I wonder why.

Hmm. Actually you might be right about Winnie the Pooh.

onebatmother · 19/06/2008 00:18

Do you think it's The Lotus Eaters-ish apathy?

Ah. Amphibimum, I feel for you. but presumably they were actually amusing? Is there something intrinsically attention-seeking about being funny (I wonder....?) [gun]

Actually I have to go to bed as I have a driving lesson tomorrow and I crash when I'm tired.

You are so NOT right about Winnie The Pooh! He is about twelve, for a start! Weirdoid.

I don't think it means anything. Except possibly the author's own apathy sort of seeping through the nonsense of the text.

A driving lesson. Hell's teeth! Good luck.

Slingsby · 19/06/2008 00:21

Why is he twelve?

Amphibimum · 19/06/2008 00:21

lol at crash when tired. hope you dont. 9good luck with lesson)

no, being funny not a crime, being all angsty and fucked up in head tiresome though. glad i appear to be coming out of it.

Slingsby · 19/06/2008 00:21

And actually yes it does suggest a lotus eaters sort of thing.

Amphibimum · 19/06/2008 00:22

onebat my dear, he is so not twelve. twelve yos are hideous gangly clumsy things, WTP is none of those.

Amphibimum · 19/06/2008 00:22

(what are lotus eaters?)

onebatmother · 19/06/2008 00:23

He just doesn't look fully developed, imvho.

Slingsby · 19/06/2008 00:23

onebatmother · 19/06/2008 00:25

OP posts:
Amphibimum · 19/06/2008 00:27

Amphibimum · 19/06/2008 00:27

onebatmother · 19/06/2008 00:28

Oh, Onebat you trusting soul you.
My Gin etc weren't accidents but cynical manipulation of the emoticons in order to make me look... well, funny. But I LOVE that you thought they were.

It gets worse, Nappies is absolutely right - I'm not even being original, I completely ripped them from her.

I admired her [bush] when I was a mere MN pup, then she demonstrated her [wank] after one or two Gins.

I was bowled over and have striven to emulate her ever since.

[lush]
