That is fucking uncanny. I really do want a cup of tea

Any thoughts on the lottery numbers?

According to Cinderella chickens eat cheese...

PetiteRaleuse · 13/11/2012 20:57

Can I refer you to this very popular chain of pubs in Paris and elsewhere to say that frog isno longer a major insult ?

That's what they want you to think

You want racism? You should try telling people you are from ESSEX! Confused

AsMadAsABoxOfFrogs · 13/11/2012 20:59

Aaahhh I can't keep away.

OP as well as looking up race, nation, ethnic and xenophobia, could you please look up 'expressions'?!

BlameItOnTheCuervHoHoHo · 13/11/2012 20:59

woah!

sadly, i can only read between the lines of posts. and see what a poster means better than they can themselves.

AlienRefluxovermypoppy · 13/11/2012 21:01

I don't think MNHQ should have deleted the posts (they did in the end didn't they?) they should have PM'd amillion and said, No, you daft pearl clutcher, this IS NOT racism, it's a very common, harmless saying, meaning one is about as sane as a box of jumping amphibians. Stop reporting harmless stuff. luv MNHQ

Then I wouldn't have spent half the night banging my head against a wall.

LadyBeagle · 13/11/2012 21:03

I'm surprised that this thread is still here TBH, seeing how happy clappy Amillion is with the report button.

LRDtheFeministDragon · 13/11/2012 21:06

It's true blame. I am a shite feminist and a shite dragon. Sad

ItsNotEasyBeingGreen · 13/11/2012 21:07

AsMadAsABoxOfFrogs here, but I've name changed again... Not grammatically correct but I can't forget frog gate easily, I want to be reminded how ridiculous people can be sometimes.

Bye bye amillion, see you on another thread, hopefully when you're not being so 'as mad as a box of frogs'...

And can I just say Dara O'Briain it's pronounced HAD-Ron not HAY-Dron!!!!

BlameItOnTheCuervHoHoHo · 13/11/2012 21:08

there there.

I dont really drink tequila.

BlameItOnTheCuervHoHoHo · 13/11/2012 21:08

Grin ItsNotEasy, thats ace

Moln · 13/11/2012 21:09

I thought chickens where veggie too.

Have I fallen for foul propaganda?

LRDtheFeministDragon · 13/11/2012 21:10
Shock

No tequila?!

Is it because you are Mexicanist? Hmm

AlienRefluxovermypoppy · 13/11/2012 21:11

I've never trusted chickens, it's in the eyes.

champagnesupernova · 13/11/2012 21:12

Poor MNHQ
They can never win
Six hours is one school day ffs

IamtheZombie · 13/11/2012 21:12

Zombie drank tequila once. On her 25th birthday. It was the kind that had the worm in the bottle. She may have had 2 worms.

She was sick as a dog (can she say that??) for days.

To this day just the smell of tequila makes her gag.

BlameItOnTheCuervHoHoHo · 13/11/2012 21:14

you got me.

I hate chickens. in fact, I hate all birds. they are untrustworthy. owls can turn their heads 360deg. so could the little girl in the exorcist.

BarbecuedBillygoats · 13/11/2012 21:14

Fowl propaganda?

LRDtheFeministDragon · 13/11/2012 21:15

Zombie is very wise to avoid tequila. It is evil.

ItsNotEasyBeingGreen · 13/11/2012 21:15

Oih! Stop being chickenist... My best friend is a chicken! Angry

squishee · 13/11/2012 21:15

If I call someone as mad as a hatter, am I making a racist slur about hatters?

BarbecuedBillygoats · 13/11/2012 21:15

Zombie's being dogist, zombie's being dogist

MmeLindor · 13/11/2012 21:16

Alien
Good point. Perhaps MNHQ should have had a quiet word with amillion

I'm tempted to namechange to amillionfrogsinabox but that would be cruel. Sorry amillion
