The Late Shift: What the hell is going on here today?

00:52 / 11.03.04

yeah but... am I bothered?

Come on, more random insults from your school days!

yeah but... Yer mams face? Anyone?

Bed Head

00:54 / 11.03.04

Gah. Having made a total cock of myself in the barbe-wedding thread I must run away to whichever corner of the room I decide I’m sleeping in tonight. The pie’s all yours, kids. Good night you, good night all.

Chinny on, suede.

Mazarine

00:55 / 11.03.04

Pie and your mam/mom/mum jokes, thank christ, something's a bit back to normal. Bon soir mes chers!

00:56 / 11.03.04

Night, Bedhead.

Pah. Buncha Joeys. Your pie has German measles.

00:57 / 11.03.04

Evening Maz... I was starting to worry!

00:58 / 11.03.04

BH, you silly goon! Good night to you. I'd like to think of you as a little cherub, at present. So I shall!

We can all be silly here!

Mazarine

01:01 / 11.03.04

Yesh, I unfortunately had to spend a great deal of time at school yesterday and fell asleep as soon as I got home. Good to see you, Stoatster, Suedehead, whoever else is still here.

01:01 / 11.03.04

yeah well yer mams face.

I love the utter random-ness of these insults - and the fact they have been used in all serious-ness for many ages.

01:03 / 11.03.04

It's so pointless it may in fact be genius.

Are you disrespecting my family?

01:04 / 11.03.04

Chinny reckon, surely?

01:09 / 11.03.04

spooooon!

01:11 / 11.03.04

A-hahaha! Descend in to lunacy!

01:12 / 11.03.04

Joey.

Anybody else noticed how we always come back to Joey sooner or later?

01:14 / 11.03.04

Long haired ya-hoo.

01:16 / 11.03.04

There is no way that 'long haired ya-hoo' was an insult at anybody's school.

Greasy fucking hippy, maybe.

01:17 / 11.03.04

But Joey made me think of Australia. Which made me think of Alf Stewart from Home and Away!

01:18 / 11.03.04

"Long haired ya-hoo"

what kind of freak-ass school did you go to?

Dur-brain.

01:19 / 11.03.04

It's Alf Stewart's catchphrase!

I can't remember any of the good ones, now. I think it was mainly "yer mam" "yer mams face" "yer dad" "yer mams dads mam" "your whole generation" "your whole family tree" etc...

The Return Of Rothkoid

01:22 / 11.03.04

By Christ this thing grows fast.

Maz: Hi back!
Baz: yep! Taikoz, the eminent taiko outfit here in Australia, do classes. (It's probably easy to be eminent when you're the only one, but ah well.)

So yes. Me and big drums of ancient rock. ROCK!

01:22 / 11.03.04

I was sure that we had more than just the two I've mentioned, but now I come to think about it... I dunno. All the insults that I can remember were highly personalised. You'd come up with one for a specific person, then once it became widely accepted it'd spread.

Like Muppet Brian. Muppet Brian! And John Boy. John Boy!

01:24 / 11.03.04

All the insults I love have all their power in their delivery.

"You are a shit".

It's simple, but by god it works!

...

"Yer mam's a shit!"

Every region has a variation. It's amazing. A-mazing.

01:25 / 11.03.04

You're shit- AAAHHH!!!

01:30 / 11.03.04

yeah, you wish

01:32 / 11.03.04

Cheh, riiiiiiiiight.

01:33 / 11.03.04

Is it? Is it though?

01:33 / 11.03.04

Yeah, but is it?

01:34 / 11.03.04

No, you are.

01:34 / 11.03.04

Is it though?

gingerbop

01:35 / 11.03.04

Woah Im so far behind.
The height of the bar determines the bloodiness of the toes, because if it's slightly lower than body-length +arm length +foot-length +g-force pullage, then you go for big swings, and your toes skiff the mat, which (who invented them?) has a carpet like surface.

Lurid Archive

01:37 / 11.03.04

Bloody toes? What the hell are you guys planning?

Mazarine

01:38 / 11.03.04

Oh, poor toes!

01:38 / 11.03.04

ouch, bop. that sounds orrible.

01:39 / 11.03.04

Oh, you swing from the high bar? That explains it.

I am so giving away the fact that I've never been anywhere near a gym. And yet, I'm so perfectly toned!

01:40 / 11.03.04

Maz, what's Moxie?
