Dry or off-piste humour, regrettably, has no place on the Internet thanks to the baying mob that delights in taking offence.

Incidentally, you guys all know that Languish is now Googleable, right..?  :ph34r:
" SIR – I must commend you on some of your recent obituaries. I was delighted to read of the deaths of Foday Sankoh (August 9th), and Uday and Qusay Hussein (July 26th). Do you take requests? "

Question for our German posters: how common is deoderant use these days?

Very. The only smelly people I encounter are usually on public transport and fall into two categories:
- laborers who are heading home from work and haven't had a chance to shower (which is rare)
- homeless or near homeless people/boozers who smell of alcohol and body odor (about once a month or so)
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

There are many monsters out there who delight in destruction for its own sake.

Who the fuck googles their dates btw? I never do that, I consider it a bit rude.

Stupid cunt; she couldn't resist the allure of staging her own micro-drama.  I hope she's enjoying her 15 minutes of fame.  :glare:

Eh, I guess I shouldn't be surprised this is your take on the matter.

I thought that was actually a comparatively moderate take by Gral.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".

QuoteRecently, I wrote to Sacco to tell her I was putting her story in The Times, and I asked her to meet me one final time to update me on her life. Her response was speedy. "No way." She explained that she had a new job in communications, though she wouldn't say where. She said, "Anything that puts the spotlight on me is a negative."

This is odd given that Justine Sacco given that she agreed to be interviewed for this journalist's book. Buzzfeed and a few outlets were reporting on this interview back in December (with larger outfits now covering it), so it looks like a rather poor move for someone who wants to stay out of the spotlight.

Is this the revisionist, counter-piling on phase?
