Declan 5,882 Posted September 9, 2015 Did you attempt to replicate a James Bond stunt resulting in you requiring hospital treatment, and losing your job as usherette at the Picture House? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
the stinking enigma 8,957 Posted September 9, 2015 Yes that's exactly how it happened. Don't tell me it happened to you too? 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Declan 5,882 Posted September 9, 2015 No, I was there. You ruined the picture. I still don't know if Bond survived, captured the baddies and got the girl. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vulgarian 1,149 Posted September 9, 2015 Never hit TSM repeatedly across the head with a frying pan...yet. ... or let an opportunity for a sly dig at her pass. Wait, TSM is female? Or are you just trying to be cool by using the feminine pronoun as a generic one? If true this has far-reaching implications... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
paswt 3,251 Posted September 9, 2015 I believe, if memory serves , a post from TSM indicated that he/she may be female ,and not just one person , which may go some way to explain why he/she is a road race fan and then blaming all concerned with road racing for any incidents. Can't see why this should have "far reaching implications" , he/she has, again if memory serves, conceded that he/she has 'sock puppets' , maybe he/she has multiple personalities .......... who knows?...........who cares ?

Declan 5,882 Posted September 9, 2015 (edited) Never hit TSM repeatedly across the head with a frying pan...yet. ... or let an opportunity for a sly dig at her pass. Wait, TSM is female? Or are you just trying to be cool by using the feminine pronoun as a generic one? If true this has far-reaching implications... Both. I don't know. But if I was to hazard a guess I'd say the chances are female 60% vs 40% male. So, being cool and all, it felt wrong to use the generic one when I thought it was more likely to be wrong. Besides it annoys the "politically correctness gone mad" brigade. Not sure why The Sick Moon's gender has far-reaching implications, unless you'd planned on going on a date with him.

Not sure why The Sick Moon's gender has far-reaching implications, unless you'd planned on going on a date with him. There are gender-neutral pronouns. E.g instead of he, she, or the clumsy he/she, you can say "xe". A typical sentence might be, "Yes, xe is right up xemself." I'm not sure the cure is worse than the disease, though.

Sheldon 773 Posted September 9, 2015 I suspect that breaks Orwell's 6th rule. I suspect you're right - although "barbarous" is a bit harsh. Still, at least it wasn't rule 34, Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
