About my visit to CR4 and colloquialisms

09/03/2009 12:07 AM

Not long ago, I was silly as a cut snake, smoking up a storm and using a bit of elbow grease while trying not to drag the chain and foot slog through the internet.

Why?

I became a screw loose when I discovered my favourite site had shot through.

I was as happy as a pig in sh*t when I stumbled upon CR4. Now I am flat out like a lizard drinking helping all those yobbos who lost their brain cells over a brew and can't figure out their left hand from their right.

Now here, I discovered some stooges are as useless as an ashtray on a motorbike. Some cary on like a pork chop. Others are all over the place like a mad woman's sh*t, trying to help out the dodos with half a brain. The remainder have not yet lost their marbles, help out the battler and knock the bludger looking for an easy answer and shoot the shonky salesman from China.

I have tried not to smell like a septic tank, but this arvo have decided to have a spill and share a lingo with that drongo from beyond the blackstump. It's not my bowl of rice either to defend a brown-eyed mullett in the ocean...but had to make the cranky dag to one of my deadset fairdinkum replies to a stranded fellow ozzy come a gutser.

Please don't open your lunch and rip snort me again...I am not as useless as tits on a bull.

Texans and Australians are the worst offenders......

I say old chap, I must confess to indulging in the occaisional colloquialism to tease our American friends.
It's my way of trying to even up the 'special relationship' (Where they tell us what to do and our politicians lick their a$$).

Anyhow I'm off up the frog with the trouble to collect the Mother in Law from Hospital.
Gotta keep the minces open for the rozzers on that M11 tho'
Mind we could have given her a few bob to take a sherbet, but Mrs Cat is going to stay with her for a few days. Ha, I'll get some time on my Jack Jones.

How about, he couldn't pour pee out of a boot if the directions were on the heel. Or he hasn't got the brains God gave a green strawberry.

Hey, bro, no need to throw a hissy fit. If that dog won't hunt, remember that the squeaky wheel gets the grease. So, take a chill pill and zone out for a while. Maybe put on some mellow tunes to soothe your soul. A quick recharge, and you'll be ready to go full-tilt boogie again! Take things easy and you'll avoid getting yer undies in a knot.
