This is why I feel old - it’s been in use since I was a kid (waaaaaaaaaaay back in the 80s) and probably before that.

The fact people don’t know what it means… children!! You are all children!!!

(Or, you know, from countries where it’s not used?)

Wow - now I feel old.

Only if you do it indoors.

Bakers dozens!!

(We come in 13s)

tumblr people are real.

Aren’t they?

So basically I’m the only person who finds the fact that cross-cultural misunderstandings are leading to some Americans thinking the senior directors of the NHS are eating children is UTTERLY HILARIOUS?

Good to know.

Oh my good god.

I thought I was the only person who knew this reference!!!

Really? Cause I think an anti-joke would be :-

I took my girlfriend to the dance, but first I went to get her some flowers. It took me forever, because there was a very long line at the shop for flowers.

We arrived at the dance, and she asked if we could have our photo taken. But it took us forever because there was a very long line to get your picture taken.

I went to get her some snacks, but it took forever because there was a very long line at the snack bar.

Then she asked if I could get her some punch, and I went and got it and brought it back, and it took no time at all.

Maybe he is exaggerating :)

A joke is when you say

"A guy walks into a bar with a dog, and he says ‘I’ve got a talking dog’.

And the barman says ‘No way’.

And the guy says ‘No trust me, and he’s also really smart. If you give him £5, he’ll do whatever you want’.

So the barman gives the dog £5, and says ‘bring me back a newspaper, and don’t forget the change’,

Then the dog says ‘okay’ because he’s a talking dog. Then he walks out the pub.

They wait. Then they way, then they wait, then they wait. Then it’s two hours later and the dog hasn’t come back.

So the guy and the bartender go out looking for the dog.

They look all round the town, then eventually they find the dog down an alley with a lady dog, and they are clearly getting it on hot and heavy.

The guy is shocked and he says ‘HEY! What are you doing? You’ve never done this before!’

And the dog calls back ‘I’VE NEVER HAD THE MONEY BEFORE!’"

Tell me about it :)

Why?

Speaking as a straight, white guy you think there is a limit to the stupidity of straight, white guys?

Every time I try it in any voice other than mine it comes out as Don Corleone - specifically during his opening monologue (when he’s talking to the baker.

Not quite sure why.

I really haven’t.

Oh - sorry. I think you may have misunderstood me.

I mean when someone says the bit in quotes, not the entire thing.

Just to be clear :)

(Although now I look at it I can see how that is not clear at all, and I might go back and change it or possibly just remove and repost it because it’s obviously bollocks).

When the stars go out, and the planets turn cold and every living being has died…

There will still be tumblr. (I’m assuming before some people die they will queue up about a dozen or so posts saying “Wow that star is quite bright - I wonder if it’s going to explode soon” or “Bugger me it’s cold. I think I’ll go watch Goncharov for the 10th time before the projector freezes up complete”. You know – the important stuff we need to know!!)

Yeah - don’t try this site (Warfrn). It sucks.

No offence to those who run it, but they are fascists who have no idea what free speech actually is.

I realise they are going to try to defend themselves, but they are free speech fascists who are as bad as Trump and Musk.

I’d say “no offence” but I think you probably wouldn’t believe me.

I’m all for political correctness.

Or good old fashioned politeness as it used to be called before the right-wing got all pissy about it.
