The first thing I have to ask is "Can you keep a secret?"

You would probably answer "Yes"

I would have to reply "So can I"

No sorry I have to restrain myself at this point.

buzzbug · 1 Jan 2005, 3:49 pm

I was the first one to have his kids come screaming into his bedroom due to the sound of cats being neutered, I mean, Bagpipes being strangled at the RSL (it's next door).

Damn Vet's and AJ's. Save the bloody country and they think they can subject us to their musical torture at all hours!!! Isn't there a war somewhere to keep bagpipe man busy???

vwombat · 3 Jan 2005, 10:00 am

i was the first to steal a bunch of helium ballons and run around pretending i was a happy new year gnome.........

The sad thing is she had a self inflicted wedgie at the time, and two chips up her nose (single nostril - she needed the other one for breathing, as her mouth was occupied with ingesting copious amounts of alcohol). Hey Heather - did you realise too late that your date was a monkeyrat in male drag? Or was that intended?

Boozer · 3 Jan 2005, 3:44 pm
