Gabez Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 (That'll teach it). According to Urban Dictionary, Shoot The **** is a phrase which means... "To chat idly about things that neither person involved in the conversation will be likely to remember." Sounds like a good topic of discussion for the Internet for me! To start things off: sentences that run off for so long that they stop making sense, like the above sentence I used before, and also this one now that I stop to think about it for a cotton picking minute (what was I talking about again?) Edit: The LucasForums Police Force have slammed down on my rude word -- but we all know the one I mean!
TheJoe Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 "Take a **** 'n' shoot it, Baby" Sounds like something that needs to be in the new Duke Nukem game whenever the hell it comes out.
neon_git Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 In my mind it conjures images of tweed clad gentlemen in the English countryside useing excrement as a substitute for clay pigeons. Is that too memorable?
Gabez Posted November 9, 2008 Author Posted November 9, 2008 Haha that's wondeful. "I say, jeeves, I feel like shooting **** today instead of pigeons or poor people! Be a good chap and **** out some **** for me, then throw the **** into the air so that I can shoot it. Be sure to throw it high though, or I'll shoot your bottom, and I know you don't want to happen again!" Was that cruel to tweed clad English gentelmen? Are there any that look at this site?
neon_git Posted November 9, 2008 Posted November 9, 2008 So does Jeeves have to provide his own propulsion, so to speak, or is he allowed to use a catapult or something? Indeed are the ****ting and launching of the **** to be two separate tasks? I don't think we should let Jeeves cheat now.
TheJoe Posted November 10, 2008 Posted November 10, 2008 I'm English but I'm certainly not tweed clad or a gentleman. I'm a Scout though, does that count?
Gabez Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 Heh when I read your post I was like "what's a Scout? Is that a like a Scot or something?" and I even Googled it until I realised how forgetful I've been... it's one of those days! Apart Jeeves: perhaps he would be forced to swallow the lethal concoction of chicken vindaloo with, I dunno, baking soda and fizzy water. Like a paper mache volcano, only messier.
TheJoe Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 Gosh! And we help your grandma accross the road...
neon_git Posted November 11, 2008 Posted November 11, 2008 what's a Scout? Oh dear Gabez, have you started putting sugar in your tea? We warned you about that. I used to love being a scout. You get something out of camping with your mates you that you can't find anywhere else.
Gabez Posted November 11, 2008 Author Posted November 11, 2008 I was a Scout trainee for a while, but left before I swore my oath of allegiance to the Queen. I was one of the Woodcraft folk for a while, though... they're like the Scouts, but more hippyish.
MJ Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 My father was a Queen Scout. Apparently that was something to be proud of.
TheJoe Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 "Swearing allegience to the Queen". I called that a white lie The Queen Scout award is the highest possible reward, before the Silver Wolf. It's definitely something to be proud of.
neon_git Posted November 12, 2008 Posted November 12, 2008 My father was a Queen Scout. Apparently that was something to be proud of. Would it be frowned upon if I made a joke about how that sounds pretty gay? Or maybe some comment gay pride being so big now there's a scout badge for it? How about if I use the old "no offense" caveat? Really? Because I thought it was pretty funny
Gabez Posted November 12, 2008 Author Posted November 12, 2008 No, I remember having to swear allegiance to the Queen just to become a Scout. So I never became a Scout. If it wasn't to the Queen then it was to the flag or something. And Queen Scout? Reminds me a little of this: http://www.pbfcomics.com/archive_b/PBF191-Boy_Scouts.gif
TheJoe Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 You swear alliegence to yourself and make a promise to yourself on your monarch's name and your "god's" name. I skip the "god" part.
neon_git Posted November 15, 2008 Posted November 15, 2008 What I had to swear was "To do my duty to God and to the Queen". My view was that I had no particular obligations to the Queen and God doesn't exist so there were no actual duties to perform. That meant I could quite happily swear to do my duty all day long because it didn't mean anything. Plus I was 12 and we played with fire, so I would probably have rationalised stomping kittens to death if that's what it took to join in.
Valkian Posted November 18, 2008 Posted November 18, 2008 I wish we had a queen. Lucky british people.
neon_git Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 We're not shooting enough **** *turns up dial* I wish we had a queen. Lucky british people. Good grief why? I mean the royal family are occasionally entertaining (I love the Duke of Edinburgh, he's hilarious) but mostly they're just a pointless relic.
Valkian Posted November 20, 2008 Posted November 20, 2008 Good grief why? I mean the royal family are occasionally entertaining (I love the Duke of Edinburgh, he's hilarious) but mostly they're just a pointless relic. Yeah, I agree. I wasn't very serious about that one. Although I'm sure it would be (as you say) occasionally entertaining. But on the other side, isn't it odd to not have a president? (even if is just the same thing with a different title). Pointless topic really, but it's **** to shoot at. By the way: **** stands for Grog right? Shoot the Grog? no? what about shoot the mojo? ok-ok, I'm leaving.
neon_git Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 I thought I'd share a link to some of Prince Philip's famous quotes. When visiting China in 1986, he told a group of British students, "If you stay here much longer, you'll all be slitty-eyed" This man goes on official state visits representing my nation. Makes me ... proud?
Valkian Posted November 21, 2008 Posted November 21, 2008 "If it has four legs and is not a chair, has wings and is not an aeroplane, or swims and is not a submarine, the Cantonese will eat it." You should be proud! this is priceless.
