Lord, you guys are gonna get me fired.
My boss passes by and I actually have tears in my eyes. I’m trying not to laugh. My teeth are clenched. There is a vein pulsating on my forehead.
“What’s the problem?” My boss asks.
“Flibberty the gibbets!” I burst out.
No, not fired. Committed.

Don’t laugh, Biggirl. You MUST remain calm. Take a deep breath. Concentrate. Do NOT think of the words “flibbity” “the” and “gibbets”.
Especially “gibbets”, that one’ll get you every time…

Now that you’ve changed your name Inky, are you only going to post with that pirate accent? I think it may hinder your credibility in GD just a tad.

Bah! You scurvy fungal growth on Neptunes codpiece! You dare calls ME a mere leader of squids!
Ha! Your clumsy sword slash missed me entirely! And although you’ve managed to cut my parrot Scabby Pete from stem to stern, I suspect he’ll be right as rain tomarrow (I has seen chickens hurt worse than that get better)!
Yer ill conceved termite attack upon my wooden leg will come to nothing ye blighter, as my leg is carved of the purest formica (a bad case of Dutch Elm disease taught my the wisdom of save steps!) Arrrr !
