A leading Steward Island Newspaper was quoted today as saying "not only do we want the yanks out. We will use our nuclear defences to declare war against them if they continue to fish in our waters. This POACHING must cease immediately or we we will declare war’’.
What should we do???
When come back, bring pie.
In the immortal words of pauline hanson: PLEASE EXPLAIN.
The answer is “YES”.
. . . or, “Blue”. I always get these things mixed up.
Better, surely, to be gullible than completely freaking incomprehensible?
To both you and oh&s, though this may spoil others’ fun: their answers are as sensible as the question.
No problem. I prefer my seafood broiled, anyway.
Post in the right forum?
I don’t understand this post either.
jjimm, I think that **Mathochist ** interpreted your first post as a comment on my and **Bosda Di’Chi of Tricor’s ** posts. He was saying that our non-responses made as much sense as the OP (which is to say, “not much”).
I, however, interpreted your post as a comment on the OP itself.
It’s entirely possibly that I’m completely in the wrong about all this, of course . . .
Does this L-doper mean Stewart Island in New Zealand, where you go to actually see kiwis?
oh&s, welcome to the Straight Dope Message Boards, we’re glad to have you here.
Having said that, I admit that you’ve got me puzzled.
First off, I don’t think any one knows what, exactly, you’re talking about. What or where or who is Seward Island? How do they come to have nuclear weapons? What “yanks” are they talking about? How does this headline make you say “americans are gullible”?
So, my first bit of friendly advice is: if you want to join the fun here, you need to express your questions (or comments or whatever) in some form so that other people can understand what you’re talking about, without having to read your mind. Mind-reading is difficult even at close quarters, and almost impossible over the internet.
Second, this particular forum is meant for comments on Cecil’s Columns. If you’re not sure what “Cecil’s Columns” means, please read our FAQ… and try some of the columns at our Archives.
'm not sure exactly what forum to put this in, since I don’t have a clue what you’re talking about… and, judging by responses, neither does anyone else. So, for want of anything better, I’m going to let it sit here until we get further clarification.
I request that no one else post to this thread, until we get some clarification from oh&s about what she/he is trying to say.
oh&s, I’m also officially advising you that your conduct in this and other threads so far is not appropriate. These are moderated boards, and we do not appreciate misbehavior – whether intentional or inadvertent – by someone who doesn’t understand what our Boards are all about.
You can learn about us and join us, or you can please find some other internet location more to your liking.
