No kiss? 
Whoa! You mean, Euty posted here, then flew back in time to post in that other thread?
Damn! I knew the mods had special powers, but I didn’t know they were THAT good! :eek:
Oh my god…I’m getting flashes of “Pricard is better than Kirk” over here!
:eek:
The trouble with Americans is that they don’t understand our sophisticated British sense of humour.
Hell, most of the time we don’t even understand our own.
I think we can clear up what Euty’s true motivations for liking Mary Poppins are by asking him one question:
How do you feel about The Sound of Music?
Truly, a movie that has Julie Andrews kicking Nazi Ass will uncover the truth for us all.
Oh, man … I’d like to climb her every mountain.
Did I say that out loud?
Not on a first Pitting.
What kind of poster do you think I am?
An ignorant slut.
Duh.
Listen fucktards you ass muchers, you purveyors of fecal gastronomy, when I set up a Simpsons gag, you butt weasels have to remove those swivelling broomsticks which are self evidently impaled into every single available orifice and supply the turd burgling punchline.
Cue the Benny Hill music and goodnight!
Listen mister…you won’t see this poster violating the Geneva Convention.
I have some scruples.
At least it’s better than being an intellectual slut. Just imagine it, gettin’ down and dirty with a group of other sluts and slutesses and sudenly you think “What if God exists and is in fact watching Schrodinger’s cat in the cyanide-box? Does God constitute an observer, and if so surely being omniscient and omnipresent will make all quantum states collapse.” I tell you it sure put’s a dampner on the evenings sluttitude.
Cheers, Bippy the slut.
While I don’t want to get between Euchy and Fenris, I have to point out one thing about Mary Poppins.
Dick van Dyke’s attempt at a “cockney” accent was the worst fucking thing I heard in a movie until, errr until errr well, possibly until Kevin Costner’s English accent in Robin Hood. :smack: I can still barely watch the damned movie, and I generally like Dick van Dyke.
But with the wonders of modern technology, can’t we dub his crap accent with something more within the sound of Bow Bells, and less like the sound of someone performing acts of oral sex on a hamster the hard way? Fuck, even Jar Jar had a less annoying and more convincing vocal range.
Thet’s roit guv!
HIJACK!!!
Fenris said;
Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!!
What are you, Fenris, one of those artsy-fartsy types who think movies should have a plot and good acting and sharp characterization?
Damn, I used to have such respect for you. :D:D:D
END OF HIJACK

True:
“Ho h’its ha jolliee 'ollidaie wiv yeeew Mawy Poppins!”
Fenris
Crimeny crumbcake! Are people ever going to stop harping on that?! They needed a guy who could dance! And they needed an American “name”, because none of the other principals were known in the US! Leave orf!
Good … give it time, Fenris … just relax and let go. Slowly the truth will seep out around the edges of that leaking bung stopper in your adorably warped brain pan …
Sherry Bobbins beats MP and B&B beyond recognition before the devil even gets his pants on, (and twice on Sundays!).
No. 
A) Julie Andrews was very well known in the US, having come off of wildly successful runs of My Fair Lady and Camelot.
B) There were no other actors who could dance available? Gene Kelly? Robert Preston (to name two off the top of my head)
C) Regardless of their reason, it’s still an atrocious accent. Presumably it would not be completely impossible to find, with all of Hollywood and Broadway to choose from, a person who: 1) Was a name, 2) Could dance, 3) speak in a cockney accent that’s not the worst ever recorded!
Fenris
Okay, okay. I don’t really have a dog in this fight anyway. Carry on.
