> [@Autolycus](#): > > So, what you’re saying is that anytime I post something stupid people can make fun of my ladle incident? That hardly seems fair, but I guess them’s the breaks. Malcolm and Angus are sitting around a bar, tossing back pints of beer and tumblers of whisky. Angus rolls his eyes and mumbles to Malcolm: “I laid the stone for three churches in Aberdeen, from the foundation to the top, every last block, but do they call me Angus the Church Builder?” “No” grunts Malcolm “When they built that road from Edinburgh to Glasgow, I built every bridge over every single river and stream and culvert for it. With my own two hands!” Angus’ weatherbeaten hands shoot up. “But do they call me Angus the Bridgemaker?” “I s’ppose not.” returns Malcolm. “And when that storm blew in, and knocked down every barn down on Skye, who was there to help rebuild fifty barns? Was it Angus the Barn Raiser?” “Nae.” mumbles Malcolm “But you fuck one [del]sheep[/del] ladle…” Sorry, **Autolycus**. No offense was intended… much love. ---

Anyway, ‘wtf mate’ is an affectation I’ve picked up that is a reference to [this flash animation.](http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/end) Don’t like it? With all due respect, tough titties. FYI - this little flash animation link of yours, tickled me beyond all reason! A thousand thank yous for this! I’ve watched it at least 7 times since you posted the link. And I cannot stop saying “Ho-kai” and “fucking kangaroos.” 😃 ---

I have a bad habit of not reading the TOC of sites I become a member of. They are usually the same… Just a slight difference here. I’m glad it caught up to me at the best possible time. :rolleyes: ---
