I am a resident of Maryland, located on the most beautiful east coast of the United States of America (which is seems more like the "Bickering" States of America at the moment...)

My family, however, is from Sweden, and came over in the 1880's, passing through Ellis Island, before settling in Princess Anne, Md.

No, wait, hang on, I'v just remembered. I HATE THREADS LIKE THIS!

Last time one came up, I posted a rather witty essay. I can't remember if it was relevent in the slightest, but I'm sure it was very funny. For those who don't remember it, tough. My trousers are mightier than yours.

GA: Girls in tight trousers are nice. I refuse to say though, that they are better out of them, because my humour has evolved beyond that level.

Let us now post song lyrics.

Posted by Gaseous Anomaly (Member # 114) on :

Well mine hasn't, so:

Girls out of their trousers, whether they be tight or not, are nice.

Liam out of his trousers, whether they be tight or not (who's checking?), is probably a loathsome sight that will scald your eyes from their very sockets and bring forth from you an anguished wail that will freeze you very blood, just before your heart gives pitifully out.

Am I still talking? Very good.

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :

If I were out of my trousers, rest assured that it would be for one of three reasons;

1. Shower
2. Doing a poo.
3. Some lovely lass is receiving a delivery of salami.

And I'm in for a fun night. I go back to London tomorrow, and I'm getting picked up at 10. Even better, I've got another practical due in tomorrow, which I have to do, since you lot were no bloody help on the last one (that's right, feal guilty). And I can't test it on this computer, since I lack a JAVA, er, thing. So I get to write it all up tonight, go in at 8 tommorow, realise it doesn't work, panic, and then slap my tutor as a distraction while I set fire to things.

Oh, and I've got to pack. Everything.

Damn you all. *shakes fist*

Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :

Indeed.
Although I am worried that an intelligent person like FofT can be confused by a simple statement like "I have to pack. Everything". But, ever the gentlemen, I shall translate.

I have to pick up everything in the university room, and put into carrying utilities. These can be "cases", "bags", or "boxes". Tomorrow morning (in about 5 hours now), I will place these carrying utilities into my parents car, and we shall begin the merry drive back to London. It's currently 4:30 in the morning, and I haven't even started yet. I've still got to finish my Bubble Sort write-up.

And I've got to do a poo. Take a dump. Have a shit. Encourage mr Sausage to come out of the tunnel and take a die into the local lake.

Should I even ask whether you're talking about the girls, or their trousers?
