Why dint you just stab me in the heart!! Dont care for SIN CITY?? I thought we were so sympatico!! Ah well, we'll always have the "I Hate Lincoln" thread. I did like this thread so much better when we were talking about language. But maybe I'm just a word nerd. After all, Words & Wordplay is turning into my favorite section to troll on Y!A. That and Books & Authors. Bit of a thread derail in two polar opposite directions wasn't it? ...this was what Meds meant about string theory wasn't it? Jenne will be back later and the word sub plot will re-emerge naturally i imagine...but breaking it up would do something awful to the whole feel of it ....pretty sure unless Charley insists it's all staying right here...he's the OP after all LMAO

And boo fucking hoo about the poor poor gypsies too. What are you getting so butthurt about anyway? I'll tell you what pissed me off. Not so long ago this thread was about language and accents, American and British English and so on- to me really fascinating stuff. One mention of Pikeys and it's "Out of respect for traveling folk ...." And the completely false connection between the people i am talking about and Eastern European Gypsies. Suddenly it's black market organs ... How can we have any fun, or dare to be slightly politically incorrect while those horrible horrible things are going on ? Boring boring boring.

I wonder if Lincoln was a Pikey. Anyway the general theme of thread must surely be "The duck that turned" The story of an assuming pond dweller that rose to stardom through his genius of cartoon drawings of feline obesity. Having tasted the heady brew of popular acclaim he was tormented whenever his work failed to set the world in fire. So it was that he turned to drink, drugs and twitchery. Just when he was at his lowest ebb he discovers a new side to his life long co twitcher Eric, or was it Derek. Anyway the Duck embarks on a journey of ornithological and sexual discovery whilst trying desperately to deny his feeling for Eric or Derek.
come on help me out here somebody finish this shit.
I guess we could have him develop a bread habit and have him robbing banks (river). It all starts to get a bit wind in the willows though.

The OP is "A Complaint", so technically, it derailed long, long before I stuck my oar in. Drifts happen. And if the OP wants it split, or put back on track, he's capable of saying so. Go and start an "accents and language" thread if you feel that strongly about it.

Well at some point he meets with a Beastly sort of protagonist chappie and this allows a sort of unstated tension to develop - moving the plot along at a cracking pace towards what looks to be likely to end up in a wonderfully violent and no holds barred confrontation sort of climactic wossaname. - penultimate Act. Someone else will need to deal with the denouement - I am pissing myself far too much to type a lot.

Those of us who live in RV's are considered Gypsies, but it seems completely different here. We have to watch each others stuff to protect it from the townies.
The paid state parks employees consider us family and they love the volunteers since the state had to let so many paid employees go. Volunteers man the Visitors Center, host campgrounds, clean the grounds and the fire pits. We really are a big family.
We make friends and are never sure where or when we will see them again, but we know in most cases we will. In many cases we exchange phone numbers and rarely ever use them. We are an independent lot and proud. Almost everybody leaves stuff around, even when they aren't around.
We went to town today and left an RV paradise in camp, nothing was touched. One volunteer has over 9,000 hours of active time under her belt.
All volunteers must undergo a background check before being entered in the system.
We are modern American Gypsies, but as I have learned here today, we are of a very different sort. We aren't being persecuted, we aren't stealing, we aren't looking for trouble, although we are all armed to the teeth.

I always said you cannot trust the US government to take care of stuff. I've booked you in for a flat tyre and few funny looks.

Someone else will need to deal with the denouement - I am pissing myself far too much to type a lot. Here I will provide the "denouement" (had to look that one up): It escalates into insults in which certain persons are referred to as "drunk". Retorts are made such as "Of course I am, it's the internet yeh fecker. Bet you can't even hold yer own.". From there it devolves into a drinking game in which the spectators egg on the competitors while also partaking in spirits themselves. The whole thing degenerates into drunken blackouts and the resulting memory loss and crippling hangovers effectively resolve the problem by the following morning. Gradually the "Complaint" thread drifts back to regional accents and vocabulary, satisfying Tofudebeast's concerns, much to everyone's great relief.

Doesn't even speak proper English either. innit
