Hey guys.. just a quick note to ease what seems to be a certain level of confusion on this site. Two things: 1. These things: They're called venetians, named after Venice. V E N E T I A N S There's no 'O' in the word, and no 'U' either.. 'Venutians' come from Venus. Venetians arent from Venus. Remember that. 2. If you BUY something, and then want to tell somebody about it, it is past tense, therefore you need to use the past tense of 'buy', which is.. 'BOUGHT' Not 'brought'. Correct: "I bought this screamer pipe for my VL on the weekend." Incorrect: "I brought this BOV for my VL on the weekend." Remember this: 'Bought' is the past tense of 'buy'; 'Brought' is the past tense of 'bring'. Check it out: Correct: "I bought this chick a drink, then I brought her home and slammed her!" Incorrect: "I brought this chick a drink, then I brought her home but I couldnt give it to her because my grammar is so poor, I can't effectively communicate my needs." I hope this has cleared any confusion, and there are a few more things that are really irritating, but I cant think of them right now, but I'll be sure to post them as soon as I remember them. <3 Dixie Some original photos have not been recovered yet.

Haha, great thread Dix. Another thing: ask Correct: I was asked by Dixie about the kebab store. Incorrect: I aksed Dixie if my poor pronunciation would eventually lead to me living in a lower middle class suburb. One that annoys the living sh*t out of me, due to how wide spread it is.

I've heard that registration plates expressing the driver of said motor vehicle's apprehension regarding the age of young female road spectators and whether or not they have passed the legal age of sexual consent have also been somewhat ineffective.

OR, in another, more accurate way, it has been found that said young female road spectators perceive the registration plates as witty and humorous, and as a result develop a certain level of attraction to said driver, thus resulting in relations of a sexual nature between both parties.

If you cant figure out what 'touche' means, just use 'oh snap' and be done with it. Thankyou.

What if it was made out of a shoebox which came from my brand new pair of adidas shoes i just scored from my cousin habib's brother's mate's friend's uncle? I suppose you'd know about the more efficient ways eh? such as inflaitable company?

I have been witness to contradictory data regarding your above statement and have also been informed that the only sexual relation taken part in by the subject of discussion of late was in fact the result of financial solicitation - and with a giraffe.

I believe your data is thoroughly flawed, as I have witnessed first hand that numerous instances of relations have been acquired through the use of skill and cunning, not through any means of financial solicitation. I also put it to you that my data is of more worth as it is first hand, whereas yours is hearsay. (Not heresy, heresay.) Although it is technically heresy, because I am a god.
