He's on a roll tonight

He's on a roll tonight

get that man some butter (or margarine, since it is Wednesday)!

 

[Anhelyna]

Excellent reply Matt - that one had slipped past me

He'd sent me the 'funny' while we were chatting on Skype and of course I missed the chance to have a go at him

I always come up with my snappy comebacks, hours or even days later.

I like Ac/DC -at least I did until they let Axl Rose in. Kissing Malcolm Young used to be one of my great goals in life.

Kissing Malcolm Young? That'd be like kissing ash tray mixed with Captain Morgan and a Big Mac, wouldn't it!?

well it kind of pointless now since it seems he's little more than a drooling idiot in a nursing home now.

Ok, I'll just say it---what is Octoechos?

I'm sure this is an oldie - but I still like it

Don't feel bad; when I was a kid seeing Tawny Kitain rolling all over that car in the Whitesnake video, I was, well, smitten. Nowdays? Not so much! ROFL

[gurneyhalleck1]

Never heard it called that

[Anhelyna]

Nah - you're one of these strange Serbs

 

[prodromos]

Never heard it called that

Its a transliteration of the Greek. "echos" is actually pronounced "eehos", with the harsh "h" sound.

My whole life Americans have always had this quiet worship of all things British. Americans care much more about the Royal Family than Brits do! It's crazy. We always assume, because of the AWESOME accent British have (especially the English), that they're somehow brighter, more civilized, and classier. Just plain smarter.

"If only we could do ____________like the British." Ugh. I've heard that my whole life.

And yet, the day of the Brexit vote, the two most highly-Googled questions by Brits were

a) what is Brexit
b) what is the EU?

The scary thing? This was all post-Brexit!

My conclusion---Brits and Europeans are as goofy a bunch as we yanks, just with a great accent. They gave us Tolkien, the Beatles, Shakespeare, the coolest flag ever, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, Led Zeppelin, and Yes. So just for those reasons right there I'm eternally a fan! Throw on Luther and all these other great new shows, I'm in!

I prefer and so do the British public , Scots and Irish accents .In fact I much prefer
American accents to English which I do not like at all . And if you name is Scott ,it means you have Irish (ancient ) and Scottish roots .

OK - it's MY thread - I started it and the opening post was

<<Waaaay back we had a thread for Orthodox Memes but it seems to have reposed - well I can't find it

My GodPapa and I have a running email thread titled 'Today's funny ' and it's been running for some months now

Today's offering , don't know where he found it , deserves a wider audience ......... >>

This is a thread for 'funnies ' - things that make us laugh , smile, giggle etc.

No serious posts allowed [ yes that does mean stuff on music as well - that should be on Gurney's un derailable thread ].

Now back on topic please
