GLATT TO AISLE FOUR. GLATT TO AISLE FOUR.

Banana Lady frenzies ARE your favorite posts.

I'm not a newb but I can't decipher the cricket thing. Nor shifting your ass or biking. ;)

Hasn't she come to do the housework?

cricket is used the way we use sporting, as in a good sportsmanship or a sporting chance, fair play.

How fast I can bike? probably means get something done. but I'm not sure. shifting your ass is getting your ass in gear.

Not a newbee and have absorbed enough Bringlish, apparently.

I read the above just like it was English! :D

A banana lady procrastination thread. I love these!

no I literally meant biking. it's a nice day here and it is the missing piece tomy triathlon puzzle. i was contmplating pulling the bike out of hibernation and giving it a try (instead of cleaning) when the plane showed up as landed. :)

See, I was a bit confused because my nanna (from Leicester) used the cryptic diary entry "Fell off my bike" to indicate she'd gotten slaughtered that night.

My grandparents, at least 3/4 of them, were not amateur drinkers.

"On my bike" can also mean a lady is menstruating.
Although of course no real lady would ever make reference to such an indelicate topic.

Not where I came from.

Bike. Two wheels, no blood, no drugs unless your name is Armstrong. Sundae you don't include me whn you mention brits, so why anglify me now?


It's another nice day. maybe today is bike day. Although it's somewhat chilly..... I'mm'a hit the gym first while it warms up, i think... I'm already done with BL :(

Only because there's as little chance of me meeting you as any of the Merkins :)

Oh, I dunno. I think the Zicatos and the MonsterBeests will eventually meet up. They get to Chicago from time to time. We've gotten real close a couple of times. We're bound to connect at some point.

This is how this read in my head.

'Tis what I meant.
I have family I consider Australian because I'm unlikely to meet them again, despite one being English and the other Kiwi (and my cousin, who really is Australian.

Ah. Never mind. :bolt:

I don't mind you, Pete.
But I do mind you.

I was just bragging on my Bringlish skills, but I don't quite get the implication in the last line. It's flirty, right?
Sundae • Apr 1, 2013 3:25 pm
Nah, just silliness. really.
To "mind" someone is sort of to be wary of them. Or get them to be wary of you. Or just listen.

I say to Diz all the time, "Mind yourself. MIND yourself now!" when he gets in my way and I nearly fall down the stairs.

So it's a way of saying I take what you say seriously.
But hey, flirty I can do ;)

If you were a milkshake I'd suck you so hard I'd give both of us a headache. Oops, no. That's just rudey.
Pete Zicato • Apr 2, 2013 10:53 pm
Oh my. I need a cold shower now.

I'd say you have masters in flirty.
