The very many questions-not-worth-their-own-thread question thread XXVII

[Mouthwash]

I have played Civ IV, in fact. I thought it was much like Civ III. Well... maybe a bit different. Then I found quite quickly I preferred Civ III. And then a bit later I found I was very bored with the whole thing.

Well, the reason I bring it up is that your statement was almost word for word Peter's greeting in BTS.

 

[Borachio]

Oh. Right. I didn't know that. Maybe I wasn't paying much attention. I tend not to.

Or maybe I subconsciously remembered it. Or maybe it's a fairly common idiom anyway.

 

[Takhisis]

*Pics or it didn't happen*

 

[cardgame]

I highly doubt that's a common idiom anywhere.

Except Russia, maybe, but you aren't from around there, are you, borachio?

 

[Borachio]

Pictures of what?

Seems like a common enough idiom to me. And yet, no, I'm not Russian. I do dream of Russian women tractor drivers, sometimes, though. Big stronk women!

But isn't the actual quote from Louis XIV?

This is a satire on the Kray twins, of course.

Not half as nasty as the Richardsons, though.

I just watched that again last week!

Pictures of what?

Oh, it's a saying. 'Pics or it didn't happen'. The only one who used to be able to validate his claims was Abaddon.

They need the tractors because of their great tracts of land!

Back problems are treated with traction, not tractors. Though tractors do generally have a significant amount of traction, I don't think it's the format you're looking for.

 

[Takhisis]

I meant that the tractors would accompany the great tracts of land as a dowry, but, oh well.

Tractors are associated with ample topside assets?

 

[bhsup]

When searching for "sexy tractor picture" goes horribly wrong...

 

[Borachio]

There you go.

"Be gentle with me, Svetlana."

I've had that quote in my head since last I saw the sketch.

"...and one night Dinsdale walked in with a couple of big lads... one of who was carryin' a tactical nuclear missile."

 

[Borachio]

Yeah. It's a classic.

"Did you think about reporting this to the police?"
"Well, no. Because I noticed the lad with the thermo-nuclear device was the Chief Constable."

What are those cheap single and double windows that one finds in those cookie-cutter suburban homes? The ones usually made with aluminum & painted black (usually on the exterior side) and those rotator handles on the bottoms to open and close them? Is there a specific name or label that we call them?

 

[Borachio]

Top-hung windows?

Are you thinking casement windows? Those are the ones that swing outwards from the side rather than sliding back and forth or up and down.
