Just need to save up some money, bringing along a larger amazon to help with the 12 year old in the track suit. I wonder if i skin him with his own machete if i can make some sort of hat? maybe a cape?

15. Fictionpuss and his kind MUST and WILL be mercilessly punched in the face until they move to Canada to bitch about it.

I thought this was done. My statement was about being an English kid growing up in a rough area of Scotland, and having my birthplace given as the sole and consistent reason for the occasional beating and more frequent verbal abuse.

If you want to portray and spin that observation as me bitching about it then I guess I can't stop you, but we did have a truce until now -- do you really want another fight?

Bonus - you may get another t-shirt out of it.

17. Any grudges will be held close to the heart at all times and thrust into your back at the earliest convenience.

[Pope Pixie Pickle]

I dont care, and im still just joking.

its like your meme or something.

Like how Mourning Star refuses to beleive I'm not scottish.

Shirt is comfy too.

Well, it's just a bit of fun. I mean I did find it simultaneously hilarious as fuck and offensive. My kind of meme. It's not even about YOU any more, you just happen to be inextricably linked to it through epic douche baggery. And you did bitch about it. It was one of your central arguments for EVERY SINGLE SCOT being a bigoted asshole as I recall.

As for this "bonus" crap, you can cut that shit out right now. Your speculations on anything regarding Pixie and myself are not welcome, partly because I'd like to keep that shit off the boards to a large extent but mostly because I just plain don't like you.

P.S. I was the one that suggested No. 15 in the first place for the reasons detailed above.

17. Any grudges will be held close to the heart at all times and thrust into your back at the earliest convenience.

YES! That's the spirit! Except it's not really the earliest convenience...

[Captain Utopia]

Well I'm glad something good came out of it.

Link, or STFU.

For the record I wasn't speculating about anything with the "bonus" comment - noting that a t-shirt was inspired by the last round is hardly an invasion of your privacy. You'd do well to take the advice you gave me and not take it so personally.

I WANT TO GO TO SCOTLANDDDDDDDDDDDD

14. D/N/T The wide scale antipathy for The Proclaimers. We WILL walk 500 miles, and then walk 500 more just to be the antisocial raging asshat that's come tae kick yer door in and terrorise you, your goldfish and your elderly relative who is over for her weekly cup of tea and a biccy.

Until this exact moment, I thought the Proclaimers were Australian.

I was born in England

I'm pretty sure you can't get any less Scottish than that.

Tell me about it. But since I grew up and spent the worst 26 years of my life there, I consider myself from Scotland, but not Scottish. Thankfully.

Well as long as you understand that as long as you were born in England, to us you're about as English as Vinnie Jones dressed as the Queen while morris dancing and drinking tea (other than Scottish Blend, obviously).

Yeah - random punches to the face, death threats and a constant stream of bigotry and abuse are quite clear indications of this common belief. Never did find out what was so special about being Scottish, apart from a naturally violent inclination towards the English. The best parts of Scotland I ever found was in the countryside, but that's only because it was virtually empty as everyone else was down the pub getting pissed and telling jokes about how everything is the fault of The English.

And then you have Hogmanay, and the sugar sweet coating over the hundreds year old hatred.. and the "harmless fun" and the "not really meaning it" bullshit. Once you've lived it, it takes on shades of innocence similar to McCain singing "Bomb Bomb Iran" - you might or might not consciously wish any ill to people born south of the border, but by perpetuating the joke, you perpetuate the moronic hatred.

Seems pretty clear to me, plus a fuckton of other posts in that self same thread. Oh, I'm not saying that the people debating you were 100% right all the time. I just love your accusation that ALL SCOTS ARE BIGOTS, which you did by suggesting you only like the bits of Scotland with NO Scots in it and then diving into stereotype and incredibly broad generalisations. It's hilarious to me, especially because you seem so confident and sure of your towering capabilities. You're a smart guy, sure, I just love poking at you over that completely retarded statement.

Really though, now this joke so obviously irritates the living fuck out of you, be prepared to see more of it.

As for this "bonus" crap, you can cut that shit out right now. Your speculations on anything regarding Pixie and myself are not welcome, partly because I'd like to keep that shit off the boards to a large extent but mostly because I just plain don't like you.

You have speculated in the past. To wit:

Of course, that's probably just me, so feel free to continue your bizarre obsession with everything Payne says or does, and being a cheerleader for my derision.

Now, Pixie is a big girl and can look after herself (I know this from personal experience), but you do have a history of making sideyways comments regarding the two of us. It's not even taking it personal as such, but me taking an active interest in seeing that she isn't attacked by asswads like you because asswads like me are attacking you. I don't want her to be thought of as any kind of target because she may or may not have some form of relationship or friendship with an asswad like me (this is why I try to keep extra-curricular activities off the board). Keep it between us, eh? It's more gentlemanly that way.

Good girl.

Go back to thinking they are and all will be well.

I'm totally happy with that.

[East Coast Hustle]

there's not much difference anyway.

Australians are just sunburnt Scots.

[Captain Utopia]

Wow, re-read through the rest of that thread, and you're right about the epic douche baggery 

Oh well.

And you did bitch about it. It was one of your central arguments for EVERY SINGLE SCOT being a bigoted asshole as I recall.

Bullshit. You know I don't think all Scots are bigots. Not least because we already went over that particular quote a few months back and I specifically denounced that the narrow interpretation which you're back on it seems - which precludes the possibility that I may have not been completely serious in tone - as anything which holds any resemblance to my personal views.

It was stupid of me to insert my own stereotypes and generalisations, I took it as friendly riffing at the time - a nuance lost in the subsequent dogpile.

It's hilarious to me, especially because you seem so confident and sure of your towering capabilities.

  I give off that vibe? I must be better at bluffing than I thought.

You're a smart guy, sure, I just love poking at you over that completely retarded statement.

Really though, now this joke so obviously irritates the living fuck out of you, be prepared to see more of it.

I'd really just prefer to wipe the slate clean.

But yeah, if you mock and misrepresent me, I'm going to stand up for myself. This shouldn't be coming as a surprise.

As for this "bonus" crap, you can cut that shit out right now. Your speculations on anything regarding Pixie and myself are not welcome, partly because I'd like to keep that shit off the boards to a large extent but mostly because I just plain don't like you.

You have speculated in the past. To wit:

Of course, that's probably just me, so feel free to continue your bizarre obsession with everything Payne says or does, and being a cheerleader for my derision.

Yes, to wit, in the past. An incident that was singular in nature, and for which I apologised for as it was out of line.

Now, Pixie is a big girl and can look after herself (I know this from personal experience), but you do have a history of making sideyways comments regarding the two of us.

Once. Apologised for. See above.

It's not even taking it personal as such, but me taking an active interest in seeing that she isn't attacked by asswads like you because asswads like me are attacking you.

Bullshit. She attacked me and mocked me by name - I didn't seek her out.

In the first incident, she had been calling me a cunt for about a week in random threads, amongst other hurled abuse. I ignored all but the last provocation.

I don't want her to be thought of as any kind of target

She targeted me. On both occasions. Without provocation on my part.

It just seems like you might be spinning this into a thing where I am attacking Pixie to get at you somehow, which is bizarre to me.

Also, I don't believe I did attack Pixie earlier today.. merely pointed out that mocking me was a violation of the truce.

I considered this response to be the end the matter, and wasn't planning on taking it further:

Shirt is comfy too.

Well I'm glad something good came out of it.

because she may or may not have some form of relationship or friendship with an asswad like me (this is why I try to keep extra-curricular activities off the board). Keep it between us, eh? It's more gentlemanly that way.

Look. I don't hold any bad feelings about either of you. I've admitted to my stupidity, I've apologised for when I went over the line, as far as I'm concerned the animosity is one-sided and it's up to you whether you want to continue with it.

[P3nT4gR4m]

All scots are bigots. Only an englishman or a fenian could possibly think otherwise

[LMNO]

I got a second opinion on this, from an ex-American who moved to Scotland.

He says you're a bunch of Londoners who can't handle Scotland, and that the people there are quite nice compared to where he used to live.

I am never ever going within 100 miles of Philadelphia.

He sets them up, HE KNOCKS THEM DOWN!
