yeah but they're such an easy target. They're kind of Nickelback many things far worse but nobodies going to really argue for them. And also it's always a popular past time to take the traits you don't like in yourself and find them in someone more egregious about it.
they can be just as disrespectful of such things as men can be.
Man deathmetal there’s a name I miss seeing. His review of cotton boll twist always made me laugh and want to try it.
At the risk of being run out of this forum like a common pygmy, I don't like bent pipes.
That's fine; some don't like straight pipes.
But I am most interested in the "common pygmy" remark. I suspect they are rarer than hen's teeth in Scotland. Do you know the origin of the phrase?
And where abouts are you?
I think one of the problems with the internet is that people throw out strong opinions and often very poorly informed opinions and that's all we know about them. Where as Todd at work is a nice guy and I already know he's kind of crazy. So his opinion that makes your eyes go a little wide in shock doesn't exist all by it's lonesome but in a context of like an actual person with many more nuances.
“...common pygmy.”
I’m on the Scottish Riviera. Galloway coast, Looking across to Ireland. If you’ve ever seen the the movie The Wicker Man, I live next door to Christopher Lee’s garden.
That is pretty awesome. Though I hope you do the right thing for the harvest this year.
I'm a Russian Bot designed to interface with pipesmokers to piss them off in an effort to disrupt tobacco sales in the US. Long live the FDA
no you're not a Russian Bot, trust me on this we're/they're programed to deny it while also potatingly be obvious bout tic. Must use English Goodly and proper type to blend in with masses. Don't forget to talk about playing apple pie and eating baseball must fit on with populous.
Originally from Greek, referring to a tribe of short statured peoples. The "pygmy peoples" of Africa were named after the Greek legends.
I personally believe that the Greek legends were referring to the exact same people groups, as the Greek histories say that the Pygmy tribes lived to the "south of the marshy areas of the far Nile headwaters" which is where large groups of the current pygmy peoples of Africa are found to this day.
Oh, that's it! Not particularly Scottish phrase, then. Thank you.
I can't remember if I've seen The Wicker Man, but I will look it up.
Ah. 1973. Available on several streaming services.

Please watch the 2006 Nicholas Cage version after you watch the original. It is truly the pinnacle of Cage's acting career, a stunning performance.
all true but only if you're fluent in sarcasm. Feel free to watch it but don't blame me when you have to claw your eyes from their sockets.
