Default R8 Wannabie

Just been shopping to asda in morley and was coming back home just past Mr Handjob (haha been past it a million times but it still makes me chuckle)

Out of a side road pulled an old shaped Audi TT.................with 2 carbon fibre (possibly carbon fibre look-a-like) panels stuck on the side trying to make it look like an R8

IT LOOKED RIDICULOUS

The TT is a great looking car in its own right, don't get me wrong the R8 is gorgeous but WHY would someone do it???????? WHY????

Each to their own but I just can't believe someone would do that, step back and think...Yeah, that looks Goooood

No.. this isn't a fight. A fight lasts more than .0004 seconds.

Military trained special forces allied with Britains finest copper... against a lanky bloke who wears marigolds... Who BOTH have CF spoilers and are now.........annoyed.

Those marigolds are a part of WYIOC initiation ceremony legend.

When carefully combined with the Vaseline, blowtorch, AAA battery, Sinclair C5 motor and headtorch they provide sufficient protection for the intiator to remain entirely free of contamination from the fluids seeping from the initiatee.

Simply because I choose to wear them during my free time has no relevance to this thread, or indeed this fight. Play fair Mr C. Queensbury rules.

I see you're rolling out those big guns mentioning the marigolds. I don't think we've had anyone brave enough to go to level 5.

Also;

Queensbury rules chapter 3 para 6 states: Any Gentleman may, when attempting to gain a slight advantage, strike a single low blow or point / wave to an imaginary friend to distract the other Gentleman. Only a single 'cheap shot' may be taken in any given altercation. The blower must then clearly apologise and the the blower and blowee may shake hands before continuing with the alternate striking. More than one 'cheap shot' will result in the Gentleman being barred from his favourite drinking club and he should be issued with a single white feather and called a 'Cad' in a loud voice.

Therefore I shall not apologise as I believe the initiation marigolds are coated with paprika and have those secret compartments to hold various 'tickling' devices. Quite unfair in Gentleman's hand to hand combat.

I'll see you chillis, and raise with my SCCM (Sticky's Chilli Counter-measure)

I demand, under the rules of all that waffle posted by Al in a vain attempt to get in a sneaky blow, the use of the most potent anti-chilli-sting substance known to man. The threats have grown to such an extent that you leave me with no choice other than to invoke the "sherbert dip"

Stick that in your chilli laden over-sized cheap Netto marigold rip-offs, but get ready to run as soon as the "powder of doom" comes into contact with your not-so-hot-to-trot rainforest seed pods.

cant we just buy the blowee a pint and discard the marigolds.... besides, i only have a box of 100 powdered latex gloves, which will in all fairness, last alot longer than 1 pair of marigolds?

Yeah, but your 'powder' isn't of the regulation standard, i.e. talc.

In fact, are those the 100 latex gloves that the police want to talk to you about? If so I doubt thet'd last longer than marigolds if the sniffer dogs were brought in.
Unless of course both blower and blowee agree to the use of powdered articles. But just remember the friction burns from last time...

incorrect.. what i didnt mention is that i use the powderless nitrile gloves.. which are a lot stronger, and do not give off a scent for the police dogs!

Sorry dear, but this is serious man stuff. Calming down is not an option...

As talc is a metamorphic mineral resulting from the metamorphism of magnesian minerals such as pyroxene, amphibole, olivine and other similar minerals in the presence of carbon dioxide and water then I'm afraid it is the only talc based substance allowed on the gloves. This is clearly laid down in the WYIOC initiation rules (Chapter 8, para 9, sub section B).

I'm afraid Si and I will have to get together to come up with a suitable alternative that counters the ferocious power of sherbet. It must be along the lines of a special liquorice as this is the only known substance that you can use in a dip-dab.

Nice move Sticky, I'm impressed with that counter-counter move.

First, and probably most importantly, my deepest sympathy goes out to Landy and his family for the sudden loss of his R8 Wannabe thread. RIP.

Now, to business...

The humble dip-dab is widely overlooked in the world of man-trumping (the act of getting one over on one's peers, not the act of passing wind from the rectal opening)
Indeed, during the mid 80's it was discovered that in the event of all-out thermonuclear war the only two things that would survive would be the cockroach and the Basset's Sherbet Fountain. Surprising, but true. At least the cockroaches would have something too eat.
Tests were carried out at a top secret research laboratory in Crigglestone, cunningly disguise as an end terraced house, but beneath the every day exterior lay some of the most sophisticated measuring equipment known to man.
The facility was so heavily armoured that it was the only place in the world that NATO permitted it's researchers to carry out the mixing ouf sherbet and vinegar, though 18 top scientists died during the first test, as an extra drip fell out of the pipette, and the room was only rated as a one-drip facility.
Heads rolled, and the head of NATO only survived an assasination attempt due to the fact that the liquorice used in the assault wasn't sufficiently old enough to allow full penetration of his stab-vest.

Suffice to say that, in this particular instance, your gloves will be about as affective as a string vest in a parachuting competition.

Whilst in the midst of battle, you rightly salute this fallen post. My sympathies too.

But collateral damage is no concern of mine....

Your knowledge of the secret laboratory is impressive, but this smugness has led to a slight but deadly mistake. That 48 box is probably one of the worlds deadliest weapons but, like your tank top, you've laboured in the past and forgotten the modern day equivalent which is orders of magnitude more dreadful... I'm talking about the Coke and Mentos Bomb...

This grainy picture shows the power of a 1.5 Ltr bottle and a few Mentos, seconds before it engulfed the neighbourhood... Now only ants live there., still sucking the sugar from the desolate area.....



Simon and I have now acquired this terrible weapon and armed with 2 Diet bottles and 3 complete packs of Mentos, we can easily take out you puny 48 box.. be afraid....

I'm afraid you'll have to do better than that....

I'm not quite sure which side you two are on... But you'll find I pay mercenary's quite well. Especially explosive experts like you two... and in Mark's case.. a slightly evil twist... which I like..
