shiny_starlight and I have a long history of talking bollocks at each other in a really offensive fashion, purely for our own amusement. When I say offensive, quite often I mean offensive in stereotyping cultures/religions in a very ironic fashion. A couple of years ago, while discussing the heritage of an actor called Boyan Vukelic, we had this conversation:THIS IS POTENTIALLY OFFENSIVE AND NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY. REALLY.
Catholicism=Cock....tail.
icedmaple: They're Serbian Orthodox, which is probably a form of Catholic.icedmaple: ~Loser Smiley at Self~shiny_starlight: Orthodox is usually a stricter form of Catholicism or whatever religion they are.icedmaple: Yeahicedmaple: It's Catholicism with a hardcore, Serbian twistshiny_starlight: Somehow, that sounds like a cocktail. 'I'll have a Catholiocism with a hardcore Serbian twist please, hold the war thanks.'icedmaple: ~Dead~In conclusion:
shiny_starlight: Hmm, Catholicism could be something pure, like vodka or bacardi.icedmaple: Yeahicedmaple: Vodka - because it's odourless - and secretive.icedmaple: Catholics are always hiding stuff for guiltshiny_starlight: I know we areicedmaple: ~Sicilian raised~shiny_starlight: don't get me started on the catholic religion in Ireland. We'll be here all night. I can rant for HOURS on the topicshiny_starlight: basically, catholicism in Irelandshiny_starlight: SUCKSicedmaple: Yesicedmaple: Wellicedmaple: You were Pagans for the longestshiny_starlight: true. up the druids!shiny_starlight: :)icedmaple: Yes indeedshiny_starlight: right, back to our (soon to be) booming alcohol businessshiny_starlight: What could the Serbian twist be?icedmaple: Umicedmaple: Serbiaicedmaple: I dunno - gun powder?shiny_starlight: heheshiny_starlight: Could work. But I don't think gun shops would give us bullets on the grounds that 'We just want to make a drink' icedmaple: Heheheicedmaple: Something hot, then?shiny_starlight: tabasco sauce?shiny_starlight: heheicedmaple: Oh yesicedmaple: Waiticedmaple: Add some tomato sauce for the, um - Stigmata/Dismembered Civilians and you have a Bloody Maryicedmaple: Which brings us back to Cathlicismshiny_starlight: hehe.icedmaple: We are going to Hellshiny_starlight: oh well, at least we'll be warm---
Why do I bring this up? Because I wanted to repost the following conversation, and it reminded us of the shenanigans above. The next passage is probably worse than the above (if you're from Northern Ireland; or the Isle of Man; or just a decent, conscientious person who hates stereotyping and flagrant mocking of the poor, the Irish, the British Empire, snakes and ourselves; or Jimmy Nail), but again, is just dicking around and not to be taken seriously. But you have been warned.
And if you weren't aware, Julie herself is Irish, and I'm... some kind of inter-racial mongrel, frankly. You name it, they fucked my ancestors.
shiny_starlight: my brians is not connected todayicedmaple: Your Brian?shiny_starlight: my brain. leave me alone. i fell off a horse today. shiny_starlight: and thats my excuse for stupidity all dayicedmaple: Hahahahahaicedmaple: WHat's your excuse the rest of the time?shiny_starlight: *glares*icedmaple: Hahahashiny_starlight: >:P Don't mock the injured-from-falling-off-a-frickin-horseicedmaple: I'm mocking the afflicted from being Irishicedmaple: *rofl icon*shiny_starlight: Oh thats it..... There's no waaaay I'm stopping my english jokes when I move over there now. icedmaple: What is there to say about the English? We used to own everyone.shiny_starlight: yeah, until we kicked you out of our country by force. icedmaple: We didn't want your country anyway.icedmaple: No snakes.shiny_starlight: sure you didnt. thats why you did everything to keep it, including kidnapping six of our counties and trying to keep them for yourselvesicedmaple: I think, at this stage, most of us would be happy for you to keep them.shiny_starlight: you can keep them. theyre a gift.icedmaple: HAHAHAHAHHAshiny_starlight: we dont want them eigthericedmaple: No, no, really - I insistshiny_starlight: no no, you take them. i hear belfast is lovely this time of year. keep themshiny_starlight: go visitshiny_starlight: be britishshiny_starlight: Queen and Country and all thaticedmaple: We only have them so that the poorest part of the UK can be a bit that isn't on the mainland, and we can therefore claim it isn't really oursshiny_starlight: hahahahahahashiny_starlight: but you admit that theyre part of the UK, and we're not. so, by default, they're yoursicedmaple: You're part of the British Isles. Therefore, as their closest neightbours, they're yours.shiny_starlight: We're only part of the Brisith isles because ye Sassanachs colonised us for 800 years, which leads us again to the whole kicking you out of the country thing, and not being part of the UK, which they are, so no. You can keep them. I'll get a really large chain saw, cut them off from the Republic and gift wrap them for you if you like.icedmaple: They can drift around and bump into the Isle of Man. We don't like them, either. It's like Royston Vasey on Seashiny_starlight: hahahaha. they can rename themselves the Isle of north, or Northern Man, and get together to plot revengeicedmaple: No, dude, because a Northern Man is Jimmy Nail and no one likes himshiny_starlight: hahahahhahashiny_starlight: So, Isle of North or Isle of Northern is is then.icedmaple: The Northern Isleicedmaple: Better stillicedmaple: The Northern Islandshiny_starlight: Better still, don't call them anything at all and ignore them forever. shiny_starlight: sounds like a good plan to meicedmaple: They'd never know the difference: it sounds the same, and I doubt anyone there went to school so they can't spell itshiny_starlight: hahahahahaha
