Thanks to Poppy for this one from the Southern Daily Echo. She liked the way their pointless argument created a set of nested boxes. So did I, so I coloured it in.

    *writes to Hollywood to correct them*

    I am in favour of the idea that, where possible, Danny Kaye song lyrics should have the casting vote in all arguments. It would certainly be clearer for English speakers than to refer to Andersen’s original text of “Keiserens nye Klæder.”

    Dear Hollywood,

    You dun a wrong in that film one time with the man wearing the clothes.

    Lots of love,
    Jimbo.

    Ah the Echo.

    An endless mine of rich steaming bigotry just waiting to be dug up and posted for the amusement of people with more than half a brain.

    I also like an earlier retort in that thread:

    “It is because NOBODY LIKES A SMART ****! ”

    “except queer sailor boys like you…”

    That’s some damn fine colouring in, Nelson. Proof positive that you *can* polish a turd.

    But, but, but… he put four asterisks. A clever donkey would surely be a smart ASS (quickly recounts number of letters to be sure).

    Maybe he meant CUNT.

    Because he really hates donkeys.

    Nelson Does this image count as your tribute to Albert Hoffman?

    There should be some particularly incomprehensible grief athletes limbering up right now…

    RIP Hoff.

    People who think LSD helped them connect with fundamental truths about nature and the universe are much less annoying than people who think booze has made them more entertaining and funnier.

    Ah, the Southampton Echo.

    Just leave the Weymouth Dorset Echo alone, y’hear? It’s mine. MINE alone to write nonsense letters about Shakin’ Stevens and 300 foot statues of Kylie Minogue whilst pretending to be Kim Jong-Il.

    No. I thought about that a bit more and realised they’re equally irritating.

    The four **** is explained by the later use of a*se. presumably this is a discussion between people hailing from the commonwealth somewhere.

  13. on 01 May 2008 at 2:47 pm Confused by the pretty colours

    Okay, I may be way out of my cultural depth here, but where in the commonwealth are donkeys also known as arses? Or apses, as it might be?

    That said, I admire the daring brinkmanship in Jimbo’s game of Reveal The Rude Word, jumping straight from four asterisks to one. “Top that Sailor Sam!” he seems to say. But Sailor Sam can’t, not without dropping the A-bomb on the innocent readers of the Southern Daily Echo.

    It’s like the cold war according to Tipper Gore.

    Ass - beast of burden
    Arse - what the average HYSer speaks through

    Hope that helps.

    NO it wont turn heads

    Also i can not grasp how tall it is, how many double decker buses is it?

    It’s “Andersen”.

  17. on 02 May 2008 at 1:06 pm I like Boxes

    That comments page is still taking replies. See mine for instance. How many boxes can be fitted into the thread before it explodes of a surfeit of boxy goodness?
