Permanently Bewildered and Shit Sherlocks11 Aug 2010 09:42 am

On the scale of trying to find excuses not to do stuff (I’ve yet to find a name for it because I can’t find the time to sit down and think about it) HYS reaches its very zenith when they discuss free milk for the under fives.

Let us be realistic here. The issue of milk is to children under the age of 5. Have you ever given a drink to a child that age? Unless totaly supervised, the child is more likely spill it or simply leave it. Its far better to give milk to children at home and under proper supervision.

Well, you got me. Can’t fault that argument.

Really, I can’t. It’s so fucking stupid I can’t think of anything to say in response.

    I am equaly sure that it will not affect the immigration shuttle from Pakistan into Heathrow airport

    What’s an immigration shuttle? Is it like a space shuttle, except brown because it carries forrins rather than glorious white people?

    I have a 5 year old coming around my house in 1 hour (not nefarious purposes I assure you) I shall test out mildenhalljohns hypothesis thoroughly by not supervising the child at all.

    To make it a bit more interesting I shall leave all the sockets unbared, my razor lying around, some sharp knives, a pan of boiled water and skilfully loosen a few wires.

    Lets see what gets the kid first.

    Now I realise that this isn’t actually anybody’s fault but I’d still feel a bit better if I had somebody to blame.

    mildenhalljohn will do nicely, the fucking leg hurting bastard!

    There’s a high likelihood that he’s actually trying for an extended metaphor to explain why he thinks it’s a good idea to scrap benefits.

    Actually Albert, I was thinking of something like “The Beaufort Scale”, only not for wind. Ummm. The Kaiser Chiefs Scale?

    That’ll do for now, until I can think of a serial piker to name it after.

    When I was a small Charles Exford, we used to drink our free school milk with the aid of straws. I therefore conclude that mildenhalljohn is a donkey-felching cockwomble.

    Er, how? What???

    My head hurts from reading that. Fucking mildenhalljohn, the head-hurting bastard.

  11. on 11 Aug 2010 at 12:44 pm Dean Cramvoid

    From the mildenhalljohn guide to child-rearing, page 175, the proper administration of milk:
    1) Tie the child to a chair, ensuring that its head is retained in a tilted-back attitude.
    2) Shove a funnel in its mouth.
    3) Pour milk into the funnel.
    4) Encourage the child, by shouting Drink! Drink! Drink it all!!! Swallow it now, you ungrateful little bastard!!!
    5) If you find this all a bit over-exciting, you may want to add a little “special milk” of your own to the funnel.
    6) Remove the funnel, and make sure the child thanks you politely before you untie it from the chair.

    Total supervision is the only way.

    Less revoltingly, I’d also like to recommend the new people’s poet.

    The issue of milk is to children under the age of 5.

    Main Entry: is·sue

    : a discharge from the body
    (Merriam-Webster Online Dictionary)

    The fact that he’s so quick to allude to milk’s glandular source surely betrays his secret plan to have primary school teachers breastfeed their pupils. Perhaps he’s a school caretaker hoping to assume health & safety inspection duties for such activities.

    Oh no. The phrase ‘Thatcher, Thatcher milk snatcher’ has just popped into my head but it now has taken on a different light and I feel quite ill. Bastard mildenhalljohn.

    2) Shove a funnel in its mouth.

    @Dean Cramvoid
    The mouth? You’re living in la-la-land mate. Have you ever seen a 5-year-old shut up for more than a few seconds? No, it’s got to be through the nostrils, or, failing that, pull its oesophagus out of its armpit and connect to a tube externally.

    Thanks for that; if I was a (supervised) 5 year old my milk would be all over the screen right now.

    As it is I’ve only blown a gram of coke into the keyboard.

    You know, I think he might just be. My son threw some of his spaghetti hoops on the floor the other day, so by mildenhalljohn’s logic I should perhaps just accept that eating really isn’t his thing

    Judging from his comment we can’t really rule it out. Well, to be honest I’m surprised he had the faculties to actually type that comment and post it, never mind grasp the basics of the education system.

    Mildenhalljohn’s got a point, guys. My 22 month old does sod all for himself and he’s crap in a Battle Royale situation. I blame the nanny state for his inability to ruthlessly murder other children or drink a glass of milk without spilling some.

    Ahh, apart from his aversion to SYB, reflector2 is just another tedious tit-box, with little to offer. I do like this though, discussing teen pregancy and the NANNY STATE:

    Also the lack of morality and being looked after by the state. In Holland apparently (which has the lowest teen pregnancy rate in Europe) Ant teenager who gets pregnant is required to be looked after by the teen’s parents NOT by the state. I wonder if that has something to do with it?

    Actually, reflector2, I’m pretty sure that’s the same here. I’m part of the Ant Respect Lefty Organisation, and I’ve been campaigning to stop discrimination against Ants (especially pregnant teenage Ants) for a number of months now. But you know what? The Con-Dem government ignores me! I’ve written all about it on HYS and everything, but not one pays any fucking attention. No one thinks about the ants. Now think of it.

    Search turns up no hits for reflector2, reflector1 or even just reflector on here. So no clues there…

    The claim that “UFO’s” do not exist but that Unidentified Flying Objects do shows a poor grasp of logic and language. So no clues there…

    This site could be said to be a bottom-feeder within the general ecology of the net in that it digests the shit produced by bigger sites. But that’s not quite the same as being sycophantic. We could take this as a signature mistake. Search SYB for ‘sycophant’. You might be pleased with the results.

  39. on 12 Aug 2010 at 6:38 pm Jim

    He is completely right though. Under 5s shouldn’t get free milk because unsupervised they might spill some.

    Similarly, I don’t think babies should be offered free vaccinations. Have you ever seen an unsupervised baby try to self-administer a vaccination? It doesn’t work. Come to think of it, most people (under or over 5) can’t self-perform surgery either. Hmm, maybe we should just disband the NHS.
