The Limey Strikes Back
Posted by Frank J. at 10:08 AM | View blog reactions | Comments (48)

I just got an e-mail back from the limey. I'm a bit busy, so I don't know if I'll be able to get a response out today, but I'll try.

Anyway, he's a slow learner. Heh heh.

dude! do they even grow limes in England? wouldn't think so since it's like what...25000 years since god has graced that country with a 2-inch patch of sunlight. jk. england ain't bad...but i need sunlight and anything that close to hell(anywhere they speak french) makes me edgy.

Blimy! The Limey is back? Maybe it can become a weekly segment, co-host or something. Just tell him is a little tosser.

#3 - Posted by: Monster Kabasue on February 27, 2004 10:33 AM

Heh, discovered the site yesterday. Absolutely hilarious.

Stupid limeys. **tosses the limeys to the CESM's** Heheh, that should teach them to mess with the all-powerful...

#4 - Posted by: n00b on February 27, 2004 10:38 AM

Did you ever find out what the hell a limey is, exactly?

#5 - Posted by: n00b on February 27, 2004 10:39 AM

I've heard that if you say "bugger off, you bloody sod", that really ticks them off. I learned it in a movie and when I repeated it too a British student at church he really blushed. I think there's something to it.

#6 - Posted by: jonag on February 27, 2004 10:42 AM

I think you're in danger of spending a lot of time talking about how much you don't care about limeys. But then you don't care what I think.

Anyway, I didn't think you called us "limeys" any more. I thought you called us "Monicas" (or is that just Tony's nickname?)

#7 - Posted by: Bugbear on February 27, 2004 10:52 AM

And as I'm from Northern Ireland and not England, when an American says "Bugger off, you bloody sod" I usually respond with "Have you ever tried to pick your teeth up with broken fingers?" Or "I'm a moslem. Booh!" Then they run away, lock themselves in their hotel rooms and talk about their guns until they have tiny little erections.

#8 - Posted by: Bugbear on February 27, 2004 10:59 AM

Monster, I like that idea!

"Straight, gun-owning eye for the limey guy." Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket!

#9 - Posted by: Casey Tompkins on February 27, 2004 11:01 AM

A shame things went sour there at the end, Bugbear. I thought the Muslim joke was pretty clever. I didn't much care for implying that my guns have tiny erections, though.

#10 - Posted by: Macbeth on February 27, 2004 11:01 AM

Bugbear, you've obviously never been to Kentucky... :)

While you might, just might manage one Kentuckian, everyone else in town is going to jump on your head as well, so you might as well lie down and get it over with now.

And they use Muslims for target practice down there; I hear kids fly really high out of the trap thrower!

We here in Ohio are much nicer. We'll just smack the crap out of you with a baseball bat. Now you know why baseball is the "national pastime" of America. Try hitting someone with a soccer* ball. :)

But it's a base canard that Kentuckians go to family reunions to meet women...

Casey


*Yes, I know, over the pond it's really football. I'm a Merkin, ok? Heh.

#11 - Posted by: Casey Tompkins on February 27, 2004 11:11 AM

Adam, sorry you are from Utah. you have my deepest sympathies

#12 - Posted by: Cavtrooper on February 27, 2004 11:31 AM

No, no, it's not the guns that have tiny erections, it's, oh, that steel plate again....

Anyway, what the fuck am I doing sticking up for the English? I need a drink.

#13 - Posted by: Bugbear on February 27, 2004 11:36 AM

After all the money we've (the US) pumped into Sinn Fein I'm surprised you're still around, Bugbear. Or did you flee to the US to 'hide under their noses'?

#14 - Posted by: El Jefe on February 27, 2004 11:37 AM

"Football"?!?? No, it's soccer. Which, by the way, is a fine sport for little kids and recreation leagues, but is not, repeat NOT a spectator sport, and never will be in this country, until the (insert insulting name for the fut-bol playing world here) figures out a few things about it. Basically, what is needed is:

1) TV timeouts. How can this "sport" be capitalized on by a capitalist society without TV timeouts? The little logo below the score & clock thing doesn't do it. We need:

2) TV timeouts. Without them, when can I go pee and get another beer? We really need

3) TV timeouts. If the last 4 minutes of game time doesn't take at least 20 minutes real-time, there's definitely not enough suspense or drama. Besides, that "injury time" and the ref having the clock on the field is a bunch of BS.

4) did I mention TV timeouts? Two words: beer-commercial chicks. (okay, maybe it's three, but they're hyphenated)

Try adding those to the game, and then we'll consider watching, even if we think the gay ref uses a yellow card instead of a black book for getting the players' numbers, to go out after the game.

#15 - Posted by: Maddog on February 27, 2004 11:43 AM

What's all this "and your sport sucks, loser" bullshit about? I don't like "soccer" either. (Mainly because Northern Ireland have only scored one goal in fifteen games.) What we call "American football"'s okay, I suppose, it's just that with all that protection I don't understand why they don't just climb into a Chevy each and drive at each other. Now rugby, there's a REAL sport. And we have the paraplegic ex-rugby stars to prove it.

#16 - Posted by: Bugbear on February 27, 2004 12:37 PM

Places like Kentucky are an exception for picking fights. If you hit one person in town, it's extremely probable that everyone else in town is related (by multiple paths of relation.)
If I need to pick a fight with someone from elsewhere, I usually just point out which foreigner (a person from another country or state) said something ethnic about them and let the fight commence elsewhere.

#17 - Posted by: LibertyBob on February 27, 2004 12:44 PM

"why they don't just climb into a Chevy each and drive at each other"

Ah, product placement! NOW you're getting the idea!

#18 - Posted by: Maddog on February 27, 2004 12:58 PM

Bugbear,
Some of those guys in "American football" are as big as a Chevy, and definetly have better acceleration.

#19 - Posted by: Brass on February 27, 2004 01:14 PM

Forgive my ignorance, but isn't "Bugger" or "Buggering" the English equivalent of the "F" word? No, not the word 'Frank!' people.... the other 'f' word, you know, mano a'.. uh, womano.

I.E: wax or hug.

Someone, please tell me.

#20 - Posted by: LokiDoki on February 27, 2004 01:21 PM

So how closely are they related in Kentucky, Bob? I mean, if they're like twins you could probably hit one and all the others would fall down and get a bruise. And then you'd win. Cool. It's a concept I can understand. I think I mentioned "Norfolk" to you before. ("Deliverance" without the coordination to play the banjo.)

I have to go now. I went to the supermarket and got beer but no food. I'm in trouble when she gets home. I should get a job.

#21 - Posted by: Bugbear on February 27, 2004 01:35 PM

Who'd have thought you'd have an English muffin AND Lucky the Leprechaun both write in? What next, Harry the Haggis?

#22 - Posted by: RottsoRuck on February 27, 2004 01:44 PM

English people rule!!....a crappy little island...Haaaa!!!!

#23 - Posted by: harry the haggis on February 27, 2004 01:51 PM

And which one am I, "Rottsoruck"? Or as we like to call you, "Twatface"?

#24 - Posted by: Bugbear on February 27, 2004 01:57 PM

Little secret there Bug, Rugby players wear pads too. Also, they don't hit each other as hard. We have quadrpalegic football players as well unfortunately, though that's definetely not something we boast about.

Anyway too reiiterate:
Rugby players wear pads too.
Football players collide at much higher speeds, and therefore hit harder (so regardless of the pads serious physical damage can be done, watch any football game, there's at least one injury per game)

#25 - Posted by: Bugbear on February 27, 2004 02:10 PM

HTH:

One would assume that your haggis-ness is... well, rather "waxed" Haggis is scottish, while english-ness is... well, english. Scottish and english.... tend to occupy different parts of the "crappy little island," Much like the North and the South in the US. I lived in the south once.... well, twice if you count texas.... it was hot.... you know what else is hot? africa. I've never been there, but I can assume.... Heh... makes an ass out of u and me.... heheheh... speaking of asses, donkeys are weird... maybe thats why the democrats chose them... why do the democrats want to be so much like england????

#26 - Posted by: harry the SCOTTISH haggis (not the same person as harry the haggis) on February 27, 2004 02:14 PM

england is near scotland.... scottish people eat haggis, I think thats pretty near mad.... What was I talking about again?

#27 - Posted by: harry the SCOTTISH haggis (not the same person as harry the haggis) on February 27, 2004 02:17 PM

i just hate it when thoughtful, evocative discussions turn into name-calling contests. Unless, of course, it involves France or monkeys. Then everything is fair game.
p.s.
bugbear:
i just checked my 12 gauge and my 9mm, and neither of them have penises, therefore, no erections, little or otherwise.
Hey, can we say "erection" or "penis" on this site?
Frank J, what about it?

#28 - Posted by: mikey on February 27, 2004 02:19 PM

Can you not recognize yourself? Or are you just overwhelmed with your stench and that of your bathing-optional countrymen?

Grammar, grammar, Lucky. Periods and question marks INSIDE the quotation marks, and question marks only come at the end of questions, not statements. I understand that you are easily confused, but please, don't trash up Frank's house.

#29 - Posted by: RottsoRuck on February 27, 2004 02:19 PM

Mikey,

Good points. Neither my 12 gauge, nor my 30.06, or my 9 mm or .45 have penises, but three of my four rottweilers do. Number four is my evil alpha bitch who would love to meet Chomps.

#30 - Posted by: RottsoRuck on February 27, 2004 02:23 PM

Ohhhhh! I hate it when it gets to this. Bye Rottso. I'm just going off to get laid, which is something you will never experience without money changing hands. Have a really nice weekend.

And somebody else is Bugbear. That's cute.

#31 - Posted by: Bugbear on February 27, 2004 02:26 PM

Ooooh, what a scathing flame of virility, Bugger. So sorry you are leaving. Have fun at your mother's, or with Mr. Hand! And you are right about money changing hands. The wedding ceremony was expensive and so is marriage.

#32 - Posted by: RottsoRuck on February 27, 2004 02:35 PM

Mikey - I think if you hold the gun out in front of you, then move your gaze from the "muzzle" down towards the "stock" you'll find a pair of hands. Attached to the hands is a "penis" or "American" in the Old Tongue. Anyway, fuck the lot of you, I'm going to get drunk.

#33 - Posted by: Bugbear on February 27, 2004 02:39 PM

I have successfully returned from my gun buying trip, with a brand spankin ass new H&K USP .45 TACTICAL. oooh, i love .45s!!!! can you say sound suppressor in the near future???

#34 - Posted by: Cavtrooper on February 27, 2004 02:56 PM

You need to say something about him being an ex-con...then he would be a crimey limey

#35 - Posted by: PumpkinHead on February 27, 2004 03:00 PM

Or a crackhead, then he could be a Dimey Limey

#36 - Posted by: RottsoRuck on February 27, 2004 03:01 PM

Or dirty, then he would be a Grimey Limey

#37 - Posted by: PumpkinHead on February 27, 2004 03:05 PM

Or a Marcel Marceau Francophile, then he'd be a Mimey Limey

#38 - Posted by: RottsoRuck on February 27, 2004 03:11 PM

You know with all this talk about weapons having "little erections", I guess I have to say my curiosity got the better of me... I decided it was time to clean and oil my weapons (they've been neglected for a couple of months afterall) and do you know it's the strangest thing...

My Winchester .30-30 does indeed have a "little erection" - When the chamber is loaded and the hammer cocked-back ready to fire, the strikepin sits erect, ready to drill firing pin into primer. Whaddaya know, a "little erection!"

Now that I look at it, my Kimber .45 does the same thing...and my Beretta 92F too, once you dis-engage the safety...and my Walther PPK/S...and even my Dad's old Ruger .357 Blackhawk.

The Glock .40 and old Ithaca 12GA pump don't have "little erections" however -- so I wonder... Does that makes them "bitches"? (Certainly a real bitch to answer to in my dark living room.) And just how does a limey see the "little erection" on my weapon when he's looking down the muzzle?

#39 - Posted by: Rubber(Red)neck on February 27, 2004 03:21 PM

You must be so happy.

#40 - Posted by: Bugbear on February 27, 2004 03:22 PM

This brings a tear to my eye. God, I love America!

#41 - Posted by: RottsoRuck on February 27, 2004 03:29 PM

Proud, too. And of course, being from Alabama, I won't have to worry about "picking up my teeth" now, will I Bugger?

#42 - Posted by: Rubber(Red)neck on February 27, 2004 04:28 PM

Hey Rubber,

What about my S&W 5906 9mm, HK USP Compact .40 S&W and Dan Wesson .357 - the hammers on all of the above have no strike pin erection (flat strike hammer) but they have something hanging. Is it a lack of sexual drive or do they just not see an inviting target? Maybe they just need Levitra, Cialis, or Viagra (they do make that for handguns, don't they?)

Ah screw this - my new golf clubs just arrived. I'm outtahere.

#43 - Posted by: sleeper on February 27, 2004 04:40 PM

What I love about this site is that whenever the french, scott, british, and german fog, pinheads, retards, freaks, come here they bitch about our guns. Now I know iam a little rusty on histroy, but didn't once, no, twice we Americans with all our guns came to your god dammed country and saved your ass? I mean really people wonder why france surrenders so much, well duh, if you got laws against guns, and your army gets its ass handed to it, who the hell is gonna fight invaders. Well here in the good old, God blessed, Gun touting USA we have the NRA and militia, mobs, gangs, angry high school kids, and Texans to fight is our whup ass Army ever needs some back up, not like thats ever happened in 192 years.

#44 - Posted by: Angry Texan on February 27, 2004 05:51 PM

Speaking as an American gun-lovin' rugger, we don't usually wear pads. You wear pads to protect existing injuries. Other than that, they're not really worn. In most cases, the laws of the game forbid them.

In Football, of course, they're required. We hit every bit as hard as they do in football - we just hit with more skill and don't lead with our heads.

#45 - Posted by: Orion on February 27, 2004 06:17 PM

Tho I'm sure you guys (and girls) all know this, not all Brits are as asshole-esque on topics like guns, foreign policy etc etc....ah fuck it I'm emigrating in a few years - just wish Uni would finish quicker...

#46 - Posted by: Brit_Student on February 27, 2004 06:23 PM

Brit_Student:
I knew that. I know a lot of decent Brits. The problem is that they aren`t the ones we get to hear about.
Now a bit of trivia:
It wasn`t just citrus (limes, lemons, oranges, etc) that could prevent scurvy. They had the answer all along and didn`t know it. Citrus is perishable and didn`t last long. People in those days had the habit of washing the husks off of rice. They eventually discovered that if you didn`t do that and ate the husks it also prevented scurvy. Rice isn`t perishable like citrus. I think it was a Limey who discovered that important bit of information.

#47 - Posted by: joatmoaf on February 28, 2004 02:27 PM

im from kentucky you need to quit bashin us. not everyone is related to everyone in kentucky. only if you go east into the mountains then you will find some insest. im related to 6 people in this town apart from my mom and dad so STFU all of you, you dont know wtf you talking about
