** takes the spliff from Beldin, draws a deep breath and passes it back on ** @Beldin: naturally

@E-Man : Well, basically natural...

...

It could have been -
"The position where you're able to : "

Cuius testiculos habes, habeas cardia et cerebellum.

"When you have their full attention in your grip, their hearts and minds will follow."
BTW - 'Testiculos' does not quite translate as 'full attention'.

The correct version of the quote originates with Chuck Colson, one of Richard Nixon's Watergate henchmen. [/size]

I bookmarked the page already - thanks again, mate

. I just don't read the annotations for the books I haven't read yet... wouldn't want to get spoiled

Spoiling isn't the problem, but it helped me understand some of the more difficult puns on the english language..

Ode to a Grasshopper · Thu Sep 05, 2002 6:25 am

English can be a ***** that way, a lot of the puns Pratchett uses are a bit obscure as well.

Beldin · Post by **Beldin** » Thu Sep 05, 2002 6:49 am

DONE.

Now let's wait and see if any girl in this forum dares to follow my steps....

**downs his beer and gets up to move the dispenser closer to the bar**

**draws a pint from the dipenser**

I think the best question is... who is that guy behind you, and what is he doing?!?

So much for "Are you sure you can't hang out this weekend."

Nice to see you too.

Just so you know, Tammy says he'll be okay for next weekend if you are.

Just thought you might like to know.

No worries

I am indeed enjoying myself... although I'm running low on funds now, so I've got to find a job...

My apologies for not being able to drop by more often

Well, it's not like you miss much... some drinking here, some pot smoking there, yada yada yada...
