Althouse: "I haven't been out to check on him for five hours but I went outside for a fag and he's gone."

December 3, 2010

"I haven't been out to check on him for five hours but I went outside for a fag and he's gone."

A woman in the UK calls the police to report the theft of her snowman. And she's a smoker.

I can just hear Eric Idle doing a little old lady voice, saying, "It ain't a nice road but at the end of the day, you don't expect someone to nick your snowman, you know what I mean?"

Leland said...: I bet the snowman figured it was hot, so it decided it better run and play. I'd suggest checking the village. Also, is she perhaps missing a broomstick?

If someone spots him, yell "Stop".; 12/3/10, 8:49 AM

In some places, they obviously still do! Otherwise, the woman would have been remanded to her local council for sensitivity training.; 12/3/10, 8:49 AM
AllenS said...: Clyde,

I was watching football yesterday, or a couple of days ago, and the back of one young man's jersey said "GAY". As in his last name. Think he ever got any shit over that growing up?

You light up a fag
You look at your lawn
And your snowman's gone

Too funny
Too, too funny
Too funny
Too, too funny...

sonicfrog said...: Maybe the snowman was gay, is the "fag" she's refering to, and ran away from her. She's just bloody pissed 'cause she wanted some hot snowman love!.; 12/3/10, 10:37 AM

I remember when fag and gay meant something totally different than today.

Before the Lefties took it over.

Isn't that a bit of a stretch?

gay as an adjective meaning “homosexual” goes back at least to the early 1900s; 12/3/10, 11:17 AM

Good thing the words "boring" "predictable" "commenters" still mean the same thing they did back in the good ol' days. You know, back when we called people Sodomites and could beat the shit out of them with impunity.; 12/3/10, 12:55 PM

He undoubtedly has world-class streetfighting skills. As in A Boy Named Sue.
