*mimicked And is "annoying" a new euphemism for "hot"? - Bulletchewer, 2007-04-04: 14:33:00

Yikes!! Bulletchewer has a crush on the Olsens - Jabberwocky, 2007-04-05: 08:57:00

I must be twinsane eh? Now THIS is me ranting: Reckoning Freud (you know, that MAJOR contributor to psychology, like Goethe and his mate Kant ^^) would concur, while putting irritations about the Olsens down to sexual frustration/jealousy. Pity my attention seeking! - Bulletchewer, 2007-04-09: 05:39:00

I'm voting for you! Delusions make me believe that both of those co-habituations would make good scenarios for a sit-com. Bet someone's already done it... Wayne and Waynetta Slob (by Harry Enfield) comes to mind. - Bulletchewer, 2007-04-04: 14:38:00
