Sorry for the long hiatus. Still don't have time for a proper update, but here's hoping this'll amuse until I do. Actually a conversation from a while back. And to anyone with taste who might be reading this, apologies in advance.
RW: Reading Enid Blyton when you're grown up is the funniest thing EVAR
RW: hang on, I'll quote a passage.
RW: Just looking for a good bit
Nick says: oh dear....
Nick says: lots of talk about sandwiches with tongue, Nestle's cream, and "let's go play by the ocean." "Yes, lets!"
RW: This isn't the funniest I've read, but it's still pretty bad:
RW: "The little girl hadn't got the right stroke, and George felt really proud when she had taught her. 'oh, thanks,' said Anne. 'I'll never be as good as you - but I'd like to be as good as the boys.'
Nick says: oh dear.
Nick says: The Famous Five, huh?
RW: Yep. Hilarious.
RW: I really need to grow up.
Nick says: lol
Nick says: that's funny as
RW: Oh, I've found a better one:
RW: "But if you like I'll come and lie down on George's bed instead of George tonight, and stay with you all night long,' said Julian."
RW: And there's a couple of really disturbing ones concerning George and Timmy, the dog.
Nick says: oh.
Nick says: wrong, wrong , wrong
RW: So. very. Wrong.
RW: I'm going to the bad place.
Nick says: i refuse to go to the bad place!
Nick says: .....again.
RW: Woah.
RW: "John took it and fingered it. 'It's a queer one,' he said, 'but better than mine."
Nick says: LOL
Nick says: LOL LOL LOL!
Nick says: HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
RW: This is so incredibly off!
RW: I've just found the one I was originally looking for. It's the worst one ever:
RW: 'Oh, Tim,' murmured George, half waking up as she felt him against her. 'Oh, Tim, you mustn't - but you do feel so nice.'
RW: I swear I'm not making this up.
Nick says: i believe you
RW: And... I'm spent.
RW: I laugh.
RW: pg 193. Must remember that.
Nick says: lol
RW: I felt so wrong reading this book. I couldn't help it! They put the words "Dick", "Queer" and "Gay" in one sentence! How do you NOT laugh at that?
Nick says: hahahahaah
Nick says: makes you wonder if they realised, huh?
RW: They can't have. I'm sure it's meant to be innocent.
RW: We're the sick ones, Nick.
RW: Face it.
Nick says: i know. it shames me to admit it, but we're as corrupt as...
Nick says: as...
Nick says: as...
Nick says: oh i can't find a simile.
RW: That's not good.
RW: Definitely not a good sign.
