FORGET IT! We'd rather receive Kalle Schwensen, he's got quite the CHICKS on him! You just have A check! So, unless you're ready to man up, grow some weed below your nose, dim the orbit and tow some gorgeous tails, the Sphinx ain't letting you pass!πŸ˜ƒ

Perhaps I should read your post in that way and erase all the hieroglyphs you always put in, so that I can understand you better. And why are your posts always so late? Are you being vetted and if so, why?

The advantages of frivolity Dec 20, 2020

Doncha just love the expressions you learn on Tom's thread! Dim the orbit! Now there's one you don't hear every day! Not to mention towing tails! And I've heard of growing weed!, and in fact I did a bit of that a long time ago!, but I can't recall doing it below my nose!

And Kalle! Man, he sure has the chicks on him for sure! And the Sphinx is letting him pass! I told Kalle, I told him, Man! I said, man, you have the chicks on you, man! You're so towing the tails! Next thing we kno

Know what he said, Kalle? He said, You know what! Why does everything have an exclamation mark at the end! And I said Kalle, Kalle, you did it yourself, mein Freund! And Kalle, he said, When did I do it! And I said, Just now! In fact, you did it twice! And he said, But now you're doing it too! And I said, Yes, but those were exclamations, not questions, Kalle! Like that one! Do you understand! And Kalle said, That last one wasn't a question! And I said Hey man, just dim the orbit, will ya? Let that Sphinx pass!

... but because Kalle is also a multicultural person, you know, Reeperbahn and St. Pauli, with all the gangs being attracted from elsewhere outside of Germany and even outside Europe, he could also understand the phrase "Kalle, ya sadiki!", which means nearly the same. [Arab.: sadiki = friend, as can be found in other Arabian words, i.e. Sadek = the friendly person, etc.]

You need to go back and recheck with your friends! Sad[i]k[i] means my friend, correct, with 1) a swift e after the d, and 2) an e after the k to mean (my or mine); however, my Sadek is not the same as your intended Sadeek, where the former means honest and the latter means friend. In Arabic, the e is both pronounced and written after the d in friend, but only pronounced and never written after the d in honest. Now, are you paying for this class, or should I come to Kiel and release my full force?!!!!!!!!πŸ˜ƒ

BTB, I have a hot one for you, let me know what day you're celebrating Xmas, it will be my gift to you!πŸ˜ƒ But, pack enough tampons, this thread is NOT fluid-proof!πŸ˜πŸ˜‚πŸ˜πŸ˜‚πŸ˜πŸ˜‚

...I had to babysit my nephew (5 years old) and my brother left the favorite movie of his son just in case he wouldnΒ΄t get asleep after all. The movie was dealing with cars acting as characters, that can become alive and grow to monster cars, and the dialogues and the tone they spoke now remind me of the above quotes. I think the movie was called "Transformers from outer space" or similar, but I canΒ΄t remember. After ten minutes I took the DVD out of the player to reread the same books we have read before.

"You're making all the Americans now go "we said it once and we say it again, that German dude is *HI"!πŸ˜ƒ Decrypt this*, tootsy-wootsy!πŸ˜ƒ and !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"



You know, sometimes I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

No, seriously, I'll rephrase that:

Chill, dude. And, btw, we do have, and drink, beer. Whether it's alcohol-free or not is a matter of health-consciousness, and no one is telling you what kind of drink to have.

Can't, coz I'll probably have to pay like 5 times the price you pay for it. I'm telling you, you get away with everything for cheap prices, believe me.

And, here I'm reconfirming, if you don't tell me what day you'll be celebrating, I won't be posting my latest zinger and Xmas will pass without you getting a gift from me. Your loss!πŸ˜πŸ˜‚πŸ˜πŸ˜‚πŸ˜πŸ˜‚

...because, when assuming a price for a pint as much as USD 5,25 (which would be cheap here indeed, there you are right and sorry for exploiting you) and you read the price from right-to-left, as usual in your native language, and you pay it as such, then no wonder you pay 5 times the price I pay for it!

I assume you mean posting by postal mail. Okay, I'm not at home anyway and your parcel will then be dropped to my neighbours: They have lived their lives long enough and caused too much harm and I am covered by a very generous household insurance.
