my parents don't let me keep pets

(yes I still live with my family - it's an Asian thing)

lmao at the rocky video :laughing:

Definitly man I totally agree. It's a natural part of a dog's life, especially big dog's because a lot of the time they're too big to roughhouse with the other dogs. If you want something placant get a fish lol dogs need exercise and competition or else they get rowdy - those horizontal planks across the back fence are for a hole he smashed through because he was left alone and got bored

I have a really tasteless joke for why you can't keep pets... but I will refrain.

Oh wait, this is Il Duce.
It may not be a joke.

i think he meant he has a joke not that I'm joking

of course I'm serious, i had a black cat called "Lucifer" and she was extremely naughty, scratching my speakers and harassing my visiting aunt - my dad just dumped her at the wet market

Yea i have gotten that as well. Someone will be like "You treat your dog like crap, dont you care?" My response is clearly you dont own a dog thats the size of a human, they play a little different.

My favorite part is that I also just got a little kitty that weighs around 10 pounds so going from petting one to another is hard. I have almost knocked my kitty out because I am so used to petting this behemoth.

I have a schutzhund trained German shepherd. He gets to beat the crap out of people as a job, and loves every second. To him, it's just a big game of tug.

...yet somehow he's terrified of little yappy Boston terriers.

I say go for it!

I don't see why your parents are opposed to you keeping pets, wouldn't they like to have something as a back up dinner from time to time?

Two days late, but hey, I like this piece of information:

Basically, Alcohol and (many, if not all) drugs are processed by your body in the Liver, as some of you will probably know for alcohol at least :P When you take antibiotics, and drink, it a) means that the two mix in your liver, which is bad news for some but not all drugs (some react with alcohol and cause problems, others do nothing really) and b) means that your liver is working double time trying to deal with both the alcohol and the drugs in your system, which is why you get the effect of being Trolleyed after one or two, as Keyliegh described.

Usually, doctors tend to be careful when it comes to that sort of thing though, in the sense that were it reallly dangerous for you to take alcohol with the drugs, you would have heard it five times before getting your hands on the prescription. You're probably safe drinking one or two, just so long as you don't go out and get totally smashed, but that's very much a personal, semi-informed opinion!

nah "wild aroma" (meat other than the usual) is not popular in Malaysia - you have to go into small villages for that and that's pretty racist, BTW

go suck on a watermelon

I know it's racist. I don't really believe that but I just wanted to make the joke that Freebase was too classy to make.

I will go suck on a watermelon whilst eating my fried chicken and getting high blood pressure and diabetes at the same time.

That's crap! I'm whiter than bird ****, and I LOVE fried chicken. Fried chicken is one of the greatest foods ever created. And hot sauce. I've never met a black person who eats hot sauce like I do. I love to put as much as I possibly can until I'm actually in physical pain. Habanero hot sauce is like sex. Mmmm...

That guy actually looks a bit like you!

I only eat Colonel Sanders'. I can't stand Popeye's or the "soul food" variety that blacks dig. I like their Cajun fries, though.

I think I just may!

I was thinking the same actually. His little goatee thing is even similar to mine.

I like to put earphones in without any music on. Not cos I'm pretending to listen to music or anything, it blocks out sound and makes my ears feel safe, helps me sleep lol

I'm so used to pausing the music when I take a fag break in the ofis and away from the PC, that I do it at home now, stopping the cassette or CD when I need a cig or be away from the PC even when I smoke in my room.

lol

HE PAUSES THE MUSIC TO TAKE A FAG BREAK

I'm not even supposed to smoke indoors so when I get a free house, I try to make the most of it, sit in my underwear, play loud music, watch porn loudly, smoke

what's a f*g break?

Cigarettes. He smokes them.

ah. ok. tnx.
geez, i need to buy me a book guide about english idioms. unable to understand english language to it's full extent is one of my little quirks too.

when I get bored at the office, I look for effeminate men downstairs who are virgins and deflower them

Hahaha, surprise sex right?

more like coercive sex

it's not an "idiom" - it's British slang

i think i better create a thread addressing my quirks about my english frustrations. like the essential when to use do/does, idioms, etc.

read more comics, watch more English movies undubbed, watch more English television, post here more

I wouldn't have been able to read Thomas Pynchon's Gravity's Rainbow were it not for exposure to the American vernacular on message boards - i'm only used to the British style of literature and found it near impenetrable

since we're on the topic, i remember one time when my teacher gave us an exam english conversation. here it goes:

teacher: Do you mind waiting?
me: ye's i'll wait.

and she gave me a failing grade for that specific answer alone. i was in grade 4 at that time and she was not able to correct me. what should have been the answer then if it was wrong? that's one of the most mind bugging puzzle that up to now i have no answer.

She was asking if it bothered you to wait. You answered "yes".

Speaking on the English language, my text twist score is over two mil and I haven't cheated.

the correct answer should have been

"No, I do not mind waiting"

haha! i see. ok, i get the point. i found a site that deals with grammar issues. i can't believe there's such a thing as "Filipinism", usual english talk used by Filipinos that are gramatically wrong in the real english word:

Filipinism (correct english)

I'll ask her an apology (I'll apologize to her)
Hand carry (carry on luggage)
At around 2pm (at about 2pm)
My brother is taking up law. (My brother is taking law)
I felt kind of tired (I felt rather tired)
I do apologize (I apologize)

wow. i wish i have known these things before.

I saw everything but the first and second. Last I checked I'm not Filipino.

Say, not saw.

here we have patois:-

gostan (go astern, reverse)
garment (government)
bank in the cheque (deposit a cheque)

and literal chinese/malay translations:-

don't play play (stop fooling around)
small gas (bad-tempered)
fly aeroplane (missed an appointment)

Small gas? I think I need to incorporate that into my everyday language.

hahaha! don't play play! grammar issues can sometimes be so funny.
i'll add more:

Come again? (I'm sorry would you please say that again?)
It's for free! (It's free of charge.)
Can I hold you for a minute? (Would you mind if I put you on hold for a minute?)
She delivered her baby yesterday (She had her baby yesterday)
Xerox (Photocopy)
It's traffic today. (Traffic is heavy)
We were under Mr. Johnson. (Mr. Johnson was our teacher)
Where are you studying? (Where do you go to school?)
We have one participant only. (We only have one participant)
I talk to her already (I already talked to her)
Wanted: Sewer (Wanted: Tailor or Seamstress)
Take home (To go)
Currently, I live in the Philippines right now. (I live in the Philippines)

That's not so bad, although it probably wouldn't fly here if you asked to hold a customer.

another idiom again! what you meant by "probably won't fly"?

Sorry. It wouldn't be okay.

I actually hate that phrase.
