Welcome to yet another new forum

[Your Mom]

Hey folks,

welcome to Your Mom's place.

Everyone is welcome here (except Kal and Joshua Flynn; that'll do for starters  ) and  I hope to see old faces, but new ones as well; I'm not looking for a circle jerk

I want you all to have fun above everything else and there will be no heavy handed moderating here, but doxxing, posting of PI and wanton hate will not be tolerated here, save that for AE.

This place will certainly be slow at first and maybe it'll pick up. If not, no biggie.

As I am new to this, I'm gonna make many fuck ups, but you get that; I'm learning as I go.


*ETA* It's now open to guests; let's see how that goes.

[Professor Higgins]

Thanks for the invitation Mom. I wish you every success with your new venture.

[Your Mom]

Great to see you here. You'll get to meet Zippy and Troller as they've just signed, but, for fuck's sake don't take them seriously, not that I should have to warn you, but you'll see.

[Zero Point]

I'm a very serious person, what the fuck are you on about?

[Your Mom]

Sorry, I mistook you for the bogan king!

[Zero Point]

You must enter a message when posting.

[Holly Golightly]

No wanton hate but you let Zippy in? :chuckle:

[Your Mom]

He's not hateful, just uncouth.

Welcome Holly. I reckon you'd get on well with Professor Higgins, judging by his Av.

[Holly Golightly]

Who is Professor Higgins? A sock, or someone actually new to these forums?

He's a newby who I managed to lure into the sordid world of forums. He's another English teacher and, believe me, the soubriquet is very appropriate.

[Troller Durden]

The poor man has no idea what he is in for.

[Your Mom]

The poor man has no idea what he is in for.

Yeah, I know

Hey, it's not like we're proxywhores or something.

[Holly Golightly]

English Teacher, eh? Then he must be familiar with this old joke:

The Right Way to Spell Potato

If GH can stand for P as in Hiccough
If OUGH stands for O as in Dough
If PHTH stands for T as in Phthisis
If EIGH stands for A as in Neighbour
If TTE stands for T as in Gazette
If EAU stands for O as in Plateau
Then the right way to spell POTATO should be: GHOUGHPHTHEIGHTTEEAU

As an English teacher, I've never seen it, but I like it. Teaching ough pronunciations is great fun.

Let's see what he says when he returns.

[CalmShock]

Thanks for the invite mum

I don't post much on forums anymore but I'll stop by from time to time to impart some brevity. Good luck with the new venture

Hey CalmShock, great to see you. Thanks for dropping by;

[Professor Higgins]

Great to see you here. You'll get to meet Zippy and Troller as they've just signed, but, for fuck's sake don't take them seriously, not that I should have to warn you, but you'll see.

So I assume zippy is Zero Points and both he and Troller Durden are Australians, right?

I must have told you that I had an Australian girlfriend in London. I learnt a lot about them from her and her friends so I know how to take them.

Pleased to meet you, Holly.
I had to look up sock; Your Mom is right, I'm completely new to forums and I feel like I've arrived at a party and everyone knows everyone else except me so forgive me if I seem like a bit of a wall flower for a while as I get to know everyone (all 5 other members).
I haven't heard of this joke before either, but I'm definitely going to steal it.

I use the following video for listening practice with my students and to demonstrate the difficulties with the ough pronunciations:

[Troller Durden]

Im not Australian Higgins, Im from a medium sized socialist country called California.

But currently incarcerated in Texas due to overwhelming cosmic forces of feminine persuasion.

Only 9 more years of child support and I should be able to tunnel my way out. LOL

[aussie]

Thanks for letting me join the forum.

[Your Mom]

Thanks for letting me join the forum.

Fuck! You're too polite. I want to slap you. Unfortunately, I'm too far away; watch out for Zippy or Baldrick or dah dah duh, Oh bother.

It's funny, I was just thinking about you as you posted as I was  finishing writing a unique recipe at the time.

Welcome, fake aussie.

[aussie]

I just answered your recipe OMG!!!! Awesome!! I need you to cook for me. Please never hit someone who is get in touch with their feminine side. I can not help that I love you and Zip and yes, Troller.

Deary, if it seems I bash, you have failed to understand. I was serious once; I think it was 1979! FFS, I'm a chef! How much more in touch with my feminine side can I be?
