I have just been told that I am. Should I be worried?

Well, did they EXPECT you?

― Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 15:25 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm glad I got that answer in, cause it saves 10 other people from making the same joke!

― Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 15:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Fuckor - you beat me to it Kate.

― Alex K (Alex K), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 15:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Twice.

― Alex K (Alex K), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 15:26 (twenty-one years ago)

I am so quick on the draw. PH34R my typing!

I'm only trying to find out who made some chocolate brownies!

Were you trying to find out using thumbscrews and a rack (or indeed a comfy chair... xpost yadda yadda...)?

Dude, you are SO MUCH BETTER than the Inquisition if you're only after chocolate brownies, and not Jews, Moors, witches, heretics and protestants.

If only the Middle Ages had had that idea...

That's quite a big investigation you're setting yourself up for there Mark. Start with TV chefs I reckon, then move on to dope-heads.

my colleague had brought some in, along with some other cakes and someone complimented him on how tasty they were and he responded "Oh, I didn't make those!". Naturally I asked "Who did, then?" and he said "A friend".

"Was it a [insert my employer's name] friend?"

"No"

"Was it a special friend?"

It was at this point that the comment was made (ironically by one of my many Spanish colleagues).

― MarkH (MarkH), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 15:31 (twenty-one years ago)

What a show, MarkH. Here we go.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 15:37 (twenty-one years ago)

Your Spanish colleague wasn't Torquemada?

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 15:39 (twenty-one years ago)

Celebrate yourself. Fetch hither the comfy chair!

Are you worse than the inquisition?
Depends. What are your "four main weapons?"

― Lord Custos Omicron (Lord Custos Omicron), Thursday, 13 November 2003 03:14 (twenty-one years ago)

(I wonder how all those restless souls of the people killed by Torquemada feel about their plight being the subject of much jocularity because of a Monty Python Skit?)

Start selling tickets for the auto-da-fé.

― Skottie, Thursday, 13 November 2003 07:54 (twenty-one years ago)

"Oh that Mark, you can't Torquemada anything!"

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 13 November 2003 08:15 (twenty-one years ago)

sorry.

― Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 13 November 2003 08:16 (twenty-one years ago)

an ex once called my level of emotional availability as "r2d2 esque".

the real question is, did you find out who made the brownies?

― Emilymv (Emilymv), Thursday, 13 November 2003 08:24 (twenty-one years ago)

An auto-da-fé? What's an auto-da-fé?
It's what you oughtn't to do but you do anyway!

― Colin Meeder (Mert), Thursday, 13 November 2003 09:29 (twenty-one years ago)

Torquaymada - the much feared Devon inquisition.

tiddly pom, ahh.

― Mikey G (Mikey G), Thursday, 13 November 2003 10:52 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm glad someone else finally picked up my initial reference!
