I'm using The Sun's report because it says both "conkfidence" and "conk-quering".
No, it's not cocaine.
I can't believe this would ever be legal. Society would break down!

I am trying to think of a clever analogy to describe the absurdity of fancying shy boys.

Gravy is always a good ice-breaker.
― Alba, Monday, 16 July 2007 12:13 (eighteen years ago)
"Gravy with that?" "Ooh no, I'm vegetarian and shy" "It's your lucky day!"
― Alba, Monday, 16 July 2007 12:14 (eighteen years ago)
Are you saying that us poor boys who can't afford the spray can just sniff gravy instead?

The crush neurotransmitter! I've been saying this for years.
― Masonic Boom, Monday, 16 July 2007 12:23 (eighteen years ago)

Hooray, a fantastic new wonder drug that lets the kids who stopped talking because they were laughing stocks in school forget that people are jerks for long enough to make themselves laughing stocks again.
