a diplock trial is a funny thing. benchloads, splinter-assed, rhythmically pounding gavel, "ay, ay ay," and so on. you're, like, "ok, i get it, i'm hosed."
and so you are.
it was out of precisely this that the great circular wretching caper was conceived. the hose part, i mean, without which circular wretching, simply put, would not be. and without *clear* hoses, it would be shit as a spectator sport. honor system my ass.
none of us saw the full potential at first. we were young and full of undigested and partially digested foods. in those salad days, supple enuff to leave the funnels stacked in their neat, shiny tins. but then speed became our end-all, and as the bile raced faster, our watches -- huge canteen-style waterproof affairs that were read by *touch* -- slowed right down.
pretty soon we could put the whole lodge at a standstill!! slip out, have her, whatever. they asked us later at the inquest why we always came back and damned if i could say. damned if any of us could.
and that, children, is why every thread, to this very day, bears tomorrow's date.

hurley's fish are ALL spoiled.
He gives them table scraps.

He'll ruin them doing that
Scrapping his table and feeding the fish to destroy the evidence will never stand in a court of law!

I think you people are all on drugs.
I thought the blissium craze was a thing of the past but apparantly it's not.
I suspect that hurley has a stash.

Anticlockwise retching is best reserved for those more "social" of gatherings (hurley knows what I mean!!!). Course, sometime if an inappropriate appetiser has been selected by the Kaiser Chef you can end up with anti-anti clockwise (also known as a double reverse, or the Pittsburgh gambit).
Would I be right in thinking that this is only a third degree lodge of which you speak? because if it is, I'm not suprised that the enthusiasm was as warm as an uncle's embrace. Try that in a second degree or lodge (or even some Novotel's) and time can come to an ill-advised standstill. Well done!

"Water-proof affairs". Does this mean an end to the wet spot? Regardless, a worthy invention.

I think he misheard it, MSW. I'm pretty sure they said "What a poof."

Oh! Like an STD, lipstick on the collar, or an unwanted pregnancy.
