But start sleeping naked now!
I've heard too many furs here saying "how come no one ever told me how wonderful it is sleeping naked?"...so I'm tellin' everyone!
And everyone who comes back through that StarGate!
Have done so since I was 5...
It's that silly
Well... The dinosaurs were still roaming the earth in herds, and...
Actually, it was just a logical progression... To 'survive' a hot Australian summer, you used to either use really lightweight PJs, just your undies, or plain starkers.
Since I was always hot (my body temp is above average, hence I never get cold), I just never got the 'prompt' to move back into pyjamas like everyone else did.
Besides, it's so much comfier!
Not just Wolfgang...I have seen other commentors and another journal...hence the announcement! :D
"Plain starkers" - gawd I love the way you Aussies put things! I gotta use that one!
You Ozzies have a sexy, Clockwork Orangeish way of manipulating the Mother Tongue into such delicious phrases!
When I visited, I brought back with me what seemed like the national phrase: "No worries!"
That phrase really made me think and examine some things. Our phrase is "No problem"...which implies there could be a problem, or that there is one but being too polite to actively acknowledge it so there's this passive-agressive phrase instead.
"No worries" does not imply anything, except confidence in the future outcome. I learned its real meaning when leaving Kangaroo Island. My good friend and I had foolishly brough all our luggage with us on the six-seat plane on the way there. On the way back, the plane was full of people and luggage (and he and I are rather fat) and the plane was overweight and not enough room for our luggage. Anywhere else in the world we would have have to jettison something(s). But on Kangaroo Island it was "No worries, mate!" Somehow everyone and all our luggage made it back to Adelaide!
Kevin was on K.I. and I didn't know about it?!
If you're ever back there for some reason, you'd damned well better let me know! I'll drive over if I have to! *shakes paws*
{And yes, there's a ferry, so I can drive over! I did it a couple of years ago, in fact!}
"No Worries," has evolved a little over the years; It's more often said as "No Fucking Worries," which spoonerism turned into "No Wucking Forries."
And, of course, now many of us like to think of it as "No Wucking Furries!"
The younger generation seem to not be using as many Australianisms as previous generations, though. My favourite sayings get some strange looks!
My favourite (I use it regularly):
"You're rooting (screwing) this cat, I'm just holding its tail!" (Don't ask me, I'm watching!)
"He's all over the road/place like a mad woman's shit!" (Driving erratically)
"It's like pushing shit uphill with a pointy stick!" (Ever tried it? It's not easy!)
"Like a sparrow farting against a hurricane." (Not very effective...)
"I'm so hungry I could chew the crotch out of a low-flying vulture." (Self explanatory)
or "I could eat the arse out of a rag doll through a cane chair"
"Further behind than a Python's arsehole" (Self explanatory)
"He's an ankle!" (3 foot lower than a c*nt)
"With patience and persistence you could fuck a blacksnakes infested arshole." (Anything is possible!)
"Fits like a bum in a bucket/like a prick in a shirt sleeve" (Good fit or too loose respectively)
And a couple that furries would love:
"It's hotter than a half fucked fox in a forest fire!" and
"Go pull a cow's c*nt over your head and get a bull to fuck some sense into you"
*hugs*
"It's like pushing shit uphill with a pointy stick!" (Ever tried it? It's not easy!)
Well...yes...something very very similar.
And I'm not sure that details of the latter would be a good thing...
I might be The Nice One™, but that doesn't mean I pass up a little blackmail ammunition every now & then!
... Unfortunately, nothing usable for blackmail there - just a shitty story...
You...you are as bad as my brother!
Most little kids get physically beaten up by their older brothers. Mine told me puns! When our whole family got together it was like a giant pun-fest - survival of the wittyest!
If puns bring back memories of traumatic events like that, you'd better -Watch me & add me to your Ban/Ignore filter, quickly, before it's too late!
I haven't even gotten started yet!
That was about age 5...American Indians were a big thing for me at that age and so was my sandbox...so I took a sand bucket, put it over my head...walked up to my older brother, raised my hand in the air as if taking an oath, and said:
"How. Me pail-face."
Lemme guess... He kicked the bucket?
Except on the days I wear pajama pants out of the shower.
I used to sleep with only a shirt but having long, thick hair makes me wake up with a sweaty neck so I had to stop.
(I shower at night, not when I wake up, a habit from back when I had to go to school early in the morning.)
I get it now!
>.>
-dives under yer desk-
And I wake up real ornery if I have to wear socks all night and they've carved deep grooves in my ankles...
I live alone and only my plushies - and everyone two blocks away whose windows face east - can see me all naked.
