PhDs Dumb You Down: Evidence
1. Recent conversation at the Botanic Gardens:
Me: So I’m thinking of making a pay-per-view website called MangyRandyPigeons.com.
Dr. Beloved: Really? What about SkankyAnimals.com? Then you could include that ibis over there (points to ibis with broken wing and bald patch on its neck who has clearly just eaten 12 cold chips, a kid’s sandwich stolen directly out of said kid’s hand, and the dregs of a Fruit Box, including the Box).
Me: Yeah! And that seagull (points to seagull that is squawking threateningly at all the other seagulls who are gathered around the 13th cold chip). I bet that’s the bastard seagull.
Dr. Beloved: Yeah totes. The one that everyone hates but secretly relies on to secure food.
Me: Yeah totes.
2. Habit of breaking into an Afrikaner accent at any given moment, e.g. at the greengrocer last night: “Ahll hev twoh ohv those bleck begs for the tomawhthoes thenkhyouh. When I mek a pawhsta sauwhce I don’t do it by hawhlves”. This habit arose after reading a recent article by John Safran, where he notes that the current popularity of a Zionist in certain quarters rates somewhere below a combination of an 80’s Afrikaner and a 90’s Serb.
More to come.
ahhh you’re making a fine fine ‘volition’ replacement already mang.
totes.

i’d better put a swear word in here so that this comment doesnt appear before the 2 before it.

and zucchini deflower naked granny fest diet pills to you too, sister.
sorry about the moderation donkey fountain issue. perhaps it was the elongation of vowels in your first post. akismet (spam catcher) is awfully straight like that.
