Ah. Well fortunately, I used information obtained from the "Rrrrrrummmmble!!!!!!" thread and not the "Rrrrruuummmble!!!!" thread, and therefore you have no case against me.

Wombat · Post by **Wombat** » Tue Jan 21, 2003 11:26 pm

Wow! I think we're about to have a meta-rrrumble. It's so hard to focus with all this gratuitous violence going on. I'm not sure whether to attack with my war pipes or my recipe for bad-assed goulash.

If everyone in your little rrruummmbbblle had not been fired, I would go off and join in support of Stout! (Even if he doesn't exist.)

Um, ChrisL's defence invokes the principles of intellectual property.

Anyone wondering about the liberal application of the word intellectual?

PS I've been waiting for someone to start to Rhumba, personally.

We need a haiku rumble. Or a rumble haiku. When my daughter was a baby she used to wear these plastic diaper covers with ruffles called "rhumba pants". I'm just rambling, or rumbling...

Fantastic !
The Rrumbler's Digest on-line!

Avanutria, thank you for saving our precious time, but... ain't you supposed to sort out your socks and whistles so as to make your backpack lighter?

avanutria · Post by **avanutria** » Wed Jan 22, 2003 7:19 am

Nonsense - the socks and the whistles are the priority items!

Besides, I don't have a backpack yet, so it's as light as it will ever be.

Well done Avanutria! Outstanding "Beth Notes".
