this thread is p much assigned to deems

i like that old picture of you and your girl

also, i hope you [edited b/c of source oopsie]. [redacted] in advance.

that is a clever thread title.

i have a finely balanced curiosity/dread of the second post however

fyi she's a reasonably catholic girl and rarely does anything in advance, so if that was your query you can just not bother

oh no no no nothing like that. it had to do with your upcoming plans, which i realized after the fact had been posted about on a secret bo/a/r/a/d.

the first part employed a verb, the word "fun," a preposition, and a place name. the second part included a tradional sandbox word that is commonly mispelled.

wisjes?

:-)

Yes that's a cracking picture, I'm a big fan

!

Ignoring that outrageous interruption its ok to note that im flying over oceans tomorrow and ty for the wisjes and yes it is a nice photo. I think thats everything.

what is that bugger cat's name

words obv. short, nasty ones come closest.

take yr pick

he/she got flung out the door at bedtime regardless of november and/or his/her feelings on the matter

! can a mod get that

i have this coworker who has only been with us a few months but is a very funny older man and i love those so i spend a lot of time with him at work and today he said "lemme ask you something. did you go to catholic school?" and i was like no and he said "i would have thought you did." but he didn't say what it meant. as the sandbox's catholic person can you explain it

my first inclination is that he thought you were secretly naughty

but maybe not necessarily?

no it was not that kind of situation at all now that i read my post it reads disgusting. we were talking about having ADHD OCD and disorganization

i was like WHY and then he got distracted

that's cool because i hate when funny endearing ppl are creepy and also hate myself for expecting them to be

Irish name maybe?

but as to where he was heading with the question, idk could be almost anywhere really.

I'm only catholic in the same way that I can jump my own height- once, maybe, many thanks years ago, and even then it was only cos I was small

no it was not that kind of situation at all now that i read my post it reads disgusting. we were talking about having ADHD OCD and disorganization

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEEMS!!!!!!!

:D. ty try

just struck me that a bytimes rotten bytimes wonderful nz ilxor knew about it despite not being fb warned and I immediately blamed someone in sandbox

aww

glad tidings, deems! unfortunately the little sandbox bird's tweet didn't make it to my part of the world until this morning.

hb!

:D

I thought Klata was expressing his admiration for yrs truly above but he has made it clear on numerous occasions since that his fanship refers more to hrs truly

She has the air of being a lovely girl, no sense in denying it. I mean I'm sure you're a decent cove yourself, irl, but I've only so much to go round.

if she wasn't meaner than the previous recruits she'd not have outlasted em tbph but certainly it greatly upsets and confuses lots of ppl that she's taking so long wising up to me. that's her lookout imo i like christmas but im not voting for it

deems, what days will you be in seattle?!

huh

nm j/k

WAY TO KEEP ME IN SUSPENSE ALL HOLIDAY

outrageous attempt to hijack popular thread

how do you get the rolling stones?

lose jagger

lol

!

i have just been offered a house with no noisy neighbours and an extra bedroom and a garden and a shed and stuff but get this rent is 20% LESS than current place

ok we havent looked at it yet and the area is possibly sketchy but i know the owner and we're both tougher than she is so im not hugely concerned

i would like this noted as possibly big news and i would also like somebody to tell me that we definitely wont have any trouble getting out of our current tenancy, thanks

congrats!

tell yr landlords that your home distillery has gotten too big for the premises

(sheer luck I looked here, btw)

ty ty that's almost certainly legally binding enough for my purposes

is this a brother of the unicorn girl?

i love that little mac nephew, he’s a corker

it’s my understanding unicorn girl will be playing the role of bossy older cousin

nephew otm

saw one of these trucks in new jersey http://darragh-trucking.com/

my dad sent me a picture of a 1911 census page showing my great-great-grandfather michael's family, including my 7 year old great-grandfather michael. my grandfather, father, and brother are all michael. i emailed back i wonder what great-great-great-grandfather's name was? and my dad said "pete." LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

well the run had to end somewhere

bet he was peadar rly tho

my dads sister got the same census page printed for them all when it came available a few years back and he opened it in the house i was renting in dublin at the time. the family address for the census was three doors away!

anyway in the same trip home they discovered (tho apparently twas an open secret on the island) that the child in that census- my granda- was left to them by his mother as she was sent to mericay in disgrace. he was raised by his uncle and wife as their own, they being childless themselves.

when they moved back home and he inherited the land, the cousins (otherwise in line) never got over it and scuff up the right-of-way to the pier to this very day.

anyway, michaels all the way up in my lot too, until a pj who ran the smallest licensed pub in the country on the island in the late 1800's according to the sign still in the shed down home last i checked.

he was probably not pete, that was my dad's dadjoke. it said michael the elder was a "shopkeeper." i wonder what the shop was. it was limerick, they must have moved at some point because i think my grandfather was from clare. we gotta do a thing like they do on pbs where they showed bernie sanders and larry david were cousins and find out we are cousins but that isn't so hard in ireland i guess, the west virginia of countries

redundant to do so

the part of my surname after the mc is the first name of the donegal chieftain whose surname you share

this is iirc, ofc

you are correct

we're cousins

seems clear

happy deemsday iirc

happy deemsday, mr. president

OH! happy day!

deeming this day deemsday feels appropriate

happy birthday dear deems

ty ty my wonderful sandboxers <3

Yes was there a question?

Forty five sheep gone is no joke bejaysus

poor mikey joe

trouble ahead
trouble behind
mikey joe you better
watch your sheep

The nightmare of Mikey Joe

my brother is mikey joe. well, he is now.

gordie and dingle are investigating the incident.

Ah see now that is interesting

Because the hnnngordie pronunciation is sheer Montrose speak, pure RTE and never actually heard in the hnnnnwild

But paschal takes it to hnnnnextremnnnnes

But the boys up the hill, yeah I know fellas talk like that my age- not the exact accent even, but the staccato bursts of suddenly-released furious nonsense.

Dingle was always Dingle but they made it into dingle-an-dangen but there was a revolt and now it's just Dingle again

I was there only last week and it's about as beautiful as we have, but obv the bucks staling the yos would be a concern in terms of a sandbox retreat there

we just need a good dag and some moonshine night

Maybe a fella with a truck waiting for us but lookit

whoever's doin it knows what he's doin

can be done about it nothin?

it made me think of a client i had from west virginia whose accent/cadence was so unintelligible i once sheepishly had to tell him i didn't understand anything he'd said and he did not seem to get why

was working fitting kitchens one summer a life ago and I walked into this apartment building we were working on that was getting a lot done on a few different units at once between electrics, kitchens, plastering and all that,so there were strange faces about the whole time. walked into a room getting painted by one of the first black guys I'd ever seen irl (I'm irish btw) and v likely the first I'd ever had spoken with, viz, at high volume from himself, HOWROOBI.
Well you can imagine, rly. I said ? in not as many words, being 16 and totally struck by the moment and wanting not to be unfriendly or awkward but at that stage of development socially where all I was projecting to the world was awkward unfriendliness. bastard had a gleam in his eye as he repeated happily HOWROOBI and at this stage I'm mugging like an early career Hugh Laurie, not wanting to say anything as obvious or stupid as "sorry I only speak english" (and being 16 still as apt to claim honours French, pass irish and three words of Dutch in any such sentence in any case).

dude advances, fuckin gleam in his eye now, slows it right down like I'm the idiot I'm clearly appearing to be, HOWR-OOBI, this is shit, I'm all but about to run out in agonised bewilderment or attempt a Chevy Chasesque bluff of massive proportions along the lines of generic multinational welcoming custom, when a fella walks in thats working with him:

HOWROOBI, GRAND HOWROOBI, GRAND. DOES THIS YUNG LAD NOT TAAAAWKATALL?

fuckin corkmen.

still didnt understand a word out of either of them the rest of the week, but yknow at least it felt better kinda thing.

― post you had fecund thoughts about (darraghmac), Wednesday, March 4, 2015 10:50 PM

he done the same thing all week to everyone, the rest of em just muttered "sorry only english" I think I was his favourite tbh

Sandboxers it looks like we will soon very likely own a house in ireland, which is a very expensive and grownup and scary thing to do but i still feel pretty good about it, ask me anything you like about it

A four-year-old in Northern Ireland had quite a to-do list on October 24. Caroline O’Neill recorded this video of her imaginative son Darragh going over everything he had planned for the day – only one day after he got his driver’s license, he said.

O’Neill told Storyful her son is a “very busy man,” as the lad notes in the video.

“He loves to work hard and farm the land with his brother and daddy and grandas,” she said. “He is a hardworking wee boy.”

In the video Darragh can be heard going through the impressive pretend list, which includes picking up the keys to the car he just bought, putting in tiles in the house he’s building, cleaning windows, putting up barbed wire, cutting sheep, and much more.

We dont approve of storyful but we approve of wee mon v much

Theres another one of him discussing how you know a bull from a cow with his brother

I had that approximate accent btwn c.89-94 but we moved back to the west again and at that stage i dropped accents like normal kids changed tshirts so the broad northern drawl of teyan heyans quickly reverted to the rushed and narrow tin hins of my native county

Nobody ever fell in love with a mayo accent

had no idea that the hedges were such a bother

Its the soil up that way, you can to nothin with it

i hear you cluckin re: eggshells, but

it was gyac who really stepped up

Absolutely, certainly ive been between eggshells and pretend-not-there for a decade

Unicorn girl has a nose stud and a skateboard, she seemed only a little disappointed that i approved

<3

happy birthday and year dear deems<3

lovely fellow despite all the consonants

OH! happy one day late!

Still a pretty good effort tho

Lisa frank shower curtain girl recalls no such event and is going to switzerland with her sister next month just cos
