Xopher: The links abov will leed you to the grate works of Nigel Molesworth, the goriller of 3b, such as Down with Skool!, How to be Topp, Whizz for Atomms, and Back In The Jug Agane. Our gracious host, obviously a man of taste and distinction (hem hem), is by no meens a WEED or a WET, unlike some of the denziens of St. Cuthbert's, Molesworth's alma mater.

On the other hand, maybe they can spell.

And the master sa why have you not corectly entered your HTML Molesworth? You kno that your angel brackets must be just rite! The bean proklaims: Fix it or you will get six it is a grate chiz. He sa READING broadens the mind (tho not as broad as Grabber's mater hem hem.)

You can edjucate yourself at St. Custard's! (As any fule kno, hem hem.) Learn how to deal with weedstruck wets, cads, oiks, and snekes! Pater sa that the BBC HOME SERVICE is the best radio stashun in the world if onli they wud not use real audio and wud keep ther programs up for ever chiz. Still ther is always READING as the English master sa HARUM HARUM boys let us now rede Wordsworth he is WET and a WEED.

Graydon: As I read it, 'catholic' in the Nicene creed is simply saying "As Christians, we hold these truths to be self-evident; never mind whether you pray standing up or sitting down, if you subscribe to these beliefs, you're part of a wider catholic church." After all, Nicea was about defining doctrine that all the churches could agree upon.

(Note: I'm just a clergy brat, not a theologian or church scholar. YMMV, the value of souls can go up as well as down, etc. etc.)
Posted on entry I think that's what you call a negative review. ::: April 21, 2004, 06:16 AM:
Yes, sarky is a Britspeak shortening of sarcastic. Whether it is in any way related to snarky, I don't know.

Teresa: indeed, though quite what the hierarchy is I'm not sure. Maybe:
sarcastic profile
sardonic feature
acerbic article
shirty spread
caustic column
destroying review OF DOOM (q.v.)?

The Grauniad piece is here.

Plum is a nickname; her Christian name is Victoria. Not that I'm usually au fait with the habits of New York fashion journalists, but Saturday's Grauniad Weekend magazine had a (faintly sarky) profile of her.

mks beats any other system hands down. (Unless, for whatever kinky reasons you may have, you want a force- rather than a mass-based setup).

Electric for most guitars, acoustic for all else. Bagel. Homoousion. Edging towards Mingus, but blink and I'll change my mind. Chaucer. Mouse. Sherman Firefly. Shaken only ever really for fruit cocktails, but give me a real ale any day.
