Apparently the prize is a Minelab GPX 5000 Chris!

You had better take a fortnight off work to see if you can catch up on anyone who has more than you! It doenst matter if you dont know anything about the topic - just make it up like I do but write it using authoritative words and jargon and everyone will be convinced that what is said is true!

In that manner you might get quickly to the 1500 post!

Dammit Lammer, you're pushing 1600 posts. Thats got to be the highest surely.

Unless anybody knows differently...



My greatest fear is that when I die my wife will sell my collection for what I told her it cost me.

According to the member search page http://www.paydirt.co.nz...f_members.aspx?g=members Lammerlaw is our most proficient poster at 1594. He's way head of the NZPoohbear40 who is the next highest one at 1322. Creamer is the only other one who has passed the magic 1000 mark.

As Billy The KIds said - "Theres only the quick and the dead" - or was it Wild Bill Hickok who said that? Now there really had to be a method in my madness of suggesting a Minelab GPX 5000 as a prize!

I dont know if talking too much is a good thing - I say things here and end up having a Donnybrook with someone and I talk to my missus 'The Right Honourable Lady Sexless' and I get abused and told to "F*** off" and even when I talk to the mirror after a few drinks it abuses me back - so no, too much talking is definitely not a good thing.

Yeah - it's kinda strange how as women's language gets dirtier their actual sexuality decreases, but perhaps the opposite is true too, as the dirty language decreases the chances might be better? I'm often told to F.. off - get F...d and F... you is a common one too, but I get very little help or encouragement to achieve any of those objectives. I'll have to try this theory out, see if I can get some dirty behaviour happening when the language is clean.
It could be just an age thing I suppose - as I have found that as I get older I'm saying that I can't be F...ed a lot, which isn't totally true, but perhaps by me saying it so often, has made it true in reality! A self fulfilling prophecy maybe?
Or perhaps when she tells me it's time I mowed the F..ing lawns and I as normal reply - I can't be F...ed - I could just add the word "apparently" to the end of the sentence. I doubt she would get it though, she just is not a subtle person.

I think my wife's sexuality is decreasing. She told me I was a hopeless lover but how she can judge me on thirty seconds is beyond me.

An interesting and valid observation - my wife never ever used the 'F' word - in fact I highly doubt if she had heard it as a girl and young lady. She was such a prude that she would never ever use it even if she did know it. When and how she first heard it I have no idea. I am sure that she never equated it to a certain act that had more eloquent terms to describe it and certainly never used it when we practiced the 'art' every morning and every night for ten years.

Actually when we got married I didnt know she had any idea of the sex thing and thought that I might have to teach her the ins and outs (Excuse the pun) of the whole affair - not that there was an affair at that point in time - and actually thought that she might pass out in in fright the very first time she saw Wong Dong and Stanley but it actually seemed to hold her captivated and quite mesmerized - a bit like a snake and a mongoose...or is that Stoat and rabbit?

Sometime after the regular bedroom gymnastics became sporadic she first used the 'F' word - Now I would have thought that knowing her nature she would have felt bad about using that word and thought that next Sunday she would have confessed and for the godly sum of twenty four "Hail Mary's" and a ten dollar penance be forgiven.
The 'Hail Mary' part would be OK but the thought of parting with any money could have been extremely traumatic. It was about this stage that I learnt she was actually an Anglican so that presumably theres no penance to pay for saying 'That word' - Due to the fact that she worships a god called 'Cash' I can also only assume that the Anglican church has a massive $ sigh on the altar.


Anyway she has become fairly adept at "F*** Off" "Get F***ed" "F*** up" "F*** you" and of course the two which are blessed releases from ones matrimonial vows and an open invitation to behave somewhat promiscuously is "Go and F*** someone else" when I went to bed and asked if she wanted to cuddle and "Go and get F***ed" - these two got me into a bit of strife at one stage as it resulted in a friend of mine of the female gender up in South Canterbury getting a bun in the oven. This particular friend had a tendency to say "F*** me" when she got a surprise and I was always popping surprises so it is no surprise that we got into a bit of strife.
I can never quite understand it however when my wife says "F*** you" because she actually means the opposite!

In any case my wifes not too infrequent use of the word in its various contexts has convinced me that she may well be descended from that great Russian dynasty - the 'F***offs' and their cousins'F***offskis' and the 'F***ovitches'

That is really funny, and interesting and fairly revealing too.
I'm not with the woman I married any more, but this one may well be a clone. Prudish, Anglican and from a churchy family too. Not sure how they get away with all the swearing either. My mother was a similar churchy sort though, and when I asked why she swore, she said I would make a saint swear. When I said I didn't think Anglicans had saints I was told to F... off.
When my new woman and I first got together there was no swearing and lots of sex, now just the reverse. I will however possibly get the last laugh, as my prostate is apparently on it's way out, and I guarantee that when "The Bald Explorer" is no longer available for duty she will probably rediscover the desire, as she normally only wants what she can't have.
I won't care as long as I lose the urge along with the ability.

Funny that as my mother always said to me that I would make a Saint swear as well.

Actually I remember the first time I ever heard the 'F' word - it was a marvellous new word and so I decided to use it at the dinner table that night
in the appropriate part of a sentence to prove to all and sundry that my grasp of the English language was improving. I cant rememebr what the sentence was but presume that it was something like "What are we having for F***ing pudding mum?" or "Can I F*** you mum?" - In any case my old man went spastic, he went totally Ape shit, ballistic. He was waving his arms around like a tormented Orangutang with a red hot con rod up its arse. He was belting hell out of me and screamed at me to look it up in the dictionary and read aloud what it meant!

As for mum - she was naive and she was saying "Whats wrong with what the boy said? What does it mean? Why are you hitting him? Stop behaving like that? I dont know what it means either - what DOES it mean - tell me what it means?"

That only made the old man worse - he was totally demented and frothing at the cake hole. As for the word - rest assured that the only thing I found out that night is 1) It was not in the Common Oxford Dictionary 2) I got a hell of a hiding for saying it 3) I caused a matrimonial domestic disturbance between mum and dad all because of 'F' 4) Life was never the same again.

Using this word also had cause for another disturbance a month or so later when Dad and my Uncle took us fishing and the old man was pulling a dog fish up the side of a cliff when a Shag (bird - not the Shags related to F***) flew into the line and got caught. When dad got the shag up to the top of the cliff it glared at dad with bloodshot eyes and a tormented look then promptly took to him pecking him in the leg - the funny thing was the old man dancing on the edge of the cliff trying to kick the Shag to Purgatory...but the thing that ruined the day was the fact that he screamed out - need I say?

I yelled at him "You smacked me for saying that word - your unfair - your one of those Hippo crittens - I'm telling mum on you" - the remainder of the day was a fairly traumatic experience for me - another hiding - and all because of a Shag and one simple "F***!"

Getting older isnt good and so its thank god for the little blue pill - when the stage looks set for a bit of dueling with the pork sword you pop a quarter of one of those pills as an Insurance then off to the room of delights - bedroom - to find that Little Miss Sexless is not in the least interested and that reading Mills and Boon are a far better bet or more likely 'Torture Techniques of the Spanish Inquisition' 'The Knights of Bushido' or 'Practical Steps to Arranging your own Divorce'

Yes as long as I have the urge and the ability then all will be good but I also need someone to do it with.

I'm sure that my partners whole family have a genetic condition that represses their sense of humour. I was at her sisters place sitting around for a lunchtime backyard barby, when I noticed a number of ducks, cormorants and seagulls flying about. I said to the missus - I could catch one of those ducks for you, you could have it for a pet Honey. A sarcastic - no thanks, was the reply. Well would you like a seagull then, I asked - they are a bit noisy and messy, but you could have one of them for a pet - no way she said. So quick as a flash I asked - well how about a shag then. Total silence. There were a few of her other rele's that heard it but not a peep not even a squeak. I laughed myself silly, as much for the lemon sucking face she pulled at me, as the joke I had just thought up.
