“Get stuffed” works in the US. “The engine is stuffed” thing wouldn’t.

Now, if somebody can explain why my grandfather would go “see a man about a horse”…

@ Lemur King and Allen:

I too met a charming Aussie gal awhile back, so you can imagine the hilarity that ensued when I told her my last name is Root ( which it is, no lie ). After she caught her breath and wiped the tears from her eye’s, she suggested I should move to Australia and set up as a gigalo and have business cards made reading ” For A. Root … just dial 555-5555 “. And thats when I light (however dim) went off in my brain, explaining why everytime I made a credit card purchase in Australia, the person behind the counter would glance at my card then stare at me suspiciously.

Confusingly, it can mean both in the UK, weirdsister.

So there’s stuffed as in: “No more pie for me, thank you Mrs. Miggins – I’m absolutely stuffed!” or “We’ll never get another race out of this engine – it’s stuffed!” or “Why don’t you get stuffed?!”

The last is specially recommended as an opening gambit with politicians of all kinds.

Granny, it should run all the time when you’re inside a post where you can see comments, but not on the front page showing all the posts.

It was once my dream to have ALL the sidebar graphics animate when you mouse over them, but WordPress doesn’t play nicely with Flash. Coincidentally, I’ve just spent a couple of hours re-learning that

Granny J, I think Miz Weasel gives you a running one depending on how much she likes you. See, I don’t even rate a locked weasel. I have a completely blank logo.

Allen = No Weasel =

I can’t do math but I can homogenize data.

Oh, and to say “you root” for a certain team implies a very willing sort of fandom in Oz.

My weasel up in the logo no longer runs when I alight my mouse atop it. How much carbon is saved by this change?
