gg, you were quoting judd back there ....
lol - Some powerful imagery there -
and Obviously appealing to your political compass as much as (??) your appreciation of the english language
This one is pretty good too (imo) - by ghotib (Pilgrims thread) - appeals to my religious compass as well.
Julia said:It was the idea of the three of us under one roof, living unexceptional routines and bound to one another by ties of unthinking affection.
Such ordinariness struck me as the very acme of human achievement.
This quote posted by ZZdad on the Obama thread. Obviously as a pisstake - or is it?...
"And it came to pass, in the eighth year of the reign of the evil Bush the Younger (The Ignorant), when the whole land from the Arabian desert to the shores of the Great Lakes had been laid barren, that a Child appeared in the wilderness.
The Child was blessed in looks and intellect. Scion of a simple family, offspring of a miraculous union, grandson of a typical white person and an African peasant. And yea, as he grew, the Child walked in the path of righteousness, with only the occasional detour into the odd weed ...."
(which could be taken to mean wilderness - or marijuana I guess)

Playing the blame game!
Yes mate, the blame game, I live in Townsville the major military base for Northern Australia, and we still can't get reliable broadband.
Too bloody right I'll play the blame game.
Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne have it on tap.
Too bloody right I'll play the blame game.
Little Kev07 went to the election on improving broadband and like everything else the anal little bugger touches its bound up in studies and inquiries.
Its been delayed by 18 months .

On the very last day of the competition, after a hiatus of poor english, graphs and youtubes from posters, chops a must has come into the final straight well in the lead with just over 12 hours to go, in a reply to ZackW.
Re: Schapelle Corby - Innocent or Guilty?
She is obviously pathetic at the 'apple bobbing' contests in prison, hence the lack of sentence reductions, so why think she is going to give you anything worthwhile in the sack when she is out?

One of the attractions of ASF is the good English that is generally written on the forum.
Here is an example from wayneL on post #655 in the Barack 08 thread. It will be hard to beat. It is succinct with a scattering of latinate, french, old english,saxon and norse words, with a nice George Melly original in the middle.
His commas are well placed and he delivers his message with the minimum of fuss.
Ain't English a beaut language.
Thank God some petty left wing, quango inhabiting, humourless jobsworth wasn't there to prosecute him.
Any more examples?
