"Don't mention the war! I mentioned it once but I think I got away with it! So it's all forgotten now and let's hear no more about it."

"Is something wrong?"

"Will you please stop talking about the war?"

"Me? You started it!"

"We did not!"

"Yes you did, you invaded Poland!"

I met kids like you at school "Sir, Sir, Look what Donut did!"

I suppose I should be grateful you haven't called me anti-american.

Ahhh thank you for the educational moment [img]smile.gif[/img]
And since you took the time to look up Ray Grass I thought I might
tell you that my name is actually Raymond which equates to "Harvest Moon" in some languages [img]smile.gif[/img]

Donut 06-25-2003 12:32 PM

Actually I put "grass" into the online dictionary and Ray Grass was the first definition. Strange but true.

Cloudbringer 06-25-2003 12:38 PM

Ahem.....Donut! Donut! Donut! Donut!....(ok, so imagine it's high pitched and sounds like "BASIL!")

LOLOLOL! [img]graemlins/laugh3.gif[/img] As it happens, I like Fawlty towers and as this isn't about the war or Iraq (fyi! a NEW forum is coming soon for that stuff), ....I will just sit and chuckle, contemplating the episode with the garden gnome....hehe...hope you're sitting down, Donut! LOLOLOL! ;) *snicker*

Mahlennacht 06-26-2003 12:45 AM

Basil: "...and no need to mention the war---NING, that all trespassers will be tied up with piano wire-- SORRY, SORRY!..."

Basil to Manuel: "This, Basil. This, Basil's wife. This, slap on face *WHAP*."

*Basil clutching a garden gnome in threatning manner calmly walks out of Fawlty Towers*
-Basil! Where are you going?
-I'm going to pay Mr O'Riley a visit dear.

It's obscure, but its my favourite line from the show :D

...don't mention the war :D My second favourite episode.

Haha! Got that on VCD...

"Oh it's MY fault is it? There I was thinking it was your fault, or Manuel's fault, but it was my fault all along! Well I must be punished then! You're a naughty boy" (each syllable of the last line punctuated by a slap on his own backside)

From the same episode... :D

Bardan the Slayer 06-28-2003 03:03 PM

"So that's two eggs mayonnaise, a prawn Goebbels, a Hermann Goering and four Colditz salads... no, wait a moment, I got a bit confused there, sorry...I got a bit confused because everyone keeps mentioning the War, so could you..."

That gets my vote [img]smile.gif[/img]
