I'm 148.   IQ that is.

Thanks d+ for clarifying your results. Ladder updated accordingly (and I'm happy to be 'bumped'!):

1. daisycutter                               68

2. old dee                                      67

3. dpositive                                   64

4. Timothy Reddan A’Blew        61

5. Beelzebub                                 56

6. bjDEE                                         54

7. Red and Bluebeard                 LII

 

BBO, your number is impressive, whatever it applies to. On the trend towards plausibility, though - from age, through IQ - I'm pondering the truth: girth? But, on the strength of it, the Number 2 Ticket Holder in our little old league is yours. Hemingway, though only 116, is deceased - and famous - so he holds Number 1, posthumously.

Thanks Timothy, very decent of you. Remember though that although there is a very short material life, the spiritual life is ever present and ever lasting. As time has passed I believe that most of us connected by the eternal spirit soul. Even Bitters.

Your time would have been longer had you not decided to blow your own head off in the study.

You did manage to produce a beautiful grand daughter ,Mariel ,who starred in some terrible movies.

I think she topped herself  ,which we can blame you for also.

Edit:it was her sister Margaux ,which you never would have known ,as you were dead.

Unfortunately for you your own father and siblings were lemmings as well.

On that cheery note ,i might go read some Kafka or Orwell to brighten things up.

You are such a compassionate and sensitive soul Biffen. Such thoughtful and caring words. 

I have just completed a comprehensive task risk assessment and a triple bottom line analysis of my proposed Cairo to Constantinople odyssey. Looks like it is dead in the water. Can't find an insurer to take us on I am afraid. I am now proposing a boat trip from Cairo to Constantinople. How we actually get to Cairo is still worrying me but leave it with me.

Via Syria of course. That'll get the insurers excited.

LOL. I'm sure we can arrange a match report for that. And for a small fee we can provide such report in advance of the game.....

Thank god for the insurers otherwise there would be some Demonlanders missing in action next year and forever more. Sensible decision Earl. A boat trip with other Demonlanders may be a little cramped depending on who joins the trip. Perhaps 2 or 3 days in Constantinople may be sufficient with a mandatory trip to the steam baths for Bitters, Biffen and Picket. Frankly, Spain is looking better by the day, traveling overland through the Basque Country down to San Sebastián and down to Granada and Seville. Tequila, paella, senoritas and sunshine are a heady mix. And perhaps a bullfight for those wishing to get the full experience. No problems with insurers, however, lots of stamina is a prerequisite.

Got shares in the caterers down that way, DC? Sounds like you want to get him into an egg-and-bacon roll eating contest with bjDee ...

Earl, it comes as no surprise, of course, for one of your class, but you are clearly showing the tendency to make this trip a combination of a section of the Odyssey and the voyage of the bogan terrorists setting off in their tinny for the Middle East. Perhaps we could throw in the original Kon Tiki as well, so that all of the world's great sea voyages can be celebrated by recreating portion of them on Earl's Boat Tour of Middle-Eastern Hotspots. Sounds like you should organise the route to Cairo to include a close look at the pirate-laden waters off Sudan, and a search for the land of Prester John as well. For a small extra fee, perhaps go looking for the Holy Grail while you are at it ...

I'm quite into the E&B rolls, as D'landers would know.  But there's no way I will eat a catheter.

I thought the E&B rolls went into you, not the other way around ... 

It suddenly occured to me that the MFC must be having a very good season.

The subject of jumper colours has not been raised for weeks !

Correct dc and there have been a number of setbacks since then.  I understand ( from a source within the Hood household) that he caught his man Hudson and the hirstute Conchita

 in flagrante delicto,  in a tub of steaming guava paste!

Little wonder he is unhinged.

BBO, I'm sure that will only add a premium to the price of the paste that Earl sells. 'New and improved massage paste as used by a randy butler and a housemaid. Limited edition. May contain traces of pubes and nuts'. Should bring out all the perves in the Fitzroy and Brunswick area.

That might have worked once bj but nowadays every manufacturer and business fears litigation.

I can't think of a worse choking hazard than a pube at the back of the throat.

bitters you are intelligent and clearly a man of interesting and varied tastes and behaviours but you do let yourself down by dropping your normally high moral standards that I would normally associate with others. Why do you do this? Some may think you have a personality disorder although I suspect you are tired at the end of a busy day and just enjoy an old fashioned stir by making outrageous comments that are  often in bad taste and unbecoming of a MFC supporter. Of course I suspect that many turn to this page just to read your comments and blatant exhibitionism which encourages your perverse comments. I am one of those readers that is intrigued by your madness!
