Oh right. Odd. But then so is he....

Is your newsreader broken? This is the bit you seem to have missed: (as you can see, the so what remains valid). There are still foreign parts in the M1 - no matter how much you try to call the countries which manufacture them American.

PLONK is the sound made when an identity drops into the bozo bin called a killfile. Simply means I stop reading and responding to posts from Lucas just as I did with the donkey. The filters aren't good enough to eliminate him from sequential replies by others, where I have no hesitation at all in discussing his pathological ideation when something rises to a level worthy of comment, as most of his stuff does not. So it seems that Lucas is the one who hasn't figured out what PONK means in real terms. But not understanding what he's talking about never stopped him anyway. |
