http://www.worldoftheuseless.org.uk/There's even a section called the Battle of the Bears in there with no mention of GallantTed (see site index at bottom of page). Shocken is what I call it.

Hiya, GT! Good to see you! The "Where's Osama?" link is LOL!!!
Thanks!
Also love the sound of this word, the way it flows when you say it:
heteroscedasticity: Its a statistical measure of a normal distribution...whatever that means.
Sounds like something you could apply to describe the subtext to Tennessee Williams'
Cat On A Hot Tin Roof if the undelying theme were latent heterosexuality, instead of
vice versa

What could be more of an honor? If all the world is useless and you're excluded from the world, it is the whole world that is excluded; you are all that is not. It's just a matter of perspective.
Howya Faldage
I am excluded, there for I am.

Hello,
David's World of the Useless here. GallantTed was good enough to recommend my site (admittedly with a side gripe about him not receiving a mention in the Battle of the Bears).
You can got directly to the Battle of the Bears page via this link:

As to the question of GallantTed's existence, he was excluded due to my ignorance of him. Philosophically GallantTed was not in my universe. He has since made himself known to me, but I've yet to see a picture of him and am therefore still unconvinced of his existence. In the World of the Useless: I gif, therefore I am.
That's OK for you, but I gif at the office.
Aha! The Dave is Bishop Berkeley in disguise!

Had a bit of a hollyday fer meself so sorry I couldn't partake in this mighty fillysofical debate.
Of course, it's all about brand names, ya see. Once it used ta be I jif, therefore I clean, but now it's I cif, therefore I clean. (Not me good self, of course, I get me people ta do that sorta thing).
Thus, on reflection, does the mirror be durty if yer not looken at it? - or somethin like that.

GallantTed
Oh do... please do...talk dirty to me
Gallant, your mirror is only dirty when lewd actions are such.
Please... never act dirty or talk dirty to me in public.
Because what I love is... your mind.

I should have explained that on this side of the proverbeal pond, jif is a cleaning agent fer the bathroom and kitchen and the like. They then changed the name to cif. I don't know if ya have the same product in The Mericas.
They once changed a chocolate bar called marathon ta snickers. Did ya know that? I've a fierce sweet mind, ya see.

Parbly because y'all startit try and to scrub yer loos down with peanut butter.
The cleaning liquid is still called Jif in New Zealand, and there no reported cases of any Zilders mistaking it for peanut butter.
mistaking it for peanut butter.
I wasn't so much worried about anyone spreading toilet cleaner on sandwiches as I was about folks trying to clean out the toilet with peanut butter. And I wouldn't think that a Zilder would make either mistake. Never can tell bout them UKns, though. I know ifn they tried to call toilet cleaner *here there'd be lawyer meat on the hoof for a month of Sundays.
clean out the toilet with peanut butterYeah, I've heard tell that Jif is the brand-name for a supposedly good USn peanut butter, but we haven't evolved much beyond SunPat over this side of the Pond - and let's face it, eating SunPat's pretty much like eating heavily sugared and salted glue with a few wood-shavings and bits of grit thrown in.
We also have Jif lemons over here - actually squeezable plastic lemons (don't start
) filled with something vaguely related to lemon juice. Very popular on Shrove Tuesday. Rarely used to clean toilets. Though come to think of it, they may clean toilets fairly well.
I doubt Jif of either variety could shift SunPat peanut butter though, even from the shiniest of surfaces. Wasn't that the problem with the Hubble mirror?
