It's my tribute to the :topic: Moniker thread.
That explanation would never have occurred to me.
That's because you don't think like a lady.
Is there any safe response?
I think you will find that I have managed to craft a question to which there is no safe answer.

I believe you have done that, Monica.
Once again, Big Monica achieves a feat not previously thought possible for mere humans.

Not at all, dear lady. I was trying to convey my sincere appreciation for a stunning achievement. If I expressed myself badly, I beg your forgiveness.

I'm no radar operator I'm afraid so I can't make out the signals due to a great mass of right angled lines, symbols and wot-not.
All I can make out is that female may be male, but I doubt that could be enough to prepare the fleet?

I believe there was a small typo in the placement of her last response, namely "WORM."
Well, you can chop a worm up, but it will still survive to talk to its new friend.
I don't know what to make of it P!?

Well, H, as I said, it all took me completely by surprise. If you had asked me what to expect from Big today, I would never have guessed that this would be the turn things would take.

I wish he hadn't.
Sorry about today. I've been really busy and a woman and things. I can feel myself changing back for the weekend.
Bloke with nothing to do 'cept post on here and get high.

There. All back to normal.
I might have to explain some of my 'woman' posts on the other side later tonight, but I will be drunk and won't care.

Feel free to pay us a visit, Mr. Big.

Phew! :)

You should know, Parma Mick, that the US Supreme Court has struck down as being unconstitutional state laws prohibiting sexual relations between members of the same sex. The case was called Lawrence v. Texas. I don't have the exact cite handy.
DC should be really excited when he sees this post.
I know I am very very lucky to find that kind of bigotry funny.
Nice to have the right to do things, even if I am unlikely to exercise that right.
The forums have all gone a bit gay today. I even turned into a woman for a while!
Welcome all gays, that's what I say.

*Really? This is fantastic! 
I just was left at the mid-Nineties, when I knew that it was forbidden in some states... Even oral sex, I guess now it's legal...
It's great that something liberal can still happen in a country so plagued by bigotry these days...

On the other hand, gay marriage is not doing so well here.

Why do I have the feeling that he will be much happier to hear that from you than from me, M?

*Here neither, but that's a different and more difficult issue (we'll do a thread on BCD if I ever have time again to check that forum)...
Back on the subject of, you know, the music of New Order, I have something to throw into the Odyssey theory.
I have been thinking about the following lines, the bridge from the song “Waiting for the Siren’s Call”:
How many times must I lose my way, Eh? How many words do I have to say, Eh? What can I do just to make you see, That you're so good for a man like, A man like me
This brings to my mind the tasks that are often set to test the heroes of the great legends. These lines make me think that the singer is attempting to convey the sense of hopelessness the Hero feels when faced with these seemingly impossible tasks. The hero is required to prove his worth in the heroic tradition, and he doesn’t know how to go about it. His cries evoke a heroic call to the gods “What do I have to do? What is the nature of this challenge?”
Interestingly, the last two lines of the bridge contain an unexpected twist. Rather than the expected ‘How can I prove that I’m good enough for you’, the logic is ‘how can I prove that you’re good enough for me’. Surely, if the person being addressed needs to prove her (or, if certain less reputable threads on this forum are to be believed, ‘his’) worth, surely it should be her that's getting lost in the boat. I cannot explain this, and it is putting a bit of a spanner in my theory.
Also, the hero’s choice of language rather spoils the idea that he is addressing the Gods. Although it is popular to add the word “Eh?” to the end of a question, particularly in the area around me and Barney’s home town of Manchester, it’s hardly proper English. I like to think of my heroes making an effort to speak correctly when addressing the all-powerful ones.
Nevertheless, I offer this theory, flawed as it is, as food for thought.
