The_Creep_2020 06/01/20 10:37:11 PM #1:	As many of you are aware, my favourite phrase of all time is my dear boy. As you are also no doubt aware, it is a phrase with a fine history, including its use in the literary masterpiece Brideshead Revisited (and, by extension, the sublime Sir John Gielgud in the 1980s adaptation). However, it is somewhat dated and in light of the fact that I may unwittingly use it towards people of colour (which would be quite beyond the pale) and twist it from being affectionate and vaguely patronising to unintentionally racist I have decided to update my favourite phrase for the 21st century. Thus, I require suggestions. How may I change this phrase to embrace the times? My dear _______ --- Mugwump Fluid <cite>The_Creep_2020 posted [p:940052400] in My favouri...

The_Creep_2020 06/01/20 10:59:24 PM #10:	MedeaLysistrata posted... You should just call everyone Palamino Although a good suggestion, I fear I cannot. Palomino horses (and mere mention of the term) triggers a traumatic memory for yours truly. You see, as a small child my parents took me to visit a spanish themed amusement park prised for its equestrian displays and handsome horses (including said palominos). There, I broke away from the usually firm grip of my fathers hand and attempted to dryhump the feathery fetlocks of a Clydesdale. Although the horse was unperturbed, this was simply because it did not notice me. I was nearly trampled to death by its brobdingnagian hooves. I avoided said fate, however I did fall into a fresh, steaming pile of its manure. --- Mugwump Fluid <cite>The_Creep_2020 posted [p:940053542] in My favouri...

If user maps are persistent over eleven years, my dear OG, it would be possible to trace this account to my original account. There is also one former moderator who would be able to verify my identity, were they so inclined. Aside from the obvious changes one undergoes over the span of a decade, the most significant change to my posting is the result of my shift to using a mobile phone as my primary method of accessing gamefaqs. I find that typing on a small screen rather than a keyboard somewhat restrictive and that rather restricts my capacity to wax lyrical. Rather than releasing a veritable torrent from the fountain of my wisdom for you to bathe in, I am instead restricted to a vague trickle, with the occasional enthusiastic squirt. Enough to cleanse ones face with, at least. Never fear, the next time I feel in the mood to squirt some wisdom, I shall keep you in mind, my dear OG. --- Mugwump Fluid <cite>The_Creep_2020 posted [p:940108878] in My favouri...
