    you can if you use protection

    Some people have told me they don't think a fat penguin really embodies the grace of Linux, which just tells me they have never seen a angry penguin charging at them in excess of 100mph. They'd be a lot more careful about what they say if they had.

    Katie you didn't specify where the smooches could be though

    The smooches must be somewhere that you would not be arrested for showing in public.....

    spoonerism (SPOON-uhr-iz'm), noun:
    something that Ian Buggers up.

    For a very long time one of my nicknames has been spooner ( about 5 years now). So a spoonerism could be classed as something I do

    My mate calls himself Spoonboy. He reckons he got it from the Matrix (that kid who bent the spoons - it says "Spoon boy" in the credits). He now goes by the name Spoontang, but has been Spooner in the past.

    When I was a kid ("When I were a boy..."), 'spoon' used to be an insult on approximately the same sort of level as 'gimp', only without the weird sexual preferences. Is the nickname something you chose or was it enforced?

    harry - it was inforced, but nothing as perverted as that.

    With a company I used to work for (Ok, I admit it, I used to be a manager at mcdonalds ) we used to play indoor football each week, and to say the least, i'm not exactly the best footballer in the world. Thus every time I used to shoot, I would "Spoon" The ball away. Thus equating to the nickname of spooner. Haven't been able to get rid of it ever since. I must admit though as far as nicknames go, it isn't too bad, unlike dennis's "Sheep Shagger"
