I like to pretend I have a sleepy sort of charm. The kind where people say, “It’s charming that he fell asleep halfway through our conversation. And the snoring and the dribbling? How charming is that?!” (Murray @ Midnight | 8 Comments)

Snoring and Dribbling are fine, it’s the farting and belching I find people seem to have an issue with.
Well, I think this might be because these fall less into the category of “charming”, and more into the category of “I… don’t believe he did that at the dinner table, during the Ambassador’s speech…”

You haven’t experienced someone farting in public or belching in public and someone exclaiming “Charming!” ?
That feels more like an English way of responding to an indiscretion, whereas in Australia — as you are fully aware — we are much more likely to say, “Strewth!”, often accompanied by, “Fwoar crikey!”

or “You bewdie!”
Yes, yes I’ve met people like that. Amazingly, they’re allowed to vote.

There should be an IQ test for voting. Setting the bar at about 80 would remove more than 90% of the population wouldn’t it Midnight? Of course you and Stark Raving, and likely Saturday as well would find yourselves lonely on that day once every 4 years though.

Look, I honestly don’t mind what IQ the voters have, it’s the IQ of the people they’re voting for that I think matters most. Also, is there such a thing as an Integrity Quotient? Wouldn’t that be nice.
