The good gnus is you're pregnant. The bad gnus is you're pregnant. Right?

Rapaire-

There's something about "gnaturally" that really bugs me...

Megan-

That's really quite lovely.

Seamus-

Thanks, it's nice to be appreciated. I'm reminded now of this foreboding verse:

And ye shall marry a gnunner good,
And a right fine gnunner I'm sure he'll be,
And the very first shot that e'er he shoots
Will kill both my young son and me.

And these scurrilous lines from the hunt club members:

She was only the gamekeeper's daughter
But all the gnunners gnew 'er.

Cheerily,
Charley Noble

Ah, you guys missed that great old musical, Annie Get Your Gnu! Surely you remember those song lines,

Still they're happy as can be
Doin' what comes gnaturally."

Ahm No Cummin Oot

Ahm no cummin oot gnu gnu

And ah don't ken whit tae do.
She said ahd come on Monday
Mind she said that last week to
So ahm no cummin gnu gnu
Ahm no cummin oot gnu

They gave her castor oil
Made her dae some star jumps to
Noo they've sent ma maw tae Aiberdeen
Tae see whit they can do
But ma grannies taen up gamblin
And ah don't ken whit tae do.
So ahm no cummin gnu gnu
Ahm no cummin oot gnu

Ma faithers telt me whit they'll do
Ah can't believe it's true
If their trying tae flecht this poor we wean
They've scared me through and through
Noo ahv'e seen the light it's nae sae bad
Ah'll come and stay wi you
Ahm Harry boy your pride and joy
Ahm cummin tae bide wi you.

Know gnus is good gnus!

We fired our gnus but the British kept a-comin'
There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago;
We fired once more and they began a-runnin'
Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico!

He died with his six-gnues a-blazin'
But only three hairs on his chest!

What a harvest this thread is!

Tis true you can play with a gnu. Tis true you can play with a stewed gnu. Tis true a stewed gnu might rue something misconstrued and apologize in the morning. A gnu is the the same as you, who just wants to do right by you. It's the Golden Rule. Drink a little bud... chew a little cud... get down tonight.

"The wildebeest -also known as the gnu is a large antelope. The bull's deep grunts sound like a giant croaking frog. Because of its appearance and spirited behavior, Dutch settlers in South Africa named the animal wildebeest, which means wild beast."

It's okay to play with gnus, but you need to remember that gnus have a tendency to overindulge a bit. Gnus are frequently guilty of "PWI" (Posting While Intoxicated). If you are playing with a gnu and you say something to him and his reaction seems to have come from someplace way out in left-field, he's probably knee-walking drunk. He will look at his post in the morning and be all nice and apologetic.
