If you are really pedantic and classically educated, "octopodes" (Four syllables, pronounce all the vowels)
"Three or four octopus" works for me though. This is easy going English not strictly Classical Greek.

"The folk-singer's going out."

"Quick! Throw more petrol on!"

It has been my experience that there are some folks whose sole function in life is to be offended by something, so they can make a scene and get their 5 minutes of attention.

Really? Doing what? And how much do you pay them?

Are they classically educated octopodes?

Well, Mr Burke, I disagree entirely. In fact, pequena massa de fibras musculares cardíacas modificadas que se localiza na união da veia cava superior com o átrio direito.

So there.

And Surreysinger, don't you agree that old Flocos lost it completely when he went electric?

Ugh, I can't believe you just made me watch snailporn! At least they didn't take their shells off.

Meanwhile, what did the slug say to the snail?

I thought everyone KNEW that Massa de Fibras was a union activist. He and Atrio Direito formed the União da Veia Cava Superior, organising the better sort of fizzy wine makers. He wrote the moving Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal during this period.

My understanding was that the particular localiza of the união da veia cava superior that de Fibras headed up was considered to be a scab outfit. According to Algumas Dezenas, in her definitive biography, "Massa de Fibras: Um Conjunto de Grande Comprimento", Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal was taken up as the strikebreaker's anthem during the Great Fizzy Wine Strike of '54.

When I was at college there as this kid who used to light his own farts. Anyway one night, he got blowback, and they rushed him to hospital with internal burning.

Don't do it. folkmusic that is ....get a proper job. Think about it again when you're sober.

It's a shame this useful compendium of fascinating information wasn't available back then: Facts on farts. If it had been you friend would have realised that one in four fart lighting escapades end in anal injury.

There you all go, making jokes because the Mr Hyde who wants to cut someone's throat over a melodian player's finger work or an attribution disagreement is just dying to get out. He's still there with 1 9 5 4 tattooed on his knuckles, just you wait.

Thanks for that life-changing (and arse-saving) info, ESM. And just how does farting relate to musical performance? Why with Le Petomane, the Fartiste, of course.

Cheers, Leveller. Just spent a very enjoyable lunchbreak with Le Fartiste. Good to know he was a firm favourite of the King of Belgium. There's a deep significance in that: I just don't know what it is yet...

By the way, does the 54 definition cover anal as well as oral transmission?
