Easy Question for a WIS...

Newbie question....

How do you say/pronounce "WIS"
  • Wise?
  • Wizz? Like fizz*
  • Weeez? like freeze

*my guess.

Thanks in advance.

First order of business:

We have the right and duty to misspell words as we please.

If any one doubts our spelling skills we will reach into our wallet and pull out our membership card show the that we are a prestigious member of S.L.U.T.S! That will show them.

Second order the S.L.U.T.S business:

We reserve the right to hijack our own and only our own threads. If we deem so necessary.

Any Secondeds?

I hereby nominate Art as the Head Panda in charge of chewing bamoo. In the event that Art is unable to chew bamboo, Jon (Baptisman) you will have to take one for the team on chew bamboo on behalf of Art.

Mark,

I have no idea on how to post your awesome card on our social club site. I am, as you well know, a stupid limey. Please post awesome picture at said place at your convenience.

By the way, do we have enough bamboo for Art to chew? I thought I ordered enough earlier this week, but man, can that Panda chew!

Apologies to toph,

This thread (in which I started) has been hijacked by myself into a shameless self promotion for the newest and coolest social club on TRF, "The TRF Club for Stupid Limeys* (S.L.U.T.S.)". As you have already joined said club, I hereby say welcome!

I nominate toph to be in charge of beer inventory, as the position of chewing bamboo is already taken.

Anyone second this nomination?

4:20am to be precise.

Toph "keeper of the beer",

Do we have adequete supplies of beer for our Sunday to Monday binge? Art is brining the bamboo. Personally I am sick of that "papery" taste but he seems to like it. Could you also wake up Jimbits, I have a position open for him.

Toph,

PM was sent, but if you could also oblige and send one as well it would be greatly appreciated.

You drank all the beer? Shoot! Tequila or Rum?

Toph,

Save some Rum for me then. Forgot that my stomach no longers likes Tequila due to hours of chucking or something like that.

Sad to say, but its time for bed. Cheers!

P.S. I grant you the title of "Ambassador of Invites". Duties include inviting qualified or unqualifed prospects to join, "The TRF Club for Stupid Limeys* (S.L.U.T.S.)". I wholeheartedly trust your judgement.

I've got one question. Do any of the other social clubs have a card?
I think not. Many will be jealous of our S.L.U.T.S. membership card.

You know how they say that life boils down to a few key moments? I think Im experiencing one of those moments, right now. Its a proud day for S.L.U.T.S. everywhere.

By the way Spark, dont forget to invite Bubba. He can be in charge of overalls and chewing blades of grass.
