Stormy, husky, brawling,
City of the Big Shoulders"

'Distinction'. Is the emphasis on the second syllable?

Mr. Freak, sir, might I respectfully suggest that this a Revolutionary
War snurdle. The actual design was borrowed from the Shawnee, whose women frequently used these to gouge the testes from their captives. The French, always interested in new ways to emasculate themselves, knew a good thing when they saw it, and these enjoyed a brief but enthusiastic popularity on the frontier. The condition of this example is unfortunate but typical... ordinarily these were sold all rusty with a wooden handle.

I came by this information from a Chinese gentleman who sold me a whole box of new, rusty snurdles for only $300. He was a real expert.

Gentleman,

This is a simple flat butter knife / serving knife that has been magically transformed into the perfect snurdle to which I use my magical powers to cleanly snurdle the perfect amount of cream - each time of course...


standard international units of measurement are no match for my snurdling capabilities...

DAAAANNNNGGGG !!!! Stimpy. That's the freakin' shnizzle, g-money!
A real expert indeed. Was he very very old with a Fu Manchu moustache and creepy knarly long fingernails?


Hmmmm .... boy that sure was a steal of a deal that you got there.


Would you possibly be willing to part with any of those? Sell, trade, barter, corrupt the government, whatever?
