[quote=“MaPoSquid”][quote=“Alleycat”][quote=“almas john”]A bit of Friday bollocks to keep me off the grog for a few minutes.

Which Forumosan is most likely to …

  1. … have a secret underground bunker full of high-powered firearms.
    Okami (ON THIS ONE I’m BEING DEADLY SERIOUS)

  2. … attend a peace rally.
    Maposquid. Just for the chicks.

Answers next week.[/quote][/quote]
I’m offended. You got me and Okami mixed up.[/quote]

God god Squid, I’d have thought you had a whole bunch of Halliburton shares in a cache somewhere but not a whole arsenal.

You’re wading through it now mate. Although “manure” usually refers to horse dung I think it’s fine to use it in a broader sense. I know my shit. :laughing:

Anyway, you blokes did well so here are the answers prematurely.

    [color=darkred]I was thinking of MaPo. (BlueFace666 is also a more than acceptable answer).[/color][/quote]
    Well, thanks for thinking of me, but really, it hasn’t been a secret for well over a year. :smiley:

Bugger. Not counting myself, I only got 40%. :frowning:

if Quirky was the flamboyant man with earrings and a very small Yorkshire terrier cradled in his arm, then no. Beautifully kept little dog, though.

:unamused: Humpfh. :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue: :stuck_out_tongue:

  2. … say “I prefer the term ‘amateur beer taster’”
    [color=darkred]Alan is right, it’s me. I’ll take Tigerman, but he’s a Pro. Actually, I’ve been on a low-beer diet since I moved to Taipei.[/color]

  3. … use the expression “food chain”.
    [color=darkred]One of Ironlady’s favorite expressions when talking about red tape and regs; she often says things like “go higher up the food chain.” I wonder how she is getting on in the U.S.[/color]

  4. …own a poodle.
    [color=darkred]I had Closet Queen in mind. Not a sissy perfumed poodle I’m sure, rather a half-poodle, half-bear Alaskan one that makes other dogs his bitch. I didn’t realize Alleycat had one. :wink: [/color]

  5. … have a poster of Ronald Reagan.
    [color=darkred]Yeah, Fred Smith would be the best choice, but there are other possible answers.[/color]

  6. … attend a peace rally.
    [[color=darkred]i]Juba, Fox, and I can accept Mother T as an answer.[/i][/color]

  7. … say “Aye, she was a big sweaty lass and she fair squeezed the fooking life out of me.”
    [color=darkred]Broon Ale, but it’s easy to imagine Hexuan or Sandy saying it. Or me!![/color]

  8. … be seen running stark-naked around the hills of Yangmingshan.
    [color=darkred]Could really only be Omni. From his posts it seems the lad likes to commune with Mother Earth by running around with his dangly bits in the breeze. I hope Muzha Man has put a warning in the new Lonely Planet book for any potential visitors to the park. [/color]

  9. … vandalize road signs that use Hanyu Pinyin.
    [color=darkred]Hobart, staunch defender of Taiwanese independence. [/color]

  10. … dump a truckload of manure on the doorsteps of the Taipei Times.
    [color=darkred]Wolf, probably helped by Brian Kennedy and Monkey. [/color][/quote]

What do I win?

It’s always about YOU, YOU, YOU, isn’t it.

[quote]ToeWins[/quote] Afraid not. I forgot to mention the necessary 80% pass rate minimum for a win. No worries, the consul… consa… the second… well the prize for the guys who almost won but didn’t is an invite to a piss up* at my place.

For our North American friends

  • a “piss up” is a slightly vulgar British English expression for a gathering focused on drinking (usually beer). An important ingredient of these largely-male gatherings is the hearty - but frequently aggressive and rude - banter between the drinkers: banter that usually focuses on sports, souped-up Ford Escorts, drinking feats, and inventing colorful new phrases for sexual intercourse, genitals, and visits to the restroom.

You forgot “copious and loudly-applauded vomiting”.
