Well.. maybe badgers are.. symbolic of.. modern society! and the spoon must be the spoon of rampant cultural imperialism, making the poking the degradation of the human spirit.

man the internet is deep.

It's like when you get to 22 and realise you can't even claim being young anymore as an excuse. I'm just clinging onto still being a student for why I'm silly

22 is young.

And I'm scared by Dirty Marmite Spider only being 19. She seemed much more mature than that to me!

i say there's no such thing as original sin nowdays - you can pretty much guarantee that whatever you do, its probably already been done by somebody somewhere else. [Wink]

like they said on that video - "ain't nobody here invented a move - we're just manifesting shit at a different time".

i don't even like apples. or badgers...

badgers? BADGERS?! WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING BADGERS!!

Personally i think anyone under 30 is young, and i'm pretty sure in a few years i'll think everyone under 35 is young. But I can't blag 22 as being young when i get told off for something [Frown]

LOL What a response! I'm so glad enough of you cared enough to give it a try *sniff* [Big Grin]

Stebbins, are you alright? did you get away?
Keep 'em coming people, i'm sure we can find the right answer between us!!

Really, I'm waiting for Shadowsteppin and Firekitty to put in their 2c worth.... guys?
According to the strangest thing that ever happened to you thread , Eera was once chased down the high street in Clapham by a badger, to which shadow steppin replied:

quote:
did you try poking it with a spoon?

. In the same thread, i would also like to refer you to firekitty's sig: "-poke badgers with spoons!~" It seems as if these people are in the know!
