@chordy posted a new topic, subject "The battered battering the battered". It read:

   yelling batters, beatings batter, drugs batter, doctoring batters, officers batter, wars batter, cigarettes and booze batter, eating too much batters, even dreams can batter. Do we just trade one battering for another?  
    Humans are gluttens for punishment. And if nothing else, the weather batters.

    I was watching Kung Fu the DVD
    
    the master in the temple told young grasshopper
    
    “If an ax blade never came up against a hard stone, it's edge would never sharpen”
    
    I know it's a movie quote, but I like it.

@chordy replied

    I never wanted to be an ax.

Then @chordy said

    I forgot the one that might bother szs the most - gossip batters.

@SurprisedJ replied

    Personally I like shrimp batter.   
    I am SO Sorry for that…
    
    I made two pots of coffee since I'm off work today.
    
      
    It's silly time…

@dandydinmot replied

    gossip batterers BE GONE, makes us pancakes instead do something useful!LOL

Then @chordy said

    pancakes are also useful

After which, @dandydinmot added

    if u catch gossipers at it pull a moonie! its what they were invented for.

After which, @chordy added

    but I LOVE my ass. And I expect it to be loved by others.

To which @dandydinmot replied

    show it to them give them something to talk about and shout ■■■■ u all while ur at itLol

So @chordy replied

    oh, you would mention the f word. Don't know the definition because it's so horrible no one will explain it.

To which @dandydinmot replied

    id rather have a cup of tea.

Then @chordy said

    I'll go along with that. We can learn to solve problems with a cup of tea in hand - even if I get so tense I spill it.

After which, @dandydinmot added

    if your not shaking your not drinking enough tea.

Then @chordy said

    since when will tea make me shake?

Then @77nick77 said

    BATTER UP!!.. Hey, batter… Hey batter, batter… Hey, batter, batter…SWING!!! My friend talked me into joining Little league when I was 12. I was out in left field chanting,“Hey Batter”!! I robbed a guy of a home run once when my friends were watching. They were impressed. It was just going over the left field fence and I jumped up and snagged it. I think we lost 21 - 2 anyway.

After which, @77nick77 added

    Want some fries with that shake? Wink.

So @chordy replied

    which brings up “Which is it? The cup or the tea?”

@77nick77 replied

    Hands down, The ginseng.

Then @Csummers said

    Who forgot the beer batter?

After which, @pretzel added

    Why did you write ginseng instead of tea?

After which, @pretzel added

    I did list booze. In case you didn't know, booze is slang for alcoholic drink.

So @Csummers replied

    Yeah, you did say booze. I must have read it too fast and didn't process the whole thing.

After which, @77nick77 added

    Ginseng is tea. I don't know,it just popped into my head.

@pretzel replied

    Isn't it a special kind of tea, though? Used as an aphrodisiac…

So @77nick77 replied

    Maybe, but that's not why I wrote it. Like I said, it just popped into my head.
