I was making a rubbish unfunny joke earlier about hooligans, which led me to dig out The Naked Civil Servant - glorious book! - and then halfway around the net for a little more on the Crispian use of the word ‘hooligan’. Because I don't think Quentin was a big football fan, somehow: he's using it to mean something else, but what, precisely? Anyway, all the online definitions I could find were of the fat-bellied, piggy-eyed, violent meathead variety. Alas, poor word. So I rather feel like reclaiming it for the Crispy misfits of the world.

Your explanation is quite wordy. Verbose even. I find many things in it to which I cant relate. Shall we talk about candy?

I like gummy bears

woo keg. 3-2 is a good score. it's what we won by last week!!

er, sorry.

can't i be a 'hooligan' *and* a 'crispy misfit'?

did you mean this kind of thing, bh?

or this:

In Soho-the hooligan district of London-there lived a woman known to her fellow hooligans as the Countess.

Odd. Very odd. I will have to learn more.

Yeah. “Soho - the hooligan district of London”. That’s the stuff. There’s a whole load more such references in the book, but no proper definition that I can find. It's set in the 1930s, and I'm thinking it's Hooligan as a kind of bohemian, except that bohemians have a profession, ie art, and the hooligans don’t, not really. Oh, I wish Haus was here, I’m sure he’d be able to explain to us what the original Greek cognate word meant, and therefore what a horrific aberration yer modern football hoolies are.

BiP, Keggers: if you’ve never read The Naked Civil Servant, it really is the bee’s knees.

I hated T3. It just didnt cut it for me. It looked like a canadian made for tv movie with a bigger budget.

I also hated T3. If you lick a gummy bear and stick it to the wall and leave it for a couple days, then yank it off, you'll take away a hefty chunk of plaster. These two statements are unrelated.

oddly enough, after watching T3 I felt like a gummybear that had been licked and left on the wall for three days only to be removed and found myself holding naught but a large piece of plaster. But thats just me.
 
 
Mazarine
01:33 / 12.04.04
What color gummybear?
 
 
Saint Keggers
01:35 / 12.04.04
Red. (and not a happy red either)

Not seen it. But I'm guessing it doesn't get the Keggers thumbs-up?
 
 
Saint Keggers
01:49 / 12.04.04
No. Nothing on Keggers was remotly up in regards to that movie.

Its a sad night when even MeMom won put a smile on my face. :(

At least I can still watch Charmed for all its magickally deliciousness!
