By the year 2020 the Acronym Thread will have been moved to the US site.

this is another prediction made by Mastic Mugg, after careful study of the activities of the Thought Police and their claques of Running Dogs and Trotting Jackals.

My Dear Erskin

You neglected to mention 'sporatic nastiness' and 'slathering.'

Happy To Help

That's because I wasn't talking about those things.

Who's trying to move the Acronym then? They will get a thud up the testicles if I have anything to do with it.

There, you've been told.

What's an acronym?

Aliens Came Running Once Neptune Yodeled Marmalade (ACRONYM)!

PoM

Nice one Philbert!

Be careful though - you'll be accused of being a slathering dictator next.

Acronyms is a serious business mate

Good man, Arm. Stand firm against the forces of Imperialist Thought Control and their Running Dogs.

Freedom's the thing, mate.

Sorry chaps.. We had a mate round last night so I got gloriously pissed  instead of taking my part in the great Freedom debate. I apologise for going AWOL.

Like a gathering tornado, you could sense it coming. The sky slowly going dark until suddenly, there he was!

Fergie circling overhead. He sniffs carrion does Fergie. They say his beady Hibernian eye can spot a rotting corpse from 20 miles, even though he normally feeds on warmed-up ravioli.

Anyway, Monkey I thoroughly enjoyed your 10,000th acronym. Rather noble, I thought. Better than earlier masterworks like .. Ejaculates jizz and cum under labia.

And now Acronyms have moved onwards. 10,005+. Well why not indeed? Why not 20,000? There's nobody ever going to stop anybody doing anything on the Spoof. That's a given...

And no need for these ridiculous displays of blind, cussed belligerence... to defend what has always been a perfectly well accepted state of affairs

My dear Erskin, I'd like to say this. We did try. Honest, we did. From where we sat, them acronyms had long since gathered more than a whiff of body odour. A sort of stale, rancid pong.

But how do you tell your friends they're making themselves increasingly unpopular? That so many others have moved on, wanting to help create something 'fresh' on the Spoof masthead?

Actually, I thought we were rather decent about it all. Like the good chums we are, we dropped loads and loads of hints. BO's a sensitive issue, particularly amongst the family.

And what Skoobie's said again and again is absolutely right. Nobody was ever telling anyone what to do. That, I'm afraid, is rather an unworthy interpretation, which I'd expect from some quarters, but not yours Erskin.

And actually, I'm sure it was said somewhere (if it wasn't it should have been) that we all recognise that Mr Quint has always poured copious amounts of creative energy into lots and lots of other threads that surrounded those turgid acronyms. Many of which he started.

So it was always likely to be a tricky one. And totally unfair, in that way, to associate Erskin with something that we, quite separately, found malignant.

Ark at ol CJ! Who the fuck does he think he is eh.. Er.. I'm trying to make the peace my friends..And I haven't much time this morning..

But really, let's cut the pretentious cobblers about Freedom Fighters.

Reading through the threads this morning, there's already the unmistakable music of Che Guevara and the suffragettes hovering over Lancaster. With Martin Niemoller on the slide trombone and Nelson Mandela plucking away at the bull fiddle.

Much as another one of your Acronymite chums would wish, we're not casting for Joan of Fucking Arc on this occasion..

I hope this helps to draw friendly conclusions under this non-event.

And now I'm off for the day...

to fold like a woman and play further games with my fellow spoofers..

Best regards

CJ

Gloriously eloquent enemy, that's half a nearly kind statement!

Seriously, that's a gracious and I hope peace-keeping post Colonel.

Yes surely it is time to accept our differences and move on.

What I have done here is

• defend our right to use a thread that's no different to any other thread
• definitely fight fire with fire by using satirical 'freedom fighting' posts, throwing it back at you

If you interpreted anything as belligerent, then perhaps you might also review your own communication methods, which certainly appear belligerent and intimidating at times. You and Skoob are powerful figures on The Spoof. Rightly so, given what you put into this place (and you have my utmost respect and support with all that), but your eloquence and power can scare and influence others.

Thanks for that post though and for the kind things in it, and let's just move on to more productive activities.

sincerely

We're meeting up for tea and biscuits this afternoon in that London. It's a pity we can't all be there. As Lynton once so eloquently put it - "I think you could sit everybody who writes for the Spoof together in a bar, and they'd all get along like a house on fire."

I think he's right about that.

All that remains for me to do on this topic is to reply to Fergus, then I'll draw a line under it.

As for influential? I don't think so. We're all equals here.

Intimidating? I wouldn't say that either. The confrontational types have mainly moved on. Given what they said about some of us after the Dorking book came out, you can't blame us for being a bit wary.

Pity you can't all join us this afternoon. I'm sure you'd enjoy yourselves. They do say that a bit of slathering is good for the soul.

Skoob.

I like everybody with the exception of Dickie Davies out of World Of Sport who, I'm convinced used to masturbate furiously under the desk whilst announcing the wrestling and who I've always thought of as having rather unpleasant hair.

Do I win £5.00?

We'll be at the pub in a couple of hours. I'll be the one in the hat.

Laters

Skoob.

I'm on me way - and I'll be the one in the hat!

^^^^^^^^ facist bully boy.

So will I!

How your choice of millinery both sickens and delights!

I smell a rat. No, its those bunch of hooligans in the Cole Hole. I have alerted MI5 and they wil be there shortly. In SKOOBS case, very shortly.

Sorry I could not make it. Hope you have a great time1

I never had a chance. Slaughtered I was. Terrible business. I got told I talked like Terry Christian (No offence Terry - but most of us don't actually sound like you - or Liam Gallagher) and then some right proper bunch of Gooners only tell me that I look like Arsene Wenger!

Told 'em to fuck right off - for some obscure reason they wanted a picture with me. No idea what that's all about.

Strange place that London.
