    A Pat and a Slap

    You may have seen this kind of thing somewhere, where they give out good jobs and bad jobs to things? Like the Colbert Report gives out Tips of the Hats and Wags of his Fingers, and stuff like that. So I thought of this while doing my English report. We could give out Congratulatory Pats on the Back, and Painful Slaps on the Sunburned-Belly. So if you get it here are a couple.

    A Congratulatory Pat on the Back to Sacharissa on here award winning book, Briarwood.

    And a Congratulatory Pat on the Back to Me on finishing my English report! Yay!

    And finally, a Painful Slap on the Sunburned-Belly to NBC or ABC whoever created the show Cavemen, on cancelling it. Shame on you.

    These slaps and pats can be for anything, authors, books, movies, tv shows, people, events, companys, or yourself, etc. Have fun, and have a Congratulatory Pat on the Back.

    (Um, if I spelled Congratulatory worng, will someone edit this and change it? Please?

    Ooh me, me ...

    I'd like to award a Congratulatory Pat on the Back to the South African rugby team for their win today that gives England a date with them in the final next Sunday. Mostly I give this accolade for the team's outstanding rendition of their country's staggeringly good tri-lingual national anthem () ... go on take a listen, it's worth 3 minutes of your life!

    And let's give a Painful Slap on the Sunburned-Belly to that scotch misery-guts to Prime Minister Gordon ( aka to some US senators as "Tony" :p ) Brown for not having the bottle to call a general election. To him I have just one thing to say: Win-dee! :rolleyes:

    LOL Mirelly, you like watching Rugby don't you? :p

    Right, I'm giving myself a pat on the back for finishing that pesky RE hand in. Now I just got to learn it all off by heart for the test in two days... :(

    I'm giving the person that invented German a slap on the sunburned belly. I hate that language. It's so confusing! :mad: We have a german test this week and I don't understand any of it. Plus my pronounciation is HORRIBLE! (Note that I have absolutely nothing against germans only I have a huge grudge on the Der, Die, Das words-- no actually that's an understatement. :rolleyes: I lothe the Der,Die,Das words and the rest of it. Grr... :gnasher:)

    ROTFLMAO, Muffin. One day this guy was bored so he thought hey, I'll invent something. I know, German! But I agree that all the die, das, der stuff is confusing. It's not limited to German, though. All the romance languages have gender declensions as well, which is just plain confusing. But I should talk. English is the most confusing language of all. Nothing but exceptions.

    Let's see ... back on track:

    A huge pat on the back for unsung sports heroes like Kevin Garnett, who my brother tells me donated enough money to build 24 houses for people displaced by hurricane Katrina. All we hear in the news is the bad, so it's nice to give props to the good guys too. (Might be old news, but it's new to me.)

    A slap across the face to my own government for its violations of the Geneva convention. Just want you non-Yanks to know, it wasn't with my consent.
