I see alot of potential with a town known as Cockermouth.

"So has she talked yet?"
"No, she's Cockermouth"

Repeat, but a much much better headline.

Sister disease to hoofinmouth?

Excellent work with the headline!

LeroyB 2009-11-20 01:10:48 PM  
Sounds like it could be the beginning of a dirty limerick:

I once knew a girl from Cockermouth...

At the tone, the time will be 26 railroad.

I heard they were quite surprised by the 12" they got last night.
That's a lot of rain.

/12"

This sounds like a job for Maxx Large

So, do the residents of Cockermouth fish in Suck River?

Hundreds rescued from flooding in England, Ireland

Wow, I did not know there was an England, Ireland.

 
brap [TotalFark] 2009-11-20 01:25:29 PM  
You Cockermouth, you brought her.

 
GeekTheMighty 2009-11-20 01:31:04 PM  
I can't help it, I snicker every time I see "Cumbria". Come on! That's hilarious.

 
elev8meL8r 2009-11-20 01:32:26 PM  
Isn't Cockermouth and Cumbria a proggy sci-fi band known for elaborate concept albums?

I see this has been covered.

Huh-huh-huh. "Cockermouth".

/cumbria

 
Sliding Carp [TotalFark] 2009-11-20 01:38:48 PM  
What a song called Cockermouth might look like, if sung by the greatest post-punk band in the history of the universe, and performed by standins wearing masks of them.

 
OLD FARTK 2009-11-20 01:41:17 PM  
It's clear they should have swallowed.

Flooded dinghys invade cockermouth. Cumbria?

FTFY.

Warm rain?

 
HeckuvaJobBrownie 2009-11-20 01:45:18 PM  
Someone hit a herd of water buffaloes with their car nearby?


/I don't shower much

 
CygnusDarius [TotalFark] 2009-11-20 01:46:50 PM  
Ever been to Cockermouth?.

 
Lord Summerisle 2009-11-20 01:47:30 PM  
I once spent a happy week in Cockermouth on a school trip. Also weathergirl Louise Lear said "Cockermouth" twice on the news tonight. This pleased me.

It's the picture caption from the article, verbatim.

How about a lesser-talented stand-in for now 'til he gets here?

I once knew a girl from Cockermouth...
Hemisphere? Northern, not east or south.
With a speech impediment,
her home mired in sediment,
she hollered, "Oh, pleathe thave my houth!"

Hell no. Not nearly as funny.


/Cumbernauld sounds like "Hey Arnold" rule 34.
//yes, that does exist
///for bob's sake man, don't look it up!

 
zootsuit 2009-11-20 01:55:24 PM  
Thank goodness someone pulled them out of there. But hopefully they waited long enough. Nothing messier than an early Cockermouth pull-out.

 
Nebulious [TotalFark] 2009-11-20 02:05:08 PM  
I hear they have an intense rivalry with the town of Cockgobbler.

 
lurking_farker 2009-11-20 02:08:02 PM  
Or the classic:

"I went on a date in the Lake District."

"Cockermouth?"

"No, I hardly know her."

 
ctghostman [TotalFark] 2009-11-20 02:09:57 PM  
if you all bothered to read past the caption/headline, you'd know that the flooding was caused by the River Suck.

 
Bourbon Troubadour 2009-11-20 02:12:15 PM  
I hear they have excellent "duck sausage" there

 
medius [recently expired TotalFark] 2009-11-20 02:14:48 PM  
It was nothing like that, penis breath!

 
tinyarena 2009-11-20 02:16:24 PM  
I don't get it.
Cockermouth? Cockermouth? . . .oh...
Cock-IN-her mouth!
That's just nasty.
I mean, who would put their cock in a ladies mouth?

 
NeuroticMan 2009-11-20 02:17:37 PM  
I was listening to this story on the news this morning and when I heard the name of the town I thought to myself: "This is going to be on Fark today," and sure enough, here it is.

yeah, she might choke on the feathers

What is it with the whole british mindset on names thing here. The article states that the "Suck river was over it's banks". Cockermouth, Suck, I mean come one now. No wonder we went rogue in 1776.........

Gorgor...new material, please! Two days in a row isn't quote as cool :)

 
Highroller48 [TotalFark] 2009-11-20 02:43:30 PM  
Rescuers received muffled words of thanks from the townspeople...

 
Jim_Callahan 2009-11-20 02:52:20 PM  
A girl from cockermouth did say
that it seemed pretty wet on that day
dinghys went out and in
'till it flooded, but then
for a Cumbrian, that's just their way.
