At what point does it become a slobberknocker

hillbillypharmacist		2012-05-21 08:37:18 PM

You forgot argle-bargle, you incomplete twit.

MaudlinMutantMollusk		2012-05-21 09:13:09 PM

And then it got weird?

clancifer		2012-05-21 09:21:38 PM

Not bad, Subby.

Ed Finnerty		2012-05-22 12:03:24 AM

This article gave me for what police described as a headache.

haemaker		2012-05-22 02:39:04 AM

All this hoo-ha is giving me the abdabs.

hillbillypharmacist: You forgot argle-bargle, you incomplete twit.

He forgot pell-mell as well.

mamoru		2012-05-22 02:57:10 AM

Could you describe the ruckus, sir?

miss diminutive		2012-05-22 05:08:13 AM

Was someone challenged to fisticuffs?

Interceptor1		2012-05-22 05:19:30 AM

Go to war St Agnes, wil you chuckleheads cut it out?

DiRF		2012-05-22 05:20:38 AM

It's not a fracas until a horse starts barking like a dog.

Malivon		2012-05-22 05:24:07 AM

Clearly we need some roohaha and shishkoomba in this thread.

Deacon Blue		2012-05-22 05:42:44 AM

It sounded as if there was a squabble

A squabble? They're all dead.

Ohhhh, must have been more of a tiff, then.

It made a hullabaloo in my brain-thinker.

KrispyKritter		2012-05-22 05:55:40 AM

sounds as if jocularity was nowhere to be found.

Day_Old_Dutchie		2012-05-22 05:58:58 AM

He is being charged with domestic assault battery, assault and battery with a dangerous weapon, assault and battery on a police officer, assault and battery on a public employee (a firefighter and ambulance personnel), resisting arrest and disorderly conduct.

You said 'battery' four times!

jingks		2012-05-22 06:02:17 AM

No, I'm just not understanding banter at all well today. Give us it slower.

SkunkWerks		2012-05-22 06:11:14 AM

Stop frikkin' about! Else this may turn into a ballroom blitz!

Needs more shenanigans, with just a hint of tomfoolery.

How often can you say something comes with battery included?

Jon iz teh kewl		2012-05-22 06:29:22 AM

Mr. Burns: Use an open faced club. A sand wedge!!

Homer: mmm open faced club sandwich.

Mr. Shabooboo		2012-05-22 06:32:50 AM

What's all this then?

dryknife		2012-05-22 06:39:37 AM

If no one was running amok it was still a controllable situation.

JonnyBGoode		2012-05-22 06:49:54 AM

What was all the hooplah about? Did it ever become an altercation?

HaywoodJablonski		2012-05-22 06:58:50 AM

What's wrong with a good old-fashioned fight, subby?

NoblePatrick		2012-05-22 07:22:14 AM

Subby, you forgot a donnybrook(e)!

capt.hollister		2012-05-22 07:22:34 AM

Ah, but did it ever degenerate into a donnybrook ?

20 seconds...! well done

The Muthaship		2012-05-22 07:25:18 AM

I read an old coroner's report that listed the cause of death as: Precipitated a fracas and had to be shot.

Sasquach		2012-05-22 07:37:25 AM

Frakes?

//the picture, not him (nttawwi)

Zaltec		2012-05-22 07:39:19 AM

if they were fighting for 12 hours, wouldn't that be more of a marathon?

FTA: One man and one juvenile male were arrested around midnight last night; Roberto Jordan, 30, of 4 Avon Place, was arrested following the incident, which started at 12:17 p.m.

telling time, how the fark does it work?

maddogdelta		2012-05-22 07:39:48 AM

Approves. Figures that it was a real rhubarb.

MAYORBOB		2012-05-22 07:42:46 AM

But it never devolved into a Pier Six brawl -- Pier Five maybe -- but not Pier Six.

vudukungfu		2012-05-22 07:44:01 AM

JonnyBGoode: What was all the hooplah about? Did it ever become an altercation?

According to TFA, a dust up became a fray.

Amok! Amok! Amok!

RealFarknMcCoy2		2012-05-22 07:47:28 AM

I don't mind a bit of argie-bargie, but this sounded like a complete balls-up.

/Bonus: Those are actual phrases in common use here in Australia!

As long as things didn't get all higgledy-piggledy. Then it'd be a real mess.

maddogdelta		2012-05-22 07:54:42 AM

NoblePatrick: Subby, you forgot a donnybrook(e)!

That's not a donnybrook.

Now THAT'S a donnybrook!

ko_kyi		2012-05-22 08:00:26 AM

I would also add a dash of higgledy-piggledy.

soopey		2012-05-22 08:28:18 AM

Oh Haverhill, that shining jewel of the Merrimack Valley.

IrishBlunder		2012-05-22 08:42:21 AM

...wants to know WHAR THE "HELTER-SKELTER"? WHAR?

Hoboclown		2012-05-22 08:50:24 AM

That is balderdash to the point of poppycockery!

(Poppycockery is the tomfooleriest that balderdash can get!)
