It's time to quiz the new admin.

Would you rather fight one emperor sized albatross, or an albatross sized emperor?

[–] [email protected] 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Albatross sized emperor, it would be madness to pick a fight with a large bird. Those things are vicious.

[–] [email protected] 13 points 1 week ago

Good answer. You receive +1 admin point 😁

Thanks for helping out keeping a normalised normality normal. 👍🏻

They can break a man's arm, you know

Barry. He has notoriously weak arms.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Nice. I'm ready for rapid overwhelming normalcy

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago

Move fast and carry on!

Most important question for your future planning for the instance:

Would you rather stub your toe every day for a year, or get kicked in the chest once by a horse?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I'm a fairly clumsy person, so I basically already stub my toe everyday.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago

Good answer! You've got my, entirely unnecessary, approval.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

Congratulations!

How many flamingos are you? What’s your collective noun?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago (1 children)

At least 4 at any time and apparently the collective noun for flamingos is 'flamboyance'.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hang on there, you’re not even a flock? Just at least four flamingos in a trench coat? I knew it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

How many flamingos is a flock, Sorites?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

When there’s enough flamingos to require a second trenchcoat.

But then does it become a flock of trenchcoats? What’s the collective noun for those?

Congratulations. And may I just say I have always been your most ardent supporter.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Congratulations! How bad was the hazing process?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Pretty bad, they made me fight an albatross-sized emperor with nothing but bread rolls.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Do you, as per a book my child has, turn a different colour if you eat food other than those coloured pink?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Yeah, it's why I keep a pack of pink wafers on my ~~person~~ bird at all times.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Can flamingoes be colours other than pink and white? If they consume a bunch of Jello or Kool Aid, can they turn blue or green?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Is there nothing flamingos can do?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 week ago

They can certainly do nothing.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

I'm sorry for your British, hope they find a cure

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Initiation ceremony is in the Coach and Horses pub in Doncaster at 3pm tomorrow. Bring your scalpels.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

ooh £2.00 shots

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago

Make sure to take care of the wankers!

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago

Congratulations, good luck keeping this rabble under control! 🎉

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Excellent, I can reuse the vetting procedure. Please state what you call a bread roll and if anyone disagrees then you can't be in charge anymore.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago

Baps, though I've heard those six-fingered savages across the river call them cobs

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I just looked up a map of bread roll names. I generally feel there are few wrong answers (perhaps because I've lived in different parts of the UK and had to change like a chameleon to.fit in), except "morning roll".

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

"Morning roll" sounds like the work of replicants. Or possibly just toilet paper.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I also use three rolls of bog paper a day and find it helpful to have them categorised up by the part of the day they'll be used in.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

With a bowel that active I'm glad to have you administrating, if only to keep you off the streets

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 week ago

We Emperors do our best work from the throne.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You're the real reason Thames Water ran up all that debt!
It wasn't paying dividends using loans, it was unclogging 3-rolls Emperor!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

Been a while since I've disgraced the porcelain down south.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 week ago

A 'morning roll' is kind of a different thing from your standard issue 'bread roll', though - bit more robust on the outside, which makes it better for containing hot food on the go. Kind of the opposite of a brioche, which is a waste of bread if I've ever seen it.
