How do I learn the art of bantering?

If the weather is anything like clement, I'll do laundry. Otherwise, I'll probably stay in most of the day. With the neighbors I have now, there's no reason to stay up late, guarding my property. I feel lucky.

I prefer engaging in clever reparte.

My sig line is about idle banter AND clever repartee..

Feel better but I don't like perry. Gave me a soggy head and inability to type for cripesakes.

How about idle repartee and clever banter? So how about a sample Francis?

Oh, wait, what's perry?

Pulled up well today despite to many rum and cokes Bathy. We're already well into the new year but the weather has turned on us, suddenly cold for this time of the year. I suppose you're having heaps of snow and below zero freezing conditions?

The most awful

It's fermented pears. Anyone ever had any? Don't. I would post a photo of perry but, I don't know how to post photos so that's that. It would prolly make someone pukey just looking at it. Like me.

You had too many rum and cokes, Dutchy? Good way to see in the new year. I can't imagine cold weather where you are now, when it's supposed to be summerish. No we don't get heaps of snow on the coast or below freezing. The interior of BC does. Why I don't live there Well ok, sometimes we'll get down to 18F but I can live with that.
So now I have to imagine you not outside in your lawn chair, with an umbrella for the hot sun, but snuggled up inside drinking hot toddies? Are you in Melbourne? Antarctic blast?

Average today should be near 9o degrees but we'll be lucky to make 70 degrees. I live in Adelaide which is on the coast, our interior is hot, anywhere between 100 to 115 degrees. You're right enjoying a hot cup of Earl Grey right now.

Well, guys, these last four days I went to a warm country and got a cold.

I took the cold to this cold country (it's freezing here!) but the cold didn't freeze my brain. How come?

Chicken dlowan.

Coulda been misunderstood.

Anyway, BIRD, apparently we taste like chicken.

Free bantering instructions available here?

OOooh, I could do with some of that!

That is cool for the time of year there. The weather is screwed up all over the globe I think. We are getting a lot more snow and ice than usual.

Good old Earl, yup, may have a cuppa later. Sounds a good idea. Our interior of BC gets hot in the summer. It's where Canucks go to get sun tans in summer. Alberta is a hot province in the summer as well. I like temperate weather in my old age.

70 degrees sounds wonderful to me. That is the average temp of our summer's here on the coast! Beer drinking weather, as well as shorts and sunscreen, and BBQ. Heck, Canucks BBQ when it's 50 degrees.

How do you know it didn't freeze your brain, Francis? What proof do you have?

Has anyone actually ever eaten an eagle?

msolga,

feel free to instruct!

you do realize you are soliciting bantering advice from a group of auzzies and a frog, yes?

(just wondering where you plan on plying yer trade...)

could not imagine better advice coming from auzzies and a frog. Maybe I can get the rabbit to come aboard too, as well as spendius and a few other crazies I've seen posting on a2k.

And you RH are welcome anytime!

An American, an Australian and a Canadian were sitting in a bar enjoying a few beers.

The American grabbed his Budweiser beer, knocked it back in one gulp, threw the glass into the air, and shot it with his handgun. As he set the gun on the bar, he said to the Australian and the Canadian, “In the great U.S. of A. we have so much money, we never drink out of the same glass twice.”

Next the Australian drank his Fosters beer, threw the glass into the air, and shot the glass with the American’s gun. As he was setting the gun back on the bar, he proclaimed, “In Australia, we have so much sand that glass is cheap, and we too never drink out of the same glass twice.”

Finally, the Canadian drank his Labatts Blue beer, grabbed the gun off the bar, and shot the American. As he was setting the gun back on the bar, he told the Australian, “In Canada, we have so many Americans, we never have to drink with the same one twice.”

Heard that one this morning over breakfast with my neighbours.
