Anyway so I thought I would share this great news with everyone!

The other day I saw a sweetcorn. It was just like the sweetcorn you have in Britain! What is your favourite sweetcorn? I think this is the kind of thing we can all talk about. I must say, this is probably a coincidence, but if I see any of you in person, I would probably give you a sweetcorn. I usually have one about my person at all times. One time I didn't have one and I met someone and they had to leave without one. Of course we are not friends now.

The other thing is that I picked my nose and ate it. What do you all think about that?

LOL

how good do you think this sweetcorn would be at countdown?

Best thread in c4c, gevc, and talk4 Countdown history.

Yeah, very funny Charlie. What do you do for an encore? Kick the crutches out from under cripples? Pick on someone who gets the joke or you're just a bully.

Maybe it's better if the subject of the joke (Jono) doesn't get the joke, so at least he won't get upset about it.

At least me, you and Jason Larsen can have a laugh about this at Jono's expense, because we all understand it.

Actually, I was being a sanctimonious twat which I put down to my inebriated state at the time of posting.

Sweetcorn? I think I can figure out what that is, but please keep this discussion nice. I don't want this thread to be locked because of this discussion being not so nice.

By the way, if you want to hear more about my situation, please talk to me privately.

I'm glad to hear that though, Charlie.

People thought I was bad.

Yeah, but you were rarely witty with it.

Did I mention my corn-on-the-cob observation - or cobservation, if you will - on the old group?

Would anyone like to hear it?

You must have low standards of wit (regarding this thread, not any of mine).

I would like to hear this cobservation, Jon, and if you have any other corn on the cob-related stories or anecdotes, I would very much like to hear those too.

Admittedly Reams does use his sense of humour more like a sledgehammer than a sniper rifle, but it gets the job done.

Okay. This is completely genuine as well, and I discovered it, so no plagiarism please. The only reason you haven't read about it in scientific journals is because I'm too lazy.

Blokes eat corn-on-the-cob "typewriter" style (i.e. lengthways) whereas women eat corn-on-the-cob round and round in little strips. I first noticed this about 12 years ago at a BBQ, and it has held true ever since, with one exception which I'll expand upon in a moment. Obviously you can't tell people in advance that you are going to analyse their corn-on-the-cob eating habits, because they may alter their behaviour. Anyway, providing you silently observe, you should see this pattern hold true.

The one exception happened last year when a male work colleague was eating his corn the girly way. I had already noticed many camp mannerisms though, and later investigation confirmed that he was indeed a bufty.

I can't think of any other corn-related stories at the moment, but that should keep you enthralled for some time.

However, my hunger for corn on the cob-related anecdotes is not yet satisfied.

My last post was completely and utterly genuine. I really have been quietly watching people eat on corn-on-the-cob over the last 12 years, and it's bloody true.

An interesting observation, Corby.

I eat it the homo way

Well you are ginger.......

I have sex with men and eat it like a typewriter (corn on the cob, that is).

(Just to give you another datapoint...)

I knew this would happen.

I have only observed this phenomenon in sexually active adults, so that may explain the Jono discrepancy. As I understand it you are just finding your way as a sexually active adult, you're probably a little confused. Give it time, and you'll soon be eating your cob correctly.

As for Michael, you're just some kind of perverted sicko

When you say "datapoint", you presumably mean "erection"?

When *don't* I mean erection?

If anyone has any other corn stories I'm all ears (you know, as in ears of corn)

I have some but they're way too corny.

I once emailed Quron asking them why they didn't call their quorn cornish pasties Quornish pasties.

Although I suppose that's more of a cornwall story than a corn one.

I notice in the Charlie Chaplin film Modern Times that he can be seen eating corn on the cob both up-and-down and round-and-round. Could it be that Mr Chaplin is, with Jim Jones and Clare Sudbery, one of the great bisexuals of the 20th Century?

Only if he was eating corn without giving thought to the eating method. Given that this was a scene in a film, I'd find it unlikely - it may even have been in the script.

He's actually being fed it by a machine, but he wrote the script himself and was happy to participate in the film, so I'm taking that as a tacit admission of homonefarietywankerness.

At least we all know we're in Mr. Reams's army, and he's our Charlie chaplain!

What about someone who's only tried one once, nibbled around one end and then gave up because it tasted strange?

In my experience the two are generally one and the same.

Is a cocktease like a striptease?

It's more like a wind-eze.

LOL ROFL PMSL LMAO.
