Except that the correct spelling for the word is coprophagous whose defination means feeding on excrement..

Personally I don't want to have a conversation with a person where I am required to carry a dictionary to extrapolate the meaning of what is being said.


I'd rather speak my mind because it hurts too much to bite my tongue.

>¿Cómo andás, che?

Just give it a rest- please
Even before the clam prosciutto scandal this wet planet treated us poorly
But since those idiots started rewriting our history and taking our women
Murd culture is accelleratingly devolving back toward its bivalve roots
Murderisticizm will not cease until we are permitted our rightful duty of harvest
And the decriminalization and revival of the Snapdubbyterpsicorean ceremonies
But you smart guys know it all

We are just the average and not so average obsessive compulsive Seti/Boinc addicts that can
let their hair down. We don't generally discuss the finer points of code, etc. But if help
is needed we always try to find the answers. Having a sense of sardonic humor and a
thick skin are a plus. Fragile egos should not join.

We have no specific goals other than friendship; we like to make each other laugh,
either intentionally or otherwise.

Yes. It was a famous family of Murbs that founded our great city back when we were lowly savages eating off the land and living in mud huts. Circa 1923 ad..

As all us Brumies were village idiots and couldn't spell so we asked an educated man who was on holiday here from Ruerto Pico to write it down for us.

But we could not read either so pretended we knew what it said...

Being backward we called it 'Brum' and being upset the family of Murbs moved to that other famous city in these fair isles called 'Nodnol' and made that the capital instead.

Short words that everyone thinks they understand tend to defy exact definition.

Great beings need not know the pearls within
yet treasure the grain of sand from which they begin
