Default Overeating

Any reason why the troll keeps being fed? The easiest way to dismiss a troll is
to ignore it, yet our very own keeps being fed again and again and again, so it
comes back for more. Killfiles are a wonderful device if it's difficult to
ignore a post when you see it...

Festive cheers, helen s

You get rid of trolls by taking their cooking pot and sealing the lid on
with clay.

Or by indulging in an eating competition where you cheat and then have a
'cut the stomach open to make more space' challenge.

Both methods are recorded as having worked well.

The final alternative is to keep them talkn gtill daybreak at which point
they turn into stone.

Ah, that does seem to be the method that some are attempting. I am not
convinced it is the most effective.

half pints confused. Or something.

Somehow, 10cc seems more appropriate...

Sorry... It's been fun, but it is just getting abusive now. Looks like
it may be time!

ITYM turned into tasteless plastic trinkets and sold to gullible
touroids in Norway... Am just back from a week's XC ski and somehow
managed to resist the temptation to start a troll collection, it's
almost bad enough that Franklin Mint can be forgiven! ;-/

Did bring back a couple of kilos of festive pickled herring though, and
Word Of The Week is given to "Julstress", which means exactly what you
might think (once you've remembered to pronounce the 'j' as a 'y').
