When Farts are like Bullets. Jun 2nd, 2015 at 11:41 AM. A thousand years ago, somebody wrote:. Atá ben is tír. Ní abar a hainm;. Maidid esi a deilm. Amal chloich a tailm! Which you could translate as:. Theres a woman from this area. I wont mention her name. But her farts fly. Like stones from a sling! Anyway. Bloody rain. Am I right? PS I found the quote here. And have altered the translation a little to suit my own taste. 8 comments Leave a comment. Jun 2nd, 2015 01:40 pm (UTC). It is cold today. Have y...

The Drowner Hits Facebook. Hard. May 8th, 2015 at 3:13 PM. Yes, a cursed flu type thing is keeping me off the internets, and yet, older versions of me are still out there, still causing havoc.
