A thread specially for you spurios out there! ;D I've been thinking lately, and wondering what's happened to so many things. Like Salt 'n' Shake crisps, or that actor that played Manuel in Fawlty Towers. Those gobstoppers that used to cost 50p each and were like 3-inch wide cannonballs. Bucky O' Hare. In short, all those things that we used to see so much of, but that have seemingly disappeared, or at least gone into hiding. Spurios, where the hell are they, and how/why did they get there? Your challenge is to answer that question, for any subject you can think of. And I don't want the truth, I want entertaining!  |

The Spurios were invented in 1803 by Longleat's head vet, Bob Trollope. Using just a piece of string and a bottle of Cow & Gate baby milk he found he could entice small pupa into emerging in random ways.
The early Spurios emerged like tins of Heinz beans but as they evolved they became more like The Cheeky Girls. As the years have passed and genetic mutations have taken over you can now see the Spurios of today. They mainly live on messageboards with a footballing slant but don't get too close or they retreat into a whelks shell.

THE SPURIOS ARE A NOT FOR PROFIT ORGANISATION!!! <-- spot the "sense of humour failure"    Of course, Number 1. But you must remember there are *many* overheads to be considered. chicken feed. spleen insurance. chocolate fingers. medical check-ups. Besides wouldn't you pay £100 for a pygmy marmoset called Geoffrey? I know I would...  |

Of all the spurios, R O Shipman was by far the most prolific. R O Shipman was affectionately known as 'Shippers' by the rest of the spurious gang. This occurred after one too many 'are you Harold Shipman' gags by knobheads who'd never read Catch22, or possibly any other book for that matter. Shippers love of natural symmetry led him to take a job in shipping, this made him 'the Shippers who ships', and gave balance to his life ......... like two fat ginger kids on a seesaw. Shippers level of spuriousness was so high, it occupied every facet of his life. This sadly led to him becoming spurious himself, and means he only now exists as a collective delusion which is shared by Jules, H and A2V. The irony of this is not lost on the remaining spurios, as we spent many a happy hour spent trying to prove we were real and not imaginary to him. Shippers now appears periodically on the board when either A2V, Jules or H, is overcome with spurious thoughts and he breaks free!!

Ah Kman no there was a man who lived spuriosity to the full. A life of mad weird things that led him to disappear off the face of the planet. He's Sheffield's answer to Hunter S Thompson. |
