If you can make me believe that 'hole' and 'knows' are French words,
then it could be a French version...

Like how - you let her wait and she keeps insisting you're

Anything pre-packed has a home made version afaik.
At least anything pre-packed originally must have been invented by
someone, making it home made to begin with.
Whether they're better depends on taste really - they're a bit tougher
and fatter.
I can make home made crisps (chips) too, but I do prefer the
artificially flavoured pre-packed supermarket ones :-)

Will only help if you're determined to go inside your own house. What
if you're invited into someone else's? Really, the only true solution
is to remain conscious.

Afaik they didn't. They're still called Scotland, not England.

I'd say the unguarded nuts would have been enough to be
distinguished...

That's not travelling, that's living on the edge!

"sort of aim at it" - that explains a lot every time I had male

No! Anything but a place that starts its name with "Chez"!
Just don't have it that fluidic. Balance the fluid and the chow so
that you don't need the dog later.

You refer to yourself as 'they'? How many of you are there in they?

Nothing wrong with clubbing. Just make sure you leave your club at
home, as the use of it for picking up women is frowned upon these
days.
