That's a common misconception. We're actually gremlins *unless* we are fed after midnight.

Also, is the feeding rule for gremlins time zone dependant or is it simply midnight GMT?

Even a man who is pure in heart
and says his prayers by night
may become a Gremlin when the KFC and BK bloom
and the moon (but alas, NO!...a space station!) is bright.


Or something like that...

Not possible. I believe the last Gremlin died when American Motors Corporation went under.
Alternatively, there is a theory that real gremlin's slowly died off of starvation...the rumor being that the bollocks of Englishmen were their only sustainment...but mainly disappeared after Thatcher left the political scene. (The remaining source at Hereford being too much trouble and near certain death for the little devils to try and get).

Rumor? Who knows?

That picture is of a rare American beast loosely related to Sasquatch (Big Foot). Its know as Louisianna Maximus Mouthus - Big Mouth.

What do you think GMT stands for? Gremlin Mogwai Time.

A growing portion of Americans feed constantly. There is no time constraint.

You know something?

I just cannot see the point of this thread unless I view it as a deliberate provocation of our US members.

Can you please tell me why you opened this thread Mace?

Seriously? Are you being serious?

Not that I have to justify myself to you but it's something called 'a joke' we sometimes have here at SimHQ. Off the back of the 'shoes in houses' thread I created this as a joke. All the US posters have replied and obviously understand it's a joke so don't try and start something here.....

Fully agree with Mace. This thread was done in the spirit of good humor and fun. Later tonight I plan on starting a "Do all Brits really have bad teeth" thread. wink

If it is humour, it is poor humour IMO. As an ex-Brit myself I understand British humour and this is not the humour I remember...there are too many connotations with recent tragedies in the States for my liking.

But if our US friends find it OK then what do I know?

You need to go and lie down a bit.... I have no idea what you are going on about.

Razors edge Mace. Doesn't bother me 'personally'.
Max just has a little more 'class' than I do.

If I was you, I'd hope it didn't bother anyone else, 'everyone' isn't as understanding as PM.
You like walking that line, same old story.
Ooops......!

Why do it?
