What's the story behind that ring? Any special reason why he always wore it? It's like in every picture with him. Any idea?
It was Jim Hutton's present
It went in the oven with him.

(Just in case you ask where it ended up).

:D

bitch, that's just sick. I've asked a simple, pertinent question.
Jesus Tittyfucking Christ, you people are so highly strung, trapese artists walk past you and get penis envy.

Here's some info:

At the crematorium, one of the many names they have for the oven is (newsflash) the OVEN.

Freddie went in one!

This is a discussion about his ring, no? That thing that meant a lot to him? Basically, what finer way of describing how much it meant to him can there be, by saying he took it literally to the grave?

You people claim to have an awful lot of standards but really - do not live up to them at all.

Its the way you said it that i didnt like....
You could of said "he took it with him to his grave" that sounds much better, do you get me?

Sure I get you.

Still. Wonder why they called me a bitch?
Line up for the 400m "Watch-Me-Not-Give-A-Shit", Stryder. If only this were the Olympics.
And to elucidate - the big fat grin at the end of my post was not a non-chalant middle finger aimed at the Reaper. Nor was it me saying 'hyuk hyuk', AIDS = 1, FREDDIE = 0.

Let's look at what I typed.

"It went in the oven with him".

I didn't say...

"He fried while it was still jammed on his bony finger".

Or...

"After he was done and dusted, he was still wearing it".

Heck, I could've even said...

"After they jammed him in the firebox, he was cooking with gas - and STILL had that bloody golden trinket on".

Nope - didn't say a one of those things did I? I merely said:

"It went in the oven with him".

Nope sorry. Don't really see anything offensive there - but I really do feel sorry that you found offense in it, it was really really not my intention.

After that I wrote (in case anyone asks) or something like that. I genuinely thought a thread about his ring (hyuk hyuk, the GOLD one, not that one) might wander onto the subject of where it went?

Fair assumption - though it turned into more of a self-fulfilling prophecy didn't it? Boy I could thought that one out better... :
And yes - the big fat :D I put at the end. That really was nothing, just me saying 'hi there, just a big friendly grin here, letting you know that I'm just JOKING, and that absolutely nothing I've just said is meant to offend you'.

I forgive you though Stryder, for mistaking me for one of those internet fatheads who's always out for a bit of a rise from people. BPP is one of 'em - I am not.
"Euphenisms are only for people who can't handle the truth."

Eh? What truth? Let's look at it - again! Because I've got nothing better to do, God knows...

-I said something totally reasonable, and some nut took it out of context. And now, in my infinite boredom, I'm having a bit of fun with it.

Easily handled!

he couldn't have said that - it would have been inaccurate - HE doesn't have a grave....a simple fact is stated and people get upset...ffs

Not that I trust Wikipedia any more than I trust the Indonesian Govt...

But here is what it has to say about euphemisms.

"A euphemism is an expression intended by the speaker to be less offensive, disturbing, or troubling to the listener than the word or phrase it replaces."

I don't see any of those in any of the posts above. Unless you're talking about my use of the word oven?
Again - no euphemism here because that's exactly what it is.

Ok - so I could change my description of it a little to better imply what it is I'm talking about, like 'body-cooker' or 'man-roaster'.

But then, if I did that I might *offend* someone! SHIT! Don't want to do that! You've got me in a fix here, sonny!

But then we're not even talking about euphemisms we're talking about a *euphenism". Ok ok ok, I won't pick on your spelling because if you look up a bit, I started a sentence with 'but'. That's bad form. ThomasQuinn = 1. Zebonka 12 = 1.

AAANYWAY... are we done here?
"a simple fact is stated and people get upset...ffs"

I've calmed down a bit, a little less coffee...
I can see why someone might take offense at a post when it has a big :D at the bottom. They probably thought I was making fun of their beloved God :
Seriously. Nothing fishy here. Now I'm just amusing myself.
more info abt the ring pls...
@Zebonka12

Guess.. you´ll have to "face it alone"! :-)))
Shoot for the moon... even if you fail you will land among the stars!
