It depends if they are skipping on a toothbrush following a heart attack after crashing into a babywalker in which case the answer is a slice of soup, but not in a leap year.

"Today the schemes of the renegades to vilify socialism are becoming more heinous and frantic, their aim being to justify their perfidy and check the rebirth of socialism. The fact that they are defaming socialism by calling it 'totalitarian', 'barracks-like' and 'administrative and commanding', even now when socialism has disintegrated and capitalism has revived in many countries, serves as clear proof that the renegades of socialism are the stooges of imperialism."

- Kim Jong-Il, Dear Leader of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, and Chairman of the Korean Workers' Party, writing in "Abuses of Socialism Are Intolerable", Pyongyang, 1993

"We must establish the habit of working and living in a prepared and militant way in every sphere, full of revolutionary vigour and ardour, and opposed to senility, stagnation, idleness and laxity. Party officials and members must also have revolutionary optimism and a strong desire for work, and give full play to their creativity and zeal, so as to push ahead with all work energetically. At the same time, they ought to acquire high cultural attainments and live optimistic, cultural lives."

- Kim Il-Sung, Great Leader and President of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, in "The Historical Experience of Building the Workers' Party of Korea", May 1986

"There is an ancient Chinese fable called "The Foolish Old Man Who Removed the Mountains". It tells of an old man who lived in northern China long, long ago and was known as the Foolish Old Man of North Mountain. His house faced south and beyond his doorway stood the two great peaks, Taihang and Wangwu, obstructing the way. He called his sons, and hoe in hand they began to dig up these mountains with great determination. Another graybeard, known as the Wise Old Man, saw them and said derisively, "How silly of you to do this! It is quite impossible for you few to dig up those two huge mountains." The Foolish Old Man replied, "When I die, my sons will carry on; when they die, there will be my grandsons, and then their sons and grandsons, and so on to infinity. High as they are, the mountains cannot grow any higher and with every bit we dig, they will be that much lower. Why can't we clear them away?" Having refuted the Wise Old Man's wrong view, he went on digging every day, unshaken in his conviction. God was moved by this, and he sent down two angels, who carried the mountains away on their backs. Today, two big mountains lie like a dead weight on the Chinese people. One is imperialism, the other is feudalism. The Chinese Communist Party has long made up its mind to dig them up. We must persevere and work unceasingly, and we, too, will touch God's heart. Our God is none other than the masses of the Chinese people. If they stand up and dig together with us, why can't these two mountains be cleared away?"

- Mao Tse-Tung, Chairman of the Chinese Communist Party, in "The Foolish Old Man Who Removed the Mountains", writing in Selected Works, Vol. III, p. 322, June 11, 1945. The two mountains in the fable represented the historic enemies of feudalism and imperialism.

"The portentous advice and methods of the conceited intellectual who is divorced from life, from practice, are sterile; they produce nothing, neither bread nor boots, nor butter, neither meat nor houses. Such an intellectual displays nothing but his unhealthy intellectualism, the great deficiency above all in his ideological formation with our Marxist-Leninist world outlook, as a result of which he does not know why he works and whom he should serve. Therefore, if the working class and the cooperativists want to help such an intellectual, in order to correct him and educate him, they should put him to work together with them so that he gets up to his elbows in oil, mud and manure. What is important is the fact that this dirt cleans the stains of the past from the consciousness, prevents the noxious weeds of the bourgeois and revisionist ideology from sprouting and running wild. If there is some intellectual who does not like this and does not correct himself, then, rightly, the working class and the cooperativists should refuse to give him bread, shoes, or a room in which he can lay his head to dream and philosophise. Why should our working class amd peasantry be soft-hearted towards such people, even though they may have emerged from among their own ranks? Why should they be unduly gentle and allow themselves to suffer serious damage and hinder our advance through sickly sentiment? Is this in order to allow a stratum of saboteurs and plotters against socialism to be created among us? It is unthinkable that we should ever close our eyes to such a thing and allow it to happen. In these cases, pity is an expression of petty-bourgeois sentimentality and very harmful. The working class and the cooperativist peasantry want work, honesty, check-up and rendering of account by everyone.

I am the ******* son of Enva Hoxha.

(See if there's a tick box for Cambrio-Albanian on the bleeding Census Form - I thenk'yo. Di'olch.)

[brachiopod]

Oh, wearisome guardian of all profanities...

I meant 'illegitimate' or 'b*stard" if that avoids the situation.

Didn't realise AB-Ed was on the **********. (As in someone who watches over the night)

See, I can say 'wris****ch'
and 'hot water' but not (let's try it) '*************' as in someone a bit like a security guard who watches over things at night.

But I can't ask "who had a hit single in the 80's" by saying " who's 80 '* *** single was......"

Still, it's a long way from Enva Hoxha......

[brachiopod]

Well, apparently I can't say wristwatch, (as in the small portable clock one wears around one's scaphoidal area)

[bernardo]

The AB Editor is not on the nyte wotch. The big-brother-style censorship of naughty words like "schitt" and "tuuat" is done automatically by the computerised thought-police.

Obviously writing a word like "nigh * *** cher" is deemed more subversive than Stalinist propaganda.

[brachiopod]

bernardo, I've been looking all over AB for you.

The whole point (or non-point) of my rant was merely wishing to convey that I was the illegitimate son of papa Enva himself.

(cue the curious asking 'who is En-Var Hocks-A?)

[bernardo]

Yes I know it was.

(Cue the pedants pointing out that "xh" in Albanian is pronouned like "j" in "jam" and therefore Enver Hoxha is pronounced "En-ver Ho-dja" as in bodger as in Margaret Hodge.)

[bernardo]

Down With Gravity!
Up With Levity!
All the workers, soldiers, peasants, students and progressive intellectuals should vigorously unite and be constant in their eternal vigilance against decadence, apathy, passivity, senility, bourgeois sentimentalism, laxity, conservatism, self-indulgence, stagnation, idleness, conceitedness, opportunism, skepticism, personal pleasure, comfort, and luxury!
Struggle Against Fatuous Slogans!

That's all folks!
