Among the delights of this project, of which there are many, I have been having an excellent time looking up <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mad_as_a_March_hare\" target=\"_blank\">bizarre old-fashioned misconceptions<\/a>, sifting through internet answers to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.eeggs.com\/items\/1928.html\" target=\"_blank\">why ravens resemble writing desks<\/a>, and delving into the delightfully ridiculous depths of Victorian slang.<\/p>\n<p>My dear nug, would you like to tip the velvet? Cram your arbor vitae down the red tunnel, perhaps, or go to bedfordshire with a wagtail where you can bury your whore&#8217;s pipe and your tiddle-diddles between cupid&#8217;s kettle drums before shoving Nebuchadnezzer through the roundmouth &#8212; unless you&#8217;re piss-proud. If you&#8217;re kinky, play the brother starling. Mandrakes might prefer to play the back gammon or visit the red tunnel. If you&#8217;re a dark cully, then you deserve the flap dragon &#8212; and keep your gaying instrument well away from me.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I am willing to entertain the suggestion that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.mookychick.co.uk\/lists\/victorian-slang-sexual-terms.php\" target=\"_blank\">this is faked or poorly researched<\/a> &#8212; but I really don&#8217;t mind if it is.
