I made a tool out of wood for a task...
Should we take this as meaning you have wood for tasking?
I don't have any tasking.
But I've got some sheep. You want some sheep?
Does offering people sheep for wood ever actually work if that person has been awake for more than ten minutes? It definitely did below that, but never has for me otherwise.
It only works when playing Settlers of Cattan. Ah, the many deals I have made with sheep for wood.
Ok, the double entendres of that sentence just buried me a little....
But I always ended up with too many sheep and not enough wood.
Lord, there's just no way to say any of this without sounding dirty.
*sigh*
There's nothing wrong with wanting a little more wood.
Did you ever try shaving your sheep and trading your wool for wood?
Then you can spank your bare sheep with the wood.
I like to lightly slap the belly of freshly shorn sheep. It makes a great sound and the sheep seem to get a kick out of it.
*smep smep smep!*
Have someone do the same to you. Oh yeah you may giggle, but is it delightful?...is it?
This conversation has gone to a weird, although by no means unpleasant, place.
Morte, the trick there is to declare that you have too many sheep and want to know if anybody wishes to trade you some of their "lumber."
and then there is the great way to pop the question: 
Oh my Gods, I almost choked when I saw this. You are the coolest person evar. EVAR!!! Can I snake this picture? Please?
Snake! Oh, it's a snake!
Old slang for sneakily stealing something, or quietly getting away from/with something. Regional slang, I guess. Never heard anyone except people from my hometown use it.
I've heard "snake" used like that here in NZ, and also in Victorian (or possibly early Edwardian) novels (where it's used by "street toughs"). I'd give you a reference, but I read so many of the damn things I can't remember where EXACTLY I saw it...
I'm still trying to introduce the word "Obscure" in this context, and it's working to some extent, which is funny, because it's far enough off the usual meaning that I can trace that it's my fault when people use it...
After that - your work is done.
Recollect, a Padre must.
Mourn the dead departed one
Throw the ashes, and the dust.
Don't go down at once - I trust
You will find excuse to 'snake
Three days' casual on the bust,' -
Get your fun for old sake's sake.
Yes, of course I looked it up. No, I'd never heard snake used in that way before either.
Inky, this inverting the subject and body of your message idea, I love it. It's only right that we see the headings first.
Oh, and one other thing.
"Snake" has been used in my (and my friends') vernacular to mean steal for as long as I can remember.
Agreed.
You're a weirdo alright, but not alone.

I Have an Enormous Stone Tool This seemed like a fun task, but pretty much immedietely I ran into a problem: it's impossible to find rocks laying around in the city! Feeling particularly metrosexual, I bought a bag of polished rocks at the japanes...
Well, I went off down the river today. The actual purpose of the exercise was to find gooseberry plants to stea... I mean liberate for my own garden, and also to harvest later in summer. Also, I was gathering rocks for another task... All about rocks...
My chosen stone is chalk. Wikipedia Chalk and you will find a picture of "The Needles". (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chalk). Walk west from where I work for 3 miles along the coast and you will see these rocks for real. The stone is everywhere her...
Used a stone and clay mixture to make a mold for making beads. It is a traditional method used in the Eastern region of Ghana so despite this task specifically mention the unnecessity of tradition my task happens to be. Essentially you take a sto...
Yabadabadoo! Okay, so cavemen didn't have shoelaces or hand saws but I'd say I did a pretty good job.
