Scrimmage is a 15th C variant of the word skirmish, (from Middle English skymisshen) which in turn is from an Ingvaeonic root - possibly Old Frankish *skirmjan. Skirmish has cognates in most NW European languages, all of which carry the sense of 'minor fight', and ultimately derive from the Proto-Indo-European *sker-.
The next poster has been known to clean their toenails with a bayonet.

Ha!
" "You'd better be careful, poppet, you're having so many good ideas your foot might fall off."
"Is that what happens when you have too many good ideas?"
"Oh yes. My brother, he had a good idea to cut his toenails with a scythe, and his foot fell off." "
The next poster has the DVD boxset of the series that snippet of dialogue was taken from.

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.
Hope you got your things together
Hope you're quite prepared to die
Looks like we're in for nasty weather

I think that is a splendid idea!
I did once cut my foot with a reaping hook, but I wasn't cleaning my toenails at the time - does that count?
The next poster likes home made bread.

I’m at work; dreaming of tree house designs, and faux Mansard towers for turning my 80's rancher into a haunted mansion for Halloween.
the next poster doesn't start work for hours

"Well, I don't really think that the end can be assessed as of itself as being the end because what does the end feel like? It's like saying when you try to extrapolate the end of the universe, you say, if the universe is indeed infinite, then how - what does that mean? How far is all the way, and then if it stops, what's stopping it, and what's behind what's stopping it? So, what's the end, you know, is my question to you."

Idle hands are the Devil's playground!

My lady is in training for becoming an herbalist and we are turning over a garden of our own to help supplement our need to purchase at the grocery store. Self-sufficiency here we come! In a few months we'll be acquiring chickens to free range for our egg needs!
The next poster also enjoys a bit of self-sufficiency!

Yes, caffeine.
The next poster often finds themselves in the grip of this horrifically addictive drug.

No, but I dearly want one. Or a scooter. (The hills around here are a pain to ride up on a bike)
The next poster wants to build and bury 'artifacts' in present times purely for the purpose confusing future archaeologists.
