John Barnes

The John Barnes is a tactical approach to team games or strategic board/computer games. It refers to an attempt by the aggressor to outflank or attack their opponent to the rear, or to infiltrate their defense.

It refers to John Barnes the English footballer who famously rapped a portion of an official England football song a section of which went as follows.

"They will hit you and hurt you, defend and attack. There's only one way to beat them, get round the back"
When faced with a stout defense from 300 Spartans, the Persian king ordered his troops to John Barnes the enemy thus encircling them with the use of an alternate path.

Stupidest member of Congress. Best known for advocating killing of babies, loving Toyota, unintelligible lisping, and living with and fucking a man 30 years younger than him. Thinks it's okay to be gay, just only if you're a liberal.
"Dude, why is Barney Fag always reelected"

"It's called the double standard: if he were straight, the media would rip him apart for living with a sex partner 30 years younger than he is, but since he's gay he gets away with it."

Barney

Happened one day in the studio Dancing around in a do-si-do The purple monstrosity was waving his arms We were falling victim to his evil charms
He brushed against a candle and he started to smoke And now we're all laughing at the dinosaur choke Oh boy, Barney's on fire! It's what we've always desired We'll watch the flames get higher Just don't try to put him out Purple fur was flying ashes everywhere And all of the kids just continued to stare The guy inside the suit, he started to yell We probably should've helped him but what the hell
He threw himself violently against the wall He fell to his knees and he tried to crawl away Oh Boy, Barney's on fire!
This is our secret desire We'll help the flames burn brighter But don´t you try to put him out Oh boy, Barney's on fire! This is what we've always desired
Wont you help us fan the flames higher
And you better not try to put him out
Barney's no longer ignited We're feeling somewhat slighted He's laying in a heap on the floor We poked him with a stick cause we had to be sure HE WAS DEAD
"Everyone hates Barney dont they"
"Yea they do thank god hes DEAD"

Barney

The imbecile that invented this song:

"I love you, you love me,
we're a happy family,
with a great big hug
And a kiss from me to you
Won't you say you love me too?" No.
I hate you, you hate me,
let's all go and kill Barney,
with a knife and a gun,
and you stick it up his bumb,
now the kids are having fun.
