[07:22] cut [07:22] By the way, Guido wanted me to complain on his behalf in this judging session [07:22] But the tit forgot to tell me what to complain [07:22] I'm feeling people feeling rehashed! [07:22] 4ALL is cut [07:22] 4I bet even BETA is experiencing feelings of agression right now... [07:22] ah, good old happy wizzard :-P [07:22] keep [07:22] Cut [07:22] cut [07:22] cut [07:22] cut [07:22] EofS: I'm sure there are so many things to complain about, just pick a topic :-) [07:23] should we just imagine he's generally complaining then? ;) [07:23] Although I know it was generally in the area of the lack of variety of finalists [07:23] He is generally disagreeable... [07:23] * e_of_PI changes topic to 'COMPLAIN' [07:23] *complains about the topic change* ;-) [07:24] 4BETA is cut [07:24] 4From me, the CAPTAIN, or them?

[07:25] Remember what I told you [07:25] Neither would be the pedestrians. [07:25] civilised countries drive on the left [07:25] The roads will be the same [07:25] IT's the pavements I'd avoid [07:25] Cut [07:25] Well, blame Napoleon for that. [07:25] doggy: congrats, the modern version of the rite of passage into adulthood :-) [07:25] John - he gave me this complaint on Wednesday ;0) [07:25] Can't, he made such a good cake.

[07:28] This one doesn't really crack me up but it got a really high ratsy score witha lot of ratings so I felt duty bound to keep it in the finalists [07:28] 4COMPLEX is kept [07:28] 4That's *us* COVERED... what about the aliens? [07:28] keep [07:28] cut [07:28] neutral [07:28] cut [07:28] keep [07:29] (hmmm, is it just me or am I very "bland" with this contest thingie?) [07:29] Cut [07:29] 4COVERED is cut [07:29] Like I said, I find the contest rehashed. [07:29] 4You FORGOT annoyance, hatred, and and the desire to tar and feather you. [07:29] I entered a variant of the standard rehash for this comp. Can't even remember what it was though. Maybe I have a finalist, who knows? [07:29] Like I said, I find the contest rehashed. [07:29] Like I said, I find the contest rehashed. [07:29] cut [07:29] cut [07:29] cut [07:29] Cut [07:30] doggy: do you mean the punchlines are rehashed or the cartoon idea is rehashed (which it is) [07:30] change to neutral [07:30] Like I said, I find the contest rehashed. [07:30] The latter [07:30] (not that it matters) [07:30] The former too ;0) [07:30] 4FORGOT is so cut [07:30] 4Good. Then my MESSAGE is getting through.

[07:33] cut [07:33] I can see two comics similar to this one in the Sev Trek book alone ;0) [07:33] neutral [07:33] cut [07:34] Cut [07:34] cut [07:34] Like in crescendo ? [07:34] no [07:34] cut [07:34] crescendo is starting soft and going louder [07:34] EofS: It's a rehash of the one where Tryhard senses agression to the alien with a really angry face - but what's the second one? [07:34] glissando is when you start on one note and move to the next in a smooth way [07:34] 4SENSING is cut [07:34] A full-pager (on the opposite page) [07:34] 4You're getting WARMER.

[07:35] It was a slur when I played the flute I think [07:36] sometimes they do, but then all the signs and stuff are in english [07:36] I missed it [07:36] the full pager is not really the same, it's a different joke about the same person [07:36] keep [07:36] cut for would [07:36] I'm missed the line [07:36] 4WOULD is kept [07:36] whose line is it anyway? [07:36] well, you can do it with other instruments, but with valves and stuff, it's always a bit of a haggle [07:37] This weeks Twist was nice IMHO [07:37] 4ok, now moving onto vote4 stage. Here are the 7 punchlines left... [07:37] What was your first CLUE? [07:37] Are they COMPLEX and subtle too? [07:37] Good. Then my MESSAGE is getting through.

I quite like it cause I just like how the shark looks [07:37] vote4 newsflash [07:37] vote4 warmer [07:37] vote4 message [07:37] downward, right? [07:38] I like sharks, don't want to meet one in real life though [07:38] John - I said it's not the same, but it's reminiscint. Basically the same punchline to a different joke [07:38] doggy: but coming up with it was weird. I thought it was high time to do a Twist but there were no 'world events' to spoof so I just had to come up with a miscellaneous idea. [07:38] Emma, vote? [07:39] Itay - I'm thinking ;0) [07:39] Well, good for you! [07:39] John - and presumably this is before that guy was eaten off the Aussie coast by a great white... [07:39] I wouldn't brag about it, though. [07:39] So I opened up my ideas book, wrote down a bunch of locations (space, school, office, ocean), picked ocean, wrote down a list of stuff (fish, shark, seaweed, etc), then wrote 'braces' next to shark and bingo,there was your idea [07:39] vote4 message [07:39] shortest brainstorm I'd ever had [07:39] oh right, heard something about that faintly [07:39] Message is the winner.
