[08:59] I EXCEEDED even my own expectations! [08:59] This talk of food is making me HUNGRY. [08:59] NAUSEATINGLY so. [08:59] I love it when a PLAN comes together. [08:59] And is AIN'T [08:59] 6ok, vote4 [08:59] vote4 PLAN [08:59] vote4 hungry [09:00] Vote4NAUSEATINGLY [09:00] Gah, so many lines... it's difficult for me to make up my mind [09:00] vote4 COOKING [09:00] whitestar: me [09:00] me 2 [09:00] vote4 exceed [09:01] me, between plan & Nasua [09:01] Arrgh, you'll understand [09:01] vote4 plan [09:01] final tally: PLAN 2 HUNGRY 1 NAUSEATINGLY 1 COOKING 1 EXCEED 1 [09:01] Anyone want to switch, argue for a punchline? [09:02] All over the place [09:02] I'd have to argue for them all *blush* [09:02] plan does have that extra a-team mission accomplished joke hidden in it [09:02] If it has to come to that, I'll consider switching 2 plan, but it'll have 2 be a good argument [09:02] hungry (and cooking) are closest to wayne's character [09:02] dang, it's easier when I choose all unpopular finalists, clear winners emerge easier [09:03] all unpopular? there used to be times where pots lines were so funny, that almost no line got cut! [09:03] I like PLAN; not only is there a "mission accomplished" in there, but a sense of smug satisfaction too [09:03] Plus the A-Team quote, of course ;) [09:03] which reinforces the smug satisfaction [09:03] Wiz:true, but a good 'un is nausea is also in his style [09:04] I'll switch to NAUSEATINGLY [09:04] 6FINAL TALLY: PLAN 2, HUNGRY 1 NAUS 2 EXCEED 1 [09:05] Remember that its also shorter, and not a "rehash" of someone's line [09:05] it's called an "homage" :-) [09:05] Meaning Plan [09:05] nauseatingly just seems more Wayne like and a bit of a word play which is clever [09:05] True, but how often is it used? [09:05] (Plan, that is) [09:05] besides, it clearly got in by accident [09:06] there was no preengineering between the line and the toon [09:06] how come? [09:06] I didn't pick up on the A-Team reference when I chose it as finalist but that's irrelevant [09:06] the toon wasn't made for the line, but it does fit extraordinarily well [09:06] even wayne's posture [09:06] True enough [09:06] how about Wiz and Thunder revote for either PLAN or NAUS and we'll see from there [09:06] just add a cigar and you're all set [09:06] how about no [09:07] well, we need to break the deadlock [09:07] or I'll just have to choose one [09:07] Coin? [09:07] Heads! [09:07] well, i don't like any of those two, so i won't vote for them [09:07] Coin is an option but I'd rather people choose than blind chance [09:07] thunder than - you have to break the deadlock [09:07] call it sevqueen and move on [09:07] Where's Wendy? [09:08] yeah, where's wendy ? [09:08] wendy doesn't want to do sevqueens anymore [09:08] and more importantly [09:08] she's boycotting it [09:08] is she an ateam fan ? :-) [09:08] Eep :( [09:08] the shoping line? ;) [09:08] no, she wouldn't get that reference at all [09:08] Last ditch effort How many other have been fit 4 PLAN? [09:09] i still think the luck between the right posture in the toon and the line popping up should be taken advantage of [09:09] vote4 plan [09:10] 6final tally: PLAN 3 NAUS 2 HUNGRY 1 [09:10] PLAN wins by a nose [09:10] more like by a cigar [09:10] heheh [09:10] speaking of which... :-) [09:10] 6last comp - Explaining the Sevtrix (yes, yes, I'll add a cigar) [09:10] does wayne smoke ? ;-p [09:10] OK.
