It's been kept, ok) [07:50] 6We haven't POTTY-trained Wayne yet [07:50] neutral [07:50] funny, but a bit close isn't it... [07:50] hehe [07:50] keep [07:51] cut [07:51] keep [07:51] Nemi: well, as the PIts has gone on, it's become more fiction than reality. Eg - Wend and I never had a kid at the Pits [07:51] Neutral [07:51] [INFO] Ping reply from Wizzard in 51.28 seconds. [07:51] Eek! [07:51] aw [07:51] (Hence my long period of silence ;0) [07:51] cut [07:51] So no, there was no reaction from the 'real Lance' cause after we got married, I hardly ever saw him [07:51] cut [07:51] Did Wendy ever ask if you wanted fries with that? [07:52] 4POTTY has been pooped [07:52] 6We'll have to SHIFT everything off the floor. [07:52] I was getting really curious what could have possibly inspired this [07:52] cut [07:52] keep [07:52] cut [07:52] what is it with the animal name Paw-Paw in the us...? [07:52] cut [07:52] I was thinking of what parents go through and all the mess that flats usually accumulate... [07:52] keep [07:52] Everyone likes the Jungle Book? [07:52] What inspired Lance's reaction? Actually, with the whole baby storyline, I made the decision to not plan too far ahead and I'm just taking it as it comes. I haven't even decided whether they'll have a boy or a girl (will decide at the last minute) [07:52] keep [07:53] cant remember what pawpaw is [07:53] fruit [07:53] 3SHIFT is kept [07:53] 6If we're getting a new roomy we should all get to VOTE on it. [07:53] "Now if you pick a pawpaw, or a prickly pear, and you pick the raw paw, the next time beware. Don't pick the prickly pear with the paw, if you pick the pear then use the claw" [07:53] cut [07:53] cut [07:53] keep [07:53] er [07:53] neutral [07:53] cut [07:54] cut [07:54] Cut [07:54] tongue twisting [07:54] So with Lance's reaction, that just happened - the previous cartoon just somehow naturally led into an angry reaction from Lance and this week's toon was the natural progression from that [07:54] So nothing inspired it so much as just the natural progression of the storyline [07:54] have you ever known anyone upset by a friend (sort of) having a baby? [07:54] Do you have any non-Madeline storylines thought out? [07:55] it's probably different if you live with them [07:55] I haven't thought past this current baby story. Why, would you like some non-Madeline storylines? Want me to stop jumping the shark? :-) [07:55] 4VOTE has been voted out [07:55] 6Evil? How many house RULES have *you* broken lately? [07:55] cut [07:55] eh... yes [07:55] brb [07:55] I would really like some non-Madeline storylines [07:55] how'd that get here [07:56] Although I think you'll find that wasn't my punchline ;0) [07:56] Nemi: no, I haven't known anyone upset by a friend having a baby. Have you? [07:56] :) [07:56] nope [07:56] you wanna use that line here too, john? [07:56] that's why I'm having trouble relating to this turn of events.... [07:56] Keep! [07:56] Emma: well, as soon as the baby story is done (it may take a while), I'll do one focusing on Wayne and Lance [07:56] Are they all still in uni? ;0) [07:57] whoops [07:57] the problems of two guys going to the movies...? [07:57] Ooh, I should check the cricket score [07:57] Last I saw we were 484-4 o_O [07:57] ey i gotta go - sooore... nigfht all. [07:57] 6okay, we've finished the Pits punchlines - moving onto vote4 stage with 5 punchlines: [07:57] I do BABES, not babies! [07:57] I'm the CUTE one. [07:57] The FOCUS will shift off of me. [07:57] A baby I don't mind. It's the baby talk that will drive me NUTS. [07:57] We'll have to SHIFT everything off the floor. [07:57] 6okay, vote4... [07:57] Ciao! [07:58] * DevonRex has quit IRC (Disintegrated: so long and thanks for all the ... marshmallows) [07:58] Em: yeah, you guys are crushing Sri Lanka - it's so one sided, it's quite boring [07:58] vote2 abstain [07:58] vote4 babes [07:58] vote2 abstain [07:58] vote4 shift [07:58] John - EmMA :0P [07:58] And I literally just saw that score as I went for lunch [07:58] Sorry, forgot myself [07:58] (or just E) [07:58] Do you think you'll watch your country's three games in the World Cup? [07:58] (Or just E, yes) [07:58] probably not [07:59] soccer? boooorrrriiiing! [07:59] But you muuuuust [07:59] with your goalie? definitely not [07:59] I could get use to EmMA.... [07:59] I watched all that bloody cricket last summer [07:59] back again [07:59] +d [07:59] so you should, it was the best cricket series probably ever [07:59] And Guido's right - with your keeper, you'll be getting cricket scores :0P [07:59] huh? how did this go from babies to cricket? Did they do more than just chirp? [07:59] Of course it was. England won :0D [08:00] 6final tally: babes 1, shift 1 [08:00] hmm, not much there [08:00] lol [08:00] and babes win with an overwhelming, earth-moving majority :o [08:00] well, if I vote for SHIFT... it is my line. [08:00] anyone not voted yet want to vote? [08:00] I didn't vote yet [08:00] Seriously John, watch iiiiit [08:01] I'm not sure john's vote should count, the idea of the JS is to take the choice out of his hands :P [08:01] If nothing else, so you can get the colours of the shirts right :0P [08:01] Emma: I might but soccer, it really is a drab sport [08:01] Is not! [08:01] It's the beautiful game! [08:01] The international language [08:01] vote4 cute [08:01] * Wizzard agrees with Emma [08:01] nemi: I don't think that's the point of the JS [08:01] vote4 cute [08:01] in democracy, even the prime minister gets to cast a vote [08:02] Take all of the stress and excitement and nerves of cricket and jam it into 90 minutes (and then a bit more) [08:02] well, I come mainly for the chat, but also some of that ;) [08:02] not if he's not a member of the parliament [08:02] only 'cause I'm not voting for my line. [08:02] 6final tally: cute 2, shift 1, babes 1 [08:02] I can tell you - the worst, most nerve-wracking moments of the Ashes felt exactly like a penalty shoot-out. Except drawn out over a longer period [08:02] And, you know, we won [08:02] especially later for england after the 120th minute :P [08:03] (Might as well say it before Guido does...) [08:03] yeah, i was typing a bit slow ;) [08:03] I might put this one to the sevqueen [08:03] vote again on the three? [08:04] Allan - the vote wouldn't change [08:04] Because those of us who don't want to vote, still won't vote [08:04] 6MOVING ONTO Da Vinci Code cartoon [08:04] 6I would, as long as ALIENS are involved.

[08:07] cut [08:07] cut [08:07] cut [08:07] lol [08:07] John - http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/ read iiiiiiiiit [08:07] Although today's will make no sense to you ;0) [08:07] 4CONSPIRACY has been debunked [08:07] 6Did somebody say "CRAZY Theory"? [08:07] cut [08:07] Nemi - maybe on a silly German Kezboard? [08:07] anyway, my vote is boring Cut on the next lines, including this one.... [08:07] no... [08:07] Cut [08:07] night [08:07] cut [08:08] nemi - i understand completely [08:08] Guido - how would you even know? :0P [08:08] * Nemi has quit IRC (Disintegrated: Ciao!) [08:08] What!? I just refreshed the page [08:08] The only punchline I like has been culled [08:08] cut [08:08] because the only silly thing we do is swapping CTRL and Fn on each different laptop [08:08] emma: which was that? [08:08] "Have conspiracy theory, will travel" [08:09] 4CRAZY has been committed [08:09] 6GUESS who? [08:09] cut [08:09] Guido - and the y and z :0P [08:09] cut [08:09] Emma: meh [08:09] probably one which was adding a joke, not pulling down the joke of moulder appearing [08:09] (And speaking as someone using a stupid Fn/Ctrl laptop... mrrrr) [08:09] cut [08:09] Wiyyard :0D [08:09] Ooooh, I have to go into the city tomorrow [08:09] Even though I don't think I have anything to do in there... [08:09] :) [08:10] But it's a Continental Market weekend :0D [08:10] Yum :0D [08:10] *thinks* not that it fits the card, but wouldn't InterPol make more sense than FBI, for an international investigation? [08:10] 4GUESS is wrong [08:10] 6Allow me to INTRODUCE myself. [08:11] cut [08:11] cut [08:11] cut [08:11] neutral [08:11] Cut [08:11] 4INTRODUCE is cut [08:11] Maybe I should make up business cards for myself [08:11] 6Did somebody say the MAGIC word? [08:11] "EofS. Have pen on a cord, will travel" [08:11] cut [08:11] Cut [08:11] keep [08:11] neutral [08:12] really got the knives out for these punchlines... [08:12] cut [08:12] http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/13.html [08:12] 4MAGIC has been stifled [08:12] 6Mouldy's the NAME, conspiracy's the game! [08:12] cut [08:12] cut [08:13] cut [08:13] cut [08:13] http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/38.html - how to make good use of Shakespeare lines... [08:14] that comic reminds me of the dinosaur comic. [08:14] 4NAME is cut [08:14] 6You've got me at "millennia OLD conspiracy." [08:14] cut [08:14] http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/439.html -- an example on how someone makes fun about himself not using correct grammar [08:14] cut [08:15] Cut [08:15] cut [08:15] This one's odd... [08:15] That irregular webcomic about Scooby Doo is pretty clever [08:15] The grammar's off... yet it's a quote. So surely it should be right. I mena, the quote's wrong, but wouldn't you check? [08:16] ah, still gnawing on that bone [08:16] http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/comics/irreg0154.jpg [08:16] 4OLD is cut [08:16] 6No only believe it, I get PAID to investigate it! [08:16] cut [08:17] Gnawing on what bone? [08:17] cut [08:17] I meant the punchline that we were voting on [08:17] again, I like the second half of this one... [08:17] "You've got me" is classic non-native English. But it's clealry meant to be quoting. But the original quote does actually make sense and stuff... [08:18] http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/1061.html [08:18] But since you mention Shakespearegate... http://www.irregularwebcomic.net/501.html [08:19] cut [08:19] "you've got me" contains no grammatical errors. [08:19] not too sure about the rest of the sentence though. [08:20] Allan - I meant in the context of the sentence [08:20] FOr the record, I would've changed that punchline to "you had me..." - I assume it was quoting Jerry Maguire [08:20] ahh. I didn't think it fit well either. [08:20] Although I'm struggling to find a way to make "you've got me" sound at all natural in any sentence. Might be a UK-English thing though [08:21] John - so do I, which is why I was confused by the bizarre wording [08:21] Noooo! I'm getting americanized!!! :> [08:21] well, that's what you get with punchline submission - anything goes [08:21] 4PAID is cut [08:21] 6uh! uh! uh! PICK me! PICK me!! [08:21] and usually does [08:21] cut [08:21] cut [08:21] I'd change this to "ooh! ooh!" [08:21] cut [08:21] but never mind anyway :-) [08:21] lol [08:21] cut [08:22] i think you won't have to worry about that [08:22] 4PICK hasn't been [08:22] 6Further PROOF that Da Vinci was an alien! [08:22] cut [08:22] keep [08:22] Cut [08:22] keep [08:22] John - you should definitely read Irregular Webcomic [08:22] does this tie in with the book at all? [08:22] I've been scanning it during the JS [08:22] It's written by an Aussie with a PhD in physics [08:22] Who loves cricket [08:22] does it matter? [08:22] cut [08:22] Really? SOunds like a soulmate [08:23] wizz: no, but it'd add a nuance or two. [08:23] John - that's pretty much what I was thinking [08:23] A lot of his Star Wars strips are very good [08:23] he even has a section explaining cricket. I definitely have to check this site out! [08:24] (And could never be done within Sev because of the panel style, and also because they build up to a set punchline) [08:24] You really, really should [08:24] Guido - we both got through the 1100 comic archive in... 4 or 5 days wasn't it? [08:24] 3 sticks, a ball and one mad fellah with a long piece of wood. What's to explain? [08:24] yeah. it's 1200 though [08:24] I'll try and get in touch with the guy - if he lives in Brisbane, I'll persuade him to come with me and some friends to the first Ashes test in november [08:24] john -- sydney afair [08:24] ah well [08:24] Yeah, I think Sydney [08:25] You going for certain? Or just hoping [08:25] 4PROOF has been disproven [08:25] 6Further PROOF that Da Vinci was an alien! [08:25] darn. liked that one [08:25] again? ;) [08:25] My holiday to Switzerland is cut short because Dad has to go to the cricket :0P [08:25] Emma: tickets are available in a few weeks, I'll be waiting at 9am to grab mine before they sell out [08:25] what? [08:25] *Grin* cool [08:25] SERVICE is next [08:25] Emma: your dad is going to Australia for the Ashes? [08:25] Guido - that to me? [08:25] Ha, no [08:25] yeah [08:25] cut [08:25] 6Fax "Conspiracy" Mouldy at you SERVICE. [08:26] Trent Bridge (I presume) for whichever test starts at the start of June [08:26] cut [08:26] sorry, wasn't paying attention to what I was doing [08:26] cut [08:26] cut [08:26] I'm going to Switzerland in a fortnight ;0) But we have to come back in time for Dad to go to the cricket [08:26] ah, ok, for your summer, gotchya [08:26] ah [08:26] so your dad is a cricket nut huh? Cool. [08:26] cut [08:26] Last summer we delayed my moving house by a week so we could watch the cricket :0P [08:26] 4SERVICE is cut [08:26] and you don't care, as logn as you return in time for the world cup? [08:26] 6Crazy theories are my SPECIALTY. [08:26] keep [08:26] cut [08:27] cut [08:27] Not really for our summer. We're just going for a few days. While until summer yet [08:27] Guido - pretty much :0) [08:27] Cut [08:27] neutral [08:27] John - he's not exactly a cricket nut, per se. But he and my mother are both big fans [08:27] I've grown up with it always on through the summer (until now of course, when it won't be on TV...) [08:28] Dad complained when I got my A-Level results that my hanging around talking to friends/teachers etc (think like a graduation ceremony for emotional significance) was making him late for the cricket [08:28] how many lines have survived? [08:28] 4SPECIALITY is cut [08:28] 6winner by default: AMAZED [08:29] thankyou thankyou [08:29] is that yours allan? [08:29] Yup. Was expecting PROOF to get through. I liked that one. [08:29] have you signed up at sevents to receive punchline winner notificatin? [08:29] not that it matters, you knew instantly anyway [08:30] I just like emailing people when they win, it's kinda cool [08:30] think that's bad? the year after me had their school graduation at the same time as the european championship final (football) [08:30] no. I have enough mail to hunt through every day as it is. It's an incentive to check the site more often. Session Close: Sat May 13 09:02:31 2006
