[07:21] Personally *But I'm biased ofcourse* my "Emancipation sucks." line was funnier then all the lot.

[07:26] keep [07:26] cut [07:27] Women used to do all the chores until emancipation stopped that and men began helping.

[07:29] hi [07:29] * EofS_ has joined #sevtrek [07:29] * EofS_ is now known as EofS [07:29] cut [07:29] hmm. I've had Bob Marley's emancipation song going through my head. Now I've got Guns 'n Roses [07:30] *Ducks* [07:30] wasn't that poison or another of those "hair metal" groups? [07:30] Sorry, when I said SHE is cut, I mean kept. I got the colour right, the wording wrong [07:30] Still trying to load the cartoon... [07:30] Should I just start trying to load the next cartoon? :0P [07:30] yup [07:30] Guns and Roses weren' [07:31] Guido - I'm sure you know all about such bands ;0) [07:31] Maybe it was Bon Jovi [07:31] emma: :P [07:31] definitely not [07:31] poison or whitesnake i'd say [07:31] *GAH* Guns and Roses weren't a "hair metal" group. [07:31] 4THORN has been blunted [07:31] 6Can't WAIT till Father's Day! [07:31] my point, ds [07:31] My text message dictionary had "Jovi" in it [07:31] But not stickers [07:31] cut [07:31] cut [07:31] cut [07:31] Guido - you'll love the music at the end of our film [07:32] It's loud and crashy noise and I absolutely hate it [07:32] the song was by poison (just googled it) [07:32] Exactly your sort of thing I think [07:32] cut [07:32] cut [07:32] the scary thing is that i remember when it got out the first time ;) [07:32] 4WAIT has ended [07:32] Guido - is that because you're really ancient? [07:32] Isn't Poison a japanese group? Or maybe there are two of them... [07:32] Personal Guns and Roses favourite : November Rain. Welcome to the Jungle good second. [07:33] 6okay, moving onto vote4 stage for the Terrible Twos cartoon. 2 punchlines left... [07:33] At LEAST until she gets out of bed. [07:33] Thankfully, I only have to clean; SHE has to eat. [07:33] 6okay, vote4... [07:33] Vote4 SHE [07:33] veto4 she [07:33] VOTE4 LEAST [07:33] vote4 LEAST [07:33] vote4 least [07:33] ehm... i mean vote4 [07:33] * Miguel sets mode: +o EofS [07:33] vote4 she [07:33] scene didn't make it, oh well. [07:33] That would be nice, having a veto for a punchline *The powerrrrr* [07:34] 6final tally: SHE 3, LEAST 3 [07:34] I still haven't managed to load the finalists page to see the cartoons... [07:34] this one is for sevqueen [07:34] Emma: bummer! [07:34] who won the first cartoon? [07:34] 6moving onto last cartoon Fraud of the Rings [07:35] http://cartoons.sev.com.au/archives/s864.jpg <-- just the pic for that last one [07:35] Sev Files winner: That and the [07:35] gorgeous GREEN [07:35] alien from star [07:35] trek! [07:35] oops, sorry about the multiple lines - copy and pasted it from the speech bubble [07:35] heh. [07:35] Thanks Guido, managed to open that [07:35] 6I don't have an ADAPTER for my staff charger. [07:35] cut [07:35] cut [07:35] keep [07:35] cut [07:35] cut [07:36] Cut [07:36] Does anyone have a reallife explanation why Gandalf didn't use magic alot occording to Tolkien ? [07:36] cut [07:36] he's old? [07:36] That's just a disguise [07:36] because wizard does not mean "magician" in lotr [07:37] Doggy: yes, he wasn't meant to fight Sauron with power but more by advising and exhorting the good guys [07:37] Wizzards tend to be very old and not really capable of doing much *nods* [07:37] I thought he was trying to keep the mystical aspect intact and not solve everything with a wand.... [07:37] 4ADAPTER is incompatible [07:37] 6At my AGE, just getting out of bed in the morning is a miracle! [07:37] cut [07:37] cut [07:37] lol [07:37] cut [07:37] Cut [07:37] Good enough. Only used in utter emergencies. [07:37] btw -- lotr is fiction; there can't be a reallife explanation ;) [07:37] cut [07:37] *Duh* [07:38] cut [07:38] where's the story if the big wiz casts "power word: kill" on the bad guy? [07:38] wiz: lol, indeed. That's according to Tolkien in one of the many notes he published (or his son did after he died) [07:38] 4AGE has retired [07:38] 6I'll CROSS that bridge when I get to it. [07:39] keep [07:39] keep [07:39] keep [07:39] wizard = wise old dude that gets things done by being there [07:39] keep [07:39] cut [07:39] bit of an inside gag, this one... [07:39] 3CROSS has been ticked [07:39] 6Fine. I now going to DISAPPEAR. [07:39] neutral [07:39] cut [07:39] Keep [07:39] changed to "I'm now..." [07:39] keep [07:40] cut [07:40] Wizzard = not so wise, but very old dude [07:40] cut [07:40] darn, melee action didn't get thru. [07:40] cut [07:40] Cut [07:40] Actually, change to keep [07:40] they have to be wise (or canny) to get old :> [07:41] 4DISAPPEAR has done so [07:41] 6 DISTRACT him, while I go back home for my magic kit! [07:41] cut [07:41] cut [07:41] cut [07:41] cut [07:41] Oh trust me, they don't :0P [07:41] cut [07:41] :P [07:41] keep [07:41] 4DISTRACT is cut [07:41] 6Do you really want FIREWORKS in an enclosed space like this? [07:41] keep [07:41] cut [07:41] cut [07:41] cut [07:42] cut [07:42] somehow sees Death of Insanely Overpowered Fireballs saying "D'oh" in the background with that line ;) [07:42] BTW, John, you should've done the Mothers Day Terrible 2's BEFORE Mothers Day. [07:42] or a roman candle [07:42] Cut [07:43] Guido - lol! [07:43] Cut [07:43] doggy: well, I'm not that organised :-) [07:43] mother's day has a habit of catching up on you. [07:43] 4FIREWORKS have fizzled [07:43] 6I don't see how turning him into a twelve foot FROG would make anything better. [07:43] 'specially if you've got kids :) [07:43] lol [07:43] cut [07:43] cut [07:43] long one [07:44] and the irregular theme continues... :-D [07:44] cut [07:44] keep [07:44] I got a nasty shock today when I was reminded of the existance of Father's Day [07:44] cut [07:44] yup [07:44] Long one, and not that funny. [07:44] heh [07:44] 4FROG has been blended [07:44] 6I'll saw the troll in HALF if you can get him into the box! [07:44] cut [07:44] keep [07:44] cut [07:44] where's the box? [07:44] is it 6 foot long? [07:44] There's also a Children's Day that's not celebrated here. Meh. [07:45] keep [07:45] cut [07:45] keep [07:45] thunder: really? there actually is a "children's day"? [07:45] towel day on thursday. [07:45] Isn't that a UNICEF day ? [07:45] Celebrated in Japan at least. [07:45] Not the UNICEF one. [07:45] a HHg cartoon for towel day? [07:46] I want to fly karp kites too... [07:46] this year on Mother's Day, Gaby asked why isn't there a children's day and we replied with the answer which our parents said to us - every day is children's day [07:46] japan's one is a bit different. [07:46] 3HALF is kept [07:46] 6Fine. Watch me pull a rabbit out of my HAT! [07:46] keep [07:46] cut [07:46] AH yes, I've seen that in anime toons. Japan has weird kites. [07:46] cut [07:47] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%27s_day [07:47] cut [07:47] cut [07:47] 4HAT has dipped [07:47] cut [07:47] 6OK. You ask that troll to pick a card! [07:47] keep [07:47] cut [07:47] Cut [07:47] keep [07:47] cut [07:48] cut [07:48] 4OK is not [07:48] 6What? And waste my spell POINTS? [07:48] I like the idea of strider asking the troll.... [07:48] cut [07:48] Cut [07:48] cut [07:48] cut [07:49] cut [07:49] keep [07:49] 4POINTS got none [07:49] 6Pulling a RABBIT out of my hat isn't going to help here. [07:49] Cut [07:49] cut [07:49] cut [07:49] cut [07:49] cut [07:49] Does anyone has the same feeling that after the last LOTR flick came out, there haven't been any real good movies out these days ? [07:49] cut [07:49] Including the last LotR one I hope... [07:50] Hm... I've seen some good ones in that time [07:50] wallace&gromit, sin city [07:50] 4RABBIT is cut [07:50] 6You know how much time it takes to RECHARGE this thing ? [07:50] there must be one or two, but dropping all the remakes/comic adapts/old legends doesn't leave much. [07:50] cut [07:50] m, yeah. Sin City. [07:50] keep [07:50] cut [07:50] keep [07:50] Cut [07:51] cut [07:51] W&G, yes there's one. [07:51] Forgot about Sin City. Great movie, but must be seen twice at least. [07:51] cut [07:51] I still haven't seen it [07:51] I'm sure I have seen good ones whilst I've been at uni (pretty much since RotK in other words) but I can't think what [07:51] good but not memorable? [07:52] Surprisingly, Comic adapt movies have done great the last couple o' years. [07:52] sure have, nice simple plots.... [07:52] I was looking forward to seeing the Da Vinci Code but I hear its a dud [07:52] surprisingly? if every second film being made is a comic adaptation... [07:52] I'm not wasting money on that. [07:52] Last couple of years? More than that if you count anime movies. [07:52] 4RECHARGE is flat [07:52] 6We're about to be SQUASHED and you want a magic trick?! [07:53] keep [07:53] cut [07:53] cut [07:53] cut [07:53] Well, take Spider-Man, X-Men, Hulk, Sin City for instance. These are truly decent flicks. [07:53] keep [07:54] Not Hulk, though. [07:54] comic adaps indicates a lack of imagination to me "oh, lets use this comic 'cause I'm out of ideas".... [07:54] we started watching hulk, couldn't finish it [07:54] except for the last one, they're just average. sin city at least has unique style [07:54] Hulk is overcomplex, yes. But I still liked it *I kinda like overcomplex flicks* [07:54] 4SQUASHED is squished [07:54] watched it, finished it, dodn;t have a gun to shoot myself. [07:54] 6It only works on uneducated VILLAGE people! [07:54] cut [07:54] cut [07:55] * EofS has quit IRC (Ping timeout) [07:55] cut [07:55] cut [07:55] cut [07:55] 4VILLAGE has been cleared [07:55] 6WETA spent the effects budget on *that* guy! [07:55] cut [07:55] cut [07:55] (a joke used far too often) [07:55] keep [07:55] Now, the question would be, would there ever be a decent "Game based" flick ? [07:55] and the magic trick ones aren't? [07:56] Because until now, they're all crap. [07:56] is the pope a muslim? [07:56] cut [07:56] cut [07:56] With decent script writers and competent directors, probably. [07:56] is he? Hides it well. [07:56] He's German. [07:56] he must be wearing boots under the dress. [07:56] allan: that's oine joke overused for one competition. unlike one joke overused in dizens of strips [07:56] But with people like Uwe Boll leading the way... *shakes head* [07:56] Game based flick - unlike everyone else on the planet, I actually liked Final fantasy [07:57] Well, it was decent I guess. [07:57] 4WETA is cut [07:57] Because that one wasn't directed by Uwe Boll. [07:57] 6okay, onto final vote4 stage - again 2 punchlines... [07:57] I'll CROSS that bridge when I get to it. [07:57] I'll saw the troll in HALF if you can get him into the box! [07:57] 6okay, vote4... [07:57] Vote4 CROSS [07:57] * EofS_ has joined #sevtrek [07:57] Sadly enough, the best game based flick I have seen. [07:57] * EofS_ is now known as EofS [07:57] vote4 cross [07:57] vote4 cross [07:57] vote4 cross [07:58] wiz, I've been out of touch a while so you'd be one to judge that for sure... [07:58] vote4 HALF [07:58] vote4 cross [07:58] 6CROSS wins [07:58] Wow, I really got to participate in this session... *sigh* [07:58] thanx all for judging and Emma perservering despite tiredness and a dud connection [07:58] :) Session Close: Sat May 20 08:04:20 2006
