[07:50] neutral [07:50] cut [07:51] keep [07:51] cut [07:51] this pun, unlike the other horrid one, is just too clunky [07:51] cut [07:51] Bah! It's gold! [07:51] Perhaps I'm just a sucker for puns [07:51] no. it's rock(y) [07:51] Gold is a rock [07:52] the palagerism [07:52] the plagiarism one was better [07:52] 4ROCKITIVITY is rejected by the peer review process [07:52] 6I have no idea what you're SCRIBBLING. You're going to have to invent writing. [07:52] cut [07:52] cut [07:52] Oh, I loved that one too [07:52] keep [07:52] stupid spell check not doing what I want [07:52] keep [07:52] keep [07:52] cut [07:52] Keep [07:52] <3 [07:53] 3SCRIBBLING is kept [07:53] 6Yes, yes. Korg so SMART, make big theory, but Korg still put on loin cloth on leg at time. [07:53] Heh... It's probably my love for puns that makes me love Piers Anthony's Xanth series. [07:53] cut [07:53] I can tell what this one is trying to say, but a) it's missing words, and b) they're wearing much more than loincloths. (and they're not that kind of alien?) [07:53] cut [07:53] so... [07:53] cut [07:54] Cut [07:54] cut [07:54] You don't put on loincloths by legs, either [07:54] Yeah, my feelings are much like Dhraak's [07:54] plus what Memo said [07:54] dhraak: I concur, I like the general gist but the wording doesn't quite nail it [07:54] cut [07:54] And I think it's missing words on purpose [07:54] AdmiralMemo: it's missing more than necessary [07:54] cut [07:54] True [07:54] actually I think it needs to miss even more words [07:55] JC: 100% more? [07:55] Perhaps the punchline writer looks like the guys in the comic? [07:55] Eg - Korg so SMART, make big theory... Korg still put loin cloth on leg at a time [07:55] * Dhraakellian .·°{ but that's a tad harsh of me, isn't it? } [07:55] 4Anyway it's moot as SMART is cut [07:55] 6That's STONE age thinking, can't you see we're in the ice age now? [07:55] cut [07:55] keep [07:55] cut [07:55] cut [07:55] this is a nice one [07:56] Cut [07:56] cut [07:56] And apparently, I'm the only one who thinks that [07:56] Memo: you *think*? [07:56] cut [07:56] * Dhraakellian is quite surprised [07:56] * Dhraakellian runs away before Memo can catch him [07:56] !;D [07:56] Yes. I do think on occasion. ;-) [07:57] It breaks the tedium. [07:57] Didn't stone age come after ice age? [07:57] EofS: yeah, I'm not sure about that either [07:57] which is the main reason I cut [07:57] And after Ice Age came Ice Age 2: The Meltdown [07:57] *rimshot* [07:57] the ice age ended about 12,000 years ago - when was the stone age? [07:57] And holy crap... It's POURING outside. [07:57] After that I think. [07:57] eeeewwww [07:57] 5000? [07:57] Memo, I refuse to give you sympathy for rain [07:58] we have entire counties submerged over here [07:58] in JULY [07:58] "holy crap outside it is pouring" [07:58] Oh, I need no sympathy. [07:58] 4STONE is cut [07:58] 6You fool! We must invent TOILET paper before science! [07:58] cut [07:58] cut [07:58] it's the wettest summer since records began [07:58] Cut [07:58] cut [07:58] I was just surprised [07:58] cut [07:58] cut [07:58] this strip doesn't even suggest toilet humour... *confused* [07:58] raining holy crap = ew [07:58] Oh, yes. We're getting your rain now too. I hope you're happy, Britain! [07:58] cut [07:59] I still cannot get over the irony of 350,00 having no running water for over a week... because of the flooding :0P [07:59] TD - I'd be happier of you'd taken it, say, 2 weeks ago [07:59] Ew! [07:59] you can even use it for hydro power [07:59] It took two weeks to cross the ocean! [07:59] missing a zero... [07:59] ... and a week... [07:59] Bleh [07:59] 4TOILET is flushed [07:59] Two weeks ago we also had rain. [07:59] Over two weeks? It didn't start raining until I'd been here for a week [07:59] 6okay, onto the vote4 section, people... [07:59] Kronk recognized those DRAWINGS from another cave, and began to suspect his research partner of paleogiarism. [07:59] First of all, that won't work because the world is FLAT. [07:59] I've run the NUMBERS and there's no way seven red pebbles can equal 8 blue pebbbles [07:59] But is the world READY for fire? [07:59] I have no idea what you're SCRIBBLING. You're going to have to invent writing. [07:59] 6okay vote4... [08:00] vote4 drawing [08:00] vote4 drawings [08:00] ...s [08:00] vote4 scribbling [08:00] Bah! I can't decide [08:00] Eh, we've had a lot of rain on and off. [08:00] I love scribbling so much [08:00] vote4 drawing [08:00] the punchline with scribbling in is pretty good too [08:00] we know, e, but it's about judging the winner ehere, not scribbling [08:00] vote4 scribbling [08:00] with NUMBERS, one of them is a money-changer, methinks [08:00] damnit Guido [08:00] *Aims a kick* [08:00] vote4 drawings [08:01] vote4 drawings [08:01] TD - try >200mm (forget the exact figure) of rain in 24 hours when the norm is 50mm in the entire MONTH [08:01] * Dhraakellian sets mode: -o+h EofS EofS [08:01] there, Wizzard should be safe [08:01] LOL [08:01] since April we've had ~400mm [08:01] 6final tally: drawings 5, scribblings 2 [08:02] the average nationally is ~200mm [08:02] 6drawings wins [08:02] thanks all for judging!
