[08:19] Thomas - that's because all of Europe goes back simultaneously [08:19] cut [08:19] cut [08:19] cut [08:19] Whilst all of the US goes back at its own 2am [08:19] cut [08:20] 4SPANKED is cut [08:20] 6You can SWITCH off his free will. [08:20] keep [08:20] So, you could have neighboring time zones have same time, or be two hours off. [08:20] hehe; and it's all done to make JC's life hell :-) [08:20] Neutral [08:20] cut [08:20] cut [08:20] neutral [08:20] Maybe John should consider moving [08:20] cut [08:20] maybe we will - can anyone tell me what's the best country in Europe?

[08:21] cut [08:22] But, it's a _TV_ remote... [08:22] Neutral [08:22] keep [08:22] cut [08:22] cut [08:22] Maybe it's a multifunctional remote [08:22] Our TV remote also does the video and the DVD [08:22] The other one didn't specify, which could have meant it was one for him. [08:22] Well, we have those at our house, except... [08:22] "there was a time when all lift cables sheared in the empire state"; "yeah, that was when there was a huge ape hanging from it" [08:22] (Actually, it's that our DVD and video remote controls the TV. As a result, that's our TV remote :0P ) [08:22] cut [08:22] 4UPDATES is cut [08:22] The multi-function isn't ALL-function [08:22] 6winner by default: When he says "I'll be BACK," he actually means it! [08:22] So, we have to keep the original remotes, too [08:23] The main problem is that the multi-function remote doesn't have a "Menu" button. [08:23] 6okay moving onto LOTR [08:23] 6how about you do one, the elf does the other, and I stay here and COORDINATE? [08:23] JC... [08:23] memo...

What was boredom? [08:24] cause thats not the first on my list [08:24] keep [08:24] cut [08:24] Reload isn't reloading [08:24] Why is there never a death by BOREDOM option? [08:24] The one at the top of the list :0P [08:24] Why is there never a death by BOREDOM option? [08:24] wow... took less than a minute to reload just now [08:25] 4COORDINATE is cut [08:25] 6Or option three: we set this CUNNING ambush right here...

[08:25] (cut and haste error) [08:25] keep [08:25] cut [08:25] cut [08:26] neutral [08:26] cut [08:26] I think this would work better as "why is there never a boredom option" but I appreciate that completely changes the punchline [08:26] cut [08:26] Neutral [08:26] Putting it back in, just to see it cut. [08:26] neutral [08:27] 4BOREDOM is cut [08:27] 6I'm all for option 3: Admitting FAILURE and going home. [08:27] democracy in action, adm :-) [08:27] cut [08:27] I know, I know.

[08:28] cut [08:28] yeah [08:28] cut [08:28] Or, as Dhraak says, the entire second half [08:29] cut [08:29] Keep [08:29] nah, without the "oh" at least, ppl will miss the joke [08:29] That's why I suggested keeping the oh in [08:29] hmm... [08:29] EofS: yeah, the "oh" works [08:29] Do we need the name in there? [08:30] 6okay, everyone vote4 your favourite version of GONEDAFT - 3 options...

[08:36] cut [08:36] I don't see why he couldn't shrug, saying it nonchalantly [08:36] cut [08:36] kinda works better coming from Gimli, he's always the comic relief [08:36] cut [08:36] 4QUESTS is cut [08:36] 6You two go ahead.

It looks more like a Spock RaE to me [08:37] thomas: usually accompanied with the uniquitious crossed arms or hands on hips [08:37] I think it's the trademark "unimpressed" look personally [08:37] CptThomas: whereas Gimli has that "ubiquitous JC trademarked look of shrugging while answering a question" [08:37] oh no, hands by his sides this time for a change, surprising [08:38] Shock!
