[07:17] cut [07:17] Cut [07:17] i am but i missed on the second line [07:17] 4FUTURE is cut [07:17] 6I usually check for GLOWING eyes, metal skeletons, tendency to kill people, public nudity... [07:17] ok [07:17] cut [07:17] cut [07:17] cut [07:17] cut [07:17] cut [07:18] it's a bit obvious eh [07:18] broodrooster is a very normal word [07:18] Reminds me of my (unsurprisingly not chosen) Sev Trek punchline this week [07:18] Johan - I know it is. But I like it :0) [07:18] 4GLOWING is cut [07:18] broodbeleg is also an interesting word [07:18] 6By the dramatic MUSIC in the background [07:18] cut [07:18] keep [07:18] keep [07:18] cut [07:18] kaasschaaf is interesting too [07:18] Cut [07:18] keep [07:18] Today I got a broodrooster [07:18] It's attractive [07:18] 3MUSIC is kept [07:18] 6They display a keen sense of PURPOSE.

Isn't life exciting [07:19] i hope it didn't burn your broodjes too badly [07:19] cut [07:19] Cut [07:19] cut [07:19] The router? No, not at all [07:19] 4PURPOSE is cut [07:19] 6A better QUESTION would be how do we tell if someone is from the present. [07:19] Actually, I've not tried to use either yet ;0) [07:19] i meant the broodrooster ofcourse [07:19] keep [07:19] cut [07:19] The cable supplied with the router is a very pretty yellow [07:19] cut [07:19] Cut [07:19] though some routers get so hot that you could use it as a broodrooster [07:19] probably a linksys router then [07:20] keep [07:20] cut [07:20] Nope, Netgear [07:20] neutral [07:20] eep [07:20] ah. [07:20] missed some [07:20] 4QUESTION is cut [07:20] 6A better QUESTION would be how do we tell if someone is from the present. [07:20] was making a sandwich [07:20] oops [07:20] 6SHOOT them all. Those who don't die are the bad guys. [07:20] cut [07:20] keep [07:20] keep [07:20] (PB&J on raisin bread) [07:21] keep [07:21] this is my favority so far [07:21] neutral [07:21] deja vu to Barf's solution in the Sev Trek movie [07:21] Dhraakellian; you're giving me tummyache [07:21] I lkke it but it doesn't answer the question [07:21] Cut therefore [07:21] 3SHOOT is kept [07:21] 6SIMPLE. Tell them your name's John Connor, and see if they try to kill you... [07:21] cut [07:21] keep [07:21] keep [07:21] cut [07:21] very awesome answer, fits with the movie so well [07:22] i wonder if i can run linux on a T888 [07:22] needs a little more brevity [07:22] It needs to lose the simple [07:22] neutral [07:22] kind of annoying if someone hacks it, though [07:22] "Tell them you're John Connor. If they try to kill you..." [07:22] 3SIMPLE is kept (with word SIMPLE trimmed) [07:22] 6Better shoot 'em all, just to be SURE. [07:22] cut [07:22] cut [07:22] keep [07:22] Or if anyone else can come up with a more concise version? [07:22] cut [07:22] also funny [07:22] Cut [07:22] cut [07:22] cut [07:22] wouldn't just ""Tell them you're John Connor." do? [07:22] 4SURE is cut [07:22] 6Jeans and TIGHT fitting black shirts! [07:23] cut [07:23] cut [07:23] cut [07:23] why do I always seem to be instigating these changes? [07:23] Yes, EofS: "That guy over there is John Connor" [07:23] cut [07:23] Cut [07:23] " [07:23] cut [07:23] I know people who wear jeans and tight fitting black shirts... :0P [07:23] had to finish my quotation marks, or else bad things happen. [07:23] are they terminators? [07:23] Jazzy: " [07:23] cut [07:24] hmm [07:24] Miguel: tell them you're John Connor and find out [07:24] and gaming's off for tonight [07:24] 4TIGHT is cut [07:24] noo. I already did. Now I have to have another one. "; [07:24] Well one of them has the right accent... [07:24] 6They fear TIME paradoxes, so they avoid stepping on bugs [07:24] cut [07:24] keep [07:24] cut [07:24] keep [07:24] cut [07:24] cut [07:24] bugs? [07:24] Neutral [07:24] Again, could this be shortened? Just the stuff after the comma? [07:2 [07:24] I'd like it more if it was just "they avoid stepping on bugs" [07:24] heee. yes. [07:25] 4TIME is cut (would people get the reference if trimmed?) [07:25] ingredients: everything you've read since [07:25] 6time for vote4 stage... [07:25] they ASK you what year it is. [07:25] They're the ones who DON'T care about CLIMATE change. [07:25] By the dramatic MUSIC in the background [07:25] SHOOT them all. Those who don't die are the bad guys. [07:25] TELL them your name's John Connor, and see if they try to kill you... [07:25] 6okay vote4 [07:25] vote4 music [07:25] perhaps I"m being dense, but bugs? [07:25] vote climate [07:25] vote4 music [07:25] vote4 tell [07:25] dhraak: my point exactly [07:25] Insects [07:25] SMall creatures [07:25] Dhraakellian: yes you're being dense ;) [07:25] vote4 TELL [07:25] step on a bug, bug dies - change anything in the present and everything goes to hell in a handbasket in the future [07:26] yes, but that's reaching a little too far for my tastes unless it's a reference to something specific [07:26] 6final tally: music 2 climate 1 tell 2 [07:26] It's a very well known time travel cliche [07:26] Dhraakellian: it's that story about how tiny things can change huge things in the future. such as the flapping of a butterfly's wings here could influence the formation of a tornado on the other side of the world. or not, if you kill the butterfly accidentally. [07:26] don't we have six judges? [07:26] 'specially since the terminators have no problem killing mundanes willy-nilly [07:26] Yes, I'm trying to decide [07:27] EofS: oh, do TELL [07:27] JC: ditto what emma said [07:27] vote4 tell, but not because Johan told me to [07:27] so we have 7 judges? [07:27] decide quick - we have 10 minutes to judge the next toon [07:28] Yeah, I think we have 7 [07:28] 6final tally: music 2 climate 1 tell 3 ... waiting for Dhraak [07:28] JC: I don't have to be gone by 35 past anymore [07:28] in that case; cut, keep, neutral, cut, cut, cut, keep, cut, neutral, cut, etc.. [07:28] we had 5, then we gained a Jazzy and a Johan [07:28] I have to go in 15 minutes then :-) [07:28] you can't have too many Js *nods* [07:28] i'm like weight. you gain it so easily, and lose it with so much effort. [07:28] Jazzy, Johan, John... so many! [07:28] vote4 year (just to be perverse and because I'm (surprisingly enough) a tad gunshy about major edits to punchlines) [07:28] erm... ask [07:29] Jł [07:29] 6final tally: music 2 climate 1 tell 3 ask 1 [07:29] Yes, you are definitely hard to get rid of Johan :0P [07:29] 6hmm, sevqueen between MUSIC and TELL [07:29] 6moving onto LOTR cartoon... [07:29] 6I'm not sure but I think he's campaigning for BETTER equipment. [07:29] unless you want to remove the singletons, in which case I could be convinced to switch2 TELL [07:29] cut [07:29] cut [07:29] keep [07:29] cut [07:29] cut [07:29] unless you want to remove the what? [07:30] finalists with 1 vote [07:30] (even though he's the king and doesn't have to get appropriations bills through congress 'n such) [07:30] Aah. [07:30] I like that term - singletons [07:30] which is, admittedly, what is usually done [07:30] Keep if we lose the "I'm not sure, but" [07:30] And maybe even the "I think" [07:30] ok backtrack to Terminator - can Dhraak and Miguel revote for MUSIC or TELL? [07:30] Nah, the "I think" is good actually [07:30 [07:30] EofS: 'specially with JC's trademark shrug [07:31] Because it's ambiguous then whether or not it's been misheard [07:31] vote4 tell [07:31] 6final tally: music 3 tell 4,... still a sevqueen! [07:31] 4BETTER is cut [07:31] 6Trust me, it's still BETTER to be in the back than in the front. [07:31] odd.. [07:31] cut [07:31] Er, two betters? [07:31] Cut [07:31] ah yes [07:31] two betters are better than one [07:31] Cut [07:32] neutral [07:32] They'd better be [07:32] cut [07:32] cut [07:32] cut [07:32] Jazzy - time was that having two lines with the same punchword was kind of disasterous... and yet it still happens often, years and years later [07:32] keep as FRONT instead of the real FRONT [07:32] 4BETTER is cut again (he just won't die!) [07:32] 6Something about BRITNEY Spears and Brooke Shields.

[07:35] neutral [07:35] cut [07:35] it's talking about future, not past [07:35] Cut [07:35] 4MISSED is cut [07:35] 6I hope he said "give PEACE a chance"... [07:36] so this doesn't fit so well [07:36] cut [07:36] cut [07:36] actually the only lines i like are 'SET' and the first 'better' now that i compare all of them [07:36] cut [07:36] Neutral [07:36] cut [07:36] cit [07:36] cut [07:36] well there's a new one [07:36] 4PEACE is cut [07:36] 6Beats me, I never listen to PEP-talks!

[07:42] * Dhraakellian shrugs [07:42] my problem is it isn't obvious that those guys are different to the ones with shields etc [07:42] ah [07:42] Exactly [07:42] somehow it is obvious to me [07:42] * Dhraakellian is planning to vote for BETTER(1.1) or HIDE [07:42] seeing as how they don't carry those in the pictures [07:43] I mean, the cavalry will go first anyway... Nothing he says implies the shield/spear people will go first [07:43]
