[07:13] <@EofS> "I'm sorry, I'll just have to turn my phone off. Oh, it's stopped" [07:13] <@EofS> Neutra 01[07:13] Emma: is this the tv channel you work on? [07:13] cut [07:13] <@Wizzard> neutral [07:13] <@EofS> It is, yeah [07:13] <@EofS> The national news though, not our regional programme 01[07:13] it's better than that egg cracking guy 01[07:13] keep [07:13] <@EofS> Ah! I've just remembered the funny phrase from yesterday [07:14] <@EofS> Someone in one of our stories said something I thought was really odd, but couldn't remember what it was [07:14] cut [07:14] <@EofS> "He does enjoy his Thursday evenings" or something like that 01[07:14] 4CHICKEN is cut 01[07:14] 6Have you been in CONTACT with possibly contaminated humans recently? 01[07:14] keep [07:14] <@EofS> Cut [07:14] cut [07:14] <@Wizzard> cut 01[07:14] 4CONTACT is cut 01[07:15] 6Damn it Jim, I'm a pig, not a DOCTOR!

That says somebody at some point dies! 01[07:17] emma: there are red shirts in the movie. Nuff said 01[07:18] 4INFECTION is cut 01[07:18] 6Did you KISS a human? [07:18] <@Wizzard> cut 01[07:18] keep [07:18] cut [07:18] <@EofS> Neutral [07:18] <@EofS> Not that it was funny all the times we joked about people kissing pigs... 01[07:18] eg - kirk, sulu and a red shirt go on a mission. Guess who doesn't make it 01[07:19] 4KISS is cut 01[07:19] 6I'm prescribing rest in warm climate. I've booked you a week in MEXICO. [07:19] <@EofS> Hm... Sulu I guess. Dont' remember anyone called that in the rest of the films [07:19] <@Wizzard> cut 01[07:19] cut [07:19] are all punchlines for twist text instead of commentary these days ? maybe we should inform ppl that commentaries are also allowed [07:19] keep [07:20] <@EofS> Thomas - WAAS is at least 8 years old, so it's not really a new problem ;0) [07:20] <@EofS> Keep [07:20] <@EofS> I really like this punchline 01[07:20] 3MEXICO is kept 01[07:20] 6The test came back POSITIVE, you've got human flu. 01[07:20] cut [07:20] <@EofS> Cut [07:20] <@Wizzard> cut [07:20] usually i only vote on commentary lines instead of spoken in twist, but mexico IS a good one :-) [07:21] cut 01[07:21] 4POSITIVE is cut 01[07:21] 6Oh course, *we* prefer to call it the "PRIMATE plague" 01[07:21] cut [07:21] cut [07:21] <@Wizzard> cut [07:21] <@EofS> Cut [07:22] <@EofS> Thomas - ditto [07:22] <@EofS> If a spoken line is funny, I'll keep it 01[07:22] 4PRIMATE is cut 01[07:22] 6Step one of our master plan done. Now, go out and SNEEZE on a human. [07:22] cut 01[07:22] whether it's spoken or not is irrelevant, there's no rule written down anywhere that says it has to be commentary. Funniness is the only factor [07:22] <@Wizzard> cut 01[07:23] keep [07:23] true JC, but i find that twists are usually more funny as commentaries [07:23] cut [07:23] take the "union rules vs business plans" line on the rollercoaster twist that's on the "on this day" page right now [07:23] <@EofS> Cut [07:24] <@EofS> The point is John that commentaries are funnier than spoken [07:24] that and commentaries allow for a much wider range of responses than trying to fit in a spoken line 01[07:25] I'll have to do a twist that can only have commentaries submitted, just to test out that theory [07:25] <@EofS> And the last one on the On This Day 01[07:25] 4SNEEZE is cut 01[07:25] 6The doctor gives an, "I TOLD you so," after warning Dave not to hang around humans. 01[07:25] cut [07:25] <@Wizzard> neutral [07:26] <@EofS> I think it would be funnier as "Unfortunately you needed a press pass to enter the tunnel" or similar [07:26] true [07:26] <@EofS> Cut [07:26] cut 01[07:26] 4TOLD is cut [07:26] <@EofS> There's just something funnier about commenting on something than saying something [07:26] also, commentaries dont need to adhere to the "the shorter the better" rule that's usually valid for spoken 01[07:26] 6only one punchline has made it to the vote4 stage: I'm prescribing rest in warm climate. I've booked you a week in MEXICO. 01[07:26] 6MEXICO wins! 01[07:27] 6THANKS all for judging! 01[07:27] I can hear Wendy operating the coffee machine so it sounds like I gotta go, have breakfast [07:28] <@EofS> Tara [07:28] <@EofS> Might not make it next weekend [07:28] cya [07:28] aww [07:28] no [07:28] <@Wizzard> bye [07:28] you need to tell us what you thought of the movie [07:28] <@EofS> I know [07:28] <@EofS> But I might be going home [07:28] <@EofS> So I a) won't get home in time fo rhte session adn b) won't have net access when I get home [07:28] Bye! 03[07:28] * Jazzy (~jenna@MagicStar-F4E10B0.cable.ubr02.bath.blueyonder.co.uk) has left #sevtrek [07:28] you know what i'm waiting for [07:28] decent roaming for internet connections [07:29] <@EofS> Ther'es an internet connection :0P [07:29] every house hooked up and you just log in from wherever you are [07:29] <@Wizzard> bye from me as well 01[07:29] bye guido 01[07:29] bye all 02[07:29] * @Wizzard (~guido@MagicStar-F3EFD6BF.pool.einsundeins.de) Quit (Client exited) 01[07:29] wendy is now steaming the milk, coffee is imminent! 01[07:29] cu [07:29] <@EofS> But they're using WPA2 and for some reason whilst my laptop had no issue using WPA2 when visiting Guido, it doesn't like it when visiting home or Ben Session Close: Sat May 23 07:29:51 2009
