Late Shift I

I want to know what Anna's backside will evolve into. Will it have extra attack power?

20:07 / 14.09.03

I hope it doesnt have legs, or she wont get the chance of posting so often, from sitting in her chair.

20:17 / 14.09.03

Ah, but if the legs are long enough, she won't need a chair any more! Plus, it can move her from the computer to the fridge and back without much effort. That sounds great to me.

Wings would be even better. Who wouldn't want a winged backside? Admittedly you'd look a bit strange while flying, dangling from your arse, and it could be hard to buy trousers, particularly if they're big, albatross-style wings. But I'd forgive that for the opportunity to be transported around by my rear end.

20:30 / 14.09.03

Take you to the fridge, with little effort? Surely like a fridge-magnet. But what if the legs should get out of control. And surely sitting on your legs = standign. Is anna around? How comfortable is your ass, or shall we road-test ot for you?

20:32 / 14.09.03

Congratulations on your medals, ginger, sorry that the experience was marred.
What on earth could Anna's ass be evolving into... hmm... hopefully nothing with spines.

ONLY NICE THINGS

20:45 / 14.09.03

Oh, come on... things with spines are the *best*. Hedgehogs, for example. Hedgehogs have spines. Likewise porcupines. Both are incredibly cute. Although admittedly their arses, to the best of my knowledge, are spineless. A spiny posterior may cause a number of problems. Do wonders for your posture, mind.

I'm feeling like I'm spending more time thinking about the usability of Barbelith at the moment than actually participating in it. It's been an odd day generally - like yesterday, I didn't get to bed properly until very late, and kept sort of dozing off during the day; I think I may be going down with something.

Also, Channel 4 have made Sunday shit TV nirvana, which makes action very difficult. Fortunately, now I have a new laptop with a wireless keyboard and mouse, I can work in front of the TV. Just wish I could get the frickin' thing networked? does anyobe have any advice? Apart from "buy a Mac"?

Well done, Gingerbop - I think we should all come along to one of these things and form a cheering section. Although if we did half of us would probably get arrested, now that I think about it.

20:46 / 14.09.03

They could be useful for deffering unwanted attention.

20:55 / 14.09.03

And i'd LOVE a gang of half-porcupines at my competition next saturday- and you only get thrown out if you ask for the scores (even after the competition): Sin of all sins. The printer is holy, and must be given regular paid breaks. And cups of tea.

Incidentally, its the same as i just got in my exams (gold, 2silv + brnz = ABBC). So I reakon i wont get my appeals now. Just a feeling- but i dont think fate can allow me differing school/hobbiness. Bastards.

ONLY NICE THINGS

20:59 / 14.09.03

That's a pretty good selection, gingerbop - is it not enough to do a subject/attend a university you had your heart set on?

21:03 / 14.09.03

Lol- "selection"- I like that.
Ach, I duno. All of a sudden, theres a million things i want to do first, so i'll probably end up going when im 60. It doesnt include maths (im a spoon who thought id never need it) to do business at edinburgh, but its worth a stab. With porcupine needles. I can bribe them with my (plastic) precious metals.

By the way- i thought there was only 1 harry potter film, that was released last november, but apparently im sooo wrong. When was the first? And whens the next? Im such a retard.

21:13 / 14.09.03

Sorceror's/Philospher's Stone, 2001. Azkaban is still filming, supposedly, and will be released in 2004.

ONLY NICE THINGS

21:19 / 14.09.03

I like the idea that as the books get bigger the films will either have to become bladder-punishing exercises the length of 'The Two Towers', or become so abbreviated as to be utterly incomprehensible.

Fortunately, JKR seems to be dealing with this by spending hundreds of pages describing how Harry feels, which in the film can be finessed with a brief close-up on a facial expression.

21:33 / 14.09.03

Or a boner.

ONLY NICE THINGS

21:46 / 14.09.03

Ah, but is that the sorceror's boner or the philosopher's boner?

21:49 / 14.09.03

I dont know, but either way, there's a big hairy monster called "Fluffy" guarding it.

21:51 / 14.09.03

Which can only be tamed by a big, bearded, bear-like giant.

22:07 / 14.09.03

Whenever I look in on the Late Shift thread it always seems to be about The Potter. Is 'Late Shift' an HP reference that I've just been missing all this time?

Anyway, evening all.

22:17 / 14.09.03

The Late Shift is when Harry and Hermione "accidentally" end up in a broom cupboard together at 3am.

I am off to read- so i can pretend im cultured. Girl interupted, anyone? Everyones seen it, noones read it. Nightynight xxxx

22:48 / 14.09.03

Night Ginger.

There's a Kerry rally on CSPAN, I think. Moby opened for him, covering Aerosmith, "Walk This Way." And now Kerry's standing there talking about how great Moby is. It is somewhat awkward to watch.

ONLY NICE THINGS

23:00 / 14.09.03

I think I should head off to bed - I have some work to finish up and if I stay at the computer with an Internet connection I'll only keep killing time...

Night all. May spiny-bottomed Hermiones and Harries sing you to your rest.

23:40 / 14.09.03

well being a natural night person i want everyone to stay up all night posting salient and cogent replies to all the topics they find interesting... but i just crave mental stimulation

23:56 / 14.09.03

I'm still up, but I'm feeling about as salient and cogent as a clam taking the LSATs.

So how are my imaginary friends this evening then? I'm doing the last night of a 7-night shift, and looking forward to getting heartily drunk in the morning. However, I'm very tired, cos I got up at 2 this afternoon to go to lilly's daughter's 2nd birthday party, so have only had about four hours' sleep.
Never mind, loud music (currently Killing Joke), bad coffeee and some Late Shift action should keep me awake enough to keep my minions in line (heh!)

00:18 / 15.09.03

I'm up, writing a presentation to be performed on Wednesday in Italy in front of 100 not-yet-drunk animation types. Not by me though, so fuck it, I'm going to fill it with swears and jokes about loft insulation.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:24 / 15.09.03

Ah, loft insulaton. One of the great comedy tropes of our time.

00:27 / 15.09.03

Load of old trope. Of course I'm lying about the swearing and such because A)I wouldn't get paid and B)The girls performing it have complimented me mightily in the past. I'm such a fake rebel.
I want you to want me, Stoatie. I need you to knead me.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:30 / 15.09.03

No swearing? Shame. How's about some good old-fashioned smutty innuendo?

00:36 / 15.09.03

I could include strange stage directions. 'Read the following line as if a goose with the face of Richard Briers has just thrown a durian fruit at you from a hot air balloon.'

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:40 / 15.09.03

Oh yes. I can picture it now. "Richard Briers, you say? hang on, how's this..."

00:48 / 15.09.03

I love Richard Briers so much. Now I must sleep. There's no connection between the two, I assure you. 'night.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:49 / 15.09.03

'Night. How's about the rest of yez? You still about?

01:00 / 15.09.03

Hello, I'm up and about, but--given the light of the current situation that I have become entangled in--you (and others) may not be so wise to talk to me...

01:02 / 15.09.03

I'm about to bed down, gotta face the youth in the morning. Night all.

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

01:04 / 15.09.03

'Night Maz.

Dr... I'm steering well clear of your situation, but that doesn't necessarily extend to you personally. Or, indeed, the other party involved. SO if we can forget about that then we should be okay!

01:10 / 15.09.03

Ah Stoatie, you are indeed are reasonable and friendly fellow! I think I shall put on TG’s Third Annual Report in your honour…

What ya’ up to. I have another Litherlander staying with me for a few days. We are sharing computer time: he reads while I do my thing, and then I read, paint, or whatever, well he does his. I wish we had a few more members around, but the Candain membership (TO aside) is so spread out. It’d be cool to have a mega-gathering.

Perhaps then Haus and I could merely fist-fight or have a drinking contest or something like that. Perhaps getting really loaded together and then fighting, would encourage a bonding moment and he and I could be friends afterwards? You don’t have to comment on this paragraph, ‘natch!

Slugbait here I come...
