Stop it about cheesecake!

You don't get a tea lady unless you inhabit a building that employs one and then they rock because they bring you tea to order.

Plus if you're sick I would imagine that anyone making you a cup of tea, (regardless of rubbishness) is better than making your own.

Get yourself a butler, Mazarine. You know you deserve one. It’s the only way to live a truly plush life. Apparently.

Plus, butlers are more handy than tea ladies at pub quizzes. And they bake cakes, if you know the special word to ask them with.

Hello all. If GingerB's not present, can I take her place on tonights magic lateshift bus?

Bedhead, butler's don't bake, they just ask the cook.

You have been mislead.

They will if you possess compromising photographs

I just want my cheesecake lady!!!!

Hey there BH!

Are you telling me you possess compromising photo's of a butler?
 
 
Mazarine
00:01 / 14.12.03
Butler? I can't even afford a cat, sugar. And my fish died. (A moment of silence for Max).

- No, but if I did, I’d make sure I had more cake than you could shake a stick at

Hey there backatcha Kegdude!
You’re so right, I love the names we’ve got in tonight. They’re just so super.

Kegboy, Oulabelle, and Mazarine are... The Legion of Super-Lateshifters!!!



(RIP Max)

That was my moment of silence for your fish Max. The board put none in there. Damn disrepectful board.
 
 
Mazarine
00:06 / 14.12.03
That's okay, Keggers, the small fishy soul of Max appreciated it anyway, I'm sure.

Back in a moment. I need more tea.

Are we going to start a 'Whose going to play the roles of the Old Super Lateshifters?' discussion?
 
 
Olulabelle
00:12 / 14.12.03
Mazarine, it's so bless that your fish was called Max. Most people's fish are called..er.. 'Fishy' or something. Calling your fish 'Max' is almost as good as calling your cat 'Steve', like my friend did.

Er, not tonight sweetie.

BTB, I was thinking of doing a pack of Barbelith Top-Trumps, as a project. I found my old Doctor Who top trumps a couple of weeks ago, and I remember some Jaime Hewlett toptrumps from years ago, so I thought I’d make ‘lith legends into superheroes, in the form of a deck of cards. You’d all be in there, obviously, because you have fab names. The fact that I don’t know what anyone looks like means that I have to design a superhero just based on the name, and the online personality, and anyone could just download a sheet of pictures, print them out, glue it to some stiff card, and play. It’d be great. And interactive. And funny. I’m thinking of all the mad designs in Richard Case Doom Patrol.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Explain it to me. Using Venn diagrams for bonus marks.

Er... Oulabelle? You’re British, arn’t you? Can you explain the concept behind Top Trumps?

Okay, give me a second..
 
 
Mazarine
00:19 / 14.12.03
Well, my fiance and I had two betta fish, in seperate bowls, named Sam and Max, after Sam and Max.

Sam died a few months ago, and Max gave up the ghost today. Our sole remaining pet is a cardboard cat.

Bedhead I think that's rock and roll! Go and start a thread about it in creation, lots of people would have good suggestions.

Barbelith top trumps!

Kegboy, Cheescake Eating: 180.

Mazarine and Kegboy, Lateshift posting: 200

Sounds something like the Pirate Vs Ninja cards..
 
 
Mazarine
00:23 / 14.12.03
Hang about, we did Barbelith top trumps. Here, behold.
 
 
Mazarine
00:25 / 14.12.03
Ooh, I broke the thread good. Let's hope to god there's two other Conversation mods around.
 
 
Bed Head
00:25 / 14.12.03
Oh BUGGER


It would have rocked, too
 
 
Olulabelle

Top trumps:

Lots of cards with similar things on: Cars, Simpsons characters. Whatever. Each gets a score for various things, like 'Strength'. or 'Coolness', or in our case 'Lateshift posts.'

You play with other people, you say your card's score - if they beat you they trump you and get your card.
 
 
Mazarine
00:26 / 14.12.03
Ressurect the thread! People do it all the time.
 
 
Bed Head
00:29 / 14.12.03
I was more into the idea of drawing a whole bunch of characters based on Barbelith names, than anything else. I might resurrect the thread. I'm not actually that interested in the ratings, so I could just nick those ones that have already been done.

Still, bugger...
 
 
Olulabelle
00:30 / 14.12.03
Mazarine, what did you do to the thread?!

Bedhead, fear not. I feel a new Top Trumps is in order.

Dont use the Necronomicon to ressurect the thread... thats one mistake I'll not do again!

OH great now I have that Supertramp song stuck in my head!!!

"Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you’re nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said ’far out, - what a day, a year, a laugh it is!’
You know, - well you know you had it comin’ to you,
Now there’s not a lot I can do

Dreamer, you stupid little dreamer;
So now you put your head in your hands, oh no!
I said ’far out, - what a day, a year, a laugh it is!’
You know, - well you know you had it comin’ to you,
Now there’s not a lot I can do.

Well work it out someday

If I could see something
You can see anything you want boy
If I could be someone-
You can be anyone, celebrate boy.
If I could do something-
Well you can do something,
If I could do anything-
Well can you do something out of this world?

Take a dream on a sunday
Take a life, take a holiday
Take a lie, take a dreamer
Dream, dream, dream, dream, dream along...

Dreamer, you know you are a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
I said dreamer, you’re nothing but a dreamer
Well can you put your hands in your head, oh no!
Oh no!

Jamie Hewlett’s fab Fireball’ top trumps from several years ago (‘Fireball’ : Jamie Hewlett does a drug-inspired rip-off of Wacky Races, it’s the best thing he ever did, it totally fucking rocked my bollocks off - in a good way), anyway they had 3 categories: Stength, Max Speed, and Funk Rating. I had thought I’d just apply these randomly. Like I say, it’s all about the drawings, maaan


Kegboy - I cant believe you just typed all that out

For some reason when singing it I aways break into a Micheal Caine / Dick Van Dyk (Mary Poppins version) accent.
 
 
Suedey! SHOT FOR MEAT!

I dispute that.
