The Late Shift: Troll Free since 1636

22:30 / 25.04.04

Well there's not really a way to interrupt the Late Shift? What are you gonna do, post something offensive and have it ignored?

22:31 / 25.04.04

That's cos they f33r 0ur m4d 5k177z!

How are you? I'm i my usual "last night of the shift" euphoria, and looking forward muchly to going to the pub in the morning. AND someone's just given me all the Clone Wars cartoons as AVI files, which makes me almost as happy as pie. Star Wars pie.

I've arrived early for the late shift!!! HUZZAH! HUZZAH! HUZZAH! Its only 9.30 here. Bloody Monday morning. I'm a firm believer that mondays should start at 12, so everyone can have a good sleep in...

22:33 / 25.04.04

Hah! Benny, If you were the REAL Brian Blessed, you'd be posting in bold.

What is this unmentionable incident that happened the other night and caused such a kerfuffle? I managed to go away for the exact two nights when there’s a trollstorm and when Maitreya buggered off. I’d be suspicious if it was anyone but little ol’ me.

Maitreya buggered off?

22:44 / 25.04.04

To emphasise: Maitreya buggered off?

22:46 / 25.04.04

Am I misreading this thread? I wouldn’t want to think I’d wasted all that concern for the boy’s mental state.

22:51 / 25.04.04

Oh, I'm sure he'll be back.
No, there was a Wales-related "incident".

22:51 / 25.04.04

That happens periodically, and I'd say nine times out of ten, the person returns within a week or two, usually less. We're just that addictive. Like carbohydrates. Or heroin.

22:53 / 25.04.04

heroin pie?

evenin' all.

22:55 / 25.04.04

Heroin pie!
I've just been browsing cheesenet. Apparently the cheese of the day is Tetilla.

22:57 / 25.04.04

it's packed full of carbs *and* tastytasty opiates...

what kinda cheese is Testilla?

22:57 / 25.04.04

Heroin pie!
I've just been browsing CheeseNet. Apparently the cheese of the day is Tetilla.

22:59 / 25.04.04

wow. thank you for introducing me to cheesenet.

beautiful.

'heroin pie': rich in yummy carbs and tasty opiates...

23:01 / 25.04.04

Barbelith pie, the ultimate high: one slice and you’re hooked?

I just googled Dammerung, trying to find out what Maz’s new name means, the tenth result down was a Barbelith thread handily defining the word for me. This place is very visible now. It’s a bit odd to think of.

23:02 / 25.04.04

I'm on Atkins - I'll have to eat the tasty heroin filling and leave the crust.

Like a heroin pasty, really.

Speaking of which - I am enthused and disturbed by the sudden proliferation across London railway stations of Cornish pasty shops. In many ways the pasty is indeed a perfect commuting foodstuff, but it seems off somehow...

23:02 / 25.04.04

there are hundreds of eyes out there, oozy.

any reason for the name change? or is it best we don't know?

23:04 / 25.04.04

"Twilight", I think, Bed Head, but you probably got that by now. A pun on "Gotterdammerung" or "Gotzendammerung", I imagine.

23:06 / 25.04.04

It's very classy - BH - The Tempest, yes?

23:08 / 25.04.04

confoosed. oozy bedhead=Tempest?

23:09 / 25.04.04

BiP - yeah. As in, drowned. The oozy bed being the sea bed.

23:10 / 25.04.04

What, my name change? A terrible mistake. But the first version was even worse (shudder). And now I’ve gone and shaved my head, so I’m going to have to come up with something I can change it to that manages to emphasise the theoretical, state-of-mind element of my bedheadedness for the next month or two.

23:10 / 25.04.04

Goddamn you Haus, you are fantastic. Spot on.

23:12 / 25.04.04

Hmm, I feel like a parrot tonight- the tempest? What? Who? Where? I'm too lazy to work these things out for myself.

23:12 / 25.04.04

I say, that was a bit late. I'm like a lethargic parrot!

23:13 / 25.04.04

Tempest. An old-skool shoot 'em up. Like Galaxians only swirlier.

(God, that English Lit degree really did me a lot of good, didn't it?)

23:15 / 25.04.04

*quick google*

OIC. very classy. and thanks muchly, haus. v.impressive.

bedheadedness *is* a state of mind.

I've been considernig shaving my head today, oddly. My bh is getting ludicrous and i have Lion-O hair.

23:16 / 25.04.04

Act five. Which is like Area 51 in Deus Ex. In more ways than one.

23:16 / 25.04.04

A classy look. But not for summer.

23:17 / 25.04.04

I would like to have really short hair but I don't think it would suit me. It's been very warm the last few days, now's the time to get rid of your mop.
