The Late Shift: IS IT LATE ENOUGH?

00:13 / 19.01.05

This one’s fine. Shift is what you make it. We all just need to try a little harder.

I just watched Starship Troopers. I remember not liking it when it came out, but now it looks like a work of complete and utter bloody genius. How does that work? It’s the same film as it was before.

00:13 / 19.01.05

It’s a bit like olives, in that respect.

Er.. get well soon, Sally!

alas

00:18 / 19.01.05

I don't know anyone named toddy except my brother in law.

I don't need him, right now, myself. I can't speak for Sally of course.

Why are we wrong, oulabelle? Why? Y?

00:24 / 19.01.05

We are not wrong and this thread is exactly as it should be. And I should know, I was there.

00:24 / 19.01.05

Alas, mainly, it's the diet fucking. That whole interchange is slightly too twisted...

I do know the Lateshift starting rule because I believe I started one once. Many, many moons ago. *Reflects on the long-ago-ness of idle days which allowed much lateshift attendance.*

Poorly you Sally. Indeed have a hot toddy. Lemon. Honey. Whiskey. Um. I think.

Easy on the honey and lemon.

Mazarine

00:26 / 19.01.05

I think I just might.

00:26 / 19.01.05

Have one for me too Sally!

alas

00:27 / 19.01.05

But I loved the diet fucking thread. Admit it: you've fucked a diet, haven't you?

00:27 / 19.01.05

I have considered this and it's the combination of the words boner, diet and fucking in the same sentence.

I don't think I'm odd in finding this slightly peculiar.

00:30 / 19.01.05

Ah good ol diet boner: when your edible undies are made by weight watchers.

lekvar

00:32 / 19.01.05

At the risk of being crude, I do believe boners are Atkins friendly. But you have to leave the whipped cream and chocolate sauce off, of course.

00:33 / 19.01.05

Aw, I wish I hadn't eaten that.

Bed Head: Olives were, and continue to be, absolutely rancid. I am sorry.

If someone starts a new shift, I move that it should be called "The LATE BONER FUCKING DIET SHIFT ! "

00:34 / 19.01.05

Well I dont plan on adding them to my diet anytime ever.

00:34 / 19.01.05

Obviously this is not to be confused with the fucking diet, whereby you have heaps and heaps of sex which makes you so happy (and worn-out) that you get thin.

00:35 / 19.01.05

In china Olives are left in sugared water for weeks on end and then eaten like candy.

00:36 / 19.01.05

All I’m seeing now is a diet based around copious amounts of Bonio. That’s Bonio, as in ‘Bonio, the original bone shaped biscuit for dogs’ Bonio. It’s supposed to be good healthy eating, but still....

00:36 / 19.01.05

Every girl I know has been on that diet.. its all I hear about. " I hate this fucking diet!" " If I dont loose 15 pounds on this fucking diet...."

00:38 / 19.01.05

Suedey, the deal with olives is (allegedly) that you keep eating them until you get past the 'wanting to heave all over your dinner plate' phase and instead become a classy, elegant person who sees bowls of olives in posh bars and spears them expertly with the little stick provided going, "Oh look, yummy! An olive!" With much relish.

Apparently, there's a definite transition point for this which I have yet to reach.

00:39 / 19.01.05

Olives should only be served in a martini

00:40 / 19.01.05

Its a lie! One like "Yes, of course this trucker cap is *cool* ".

00:41 / 19.01.05

The fucking diet really doesn't work.

00:42 / 19.01.05

Bed, eating dog biscuits is probably good for you. It would probably work. Maybe you should write a bestselling diet book based on this.

Unless, of course, it's Pedigree Chum making the food, in which case you would just develop horrible Caffeine addiction a la hundreds of cats and dogs currently consuming Pedigree Chum and Whiskas.

alas

00:45 / 19.01.05

But does the bonio diet work?

Oulabelle! In the middle of this thread you changed your name. I'm all discombobulated now.

I want to lose 15 on the fucking diet!

lekvar

00:45 / 19.01.05

Olives are wonderful things which should be eaten off the tips of one's fingers at every possible opportunty.
These are a few of my favorite things:

olives stuffed with garlic

olives stuffed with piminto

olives stuffed with jalapeno

green olives

black olives (salt-cured)

black olives (brine-cured)

black olives (lime-cured)

Santa Barbara Olive Co's olive salsa

the first olive in a jar, so ripe with promise of olive-y goodness

that last olive at the bottom of the jar that is just out of reach

00:46 / 19.01.05

The fucking diet does work. As long as it's the right fucking diet. Obviously copious exercise is better, mind you.

No wait...that is the fucking diet isn't it?

Now I am confused. Which fucking diet are you talking about? Aren't they all fucking crap anyway?

Yours, disillusioned-with-fucking-diets-in-any-form-ly.

00:46 / 19.01.05

I already have a horrifying caffeine addiction. It’s the reconstituted meat component I’m a little wary of, tbh. And it'd probably only actually work as a diet if you could get someone to take you for a run twice a day and throw sticks for you, stuff like that.

alas

00:47 / 19.01.05

I love olives in martinis. That's one of nature's perfect foods. The way they start tasting of gin. Bleu cheese in a martini, so it gets a little cheese cloudy. Oh luverly luverly.

No one's ever changed their name on me in the middle of a conversation, however.

00:52 / 19.01.05

Bed, I should like someone to throw sticks for me and take me for a run I think. It strikes me as far more relaxing than having to argue about the environment with pompous men from English Heritage for a living.

Lekvar, all those things are just a way of disguising olives. Iit's a ploy and a con to make you like them. Do not fall for it.

Alas, discombobulated can be word of the day since you managed to slip it into a normal sentence. Congratulations, yesterdays was 'antithetical' and the day before was 'squabbling'. (Squabbling is not that brilliant, but it was from a six year old.)

00:58 / 19.01.05

Is there a protocol for changing name then?

Rule number one: Always change your name before embarking on a conversation.
Rule number two: If you must change your name mid-sentence, be aware that you may wreak confusion amongst your fellow posters.

Actually, I wanted to be 'Olulabelle, The High Priestess of Odd' but I didn't have enough characters. This is slightly strange considering the name lengths which abound on this board. How many characters do we have, does anyone know?

01:08 / 19.01.05

25, 30? Don’t exactly know. So, who’s left with a particularly long name? - only really Mister Six and Harrison Ford, I think. And I bet Solitaire Rose is ruing the day he shortened his screenname for the Bush Loses fiasco.

I like it. Retro, in a good way.

01:11 / 19.01.05

My name appears to be rather long. Yeah!

Sometimes I do wonder, if at some point I shall ever sit at my computer and write anything of any worth. I have decided: no, no I won't.

01:13 / 19.01.05

My name appears to be Keggers.

01:15 / 19.01.05

Hello, Keggers!
