Dutch
06:29 / 11.06.07
I rub the sand out of my eyes, I do
 
 
Jack Denfeld
06:35 / 11.06.07
sandy eyes would suck. im bored and hungry. got any food?
 
 
Dutch
06:48 / 11.06.07
Yes, I'm not hungry.

You can have my boterham met hagelslag

Hullo. How's everyone? Did I miss anything important the last couple weeks?
 
 
Jack Denfeld
07:08 / 11.06.07
Not really.
 
 
Leigh Monster loses its cool
07:26 / 11.06.07
That's good. May I also have a scary squiggly things on toast?
 
 
Dutch
07:37 / 11.06.07
Those are not scary squiggly things. They are part of our nation's great culinary tradition.

Wortelstampot, now that is scary looking:

can i eat it with that fork-hammer thing?
 
 
Dutch
08:31 / 11.06.07
It is possible, but not very practical. It usually serves only the purpose of mashing all of the potentially tasty ingredients together in order to create the multicoloured mash of doom you see before you.

Hammerfork is going to be the name of my new Blood Bowl team.
 
 
Quantum
01:40 / 12.06.07
Good name.
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:02 / 12.06.07
Is that mashed potatos and turnips?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
03:22 / 12.06.07
I was Monster Boy all day, eating villagers and demanding virgin sacrifice, snatching goats from bridges and generally not dealing with the human race well, but now I feel rather at peace...and there's a late shift! I have been in the desert for so long without one. You forget the things that aren't there anymore, sometimes*.

* - What?
 
 
Dutch
08:45 / 12.06.07
It's actually mashed potatoes and carrots, horrible stuff
 
 
Evil Scientist
09:44 / 12.06.07
That sounds quite pleasant. It'd never take the place of garlic mash though.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
02:32 / 15.06.07
Anyone else up and about on the Lith?
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:45 / 15.06.07
Indeed!
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
02:51 / 15.06.07
Good old one-horn. How's life in the hat business?

Wow. Late shift number one. Such a momentous occasion.

My phone died this evening... time to invest in Stand Alone Complex for a moment or two. It's the Retrograde of Mercury, I tell you.
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:53 / 15.06.07
I got out of the hat buiness, damn lions kept popping out of them.

Calling it Number One, doesnt really make it number one.

Just 'cause you say you're Spartacus doesn't mean you're Spartacus.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
02:55 / 15.06.07
Does it feel like it's always Mercury in Retrograde these days?

Why on earth is this Number One, anyway? Isn't it more like Number 1001?
 
 
Saint Keggers
02:56 / 15.06.07
Maybe we hit 99 and the counter reset?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
03:00 / 15.06.07
Or the late shifts get together, lumbering in the great Barbefields while we finally rest our eyes, and they fight. They fight and they die while we snore.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:02 / 15.06.07
or, they merge to form UltraShifticon!
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
03:05 / 15.06.07
And then beat up the Work Shift and call it names. Names like Susan, or Anthony, or Beryl.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:13 / 15.06.07
Oh Ultrashifticon, is there any shift you cannot mock with your vast repetoire of names? Surely other shift quake at the mere mention of your name.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
03:14 / 15.06.07
Didn't there used to be an early shift? Anyone seen it around anywhere, lately? Hmmmmmm?
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:20 / 15.06.07
Its best not to mention the earlyshift... just pretend nothing happened.
 
 
COG
03:35 / 15.06.07
up too early with the wind outside banging lots of doors in my block. Noise! only 5 hours sleep and a long day ahead.
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
03:38 / 15.06.07
Aha! The Earlyshift, now broadcasting live from within the belly of the Lateshift!
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
03:39 / 15.06.07
Do you sleep well with ear plugs, COG? I find they help considerably.
 
 
COG
03:44 / 15.06.07
I've tried them in the past, but they wouldn't have helped this morning. The door that was banging was mine, I was just too lazy/drowsy to secure all the hatches.
 
 
Saint Keggers
03:45 / 15.06.07
I thought only ships had hatches?
 
 
Hallo, Paper Spaceboy
03:52 / 15.06.07
Maybe COG's on a ship!
