Hey, I’m allowed to feed myself cookies and ‘mine’ pies and stuff. And I’m very much looking forward to Angua’s white chocolate cookies. Harem girls? As a realist, I doubt this option is likely to be offered at any time.
You aren’t a hypnotist as well as an illusionist then?
garius, just trust me about the mascapone. 
My mind (which is over-worked at the moment), has only just, within the context, worked out a second interpretation to this quote, as opposed to garius wondering why I need mascapone. All I can say is bwahahahahahahaha!!!
You could plant “suggestions” in people’s minds, in the style of the mini-LonDope. 
Please do explain…we could use some amusement around here.
probably best if she doesn’t.
[sub]she forgot to take here dried frog pills this morning[/sub]
Right, firstly, put your mind in the gutter.
Secondly, Gyrate’s quote:
Thirdly, ianzin’s response to that:
Fourthly, my response:
Fifthly, garius’ judicious use of quoting from the above quoted post:
Now, take the above quote, and reference it back to ianzin’s original quote. Then tell me I’m bad and I have a dirty mind.
Oh, and garius, they’ve taken me off the dried frog pills. 
**Angua, ** either my mind isn’t nearly as deep in the gutter as yours (which I doubt somehow - it’s my natural habitat), or I’m thick in the head (I hope not), or I haven’t had enough caffeine yet (entirely possible), but I’m still not getting it. Assistance, please/ I know sometimes it ruins jokes if you over-analyze them, but so be it.
Don’t worry - this one was never funny outside the Anguaverse anyway.
[sub]Actually I should stop saying things like that since within a week and a half she’ll be within groin-kicking range.[/sub] :eek:
Yeah, its entirely possible. Either that or I just have far too dirty and twisted a mind which can see connections between discussions about people inserting things into other people, and a comment about needing to get an orange and lots of butter.
Quite. And seeing as I won’t have had chance to kick the crap out of that nasty nasty boy who’s put my brother in hospital, I’ll have some pent up fustration, which I will not be taking out on any of you, but will be on a punch bag.
I would just like to point out here, that I don’t mean this. At all. I’m sorry for having posted that comment.
why be sorry? knock the fucking shit out of him if youve got good reason to.
Yeah, but comments about inflicting bodily harm on others is liable to get your posting privileges revoked.
whoa! having actually bothered to read the thread you linked to, please discount that last post.
I’d just like to say that this is the most successful thread I’ve ever started - over 800 posts and counting. I wonder if we’ll make the big 1K before the event itself?
While we quietly celebrate and stand in awe of this collective achievement, aware that only a small fraction of these posts have had anything to do with actually organising a Dopefest, let us pay tribute to those who have toiled in the most Stakhanovite fashion to deliver this result.
According to that very handy stat counter which appears on the forum menu, I myself have only posted 40 times in this thread (including this post). SciFiSam has managed 21 contributions, Tir has popped in 24 times and Gyrate is the first to break the half century, having clicked his way hither on no fewer than 54 occasions.
Then it gets quite fiercely competitive:
Eva Luna 55
Paulberserker 55
Garius 69 (and that’s with a week or so off)
Shade 91
These stats help to cast into sharp relief the achievement of one among us. Ladies and gentlemen, we are not worthy. Behold, I give you our one and only Knee-biting Astronomerette, the very great and glorious:
Angua 247 !
(Stats correct at the time of posting)
247 out of 800? That’s about 31%…
Three in one?? Why not… (said the vicar to the virgins… Or since it’s Angua we’re talking about, probably “said Angua to the studs”…)
I’m sure I’m not really lowering the tone here. It’s already been dragged through the gutter…
At risk of adding to my post count, not to mention being compared to other fearless and merciless Soviet functionaries, I have a question for ianzin: are you bothered by these stats? Do you want us to remain more focused on actual planning? (And hey, a significant proportion of my posts did actually relate to planning and travel logistics.) Or are you just in awe at the sheer volume?
Damn! I have no backup now to my story that I do do something useful all day. Although I will point out that the reason I’m in the office at the moment is to write up the notes for an introductory session on special relativity.
If you post more rapidly, does your prose become more dense?
No, I’m not. It was a just-for-fun post, signifying nothing.
No but she does!
Boom-tsh!
[sub]thankyouverymuch i’m here till wednesday! goodnight![/sub]
