Gareth is showing us how during the 1970s rugby balls were made of varnished wood.

Oh, I forgot to ask. Did anyone tape/download/whatever the Xmas special? As I did not go to Herts, I did not get to see it.

Dance - to flail one's limbs around like a maniac or to do whatever the caller tells you to do, dead simple.

I'll download it for you.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 12:58 (seventeen years ago) link

Yes, and it will go into that folder with all of Torchwood that you never ever burn for me. :-(

― masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 12:59 (seventeen years ago) link

xpost CJ ha - yes! And the Pontypool front-row was made of varnished wood too.

Come round my house and make me do it or ring me whilst I am in and make me do it, I am a forgetful fool.

I was considering buying it because my mum thought Captain Jack was handsome, (she nearly died when he and Ecclescake kissed - guess she is related to me) but thought better of buying something sight unseen if I did not know the quality.

"Gosh, I never knew No.8 was a monotreme!"

Up and Under, here we go
Are you ready, yes or no?
Up and Under, here we go
It's the song of the Pontypool Front Row.

Ah, Max Boyce.

i want to make some MISCHIEF, what can i do?

― emsk ( emsk ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 13:20 (seventeen years ago) link

More Max :

"It's hard, duw, it's hard,
Harder than they'll ever know,
If ham was underground,
Would it be 12p a pound?
And the pithead bath's a supermarket now."

What's a monotreme?

― Dr.C (Dr.C), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 13:22 (seventeen years ago) link

Mischief is bad. Resist the urge. It's all fun and games until someone gets their eye poked out.

― masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 13:24 (seventeen years ago) link

Monotreme = a mammal that lays eggs eg a platypus.

Duw it's hard is a tear-jerker.

I took my helmet home with me, filled it full of earth
Planted little flowers there, and they grew for all they're worth.
It's hanging in the glass house now, a living memory
Reminding me they could have grown in vases over me

EBONY BONES are playin tonight @ windmill. i am not going bc i have to pick up veggies in hackney by 8.30, but they are playing approx 34875926 times in the next 2 months anyway.

Stop, CJ, stop! I'm fillin' up, mun.

Run up to boys, pull their pigtails and run away again.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 13:34 (seventeen years ago) link

Trying to find new wallpaper for the home 'puter.

Damn, I wish this work 'puter would do wallpaper. :-(

― masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 13:35 (seventeen years ago) link

Good mischief doesn't result in eyes being poked out, just confusion leading to hilarious consequences. Why don't you re-arrange some furniture? Or showing frogs to scared boys?

xxx-post Kate - what switches are busted on Jazzy?

― Dr.C (Dr.C), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 13:58 (seventeen years ago) link

The important one that switches between the knobs and the dials.

Mischief is the spice of life. Start telling a selection of Pete lies. Did you know that the Pope is not the head of state of The Vatican?

Torchwood = like the X-Files from the other side, where the impressive trenchcoated and torchlighted heroes are the men (and women) in black whose job it is to cover up all the mysteries. Sadly not as good as Men In Black. Also a study of sexual mores in Binge Britain, and of how interoffice tensions work them selves out in a no-oversight "we are the law" setting (these two observations nicked from mark s, but steal from the best). Lots of boy on boy and girl on girl action, if that's what your mother likes. Captain Jack is the leader - he's not very good at it, but it does mean that he's less Jackish than in the main series.

Prepositions, Ed, they could save your life! 'Dance with' as in 'adjacent to, and ideally eventually overlapping'. It seems a standard tool in the modern bachelor's repetoire, but I've rarely even noticed the opportunity until afterwards.

xpost - yikes. Is it stuck on riddim circuit? Should be possible to fix tho.

― Dr.C (Dr.C), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:08 (seventeen years ago) link

No Star Trek on this thread. Only Dr. Who and Babylon 5.

Q: How many Vorlons does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: PERHAPSSSSSS....

x-post I could probably be able to fix it if I got a new switch thing. It has snapped off.

You can mend just about anything with superglue!

― C J (C J), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:09 (seventeen years ago) link

Not guitars. I'm pretty good with a soldering iron on my pedals, but bad things tend to happen when I take my guitars to pieces...

...I could rule the universe if I had a Sonic Soldering Iron.

Run up to boys, pull their pigtails and run away again.

this is v appealing to me. but would it be appealing to said boys? unfortunately i have no frogs.

― emsk ( emsk ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:16 (seventeen years ago) link

...or a Sonic Smouldering Iron.

― masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:17 (seventeen years ago) link

Dancing without injury to myself or others is not something in my reportoire. I was so bruised after the cut a shine solstice do. I'd like to think I was set upon by dykes but I believe it was all self inflicted.

Emsk, you will never know until you try.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:19 (seventeen years ago) link

Actually, I think I tripped over you at Cut A Shine solstice which may account for some of the bruising. I do apologise, I blame the alkyhell.

If you find a boy with pigtails to pull, please to let me know. Especially if freckles are involved. I would like to... err, watch.

― masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:20 (seventeen years ago) link

?!?

― emsk ( emsk ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:23 (seventeen years ago) link

Freckles are cute. As are pigtails.

Oh, never mind, the universal translator is playing up again and I am making no sense.

― masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:26 (seventeen years ago) link

ahahahaha! yep i know your freckles/pigtails wuv. i dunno if i want to be um er a voyee tho, even if it is just um er pigtail-pulling.

― emsk ( emsk ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:29 (seventeen years ago) link

:-(

― masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:31 (seventeen years ago) link

ANYWAY ANYWAY, the one i am thinking of you would not think he was cuet.

― emsk ( emsk ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:45 (seventeen years ago) link

or the other one.

― emsk ( emsk ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:48 (seventeen years ago) link

I am having post-lunch slump and am doing a sad.

― masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:48 (seventeen years ago) link

Kate and emsk love asterix.

― Ed (dali), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:49 (seventeen years ago) link

I dunno about girls in pigtails. I think the jury is still out on that one.

ASTERIX! Thank you. For some reason I thought Brian Blessed had pig tails in Flash Gordon, but I may have been thinking Asterix.

― Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:51 (seventeen years ago) link

I have a friend who goes *very* melty if her pigtails are pulled.

J Depp in Pirates Of The Whatsit: The Thingy Of Someone-Or-Other has a pigtailed beard, of course.

― Forest Pines (ForestPines), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:53 (seventeen years ago) link

haha jb i cannot believe you aren't sure about pigtails, with your love of teh twee indiegurls!

― emsk ( emsk ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 14:54 (seventeen years ago) link

Girls in pigtails are so cuet. At least, people used to tell me so when I still wore my hair thusly. Once upon a time.

― masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:00 (seventeen years ago) link

OMG my office crush has just walked in!

SHe's wearing groovy flares!

And she's got pigtails! She's soooo hott!

She's gone over to Finance!

Eeeep, what do I do?

― Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:03 (seventeen years ago) link

I must try to stop flinging my head round. It's the least subtle glance ever.

― Johnney B has zeros off the line (stigoftdumpilx), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:05 (seventeen years ago) link

Learn accounting. Now.

― masonic boom (kate), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:05 (seventeen years ago) link

hm now i am considering pigtails which i have not done for about three or four years! if i do that to my hair they each curl up at the end a bit like pippi longstocking.

― emsk ( emsk ), Wednesday, 3 January 2007 15:06 (seventeen years ago) link

Emsk, do you like your hair in pigtails? If so, i reckon go 4 it.

Grrr, stupid co-worker asked me how to do a pivotTable and while I was doing that, officecrush disappeared. Damn, I'm gonna have to track her down.
