Each Move Must Consist Of Precisely Eight Words

Just as it says on the tin. What happens in the game may be debated in the game: perhaps it'll be a conversation, perhaps a word-limited reprise of various games we play, or whatever.

What about Jo Dolce 'Shut Uppa Your Face'?
Outscores "Itsy Bitsy Teeny Weeny Yellow Polkadot Bikini".
Polkadot? One word? Taking the poetic mickey methinks :-)
I'm still cross about my two parking tickets :o(
Awe, tell us all about it, please pen.
My own stupid fault really, but it's expensive.
How expensive are parking tickets where you live?
£50 in Notting Hill, but £40 in Ealing
Ealing would seem a bargain. It's £60 here.
I want parking tickets from somewhere more glamorous
I'm afraid I can only offer you Warlingham.
If you think Jersey is glamorous, pay mine!
I was in Jersey only seven weeks ago.
I was in pullover only seven minutes ago.
I watched the Torchwood trailer seven seconds ago.
I'll be done typing in seven seconds' time.
That's less than a second per typed word!
Does depend where you start timing from though.
Some of us type more quickly than others!
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy
morniverser, who really ought not post an unfinished
sentence when there are so many just waiting
Waiting for what? The bus will be late.
Does anyone get reliable bus service these days?
I'm sure the Germans do, being so efficient.
Wo ist mein bus, er ist nicht gekommen.
Maybe my assertion lacks in situ experimental verification.
Why are we discussing busses at this time?
Is "busses" the correct spelling? It looks wrong.
If you aren't sure, then say "kisses" instead.
It's buses. I shall be subject to abuses.
Either buses or busses according to my dictionary.
Don't be silly. Everybody knows it is "bi."
I never heard double deckers called 'Bi' before.
Unless they like a bit of motorem bum
That should be " . . . bit motoris bi". (Genitive case).
Does "Aquitaine" actually rhyme with the word "queen"?
No, but Software's French is good, unless pissed.
One decided to invoke plummy British Royal pronunciation.
I do not find this explanation wholly convincing.
How about: "...France and England queen she became"?
Better - but does 'became' actually rhyme with 'Aquitaine' :-)
Methane rhymes with Aquitaine. It's a gas, though.
Methane, ethane, propane, butane - they're all rhyming gases.
Shall we continue where we left off, chaps?
How many more rhyming gasses can you supply?
Fluorine, chlorine, phosphine, arsine, acetylene, ethylene, propylene, allene. You shouldn't have asked. :-)
Can you name eight gases rhyming with "oxygen"?
[Rosie] Why not? I'm beguiled and delighted. Thanks.
I think naming gasses is far too elementary.
One only comes up with such puns periodically.
I am such a Francophile; I say "a-kee-ten".
Actually, I think "a-kee-ten", but say "a-kwee-tain" aloud.
I'm such a chemist I say "A ketone".
(Quendalon) Hydrogen, nitrogen, cyanogen is all there are.
I wonder if there were any Aquitainaise chemists?
Yes, they stick dipropylene glycol in the wines. Allegedly.
But surely Rosie's last post contains nine words?
That was a mightily bold statement young Darren.
If Rosie's wasn't nine then this contains nought.
Or does it have to be italicised also?
Seems I've caused a bit of a shemozzle.
Can we have a ruling on italics usage?
Perhaps we need a ruling on fonts too?
And let's not forget coloured words as well.
How long did that take you to type?
I'm not sure how that might be relevant.
Who are people appealing to for rulings though?
I am always glad to issue a ruling.
What? Did somebody ask me something just then?
You have spelt your own name wrong. Imposter!
That guy never claimed he was Humphrey Lyttelton.
The poster also never claimed he was male.
Furthermore, I have never claimed I am female.
Plenty of other people have done so, though.
Many people think that Chalky is a man.
Some must think you're just ones and noughts.
Wired ran a challenge. Can we match it?
Yes. Needs a separate game. Perhaps eight words?
I'm rather bored, who's up for some ping-pong?
*grabs bat, throws ball up... down, serves* ping!
Pong! This homophone deserves greater exploitation, I feel.
Ping also has certain atributes for Unix® enthusiasts.
Pong was a game. Before my time alas.
I feel sure you must have experienced pongs.
As an industrial chemist I experienced them professionally.
As an effluent analyst, I experienced some too.
You are clearly a woman of many parts.
Rosie, the things I did you wouldn't believe
Maybe you could try to test our credulity.
Ping, Pang and Pong are characters in Turandot.
So, guess who got laid last night then?
How many guesses are we allowed to have?
nights is merely telling us he's a carpet.
People have told me that all my life.
I shouldn't stand for that. Trip them up.
Glad we resisted jokes about "shag" and "piles."
We have done so far. Melvyns and Chalfonts.
I'm off to Paris today. See you Sunday.
'Ave a wondairful 'oleeday chère jhoosteen. À bientôt.
Pen, I hope that you aren't going alone.
Still on the pull at your age? Disgraceful!
I think Rosie has started talking to himself.
"Started", he witters. So little does he know.
He knows you know that I know now.
I am from Warlingham, Surrey. I know nothing.
But even in Warlingham, Surrey, knowledge is power.
That's why SEEboard delivers encyclopaedias but not electricity.
I taught a battery to play Trivial Pursuit.
And now I bet you win every time, Darren.
I've returned from Paris with a stinking cold :o(
Did you have to pay duty on it?
They could take half of it with pleasure
...once they arrested you for carrying illegal immigrants.
Je pense que vous avez un rhume puant.
Je veux vous montrer ma compétence en français.
What's the bloody French for 'Dead Ended Conversation'?
Conversation tout inutile. Shall we now move on?
Yes, let's. I have never known any French.
Podemos hablar en Españnol, si lo quieren ustedes
Now stop showing off and speak some English :-)
Enough linguistics. The rain has cleared over here.
That's because it has blown over this way
There's no peace for the wicked of Rickmansworth.
Now it is blowing a gale over here.
I doubt Admiral Beaufort would call it that.
I doubt Kenneth Branagh would call it that.
Where does Kenneth Branagh come in on this?
I just mentioned him. I did that indeed.
But is he an experienced marine meteorological observer?
Does that matter though? Julian Clary wouldn't either.
What has camping got to do with meteorology?
Humans are the only species who go camping
I thought bears were particularly good at camping.
They defecate in woods but live in cities.
A big one circles the pole every night.
A bit like a pole dancer then, Rosie?
The women in this place are agreeably bawdy.
Trying to pole-dance, but not been to Poland
Trying to shop, but not been to Iceland.
No self will today, bought bar of chocolate.
No Will Self either, whom I rather like.
My new car is bloody full of water.
Have you driven it off of a bridge?
No, I think the sunroof has a leak.
