[UK] Flame trees of theta (Thika); Integrate/Mile (8Mile); Sin City (obviously). I was simply going to post "cos(π/2 - City)" but thought it might be a bit too cunning. I note you coped easily with "theta, mu and bob too"...
[irach] I don't think you know how irritating that is? I can't even be bothered to read through your posts to see if any of them are amusing. Hence, I can't be bothered to try and think up any of my own. Another player and I did that once (at least we took turns) and filled in a page or two of a game in half an hour. That was about 10 years ago. I cringe with shame now when I think of how crap an experience that must have been for everybody else.
For my sins, I tend to play first thing in the morning, which is from around midnight for most of you, and maybe add the odd comment at around 4pm (about 7am for you guys) so there is little interaction with other players. It is a bit disconcerting to arrive at work and find that there have been 200 moves since I last posted. Having said that, I know I am guilty of posting long lists of moves but it does tend to be the norm in this game. Should we maybe look at limiting the number of consecutive moves to 3 or 4?
Other notable offenders to the general 'only post one or two' rule are myself and UK as, although we do 'only post one or two', we play ping pong during office hours and by the time irach or nfras get there it's thirty or forty new ones for them. We're trying to find somewhere else to play so we don't piss so many people off but no luck so far with the Lockisseum...
[IS,P!] Perhaps the four of you could meet up and do it like a panel game. I'd be willing to chair... sounds a good concept. Maybe Radio 4 would be interested.
[All recent disputants] I'm as guilty as the next man of overposting (as long as the next man's I Say, Porter!). I do confess that the huge blocks by irach & nfras are a little overwhelming on first sight, but as this is a fast moving game only at certain hours of the day, I can appreciate the frustration of sitting on a raft of good moves with the possibility that you'll never get the opportunity to play them all 2 or 3 at a time. Having said that, let me just add: Doc Savage - Man of Cu6Sn5
[UK] Have you actually seen that? Let's recap: We've had Butchers, Greengrocers, Bakers, Weightwatchers, Police etc., Publicans, Interior decorators, Gardeners, Chemists, Takeaway/restaurant, DJs, and Physicists mathematicians and the like. How about The religiously inclined in all their guises.
[IS,P] 'fraid not - just remember the poster campaign. Wanted to catch it at the time, though, as I'm a big fan of Joseph Fiennes. Anyway, on with the game! The Vicar Man
[IS,P] Oh! T'was sent at about 3.15... Not to worry: try nick dot kirby, and, with an at, add that onto the front of lbbd dot gov dot uk and see if it gets through the corporate spam filter!
[irach] Well, we've already had Interior decorators half a dozen clubs ago, which covered most of these topics. Whilst your two are not duplicates, I can't see this one extending the Club very far, personally, and it'll be a bit of a pain to check duplicates... Recap II: We've had Butchers, Greengrocers, Bakers, Weightwatchers, Police etc., Publicans, Interior decorators, Gardeners, Chemists, Takeaway/restaurant, DJs, Physicists etc, and the religiously inclined.
[IS,P] OK - I thought that one might fall flat! A collision between the Marx Bros' film "Duck Soup", and a slang term for high-power lager, "Electric Soup".
[I Say Porter] (Heard) Bit of a personal blind spot. Expect more of this. (4th) I was refering to the DVD "Gold" Edition with deleted scenes, commentary and gag reel. If they can sell it again, I can use it again.
Is it just me, or is this "Farmer" classification a mite broad for this game? It seems we are using up all sorts of (perfectly acceptable) titles that would be even funnier for different but more restricting occupations. Not complaining, mind, just observing
[Sierra] Yes, and it also overlaps with several occupations already done. I was about to play Abbatoir -- The Movie and discovered I'd used it in the very first round.
The Santa Bug, The Touch of Santa, Son of Santa, The Brotherhood of Santa, Santa Never Sleeps, Daughters of Santa, Santa Hates You, Sold To Santa ...and many many more.
Time for a new club? I was going to suggest Sex Maniac and Nympho Film Club but I'm not sure if the possibility of offending everyone and coaxing responses that will show everyone at their worst is worth the opportunity to play Give Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia. Has anyone a good idea for a film club?
One Hit Wonder Film Club? Bring Me The Right Said Fred of Alfredo Garcia "I'm too sexy for all this driving around with a rotting head on the Mexican Border..."
The Society For the Preservation Of The Dignity of Dead People Through Cosmetic Grooming Film Club? Trim Me The Head Of Alfredo Garcia. [blamelewis] I liked your "instead" ones very much.
An all-star cast, too numerous to mention, in The Man Who Would Be The Man Who Wasn't The Man Who Knew The Man Who Sued The Man Who Shot The Man Who Forgot The Man Who Fell to Earth
And reworking one of irach's earlier efforts - Teenage mutant nINJa turtles Every time I think this game's had it, someone comes up with another twist - brilliant!
Dr. Stormwraith or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying and Love the BlobSW doesn't really fit in there, but I wanted to stick someone else in there anyway >.>
