* sjy starts debate about decimalized time
* shmookey clocks sjy over the head for starting another useless debate
* maset watches with interest
<shmookey> sjy: since you started this, I vote you take minutes of this discussion
<shmookey> anyone second that?
<prothoss> I'll chime in with a couple ideas here and now
<shmookey> good, hour discussions are always better with lots of participants
<thebmw> I'd give you a hand, but I'm leaving work now
<maset> this is all just a big wind up
<prothoss> it should be a pretty epoch discussion
<thebmw> any moment now, someone is sure to spring into action
<shmookey> now now, no need to be alarmed
<thebmw> that kind of talk has the potential to earn you a slap on the wrist
<prothoss> that's more like it, seasoning this up with some action!
* prothoss cycles on home
<shmookey> on your cheap second-hand bicycle?
* thebmw is getting ticked off -

<sjy> hmm, let's have a heated debate about nuclear power
<shmookey> you're just fission for controversy
<shmookey> really, no matter how logically anyone argues about it, you'll just laugh atom
<sjy> you're just a little boy, your opinion means nothing
<sjy> I think that we could all be enriched by this discussion
<thebmw> your argument is just a fusion of ideas
<shmookey> seriously though, nuclear power is the bomb
<thebmw> I would make some more points, but fear you'd just go ballistic
<shmookey> so would I, but last time I did you had some sort of meltdown
<sjy> isotope you've considered all the pros and cons before making such a statement
<thebmw> besides, nuclear power will probably fallout of use soon anyway
<shmookey> did chernobyl gates supports nuclear power
<thebmw> how about we talk some more over polonium sandwiches?
<thebmw> or would you prefer a trip to francium?
<sjy> that's sub-critical, we can do it later
<sjy> the quality of this conversation is decaying
<sjy> beta come up with something good before i need to split
<thebmw> but I thought you were the alpha male?
<sjy> nah, I spend most of my nights alone playing half-life
<thebmw> That's not a good plan, you can't make a korea out of doing that
<sjy> what-eV-a
<thebmw> c, that attitude's just asking for trouble
<shmookey> I wish I could work out how to make the radio active on my phone :(
<shmookey> I'm just about depleted for ideas
<sjy> I guess we've reached critical mass
<sjy> that's enough puns fermi, anyway
<thebmw> yeah, they are starting to bohr me
<sjy> I'm going to go and listen to some heavy metal
<thebmw> I'd rutherford listen to drum + bass right now
<thebmw> sorry, I think I executed that one rather pauli
<thebmw> but I do feel that I was lead on -

< shmookey> can anyone recommend me some kind of book holding device suitable for lying about on couches and beds and stuff?
< sjy> I would just feel like an idiot having some contraption hold a book in front of my face for me
< victor> maybe, but it sure would be handy
< shmookey> I guess someone just needs to come up with a novel idea for one
< shmookey> maybe I'm not reading deeply enough into it, but it seems like an easy problem to solve
< shmookey> there must be some kind of story behind the patents for them not being more popular
< shmookey> maybe everyone's already booked out for this evening
< victor> i tried to think of a pun that would somehow incorporate "stop posting" but my mind WAS A BLANK PAGE
< shmookey> there's a whole library of possibilities
< shmookey> and it's not like manual labour
< victor> im not good at coming up with references
< shmookey> that's because you're spineless
< shmookey> nah you're all write
< shmookey> apart from victor I can't get a single chapter contribute :(
< victor> theres a fine line between pun and malapropism
< victor> noone here respects your title
< victor> theres too much spacing between our replies
< shmookey> that's the word on the street, I hear
victor> this requires too much inking
< victor> i wonder how many we'll get through before it comes to a full stop
< shmookey> yeah, I think we're pretty much sentenced to stay here until we exhaust all the easy ones
< shmookey> on the author hand, maybe we already have
< victor> this excersise is really punctuating my inability to start my assignment
< victor> which is bad because im sure the law department wants my paper back
< shmookey> yeah, same. the sheer volume of work in front of me this study break is scary
< victor> Ive certainly got a lot to cover
< shmookey> don't let it make you lose the plot
< shmookey> you're not the first person to be swamped with work
< victor> I can handle the pressure, ive got a lot of character
< victor> this activity is really hard to put down
< victor> I think the time Ive spent doing it illustrates my point well
< shmookey> it's kind of comical that we're racking our brains on this instead of stuff we need to do
< victor> this has got to be a record for two-man punning
< shmookey> yeah, it's been pretty epic
< victor> by the time i get my work done the grass will be covered in dewey
< victor> that one was pretty bad, but when it comes to punning I cant roll with the prose
< victor> you, on the other hand, are in pretty good form
< shmookey> IRC is a pretty good setting for puns
< coxy> http://img.waffleimages.com/327eb4340f88b964a6810a4a8e67978d219f12b1/sdfsdfsdfsdfsdfdsf.jpg
< shmookey> the cold makes me too indexterous to type quickly
< shmookey> the contents of this window is now almost entirely puns
< victor> you just turned a new page in lateral thinking
< victor> coxy you ruined the streak when you could have been a valuable third person
< shmookey> still cold though :(. I hear peruse nice this time of year, maybe I should go there
< victor> some hot skim milk should warm you up
< shmookey> yeah, and stories of the grass being greener elsewhere are generally fiction
< victor> its hard to know if you've gone to far at tomes
< shmookey> as long as you don't mention your colon you'll be alright
< shmookey> the guy across the road is always making a bracket
< shmookey> maybe I should slash his tyres
< victor> or beat him into a comma
< shmookey> either way, it would involve putting my asterisk
< victor> i really need to get to work, but I dont want to parse up this opportunity
< victor> the pun truly is mightier than the sword
< shmookey> yeah, I need to dash off too. it's been fun. -

<^spyn> i'm getting all wired up
<thebmw> don't let the power get to your head
<vixen> i'll have to call in the coppers
<^spyn> there should be enough capacity
<vixen> perhaps you should conduct yourself in a more positive manner
<vixen> you had the potential to be so much greater
<vixen> although, I guess it's not your volt
<^spyn> would they get me for battery?
<^spyn> its okay, i will solder on

< shmookey> oh you missed my snide comment
< cameron> You need better comedic thyming.
< cameron> Also more variety. It's the spice of humour.
< shmookey> it's that season again is it?
* shmookey shrugs gingerly
* cameron laughs.
< cameron> You're nuts!
< cameron> I was just giving you some sage advice.
< shmookey> calling people names can be a form of a salt
< cameron> No need for such a chili attitude
< shmookey> haha don't worry, I'm just capering
< shmookey> I expect in half an hour the window will be peppered with these silly puns
< ^spyn> do it again
< cameron> You mean to say that shmookey and I think we're fennel but we're not? :P
< splintax> where are you saucing these puns from?
< thebmw> you want to know where those puns are cummin from?
< ^spyn> oh god
< shmookey> haha thebmw that was mint
< cameron> Yeah, one of the few puns here that actually cuts the mustard
< shmookey> ^spyn you will rue the day you interrupted our pun session
< ^spyn> shmookey: are you some kind of sage because you are telling how it is
< Gretel> oh for fucks sake guys
< shmookey> Gretel is clearly nettled by our poor wordplay
< Gretel> oh yes very clever
< splintax> we're just trying to spread happiness
< Gretel> heh.
< splintax> no need to redress us for it
< ^spyn> there is plenty of thyme for happiness
< splintax> ^spyn: way to reuse our buns -

<shmookey> "How on earth am I going to do a search-and-replace from the command-line?", Tom said.
<splintax> "I guess I'll have to search through the man pages", he griped.
<splintax> "Let me go", mumbled Tom cagily.
<hell_hou1d> "I am cold," said Tom coldly
<shmookey> "I know, I'll output all the text to the terminal", said Tom cattily.
<shmookey> "But if only I could just output the last bit...", Tom tailed off.
<splintax> "Well, that's showbiz," mused Tom.
<splintax> "I wish the mail server was online," pined Tom.
<cameron> "I suck at coming up with these", Tom shouted over the vacuum cleaner.
<shmookey> "Someone else can deal with all this data", Tom piped up.
<splintax> "This file must be renamed," moved Tom.
<shmookey> "This file must be renamed," copied Frank.
<splintax> "It's a shame I can't read that fast," mourned Tom.
<shmookey> "Mail's still not up...", Tom muttered.
<splintax> "Guess I'll have to read it manually," Tom said vimdictively.
<splintax> "If only this software were cross-platform," whined Tom.
<@Zanchey> "What a change," Tom trilled.
<@Zanchey> "We need regularity in our expressions," Tom said.
<splintax> There was something wrong with this user, but Tom couldn't put his finger on it.
<shmookey> "Why do you stay still for so long, n00b?" Tom sniped.
<@Zanchey> "Just take the third one," Tom said cuttingingly.
< splintax> "?", said Ed.
<@Zanchey> "I've got the power," he said sharply.
<@Zanchey> "Can you put it together?" Tom asked.
<shmookey> "Web's down too," said Tom, linking his ideas together
<splintax> "Everybody's talking," said Tom of the controversy.
<@Zanchey> "It's a pity," Tom consoled her.
<shmookey> "I'm thinking of going to Java," said Ruby.
<splintax> "Why is termcap so complicated?" cursed Tom.
<@Zanchey> "Just link them together," said Tom, keeping a lid on his anger.
<splintax> "I feel like I'm reinventing the wheel here," said Tom glibly.
<@Zanchey> wow, that's amazingly foresighted, they've extended the due time from 9am to 12mid due to the fremantle line shutdown
<shmookey> "That's amazingly foresighted," said Zanchey, busily.
<splintax> "Why not watch the F1 racing?" offered Tom helpfully.
<shmookey> "I just got an M3," beamed Tom.
<splintax> "Pfft, a German car?" lambasted Jerry.
<splintax> "It's the best I can afford", said Tom speedily.
