*Thomas has Nora in an armlock
Chris: Is that, like, bondage?
Everyone else: ...
Chris: Is that not what bondage is?
Mm and Nora: Chris! No!
Chris: Oh.
Thomas: Yeah, I think you'll want to look it up in a dictionary. Don't look it up on Google and hit I'm Feeling Lucky.
Nora: Now I want to know what his definition is...
Chris: Well, when Will was tying me up, he said something about bondage...?
Thomas: ..."Tying you up"...? Margaret, are you jealous of this "Will" person?
Mm: ...
...Thomas says I should be referring to it as a "winglock".
Nora: So I'm an oily dying penguin.
Thomas: Margaret, I think Nora wants me to oil her up...
*Nora whines
Nora: There's no such thing as Thomas... There's no such thing as Thomas...
Nora: You're lucky I'm wearing a shortish skirt today.
Thomas: Why? I might get to see your ankle?
Nora: There's no such thing as men. There's no such thing as men.
*Mm starts typing
Nora: What have I done now?
*Nora has put her hand in the freezer
Nora: I can't feel my hand!
Thomas: That's because you don't have a hand; it's a wing!
*Nora is attempting to choke Thomas
Nora: Stop coughing! I can't kill you when you're coughing!
Thomas: There's no such thing as penguins... There's no such thing as penguins... See? It doesn't work!

EDIT: I knew I'd mentioned Will tying up Chris! Admittedly, it was only half a sentence on this entry... But it was mentioned, nonetheless. |

Brian: Anyone know where I can find a claw-foot bathtub?
Mm: No. Why do you want one?
Brian: Are you sure you want to know?
Mm: ...
Brian: Fine. For a photo shoot. Three apparently nude models in a milk bath.
Mm: ...So you're doing soft porn.
Brian: No! Apparently naked!
James: On that note, I'm going to the library.
Brian: To get porn?
Chris: I don't think they'd have any.
James: Oh, no; they do. Someone brought some of the books to my Photography class, once.
Mm: I hope they were clean.
Brian: Yeah, just mysteriously missing pages...
*Mm rolls onto her tiptoes, then back down
Justin: Nice hop, there.
Mm: It wasn't a hop. A "hop" is on one foot, and you have to leave the ground. *demonstrates* See?
A "jump" is both feet leaving the ground, and a "leap" is from one foot to the other.
Justin: Nice "bounce", then!
Mm: Much better!
Chris: But that can't be true. Bunnies hop!
Mm: That's because rabbits are retarded.
Justin: I think the rules are somewhat different when it isn't a person.
Chris: Oh...
Justin: So what's skipping, then?
*Mm skips a few steps
Mm: A hop, then a leap, then a hop, then a leap.
Justin: You had to do so to work that out?
Chris: Hi, James. Coming with us to dinner?
James: Let me drop this off first.
Mm: So that's a "No", then?
Nora: I'm going home.
James: Bye. Enjoy your stuffed animal.
Chris: Is it stuffed, is it?
I have the biggest craving for pancakes. Thick fluffy pancakes.

Last night's movie night was an odd middleground between failure and success. However, it re-inforced something I probably should have known, in that the clubs have fairly different mentalities.
I think a large part of the vague dissatisfaction I got from it was the fact that there were more than twice as many EGG members as ProgSoc members present; therefore, we got firmly outvoted in the film stakes.
I didn't really mind Super Mario Bros, terrible as it was. However, my neutrality in that may be solely based on the fact that I managed to make a pun so terrible that Rob winced.
Mario: The wrench!
*Mario rams his spanner into a hole in the pipe
Mm: Well, that'll throw a spanner in the works!
Rob: Quiet! The movie's bad enough without you adding to it.
The people whining about the lights turning on any time people walked through the door was annoying, though.
However, the speed runs got tedious after about one and a half. Apparently they started Office Space later on, but I wasn't really in the right mood for it.
Thomas, Chris and I went and loaded up Pirates of the Carribean 3 on the projector in another room. I think the commentary from Chris and myself drove Thomas a little crazy.
Any other comments people want to add?
-Mmaster
PS: I got a bunch of comments to the effect of "What's with your President?" today. *eyeroll* Including another "Is he trying to be Neo?" *sigh*
Rel: Why'd you guys wander off?
Mm: You were watching speed runs.
Rel: ...But we stopped eventually...
Mm: Plus, Thomas said so, and he's Mr. Dictator.
Rel: ... |

Chris: It's an animal!

Marauder was at ProgSoc this evening, to give a talk on data mining. (Which was quite interesting, by the way.) However, the highlight was the random chatter over dinner afterwards.
Marauder: Andi founded Out2Party, I think.
Nick: What's that?
Marauder: The "Gay+Proud" society.
Nick: Andi's gay?
Brian: I wonder what would happen if I set up my .forward to go to the ProgSoc mailing list?
Mm and Liz, in unison: I would stab you.
*Thomas looks amused
Chris: The Windows server's fixed. I hit it.
Elden: You know, next time someone sends something about the Windows box to the list, I'll reply with "I'd hit it!"
Elden: No pics and it didn't happen...
Marauder: Who wants to move into our awesome house?
James: How much?
Marauder: No.
Elden: He was a survivalist; he didn't let them get their name on the lease...
Elden: Cassie went to Pia's place for a while; I think they got a house together...
Marauder: Intriguing!
Marauder: We got an actual plumber in: Italian accent and all...
Rob: What does Andrew [Rob and Marauder's flatmate] do for a job?
Marauder: I don't know; but he could die, and we'd still get the rent cheques!
Rob: I've been considering moving out when I work full time again.
Marauder: You traitor! I thought we had something!
Elden: Rob has to live within two kilometres of a DDR machine...
Chris: What happened if the printer jammed?
Marauder: Ritual seppuku!
Chris: I was thinking of moving out of my current place. ...North Sydney would be nice.
Liz: ...Are you made of money?
Chris: Oh. Is it expensive there?
Thomas: You know how it gets expensive, the closer to where people work?
Chris: Yes?
Thomas: And you know how it gets more expensive, if you have pretty ocean views...?
Chris: Yes...
Thomas: And you know how it gets more expensive, the closer you are to a train station?
Chris: ...Oh.

Leena: Wow, this has been fun. Almost entertaining enough for me to consider coming again.
Us: ...
Thomas: All those in favour of Leena becoming the entertainment of the evening, raise your hand?
*Everyone in the room, except Leena, raises their hand
Leena: Oh, no. What have I let myself in for?
She wound up handcuffed, and with her laptop confiscated. Seeing her try and eat pizza in handcuffs was more or less the highlight of the evening. You can see photos thereof here, at least for the time being.
Amusement!

Bryn Davies, one of the legends of ProgSoc, is in town at the moment.
After spending the evening having dinner with Nick Fitzroy-Dale, another old timer, they both turned up to the tail-end of ProgSoc night.
Bryn had brought along a card game that he'd bought this afternoon: Bang!.
...The conversation more or less went downhill from there: "Who are you banging?" "Are you going to pick up now?" "I'm going to bang everyone..." Yes, it gets worse.

*Chris is playing The Impossible Quiz
James: Try reading it backwards.
Chris: "Answer... This... Question... Backwards...?"
Mm: Okay, so, which answer is backwards?
Chris: "Tennis elbow"?
*James is telling Chris the answers
Mm: Stop doing that.
James: I don't want him to be frustrated.
Thomas: But that's the point.
*The next part of the conversation is via MSN, obviously
Sanguinev says: Progsoc is full of the sexually frustrated, I doubt a flash game is going to compare to that.
Shoulder Angel says: *winces*
SanguineV says: "It's funny cos its true!"
Shoulder Angel says: I can't really dispute that
SanguineV says: Why not see how Chris feels about my earlier comment?
Shoulder Angel says: He's looking confused
SanguineV says: Tell him about the birds and the bees?
Shoulder Angel says: You can go ahead
*Chris is preparing to leave
Thomas: I'll try and prevent Denny [their workmate] from calling you every ten minutes.
Chris: Yeah. Tell him to... relax, and think of the birds and the bees.
Mm: ... ... ...What?
Thomas: ...You don't know what that phrase means, do you, Chris?
Chris: No.
*Mm has her face in her hands
*Chris leaves
Thomas: Margaret, even closing your eyes and hiding your face in your hands won't block the image of Chris being involved in the birds and the bees.

EDIT:
*Dinner time. Chris and Mm have ordered. Are waiting for Thomas to order.
Mm: I have order number 233!
Chris: ...I have order number 339.
Mm: Yeah, but mine's the speed of my first computer.
Chris: Mine's the bus to Coogee...
Mm: ...Which of those statements is more lame?
Chris: Thomas, what do you think?
Thomas: I think you two should get married, so you can talk about how 'lame' your lives are.
Mm and Chris: ...
Chris: What number's your one?
Thomas: The number that's going to get me food. |

Before I start the quotes, I should give you an explanation that will be background to several of them:
For those of you that remember, Thomas, in a fit of boredom, created Mm.exe. And later, at Chris' request, Nora.exe. (Both of which are still available here, if you have a machine that will run them.)
So, since it was Chris' idea to have Nora.exe, Nora and I decided that we should have a Chris.exe in retaliation. We tossed around several ideas: one that 'umm's and 'ahh's, and occasionally throws out some quote that I've collected from him. Eventually we simplified it: when triggered, it throws out this expression:
'[Random noun]'? Is that some kind of '[Different random noun]'?
...'Course, we haven't got around to building it, thus far. But Thomas searched up a random word generator, and we spent some time tossing examples to each other. "List" refers to either words taken from the generator, or phrases constructed from words from the generator.
I then wrote a sample algorithm on the board. Which included a very lazy 0.
Onwards!
Mm: How are those servers working?
Thomas: I set them up, and they're working perfectly.
Mm: So you haven't let Chris near them, then...
Thomas: I let him fondle the rack briefly....
*Mm cracks up. Chris looks confused.
List: Mnemonic, is that a kind of encouragement?
Mm: But it works better the other way...
List: Language, is that a kind of breeding?
Mm: Works better the other way, again.
Thomas: Breeding! It's the international language!
List: Footlocker, is that a type of rating?
Mm from List: Synonym!
*Mm giggles manically
James: ...Sometimes I worry about you, Margaret.
Thomas: Only sometimes?
James: Yeah, not all the time.
Thomas: Those times are called "sleeping"?
*DCom examines the lazy 0
DCom: It's a fat theta, lying on its side... It's a drunk theta! "Hey! Did I tell you about that time I went out on the town, just Theta and me? Oh, what a night that was..."
Nora: Hey, do you know what I did to my uncle?
Thomas: You killed him?
Nora: No, the other one.
*Thomas and Nora are leaving
Thomas: See you tomorrow. Oh, and Margaret? If you're still here at six o'clock tomorrow morning, I will not be impressed. Go home tonight.
*Mm salutes
*giggles* ...And now, at Thomas' command, I'm going home.

At Thomas' request:
*Thomas is tormenting Nora with a jelly snake
Thomas: Hold still.
*He sticks the snake onto the pin on her headscarf
*Nora rips it off
Thomas: Why'd you do that? With just a little effort, you could have a snake there permanently!
Mm: Yeah! She'd be like Medusa! Only sugarier!
:D.
-Mmaster
EDIT: Another one I meant to add from earlier in the evening:
Mm: What's the difference between a bird with one wing and a bird with two wings?
Thomas: The number of wings you can eat?
Mm: It's a matter of a pinion.
Thomas: Margaret, come here. Keep thinking about that joke. I want to kill whichever brain cell was responsible.
*Thomas raps Mm on the head
Thomas: There. Got it.
Nora: ...What?
EDIT (2): Also:
*Thomas makes some form of depressing comment
Nora: You're such a positive person, Thomas.
Mm: Of course he's positive. Have you ever seen him uncertain? |
