The Night Owl thread

That’s ridiculous. For swine flu it must have been pigs and falcons.

[size=9]Then again, there’s a good argument for not crossbreeding pigs and falcons as there would be a serious outbreak of flying pig jokes…[/size] :?

I did give appropriate warning :!:

I keep being awake at the right time to post here, but then I never have anything useful to say. Rather than letting yet another opportunity go to waste, I’ll do a blank post instead, hopefully it might bore some of you to sleep:
*

Actually, I now do have something (vaguely) useful to say…why does the name of the first poster instead of the most recent poster appear under “Last Post” on the list of threads, and why have none of you forum addicts noticed this?

I think it was brought up a while ago but nobody got round to fixing it. It can be a bit annoying but as it’s not really a major issue I don’t think anyone bothered mentioning it again.

I’ve got nothing to say to anyone except good night and I’ll see you in a week. :smiley:

It’s late at night and i can’t sleep, so thought i’d throw this little bundle of joy into all of your night-timely lives :slight_smile:

Top Trumps :smiley:

[size=7]Note:[/size] It’s really quite appallingly bad :frowning:

Its hard to imagine how that game could be worse. :?

Aye, well i didn’t say that it was any good… in fact, i seem to recall saying quite the opposite :?

Why is the rum gone? Am I still in the designated times? I forget. I don’t care.

I canny sleep. So I’m here. Can we do something interesting? That does not involve youtube, facebook games or swine flu. I need to be on campus at 7ish so now is a good time to give up trying to sleep… well, I’m not really trying - trying would involve pyjamas and a bed and removing coat/boots/myself from this forum.

How great would it be to live in New York? Where does Ally McBeal live? They’d have those cool bars to go to all night with awesome Vonda Shepherd style music all night. There would always be Pizza. You could walk and walk and not get lost cos you’d be in a grid. You could listen to the buskers on the subway and pretend to be a stereotype.

Well. This is Ingerland and Pizza does not cook itself at 4 in the morning - but this is not over. I vote Alton Towers. I vote hijacking the dodgems. I vote ripping down dreamcatchers everywhere. It’s light! That means breakfast… :smiley:

I’m a wee bit concerned by Sarah’s post…

On a different note, these ultra-condensed versions of Wolverine and Star Trek are rather amusing.
As is a spoof of the ridiculous final poker showdown in Casino Royale me and some mates made a couple years ago.

owen, what are you on about!! sarah’s post is just…just…just so SARAH!!! QED it’s awesome!!! :smiley:

sarah, new york would be THE place for you!! it’s the city that never sleeps, after all :slight_smile: a guy on tv wanted to go a couple of days without sleep, just to see what happened to his brain and body, and where did he go?? that’s right - new york!!! :smiley:

who is vonda shepherd?? any relation to derek shepherd (aka dr mcdreamy??) :smiley:

you know, i’m thinking that this thread is very useful for controversies, as people can only reply after a certain hour of the night :slight_smile: the only controversy i could think of, though, is ‘the brick’ related and we know only one person will be controversy-ed (hi, pierre!! :slight_smile: ) so that’s a bit rubbish… :frowning:

do you want to hear chuck norris jokes?? my hall mates are tormenting me with chuck norris jokes atm :cry: here’s one:

‘chuck norris can slam a revolving door!’

and another:

‘if you had £5 and chuck norris had £5, chuck norris would have more than you!’

why are there so many chuck norris jokes?? publicity stunt?? who is chuck norris???

i can’t seem to stop writing rubbish…in a way i’m afraid to hit the ‘submit’ button…i fear chuck norris will come and get me…and will i ever be able to convince everyone that i’m not a nutter?? :? :frowning: :lol:

[size=12]The singer from Ally McBeal. Who is Derek Shepherd?[/size]

[size=12]Those are good questions. He had that show “Walker, Texas Ranger” a good few years back, but I can’t believe he’s this epic from that…[/size]

[quote=“bsuije”]

will i ever be able to convince everyone that i’m not a nutter?? :? :frowning: :lol:[/quote]

[size=18]No.[/size]

derek shepherd is dr mcdreamy from grey’s anatomy :smiley: there’s also dr mcsteamy and i think there might also be a mcbitch :? love grey’s anatomy!!! :lol:

well, if it is a publicity stunt, the person that came up with the idea is a pure advertising genius!!!

bit harsh with the huge ‘No’, don’t you think!!! :stuck_out_tongue: :lol:

the social next monday a date, nat?? :stuck_out_tongue: 8)

Chuck Norris was a competitive (and I gather quite successful) martial artist who moved into films once he retired. I don’t think I’ve actually seen any of his films but there’s a trailer for one here:

His tv series has finished now and don’t think he’s making films anymore.

The Chuck Norris facts were one of those weird online things that starts with a few random people having a joke and then just spreads. It was quite funny seeing Chuck Norris’s reaction to them when they started (I don’t think he was quite sure whether he should be flattered or not).

OMG - has everyone seen this article about Irn Bru :?: :!:

[quote]Once a month the essences for the drink are personally mixed by Robin Barr in a sealed room at the company’s headquarters in Cumbernauld.

The 32 different ingredients are combined in a huge vat, which mixes 8,000 litres at a time. [/quote]

That’s some mightily impressive stuff there :!:

Not really. I just wanted to make sure you understood. :wink:

And almost… Still, any date is enhanced with The Mac’s presence. :smiley:

[size=9]Maybe if they’d changed the recipe in the past 100 years, it might taste good. And I kinda think it’s a bit wrong that he has to lock himself away with it first. wtf. Why would he even tell anyone that? Once a month, they fill a couldren with stuff they can’t tell you about and it comes out that weird colour. If only coke thought of that - I would buy coke if it was the origional recipe. Even if it tasted as rubbish as iron bru.

Those Norris Jokes are awesome. I think you should start a jokes thread specially for random jokes from the folks you live with - they wouldn’t have to know that you were stealing them like a sneeky little jokes delivery mouse.

You say ‘nutter’ like it’s a disease. A nasty horrible infliction. When actually, nutters are alright. Comparitively. If there were a handbook for life, everyone would be using it and only the nutters would survive. Except perhaps those that smoked their copy - I imagine it would be pretty toxic… a handbook would be quite useful.

I don’t watch Grey’s Anatomy, but I did google what’s his face and he looks almost worth tolerating it for. I cannot believe you don’t know ally Mcbeal! Forget that other Derek Shepherd guy - instead it has lots and lots of nice guys, Robert Downey Jr sings with Sting, Jon Bon Jovi sings, Barry White sings. Al Green is in a hallucination. There’s a baby that dances to ‘hooked on a feeling’, she gets visited by a unicorn. And the women in it are amazing, bitches, but amazing. 8) [/size]

Chuck Norris jokes… they’re good, but they’re stolen from the Old Chief Dm :wink:

I looked on Twitter today, and there are cool people on there. Not just regular schmucks. Steven Fry has a page, as does David Mitchell, Alan Davies, Jonathan Ross, Alan Carr, Chris Moyles and my personal favourite :smiley: Please add more, I do quite like sneeking into people’s lives, Being John Malkovitch styleeee.

Why are these people granting us access to their lives. I would have though that all of these people are clever enough to undertand that we are all people. With lives. And if you’re ‘tweeting’, you are tweeting instead of living your life (I understand that looking at other people’s lives is more rediculously sad, but I also now know that Peep Show will be filming Series 6 in July, so I consider this not a waisted trip to the twitterplace)

Also, why do they make red kooga taste like sweets, nice lovely red flavoured sweets and then limit you to 4 per day? I impulsively bought three boxes thinking they’d be helpful as innocent looking take-me-into-exam pepps, but no, I just finished a blisterpack, and they make you sleepy! How is that helpful?! How DARE they write ‘energise’ on the box?! (Bastards, I’m calling Amsterdam!) And now I’m going to have to hide the box because my silly brain is telling me that there are goodies in the box. Open the box. Open the box. This will be very handy when exams are over, but a part of me feels like complaining… Maybe I’ll eat them, then complain. Drowsily. To Bedfordshire! :idea:
