Never! How 'bout target practice? *opens secret weapon stash and starts handing out rifles*

[fences_like_a_lemur]

Sure! *grabs stapler* Whats the target?

[ParryRiposte]

Ahh... *looks around*... YOU! Wait, that's no fun if we kill you... uh... DEREK!!! *shoots*

[fences_like_a_lemur]

*staples papers together* This is more fun!

[ParryRiposte]

You can be my office assistant, then... speaking of which, don't you hate the paperclip guy on office?

[fences_like_a_lemur]

Ohh office assistant! Wee

Paperclip guy? You mean your sister? Which would infact make it the Paperclip women, if you wanted to be picky...

[ParryRiposte]

No, like the paperclip office assistant on word... wow! That's a gangster program!

*abrupt change of topic*

Anyone care to play Halo?

[JackOfHearts]

I'd rather play Halo 2. It has swords. I heard a rumor that you can use two in the next installment. Sounds like fun.

[ParryRiposte]

Ooh, that sounds fun!!! But I feel stupid now because for some reason I can't escape the Pillar of Autumn on the first level of Halo .

How can you get lost on the Pillar of Autumn? Just follow the explosions. Follow the marine or Cortana's instructions. One thing I didn't like about that part, fine, you didn't have a gun for the first half of that stage, but from the intro, you know the Master Chief has fists. Need I say more?

[ParryRiposte]

Yeah, why don't you have a gun for the for the first part? I mean when you do the invert setting thing with the targets, why not shoot them too? Argg. Have you gotten to play a Wii yet?

[sabreur]

I am sometimes of the opinion that video games, television and the internal combustion engine are the causes of the downfall of civilization.

Hey, is that a pinball machine in the corner? Mata Hari, no less! One of the greatest machines ever!

LouW, is the scotsman the lawyer???????

[fences_like_a_lemur]

LouW, is the scotsman the lawyer???????

I don't know, is he wearing a kilt?

[Inquartata]

I think she meant Gav.

Geez, even snockered and lying behind the sofa I can still deduce better than some of you people!

Obviously you have not yet drunk enough.

[fences_like_a_lemur]

Obviously you have not yet drunk enough.

Inq, Your Brilliant! I'll take another glass...

[Go? Fencing?]

Inq, Your Brilliant! I'll take another glass...

I believe that he would prefer to be called "Your Brilliance".

[ParryRiposte]

Or, indeed, "you're" brilliant.

[fences_like_a_lemur]

Shame on me for a gramerical error...

Your Brilliance, Inq, I would humbly like to request that you forgive me and not take any insult due to my improperly addressing you. I would really appreciate it if you didn't strike me down with lightning and comdem my soul to hell...

[ParryRiposte]

"... would humbly like to request that you forgive me and not take any insult due to my improperly addressing you..."

wouldn't "I humbly request your pardon; that you take no offense to my improper address of His Excellency?" be more concise?

[fences_like_a_lemur]

wouldn't "I humbly request your pardon; that you take no offense to my improper address of His Excellency?" be more concise?

But then it would sound like I quoted you and then His Excellency Inq wouldn't believe that it was truely a heartfelt plea for forgiveness...
