First, an excellent example of a subtle back-handed reference there, MemoryShock.

Second, I think that's a good idea -- are you having Semper moderate? If so, you could leave the final selection of topic/sides to him, by his discretion or from a list culled from various suggestions.

I'm thinking that we will end up with a random topic, either one of Semper's choosing (not economics!) or whether he chooses to cherry pick a suggested topic.

'Tis why I encourage all of you Fighters to drop some topics for us all to 'gossip' about. That way, we can keep the marketing machine going for the Schro Dog/MemoryShock bout and as well to prevent me from having anything unfairly prepared.

Yes indeed it is still a pig, but after a long night in the pub and a brand new set of beer goggles........... it could pass for Palin

..... Here, let me bring a pitcher out to the (newly-discovered and swept) patio, for everyone to enjoy, in the fresh air. And here's a clean ashtray for you.

I've also set up a CCTV, so we can continue to watch the MemoryShock - Schrodinger - Budski love triangle snipe at each other.

Hey, if you're serving up drinks -- and seeing as I finished my first (albeit one-sided) 'debate' today, and considering how I discovered and cleaned the patio for eveyone's enjoyment (and if I am allowed to put my broom down...)

I'd like to have a Maker's Manhattan and breathe a little fresh-air too.

Of course, coming right up!



And here's some newspaper, also. Please use it to avoid soot-stains on the patio furniture. We all appreciate your hard work, but must you continue to wear the 'poor oppressed chimney-sweep girl' outfit? It's a little much.

PS: Great debate, by the way.

I for one am both

Maybe that's why I think it's a brilliant idea, Ian

edit: have now read the last three pages. For clarity, the brilliant idea was to invade DATS, not to make Maria splutter. TWISI, congratulations on your first debate; you have set a high standard for us newbies.

Now I shall return to my mop.

I would like to take a second and congratulate both Maxmars and Sublime on one of the most informative debates of late.

One hell of a job you two and I have to admit that I am still ingesting the information you guys presented...if I had to debate that topic on either side against either of you...I would of made of a fol of mself because I wouldn't have taken the graceful way out by forfeiting.

Excellent job you guys...

Before this Tournament started Ian and me wanted to do a debate and said we´ll wait until the Tournament is over.

Its great that we dont have to wait.

I look forward to the Tournament-Finals with you Ian

I've been looking forward to this, also, for quite a while. Congratulations on your previous debates; enjoyable reading. There will be an unavoidable delay, due to some RL-necessities of mine, however MemoryShock is, of course, on top of it.

The only worry I have is that we might out-polite each other.

Don't worry, Schro Dog and I are balancing that out...:d

Okay...bedtime. Night All.

reply to post by MemoryShock


Just to let you know I am aware of Ians time-restraints and agree to pause the debate on those days.

(You´re getting a kick out of being able to assign us weird topics, Im sure)

reply to post by Skyfloating


I, for one, am looking forward to debating either side of "Dolphins Are Perfectly Capable of Building Parquet Floors".

reply to post by Ian McLean


Ever since TheVagabond has retreated a bit, Semper has become a Mod and MemoryShock is busy organizing the Tournament, you have become the most likely candidate for runner-up of Debate-Ranking-Champ.

I think you could argue anything...including "Dolphins have a Communist society thats superiour to the society of sea lions".

So, although it is clear for all that I dont have the slightest chance against you...

you are currently the best one to test ones fighting skills against.

INT. FLIGHT CLUB PUB - LATE NIGHT/EARLY A.M.

ANGLE ON: TWISI, her body lies on the floor in an exhausted, crumpled heap. Her 'chimney-sweep-girl' clothes are torn and 'soot' stained -- from the wear and tear of cleaning -- the broom, worn to a nub, has finally fallen from her hands and rests nearby.

A SHADOW FALLS OVER HER:

She stirs, lifts her head and LOOKS:

TWISI'S P.O.V. - The SILHOUETTE of a MAN...

THE MAN
We all appreciate your hard work, but must you continue to wear the 'poor oppressed chimney-sweep girl' outfit? It's a little much.


CLOSE ON: TWISI - A smile crosses her face. BEAT.

MUSIC CUE: The opening strains of "Baby Elepahant Walk" (if you watch old movies it is the traditonal ' Burly-Q Girl's ' intro.... nah-naaah-naaah-naaaaah-nae-nae, etc., so on and so forth )

She STANDS, TEARS her worn APRON OFF and triumpahntly TOSSES it into the face of THE MAN:

TWISI
... free. Free at..last...

The Man WATCHES as the newly liberated, and former cheap labor, RACES BEHIND THE BAR...


WE HEAR: The SOUNDS of BOTTLES clanking, lids SPINNING and then... GREEDY GULPS... again.. and.. again, an almost incessant drone of -- gulping, gulping...


WE STAY CLOSE ON THE MAN'S FACE AS IT MOVES OUT OF THE SHADOWS -- REVEALING a horrified --

IAN M.
... My God... what... have... I done?

reply to post by Skyfloating


And at this point, there is no runner-up that I would rather face than you, Skyfloating. I've noticed your effective use of brevity, and look forward to directly seeing it in action. Don't downplay what I am sure will be an interesting debate; we all learn from trying.

I would not pretend to represent the political beliefs of sea lions; they just go 'ork!' 'ork!' 'ork!' when I inquire.

Have you heard about what was on the news today?




[edit on 10/25/2008 by schrodingers dog]

A feverish-eyed, licking her whiskey-soaked-to the-point-of-pucker-lips, (I'm sure I'll be sorry about that one in the AM) TWISI bids you all a...

Bonne Nuit!

reply to post by schrodingers dog


Err, something about 10,000 holes in Blackburn, Lancashire, right? Tell me about it, while I have another rum & coke.

TWISI, G'nite, sleep tight, don't let the screenplay critics bite. And set out a glass of water for the morning.
