as you predicted, lame work on the e-conversations charlie. you're far too generous in your selections. this is exactly how Britain ended up losing an empire |

Well delete them then, Mr. Sulky. GypsyBoy gave one 78% or something. And I liked the other one with its description of us following Kenny around Peru doing spack-faces and playing pan-pipes. |

you didn't include the one GypsyBoy gave 78% to which was MANT's 'mysore p3nis' gag. salty 2 is the only one that bears rereading and i'd be inclined to finish it at your original pitch otherwise it just peters out and doesn't have a proper end. rol's final post in salty 3 is good but as a whole it's too slight - it may be better served in stage fights. |

Lump them all together maybe, or seffers write something funny and stop whinging. |
From: Kenny | Date: 10 March 2005 | Subject: Salty 5
I concur. It's definitely Seffers' die-hard cynicism and provoking of internal dissent that brought the Empire down, not Charlie's pointless enthusiasm and poor judgement, MANT's stupidity and shortness, Rol's childish refusal to get a real job and stop stealing my eggs, Hugh's questionable personal hygiene and lack of internal monologue or Pete's incoherent screeching and welshing on social commitments. Seffers' is the closest metaphor we have for the birth of the post-modern age. |

I think what you say can be summarised to: my pursuit of excellence and your collective efforts to hold me back. |
From: Charlie | Date: 10 March 2005 | Subject: Salty 5
You are right that I didn't put in the Mysore p3nis one. I forgot about that one.
And it's not only Seffers' arrogance and cynicism, it's his monstrous laziness as well, as that prevents him achieving anything worthwhile, all the time making him more bitter and twisted about others' achievements. He's like Hugh meets Rol, in fact: all the cynicism of Rol without the drive, and all the laziness of Hugh without the easy-going personality. |

Oh my goodness, its catching, this is turning into a Tunley Road cat-fight and Hugh and Pete are defenseless |

if i didn't know better i'd say you were trying to stir things up |
From: Kenny | Date: 10 March 2005 | Subject: Salty 5
Yeah, just like Miranda to come storming into the middle of an argument that's got nothing to do with her, and defend two people that in any other circumstances she would be rubbishing. Next she'll get drunk and abusive. |

Salty 2 is Gold all the way to the GypsyBoy's last comment. Change that, and I'll have to pull the site in protest. You can lose my last comment if you want as I'm not the best person to judge my contribution. Putting it on Stage Fights is pretty much the stupidest idea I've ever heard.
Salty 3 is definitely funny. You're a loser, Seffers.
And as I said before, I think Salty 4 is funny. |
From: Seffers | Date: 10 March 2005 | Subject: Salty 5
you never read emails properly, rol's pitch to go in stage fights, not the one you did:
Title: Alpe d'Huez
Description: One man on a bike. An hour to cross stage. Falls off bike. Curtain.
Works perfectly.
Salty2: your first pitch is funny, rob's later one is very good but has to be sacrificed as it's in the midst of the others that are simply serving to overcook the chicken
salty4: tedious navel-gazing |

We need a vote because seffers has such a twisted sense of humour he disagrees with us. Or he's on such a high horse his little hairy feet can't touch the ground so he's lost touch with reality. Im voting for all 4 to be included. |
From: MANT | Date: 10 March 2005 | Subject: Salty 5
I think we should add this argument on, now that's funny. Seffers, read and learn. |
From: Charlie | Date: 10 March 2005 | Subject: Salty 5
True, it is funny that a grown man who is apparently an editor of a prestigious journal could be such a complete a55-brain. |
From: MANT | Date: 10 March 2005 | Subject: Salty 5
I'd debate the "grown". Hairy, maybe. |
From: Charlie | Date: 10 March 2005 | Subject: Salty 5
Yes, I should have said "stunted and wrong". |
From: Seffers | Date: 10 March 2005 | Subject: Salty 5
no. this is why you shouldn't be allowed to have a vote - you're only interested in the self-aborbed talking about ourselves e-mails, that always run: Rol/Rob give too much information about their unfortunate personal lives; Someone1 says 'that's funny, how about we do this ridiculous thing to make it worse';
Someone2 says: 'ha ha that IS really funny, that'd be like the time we had the idea for the other ridiculous thing';
Someone3 says "but how about we do it a stage further";

read down this thread again MANT, it may be entertaining to join with in at the time, but it's not actually funny |
