oooooh....

Oooh yeah!

which part of soon involves having to wait 135 days?

*sigh*

Tell me about it....

Having said that, I've waited for this since the first X-men movie was made, so it is 'soon'

i have visions of you yelling at the countdown, trying to make it go faster....

Oh gosh, you have no idea how impatient I can get.

Good thing I've come up with a strategy - distract myself with other obsessions till I forget what it is I am waiting for

Hmm... I thought you meant the actor was going to Tangler HQ.

Hah! I wish

is he here yet?

also...how are you supposed to distracted yourself to the point of forgetting when you keep coming in here whenever someone posts?

NO!

The distractions work in between coming in here

That's a great emoticon!

hehehehe I was watching it with Pierre here, and did the imaginary extension of claws complete with 'shwing' sound effect at the end of the trailer

134 days is like FOREVER away

I know

only 119 days to go....doesn't time fly when your're waiting for something...

You had to remind me!!

yes....

yes i did

grrrrrrrrrr

see how good i am.....not letting you forget something as important as that?

Wow dek, you sure are lucky to have such a good friend 

I'll get you for this!!

*shaking fist*

*sigh*

my new years resolution....be kind to old people....

...look where it gets me...

I'm OLD??

old? did i say old?

i meant to say my very good friends in tanglerland....

i guess that resolution didn't last long.

*sigh*

Couldn't be mad at you even if I tried!

Must be because your (old) brain forgets straightaway  

Taking sides Morgan??

Hurt.... hurt I is...

HAHAHAHA *cough* 

LOL

bad Morgan! naughty Morgan!

HAHAHAHA That's so cute!

Looks like a pirate wearing a surf-lifesaver's cap 

I thought it had it's eye patch in the wrong place

ooh. morgan has a new avatar.

A lovely picture too!

just testing atm... looking for an improvement

huh...i just realised it's gone 3 in the morning...

..i swear it was midnight only a moment ago.

Meh.. it's still early

not for me.i'd normally be getting up in about an hour and a half.

Sure hope you're on leave or something...

Normally? in place of....?

yeah, christmas break...which will be over soon

ahh.. ok...

now that i know what the time is, i've come over all tired.

gonna have to call it a night/morning/whatever.

Night Sir M

huh...sleep didn't last long

Awwww...

YAAAAAYYYY!!!!

i don't know which of you two i'm going to blame, but i got a very stern lecture about the wrongness of going to bed at 4am.

You were late for school??

*scratching head*

no..i was late to bed....

hehehe spending time with two fine ladies can get you into all sorts

Yesh... let that be a warning...

hehehehe

grrrrrrr

HAHAHAHA

what's that supposed to mean?? LOL i think he just turned it into an ultimatum in his head

i don't know why i'm still hanging around with you two....

..this can only end in trouble....

...for me....

Just think of us like ice cream: sweet and irresistible, but ultimately won't do you any good 

heheheehe

or will it.......hmm.......

Sure will... wouldn't be otherwise

Fine - lets just say we'll make you fat then

There might be some sense in my ramblings... I just need someone else to find it for me....

mmmmmmm

while i'm deciding what topping to have with the ice-cream, i've got some chores to do...

...before i get into any more trouble....

LOL!

oh dear.... that just sound so wrong 

Sounds like you've been well-trained

hehehe

LOL, trained enough to think about putting toppings on us??

(hmm I'll shut up now, before I get into trouble too)

*exit to stage'inappropriate'left*

hahahaah Terrible...

Can I suggest hot fudge? That's always a good thing to have on ice cream.

Oh dear... here comes another instigator...

This can't end well

I'm going to bed soon...I just called in SK to take my place

hahahaha

Taking shifts

Of course. Between us we've got the whole 24 hours covered.

Sure do!!

Who do you think keeps this place running when you're not around

Oh, trust me, I know...

hehehehe

I thought that was the monkeys' job... yknow, keep on feeding the hamsters overnight and such

Yeah... them high maintenance hamsters...

*shaking head*

Every time I hear from them, they're breaking stuff...

Shhhh.... keep it down
they might hear us and go on strike

Don't be silly... hamsters can't read 

Oh....

*phew*

Unless they're some kind of mutant super-hamsters... you haven't been bioengineering mutant superhamsters have you?

Ummm... not that I'm aware of...

Well good... 'cause if you had we'd probably be screwed.

Don't be too relieved... I'm sure some evil genius is working on it as we speak

It's ok... I'm sure the evil genius doesn't hang out on Tangler 

(fairly sure)

You know an evil genius?...

Is he hiring?

Erm... I'll have to check... Although it could take a while to get an answer, since (for security reasons) there is no direct way of contacting him and I'll have to get the carrier pigeon to deliver a message to the swordfish, which will give it to the submarine which will send out a transmission in whale language, that the whales will then deliver to a fish with a short term memory who speaks whale, and then.....oops... I've said too much.....

Good thing he doesn't hang out on Tangler, otherwise he send out a carrier pigeon to deliver a message to deliver an order to the swordfish that will...dammit.... anyway, it all leads to a certain death, which can only be avoided by meeting a member of the secret-life-saving-committee at the restaurant at the end of the universe and delivering a message which was sent by.....oops! me and my big mouth....

*sigh*

I was going to bed...lol...

We used to have an evil genius on Tangler... and I was her side-kick, Pinky

Can I suggest hot fudge?

No.....but you can get me a bowl of hot fudge covered ice cream...sounds goooood!

you haven't been bioengineering mutant superhamsters have you?

maybe morgan has been putting things in the microwave again.... 

heheeheh

How do you make fudge? you got me wanting it now..

Hot Fudge Ice-Cream Topping

ooh ooh i can make it here!! yay... but meh too much effort

and I've already eaten ice cream tonight 

who needs ice cream?

go on....make the topping....

i'll help you eat it.

Decided against it in favour of some deep fried goodness.

I've been wondering recently... could you deep-fry a meat pie?

why would you want to do that??

I didn't say I wanted to.. I was just wondering what the outcome would be if I did..

waste of a perfectly good meat pie.

as for the outcome...you'd some how manage to set it on fire....

Well thats why I don't want to test it - I like my pies!!

I was imagining a sort of deep-fried meaty pastry?

Maybe like a fried dim sim.. but so much worse

dim sim?

one moment please....

oh..that doesn't sound too bad.

Whoa... you don't have dim sims over there?

um...i'll go as far as to say i've never heard of them...

hey, weren't you going to bed soon...like....a couple of hours ago?

Just did a UK google search - it seems as the results put it as a common part of Aussie cuisine, whereas I would put it down as Chinese takeaway (although I suppose it is pretty popular as a takeaway food here in Aus)

and yeah, I was... but I dont have anyone to tell me off if I don't go 

I'm actually waiting for a d/l to finish, and because I'm chained to my telephone line, I can't take it into the bedroom
with me.

well...i'm off for coffee, munchies and a film....

good night...(if you ever manage to go)

hehe... g'night 

Dim Sums...

...is what we normally get here.  Dim Sims are something I've only seen in Oz.

Never knew there was a difference

Dim Sims are bigger than what Dim Sums are

From what Wikipedia tells me, Dim Sim is Australia's answer to Dim Sum 

Ok, lt's get this into perspective.  Personally I don't give a shit.  All I know is that the Sums are smaller than the Sims and the Sims are available in Oz.  I hate myself for getting involved in ths sort of crap...

...SK, I can'tbelieve you wiki'd it!

I wiki everything... the key sequence to do so is hardwired into my muscle memory as a reflex response to not knowing something (ctrl+T, "wiki <a thing>", enter)

Can you get to wikipedia in 3 actions without using the mouse? 

Actually yes. 

I wiki everything... the key sequence to do so is hardwired into my muscle memory as a reflex response to not knowing something (ctrl+T, "wiki <a thing>", enter)

mine's shorter. (ctrl+T, "wik <a thing>", enter)

I don't have an address bar, only several toolbars, the first of which is wiki. Mine goes (ctrl+L, <a thing>, enter). And I have predictive text, so I generally only need a few letters.

So there

If I leave Wikipedia as the selected search engine I can do it with Ctrl+K, <a thing>, enter

But that's more likely to be Google under normal circumstances.

Another alternative if it is the active search engine is to highlight some text and choose "search for <thing> through <active search engine>". Gets the mouse involved, but eliminates the keyboard from the equation, but only works when the thing you want to look for is on the page in front of you.

Freaks!

Actually, I take that back...

Thanks for wiki-ing stuff for me

Or you could highlight the text with your keyboard, then press the 'menu' key (which I never ever use, does anyone else? I mean, they really should just replace the key with something more useful)

It could be useful if you had no mouse...

Or were being challenged to do something without the mouse that needed a right-click

heheh... but really, I have a laptop...with a touchpad... surely they were smarter than that? lol no?

I dunno. my Dell keyboard sticks that button above F9 - it's easy to never use, but it's also easy to find.

It's useful when my mouse is nowhere near the thing I want to right click - like scrolling through files with the arrow keys.

oooh...the lesser known mine is shorter than yours competition.

just to add my tuppence worth, i have the googlepedia add on. Ctrl+K, <a thing>, enter for google results and wiki entry.

did you ever get to bed morgan or are you still waiting for that d/l to finish?

LOL @ Sir M! Never thought you'd see that in your lifetime eh?

DJ, My dell has the menu key on the right, next to the arrow button. Have one recently begun to use it, but not very handy since I already use keyboard shortcuts mostly

i'm not all that up with keyboard shortcuts, but i'm picking them up slowly.

certainly make it easier when using the laptop

Yeah, mos def

Keyboard shortcuts ftw... I use Ctrl+CTV all the time to copy a link, open a tab then paste it into the address bar, Ctrl+K or Ctrl+L are super handy... Ctrl+PageUp/Down are useful occasionally for fast tab switching... just generally gotta love shortcuts

Have you changed your short cuts?

it's ctrl+tab for me to switch tabs

ctrl+tab works too... but that only goes one way 

ctrl+pageup/pagedown can go next tab or previous tab.

AHHHH So it does!

*confession* All this while I was hitting ctrl+ the arrow buttons, and nothing was happening

Also, my way, to go the other way, I hit ctrl+shift+tab

Ahh yeah... that too.

I sleep intermittently. Last night I woke up after only 3 hours of sleep, stayed up for a coupe hours, then went back to bed again. I don't have a sleeping pattern and it bugs me.

I've been made to wake up at 6 am the past few mornings.

It's inhumane

I'm going to have to shift my sleep pattern quite severely between now and Wednesday... move from sleepy time being 3am 'til 11am round to waking up at 7am.

Hmm I noticed you were 'up' at our 'lunchtime'... Back to school then?

Yeah... been off for a while, but it starts again in a few days.

Need to re-adjust my sleep pattern, do some homework... generally get ready to go back to normal.

eek! normal.... *shudder*

I think I just accidentally readjusted my pattern...

I went down for a nap at 4++pm yesterday, and only just woke up at 11am this morning.

*blink*

wow....that's a monster nap...

*looks around*

yup...tangler's still here....better not chance it again though.

LOL!

hey morgan, have you made any hot fudge topping yet?

dammit nooooo

it seems everyone around me is talking about food tonight!

good food, food i dont have, food i long for to be in my house/possession/stomach - which is GROWLING might I add

how could you be so cruel as to neglect your stomach?

I'm not neglecting my stomach, everyone else is just teasing it! Like how you're not supposed to feed animals at the zoo, but people still walk around the cages with yummy treats. Ok, really bad metaphor there, (and as a rule i dont go to zoos) but anyway, moving on...

i say if it's got to the point where it is growling then it has been neglected.

Its growling in desire! and where an I going to get nice things like fudge or briyani or tuna sandwiches or crisps at 2am?

ok, so the crisps I could do, but not for a long walk to the servo..

well...you should know yourself well enough to realise that a stomach growling crisis my occur at any moment and an ample and varied supply of tasty munchies should have been stockpiled for just such an event.

Herein lies Murphy's law... you will never crave anything as long as there is a stockpile of it close to you

I have a tin of Roses (chocolate) next to my desk, and the only reason I don't crave them is because I regularly eat a couple...

I rarely crave chocolate... Maybe cos I don't get UK chocs any more

Choc cake on the other hand....

I remember my mum once brought back a load of Freddos from Aus... we only have solid chocolate ones, but these had all different stuff inside, like strawberry goop or honeycomb... freakin nice Freddos.

I don't like those

I'd kill for UK Kit Kats

Or toblerone. Or even dairy milk for that matter

We need to arrange a trade...

Genius!!

mmmm....strawberry goop....

getting bored of chocolate now..having munched my way through the bulk of 2 tins of roses, 1 of quality street, assorted chocolate covered biscuits and a tree full of edible decorations.

Are you serious?!!?!

How can you eat that much chocolate?

he has an IV drip.  Best not to stick Aeros in there - the bubbles might kill him.

I've had maybe three of 'em in my life, which gives them a particular thought in my heart.

(a Canadian friend of mine introduced me to them, and was very jealous of his dwindling stash)

This trade idea of SK's is gaining more appeal, no?

Hehehe, seems like I'm in a good place for chocolate. Areo, KitKat, Toblerone and Dairy Milk, all so plentiful you could gorge until you hurled if you wanted to... of course you'd have to pay, and that would be kind of a waste... but you could do so.

Plus easy access to all the other European chocolate... the Swiss and the Belgians know their stuff in that field

oooh... like that Milky choc dad used to get from Switzerland

*drool*

never seen the point in aeros...why pay for something that is full of holes?

not exactly value for money.

But the holes improve it...

why pay for something that is full of holes

Ever thought about value for money versus functionality?  With that in mind, what about a colander?

an excellent point well made master Dent....i should have more specfic given that i was referring to chocolate....

....flakes are a waste of money too.

Master Dent, my arse... LOL

lol!

What about Twirl Sir M?
It has flakes and wafers. Waste of money?

What? Twirl has no wafers...

Not around these parts anyways. Our Twirls are basically just flakes with an outer layer of chocolate to hold the flakiness in.

there's wafers on either side of the flakes, no?

Might have changed.... I haven't had it for ages

Oh no, you're right

OMD.... how good does that look in macro!

What is that other one with the wafers??

time out.

twirls are better than flakes as you don't lose half of it when you take a bite.

still not perfect though...look at all those space where there could be chocolate...

Ahhh... yes, time out

Most efficient chocolate would be plain chocolate. Everything else becomes less dense after that.

Unless you fill the spaces with something denser than chocolate... like... Idunno, fudge.

So then a mars bar?

or similar?

I don't like Mars or Snickers or anything like that

Apparently the Yorkie Bar has a strap-line on it which says "Not for girls".  I heard a slightly amusing story from a friend in the military that these Yorkie Bars are included in the individual 24 hour ration pack boxes they they get in the field.  Anyway, using his words, (which is the bit that makes it slightly amusing), a senior "lumpy jumper" complained that it was sexist so they had to change the strap-line on the ration pack yorkies to "Not for civvies".

Where else would you read crap like this (do I get on your list Morgan...?)

HAHAHAHAHA

couldn't they have used this one instead?

Haha... "lumpy jumper"... that's funneh

Sounds like this candy bar is being marketed to blokes... surely they could have come up with a better name

Not to mention packaging

"Yorkie" has become UK slang for lorry driver.  I'll let one of the others explain that.

Okay

Someone from York?

Nope

I got nuttin

you have a look at some yorkie ads on youtube....

Okay!

I always thought that a Yorkie was a Yorkshire terrier. (too hard to go to youtube)

hahaha yeah, that's what YouTube gives you when you search for 'yorkie'!!

hahahah oh dear... the ads are terrible!

Hahaha, looks like all I need is a Yorkie bar..(still don't get the connection with truck drivers though)

*looks at Mr Dent*

typical dek....chooses the ad without the truck driver in it...

...and probably the only ad without the truck driver as well.

*sigh*

K, found a lorry driver one

Okay, here's an even more cheesy one! Though I didn't think it possible

doesn't that just make you want to go out and buy one....

...no...me neither.

Thre you go Dek.  To put it crudely, doen't it just make you cream your knickers with all these hunky blokes!

EWWWWWWWwwwww

Yay... I love wolverine... When I was a kid I used to pretend I was wolverine. My all time favorite comic book hero... and my second fav Gambit is in the movie too... This is going to be an awesome movie

YAAY!

You're here!

AND

you like Wolvie and Gambit!!

I knew there was a reason we got along

Wolverine and Gambit were always the awesome 2 in the cartoon...

Possibly Rogue too, but she was always too busy moaning about the downside of her power to take advantage of it's actual uses... so many times I'd be thinking "this guy would not be a problem if she just pulled a glove off and slapped him silly"

Yeah, exactly... no one wants superheroes who feel sorry for themselves.

Jean's powers are cool too, but she's too goody two shoes.

yeah.. true... no one likes a whiner...

But if you read the comics, you would love Jean, when she was Phoenix she was a bad-arse.

Oh yeah, Phoenix I like! She's coooool

And it might just be me, but I think the baddies in the X-men comics have all the cooler abilities

Well done people, we've come full circle!

Also I'm sat here eating a Yorkie 

hahahahah *pats us all on the back*

I'd forgotten half of it! Funny how ice cream toppings kept coming up

....and there it is again....

mmmmm....hot fudge.....*drool*

really must make some of that.

Darn... shoulda bought some chocolate or icecream or both when I went out just now

*sulks*

if you're going back out, i'll have some donuts thankyouverymuch.

Nope. I is going to bed

oh well.....worth a try.

Nope. I is going to bed

What, at 4.30 pm.. 

Yeah... been ill andro

You gotta get better soon, that's an order..

LOL

I'm trying, believe me

Sir M might like the sound of this - in an effort to get my temperature down, I went and got icecream and coke, and had a nice ice cream float

You got a virus or something..?

You've been crook for a few days now.....

here's a flower to cheer you up...

Why thank you!

*takes a sniff of the flower* *starts coughing her lungs out*

Don't quite know what wrong. I've had a temp since Thurs, and seemed to be getting better, but it came back full force yesterday and today. Finally got some medication, so hopefully will be gooder tomorrow

You're a worry...

Worry not... if I don't start feeling better tomorrow, I'll just make an even hotter pot of curry and spice the germs to death

is it safe to come in without one of these?

don't like the sound of that ice cream float.....

...but if you're making...i'll try it...

*has been trying to ignore this topic because of a disinterest in mutant anything. Well, anything that began in comic print, anyways.*

Don't worry, most of the topic is about ice cream, not mutants.

You like not comics?? I shall banish you from this topic then

Grrrrrrr

Sir M, have you never had a float before??

no...very sorry...will attempt to rectify this at my earliest convenience..

Wow... Can't believe it!

I'm beginning to believe that they dont have food over there...

Maybe fudge is all they need?

And McDonald's... because seemingly everywhere in the world has McDonald's

bah!

McDonalds is not worth the cardboard it's made from...

I bought a burger from a charcoal chicken joint the other day....

WORST burger I have ever had.

I actually thought - should have gone to maccers instead.

True Story

wow..that's bad.

Yep...

Cost me $8 too. If I weren't unwell, I would have driven back and returned it to them.

Made me so mad

were you unwell before or after you had it?

omg...

LOL

Before...

I'd gone to the doc's and the place was directly across, otherwise I wouldn't have stopped there

Might I ask how would you have returned it?

I would have just taken whatever they had given me and taken it back to them.

Right... so no spewing over the counter involved then?

It was a meal, so it came with fries... the fries were like 70% cooked. Raw in some places! And tasteless

Nah...

I'm classy

you need to get that illness sorted quick..no telling where else it might make you go.

Yeah, I'm gooder now. Should be sorted out soon

Phew

ah...tis good to hear..

Danke

Ah well, at least you weren't so ill that you went to McDonalds.

I went there once to use the toilet ...

Every once in a little while I crave it.

Usually after I've had a few drinks.

just in case you're not paying attention dek...

...only 95 to go 

After a few drinks works for me too.  I need the toilet...!

NINETY FOUR??

YAAAAY!!

It's finally less than a 100!

wouldn't it be really funny if you waited all that time and then it was delayed....

NOOOooooo

That wouldn't happen!

hahhaah: "Wolvie stops at McDonald's to use bathroom"

Eh??

Just an excuse for him to get delayed?

No! I shall not have it!!

87 days!

i thought you ran to this topic....?

i've already been here....checked the countdown.....and buggered off again.

i ran via the fridge to get a drink first.. i'm weak like that you see

Slack...

87 days... how am I gonna get thru it?!!?

87 is closer than the original 135 

Thank Time/Planet Rotation/<insert something random> for that!!

Gosh... I hope they don't delay the release here!!

hahahaah you're obsessed woman!!

But.... but... IT'S WOLVIE!!!

Apart from one or two exceptions, he's probably my longest love

Well dek, I'm flattered, but don't you think I'm a little out of your league 

heheeheh

HAH!

only 72 now...(just in case you're not paying attention)

You know, I tried to check in earlier, but of course, the topic wouldn't load...

So thanks for reminding me!

72 days??

That's like 2 more months!

you'll make it......we'll help you through...

(though i'm glad i'm a safe distance away...y'know....just in case the waiting gets to you)

I knew there was a reason I moved away!

You know, I tried to check in earlier, but of course, the topic wouldn't load...

And that's why your people need to set an option to see piccies or links...

Mr Dent - Yes yes... cept this was a different issue

Sir M and Morgan - It was a happee exclamation, as in - only 2 more months!

Given we started at 135 days

it didn't sound very happy...

I should have chucked in a I suspect.... was too excited to think abt it...

Lost in typography

It would seem that Mr Wolvie, instead of working on getting the film to me, has been distracted with a little thing called the Oscars...

Hrrrmph!

(Actually, his opening was great. Made me stick around to watch the rest for once)

I haven't heard of any floods in your area, so i guess you weren't drooling too much

Nah...

I don't drool when not sleeping

No? what do you do when you're awake?

dribble? salivate? slobber?

When I'm awake?

I try to get back to sleep mode

No wonder you're crazy....

You spend all day trying to get back into sleep mode, yet you drink 10 cups of coffee each day!

10-a-day?

i thought it was 10 before breakfast.

or was it 10 for breakfast....?

Hrrrmph!

It's usually only two a day!!

And sometimes a cup or two of chai on top of that

only 2....?

Yep... one in the morning, one in the afternoon...

Sometimes more, if I have a coffee meet up

freak....

I presume by 'one' she means one of these.....

LOL exactly... we know what you're playing at...

That's not a cup, it's a funny shaped trough!

I wouldn't drink from that....

Not unless it came with a USB plate to keep it warm!

And a STRAW!!! (nfi why)

Actually, that's part of the image in my mind... I forgot to write abt it.

A looong straw that's within reach of my mouth, so I just need to turn my head and take constant sips

lol sometimes i think we must be related... veeeeeerrryyyy distantly related, but altogether the same

heheheheh

Could be worse things than being related!

lol true...

Well we're all related one way or another, via this guy

I say guy... I mean couple, takes 2 to become the most recent common human ancestors.

Yeh, I remember watching a doco abt that and feeling immensely pleased

Only stands to reason really... if you look back into the past of each person, you'd have to have an exponentially expanding cone of ancestors to prevent overlaps just within your own ancestry (cone shaped if you imagine a 3D family tree with yourself at the apex, broad end going backwards into the mists of time). The limited number of people alive at any particular point in history make it impossible for you to have enough ancestors to prevent a rather large amount of overlap...

Mesh that with 6 billion other peoples' ancestries and there's no chance in hell that any of them are going to be distinct from any other throughout all of human history. Especially not when you consider the times in ice ages when the human population came perilously close to disappearing altogether.

Yeah...

It kinda freaked me out that it mirrored the Adam and Eve story though

And the Adam and Eve story freaked me out (when I was young and it hit me) cos there must have been incest in there some where.

In those days, that was baaad

It's still baaaaad for the gene pool in the long run. Isolated cases aren't going to immediately cause nasty genetic defects, and if I remember rightly it only takes a group of about 100 individuals to maintain enough diversity to keep the pool from going stagnant.

And besides, it doesn't mirror the Adam and Eve story   'Mitochondrial Eve' and 'Y-chromosomal Adam' lived thousands of years separately, they just happen to be the most recent members of the group of ancestors that we can all be traced back to. There would have been plenty of other folks around at the time, it's just that their bloodlines all either crossed with those of the MRCA's or didn't survive to the present.

Takes a lot of successful breeding and competing to keep a bloodline flowing through the ages, gotta have some good genes to become anyone's distant ancestor...

LOL

Yeah, no I get that... but come on, when you see the races we have today, and then someone comes along and says we all had one ancestor (which they do, they reduce it to the male cos of some DNA marker thingy - can't remember specifics) which story comes to mind?

Takes a lot of successful breeding and competing to keep a bloodline flowing through the ages, gotta have some good genes to become anyone's distant ancestor...

A la Genghis Khan?

Genghis Khan spread his genes so wide that even if they were sucky genes, they'd still be around.

The DNA marker tends to be the Y chromosome (for the male common ancestor) or mitochondrial DNA (for the female common ancestor) because they don't change much over time. Other bits would be less useful because you can inherit them from either side, so although you might be related to the common ancestor, you might not have any of their genes.

wow... I've always thought about it but never actually knew... how did you find that link SK?

Which link? The wikipedia one... iunno, just been on that page before, linked by some other website that was talking about it.

44 days to go!!

Meanwhile,

muahahaha

In celebration of there being only 37 days left to wait....

It's been leaked. The internets have it now.

(NB the link isn't to a leaked copy... just a news source for the fact that it's now in the wild. Easy enough to find yourself a torrent if you want it )

*GASP*

No no, for this, I will actually make it to the cinemas... Wolvie can have my money

If he survives you throwing yourself at him on the red carpet.

Naaah..... I would never go to a red carpet thing. My ego would smash into theirs and things would get ugly...

Why do you have an arabic-style google ad?

Which, ironically, leads to this page

Oh dear, I'm so not clicking on that....

I'm not seeing that ad... which makes me wonder what you've been searching for

I'd take a screenshot, but I can't on my big three-screen-pc... And doesnt the ad down the bottom of a forum relate to the content of the forum topics?

It's supposed to.... Though I can't make the connection

What in the world have we been talkin about?!

I can kinda relate some americanisms in there, but nothing in arabic/some-middle-eastern-country-language

Maybe it's all the Wolvie chat....

errrrmmmmm

Well its changed now.. To 'Fast Wealth Creation' 

ROFL!!! Totally unrelated, I would have thought

I still have Talk for Free. Hrrrmph!

LOL!!

I found out a bit after posting that the leaked copy isn't the final product. It's still in post processing and what's on the internet still has green-screens and wires visible in places, is missing a lot of special effects and doesn't have all the final music in it.

Even if you watched the pirate one, you'd only have to re-watch the cinematic release, and then you'd have blown the ending for yourself...

Yeah, I read that too...

I might still download it and wait until I've watched the final cut and then watch it. Would be cool to see how much they clean up

OMD!! 10 days left dek

EGAD!!

WOO HOOO!

This day is beginning to look Really Good!

only 10 left!?!

wow, that time has flown. i was thinking there was still another 3 or 4 weeks to go...

Yeah, I was too!!

Community service announcement - Wolvie is NOT a wolf

LOL

hehehe.

at least he explained it in a nice way...a few people i work with would've called you a bloody idiot and spent the rest of the day laughing at you.....and telling everyone else what a moron you are...

hehehe yeah, guess that's why he made the news.

Wolvie be da man!!

4 more days!

FOUR!!

Better start lining up now....

I might go in the arvo on the weekend. Should be less crowded me thinks

yeah...that's probably what everyone else is thinking..

Shhhhh

Don't TELL them!!

I don't think dek will be going seeing how she forgot all about it

Wait... what??

Video dealy didn't like the embed code from this site, but

Why Having Wolverine's Claws Would Suck

Long story short - without the mutant healing to go with them, there's going to be a lot of blood. But it's funnier than that, go watch.

"NOW IN THEATRES"

Go Dek, GO!!!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA

TOo funny SK!

Oh, and you know, I have thought about having claws and what it would mean.... a lot. I've thought about it A LOT

Morgan - I don't have the time!! *sob*

Can make it tonight, tomorrow have 2 other things on, and Sunday I'm gonna watch Dylan Moran!!!

Maybe monday

Oh, I love Dylan Moran, he is a very funny guy..

Me too!!

I love him so much, he's the first live comedy show I'm ever gonna see.

I like his funny accent, its a mix between Irish and pompous Pom..

LOL

I love it too

If I were the marrying kind, I'd totally marry him

Why don't you ask him, he's probably loaded with money?

I think he's married already

*heart shatters and falls to the ground*

hehehe

Poor Deezee..

all the good ones are either married or gay

Thank goodness for that!

Otherwise it'd be easy for me to get trapped....

hahahahah...... i know what your saying... i prefer to date the idiots... its more fun that way (i think)

Nah, I'm the opposite.... Forget dating.

Enough idiots in my life as is

So true....

Just back from watching Dylan Moran.

He's awesome!!! That was so much fun! *swoons*

I highly recommend going to his show when it's your city!

Dylan Moran kicks ass. Anyone seen Black Books?

But of course!!

It's how I fell head over heels!

He's also in a couple of films (Shaun of the Dead, Run Fatboy Run) with Simon Pegg... who also kicks ass.

Shaun of the Dead particularly. I hope you've seen that, 'cause if you haven't I'll have to spend some time going "see it, see it, see it" at you ad nauseam.

Yes yes I have!!!

One of my fav comedies!

Oohh me too

I'm tempted to acquire it and watch it again. I can remember the opening scene - which was bloody hilarious - but not much else

He so funny

I like the "dance" they do in the pub where they walk around bashing things... actually the whole movie's good.. I wanna watch it again too

Ooooh... what if we had a collective Shaun of the Dead viewing?!

How would that work lol it'd be cool, though some of us would have to be watching it at 2 in the morning

Heh yeah....

Suits me fine...

Well here in oz, we're often up at 2.00am watching Formula 1 racing, so it's time for the rest of the world to be inconvenienced..

hahahahaha Point...

ok...this is weird.

i was expecting to see lots of dek shouting 'i've seen it, i've seen it....i saw wolverine naked...' or similar.

i've either got the wrong topic or the wrong universe.....

*sob*

Maybe this weekend, but I'm not holding my breath

It's a bit odd going to the movies alone on a friday night

Well I'd come with you....however I don't really feel like paying $900 to go to the movies...

Awwwww.... But it's Wolvie!!!

Ok.. well HE can pay for it then...

ROFL!!

Okay, I'll tweet him and ask if he will

ooh go on.. i dare you...

He's probably sleeping now.... I will later!

heheheh:

"Dear Wolvie, please fork out some of your millions so that my friend can come to the movies with me.....yes, $900....yes......well you should have thought of that when you made it....."

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Too long... 140 chars remember?

thats like.. the whole conversation there....

hahahahah

And what if he asks for my number?

Didn't think of that did ya?!

so.....??? then we'd have an even better time!!!

(although why would he do that?)

and what if he asks about your "friend"

Then I'll pretend I don't have any

Wolvie can only be mine!!

so you message him asking about money for your friend and then when he asks you about your friend you tell him you dont have any?

He be thinkin you a crazy biatch!! 

And then I'll tweet him a link to this forum. Job done.

hehehehe

then he'll know i exist!!!

HAHAHAHAH D'oh...

Plan fail

For some reason I just came in here and cracked up laughing after reading all that.Makes it real hard to answer phones and work

LOL

Nice to see you crack yourself up Morgan...

hehehe

Not so much me, just the banter going on in here... sometimes we really shouldn't be allowed together dek

LOL!!

I know!!

Too riotous, you and I

well, i saw it at the weekend and to be honest, you'd be better off not going and saving your hard earned pennies......

.....hard earned pennies....?? HAHAHAHA!!!  

however..if you did give him a link to this page, he'd probably take one look at it and give you money to never bother him again...

No no no!

That's it, I'm gonna watch it!

If he saw this page btw, he'd pay me to run his site

Yeah, we could post all over it... It'd be the most activity the site's ever seen!

hahahahaah

Wonder if he'll mind if we don't stick to the topic... hmmm

Only if he's paying us

LOL

Guess who has a date with Wolvie tonight?

Depends on what you mean by date. If you mean dinner and a movie then i guess Morgan. If you mean something else then i'm gonna guess......um.....Morgan....again.

Shhhhh

I'm basking in the after glow of the film

You mean you're still drooling?

Still smiling

So, did you enjoy the film, or just Wolvie?

I thought the film was great!!

Everything I wanted and more.

Except for blood. I mean, adamantium isn't blood resistant as far as I know

What's with a clean set of blades immediately after he's freaking STABBED someone?!

I really wish they'd stop making these shows PG.... I wouldn't bring my kids to it. Too violent as is

Might as well give us adults the whole circus

Huh? You accept that he has retractable claws but not that they have a stay clean coating on them?

He'd at least have to shake em off...

Oh, and I thought they could have cast Gambit better....

I guess the actor sorta grew on me by the end, but that's just cos I've always loved Gambit. But I don't think the actor suited the role.

I thought it a bit odd that after they'd administered the adamantium, first time his claws come out, they are conveniently blade shaped....

And young Prof Xavier didn't look too good.... I'll have nightmares about that face...

hahahaha Yeah, I'd already begun thinking of that when I saw the bone claws

adamantium - designer metal

Ok, so I only just saw this on sunday night.. I only have one question... what happened to his jacket?

Huh?? What jacket?

The jacket that he gets from the old man.. it's the same one he wears all through the x-men movies. He doesn't have it at the end when he's on the island...

I thought he had it and then took it off on the island....

that jacket... mmmmmm

Yeah.. but does he go back to the island to get it?? You never know.. it's like, the movie ends and he's jacketless.. does he just go into the other movies with it? hmm...

He made that jacket look so good, I'd buy it, hang it up and just stare at it

LOL you would!

*grin*

So, I saw it on the first night of release... but I'm finding it increasingly hard to get onto tangler now days to post my thoughts (due to too much work and not enough staff  ).. So... It was awesome, even though it had many holes and plot flaws, I still think it was awesome.

Yeah, same, I agree with you

And hire some people and get less busy will ya!

you only say that because you have more fun when I'm active ... maybe I like to keep the anticipation... you never know when or where I will pop up

Yeah yeah.... I ain't gonna wait for you forever!

I jest.... I probably would

haha... I love you to

LOL!

See how Wolvie brings out the lurrve?

hehehe

lol! yeah.... the lurrve!! is that krazee lurrve or kwazee lowv?

If it's krazee, it has to be krazee lowe

or krazee lub?

uhhhh... no....

Too dangerous that one

oh... well... I guess!

we are on the interwebs... so we dont want to get too dangerous with the lubs

hahahaha SEE!

And it's not like anyone actually needs any encouragement

Specially dek 

Says the resident trouble maker....

Who?

Oh don't you come feigning innocence here!

in - no - cen - ce ???

hmm....

*goes to look it up*

S'ok.... krazee still lowes you

Aawwwww!!!

It's all pseudyx's fault... he brought the lovey dovey mood in

Don't go blaming me for your secret interwebs crush

Who said it was a secret?

*smiles winkingly*

Or is that *winks smilingly*

I think you had it correct the first time *winking smilesly*

Well.... they're two different expressions aren't they?

How about *smiles and winks* ?

the first implies an eye twitch... the second implies deviousness

and the third is just plain flirting

Only for you 

awww... thanks!

(Dear man staring at me.... I am smiling at Morgan, not you)

hahahahaha!!! you are so crazy.. and i love it

It's the burden of the name I chose for myself....

*shaking head*

pseudyxisdekrazee

oh man.... that just spun me out

Oh and, you can refer to me as pseudyx... you don't have to call me "Dear man staring at me..."

it doesn't have to be so formal

HAHAHAHAHA

If only it were you, I might not have been that freaked out

pseudyxisdekrazee

ROFL!! Love it!

Its stuff like that which makes my avatar act that way...

*ow, my bwain!*

hahahahahaah
