<Cthulu> oh shit, so if my time calculations are correct, it's Blend O Clock <Warpus> Hey motherblenderers! ߱     hen        ߱          ۲  ۲   ۲           ۲        t h e ޲۱     e r    ޲    ޲ ܲ۱     ۱                             the blender juliennes fries ߰   w e g o t o l d     <Skrubly> I just relized that my IRC script (LiCe v2.6.5, copyright 1997) is  older than a significant number of my coworkers. Life is strange.  s u b j e c t o b j e c t a c c o r d    <nitron> heard there was a blend. curious what the subject matter is <Cthulu> well that is the question is it not  this time the game is wide open because mister roboto is officially  sitting out  after winning I think the last three in a row  sad, because it denies us another piece of amazing gonzo mr roboto  work  but exciting because it gives some other sucker a fighting chance! <kniffy> last place here i come <Warpus> Send all questions submissions words and dick pics to Cthulu <Cthulu> warp, you're thinking of the blendr app <Cthulu> since we're close to halloween  spooky words are encouraged <Warpus> Such as ghost or zombie ghost <Cthulu> what could be scarier than the zombie ghost  but the mummy vampire! <Skrubly> did I tell the story of my friend who was scared of both zombies  AND sharks  and when he didn't take his medication he was really scared of Air  Sharks, which are sharks that swim in the air and are lurking for  you behind a corner down a hallway <Warpus> Those are the worst kinds of sharks <Skrubly> and long ago we found a clip online of a really cheesy horror  movie and it had a zombie fistfighting a shark underwater  I feel bad, in some ways, but it's hard to feel bad about  something that is just so perfectly tailored to one person  I mean we all laughed about it, after the running and the  screaming and everything <Warpus> In the movie cabin boy a guy fucks a shark Cabin boy is apparently very loosely based on the works of homer <Cthulu> o brother where art thou is famously loosely adapted from the  Odyssey  Strange Brew is very loosely based on Hamlet <Skrubly> Hamlet 2 was based on... well, a lot of stuff <Cthulu> Hamlet 2: Electric Boogaloo <Warpus> Hamlet 3 is going to be good <Skrubly> Hamlet 3: The Hamleting <Cthulu> hamlet 3: kill your uncle with a vengeance <Skrubly> I feel like we could probably do a large scale co-op joint for  Hamlet 5: Multi-Media Interactive Exravaganza <Cthulu> we just landed on the words  are you ready friends?  too bad, because here they come anyway  yippie kai ay little doggey, we've got a RODEO COWBOY  there is DUELLING going on  warpus, where is this cowboy duel taking place? <Warpus> In the motherfucking ABANDONED METAVERSE <Cthulu> you should be able to do something with that <Cthulu> I'm just going to have to assume that people saw the words, the  silence was deafening <Skrubly> a technical question: in this abandoned metaverse, is this before  or after they added legs to the avatars?  because I heard that the legs were a really big deal to the five  people other than zuck <Cthulu> I think the metaverse has been abandoned throughout its entire  existence, past present and future  so you can set it during a time when it had legs or when it didn't <kniffy> its even online to actually go into as it were? <Cthulu> I also heard that the recent legs demonstration was fudged, and  that legs are not currently part of the metaverse experience  maybe you can set it in a post apocalypse when legs are all that  remains of it! <per5iv4L> it just so happens i am the proud owner of an abandoned metaverse  that features duelling disco cowboys. lots of source material and  im not even kidding <kniffy> is it just an empty version of second life and/or vrchat <per5iv4L> virtual tabletop rpg space western universe i assembled and never  ended up running <Cthulu> Sounds like you're well positioned to win this blender then   t h e r e s u l t s      <Cthulu> OK friends, if you have been waiting for the last minute to send in  your entry... this is it. This is the last minute!  OK, the judges are now huddled in deliberation  ok, the judges are now reading skrubly's story  OK. the judges have read skrubly's story  OK, the judges have finished judging.  OK, the judges are tired of keeping you in suspense.  OK, the judges are going to announce the rankings.  Not a ton of entries, but some strong work and judging was  especially difficult  Mister Roboto usually won with a home run but sometimes games are  won by singles and doubles  we're just out of the habit of doing so <Cthulu> so I'll start with an honorable mention, no points but a big thumbs  up of appreciation for "Show Down" by Mihnoomah of PUP.  a piece with a long and convoluted history, that is difficult for  an ansi editor to decode... Nitron takes home 3rd place for Blur  e-mag <nitron> if any of the purists ask. i drew the FG, but genned the BG with  cmatrix from the CLI of my BBS. call it CLI2ANS ;) <warpus> The purists are so pure they usually stay away from blender =  <nitron> my statement was more to shine a light on how i used my own  'abandoned metaverse' (my bbs, not abandoned but hardly busy) as an  active participant in the creation of the piece; artistic context i  guess ;) the FG is also a rip of an image in my abandoned RPG server <Cthulu> Meta!  ... That wasn't meant as a Facebook joke but I'll take it <Cthulu> Warpus, tell us about 2nd place <warpus> In second place we have a tie! Two great subs by Skrubly of PUP and darkman almighty of Mist <Cthulu> a story and an ansi, both great uses of the words  Skrubly, we were discussing the spelling and pronunciation of your  nickname backstage in the adjudication chambers  are you familiar with the crooner Michael Buble?  "Scruble" would be an excellently niche way to spell your handle that  would ensure that no one would ever accidentally pronounce it  correctly <Skrbly> My handle used to have an umlaut so I think it was pronounced  Skroo-blee but most people pronounce it scrub. I think Buble-ifing  it would be perfect <warpus> Back to you Cthulu to announce the winner <Cthulu> OK, a dark horse entry swept in in literally the last minute to  take first place. and people say there's no suspense or excitement  in Blender, not so!  LDA of Mist gets to take a bow  I was thinking "huh, LDA wasn't even in the IRC channel!" but of  course he was lurking over the Discord bridge, well played <warpus> A last minute twist reminiscent of the sixth sense <Cthulu> So to reiterate, 1st place is LDA / Mist,  2nd tied between Skrubly / PUP and Darkman Almighty / Mist,  3rd Nitron / Blur. Also thanks to Mihnoomah / PUP and we should  get this pack out shortly!  See you around what, January 21st 2023?  "Will do, Cthulu! Let me put it in my calendar now!"  Next time we'll be sure to have the countdown ticker operational  and ... have ops in our own channel, needed to allow us to set the  topic.  Stay tuned for a spooky Mistigris pack due out later this week also!  Warpus, any announcements?  Warpus wants everyone to know he wants some latkes. If you have any connections in the Toronto area, please hook him up <warpus> I was finally able to take a shower  It was good <LDA> I think the real winner here is warpus and his shower <warpus> Damn right haha <Cthulu> One of the Blender infofiles was most strongly informed by my using  my new bidet for the first time, so maybe every time we should  feature a different plumbing fixture <Skrubly> Cthulu: Once you have a bidet, you realize that toilet paper is  for barbarians.  o n t h a t h a p p y n o t e ,     if there ever is another blender, it will most likely be held: (if not sooner!) saturday, january 21st - sunday, january 22nd, 2023 2:00pm - 2:00pm (est) #blender (on EFnet) please join us. - hennifer & warpus & cthulu <warpus> Did you get enough good quotes for the nfo?SAUCE00Blender 2022D infofile Cthulu, Warpus & HenBlender! 20221023n@PIBM VGA
