<Skrubly> this feels so weird. My isp shut down its shell server where I'd been
          using the same irc client and custom script since 1996 and now I'm
          using some weird web based client
<Cth_mist> time for a new ISP!
<Skrubly> did I miss the words?
          or have we not started. I am bad with time
<Cth_mist> we haven't done diddly here yet
<Skrubly> hah
          oh man I'm early... first time since the 90's
<Cth_mist> I was just going to go check the time, always have to do a little
           conversion
           we might all be late but you the least late of us all
<Skrubly> I'm going to use that as an award at work. "The Least Late"
<Cth_mist> yeah, this should be officially starting in 12 minutes

<Cth_mist> OK OK OK hello, everyone.  Greetings and salutations from the
           Blender HQ.
           Warpus is, I gather, refinishing his floor or some such today, so I
           believe I'm kicking this Blender off solo.
           But that's fine, I'm perfectly qualified to invite people to
           privately send me submissions of words for the compo.
           Again, we typically are looking for a combination of a SUBJECT, and
           ACTION, and a LOCATION, eg. the HORSE / SWIMMING / at the WHITE HOUSE           if you're lucky, one of those will be picked along with other
           suggestions suggested by other people, to make up this Blender's
           assigned topics

<Cth_mist> Still stirring the word soup...
           not too late to add new ingrediemts
<Skrubly> do we have words?
<Cth_mist> We are very close to words
           I should announce them in like 7 minutes
           shuffle shuffle
           allllmost there
           just calibrating the location
           all right, everyone
           we have put the words through our paint shaking machine
           all of the bubbles have emerged from the mixture
           are you ready to receive your assignment?
           well, too bad!
           you had all the last hour to be not ready
           nothing up my sleeve
           and ... presto!
           this blender is going to be about a NECROMANCER
           which is to say, a wizard who primarily deals with forbidden magic
           to commune with the dead
           (keeping it light, am I right?)
           what is the necromancer doing?
           he's participating in the OLYMPIC TORCH RELAY
           and where is the torch relay passing through?
           in a great coincidence for this warlock, an ARCHAEOLOGICAL DIG SITE
           we're going to be very vague about where the dig site is, so if you
           have a favorite ancient civilization you'd like to depict as zombies
           competing in Olympic events, we've got you covered!
<warpus> Nice words!
<Cth_mist> the people have good instincts, they send good words
<warpus> I knew Cthulu wouldn't fuck this up

<warpus_> we also unfortunately can't help it but interrupt this pizza sausage
          standards conversation, which we can return to later
<Cth_mist> pizza standards, is that like PNSI?
           8pz vs 9pz, the pepperoni has little more space between the slices

<Cth_mist> ok friends!
           this Blender is in the bag!
           if you made an entry and didn't get it in, you're kind of too late
           we'd still be interested to see it, but
           as it is we received two eligible entries, so we don't have a full
           podium, but at least this way we won't end up with a five-way tie
           like last time
<warpus_> you know it is with the blender summer compo being held place at the
          same time as the olympics, most blender entrants are busy throwing
          discusses and riding horses on the seine
<Cth_mist> anyway, if you can't have a ton of art at least all the art you get
           submitted can be badass as hell
           axb of Mist took the necromancer and ran with it
<spinsane> niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice
<Cth_mist> I don't know what olympic event they're competing in but I do not
           want to be up against them
           it's great art but not the best possible use of the words, so we
           give him one point
           thanks axb, keeping it real!
<warpus_> axb's entry was tight
          like your mom
          and/or aunt
<Cth_mist> i thought warpus was saying that my mom was also my aunt and I was
           trying to figure out how that would work
           is she her own sister?
<warpus_> that's a story for another blender
<Cth_mist> well no but I suppose she could be my father's sister
           warpus will draw you a diagram with box characters in the infofile

              A GENEAOLOGICAL MISREADING OF WARPUS' LEWD INNUENDO:

... OK, we now return you to the regularly-scheduled infofile in progress:

<warpus_> is it time to announce who made it to the top of the podium?
          i think it is
<Cth_mist> if not now, then when
<spinsane> 5am tomorrow
<Cth_mist> no, that would be a worse time
<warpus_> with the use of absolutely zero incest related material, in first
          comes somebody who wowed us with his imaginative and very well
          implemented concept for the three words, 2stoned of mistigris!
<Cth_mist> the necromancer was no less badass
           the torch was quite a bit more olympic
           the dig, well, it's paleontolgy and not archaeology, but axb didn't
           have a dig at all
<warpus_> The entry could use a bit more notocar, this is what the little guy
          sitting on my left shoulder is saying, but I was impressed with the in<Cth_mist> and when you see 2stoned's skeletons doing olympic events you will
           rejoice
           even the north korean judge scored them a six
<warpus_> we did not bribe him btw
          we hold ourselves to higher standards than the IOC
          slightly higher
<Cth_mist> it's basically adorable and hilarious and great use of the words
<spinsane> so it was just the two entries? but both k-rad
<Cth_mist> they were great words!  I only regret that so many other artists
           dropped out since yesterday
           folks, you can still draw for these blender words after the compos
           just release them in other artpacks
<warpus_> i am actually writing a story for the blender pack as we speak
          in an attempt to inspire those watching at home
          to submit their own piece of art or interprative dance
<Cth_mist> we probably fouled the broth by bumping the compo back a week
           of course if we had done it on schedule we would have had different,
           inferior words
           as I like to tell my kids, if things were different, they'd be
           different
<warpus_> nahhh it's summer, everybody's in paris fondling the smurfs
          while being judged by a panel of international judges
          two real entries and my super short story entry that can't make the
          podium due to our integrity and such
<Cth_mist> warpus, don't sweat it, darkforce's integrity is the only one that
           matters
<spinsane> appreciate you guys doing it at all <3
<Cth_mist> if this is all it takes to give artists an excuse to make awesome
           art, happy to do it

<Cth_mist> uh, I think the next regularly scheduled Blendertime would be Oct
           19-20
           and so in conclusion
           We'll see you in October I guess, when things might get really spooky           not this candy-assed necromancer bs
<warpus_> i really hope i didn't make too many sexually charged jokes today
          involving relatives and other family members..  but i hope everybody
          had a grand time!
<Cth_mist> warpus, it's a delicate line
           I think you made just enough sexually charged jokes
           you don't want to make too few
<spinsane> i've honestly felt out of it all day and the sexual jokes just
           confused me (-: <3
<morb> the aristocrats
<warpus_> i'm here to confuse, so pats myself on back
          with my penis
<Cth_mist> sorry, confuse with your penis or pat on back with your penis?
           I'm confused
           so I guess either way, mission accomplished
           All right, thanks again to our competing artists axb and 2stoned!
           Stay tuned for the blender pack release and ... there should be at
           least one more Blender in October, who knows maybe more?
           Until then, stay cool and blend on!
