Excellent! Just don't drink TOO much energy drinks!

But I just drank a six pack of "Slurm"....why is everything moving in bullet time?

Enter Futurama nerd mode: 100 cups of coffee, Jacen.

[Troy Kealley]

Enter science nerd - technically 30 cups of coffee reaches caffiene's toxicicity level and would most likely kill you (but it's still one of their best episodes)!

Ant & Jase you guys going to be around all weekend? Might need a helper here and there to update the words etc.

[LauraSeabrook]

The forum is LOCKED
I'm sure I'm not the only one waiting to post my pages.
Can you create new ones for folk to post in (and just delete the old ones)?

[Troy Kealley]

We're working on it - sorry all for the delay

[LauraSeabrook]

I'll start on the next page anyway...

[LauraSeabrook]

I've created an unofficial FLICKR group for the Comikaze so that contestants can at least show their pages there (want to be moderators?).

[Troy Kealley]

Forums are now unlocked sorry for the delay!

Thanks for your idea there too Laura

Another question.. can you modify the words by plural, tense etc? E.g. can button become buttons? Or approving become approve?

[Troy Kealley]

It's a bit of a grey area, technically no but really it's the context that counts. Plurals are fine though.

Hi, Troy et al. Glad to see you got the lock situation sorted. I was, and can't apologize for, out seeing Gogol Bordell and getting SHITEfaced.

I _think_ Tee and I are gonna try to do something. But I should probably sober up first hehe. Anyway, best of luck to you all!

Still your virtual mom,
Maggie

[Troy Kealley]

Getting shitefaced is a noble cause - no probs at all Mags!

New words will be posted hourly from 11am to 11pm both Saturday and Sunday (I assume noone will want to start in the middle of the night!) The first batch will go on at 11am EST Saturday morning.

{from the random item thread}

Best I can do is get you started tonight at 10pm EST - if you've a had a good night's sleep last night! Let me know ASAP.

I was planning on starting 9:00am EST on Sun ... Any chance of an early set of challenge words for Sunday?

[Troy Kealley]

No probs I'll kick off the words at 9am then - I may not make much sense at that early hour of the morning though!
