Simple to play - one person sits in the chair and chooses a subject, we ask them questions.

No using the web for help with the answers(you're on your honour here - it's just a game, don't cheat)!

Hurrah!

I take the chair and set myself up for a massive fall by choosing: Chemistry!

(Linford was eliminated for two false starts).
Posted by syl, 16:33, 1st June 2004:
 
Oh feck. Chemistry...

Posted by syl, 16:43, 1st June 2004:
 
The answer I was looking for was Vic and Rosie, but it seems that might work out! (heh heh)
/very lecherous laugh
although i want Brock
Posted by WarHead, 16:43, 1st June 2004:
 
I thought it was UST (i.e. tension, rather than chemistry).

There seems to be a lot of simul-posting going on.
Posted by Grim..., 16:44, 1st June 2004:
 
Do I get a ping?
Posted by syl, 16:45, 1st June 2004:
 
I warped it a bit for Grim, since that is the only chemistry I know anything about :(

How come I can't see you anymore on the left?
Posted by Grim..., 16:54, 1st June 2004:
 
We've had this dicussion, non?
Posted by Brock, 16:55, 1st June 2004:
 
I prefer to appear omnipresent, and if no-one knows when I'm here, it's a lot easier...

There was also a comment about my being sad for being on here the whole time, so I'm attempting to mask that by not letting my presence be logged overtly :)

It would probably be a better solution to go out and get a life, but I can't be arsed.

What if my specialist subject was "Searching on Google"?

NO! FUCK! NO CARBON!!!!oneoneonceuponatime

Syl takes the chair =[
Posted by Grim..., 17:14, 1st June 2004:
 
Alf - fine, but you wouldn't be able to look at google to get the answers, it has to be in your head.
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 17:15, 1st June 2004:
 
How many did you get Grim?
Posted by syl, 17:15, 1st June 2004:
 
Carbon.
Darn it. That's as far as I know too. I'll google it. (sorry)
Posted by Grim..., 17:18, 1st June 2004:
 
No, I missed out carbon, so it's your go.

Fog - I got three, if you give me a ping for Ag =]
Posted by WarHead, 17:18, 1st June 2004:
 
Are you actually following the rules, Grim? Because I can't work out what the hell's going on.

But I'm off home now anyway.

Be seeing you.
Posted by Grim..., 17:18, 1st June 2004:
 
You can google for questions, but not answers.
Posted by Grim..., 17:19, 1st June 2004:
 
I missed carbon out of the first seven periodic elements, hence I got it wrong.

So it's syl's go, because she asked the question.
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 17:20, 1st June 2004:
 
I 'ping' you for Silver.

So, thats 3? I am still winning!! Woooo

hell she could just name seven diffent brand names for the pill
Posted by syl, 07:28, 2nd June 2004:
 
Well, I didn't know who 'the woodsman' was, so Grim is back in the chair I guess, if you follow the rules. Until het gets here, though, I'll take a stab at it:
condom,pill,injection,coil,loop,(all female forms I might add! *grumble*grumble*),VASECTOMY, there's also a female condom i think? and a male pill.
Posted by Grim..., 08:41, 2nd June 2004:

Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 10:01, 2nd June 2004:
 
You can get the femidom, which is a nasty female condom.
Posted by WarHead, 10:19, 2nd June 2004:
 
What if the female isn't nasty?
Posted by Foghorn Leghorn, 10:31, 2nd June 2004:
 
Then turn her round.
Posted by syl, 10:32, 2nd June 2004:

You're so easily aroused, Brock. Is it a general thing or just due to lack of sex?
Posted by Brock, 10:48, 2nd June 2004:
 
Americanisms get my goat, somewhat. You may have noticed.
Posted by WarHead, 10:57, 2nd June 2004:
