If one tries with enough persistence, sentences could be transcribed that circumvent the whims of our maniacal rulers, except of course that they have the ability to reach in to the past.
Viva la resistance. The fifth column lives.

Seeing a post in perfect English just seems strange, now.

Working for me. Forum Zul-Gurub be great to lighten the mood for random common words and mask naughty words. When it affects legitimate conversation, it detracts from the forum.
This be SUPPOSED to be a small sequence of programmed instructions about a specific comic and it be lost any sense of meaning. If the I feel like of the mods be-did to slow down the viewership and relevance of this small sequence of programmed instructions, consider it a success!
Corrado: This has absolutely nothing to do with this particular conversation. Do not develop an inflated sense of importance just because this discussion is unusually prolific.
That being said, SexyTalon is active right here and is actively fucking with you. This is fairly typical, as I (and likely the other mods as well) all have specific little ant hills that we're playing with.
It's a joke, and it will be over soon. Well, soon in a relative scale.

Time. The final frontier. These are the voyages of Cueball and Megan. Its continuing mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no one has gone before.

Indubitably. If one resorts to only the most esoteric of vocabulary, ultimate success will ensue (????).
EDIT: Almost.

I'm not seeing the sandball fight ending well. My money is on Megan.

If you be talking about the 1190, then I think it be just you.
Re: 1190: "Things that are on my side for 600, Alex!"
Just realized: the thrown rock landed just about exactly at the place the sandcastle began.

I did a thing. It broke the mod panel. I fixed it.
The end.

By my calculations, everything will be at completion in approximately 168 newpix, assuming it ends at the end of April Fool's.
EDIT: Maths fail.

Except everything that's been quoted as already converted. Good thing there aren't too many quotes going on in this thread...

I must admit, I like the name change of the thread (time) - this was the song I suggested in the song sub-thread about 100 pages back!
I was sure I had an account here before... Ho hum, it's lost in Time now...

Es gibt eine sehr einfache Lösung gegen diese Wort-Ersetzung: Schreibt eure Antworten in einer Fremdsprache! Das Übersetzen durch Google dürfte weniger lang dauern als das Entziffern der englischen Texte!

WTF is a "coal mine"?

Guys... I'm starting to think in the madness language. I'm afraid I might start talking this way. Which is bad, because I'm at work.

Easier solutions exist. I reckon, however, that the mods don't take too kindly to them.
I looked out across the river today …

Not really a fan of the transformation this place has undergone since I departed yesterday. I Guess I shall resort to just watching progress with no commentary until completion. I have so many more free moments in my day now that I shant have to keep up with countless postings.
My Signature is.... Wait for it...
