Derby #64 Cyberpub: What's in a name?

IM GOING TO EAT YOUR BABYS!!!
!!!
!!!
!!!
!!!

I’ll spray your flies. Oh, and get out that electric fly frier tennis racket thing to use on any that the spray misses.

you sure you want to play this game?

ILL PUT BLUE-RINGED OCTOPUS’S IN YOUR WATER SYSTEM!!!

Oh, good, some sushi! It’ll go with the fugu!

yawn. have to do better than that.

octopi, FYI.

BLUE RINGED OCTOPUS’S ARE INEDIBLE, HA!

you just have to be careful. and, like the dread pirate Robert did, spend a year or two making yourself insensitive to the toxin.

and it’s octopi.

What the heck happened to the Cyberpub?!?

YOU HAVNT HAD A YEAR OR TWO GETTING USED TO ITS TOXINS THAT HAS THE POWER TO KILL 26 FULL GROWN MEN WITHIN MINUTES!

why not? I did it with bee venom when I was a young kid. start with a really, really low dose. almost homeopathic dose. gradually increase it. no problems. It’s not like they just invented those little octopi. sorry, Octopusses.

remember what happened when Vizzini overconfidently challenged the dread pirate Roberts.

no i dont, would you enlighten me?

//Shocked that anyone has not seen The Princess Bride

First, you need to understand that The Man in Black is the Dread Pirate Roberts, and also happens to be Westley.

From the IMDB quotes section for THe Princess Bride:

Vizzini: I can’t compete with you physically, and you’re no match for my brains.
Westley: You’re that smart?
Vizzini: Let me put it this way. Have you ever heard of Plato, Aristotle, Socrates?
Westley: Yes.
Vizzini: Morons.

Westley: I challenge you to a battle of wits.
Vizzini: For the Princess?
Westley: [nods]
Vizzini: To the death?
Westley: [nods]
Vizzini: I accept!

Man in Black: All right. Where is the poison? The battle of wits has begun. It ends when you decide and we both drink, and find out who is right… and who is dead.
Vizzini: But it’s so simple. All I have to do is divine from what I know of you: are you the sort of man who would put the poison into his own goblet or his enemy’s? Now, a clever man would put the poison into his own goblet, because he would know that only a great fool would reach for what he was given. I am not a great fool, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But you must have known I was not a great fool, you would have counted on it, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Man in Black: You’ve made your decision then?
Vizzini: Not remotely. Because iocane comes from Australia, as everyone knows, and Australia is entirely peopled with criminals, and criminals are used to having people not trust them, as you are not trusted by me, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you.
Man in Black: Truly, you have a dizzying intellect.
Vizzini: Wait til I get going! Now, where was I?
Man in Black: Australia.
Vizzini: Yes, Australia. And you must have suspected I would have known the powder’s origin, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Man in Black: You’re just stalling now.
Vizzini: You’d like to think that, wouldn’t you? You’ve beaten my giant, which means you’re exceptionally strong, so you could’ve put the poison in your own goblet, trusting on your strength to save you, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of you. But, you’ve also bested my Spaniard, which means you must have studied, and in studying you must have learned that man is mortal, so you would have put the poison as far from yourself as possible, so I can clearly not choose the wine in front of me.
Man in Black: You’re trying to trick me into giving away something. It won’t work.
Vizzini: IT HAS WORKED! YOU’VE GIVEN EVERYTHING AWAY! I KNOW WHERE THE POISON IS!
Man in Black: Then make your choice.
Vizzini: I will, and I choose - What in the world can that be?
Vizzini: [Vizzini gestures up and away from the table. Roberts looks. Vizzini swaps the goblets]
Man in Black: What? Where? I don’t see anything.
Vizzini: Well, I- I could have sworn I saw something. No matter.First, let’s drink. Me from my glass, and you from yours.
Man in Black, Vizzini: [they drink ]
Man in Black: You guessed wrong.
Vizzini: You only think I guessed wrong! That’s what’s so funny! I switched glasses when your back was turned! Ha ha! You fool! You fell victim to one of the classic blunders! The most famous is never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha! Ha ha ha…
Vizzini: [Vizzini stops suddenly, and falls dead to the right]
Buttercup: And to think, all that time it was your cup that was poisoned.
Man in Black: They were both poisoned. I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder.

o i love that movie! Thats one of the funniest parts haha! Those giant rats scare the crap out of me though! since you can paste all o that do you think you could paste the outline of that Quarentine movie thats comin out? I want to know what its about…

I own two giant rats. Maybe I’ll send them your way.

Too bad Ratatouille would devour them, or my dog Oreeyo

Our toad would probably eat your stinkin’ fly.

my fly’s too small to smell.

There’s a reason toads have those big oogly eyes. to triangulate, catch and hence, eat flies.

too bad there arnt any toads by where i live!

have you ever woken up to see a spider right above your head on the ceiling?

Yep. When I was doing field research in Hawaii. Turned on the light while camping, several were looking down at me. Huge black buggers. Thankfully they stayed up there all night.
