We all remember a couple of weeks back when a sleep deprived SiuilARuin was practically delirious from a last minute paper writing marathon.

This is an intervention. Siuil needs to finish her dissertation before the same dire circumstance repeats itself.

    Siuil, get thee hence to a word processor, preferably one on a machine without Internet access. March!
  2. Epicharis
    Oh man....I got my own telling off thread
  3. greencurmudgeon
    @Still

    It's worth mentioning that Siu has fulfilled her troll baiting duty for the day as well.
  4. Anok
    Get thine ass to work!
  5. Stillthinking
    Yes, you are done for the day. Stop procrastinating and get to work!
  6. legbamel
    I fear we're going to have to ignore her completely to discourage her participation until she's done.
    1. Epicharis
      Oh, now that's not fair at all!
  7. Epicharis
    I can't work...I'm an idiot, remember?
  8. Stillthinking
    Hmmm, do we need to resort to such drastic action as shunning?
    1. Epicharis
      noooo! don't send me to Coventry! I don't like it there!
    2. greencurmudgeon
      I could threaten to shave my beard off, apparently that sort of thing disturbs her.
    3. Stillthinking
      We just don't want you to wait until the last minute again. Listen to your elders.

      *looks stern*
    4. Epicharis
      I think technically it already is the last minute...I'm not going to tell you how much work I have to do...
  9. Anok
    *Waps Siuil with a rotten fish*

    I'll do it again! I swear it!!
    1. Epicharis
      I knew you'd post that!
  10. Floormodel
    maybe a reward system, 50 minutes of working earns you 10 minutes of troll smacking
    1. Stillthinking
      Hmmm, that 10 minutes turns into an hour so easily though. The internet is all about time suckage.
    2. Epicharis
      Unfortunately that kind of this has never worked for me...I always challenge authority...and when I'm the authority it's really easy to win...
    3. Anok
      Hahahahaha

      GO WORK!
  11. Epicharis
    I don't like this thread at all
  12. Stillthinking
    *smacks head*

    You do realize you're not hurting anyone but yourself.
    1. Epicharis
      I'm not hurting anyone at all! You guys are the ones beating the crap out of me!
    2. Stillthinking
      Why do I get the impression you have not even started?
    3. Epicharis
      because you're very perceptive?
    4. gtally
      (Gleefully donning a troll costume)

      That's exactly the kind of stupid answer we'd expect from a dirty, no good procrastinator!

      Heh. Heh. Heh.

      Did I do that right?
    5. gtally
      No laughing, Siuil!

      I'm a socially challenged troll with anger issues! So there!

      You, you -- poopy head!

      (This should be like waving raw steak in front of a tiger)
  13. crpitt
    I could ask admin to ban her from forums for 48 hours? for her own good?
    1. Epicharis
      Wow you guys are so mean! I'll go mad! I'm in the house alone...I'll have no one to talk to!
    2. crpitt
      We are supportive and its a distraction from the tons of work I have to do
    3. Stillthinking
      Actually, I was thinking the same thing. It's good you are in the house alone with no one to talk to. Then you'll have to work on your paper.

      No Facebook or Twitter either!
    4. Epicharis
      I don't have Facebook or Twitter...I love you guys too much to talk to anyone else...
    5. Stillthinking
      We love you too, that's why we don't want you to flunk out of school or kill yourself with last minute cramming.
    6. Epicharis
      I don't suppose "I'm deathly ill" is going to have any effect?
    7. Stillthinking
      Not at all. You have been bellyaching about being sick since before I left for Paris. I don't believe a word of it.
    8. Epicharis
      I have glandular fever
    9. Stillthinking
      You've got mono! The kissing disease! Serves you right for being so promiscuous.
    10. gtally
      Better get busy writing or Siuil A-Ruin Your Grades!
  14. Floormodel
    maybe we can bribe her wih promises of baked goods?
    1. Epicharis
      nah...I can bake goods for myself and have them quicker if I bake rather than work...
  15. greencurmudgeon
    @siu

    You do realise that certain religious members of this board are probably praying to God that you fluff this. In which case, if you do, then you'll be vindicating them.
    1. Epicharis
      wow...that was good...really really good!
    2. greencurmudgeon
      @siu

      Indeed, think about the trolls you constantly prod - how they will be *laughing* if you don't achieve this.
  16. Stillthinking
    Hmm, I think Claire is right. Each and every one of us should petition admin to suspend Siuil for 48 hours for her own good.
    1. Epicharis
      You'll miss me...admit it...
    2. Stillthinking
      It's only 48 hours. You'll be back and will have made a good dent in your dissertation thanks to our sacrifice.
    3. gtally
      Get cracking or we'll mail a box of aphids to you! They can maim a rose in minutes.
    4. Epicharis
      don't have me suspended...I'll just end up on IMDB arguing about whether Gone With The Wind should be remade with Keira Knightly as Scarlett...
    5. Anok
      Well, I think 12 hours would suffice. I don't want her to go through withdrawal or anything.
    6. Stillthinking
      *smacks head again*

      I am never having children.
    7. legbamel
      So if we all go report her, admin will boot her for her own good? That sounds like a plan, and one to which dozens of trolls could object at great length and with much feigned vehemence. Sounds good!
    8. Stillthinking
      I think if we just sent shouts to admin to have her suspended for 48 hours because of her dissertation, they may consider it. I don't know. She hasn't broken any rules.
    9. Epicharis
      Careful...I'm not too popular with the admin...they might boot me for good!
    10. Stillthinking
      Fine, we don't want you gone for good.
  17. Epicharis
    Alright meanies...I'm going...I won't be back tonight...unless I get bored...
  18. gtally
    Is Siuil gone yet? Good! Now we can talk smack about her!
    1. Epicharis
      *puts ear to thread*
    2. legbamel
      [smacks Siuil upside the back of her head, causing her to bruise said ear on her monitor] It's a computer, dear. You can't hear us. You'd know that if you'd go do some school work.
    3. greencurmudgeon
      You really shouldn't say things like that. I have a feeling that even if Siu was 10 miles away from the nearest PC, somehow she'd know that statement was being made.
    4. Epicharis
      hahahaha! ok ok...I'm going!
    5. gtally
      (Looking shiftily around and cupping hand to legbamel's ear)

      Here's what I heard:

      Whisper whisper...stupid flower...buzz buzz...uppity rose...thinks she's soooo clever...mumble mumble...and then she...whisper whisper...I *know*...can you believe it!?!
    6. Stillthinking
      That's nothing. I heard *whisper whisper* freaking blue I tell you! *whisper whisper whisper* ROTFL!
    7. gtally
      Gasp! Doesn't prune? Well, that's not all, ST, whisper whisper whisper slander back stab betray whisper whisper
    8. Stillthinking
      Shhh, she's listening.
    9. gtally
      No she's not! If she were, she'd be a horrible person for butting into our gossip and for not working on her dissertation. But I *know* that Siuil is above all that...
  19. Stillthinking
    Someone alert IMDB and let them know Siuil needs to finish her dissertation.
  20. Epicharis
    Look..if you keep saying interesting things I'll keep having to come back to read them...
    1. greencurmudgeon
      Fine, I think we should all start talking about knitting. Isn't acrylic wool fab?
    2. Epicharis
      I do knit actually...
    3. greencurmudgeon
      Curses and blast. OK, perhaps we ought to talk about car insurance.
    4. Epicharis
      yeah...that'll probably bore me...
    5. Floormodel
      I'm saving my wiggles tape for a more drastic time.
    6. Epicharis
      I love the wiggles! 6 year-olds change your tastes dramatically...
  21. Stillthinking
    *crickets crickets* as everyone on the thread drops into dead silence.
  22. Stillthinking
    Alright folks, I am done for the day. Please keep our lovely blue rose in check. It's important she finishes college as it is a tough world out there.
    1. Floormodel
      I'm off to eat but when I get back I'll give her a stern talking to
  23. Epicharis
    Aww...you guys are so sweet...you make me feel all warm and fuzzy! It's kind of gross....
    1. Floormodel
      yeah...well if you don't get to work I might hug you. is that what you want young lady???
    2. greencurmudgeon
      @Floormodel

      We could threaten to send her "Barney the Dinosaur" videos, presumably.
    3. Epicharis
      too far, guys! too far!
  24. rajendradhakal
    oh ! it's really nice
  25. Stillthinking
    I have not spotted the blue rose today! Maybe she is finally working on her dissertation.
    1. Floormodel
      the power of a Barney threat
    2. Stillthinking
      Heeeheeehee! She'll thank us when she's turned in her paper.
    3. Floormodel
      or she'll roll it up and whack us with it
  26. fikrinne
    very nice thanks
  27. Epicharis
    (psst! I'm really bored!)
    1. timethief
      You cannot be more bored than I am.
      I'm wading through shipping receipts.
      I'm trying to find one from last year & the company concerned "lost" the number. Therefore I have to do this physically one paper at a time. arghhhhhhh!
    2. Epicharis
      ok, maybe not...but I am still really bored...
    3. greencurmudgeon
      @siu

      Ah ha! If you don't behave, we'll send you *Smurfs* next.
    4. gtally
      And the paper, Siuil?
    5. Epicharis
      but...but...I've been away a whole day
    6. greencurmudgeon
      @siu

      How many words have you written?
    7. Epicharis
      erm...I'm kind of writing another essay that I forgot I had to write...
    8. greencurmudgeon
      @siu

      Smurfs, Barney and Teletubbies for you, young lady.
    9. Epicharis
      I'm immune to teletubbies...I've watched a lot of teletubbies... and I quite like the smurfs...
    10. gtally
      Hey green, is there's a Procrastination Smurf?
    11. greencurmudgeon
      OK, I'll have to triple the dose of Barney then.
    12. greencurmudgeon
      @gtally

      Presumably he's Lazy Smurf's less ambitious brother.
    13. Epicharis
      I'll just end up watching it in a postmodern and ironic way and it will therefore have no effect on me...
    14. greencurmudgeon
      @siu

      You say that, but you probably haven't experienced "I wuv you, you wuv me" on an playback loop.
    15. gtally
      Don't forget their cousin, Deadbeat Smurf. The @#$!#$! never pays Smurfette her alimony...
    16. greencurmudgeon
      @gtally

      And his brother Tax Cheat Smurf, his other brother Jaywalking Smurf and their brother Welfare Cheat Smurf.

      We've almost got a miniseries.
    17. gtally
      Don't forget Incontinent Smurf. Smurfs all over himself. Little guy's so embarrassing, Papa Smurf won't let him in his mushroom anymore. Even Gargamel won't touch him.

      This is a Smurf we should definitely send Siuil.
    18. Anok
      HAAAAAAAAAAhahahahahahahHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAahahahahahahaha

      Incontinent Smurf
      Buwahahahahahahahahahaha

      Ahahaha

      Snort

      Giggle

      Hehhahahahahhehehe

      Ahhh....
    19. greencurmudgeon
      @gtally

      Utterly hilarious - and yes, definitely, a credible threat for Siu.
    20. Epicharis
      What's with all the threats...I think it's entirely unnecessary...
    21. greencurmudgeon
      @siu

      Well you haven't finished your work.
    22. gtally
      Yeah, but it's fun! You said you were away, all day. Were you working? On the paper? Hmmm?
    23. Epicharis
      I tried to...but I had to walk to the pharmacy and then I was tired so I fell asleep and then I realised I had this other essay to do...
    24. gtally
      (shaking head)

      Siuil, Siuil, Siuil.

      What are we going to do with you?
    25. Epicharis
      ...treat me very nicely?
    26. greencurmudgeon
      @siu

      ...and let you fail?

      I think not.
    27. Epicharis
      I don't respond to tough love...I respond to hot chocolate and sleep...
    28. greencurmudgeon
      @siu

      Obviously not, if that was all it took, you'd have written five dissertations by now.

      I'm preparing your tickets to Coventry.
    29. Epicharis
      oh man...I don't like it there...it smells weird...
    30. greencurmudgeon
      @siu

      Well if you don't graduate, you may end up in Coventry or Swindon, working in a call centre.
    31. Epicharis
      nooo...I'm going to be a waitress!
    32. gtally
      At the call center, you'll be working side by side with Tech Support Smurf (the worst one yet).
  28. gtally
    Tough love is good for you! We want you succeed and not be like all the rest of us degenerates here on the threads.

    Whoops! Did I say that out loud?

    (Runs for the exit)
  29. Epicharis
    BC is really dead tonight...it's almost like people go out on a Friday night or something...might as well be working for all that's happening here...
    1. gtally
      I know. Even I am leaving on a date in a few minutes.
    2. Epicharis
      oooh...get you! Where you going?
    3. gtally
      Sushi. Then "Slumndog Millionaire" at the dollar cinema. Haven't seen it yet, and every other movie out right now is crap, so it should be a fun evening.
    4. Epicharis
      have a nice time!
    5. gtally
      Thanks, and the boards are deserted tonight. I know what you mean. All my BC peeps have left the building. Stillthinking is off enjoying the Chicago weather, Lord knows what happened to the aardvark. And crpitt and Anok are nowhere to be seen. I think greencurmudgeon is gone, as well. Looks, like it's just you and me for a few minutes.
    6. Epicharis
      Before you go out on a date...well don't I feel left on the shelf...
  30. Stillthinking
    Such a beautiful day in the sun! I feel so happy from my long, long bike ride.
    1. Epicharis
      does that mean you're not going to hit me?
    2. Stillthinking
      No, I was just popping by to say hello and see who's around. Since everyone is out tonight, I am checking out as well.


      Get to work young lady! Though it is really, really late where you are right now. Around 1 am correct?
    3. Epicharis
      12:35am....I'm very sleepy...but as sleeping doesn't relieve the tiredness it seems like a waste of time
    4. Anok
      I'm here, just for a little bit. I have loads to do.
  31. Stillthinking
    Siuil still needs to work on her dissertation and now she also has another paper to finish as well. She's already at a computer, all she needs to do is concentrate!
    1. Epicharis
      I thought this thread had gone... go out for sushi dammit!
    2. gtally
      Shhh, ST! I'm finally getting to read the fanfic thread and Siuil is on a roll!
  32. ranist22
    I remember when I was doing my Dissert... I can emphatize!
  33. gtally
    Sheesh, Siuil, you're cranky today! And combative. How is your dissertation coming?
    1. Epicharis
      I'm not doing a dissertation, and I'm cranky because people keep pissing me off.
    2. gtally
      Yikes! What can we do to cheer you up and get you back in a good mood? I will get back to the fanfic thread, eventually.


      ....please don't hurt me....
    3. Agit8r
      Jeeze, siuil! Work on your dissertation already!
    4. Epicharis
      I'm not sure I like that there's a thread dedicated to telling me to piss off!
    5. gtally
      We kid! We kid! And we don't want you to leave, either.

      (backs nervously towards the exit).
    6. Agit8r
      just giving you crap... my bad
