Horse Sense

Here's what happens when the Acheron team gets to horseing around in chat after solving the orb puzzle:

Quote:

[21:08] <Magesteff> Rose I think the extra info was because we kept betting on the wrong horse
[21:09] <rose> I don't have any sense at all of the puzzles and their complexity
[21:09] <Addlepated> we just horsed around too much
[21:09] <rose> or not enough
[21:09] <Magesteff> We kept beating a dead horse
[21:09] <Addlepated> but now we have it from the horse's mouth
[21:09] <rose> but hey, I found the apocalypse drinking game
[21:09] <rose> and we started the haiku contest
[21:10] <Addlepated> so, I guess we shouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth, right?
[21:10] <rose> so it wasn't all bad Smile

[21:10] <talax> *groan*
[21:10] <LazarusLong> at least it wasn't a trojan horse
[21:10] <Addlepated> although when I realized the answer, I shouted obscenities so loudly, I got a little...
[21:10] <Addlepated> hoarse.
[21:10] <scrivener22> BA DUM CHING
[21:10] <rose> but I learned all that Mayan stuff
[21:10] <rose> and dammit i want to USE IT
[21:11] <Addlepated> Yes, that was quite a tail wasn't it?
[21:11] <Magesteff> Rose hang onto it, it may come in handy for an ARG down the road
[21:11] <talax> damn punners
[21:11] <Magesteff> Talax, did we put the cart before the horse again for you?
[21:11] <Addlepated> Yes, now that we're not bridled with that silly puzzle anymore we should trot right along.
[21:12] <White_Knight> thats not a BIT funny
[21:12] <talax> i give up... Smile

[21:12] <rose> ahhhh please no more please
[21:12] <rose> hehehh
[21:12] <LazarusLong> well then, galloping right along...
[21:12] <White_Knight> looks like the neighs have it
[21:12] <scrivener22> yes, please re-canter all of those awful puns
[21:12] <Addlepated> Foal me once, shame on you?
[21:12] <Magesteff> Time to cinch up the belly belt and ride off into the sunset
[21:13] <Addlepated> I hope the solve spurs on the PMs.
[21:13] * scrivener22 wakes up with reggie's head in his bed
[21:13] <scrivener22> ahh!
[21:13] <scrivener22> ahhhhhhhh!
[21:13] <Addlepated> rofl
[21:13] <rose> rofl
[21:13] <Addlepated> that REALLY chapped my ass?
[21:13] <Magesteff> Scriv, you put that back this instant
[21:13] <LazarusLong> now that's a horse of a different color
[21:13] <White_Knight> scriv you better be taking us for a ride
[21:13] <Magesteff> You don't know where it's been
[21:13] <Addlepated> Oh horsepucky, I bet he does!
[21:14] <scrivener22> next time we get a puzzle, we'll try and show a little bit more horse sense
[21:14] <White_Knight> oh we're realy gettiong into these puns HOOF and nail
[21:14] <scrivener22> and take less time to pony up a solution
[21:14] <Addlepated> Hopefully we'll have the horsepower to solve the next one.
[21:14] <White_Knight> .....im out of puns
[21:14] <LazarusLong> well, at least it was an inter-"hest"ing puzzle
[21:14] <Addlepated> I think we just had the blinders on this time.
[21:15] <scrivener22> yeah, come on guys, quit horsing around
[21:15] <White_Knight> we better reign these puns in
[21:15] <Magesteff> No need for a photo finish for this race
[21:15] <talax> *shoots himself*
[21:15] <rose> we were checked at the gate
[21:15] * scrivener22 puts talax out to stud
[21:15] <White_Knight> talax did you use a colt?
[21:16] * LazarusLong puts talax out to pasture
[21:16] <talax> *i'm dead*
[21:16] <Addlepated> what a nightmare.
[21:16] <scrivener22> it took us ten long days to send orb.jpg to the glue factory
[21:16] <Addlepated> The mane thing is, it's over now.
[21:16] <White_Knight> yeah we were all jockying for position to solve it
[21:16] <scrivener22> I was getting thoroughbred-ly tired of it
[21:17] <scrivener22> it took all our hands to get the measure of it
[21:17] <LazarusLong> and the PM's didn't nag us to solve it
[21:17] <scrivener22> they were probably champing at the bit waiting for us to get it
[21:17] <White_Knight> im begining to shire of this
[21:18] <White_Knight> i think we may be flogging a dead horse there
[21:18] <Addlepated> Get off your high horse, WK.
[21:18] <Addlepated> I guess it just goes to show you.. you can lead an ARGer to water, but you can't make him think.
[21:18] <scrivener22> well, we did solve the puzzle first, then made puns. so we're not putting the cart before the horse
[21:19] <White_Knight> sciv been done
[21:19] <scrivener22> dammit!
[21:19] <White_Knight> i think we may be un-stable
[21:19] <LazarusLong> that's it - I'm logging this convo for posterity
[21:19] <Magesteff> White Knight Rides to my rescue!
[21:19] <Addlepated> http://www.geocities.com/davemhoward/afterwards1.jpg
[21:20] <LazarusLong> rofl
[21:21] <Magesteff> Time to break this wild convo
[21:21] --- danman_d is now known as danman_partaying
[21:21] <White_Knight> you know if we concentrated this conversation we'd ahve "joke stirip"
[21:21] <Addlepated> Ugh, WK is about to become a gelding.
[21:22] <White_Knight> HAY thats a good one
[21:24] <Magesteff> What has been in WK's feed lately
