Day 1- Dr Livingstoned's journal
 
http://img292.imageshack.us/img292/6...orehumpst0.gif

I have walked for many days. I'm hoping that the others can find me.


I have decided to strike a base camp here, in the hopes that the rest of the party can catch me up.

Yolamba (my pack boy) fell the other day crossing the great river to the east. I was forced to eat his remains, for sustenance and use his skull as a tea kettle to warm myself in this cold environment.

Still, jolly on and all that.

I shall map this location, and look about and see if I can make contact with any of the natives.

It looks to be a barren and inhospitable place.

If I cannot locate the rest of the party I only hope that someone stumbles upon my frozen corpse and finds these notes usefull.

god save the Queen,

Dr. Livingstoned.

You could be right. It looks like Yorkshire.

It also looks like Kenny Everett ... :eyebrow:

I really want more of Doc Livingstone's Excellent Adventures. That was pretty darn funny.

Yolamba made me snort.

fargon 01-25-2009 05:20 PM

Welcome to The Cellar. Just don't drop your keys if you do kick to fark.com before you bend over to pick them up.:rasta: :fsm: :welcome: :bong: Watch out for Lumberjim.

lumberjim 01-25-2009 06:48 PM

i immediately thought this was a sock puppet of foot3. but i'm not sure.

Oy!


Nice to have you on board for all the excitement, eh Livingstone! You seem a straight up sort of fellow.

classicman 01-25-2009 07:48 PM

Stoned post & run - prolly never to be seen again. Too bad too, it was rather funny.
(shhh I'm baiting here)

whats baiting

capnhowdy 01-25-2009 08:37 PM

Chocolatl 01-25-2009 09:10 PM

Or got turned into a toad.

Reckoner 01-25-2009 09:51 PM

Well, well, Dr. Livingstoned. I have caught up with you at last! I know you tried to ditch all of us back at that crazy thinkers camp but we caught your scent very quickly. This camp looks like it will do nicely. Would you mind passing the tea. I'm parched from the long trek through the jungle.

You should pray that Uday doesn't catch up with us this time. Lord knows what he'd do to a place like this.

TheMercenary 01-25-2009 09:51 PM

You will be killed by the IP's.

classicman 01-25-2009 11:53 PM

Got one on the line methinks...

capnhowdy 01-26-2009 06:02 AM

I can see the thread title now:

Group of jungle trekkers banned by request.....of administrator....

Pie 01-26-2009 09:45 AM

eh, let them all cannibalize each other.

Sundae 01-26-2009 09:48 AM

Is that the updated version of Let them eat cake?
I dunno, I reckon the good doctor could be a valuable part of the cookie exchange program...

Shawnee123 01-26-2009 09:51 AM

Let them eat Pie? :eek:

Sundae 01-26-2009 09:59 AM

Oh nononononono......!
Newbs don't get to eat Pie. Good gracious, I've been here 4 years now and haven't got to the front of that queue yet.

Pie 01-26-2009 10:17 AM

SG, if I'm on the right side of the Atlantic any time soon, you're at the top of my list! :D

Dr Livingstone, I presume, is indeed a sock puppet. ;)

wolf 01-26-2009 10:54 AM

I don't think it's foot3.

glatt 01-26-2009 11:02 AM

not crescent fresh enough?

sir john 01-26-2009 11:19 AM

camp found
 
greetings fellow explorer

i will send word back to the academy that i have found you and located the camp, after a bit of rest i will have a look around

glatt 01-26-2009 12:07 PM

Feels like the Cellar is being invaded by a frisbee golf game that is just playing through.

lumberjim 01-26-2009 12:13 PM

i'm diggin it

glatt 01-26-2009 12:27 PM

They are having fun. It's almost like a sort of an internet safari. So to speak.

lookout123 01-26-2009 12:32 PM

Looks pretty cool and it sounds like they're having fun. Welcome to the cellar folks.

Plan of Attack: Brainstorm

"NEWS TEAM, ASSEMBLE!!!"

Wherever we decide to explore, we should have an "intro" thread where we all make an initial appearance. Think of it as the opening credits to our TV show "....And Payne as Dr. Phineas T Poxswattle." *Payne poses*

We'll dick around on the forum, but most of the time, when something relevant is "happening", it'll happen in our intro thread. So as a brainstorm...

we all show up as safari explorers. In our intro thread we comment about the long dangerous trip through the internet, and the awful atrocities we've witnessed (you know like Goatse). We're looking for Dr. Livingstoned, who is lost on the internet. Smalltalk smalltalk adlib, etc

The next day, someone makes an alt of a "native forumite". He shows up in our thread and gives us some clues as to where Dr. Livingstoned is. Maybe he's been sighted viewing some other thread on the board.

Anyway, when we're ready to draw the antics to a close, Dr. Livingstoned shows up in our intro thread and we all shake his hand. Having recovered our teammate, we can leave this god-forsaken place. Then, before we leave, we'll post a link to the next message board we're exploring.

If we meet anyone supercool we'll link them to our forum.

anyone want to riff on this?
what a cool idea. supercool.

Sir Ralph 01-26-2009 12:42 PM

Dr. Livingstoned! Sorry I'm late; I meant to show up earlier but I was detained by a ferocious jungle bureaucrat.

classicman 01-26-2009 12:44 PM

I dunno glatt

classicman 01-26-2009 12:45 PM

Welcome Sir Ralph...

lumberjim 01-26-2009 12:54 PM

i wanna go on the next trip!

TheMercenary 01-26-2009 01:08 PM

I found Stanley's map, follow it and you will find what you are seeking.

sir john 01-26-2009 01:15 PM

Jolly good show chaps, post approval is a bit of a bother, but the rest of the lads from the royal academy will make there way into camp once we figure it out.

TheMercenary 01-26-2009 01:26 PM

"Draw a £1000 pounds now; and when you have gone through that, draw another thousand, and when that is spent, draw another thousand, and when you have finished that, draw another thousand, and so on; but, find Livingstone!"

— charge given Henry Morton Stanley in October 1869 by James Gordon Bennett

lumberjim 01-26-2009 01:28 PM

I hate that feature myself. Everytime i register a sockpuppet/dual/alt, I have to wait for UT or bruce to notice it, and clear me.
It is the only thing that works for the amount of spammers that come to call though.

How long have you been on safari, Sir John?

::: passes a flask of cellar whiskey:::

How many forums will you visit this trip out?

wolf 01-26-2009 01:36 PM

I hope that the wilds of Darkest Pennsylvania do not prove too much for them. They've already lost their mildly expendable porter, and may need all of their massed strength to confront the dreaded wild beasts that here abound.

I thought that the White Man's Burden was not supposed to include his own luggage?

lumberjim 01-26-2009 01:36 PM

is this person one of your expedition scouts?

http://cellar.org/showpost.php?p=523448&postcount=78

sir john 01-26-2009 01:41 PM

we are doing back to back safaris this time so some of the blokes will be tired from the travel (bit of whisky hits the spot), we set camp at one tribe of Internet natives at a time and strike out to explore.
this does seem a friendly group i am quite taken with the hospitality and whiskey is always a proper pick me up for an intrepid explorer.

i don't recall the name but the academy sends out new fellows after every trip so it is bloody hard to tell

glatt 01-26-2009 01:48 PM

we like visitors.

We must have you for dinner. Maybe when the rest of you arrive.

Watch out, man! He's just trying to soften you up for some nefarious purpose. Or somebody else's nefarious purpose.

We have extras.

Spoken like a true native. :D

sir john 01-26-2009 02:02 PM

not the first cannibal tribe we have visited , but i will send word back to the team to warn them, now where is that porter ( you don't suppose he has already been eaten do you?)

wolf 01-26-2009 02:05 PM

I don't think being eaten is the big problem. Remain seated, and nobody should get hurt.

TheMercenary 01-26-2009 02:06 PM

No sudden movements.

attempts to flee

TheMercenary 01-26-2009 03:23 PM

Stopped by natives with shields and spears, no blood drawn, yet.

lumberjim 01-26-2009 03:23 PM

well, when you phrase it 'attempt to flee' it seems like you don't think you'll succeed. anyway, at this point, here around the fire it's much safer than trying to traverse the wild in the dark. You could fall into a pit, or get bit by a snake, or buttfucked in the mouth by Flint if you go out there now.

lumberjim 01-26-2009 03:25 PM

merc, wolf....where is your sense of hospitality?

please don't eat the men in the funny hats. It's not nice. Do you want the genital cuff again?

TheMercenary 01-26-2009 03:29 PM

I start with eating the heart, that way their soul can't haunt me. I'll leave the ball sack for others.

sir john 01-26-2009 03:29 PM

hunker down in camp and keep the blunderbuss close at hand, there was a native handing out whisky earlier if you cant find him i will break into the gin ration early...

where are the fnords 01-26-2009 03:34 PM

backs away from the spears and helps get the water to boil for tea
