*sniggers* what are you on and where can I get some?

Fabulous!

I want a Official Fan Clue Bat(TM), so that I have more of a clue... *grin*

I don't know about sourcing an Official Fan Clue Bat but you could always try the following:

a) Visit hardware store
b) Acquire suitable length of two by four wood, adjusting as appropriate for height, arm length/strength etc.
c) Carve one end into a convenient, ergonomic handle.
d) Label with "Fan Clue Bat" in suitably large letters
e) Varnish to protect finish.

Voila! Your very own Clue By Four. :)

I of course lack the skills required for c) - d) but you're probably good to go...

Okay, dude, you're infringing copyright, right there in front on me!

Stop it!

...sssstopppp iiitttt!

Grabs bat to give you a clue...

[identity profile] arcadiagt5.livejournal.com 2007-01-03 10:29 am (UTC)(link)
Well of course I'm doing it in front of you.

Wouldn't be any fun otherwise. :)

But since you asked so nicely I'll stop now. :D

As wielded by the Narn Bat Squad of days of yore?

[identity profile] arcadiagt5.livejournal.com 2007-01-04 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
OK, there have been two references to the Narn Bat Squad now.

Dare I ask for background? Or am I better not knowing?

priceless

I'll take fifteen crates. It won't cover half the people I'd like to give it to, but it's a start.

You're on my wave-length of humour, dude ;)

[identity profile] dalekboy.livejournal.com 2007-01-03 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yup! That's why I so enjoyed meeting you properly.

'Hey, she's nasty... Me like!'

ROFL

me want! me want!

[identity profile] arcadiagt5.livejournal.com 2007-01-03 06:45 am (UTC)(link)
Oh thats just beautiful!

[identity profile] rdmasters.livejournal.com 2007-01-03 01:00 pm (UTC)(link)
Deeply inspired.

Sadly, deep-breathing inspired, no doubt.

(BTW, I represent an establishment that have a good line in a wide variety of LARTS that can be easily re-branded to similar purpose. The Clue-b4(tm) and the fine personal weapons of the Narn Bat Squad were sourced from our warehouses, and an army of monks from the scary devil monastery have used our services. I'm sure that our Distribution Option Order for Merchandise (DOOM) can bring your product down upon the heads of those who desperately need it.)

Chuckle. I'd heard of but didn't immediately recognise "LARTS".

Googling shows it to stand for L* Attitude Readjustment ToolS, with several values of L: Luser, Loser, Large, Linux, possibly others.

I believe the first is sourced from the Bastard Operator from Hell and is generally pronounced with a silent L, as in "what was your (l)user ID?". :)

Ah, it's been a long time since I read any BOFH...

[identity profile] arcadiagt5.livejournal.com 2007-01-04 01:25 am (UTC)(link)
Ditto, check my LJ for an expansion on the theme: the BBAFH.

:)

They have an extensive series over at http://www.theregister.co.uk , where Simon (the BOFH) has a regular feature.

And some of the best (and funniest) tech reporting on the planet!

I always wanted to put on the Mystery Science Theatre hygiene short as part of a con opener to subtly remind people but never had a chance to do so. My worst experience was at a Vahalla 24 hr Sci-Fi movie marathon with a certain well known fan, and my wife once got a train to Seaford and said she could smell the same person at the other end of the carriage.

Also, to return to the animated Who topic, have you seen the TV21 Dalek animations some UK fans did? I haven't been able to find them myself but was told they were pretty nifty
