... be stupid

It's 3 o'clock on Friday .... grab's coat and heads for boozer

Nevermind, i'll get me coat

it goes like so:

i shall bitchslap the trolls and feed them my coat, so as to avoid involvement in a land war in Asia between fanboys and apologistas.

oh, and i shall not talk about Reg Club out of respect for Chuck Norris's "IT angle", either (oops).

right, i'll get my grapefruit (gf) then, and be on my way...

Hmm 8 rules ar enot enought all the major relgions are going for 10

May i suggest

Thou when making smart ass comments should allways post anonymously

Thou shall stop being a smart ass and suggest things after the compition.

As per new rules coat door

What about the cardinal rule for everyone here:

Reading the rules is akin to reading the instructions, so therefore somthing beneath us?

can select not more icons than one in the list from....thou shall in the hell burn for it... smaller by a bit u shud make... larger by the numbers u shud allow...

There be pirates on the prowl if ye not follow the rules...

They're fat enough already, especially the big dumb ones in Lancashire that need forklifts to get them out of their houses.

Anonymous Coward said:

“to supplement the rule "you don't talk about reg club" I'm surprised noone offered the real rule 8, which should be

"If it's your first time at reg club, you have to fight" ”

No, rule 8 is correct. You are wrong. The existing rule 8 is actually a paraphrase of your version: "If it's your time commenting at reg club, you have to flight."

if at any time these rules are not followed thou shall feel the wrath of the black helecopters hovering around thoust work and home possibly the pub.....

Well, that's a mystery solved then. All future "what's the IT Angle?" questions can be answered with "it's the angle from which the Shaolin Monks observed Chuck Norris."

Rule 8 observed.

Rules... Rules... we don't need no freakin rules maann.....

except the one that states all barmaids should wear nothing but high heels and hot pants and be fit as the proverbial butchers...

anyway, wheres the IT angle?

i'll get me (flashers) mac...

A vulture is fine too.

What is this rubbish about fairness and giving equal time to the opposing view? Does Richard Dawkins have to put flat earth theories on his web site? I do not see anything about the Church or Lucifer after a news report about the pope.

If I want to talk about that upstart operating system called Vista I should not have to mention that there is a tried and tested alternative that has been around since 1991.

... breaks the first rule of Reg Club!!

I feel a late-friday-afternoon brain logic exploding null recursion loop event occuring...

S.

If you can quote Stephen Fry to support your argument, you have hereby nuked all possible opposition and the discussion is over.

where the Paris Hilton angle is in this story.

Thou shalt not try and sound like a black American R&B band, so let's ditch the word "bitchslap". What about a quote from Blackadder instead?

Can we also get rid of any reference to Chuck Norris? From a non-American point of view he's a B flick actor I've barely heard of. What was the name of the pink taxi driver in the "League Of gentlemen", now there's someone to be afraid of!

How about :

If you are the man from mars you shall be required to post an English translation also.

Spelling and grammar need not be correct

Don' mention the BofH. He might mention you...

Am I the only one in the world who finds absolutely nothing humourous about the "I'll get [my|me|our|] [coat|taxi|jimmy-hat] thing?

Here's a joke that barely is worth the electricity wasted on the keyboard used to type it... But I'll redeem my post by adding "I'll get my coat."

There's nothing funny about it! You're useless!

Who's up for a fight?? Cum on, I'll take yer all on.. I'm hard as nail me, hard as nails!!

On the subject of trolls and fights, where's amanfrommars and what's his take on these rules?

I think we're getting perilously close to being one big clique!!

Actually, is there a rule about not stating the obvious? Sorry I haven't read the instructions yet. . . . .I'll check the pockets of my coat in the green room.

mub - CLUEDO!!!

I've been having weird DNS issues trying to access UK Web sites all day - first the Beeb, then El Reg, and now TV-LINKS.co.uk turns up missing:

10/19/07 16:46:48 dns tv-links.co.uk

No data of requested type

(Host doesn't exist - try Dig for MX record)

Has the Department of Homeland Supremacy decided that you blokes can't be trusted, or is the .uk top-level DNS server losing its marbles?

"6. Thou shalt not get involved in a land war in Asia."

A good rule, but isn't it misplaced? Every body knows that rule 6 is;

6. There is NO rule number 6!

Well, I rarely wear a coat, so I'll just get me cap.

and WHOOOEEEEE!!

Cletus, check out the IT angles on that one!

Should Reg rules not be akin to those for Mornington Crescent ?

If the rules are understandable they must be changed immediately.

....am I the only one here (apart from the yet-to-be-identified scrote who posted this five minutes ago) wondering why the original "rule" that sparked this whole thing off: "Thou shalt not quote Wikipedia and expect to be taken seriously." didn't make the final eight? Did it make too much sense?

Shome mishtake, shurely?

>If you can quote Stephen Fry to support your argument, you have hereby nuked all possible opposition and the discussion is over.

What about if you can quote Philip J Fry, or even Dr. Zoidberg?

Chuck Norris is a big girl. No respect.

2. Thou shalt not ask "Where's the IT angle?" and not expect to be interfrastically discombobulated

coat....hat...

10 PRINT "Don't talk about Reg Club"

20 GOTO 10

30 DATA "Coat"

If a land war happens in Asia, by virtue of geographic association and propinquity, I will likely be involved. And methinks perhaps only Asians staying in the northern regions (Korea and northwards) wear coats regularly. The rest of the continent is too frigging hot and humid.
