PTWDG II - Team "Cake or Death?"

[FrustratedPoet]

TEAM NAME: Cake or Death?

THEME: Eddie Izzard

PHILOSOPHY: Making jokes is the first goal of the team, winning the game is about sixth ..... and the Duck was ninth.
In terms of actually playing the game, we're gonna be very relaxed about it, obviously. It'll be more like a succession game than a demogame from our point of view. No structured government style, any player can play the turns (we'll try to rotate it, depending on who has free time).
The current plan is to play as the English civ.

"Cake or death?"

"Eh, cake please."

"Very well! Give him cake!"

"Oh, thanks very much. It's very nice."

"You! Cake or death?"

“Uh, cake for me, too, please."

"Very well! Give him cake, too! We're gonna run out of cake at this rate. You! Cake or death?"

"Uh, death, please. No, cake! Cake! Cake, sorry. Sorry..."

"You said death first, uh-uh, death first!"

"Well, I meant cake!"

"Oh, all right. You're lucky I'm Church of England!" Cake or death?"

"Uh, cake please."

"Well, we're out of cake! We only had three bits and we didn't expect such a rush. So what do you want?"

"Well, so my choice is 'or death’? I’ll have the chicken then, please.

“Taste of human, sir. Would you like a white wine? There you go, thank you very much.”

“ Thank you for flying Church of England, cake or death?"

Idea for an in-team competition:
If you're able to post with an actual Izzard quote(public00 or private forum) you get a point, the one with the most points gets absolutely nothing

(Not that I have any doubt on who will win this )

"Because the Church of England had a lack of principles for a long time, it's hard to get worked up about anything. I mean, it's hard to be headstrong about things. You can't say 'you must have tea & cake with the Vicar or you DIE!' You can't have extreme points of view. Tea and cake or death! Students with beards - 'Tea and Cake or death, Tea and Cake or death, little red cookbook, little red cookbook!'"

Ok, that's from memory. Now, because I'm insane, I'm going to go check the transcript and see how close I am.

[Arrian]

Wow, not even close. My memory cut out the whole bit about Islamic jihads (I find that part slightly creepy nowadays, by the way) and the torture.

Because the Anglican faith had a lack of principles for a long time. You can't get really headstrong about it. You can't say, you know, like the Islamic jihads that we hear bout. We get scared about those Islamic jihads. I think we do assume that everyone who is into the Islamic religion is having a jihad every other bloody day. There's a lot of very relaxed Islamic people, and we got to understand - remember, this is very important - and we do assume that jihads are just like, you know, everyday three jihads are issued by every individual. It just seems they're everywhere . "The fruit shop shortchanged me! A ****ing jihad on them!" Bump into someone, say,


"Hey! A ****ing jihad on you!"

"How many jihads have you got going now, Dad?"

"Well, 24. God, it's difficult to keep up with them!"


I just don't think that's happening. But you can't do that in Church of England, you can't say, "You must have tea and cake with the Vicar, or you die!" You can't have extreme points of view, you know. The Spanish Inquisition wouldn't have worked with Church of England.


"Talk! Will you talk!"

"But it hurts!"

"Well, loosen it up a bit, will you? Fine..."


‘Cause that's what it would be. "Tea and cake or death? Tea and cake or death? Tea and cake or death!" Students with beards, ( mimes demonstrating with picket signs ) "Tea and cake or death! Tea and cake or death! Little Red Cookbook! Little Red Cookbook!"

"Hello, Swindon, I am here. Swindon, can you hear me?"

[Jamski]

I am a particularly evil giraffe, I'm sure the team could use one of those Yeah, count me in, if only for the amusement value of reading this thread.

"I'm an evil herbivore ... AHAHAHA! I shall eat all the leaves on this tree, I shall eat more leaves than I should - then other giraffes may die. AHAHAHA! I shall hide berries where no-one can see them."



You're in!

[Jamski]

Yippeeeee!

I even get the real quote as a reward. You must be getting these (and the other quotes) from a transcript though? Or should I be really scared by what you have stored in your memory?

-Jam

[FrustratedPoet]

I quoted that one from memory, but THIS SITE has the transcripts to three of Eddie's shows.

/me checks with the transcipt "y, know ... fer accuracy"

[FrustratedPoet]

text from transcipt:

“I will eat all the leaves on this tree. (mimes eating leaves) I will eat more leaves than I should… and then other giraffes may die. (evil chuckle) I am an evil herbivore!” (mimes the giraffe walk) It’s very difficult to be evil. “I will hide berries where no one can see them.” (evil chuckle)

hmm, I left out the miming references on purpose so I guess I got it about 80% right. I put the 'evil herbivore' bit in the wrong place and forgot thee 'it's very difficult...' bit.

God I'm sad.
