Spoilers For Friday July 15th 2011
We now arrive at the end of the week with Deeks-mania in full swing. Another very impressive performance by the distant relative of Barbara Windsor, which made actually reminded me of Windsor's episode of Who Do You Think You Are?, where there were plenty of Deekses mentioned.
Any which way, Mark is the champ, and his challenger is another new Apterite, Taymar Pitman.
Join Mike for the end-of-week recap in due course.

Re: Spoilers For Friday July 15th 2011
As Balog points out, it would be horrible to see a Deek-line today. Let's hope the D-Train stays strong.
Re: Spoilers For Friday July 15th 2011
I've gone off Deeks now, the miserable cunt. I hope Taymar tears him a new one.

Re: Spoilers For Friday July 15th 2011
Looks like Deeks himself has gone off a bit - today brought his avarage back from 104 to below 100. I am surprised he missed the one-away on the first numbers (my favourite method 25 squared, plus 9).Jon Corby wrote:I've gone off Deeks now, the miserable cunt. I hope Taymar tears him a new one.

Re: Spoilers For Friday July 15th 2011
Why has no one made a joke about Taymar making them wet?
Re: Spoilers For Friday July 15th 2011
Speaking of Taymar, she is the first female contestant all series. That shocks me that it took this long to get even one.

Re: Spoilers For Friday July 15th 2011
Yeah, and if you took away the numbers games, she scored more than Mark, so Taymar can hold her head up high.Jordan F wrote:Speaking of Taymar, she is the first female contestant all series. That shocks me that it took this long to get even one.
Interesting when Susie said she had GASEOUS in round 13, as it so sounded like GEISHAS.
ADIOSES and GAUDIES in round 13 too.
3rd Numbers Alt.: (75 x 7) + (5 x 10) - 2 - 1 = 572

Re: Spoilers For Friday July 15th 2011
I thought Susie said GEISHAS as well. Didn't even occur to me that there wasn't an H.
DIAGRIDS in R4 (which I was almost certain I'd made up, but apparently it's a kind of structure in buildings), and FRONTSIDE in R7 (spotted by having guessed FRONDIEST^ on conundrums too many times).
Good performance by both players today. Could have gone either way if Taymar had been as strong on the numbers as she was on the letters.
Edit: also, another conundrum with a clue in the scramble.

INFESTOR in the RODENTS round? Lexplorer says no.
I'm not dead yet. In a rut right now because of stress from work. I'll be back later in S89. I also plan to bring back the Mastergram - if I can find a way to run a timer or clock through pure MediaWiki without having to upload to Vimeo every time.

Re: Spoilers For Friday July 15th 2011
Just looked this game up on the wiki, and yea Deeks was a bit lucky that his opponent's numbers prowess went down the garbage Deeksposal Also @Tony -- shhhh about the 25 squared for middling targets with uncooperative smalls, that's saved my ass in numbers a lot more than it should
But yea, how is Taymar the first woman in this series? Aside from the numbers Deekasters she played well.
I'll be here as long as Deeks can keep rattling off wins. And back for the finals if he keeps this standard up. Try the waitress and make sure to tip your veal

Oh noes, haha, I thought this might happen. You do realise I was kidding, right, just kinda chucking that in after days of exalting you. I really didn't mean it.Mark Deeks wrote:We should hang out more.Jon Corby wrote:I've gone off Deeks now, the miserable cunt. I hope Taymar tears him a new one.
Anyway, has anyone ever told you that you look like a bit like Calvin Harris?

Re: Spoilers For Friday July 15th 2011
Your balls are the size of pinpricks Corby. Of all the people you can "take the piss out of" without worrying they won't get it, Mr. Mark Deeks comes pretty low on the list.
FUCK YOU DEEKS. (See, he still loves me after that.)

I was trying to find an appropriate picture to sum up Corby's post but "grovelling like a bitch" didn't have any good images from Google and the "gimp" results weren't suitable.Matt Morrison wrote:Your balls are the size of pinpricks Corby.

Re: Spoilers For Friday July 15th 2011
I didn't realise that Deeks are to Disney what Gleeks are to Glee.
Re: Spoilers For Friday July 15th 2011
Did you mean high on the list? Or is your list in reverse order? Or am I miscounting the negatives? That's a really confusing statement.Matt Morrison wrote:Your balls are the size of pinpricks Corby.

Seeing as I'm not on apterous hardly ever, I have no interaction (directly or indirectly) with Deeks. He's new to this site, he probably won't have read it or know who the hell I am and what I'm like. Just thought it was worth clearing up. I've had shitstorms develop out of similar misinterpreted jokes before, so I'm just being cautious. If that makes me a tiny balled gimp, then fair enough, talc up my shrivelled little buds and I'll zip them up in leather.

To be fair, I think he did realise you were kidding. Sort of. 23:49
Re: Spoilers For Friday July 15th 2011
Ah, I had been scouring the apterous chat logs looking for some kind of Deekal acknowledgement, but I hadn't quite made it that far. Cheers.Ryan Taylor wrote:To be fair, I think he did realise you were kidding. Sort of. 23:49
PS. I think Matt's list thing probably is the right way around, but I still actually can't be sure. I think it depends on whether "worrying that they won't get it" is actually the same as "worrying that they get it", or whether it's the opposite. I think it's the same, isn't it?
Edit: No wait, if they are the same, that does mean he's wrong, doesn't it?

Re: Spoilers For Friday July 15th 2011
No I think I got it wrong to be fair - sorry if I've sent you off in a spiral of doubting yourself.
Just to clear up, I'm still loving a bit of Deeks despite the fact that Corby absolutely hates him and keeps texting me to say so.

I got it the wrong way around, alright? Just fuck off.
I'm going to hang out with Deeks instead of you lot in the future.

Yey, you said the plan would work Jon. Finally got rid of him. Can't wait 'til he fucks off to India and has diarrhoea the whole time.
Re: Spoilers For Friday July 15th 2011
It was quite a contrived plan, wasn't it? Given that we required Deeks to string a few wins together, it had potential to go wrong if he'd lost early didn't it?Ryan Taylor wrote:Yey, you said the plan would work Jon. Finally got rid of him.

Dunno, what do you think Matt? Would we really take that risk and run with such a volatile plan? Would we?
Or was the whole Countdown team in on it too? Were all the games fixed for Deeks to win? Hey, were they even genuine contestants he was playing against, or just actors hired to be patsies? MAYBE THIS GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE TOP.

You forgot to comment on your CalvinHarrisness.
Actually, I'm not that happy that it is Calvin Harris that you remind me of, but then I've always thought that Calvin Harris really looks like someone else and never been able to pin it down. Although I also think it might be somebody I went to school or college with or something, so don't worry too much about it. But if you think Calvin Harris looks like someone else, please tell me about it here.

Everyone tells me I look like someone. Joel Przybilla, Jonathan Papelbon, Bradley from Eastenders, Will Clarke the triathlete, Edward fucking Elgar, John Arne Riise, Jean Paul Sarte, Stan Laurel, all the way to Sully from Monsters Inc. But Calvin Harris? That's a new one. Maybe slightly.
