Write down the first thing that comes into you head when you read the word gutter.
-
Press

You like pressing things into gutters?
-
Snipe.

Clever! Notice how everyone's associations are language/phrase based rather than visual. I am sure this has something to do with the brain in some way.

There's an actress called Jennifer AGUTTER
Then Mince said "Walkabout". I saw that, and immediately remembered that Mince doesn't like football, and Sheffield Wednesday came into my head.
There is logic there, Diane!
-
Wednesday ... gives ... thirsty
-
Forgive me, but is there a point to any of this?
-
No. Should there be?
-
No, no - just asking. :-\

Since this thread is obviously random...
Tarks, I had a couple of drinks with the Beano editor tonight and he passes on his best wishes. (Note how my D.C. Thomson training forbids me to name names).
Anyway, Alan Digby passes on his best wishes.
-
Thanks, Roger, but I assure you my answers are cold, calculated and anything but random.
Next time you see him, do return my own best wishes to Diggers (I won't use his full name), or indeed any of my erstwhile DCT colleagues (it's been a long while since I was erst with any of them).
I take it my name was prompted by a discussion about the SPL teams St Johnstone have given a good drubbing to this season?
-
Beano Editor. That's a great job title. I wish I was the Beano editor. Boy, I could cause some shit.
-
I'm thinking how funny the job title sounds. Sort of imagining myself at a cocktail bar chatting up a sophisticated belle. In my best Sean Connery accent I'd say "Me? I edit the Beano. It'sh a fulthy job but shomeone hash to do it".
-
Being editor of The Beano is probably one of the world's top jobs. I can hardly think of anything else as prestigious.
"What do you do for a living?"
"I'm the Pope."
That might be one.

Surprisingly enough, I did all right with it 30 years ago, Malcolm, as a teenage sub on the Beano (and yes, I was using it as a chat-up line for girls my own age, albeit I was 'a' Beano editor and not 'THE' Beano Editor). Only lasted 18 months though before I was moved onto a new project, and telling the ladies you worked for 'Nutty' didn't quite have the same pulling power. Mind you, it could have been worse - we originally wanted to call the new comic 'Bananas'...

"What do you do for a living?"
"I'm the Pope."
Sometimes when people ask me how I come up with ideas, I don't know how best to answer because they arrive from all directions. Roger has just demonstrated one.
His quote immediately made me think of the pope sitting in a wine bar, with his Il Papa white cassock and his little white skull cap talking to a "burrd".
She's simply saying "..and what do YOU do"?
You could gild the lily and have him in complete robes with Archbishop's mitre on his head, but the original will suffice, I reckon.
Hey, here's an idea: Why don't we all draw that gag and send it to Private Eye at the same time?
-
I can't draw :-\
-
10% please, Mr McGookin.
-
I was thinking that after we had a thread about common theme cartoons in Private Eye, on the cartoonist board, Malc.
Wouldn't it puzzle Hislop if he suddenly received a host of cartoons from a variety of cartoonists, all on a completely new theme - and he didn't understand why!
-
I like Malc's idea marginally better - it saves me having to come up with a gag, and I'll happily hand over the 10% to Roger if mine's used.
I'll even draw one in a different style for Colin to submit...though obviously not s good as my own one.
Are we on?
-
10% please, Peepmaster. Then I'll pass on 10% to Roger.
I don't think we should worry about thinking a new theme up, we simply all send the Pope gag to Private Eye at an agreed time. That way, Roger's involved.
Then next month we send another gag all at the same time. Only there will be even more of us.
We'll get fed up eventually, of course.
Or will we?
