Sam: Leen: I keep trying to wrap up what I'm doing, and it keeps not working.
ThePhan has entered.
Sam: I'm going to try to be done by 6, but we'll see. I'm trying.
Leen: Awww. That's ok.
Leen: You'd probably be sitting in traffic anyway.
ThePhan has left.
famous: I had to give up and leave work today. That was frustrating. I hate leaving something not-working on Friday.
Sam: Is it a holiday weekend or something?
Sam: famous: Yeah, :-/
ThePhan has entered.
ThePhan has left.
Sam: THEPHAN! COME B--oh.
ThePhan has entered.
Sam: NOOOOOO
[RinkChat] User ThePhan has been kicked from the room by Sam.
ThePhan has left.
Sam: hahahahahaha
ThePhan has entered.
Sam: BURN
Sam: Wait.
Leen: Sam: Columbus day weekend.
Sam: Uh?
[RinkChat] User ThePhan has been kicked from the room by Sam.
ThePhan has left.
Leen: Combined with pretty leaves and nice weather.
ThePhan has entered.
Sam: There.
Sam: Nope, I didn't get her.
Leen: We're supposed to have record highs for tourists this weekend.
ThePhan: May I come in please?
Sam: LOL
Sam: Uh, ok.
Leen: Awww.
Sam: You really looked like you were revolving there.
ThePhan: I was at first.
Leen: That was pitiful.
Sam: LOL
Sam: That's funny.
ThePhan: Actually, just before you kicked me the first time, I had left the room on purpose to rid myself of the revolving door.
Sam: For me.
Sam: Ahhh.
ThePhan: So I come back in, and you kick me.
ThePhan: Heh.
ThePhan: So I come back in again, and you kick me again.
ThePhan: So I figured I should probably explain that it appeared to be fixed.
Sam: I can kick you a third time just for good measure. You can't be too careful.
ThePhan: That's all right, but thanks.
* Maryam needs some motivation.
Sam: Maryam: DO whatever it is you need motivation for OR I WILL OR WILL NOT COME OVER TO YOUR HOUSE AND THROW EGGS AT IT, WHICHEVER YOU'D LEAST PREFER.
Sam: What is the motivation for, anyway?
Maryam: Dishes.
Maryam: I'd... ummmm... least prefer that you not throw eggs. Yeah.
Sam: Ok. Better do them, or your place is egg city.
Sam: You should put my podcats on while you're doing the dishes. THAT will motivate you.
whitehelm: Sam: She wants you to throw eggs
whitehelm: It's a double negative
ThePhan: Podcats?
Leen: least prefer not throwing eggs means most...
ThePhan: Like pod people!
Leen: yeah, what whitehelm said.
Sam: Oh.
Sam: Uhhh...
Leen: And someone stole my capitals.
iwpg: Heh, I read that as you saying that you would or would not throw eggs at the dishes.
Sam: Just do the damn dishes.
Sam: Quit confusing me.
ThePhan: Leen: I think Sam used up all your capitals when he yelled the egg thing at Maryam.
Maryam: Hehehe.
Sam: Do the dishes, or I won't let you confuse my anymore. THAT seems to be what you're most excited about these days.
Leen: hehe
Sam: *me
Sam: Stupid eggs.
Maryam: Darn, I really wanted to confuse your anymore.
Sam: I'm never using eggs in a threat again.
Sam: DO THE DISHES.
Sam: SHUT UP.
Maryam: Now you're really making want to stay here and see what you'll say next.
whitehelm: Sam: Use kicking as a threat
Sam: Well I'm going home, then.
Sam has left.
iwpg: What's this salt thing about? I think I missed it.
Randy: (Mitch Hedberg rules)
Randy: Or rather...ruled...
Kysle: Sam and I had a 'discussion' about the merits of salt. Other people joined in.
Kysle: Who's he?
Randy: A great comedian, who is now dead.
Kysle: The other thing was me always telling Ticia to put nuts in her fudge and she still hasnt. Grrr.
Randy: Google him.
Kysle: Ah.
wintermute: Sam?????
Kysle: Sam?
wintermute: Kysle: Sam.... / Kysle: Who's he? / Randy: A great comedian, who is now dead.
Randy: LOL
ThePhan: LOL
Randy: Sam died yesterday.
Randy: He left Rinkworks to Stephen and Dave.
Dave: I should totally do a podcast.
Dave: It'd be all about how much I hate you guys.
Dave: I'm sure I could keep that up for, oh, five minutes at least.
Sam: LOL
* 10Kan has never heard of praising with faint damns before.
Sam: Should be easy for a sysadmin to set up a web server with Wordpress on it, and the Podpress plugin we use for the podcast part.
Sam: You should do a podcast that has what you've been practicing on your bass guitar lately.
Sam: Five or ten minutes of random, aimless playing.
Sam: Definitely nothing you're fairly well practiced at. It should always be stuff you're just starting to fumble around with.
Sam: Then you can also release a director's commentary track. "Oh yeah, during this part, I was lying on the floor, and right when I hit that high note right there, I realized I was lying on last night's pizza box, and I totally ruined my shirt with grease and stuff.
Sam: "
Dave: Oh hell yeah.
Dave: That'd be great!
Sam: You also need a weekly blooper, where you hit the wrong note.
Dave: It'd just be fight straight minutes of painful noodling.
Sam: Do it, man.
Dave: How would I distinguish that from the non-blooper podcast, though?
Sam: Maybe that could be a contest with your readership. Spot the difference!
iwpg: Nah, the bloopers would be when you get it right.
Kysle: listenership
TalkingDog: iwpg beat.
Dave: "Here I try to play a song I only heard once. But it turns out I'm playing a different song anyway, so whatever."
Sam: Yeah!
Kysle is away.
Dave: I could play the intro to "Ace of Spades" over and over and over again. People would LOVE that. That never gets old.
Sam: Sure.
Sam: In a special two hour episode!
Dave: Hell yeah. "The first four bars of 'Ace of Spades' repeated seventy four times! Don't miss out on this two note extravaganza!!"
Dave: I know Carrie would totally love that episode. She makes it clear how much she loves me playing that intro over and over and over every time I do it!
Dave: I also used to be able to do this trick where I could sustain one note indefinitely by using the feedback from the amp.
Dave: That'd be good for at least one episode, too.
Dave: Then I could like, switch notes or something for a subsequent episode.
ThePhan: Wow. I definitely just had an "absent-minded professor joke" moment.
ThePhan: I had a handful of M&M's in one hand, and my headphones in the other, and I bit into my headphones.
(Trying to figure out why in Sam & Stephen's podcast, there's a high-pitched whining noise when Sam talks)
Dave: Oh, I found the bug.
Dave: HEre's the code snippet:
Dave: if(SAM_IS_TALKING){ whine();}
Dave: Just comment that out and recompile.
Dave: Also the fact that the player is apparently written in Perl probably doesn't help.
Sam: Dave: No, that doesn't make sense. I thought of that, but if *me* talking makes things go all wonky, it should be *triply* so when *Stephen* is talking.
Dave: But the whine() subroutine doesn't get run when he's talking. Only when you are talking. So that's the problem.
Sam: That's just not logical.
Dave: Oh, here we go.
Dave: I found another bug.
Dave: if(STEPHEN_IS_TALKING){ make_speaker_sound_intelligent(); }
(About an mp3 player)
wintermute: Also: You can download Wikipedia to it.
wintermute: Then I'd just need to paint "Don't Panic" on the case.
Stephen: The active God/free will argument has been going on for about 2000 years and we're not likely to solve it.
Stephen: And certainly Signs didn't solve it.
Sam: I bet Shyamalan's next movie will.
Sam: THEN YOU'LL CHANGE YOUR TUNE.
Dave: Then I had General Achoo's Chicken.
10Kan: General Patton's Chicken. That'd be good.
Stephen: 10K: WHOA
Stephen: GREAT IDEA
Stephen: GENERAL PATTON'S CHICKEN
Darien: Breaded chicken in NAPALM SAUCE
10Kan: Yes!
Darien: I LOVE THE SMELL OF GENERAL PATTON'S CHICKEN IN THE MORNING
Kysle: Does warm/hot water help?
ThePhan: Kysle: Not so much. Getting enough sleep tends to, though, which could be some of my problem right now. :-)
Kysle: I guess that's good
* Kysle has heard that hot tubs and stuff helps with arthritis and was wondering if you found it true, that's why he asked.
10Kan is away.
Sam: K: Probably anything like that that helps people relax helps to an extent. I wouldn't know to *what* extent, though.
ThePhan: Yeah, I haven't found that it helps much, but I am also deathly afraid of water so that could be a part of it. :-)
Sam: Seriously?
Kysle: Yeah. I know hot tubs, at least in my experience, are good to relax muscles and stuff.
Sam: That's a symptom of rabies. Maybe it's just rabies.
Sam: Do you froth at the mouth much?
ThePhan: Only on Thursdays.
Ticia: I have a phobia of getting water in my face.
ThePhan: I think I just had one too many drowning dreams as a child.
* Kysle cant imagine being afraid of water.
Sam: A classic case of bipentannual chronic rabies.
Kysle: We should sign her up for a sanitarium
ThePhan: Probably the Mutant Bugs got me.
Sam: No need. Simply hollow out a knitting needle, fill it with something, and inject it into your stomach. I'm not sure what the "something" is supposed to be, but no need to get too nitty with the details.
ThePhan: That sounds fairly simple.
ThePhan: I'm sure I can find something to inject into my stomach.
Kysle: Will you take a bath, TP?
TalkingDog: Like jelly!
Kysle: Try peanut butter. It's usually an instant cure.
Ticia: A jelly bath?
ThePhan: I do shower, but I don't bathe if I can help it.
Kysle: Mmm
* TalkingDog suddenly gets tripley confused.
ThePhan: I tried to set up a musicals message board once, but it ended up basically just being me and two of my friends. Along the way I decided to experiment with admin powers, such as changing the language filetr.
blakyoshi7: Language filet?
ThePhan: So one day I went through and changed every mention of my name to "Your Majesty" and messed with profiles and such. That was fun for about a minute watching people get mad at me for doing silly things with it. :-)
ThePhan: Filter, that is.
Randy: Nice. "You shall now have to refer to me as 'Lord'."
Kysle: I was totally thinking "file tracker"
ThePhan: I went completely nuts at one point and changed every musical theater guy's name to Michael Crawford, who was my favorite musical theater singer back then.
ThePhan: So there were all sorts of schizophrenic discussions going on.
blakyoshi7: Sweeeet.
ThePhan: "I think Michael Crawford is better than Michael Crawford, but not as cool as Michael Crawford was."
blakyoshi7: LOL
Lifeforce: LOL LOL LOL LOL LOLZ0R
ThePhan: And then their protests to me always started off, "Your Majesty! Cut it out!"
Randy: Nice.
* ThePhan is easily entertained.
Lifeforce: 1337
Kysle: TP is power hungry
ThePhan: I am, I am. Give me a bit of power and I go mad.

Sam: TP: That Eowyn story is hilarious.
ThePhan: Heh.
ThePhan: Yeah, I felt pretty stupid after all that ranting. :-)
10Kan is back.
10Kan: Ranting? Oh boy!
Sam: That has to be a real memory, just crosslinked somehow with Eowyn.
Sam: I wonder what you were actually remembering.
ThePhan: It happened later with another series, actually.
10Kan: Where is it, ThePhan?
ThePhan: 10K: Well, the story on the ranting is on AMT.
Sam: Sometimes I've had phantom memories like that. Sometimes I discover the source of my phantom memory years and years later. Like, maybe there will be some scene I think is in one movie, and all along it's in some other.
ThePhan: Er, let me clarify. I didn't find out where my thought of Eowyn's death came from. But the same thing happened later with another series.
ThePhan: There was a character in a fantasy series that we read as a family, and I definitely thought she died, and my brother argued that she didn't. We looked it up, and he was right. Again.
ThePhan: I think I just subconsciously want all the girls in fantasy novels to die.
Sam: LOL
Sam: Yeah, there's some kind of psychosis there.
10Kan: Watch some horror movies. Girls die all the time in those.
ahmoacah: Hmm... I feel like I'm in a fantasy these days. Should I be afraid? :)
10Kan: One always survies, though.
10Kan: What kind of fantasy, ahmoacah?
Sam: ahmo: No, you're fine. ThePhan will keep thinking you have died, and should have, but you'll still be ok.
ahmoacah: Well, not the swords and dragons kind.
ahmoacah: Sam: Oh, right! Whew, thanks.
ThePhan: ahmoacah?! I thought you died!
ahmoacah: LOL
ThePhan: Well, you should have died, anyway.
ahmoacah: Well, actually, that wouldn't be too out of line.
ahmoacah: Considering how randomly I'm around.
10Kan: Oh, hey, ThePhan. Please continue mercilessly mocking the MySpace luff stories.
* 10Kan is reading the gangster one now.
iwpg: Ooh, link?
TalkingDog has entered.
10Kan: It's a little way down her blog. http://www.xanga.com/quirkiness
10Kan: Hey TD!
TalkingDog: Hey, peoples!
iwpg: Hi TD.
10Kan: ('luff' = love + fluff)
ThePhan: Hey TD!
ThePhan: Heh, I jumped when I came back to the room and the link to my blog was up.
10Kan: Sorry. Should I not go around posting that?
Gahalyn: TDHUG
Gahalyn: Also hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiahmoacah!
* TalkingDog HUGS Gahalyn!
ThePhan: No, it's fine.
ThePhan: I just wasn't expecting it.
ahmoacah: Hi TD and hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiGahalyn.
* Sam leans back, gets comfy, and reads ThePhan's gangster love story.
Sam: Have I missed any of these, or have you only done these two?
10Kan: Didn't the word 'thug' originally come from the Thugees, an Indian cult who went around with silk scarves strangling people for Kali the Destroyer?
Sam: Why do people write this stuff, anyway? Where do they come from? These are the worst love stories ever, but it's not really the badness that gets me so much as the purposelessness of it.
Nyperold: 10: That's what I'd heard.
ThePhan: I think I've only done two.
* 10Kan used to write horribly bad stuff once, but he never felt compelled to share it with anybody.
RiftTraveler: I don't know Sam. it seems to have more substance than the "I love you more," " no I love you more," "No I love YOU more," conversations that 13 year olds have and think they actually KNOW what they're talking about.
10Kan: Just the opposite, in fact.
ThePhan: There was one I did a long time ago but I don't remember if I ever posted it anywhere.
Sam: I wrote funny-bad stories when I was 12, too, but they aren't this dumb.
ThePhan: The scary thing is it's not passed around just by the 13-year-olds.
ThePhan: This one was posted by a student at my college.
Nissa has entered.
RiftTraveler: 'allo, Nissa!
Nissa: Hi!
ahmoacah: Now, uhmmm... tell me, where does this stuff get posted?
10Kan: Hi Nissa!
iwpg: Hi Nissa.
Nyperold: Hello!
ThePhan: Hello Nissa!
ThePhan: ahmoacah: As a "bulletin" on MySpace, which was, you know, initially a bulletin board type thing but now it usually consists of surveys and forwards than any found in email.
RiftTraveler: lol @ Phan
ahmoacah: Oh, it's fiction?
ahmoacah: I can't tell. LOL
* RiftTraveler still uses his bulletins as actual bulletins
ThePhan: er.
* ThePhan was missing a word.
ThePhan: Forwards WORSE than any found in email.
Sam: Hey Nissa.
RiftTraveler has left.
Sam: Man. That was terrible. At least the first one had a mild semblance of a plot.
Leen: Ok, time for some grocery shopping, then to the barn.
10Kan: Yeah, and a twist ending.
Sam: Actually, that didn't exactly make it better, either.
Sam: BYE LEEEEEEEEEEN
Leen: Sam: Don't forget to come home at 5. :) Gotta hand candy out to the kiddies.
ThePhan: 10K: Actually, that first one had about four tweist endings.
Leen: Byee!
ThePhan: Bye leen!
* ThePhan's typing skills are disintegrating.
Sam: Ok.
Leen has left.
ahmoacah: First? Second? So confused.
Nyperold: You mean... they're not just taken from email and left as-is, without even editing to reflect the new medium?
ThePhan: ahmoacah: I did this one: http://www.xanga.com/quirkiness/537260873/the-myspace-forward-sporking.html as well.
Nyperold: The forwards/surveys, I mean.
ThePhan: I think most of the bulletins are written specifically for MySpace.
10Kan: You can't expect editing when there isn't even proofreading.
* Sam cries faster and faster and faster...until he can water the lawn.
ThePhan: LOL
10Kan: That's gotta be rough on the eyeballs.
Sam: You get dehydrated fast.
Nyperold: I used to see what I mentioned all the time on LJ surveys. "What do you think of the person who sent this to you?"
ahmoacah: Okay, I should probably stop reading this until I am not at work any more.
ThePhan: I think it would be cool to cry faster, not more tears, when you're sad. So if someone had one tear that went ZOOMING down their face, you would know they were very, very sad.
ahmoacah: LOL!
ahmoacah: Stop stop I'm gonna die from not actually laughing OL.
10Kan: So then the indian who cries when he sees the trash would really just be mildly annoyed.
Nyperold: "Nobody sent it to me; I just looked on my Friends page, and there it was!"
Nissa has left.
ThePhan: Nyp: Heh, yeah, I've seen that kind of thing as well.
ThePhan: MySpace has many a phenomenon I don't understand.
Sam has left.
10Kan: Like what?
ThePhan: I really don't understand the forwards where it goes, "Repost this as.... WHITE if you're single. RED if you want someone. BLUE if you're with someone. YELLOW if you just want to give up on love. (Insert about six more options.)"
ThePhan: That's ALL there is to it. It's not a story, it's not a survey, it's not news, it's... nothing.
TalkingDog: I wonder how many accounts you can steal if you put "Change your password to lovelove or everyone you know will hate you." at the end of a story.
ThePhan: LOL!
iwpg: TD: LOL
Unfortunately, I don't have the whole transcript here. I was sharing the story of my mom's mom, who worked in a GI Joe factory. Her part was to work on the chests. If they didn't speak when you pulled their string, they got tossed. Except my grandma decided to take them home, so my mom grew up playing with GI Joe chests. She and her sisters even justified why they were just chests - they were in the Amputee Ward.
Randy: LOL
TBG: Were these chests at least filled with treasure?
LaZorra: And my momo used to rag on me for playing with naked Barbies.
Chester: Cool.
* LaZorra dies laughing.
Randy: If your mom or her sisters are nurses, that would make for a great story.
ThePhan: Randy: Heh... nope, they're secretaries and teachers. But my mom does claim it explains a lot about her family.
LaZorra: The best part is that your grandma would even think to take them home.
LaZorra: It would never occur to me to bring home part of a doll.
Randy: Yeah. Shoot, they'd be worth money now. I think.
ThePhan: LOL... I know! "Of course my children would love these!"
Randy: You could build forts out of the chests.
* LaZorra is almost crying from laughter.
ThePhan: When I was two, we had no money at ALL for dolls or toys, really, so I played with walnuts.
ThePhan: Made them talk to each other and stuff.
TBG: LOL
Randy: Thats cool.
LaZorra: IT MAY LOOK LIKE A WALNUT
ThePhan: I got my entertainment where I could.
Randy: Our front porch swing was a rocket ship, a pirate ship, anything.
TBG: The Adventures of Billy and the Walnut! (TM)
LaZorra: I used to make ballerinas out of three bobby pins hung together. If you twirled the top one, the other two looked like legs pirouetting.
ThePhan: My siblings and I also made up these WEIRD story-based games that were horribly morbid.
ThePhan: One of them we played for like four years before my mom found out and told us we couldn't play it anymoer.
LaZorra: What was it?
* LaZorra finds this infinitely more interesting than her journalism paper.
ThePhan: We called it "The Queen Game."
Randy: My brother and I used to pour soap, shampoo, anything we could find in a sink and call ourselves scientists. Mom made us stop when we clogged up the sink. Again.
ThePhan: It involved at least three people: one to play the queen, one to play the guard, and one to play the prisoner.
ThePhan: If there were extras, we just had a bunch of guards.
LaZorra: Randy: LOL. My brother and I used to mix dirt and water and weeds in a wheelbarrow and call it stew.
ThePhan: It followed a pretty rigid agenda: The guards would capture the prisoner and bring them to the queen. The queen would ask a few really arbitrary questions ("What is your favorite color?") and then throw the prisoner in jail.
Randy: Nice.
ThePhan: Then the queen tried to think of the most disgusting things she could for the prisoner to eat.
ThePhan: The guard would serve the prisoner these things, and the prisoner would refuse.
ThePhan: After the third time, the queen would send the prisoner poisoned chocolate milk.
ThePhan: The prisoner would drink it, die, and then the guard would grind up the prisoner, and the guard and the queen would eat the prisoner in soup or something.
ThePhan: The End.
Randy: LOL
TBG: . . .o_O. . .
ThePhan: We were so angry when Mom said we couldn't play it anymore.
Randy: Let me guess who the queen was....
LaZorra: oooohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmygoshlololol
ThePhan: Randy: Actually, we rotated. Heh. We let the guys be queen if they wanted, too.
Chester: Ahhh, for gender equity.
ThePhan: This HAS to have affected me mentally.
TBG: Jeeze. . .I think the most risque thing I did as a kid was playing CandyLand with real candy. . .
Randy: There was a joke on Buffy the Vampire Slayer that Xander and Willow used to play doctor with Xander pretending to be sick and Willow would diagnose him. My cousins and I did the same thing. We were silly.
ThePhan: We also played a game where a wicked witch trapped every movie character we could think of inside a giant vat of chocolate pudding and then flushed them away. The game consisted of us thrashing around on the floor like we were swimming in the pudding, and then screaming as we got flushed.
ThePhan: Note, I was the oldest, so these all came out of MY head.
Randy: Wow. You rule.
TBG: Mmmm. Pudding.
* LaZorra bows, trembling, before ThePhan's head.
Randy: The fire in my parents living room was nice and toasty.
Randy: That kinda sounds like I set their house on fire.
* LaZorra, who has never had a fireplace in her house, was at first alarmed by that statement.
LaZorra: LOL
Randy: lol
Randy: Hey, it was cold sitting in that stupid deer stand waiting for the stupid deer who never came. We needed WARMTH.
Sam: I hear if you're cold in the woods, you should shoot a moose and crawl inside its carcass.
Randy: I think I am really tired and not making sense. Which is probably funny for the rest of you.
Sam: You're probably an old hand at moose-carcass-crawling-into-er.
Sam: -ing.
Randy: Sam: Seeing as how there are no moose in Louisiana, not really. I think it works for...gators?
Nyperold: Well, if there aren't any taumtaums handy.
Sam: Wait, you got COLD......in LOUISIANA??
Randy: I did nearly get attacked by a beaver once.
Sam: Did you crawl inside its carcass?
Randy: Its 43 freaking degrees out.
Sam: ooooOOOOOOOOOOoooooooooooo 43!!!
Randy: No, I let it swim on to build more dams.
Sam: You're not a real hunter.
Randy: I'm Southern. We don't like the cold.
Sam: Fake.
Sam: Faker faker faker.
Sam: A real hunter would have shot it and crawled inside its carcass.
Randy: Hey, I can handle it for the short amount of time that I'm out there.
LaZorra: Hey, it's 46 here and my toes are chilly.
Randy: Beavers are not built to handle humans inside them.
LaZorra: I'm not sure what that has to do with anything, but hey.
Randy: This is easily the best chat session I've ever had while being tired.
Sam: You wouldn't be so tired if you had taken a nap inside a beaver carcass.
Randy: LZ: But you live in California, where there is really no weather.
Stephen: There's lots of weather in California. Just nobody lives in those parts of the state.
Sam: I'm starting to suspect that for all the big hunting talk, you maybe have *never* slept inside an animal carcass.
Leen: LZ: You are sick, so you have no correct opinion at this time. ;)
LaZorra: Hey!
Randy: Well, I did sleep in a goose down sleeping bag. Does that count?
Leen: Weather-wise, that is.
Sam: I KNEW IT! YOU'RE A FRAUD!
LaZorra: Ah.
Sam: A FAKER! AN IMPOSTOR! A MAROON!
Leen: Or rather, temp-wise.
LaZorra: Sometimes I wonder if I ever have a correct opinion.
* Randy gives up
LaZorra: Or if I'm just perpetually sick. In the head.
Sam: RANDY IS REALLY A BLEEDING HEART LIBERAL!
Randy: You're right. I really am a vegitarian.
Leen: It is going to rain here all week. *sigh*
LaZorra: A MAROON
Sam: RUN BACK TO PETA, LITTLE BOY!
Randy: I support PETA.
Randy: LOL
Sam: I THINK THEY NEED YOU TO FIX A PIGEON'S BROKEN WING.
LaZorra: PETA: People for the Eating of Tasty Animals.
Randy: I was not hunting deer today. I was photgraphing them for National Geographic.
Sam: LaZ: SHHHH, DON'T TELL RANDY THAT. HE'LL REPORT YOU TO THE CABINET OF WUSSES FOR THE ENVIRONMENT.
Kysle: Oh. So that's what it stands for. I am so joining.
* LaZorra once killed a deer in Reno, just to watch him die.
* Randy takes notes...
LaZorra: Sam: OH NOES THEY WILL SEND THE ENTIRE US GOVERNMENT AFTER ME
Sam: LaZ: I bet YOU crawled inside its carcass.
ThePhan: Once when I was five, my best friend and I traumatized my sister by killing a ladybug in front of her.
Sam: You're hardcore.
Sam: TP: Did you crawl inside its carcass?
ThePhan: We told her it was sick and needed to be put to sleep. And then we squished it.
Randy: I wish I was as cool as LaZorra.
LaZorra: Dude, it was RENO. It was fricking hot.
Sam: Oh.
Sam: Well, I suppose it's enough that you *would* have.
ThePhan: Sam: No, because we got in trouble for making my sister cry and our moms made us come inside.
LaZorra: I dug a hole in the ground and crawled inside THAT.
Sam: And, of course, it was hot in Louisiana, too, but Randy thinks 43 is something to shiver at.
Sam: So he should have crawled inside a carcass.
LaZorra: TP: THAT RULES
Randy: Reno's not that hot. Compared to the hell that is Las Vegas. Or here in August.
Sam: TP: Bummer.
LaZorra: True, but it's still too hot to need to crawl inside a dead animal.
Randy: Good point.
iwpg: TP: LOL
Stephen: Nonsense.
Stephen: It's never too hot to crawl inside dead things.
Randy: TP: I worry about your younger siblings sometimes...
Leen: o.0
ThePhan: Randy: Heh... THEY'RE all perfectly normal. I didn't mess them up too badly.
Nyperold: 59 is something to shiver at.
* Kysle is getting a little freaked out by the conversation
LaZorra: Stephen: Now that's hardcore.
Leen: Yeah, we've been enjoying the nice florida weather here.
LaZorra: Kysle: Oh, this is nothing.
* ThePhan read this conversation aloud to her sister (the traumatized one, actually) and kept pronouncing Louisiana with an "ah-nah" sound at the end.
Leen: My bro finally made it to florida on his boat, only to find out it was the same temp here. HAHA
LaZorra: Wait until we get around to licking each other's brains, and then you can be freaked out.
Randy: There is only one good thing about the cold: The possibilty of snow.
Sam: Yeah, I hear the snow in Louisiana is just brutal.
Leen: IT WILL NOT SNOW HERE THIS YEAR
* LaZorra doesn't mind cold unless she has to sleep in it.
Leen: SO DON'T MENTION SHOW
Stephen: It was 85 degrees here last week.
Leen: *SNOW
Stephen: I'm not exaggerating a bit.
LaZorra: Like camping sleep in it.
Randy: I said possibility. It happens...once every 4 or 5 years.
Leen: It's been in the 60's here, which is equally as amazing.
Kysle: LaZ: If you can lick your own brain, I will freak out.
Sam: Kysle, sheesh.
Sam: We don't lick our *own* brains.
Sam: We lick each *other's*.
Leen: It snowed where I was last weekend, and I came home to 60's.
Stephen: Speak for yourself.
Leen: Crazy.
Stephen: *I* lick my own brain.
Randy: TP: I cannot even begin to tell you how wrong it is to pronounce it that way.
Stephen: It tastest like... like victory!
Sam: Except for Stephen.
* LaZorra would like some snow.
* Sam crawls inside Stephen's dead carcass.
ThePhan: It was supposed to snow two inches last week. No snow on the ground, though, so we decided the prediction was REALLY just that the snow would travel two inches down from the sky, and then stop.
LaZorra: Yes, but we all know that Stephen is already Practically Perfect in Every Way Except He Can Lick His Own Brain.
Stephen: Get out of there, Sam!
Stephen: I need that.
Randy: My last winter in Vegas it snowed and stuck around for a while.
ThePhan: If Stephen can lick his own brain, can he also crawl inside his own dead carcass?
Randy: That would RULE
LaZorra: Now THAT would be a cool party trick.
LaZorra: But it would be kind of crowded with both him and Sam in there.
Kysle: A zipper would help. Do you need help installing one, Stephen? I know just the person
* LaZorra has missed this side of RC, can you tell?
Sam: One time I died. But I just crawled inside my own carcass, and nobody's picked up on it yet.
Randy: Rinkchat rules when we're all crazy.
Leen: I love how everybody always wants snow, but they never think about how much it really sucks to shovel it.
Leen: And how freezing it is, and how hard it is to drive in snow, and how much it ruins plans and such.
Nyperold: We could have a cerebrospinal fluid tasting contest.
Leen: There's a reason show season ends early november, and doesn't start again until April. ;)
Randy: Leen: Yeah, but you can also build snow forts and blast people with snowballs.
Kysle: Nyp: We'd make a lot more money if we sold it
Leen: That's only if you get the sticky snow, which is the absolute WORST to shovel.
Randy: My cerebrospinal fluid tastes like chicken.
LaZorra: Leen: Like I told a certain someone once, the only reason I like snow is because I don't live in it.
Nyperold: Yeah, but we'd need to get a Liquor cerebrospinalis license.
Leen: Mmmhmm.
Sam: Ideally, I'd live somewhere where the snow is as brutal and furious as where we live now, but only for one month of the year.
Sam: Instead of, you know, five.
Leen: I'd probably like it too if I didn't have to deal with it. ;)
* Randy finds LaZorra's statement to equal true.
Sam: But I don't hate it nearly as much as Leen does.
LaZorra: Although I'm getting to the point where I'm absolutely fed up with the summers being as hot as they are. I'd like to swap them for cold winters for a while.
Leen: I detest it.
Leen: But then I've lived with it my whole life.
LaZorra: Leen: You mean, "UH-HUH," of course.
Sam: UH-HUH.
LaZorra: Not "Mmmhmm."
Leen: heheh
Kysle: Nyp: I know this guy that could forge us one. But, we'd probably have to give him a, uh, 'personal' taste
Stephen: Snow is best visited, not lived in.
Sam: Ennybody wanna crawl inside a fried bananer?
Stephen: UH HUH
Sam: UH HUH
* LaZorra cracks up.
Nyperold: No, not the Diet Pepsi commercial!'
Randy: UH HUH
(Finishing NaNo)
ThePhan: THREE WORDS LEFT!
wintermute: TP: "In conclusion: MURDER!"
Dave: THE FREAKING END
10Kan: LOL
wintermute: "They all died".
ThePhan: My last three words are...
ThePhan: "There they are."
ThePhan: With full intentions of actually finishing the story over the next couple days.
Dave: "Wizards did it"
wintermute: LOL, Dave.
wintermute: "I woke up."
Dave: Oooh, that's a good one.
Dave: "The universe ended"
wintermute: Best ever.
ThePhan: Uh!
ThePhan: The NaNoWriMo validator thinks I've only got 49,998 words so now I have to write two more words.
ThePhan: It's TOO MUCH WORK!
ThePhan: Okay, I'm going with, "Oh no, there they are."
wintermute: "I hate writing"
Dave: "Sadly, the universe ended abruptly"
wintermute: "It was all a dream"
Leen: The End.
ThePhan: I WIN!
ThePhan: Or, wait, I did that wrong.
ThePhan: I'M WINNING!
Eric: "That's why I shot him."
Dave: Hehehe
wintermute: "Suddenly, there were tigers!
Dave: "And now you know everything"
wintermute: Man, I need to end a book with "Suddenly, there were tigers!"
Dave: ThePhan: Were two of your words not real words or something, so they didn't count?
* ThePhan will make that her goal for next year.
Dave: Did you try to use disirregardless?
ThePhan: Dave: Sometimes there are funky discrepancies, usually involving punctuation, like counting a hyphen as a separate word, or counting "I'm...dead" as one word instead of two.
10Kan: Well, you couldn't have finished the novel without sticktuitiveness.
Dave: Huh
Dave: Stupid word counters.
Dave: You might have 50,001 words there, and have been totally cheated out of the effort of coming up with two extra words.
ThePhan: My brothers are watching The Prince of Egypt. My nine-year-old brother keeps pausing the explain the movie to his younger brothers, except he keeps calling the Hebrews "Hyrulians" (or however that's spelled).
ThePhan: Pausing *to* explain, that is.
Randy: LOL
TalkingDog: What on Earth? Where does Hyrule fit into it?
Sam: HyRULE!
ThePhan: Just wait until the princess finds baby Link in the water.
Randy: Does he lead them over the Red Sea with the grappling hook?
BuzzBot: Kysle has been given a buzzword.
.
.
.
BuzzBot: Time's up! No score. The buzzword was absent.
gremlinn: Nice clue.
BuzzBot: Nyperold has been given a buzzword.
Nyperold: Erik's deformity is hidden by this.
ThePhan: mask
gremlinn: hair
BuzzBot: ThePhan guesses mask and is correct! ThePhan and Nyperold each get a point.
ThePhan: mask mask mask mask mask
LaZorra: hehe
gremlinn: I don't know Erik.
ThePhan: LOL
Randy: Of course you'd get it.
ThePhan: Erik is the Phantom of the Opera.
Randy: heh
LaZorra: TP *would* get that one.
LaZorra: Baked potatoes!
LaZorra is away.
TalkingDog has left.
Randy: Either sheis going to eat some baked potatoes, or this is an odd form or internet tag.
Sam: I vote the latter. It's more fun.
Sam: Pork fried rice!
Sam is away.
Nyperold: BAKED POTATOES ARE ATTACKING
Randy: Chimichangas!
Randy is away.
Kysle: ...
Kysle: I don't like Chimichangas
ThePhan has entered.
Kysle: Hi, again, TP!
Randy: Hey TP!
ThePhan: Hello, hello.
Sam: Hi. You have to say a food and go /away.
ThePhan: Jalapeno poppers!
ThePhan is away.
ThePhan: Which is what I'm randomly craving.
Randy: Nice one.
LaZorra: Hrmph. There was something I needed to ask Sam, and I cannot for the life of me remember what it was now.
Leen: You wanted to ask if you could have permission to wrok this evening.
Leen: Yes, you may.
Leen: Oh, I'm Leen.
LaZorra: hehe
Sam: There.
Leen: Hey!
Sam: Ahem.
LaZorra: LOL
Sam: You wanted to ask if you could have permission to wrok this evening.
Sam: Yes, you may.
ThePhan: Heh.
Randy: Sam Rules
Gharlane: LOL
Gharlane: :)
LaZorra: Sam: Gee, thanks. :-P
Ticia: We're just talking about movies.
-Destiny-: Cool! What kind??
Ticia: Kevin Costner, mostly.
ThePhan: All those Kevin Costner classics.
Nyperold: So hey, how about that Italian Neo-Realism, huh?
Sam: I like the way the Italian Neo-Realists spoke to the oppression of the lower classes, and how, in times of economic recession, the government and the upper classes abandon the poor to their own devices. If we are only charitable in times of prosperity, directors such as Vittorio de Sica and Luchino Visconti argue, is that actually helpful?
Sam: With Waterworld, Kevin Costner defines a new genre, Neo-Neo-American Realism. Costner imagines a realistic future, where environmental disregard goes unchecked and results in a world where the rich prey off the poor.
Sam: By blowing people up with power boats.
-Destiny- has left.
Nyperold: Ah, indeed, indeed.
Sam: Destiny! Come back! Dont' you like Kevin Costner!?
Ticia: "such a classic and will offer great advice because i plan to have 10 kids"
Ticia: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
LaZorra: !!!
Maryam: Ticia: Ack!
Eric: may GOD help you in the long run!!
* TalkingDog prays that's binary.
wintermute: Mighty Joe Young: "this was a actual good original movie because it is TOTALLY different from king kong"
wintermute: Do you have any idea how long I've been waiting for a movie that's different from King Kong?
LaZorra: I suppose I should help Mom warp stuff.
Leen: hahaha
LaZorra: Durr -- make that WRAP stuff.
Gharlane: LOL
Randy: hehe
Maryam: Warping stuff sounds so much more fun.
* LaZorra slaps her forehead. Brains = all gone.
ThePhan: LOL
LaZorra: Doesn't it, though?
* ThePhan made her family pause the movie so she could tell them that.
LaZorra: LOL
Randy: All those finals. At the end of the semester I would just tip my head over and let it all fall out.
Leen: hehe
LaZorra: I really don't like wrapping things. It's just going to be torn apart in a couple of days, anyway!
Sam: Warp them inside the paper.
LaZorra: Randy: Yeah, sometimes I think a wheel of Swiss cheese would be jealous of my brain.
LaZorra: Sam: Oooh, good idea.
Leen: I am almost all warped.
* Randy is wrapping the few presents he's giving in the newspaper.
LaZorra: hehe
Leen: Just a few more peasants to go.
ThePhan: Hehehe.
Gharlane: LOL
LaZorra: LOL
Randy: LOL!
* Gharlane cracks up
LaZorra: Warp those peasants!
Sam: I want to know why a knight extraordinary doesn't allow you to call yourself sir.
Sam: If you're a knight extraordinary that lives (or moves back) to the United States, we have a little thing called free speech here.
Dave: Well, that rots.
Sam: Heck, I can call myself sir right now if I want.
Sam: I don't need no stinkin' knight extraordinary.
Dave: You so can't
Sam: Can too.
Sam: Watch me:
Dave: You'll get busted by the International British Sir Police if you tyr.
wintermute: That is, you can buy a 10-square-foot patch of Scotland that would allow yourself to call "The Baron of Mugglewump", but it won't have any real meaning.
Sam: I dub myself May I please ask what is happening here? Sam.
Sam: Uhhh.
Sam: Ok, maybe I can't.
Dave: LOL
LaZorra: LOLOLO
ThePhan: LOL
Dave: See?
Dave: It doesn't WORK
LaZorra: *L
Dave: They busted you.
Sam: Friggin' Brits.
(while Nyp was watching Phantom of the Opera, which has 666 as the chandelier's auction number)
Nyperold: Interesting lot number on the chandelier.
10Kan: Yeah, but I think it'd be pretty hard to attach an entire chandelier to one's forehead or hand, so the world is safe for the moment.
Henry: Granted, when something does arrive that can place a chandelier as such on their forehead, we're pretty screwed anyway.
[about Dr. Zhivago]
Gharlane: That one's good, but kind of depressing, at least that was my impression.
Gharlane: The original, that is, with Omar Sharif.
ThePhan: Oh, good. I tend to like depressing.
Gharlane: Done by David Lean - it's very well filmed. Stephen would probably recommend watching it on a real theatre screen, hehe.
ThePhan: Heh. Probably. But I think he recommends EVERYTHING watched on a real theatre screen.
Mia: Gharlane: Do you mean "Doon" by David Lynch?
Mia: Er.
Mia: Dune
Gharlane: Mia: No, That's "Dune", hehe, and I didn't particularly care for it.
Mia: Yeah, neither did he. I just asked him if he would recommend people watch Done by David Lean on the big screen, and he had no idea what I was talking about.
Nyperold: Heh. Well, the version I saw wasn't that optimistic, either... except before the revolution came.
Gharlane: That's what I get for inverting my sentence structure, heh.
ThePhan: Hehe.
Mia: Ohhhh. Lol.
Mia: I get it now.
TalkingDog: How many times does Vader actually say "complete" in the movies? It had to happen often enough to plant that association in my head, but I can't remember any specific time...
ThePhan: He says stuff about like training not being complete, doesn't he?
* ThePhan hasn't watched them in a while, though. She may be making that up.
TalkingDog: Something like that, yeah.
Randy: In Return of the Jedi he takes Luke's lightsaber and tells him his training is complete.
iwpg: Hmm. I see what you mean about "complete" sounding Vaderish, although I can't think of a specific time either.
ThePhan: Aha. And "Join me, and I will complete your training," according to this page.
ThePhan: "The circle is now complete. When I met you I was but the learner. Now, *I* am the master."
Nyperold: "Only a master of evil."
iwpg: Maybe it's partly because the word itself is kinda dramatic.
TalkingDog: Maybe.
iwpg: I don't think it would have such an effect if it was, say, "finished".
* ThePhan gots a silly mental image now of Vader using the word "complete" as many times as he can as he threatens Luke.
TalkingDog: LOL
ThePhan: "I am complete. You are not complete. I will complete your death. Then my revenge will be complete."
Randy: LOL
ThePhan: Not quite as gripping as far as dialogue goes.
TalkingDog: That is hilarious.
Ticia has entered.
Revan: Hi, Ticia.
ThePhan: Hello Ticia!
Ticia: Hell!
Ticia: Erm
Ticia: LOL
Ticia: HELLO
Revan: LOL
Revan: You have caused me to snort root beer all over my desk.
ThePhan: LOL
Ticia: My o key got stuck there or something.
ThePhan: Ticia's in a vicious mood today.
Ticia: I am not! That was a completely accident.
Ticia: Seriously.
ThePhan: Heh, the other day we were driving to church, and my sister was writing stuff on the frosty window with her finger.
ThePhan: She started writing "HELLO" but ran out of room.
Ticia: TP: LOL LOL LOL
ThePhan: So she erased it really fast because she figured it wasn't a great idea to show up to church with "HELL" written on our windows.
Gharlane: LOL
MatchBot: Now vote for the noun that best fits the adjective powerful. (You can't vote for yourself.)
MatchBot: Vote 4 for ThePhan's personality.
MatchBot: Vote 5 for ThePhan's family.
ThePhan: Huh. Apparently I just exude power.
Sam: I felt threatened at the RU.
Sam: I was tempted to just let you take over.
WhizKid: Nyperold's.
ThePhan: wk: Nyperold's what?
Sam: Dont' finish that sentence.
WhizKid: ThePhan: betroth Nyperold.
gremlinn: Heh.

WhizKid: gremlinn: dismember ThePhan.

Sam: WK really has it out for you.
ThePhan: WhizKid HATES me.
Nyperold: wk: Not my betrothed!
WhizKid: Nyperold: You can't ransom vballgirl's cars.
WhizKid: ThePhan: You are so grand!
Nyperold: (Kidding, of course.)
gremlinn: Oh, now that he knows we're onto him.
Sam: He's probably about to say "A grand JERK, hahahahaha, burn."
MatchBot: Now vote for the noun that best fits the adjective inappropriate. (You can't vote for yourself.)
MatchBot: Vote 6 for WhizKid's first kiss.
Sam: WhizKid's first kiss was probably with eleven rutabagas.
WhizKid: ThePhan: Give me eighty ribs!
ThePhan: wk: Not after the way you've treated me.
Sam: Yeah. We loaned women a rib, and by now, with interest compounded annually, you owe us about 80.
WhizKid: ThePhan: Let's share thirty fiestas!
LaZorra: wk: I had no idea you were such a party animal.
WhizKid: LaZorra: Give me ThePhan's dream!
ThePhan: wk: Ahem. You don't want my dreams. They're weird.
WhizKid: ThePhan's grand.
10Kan: There's got to be some sort of secret /stalk command for whizkid that's making him focus on ThePhan.
WhizKid: 10Kan: You are so sanguine.
WhizKid: ThePhan: Give me sixty salts.
ThePhan: 10K: Earlier he was terribly, terribly nasty to me.
WhizKid: ThePhan: I like you when you're quiet!
Sam: LOL
10Kan: LOL
Randy: Oooh. Mean wiked naught WhizKid.
ThePhan: LOL!
gremlinn: wk: trying to silence the truth?
Sam: That was WhizKid's version of "shot op."
WhizKid: gremlinn: I forgot how to offend adversely.
WhizKid: ThePhan: Don't be like her lamp.
ThePhan: wk: I'll try not to be.
WhizKid: ThePhan: Let's salivate sensibly.
10Kan: GET A ROOM, YOU TWO!
ThePhan: wk: You're scaring 10Kan. Now stop it.
WhizKid: ThePhan quips.
(About halfway through a story about a "damp, dank creature" which turned out to be a lion)
StoryBot: vballgirl continues the story. The story so far: ...hurt, of course, because he was wearing a pair of special paw protectors, but still, it couldn't HUNT now. It had to beg the question: just how Could he attract prey to his hungry maw He decided the best
gremlinn: Oh, it's Aslan.
Nyperold: Aslan's dank?
gremlinn: He's the only capitalized lion that I know of.
10Kan: Word.
gremlinn: Oh, that was supposed to be a new sentence or something.
ThePhan: I think I missed the bit in the books where Aslan needed his mother to kiss his claws tenderly while reattaching them to him.
iwpg: LOL
gremlinn: This was in the old days, before he was wise.
10Kan: Great, now you've got me thinking of a teenage Aslan.
10Kan: "Geez mom, I'm not a *tame* lion, y'know!"

iwpg: Ohhhhhh.
Randy: That's great
Sam: One of us might have said "shelf" and gotten it.
ThePhan: LOL!
vballgirl: Trying for shelf?
iwpg: Sam: heh.
Zup: Totally, totally wrong train of thought.
gremlinn: Sam: that'd have been great.
Nyperold: High elf.
Sam: vball: No, elf. High elf, light elf, dark elf, etc.
Randy: Those are all types of elves.
Sam: But we were pretty close to shelf.
vballgirl: Sam: Right, wanted us to say shelf to get elf.
Sam: vball: No, she was going for "elf." Proximity to "shelf" was an accident.
flyingcats: No, I was going for elf.
flyingcats: Shelf would have been lucky.
Sam: I forgot to say so, though, but yeah, no guessing before the clue's given.

* LaZorra nearly chokes on her enchilada at Sam.
Sam: The transcript will prove it.
(about a list of users who had signed up to be in the bot tournament)
Randy: Who is "Scruffy"?
gremlinn: Who's Scruffy looking?
ThePhan: LOL! I was trying to get to Facebook, but I've clearly been in here too long, because I typed "FaceBot."
Sam: Sorry for making fun of you and your grey eyes claim.
Sam: I actually have purple eyes, which is just as outrageous.
Sam: Here is incontrovertible proof. http://www.rinkworks.com/rinkchat/eyes.png I have a purple tongue, too, to match, but that's probably because I had just eaten a grape popsicle. My tongue is normally green.
Kysle: LOL
* ThePhan has hazel eyes. Yech. Unpleasant mix of brown and green.
ThePhan: Hehe.
LaZorra: Sam: Yes, and you've also photoshopped your beard off. :-p
Kysle: My eyes change color.
Sam: Yes, but that was only so you could see my purple tongue more clearly.
Note from Hannah: Er, I do indeed realize that picture is not likely going to be on the RinkWorks site forever. Heh. In case of its disappearance, it was a picture of Sam with, er, sort of glowing purple eyes. Not photoshopped at ALL, oh, no.
WhizKid: Nyperold bites.
WhizKid: I EET YOR HED
MatchBot: Now vote for the noun that best fits the adjective hot. (You can't vote for yourself.)
MatchBot: Crystal109 wins 0 points for Abraham Lincoln.
MatchBot: WhizKid wins 0 points for belly button lint.
* Crystal109 can't believe she put down Abe Lincoln.
LaZorra: Abraham Lincoln is about as hot as bellybutton lint.
wintermute: Crystal: I hear he was quite the pin-up in his youth...
Ticia: Ooooh! Seth video. Cool.
* Ticia waits for it to load.
wintermute has entered.
10Kan: Hi wintermute!
ThePhan: Hey wm.
wintermute: It is the me!
Ticia: He's a cutie, TP.
axcolton: Nice kid.
wintermute: Yes, I am.
ThePhan: LOL
axcolton: I'm draggin' myself around and I'm pretty sure that I hacked up a lung about an hour ago.
10Kan: That's why you've got two of 'em.
wintermute: Do you really need lungs?
axcolton: For intaking oxygen...yes, I think so.
ThePhan: Only if you like breathing.
wintermute: Oxygen is for losers.
ThePhan: If you don't really care about all that, then, no, you probably don't need them. It's a personal preference thing.
axcolton: I've always considered the fact that if the people at Ambercrombie said that breathing wasn't cool, then one-fourth of the world would be dead.
10Kan: Now that we have the internet and texting, we don't have to speak to one another anymore, so there's one lung function that's outdated.
Nyperold: ax: And I'd be overoxygenated.
axcolton: John Wayne had one of his lungs clipped out and kept acting.
10Kan: He's still a lung-addict. Do you think the Duke could've made it as a mime? No way.
wintermute: Who cares about mimes?
axcolton: Billy the Mime's pretty good.
axcolton: He was on The Aristocrats.
ThePhan: Heh. I thought you said The Aristocats at first, which is a Disney cartoon. Generally mimes don't do voiceovers.
axcolton: No, Billy acted the joke out, and...well...it's hard to explain and pretty graphic.
10Kan: What about that all-mime band, Memorex? They don't play live anymore, but I hear they're still selling well.
10Kan: Dogs always look more intelligent when they cross their front legs.
gremlinn: Or when they wear spectacles.
Randy: He looks like a good wrestle in the yard dog.
10Kan: Right. Or when they smoke.
Sam: Or when they're doing long division on the board.
gremlinn: In a top hat.
Randy: Or solving crimes.
gremlinn: On stilts.
10Kan: Or when they're rescuing Timmy from the well.
DemanusFlint: Blah, my laptop's making a depressing whining sound.
Sam: Cheer it up.
DemanusFlint: How can I run a diagnosis on it?
DemanusFlint: Isn't there something in the setup menu?
Sam: I think you have to download some kind of mood icon software.
Sam: Probably what you need to do though, is buy it a friend.
Sam: Another laptop -- of equal power, so it doesn't get an inferiority complex -- so they can hang out together.
Sam: Hook them up to an ethernet hub, and watch the blinky light go as they talk to each other.
Sam: Computer conversation is pretty boring, though. Mostly it's just, "Are you there?" / "Yup." / "Are you still there?" / "Yup." / "Are you still there?" / "Yup."
Sam: But it keeps them happy.
Sam: Hey, yeah, how come like *nobody* has emailed me asking to have me restore their subscription services?
Ciaran: Mine had, like, less than a month to go. I think.
Sam: Well, all of you send me a memo with what you think was the end date of the subscription.
GrimbleGromble: whoops
gremlinn: November 12, 3650, I think.
Ticia: LOL
Zup: Mine was life and a day subscription, pretty sure.
Zup: So I can get that extra day in case I become a Zombie or somthing.
gremlinn: Ah, afterlife insurance.
Sam: If it ended then, then I didn't get the $58,950.84 you'd have owed me.
* Ticia bets that's the actual amount.
Sam: Ticia bets correctly.
Ticia: Geek.
Sam: Actually, I gave him about 9 months free, but if you buy 1643 years in advance, a discount is the least I can do.
(About K)
Sam: In the now infamous West Lebanon, there really is a Samuel Stoddard that lives there. Not a relation.
Sam: As far as I know, there are three in New Hampshire. One is me, and one is my father. He had to pick the other one.
Sam: Subsequent to all that, we were in West Lebanon for some reason. We ate at a Friendly's there.
Ticia: Hehe
Sam: And I passed the Marriott.
Ciaran: Sam: Oh noes! Did you get murdered?
Sam: Ci: No, but maybe that other Sam Stoddard did.
Randy: I tried to make a joke that the K in my old username fell off and went crazy, but no one ever laughed.
Sam: If memory serves, I had Leen stop at the Marriott, and I went in to ask directions to somewhere. Don't even remember if I had needed to. I just wanted to go to the Marriott.
ThePhan: LOL
LaZorra: LOL LOL
Ticia: We should have an RU there.
LetterBot: Sam wins 7 points for Basics: (1) Babes. (2) Abs. (3) Bibs?
Sam: Ok, now that you all voted for it, can any of you tell me what it actually means?
Crystal109: LOL.
Nyperold: No,
Ticia: Keg parties?
Kysle: Nice, grem!
LaZorra: Babes with abs get married and have kids.
Ticia: We should play RWSoDE in this tournament.
Ticia: Ready... CLEAN
LaZorra: Ticia: LOL LOL
Zup: LOL
Randy: hehe
Sam: Ti: Everybody starts at 30, and the game ends when someone reaches 0 by talking during work time and getting scolded by the bot.
StateBot: Claimed answer: 1959 (LuckyWizard)
LaZorra: My mom was born that weird.
LaZorra: Er, that YEAR.
StateBot: Question (use /b): What is/are the state tree(s) of Mississippi? (1 answer)
StateBot: Claimed answer: Magnolia (Kysle, Randy)
StateBot: Scores this round: Kysle: +1, Randy: +1.
Kysle: Same flower as tree
Randy: It's a tree and a flower!
gremlinn: Randy: you sound like Kysle's infomercials.
Sam: LOL
Randy: grem: Suck a sword!

diordna has entered.
Ticia: Hello
Gharlane: Hi there.
10Kan: Hey, dio.
diordna: hello
Ticia: First time in Rinkchat?
diordna: Whoa, you people use capitalization here! I'M FREE!!!
Ticia: Heh, yes, we're rather fond of it, actually.
10Kan: Oh, lots of places use caps, we just don't use it all the time.
diordna: Probably not, but it's the first time in at least a year.
Ticia: Well, welcome back, then. :)
10Kan: What's happened in the intervening year?
diordna has left.
10Kan: Seeya next year!
ThePhan: We just caught a mouse in one of our many mousetraps around the house, but it was still alive. Seth's practical idea was that we get a cannon and shoot it with a cannon.
ThePhan: I think we disappointed him when we told him we didn't have a cannon we could get our hands on easily.
Sam: I'd be disappointed too.
Sam: Shoot it with a cannon, or shoot it out of a cannon? Either way sounds like fun.
ThePhan: Heh. Shoot it with a cannon, to kill it.
ThePhan: Catching it in a mousetrap and then shooting it out of a cannon would not be particularly kind treatment of the animal.
Sam: Hey, you never know. Maybe that particular mouse always wanted to fly before it died.
Ticia: LOL. Rose just asked me if I wanted to go to "The wedding party" ... "But you have to wear pretty clothes, and we have to weigh you. If you're medium you can come. And you are medium, Mom, so you can come."
Ticia: "And I'm medium and Abby is medium and Joseph is medium, so they can all come. But Daddy is not medium, so he can't come."
Ticia: So I asked what Daddy was. "He's BIG."
asterismW: It's a good thing you're medium.
Ticia: I find it amusing that my 9 month old is also considered "Medium"
