(02:33:25) proctorg76: the kind that converts my time into money
(02:33:53) Katherine MC: most of them do that.
(02:33:59) proctorg76: awesome
(02:34:08) Katherine MC: I'd advise against food industry though.
(02:34:23) proctorg76: I'll be sure to keep that in mind
(02:36:27) proctorg76: hmm
(02:36:38) proctorg76: the Fox channel in charlotte is starting to worry me
(02:37:22) proctorg76: they suspended their weather guy for a month a while back because he was completely insane and often got so involved in some crazy stunt or other that he'd actually forget to do the weather report
(02:37:35) proctorg76: when he got back, they gave him his own show
(02:37:44) proctorg76: and now it's the highest rated thing in the city
(02:37:50) Katherine MC: ROFL
(02:41:44) proctorg76: I'm sure the cable company here hates the FCC
(02:42:13) proctorg76: there's a rule that they have to carry every local station that can be picked up at such-and-such a clarity with a regular antenna
(02:42:14) Katherine MC: Time Warner, right?
(02:42:18) proctorg76: Adelphia
(02:42:20) proctorg76: they really suck
(02:42:26) proctorg76: but
(02:42:34) proctorg76: they have to carry all the charlotte stations
(02:42:38) proctorg76: and all the florence stations
(02:42:42) proctorg76: and all the columbia stations
(02:43:34) proctorg76: so they're running something like 25 channels of unprofitable quasi-local programming
(02:44:22) Katherine MC: oh no.
Talk about bad location.
(02:46:46) proctorg76: yeah, it's like we're in the middle of a rectangle with charlotte, columbia and fayetteville at the corners
(02:47:05) Katherine MC: so you know what's happening on everywhere around you.
(02:48:15) proctorg76: yeah, most of the gas stations have both newspapers
(02:48:31) proctorg76: but, it's an hour drive to the nearest movie theater
(02:48:50) Katherine MC: how much for gas where you are?
(02:48:59) proctorg76: 1.85
(02:49:02) proctorg76: not that I care
(02:49:17) Katherine MC: ouch!
(02:49:20) Katherine MC: 189 here.
(02:49:38) proctorg76: Diesel is the way to go
(02:50:18) proctorg76: not only because it's about 30 cents less, but also because if it starts getting too expensive, it's pretty easy to alter a diesel engine to run on used cooking oil
(02:51:07) Katherine MC: LOL
(02:51:25) Katherine MC: but how much used cooking oil does it take to go a mile?
(02:52:30) proctorg76: hm
(02:53:47) proctorg76: veggievan.org claims about 25 MPG
(02:54:19) Katherine MC: veggievan? gotta love that name.
(02:54:19) proctorg76: but they're messing with the grease to make it run in a standard engine
(03:09:46) proctorg76: hi
(03:10:01) Katherine MC: I'm still here.
(03:11:07) proctorg76: whee!
(03:11:59) Katherine MC: I was just getting the info together to have that professor separated into two professors.
(03:12:05) Katherine MC: Boring!
(03:13:42) proctorg76: I've been reading Gary Powers' autobiography
(03:13:48) proctorg76: soviet prisons are also boring
(03:15:18) Katherine MC: I bet. Why read it?
(03:15:44) proctorg76: because I'm at my grandma's house, and it's the only book handy
(03:17:49) Katherine MC: you must be desparate
(03:18:14) proctorg76: yeah
(03:41:33) proctorg76: so, what do you think about the prisoner abuse scandal?
(03:41:48) Katherine MC: I'm not surprised.
(03:42:03) proctorg76: I"ve been watching some of the hearings on C-SPAN
(03:42:26) proctorg76: and once again John McCain has proven himself to be the most valuable person in the country
(03:42:47) Katherine MC: I haven't paid enough attention to it...
(03:44:28) proctorg76: well, the first day they were doing it he asked the simple question of "were they ordered to, and who was in their chain of command?"
(03:44:52) proctorg76: and rumsfeld mumbled something about having made a chart and forgetting to bring it with him
(03:46:56) proctorg76: and McCain started getting mad
(03:46:57) proctorg76: it was great
(03:47:44) proctorg76: " MCCAIN: What were the instructions to the guards? RUMSFELD: That is what the investigation that I have indicated has been undertaken... MCCAIN: Mr. Secretary... RUMSFELD: ... is determining... MCCAIN: ... that's a very simple, straight-forward question. "
(03:47:44) Katherine MC: kewl.
(03:51:16) Katherine MC: LOL
(03:54:50) proctorg76: ok, you win
(03:54:54) proctorg76: I'm going to bed
(03:54:58) Katherine MC: yayayay
(03:55:02) Katherine MC: I'm right behind you.
(03:55:09) proctorg76: I"ve got to get up early
(03:55:12) proctorg76: well, for me
(03:55:15) Katherine MC: I've been plugging away, and I lost track of time.
(03:56:20) proctorg76: I think I should be a political spin doctor
(03:57:28) proctorg76: twisting things people say into completely different meanings is fun
(03:57:33) proctorg76: want some examples?
(03:57:52) Katherine MC: no, I'm going to bed!
(03:57:57) proctorg76: it'll be quick
(03:58:02) Katherine MC: See you around!
(03:58:11) proctorg76: fine, goodnight
(03:58:20) Katherine MC: night!
(03:58:34) Katherine MC: <------has class in in the morning
(03:58:39) Katherine MC logged out.
