*** Now talking in #TOTGM
<GMonkey> I be here!
<BabyRain> Hi!
<GMonkey> The macaroni was nummy.
*** BabyRain sets mode: +o GMonkey
<BabyRain> Was it?
<GMonkey> Thanks.
<BabyRain> I had chips.
<BabyRain> No problem.
<GMonkey> Nice healthy dinner.
<BabyRain> Oh yeah.  One of these days we'll actually buy 
groceries.:)
<GMonkey> That does help. :)
<BabyRain> A little, yeah. :)
<GMonkey> Should we have a topic for tonight?
<BabyRain> Well, I emailed just about everyone I could think of, 
asking them to come tonight.  Bill says he should be here for 
the first hour. anyway
<GMonkey> You're so sweet.
<BabyRain> A topic?  Nah, we just won't sing. :)
<GMonkey> But LaLa won't be here, so we could sing. :)
<BabyRain> I don't want to sing.  If it scared off LaLa, how will 
these other people handle it? :)
<GMonkey> But I'm Monkey Woman!!!  I have a beautiful voice! :)
<BabyRain> You do indeed.  I recognized that the moment I heard 
you sing my national anthem. :)
<GMonkey> What can I say.  It's a gift. :)
<BabyRain> Use it only for good. :)
<GMonkey> Don't I always?
<BabyRain> Do we have the fifth here in Canada? :)
<GMonkey> The fifth what?
<BabyRain> Amendment. :)
<GMonkey> Sorry, US only.  Why?  Do you plan to incriminate 
yourself?
<BabyRain> Nah. :)
<GMonkey> So, of all the episodes you have so far, which one is 
your favorite?
<BabyRain> Jasper seem scared to death of me.  Do you think it's 
because he's so little?
<BabyRain> The pilot.  Definitely the pilot.
<GMonkey> No, it's probably because your so big. :)
<GMonkey> Why the pilot?
<BabyRain> Without his tail, he's about the length of my pinky.
<GMonkey> Poor itty bitty Jasper.
<BabyRain> Why the pilot?  Well, aside from Mr. Moody, I think 
everyone gave their best performances and that helped to 
establish the audience identification for the rest of the 
series.
<GMonkey> And of course, Jake took his shirt off. :)
<BabyRain> I think Caitlin's performance is wonderful.
<BabyRain> Oh, did he?  I never noticed. (snort)
<GMonkey> You always wanted to be Sarah, didn't you?
<BabyRain> I did.  I really did.
<GMonkey> You not noticed the Furry Chest?!  NEVAH!! :)
<BabyRain> If he wasn't trying to encourage Bobbie, why did he 
get half-naked in front of her?
<GMonkey> For our benefit. :)
<BabyRain> (Why aren't we saving this stuff for when the others 
get here?)
<BabyRain> I like the furry chest. :)
<GMonkey> They can always read the log.
<GMonkey> Or don't you want this pre-game stuff posted?
<BabyRain> Oh, I don't care if you post it.  No big deal. :)
<GMonkey> Besides we can continue talking about the FC when 
Leanne gets here.
<BabyRain> True, although Bill might not appreciate it. :)
<GMonkey> Hey, then again... ;)
<BabyRain> You behave. :)
<GMonkey> NEVAH!!! :)
<BabyRain> One episode I can't wait to see is "Trunk from the 
Past".  It started a lifelong interest in egyptology for me.
<GMonkey> The copy I got from Lesley is has a few gaps. :(
<BabyRain> That's okay.  I can wait. :)
<GMonkey> Are you sure you don't want the pseudo-movie instead? 
:)
<BabyRain> POSITIVE.
<GMonkey> Wait for what?  I may never get a better copy. :(
<BabyRain> I'm sure something will turn up. :)
<GMonkey> It's almost finished copying.  Then I'm going to make 
another tape.  It never stops.
<BabyRain> So you really are  cursing at the gold monkey. :)
<GMonkey> Would I do such a thing? :)  
<GMonkey> But that is a stupid title, isn't it?
<BabyRain> Dumb.  Dumb, dumb, dumb.
<GMonkey> Okay, I think I've come up with a topic.
<BabyRain> Which is?
<GMonkey> "What was your least favorite episode?"
<BabyRain> No fair.  I can't remember most of them.  But does 
this curse thing count?
<GMonkey> No, you can't count the pseudo-movie.  Which of the 
episodes that you have do you like the least?
<BabyRain> I can't remember the name of it.
<GMonkey> Describe it.
<BabyRain> Petit Bijou
<GMonkey> Cooked Goose.
<BabyRain> Right.
* GMonkey knows all things Monkey
* BabyRain thinks GMonkey knows all things -- period
<GMonkey> But you did like the hot tub scene, right?
<BabyRain> I like goosebumps. :)
<BabyRain> Which is your least favourite?
<GMonkey> Sultan of Swat.
<GMonkey> The one where Jake's boyhood hero is framed for murder.
<BabyRain> I don't remember that one, but from reading about it, 
I don't think I liked it either.
<GMonkey> The script was pretty good.  I wonder why Caitlin had 
to be written out?
<BabyRain> ?
<GMonkey> Read the original script.  Sarah's in that.  But she 
doesn't appear at all in the episode.  They wrote her out.
<GMonkey> Unfortunately, Sarah plays a key role in the original 
script so when they wrote her out, the script doesn't make much 
sense.
<BabyRain> Hmmm.  Maybe she had to have her appendix out.
<GMonkey> Well, if she ever comes back we'll ask her.
<BabyRain> Okay.
<BabyRain> Here comes Leanne
*** Volterra (~danswler@sdts3-51.znet.com) has joined #totgm
<Volterra> lemme try that again. Hi!
<GMonkey> Howdy!
<BabyRain> Hi!
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o Volterra
*** BabyRain sets mode: +o Volterra
<GMonkey> Beat ya!
<Volterra> I keep getting on the wrong server initially :)
<Volterra> wow, double-opped.
<Volterra> How are you guys?
<GMonkey> You lucky thing you? :)
<BabyRain> Great!  How are you?
<GMonkey> I'm okay.  How's it going with you?
* Volterra is great!
<GMonkey> Now, why is that?
<Volterra> I watched the pilot again this morning :)
<GMonkey> We were just discuss the pilot.
<GMonkey> What do you think of SC's furry chest? :)
<Volterra> adore it :)
<BabyRain> Gimme
<GMonkey> BR thinks it should be capitalized, Furry Chest. :)
<GMonkey> But he sure was skinny in those early episodes.
<Volterra> heh heh
<BabyRain> As in the Furry Chest.
<BabyRain> (snort)
<Volterra> you think?
<GMonkey> You could see his ribs.
<GMonkey> BR didn't like the ribs. :)
<BabyRain> I wanted to see his Furry Chest, so I could deal with 
the ribs.
<Volterra> I didn't notice any ribs ...
<BabyRain> I'd just forgotten, and the reaction on the phone last 
night was shick. :)
<GMonkey> It's not as noticable in the pilot.  But in Shanghaied, 
watch out!
<Volterra> btw, BR, glad to see you've written another instalment 
at last!!!!
<Volterra> oh ...
<GMonkey> I think Volterra's lagging a wee bit.
<Volterra> but I'm on the same server ...
<GMonkey> Or maybe you're just slow. :)
<BabyRain> It was kind of a blah installment, but I don't know 
how to play poker. :)
<Volterra> :P~
<BabyRain> Now, be nice, Monkey Woman. :)
<GMonkey> NEVAH!!! :)
<Volterra> BR: that was the research you had to do?
<Volterra> hey L&C played strip poker on Sunday night :)
<BabyRain> Yup, that was it.
<BabyRain> C?
<BabyRain> L?
<GMonkey> Okay, Volterra, here's a tough question.
<Volterra> Lois & Clark
<GMonkey> Who's chest do you prefer, SC's or DC's?
<Volterra> hmmm ....
<Volterra> SC's ... I prefer fur
<GMonkey> I know, tough choice,huh?
<Volterra> Dc's is nicely defined though
<GMonkey> I think we have to get all this chest hair silliness 
out of our system before Bill arrives.
<Volterra> heh heh. Say anyone heard from Jeff?
<GMonkey> Nope. :(
<BabyRain> I email;ed Jeff but no response yet.
<GMonkey> Hey, I wonder if Jeff has a furry chest.
<Volterra> maybe he's off on holidays
<BabyRain> I can't believe I didn't know who L&C was, coming from 
Leanne. :)  (smacking forehead)
<BabyRain> Could be.
* Volterra grins
<GMonkey> I bet LaLa would know or at the very least be willing 
to find out.
<BabyRain> I don't think she knows any more than I do.
<BabyRain> About this, I mean. :)
<GMonkey> But LaLa knows almost as much as Monkey Woman. :)
<BabyRain> ::)
<GMonkey> I say as Official Corky Correspondent, it's her duty to 
find out. ;)
<Volterra> is she coming tonight? LaLa that is
<BabyRain> Probably not.  Flood.
<GMonkey> Nope.  The sewer system in Ashland was knocked out by 
flooding.
<GMonkey> They had to close the school for a week because they 
have no water.
<Volterra> :( is she ok? Has she been in touch?
<GMonkey> At least *she* has running water.
<GMonkey> Yes, she's fine, but going stir crazy.
<Volterra> well that's good to hear
*** Gargon (ghancock@inetix3.dnet.net) has joined #totgm
<GMonkey> Hi, Garry!
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o Gargon
<Gargon> Hi y'all
<GMonkey> Welcome to our first MonkeyChat for 1997!
<Gargon> Finally got free of that tax class
<Gargon> Glad I could make it..
<GMonkey> Then you can stay longer than 10 minutes?
<Gargon> what's happening?
<Gargon> Yep
<GMonkey> Oh not much.
<BabyRain> Nice to see you, Garry.
<GMonkey> Okay, topic for the night...
<GMonkey> "What was your least favorite episode?"
<Volterra> the ones I haven't seen yet? :)
<Gargon> That topic is loaded...
<GMonkey> I know. :)
<Gargon> see?
<GMonkey> Okay, of all the episodes you can remember, which one 
was your least favorite?
<GMonkey> Garry, would you like to be added to the list of tape 
recipients?
<GMonkey> They're not all great copies, but they sure bring back 
memories.
<Volterra> The Egyptian one
<Gargon> I can wait till you have the initial onslaught handled.
<GMonkey> The initial onslaught will never be handled. :)
<BabyRain> Heheheh.
<Gargon> I agree with Volterra; that would be the one...
<GMonkey> I can add you to the list.  I won't be able to start 
making copies for you for a few weeks.
<GMonkey> Okay, what did you dislike about the Egyptian episode.
<Gargon> OK. Let me know when you need some capital to work 
with... :)
* GMonkey knows it's called Trunk From the Past, but doesn't like 
to show off.
<Gargon> It was just a little too farout...
<Gargon> far out
<GMonkey> I'll let you know before I start making copies for you, 
Garry.
<Gargon> cool
<Volterra> Gm :P~
<BabyRain> Far out?
<GMonkey> What's wrong, Volterra?
<GMonkey> I've made copies for you already.
<Volterra> I'm :P~ing at you showing off :)
<GMonkey> Ah, okay. :)
<BabyRain> How do you mean, Garry?
<GMonkey> As if a one-eyed, multi-lingual terrier is normal. :)
* Volterra dislikes the shlocky "horror" style acting of Caitlin.
<Volterra> in TFTP
<Gargon> I've forgotten the commands for this thing...time off 
does that to me...
<GMonkey> Well, as long as you don't think when you watch that 
episode, it's enjoyable.
<Volterra> I don't think it's the Egyptian thing I mind so much, 
but the treatment of the subject.
<Gargon> ping GMonkey
<GMonkey> How so?
<Gargon> whoops
<GMonkey> ping yourself! :)
<Gargon> better than PONG
<Volterra> well ... they didn't make it "believable" enough... 
and do I have to mention the over-acting again?
<GMonkey> "Oh God!  Oh my God!  You...killed him!" :)
<Volterra> not to mention the first time she sees the trunk ...
<Gargon> Gotta love it though...campy...
<GMonkey> Well, my least favorite episode was "The Sultan of 
Swat" which, mercifully, nobody remembers.
<Gargon> BabyRain, you still out there?
<Volterra> inspired by the Dire Straits song, perhaps?
<Gargon> ouch!
<GMonkey> Unfortunately, no.  It was the episode where Jake's 
boyhood idol, a famous baseball player, is framed for murder.
<Gargon> 8P
<BabyRain> I'm still here
<GMonkey> I bet Bill remembers the episode.
<Volterra> oh yeah, I remember reading the synopsis of that one 
... it's bad?PIty, Dan'd like a baseball episode
<GMonkey> Now, where is Billy Boy?
<BabyRain> Good question.
<GMonkey> The original script is pretty good, but for some reason 
they wrote Sarah out at the last minute.
<GMonkey> Makes no sense after that.
<GMonkey> She actually played a key role in the original story.
<Volterra> maybe Caitlin got sick?
<GMonkey> Maybe.  Too bad.  I would have loved to see it as 
originally written.
<Gargon> The NETS fast tonight... slowest time is 8 secs
<GMonkey> BR, do you want to share your least favorite episode 
with us?
<BabyRain> No. :)
<Gargon> Has the dates, time, etc; been set for the Gathering of 
Monkiacs, as of yet?
<GMonkey> Oh, a wise guy, huh? :)
<BabyRain> Well, okay.
<Gargon> Inquiring minds wanna know...
<GMonkey> Um, well, not exactly.
<BabyRain> I don't remember most of the episodes, but I didn't 
really like "Cooked Goose" in a lot of ways.
<Gargon> No rush. I was just wondering...
<GMonkey> We'll work on it, Garry.
<GMonkey> What ways, BR?
<BabyRain> I liked the stuff to do with the main characters, but 
thought the others (The slimeball and his screeching wife) 
were uninteresting.
<GMonkey> But the episode had its moments.
<BabyRain> I didn't find it believable.  *However*, I did find 
what was going on between Jake and Corky to be incredibly 
well-written and moving.
<Gargon> Gotta bail in a little while...I'm doing this from my 
office and as busy as it is they may want to put me back to 
work...yuck!
<GMonkey> Okay, Garry, we understand.
<GMonkey> Yeah, the Jake-Corky stuff was great.
<GMonkey> And I liked the scene when Sarah tricks Corky into 
staying by announcing to everyone that she's pregnant with his 
baby.
<Gargon> They really did make a great combonation...  action-wise 
that is... 
<BabyRain> I loved the stuff with the regulars, but yawned 
through the guests.
<GMonkey> That's the beauty of home video.  You can just fast 
forward through the boring bits.
<Gargon> amen
<Gargon> I love remote controls too for changing channels when 
the boys come through and complain about watching "OLD" 
shows... argh!
<GMonkey> They're not "OLD".  They're "CLASSIC". :)
<BabyRain> Exactly.
<Volterra> hear hear!
<Gargon> Try to give them a little culture and what do it 
get...grousing..
<Gargon> it= I
<GMonkey> Argh, kids today! :)
<Gargon> My hands ain't with it tonight...
<Gargon> I do have one who is a flying nut though...he and I are 
in Civil Air Patrol and the little twit has more flight time 
than his Dad (me) does...
<GMonkey> Of course, "twit" is a term of affection. :)
<Gargon> ubetcah
<Gargon> ubetcha
<Gargon> hands of stone...
<GMonkey> whatevah :)
<Gargon> better bail, ladies... have a good evening and wish me 
luck braving the dreaded Grocery Aisles... Not my favorite way 
to spend an evening...
<BabyRain> :)
<Volterra> bye Garry! nice to meet you
<BabyRain> Lucky you, Garry. :)
<GMonkey> Toodles, Garry!
<Gargon> nice to meet you too, Volterra.
<BabyRain> Bye!
<Volterra> btw, anyone got a good way to cook chicken?? rather 
than just sticking them in the oven and hoping for the best.
<GMonkey> Whole or parts?
*** Gargon has quit IRC (Leaving)
<Volterra> parts
<GMonkey> Believe it or not, I like to marinate/season chicken 
with salad dressing, preferably fat free ones.
<GMonkey> The vinegar gives it a great flavor.
<BabyRain> Doug just brought me FOOD!
<Volterra> way to go, Doug :)
<GMonkey> Good Doug!
<BabyRain> It's chicken! :)
<GMonkey> Seasoned with vinegar? :)
<BabyRain> Nope.  Grease. :)
<GMonkey> Oooo, the good kind. :)
<Volterra> :)
<BabyRain> You gals talk.  I'm going to watch and stuff my face. 
:)
<GMonkey> Otay.
<GMonkey> Hmmm...want more chicken tips, Leanne?
<Volterra> hmm, well, I guess so ... we have any number of stir 
fry sauces that I could possibly adapt to it.
<GMonkey> You could do that, but it could get messy.
<GMonkey> Is it boneless chicken?
<Volterra> other than that there's an unopened bottle of honey 
mustard dressing
<Volterra> no it has bones
<GMonkey> Well, you could lightly season the chicken and broil it 
and just before it's done add the honey mustard dressing to it. 
 Kinda like barbeque sauce.
*** BabyRain changes topic to "Cooking Tips from the Monkey Bar"
* Volterra has never broiled chicken before ....
<GMonkey> Thank you, BR.
<GMonkey> Does your oven have a broiling option?
<Volterra> ew, look at that grease on BR's keyboard!
<Volterra> yeees
<GMonkey> Well, if you're worrie about broiling (it's healthier 
to broil, ya know), you could always bake it.
<Volterra> nah, I can always go look it up.
<GMonkey> Just be careful you don't burn the chicken.
<Volterra> so what do I season the chicken with? 
<Volterra> I won't. the oven guide has a time thingy in it.
<GMonkey> What kind of seasonings do you like?
* Volterra shrugs.
<Volterra> Am I being helpful :)
<GMonkey> Yes, loads, thanks. :)
<GMonkey> Hmmm...the trick to broiling is to not dry the chicken 
out.
<Volterra> so I have to baste often?
<GMonkey> Avoid salt seasoning, because it'll dry it out.
<GMonkey> No, you don't baste.  Broiling cooks the chicken 
quickly.
<GMonkey> Broiling is a lot like barbequing.
<Volterra> oh, ok.
<GMonkey> Don't Aussies like to bbq?  "Put another shrimp on the 
barbie."
<Volterra> well, I'll figure something out ...
<Volterra> yeah, but on a BBQ, not in an oven!
<GMonkey> Well, do you have a BBQ?
<Volterra> one sticks the meat in a wine-based marinade for a day 
or two and then cook it. Kinda like carne asada. I guess I 
could do carne pollo!
<Volterra> or is that pollo asada?
<GMonkey> Probably the latter, since carne pollo is beef poultry. 
:)
<Volterra> :)
<GMonkey> Okay, so much for today's cooking lesson. :)
<Volterra> thanks Pat!
<GMonkey> It's all part of the Monkey Woman duties. :)
<BabyRain> Tune in next week for "Carp with Koji"
<GMonkey> Yucky!  I'll stick with the peanut butter sandwiches. 
:)
<Volterra> hehheh :)
<GMonkey> So have you finished your greasy chicken, BR?
<BabyRain> Still working on it
<BabyRain> There were fries, too
<GMonkey> Oooo, Doug went all out, didn't he?
<BabyRain> Question
<GMonkey> Ask
<BabyRain> The guy who gets his head chopped off in the pilot ... 
Was he the captain responsible for Willie being late, or 
merely an example?
<GMonkey> The captain.
<GMonkey> "He will never be late again."
<BabyRain> That's what I thought.
<BabyRain> Yeah, but that line could've gone either way
* BabyRain is now eating coleslaw
<GMonkey> If you read the script, you'll notice that it's the 
captain.
<BabyRain> ok
<GMonkey> KFC Coleslaw?!
* GMonkey wipes the drool from her chin
* Volterra hasn't had KFC in *ages*
* Volterra drools too ...
<BabyRain> No.  Deluxe French Fries. :)  We have KFC, though.  I 
prefer their macaroni salad
<GMonkey> I don't know what KFC does to their coleslaw but it's 
delicious.
<GMonkey> BTW, BR, in the script, they have the translation of 
how Todo announces Willie to Princess Koji.
<GMonkey> "Honorable Princess...the German pig has arrived." :)
*** BabyRain changes topic to "Talk the Monkey."
<BabyRain> They do?  What is iit?
<BabyRain> :)
* Volterra grins.
<Volterra> I'll have to go read that script. Is it online?
<GMonkey> I've listened carefully, and I'm pretty sure that's 
what he really says.
<BabyRain> I'll have top check
<GMonkey> Yes, all the scripts are online.  Go to the episode 
guide.
* BabyRain is still certain the man's name was Dodo, and it's ll 
a cover-up.
<GMonkey> I didn't mean now!
* Volterra isn't going anywhere
<GMonkey> It was just a little too quiet there for a moment.
* BabyRain is too polite to type with her mouth full.
<GMonkey> Yeah, right. :)
* BabyRain slaps GMonkey around a bit with a large trout
* Volterra has just finished going through her comprehensive 
Warlow as Phantom file. Yes, I've been multi-tasking again.
<GMonkey> Them's fighting words!
<BabyRain> Come and get me, Monkey-Head!
<BabyRain> :)
<GMonkey> That's okay.  I just won't come up to visit you with 
Monkey tapes.
* BabyRain immediately bursts into tears
<GMonkey> Oh, now don't cry, BR.  I'm sorry.
* BabyRain begins ripping her hair out in anguish
<GMonkey> Just stop hitting me with the fish, okay? :)
* BabyRain thinks the world is coming to an end
<BabyRain> But you asked for it. :)
<BabyRain> When you come up, we'll have Deluxe French Fries.
<GMonkey> Hey, me and the tapes can stay right here. :)
<GMonkey> Are you trying to bribe me with food? :)
<BabyRain> You don't want DFF?
<GMonkey> I didn't say that. :)
* BabyRain is picturing all the Diet Pepsi in the fridge whem 
MonkeyWoman comes to visit.
<Volterra> what *are* Deluxe French Fries?
<BabyRain> Leanne, you should come visit me, too. :)
<GMonkey> We'll all gather round the TV and watch Monkey 
episodes.
<Volterra> I would love to -- when I get my permanent resident 
stamp in my passport ... otherwise you'd be stuck with me for 
a *long* time!
<BabyRain> Deluxe is a chain of local restaurants.  Their logo is 
"Where the spud is king".
<GMonkey> Who can pass up a slogan like that.
<BabyRain> And we can go to the Reversing Falls!
<BabyRain> Where a river flows one direction part of the day, and 
then turns around and goes the other waay.
<GMonkey> Fickle, huh.
<BabyRain> Versatile. :)
<Volterra> clever. justlike river salmon, eh?
<GMonkey> Okay, let's get back to MonkeyChatting.
<BabyRain> We have monkeys. :)
<GMonkey> Maybe we should go back to the Furry Chest now that 
it's ladies only. :)
<BabyRain> What's your fave ep?
<GMonkey> Who?  Me?
<BabyRain> Yeah.
<Volterra> I haven't re-seen them all yet ... but "Naka Jima 
Kill" is still a sentimental favourite
<GMonkey> The Late Sarah White, which you don't have.
<BabyRain> How come, Leanne?
<BabyRain> Why, MW?
<GMonkey> I'll let Volterra answer first.
<Volterra> because I kept the teaser for it all these years on 
audio ....
<BabyRain> So did I.  Bizarre, eh?
<Volterra> innit? :)
<GMonkey> You two do frighten me a bit at times. :)
<Volterra> we do?
<BabyRain> Us?
<GMonkey> You're so alike it's scary.
<BabyRain> I bet we could type the trailer, line by line, 
alternating lines, if you want, Trish. :)
<Volterra> hmm, maybe we're twins :)
*** Billprest (Billpresto@169-151-38.ipt.aol.com) has joined

<BabyRain> Got married the same year, too.
<GMonkey> Finally!
<BabyRain> It's about time, Bill! :)
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o Billprest
*** BabyRain sets mode: +o GMonkey
<Billprest> Hello, you Sky Dogs of Boragora!
<Volterra> Bill!
<BabyRain> Happy New Year!
<Billprest> Hiya Kids!
<BabyRain> How've ya been?
<Billprest> Am I fashionably late?
<Billprest> Fine, thanks.
<BabyRain> The top of the town.
<GMonkey> Not fashionable, just late. :)
<Billprest> What time did you all start?
<BabyRain> I opened it at 6:20 pm AST
<GMonkey> Officially 6 ET (An hour and 15 minutes ago), but BR 
and I had a pre-game chat.
<Billprest> I thought things started at 3:00 EST.
<GMonkey> Only on Sundays.
<BabyRain> That's Sunday.
<BabyRain> jinx
<GMonkey> I'm too mature for jinxes. :)
<BabyRain> Since when?
<Billprest> Oh well.
<Billprest> What are we talking about, y'all?
<GMonkey> Since now.
<Volterra> Bill: fave eps
<BabyRain> Glad you're here, though.  How's Denver?  And what's 
your least favourite episode?
<Billprest> My least favorite?  Probably "Distant Shout of 
Thunder."  Denver is fine; big cold spell coming, however.
<BabyRain> Why DSoT?
<Billprest> Too grim.  Scares my daughter.
<BabyRain> It *is* grim.  That's why I like it. :)
<Billprest> Did anyone notice the similarities between Sarah's 
drugged out state & Indiana Jone's trance thingie in "Temple 
of Doom?"
<GMonkey> Yes, but of course, ToD came out over a year after that 
episode.
<BabyRain> Never saw it.
<GMonkey> Never saw "Temple of Doom"?!
<Billprest> Very true.  They ripped TOTGM off.
<BabyRain> Nope.  Sorry.
<Billprest> Temple of Doom was a bit grim as well.
<GMonkey> Well, it was quite obvious that Raiders was a Gold 
Monkey rip-off. :)
* Volterra saw Temple of Doom ... it was a little gross.
<GMonkey> Temple of Doom is fun to watch in a theater full of 
screaming people.
<Billprest> Lotsa gross.
<GMonkey> Otherwise, it's not much fun.
* Volterra thinks there may be take-out tonight after all. The 
chicken is refusing to defrost
<BabyRain> brb email coming in
<Billprest> Hey Leanne, how are things in San Diego?  Seasonably 
warm?
<BabyRain> I GOT EMAIL FROM LES JANKEY!!!!!!!  BRB!!!!!
<GMonkey> Awesome!
<Volterra> actually it's cooled down quite a bit ... there's snow 
in the mountains and we have a wind chill factor happening
<Volterra> cool :)
<GMonkey> BTW, Bill, what happened to the Broncos?
* GMonkey is sick of hearing about the Patriots here in SE Mass.
<Billprest> The Broncos are a bunch of head cases.
<GMonkey> You sound a wee bit bitter.
<Billprest> You'd think, being favored to win the Super Bowl, and 
with the best record in the NFL, they could pull it together 
for one game.
<GMonkey> So who wants to see a Carolina-Jacksonville Super Bowl? 
:)
<Billprest> Don't mistake me for one of their fans.  But my 
co-workers are ultra bummed.
<BabyRain> Are we discussing football?
<GMonkey> The Denver Broncos lost this weekend.
<Billprest> Let's discuss the recent Les Jankey email!
* BabyRain prefers figure-skating.
<Volterra> I think that would be excellently cool, even though I 
hate football
<Volterra> let's discuss teh email!
<GMonkey> Email!!!
<GMonkey> Did you invite him to join us?
<Billprest> Leanne, I've been reading some stuff about Australia. 
 Interesting place.
<BabyRain> Basically, he says he should be as good as new in 
about 5 weeks and that the support from the TOTGM community 
did him a world of good.
<GMonkey> Aw, how sweet.
<Billprest> He seems like a decent sort.
<Volterra> Br: that's good to hear.
<Volterra> Bill: why've you been doing that?
<BabyRain> Yeah.  I was kind of worried about him.
<Billprest> Will you excuse me a moment?  I have to place a paper 
order, which requires getting offline to use the fax.  A 
thousand pardons.
<BabyRain> Will you come back?
*** Billprest has quit IRC (Leaving)
<GMonkey> Typical male! :)
<BabyRain> Another mystery. :)
<Volterra> well, he said a moment :)
<BabyRain> How long *is* a moment, *really*?
<GMonkey> Hmmm...maybe he's just trying to let us down gently. :)
<BabyRain> Maybe.  Unlike some men who never write you back. :)
<GMonkey> Well, he did write you back eventually, sorta. :)
<BabyRain> Oh, I wasn't thinking of anybody in particular.
<GMonkey> Oh, no.  I didn't think so.
<BabyRain> Oh.  Okay. :)
* Volterra has gone to put a jumper on
<BabyRain> A wha...?
<BabyRain> Sweater, right?
<GMonkey> Chilly in Southern California?
<BabyRain> Tie me kangaroo down, sport.  Tie me kangaroo down ...
<Volterra> yup. sweater.
* Volterra gets out her wobble-board to accompany BR
* BabyRain puts a mark for herself on the scoreboard in the air
<GMonkey> BR, I thought you said you weren't going to sing 
tonight.
<BabyRain> Wobble-board?  Do you have one of those other things?
<Volterra> didgeridoo? No, but my Mum does
<BabyRain> I wasn't singing.  I was reciting.  Can't you tell the 
difference? :)
<BabyRain> Yeah.  That's it!
<GMonkey> Sorry.  Your voice is so melodious that I couldn't tell 
the difference. :)
<BabyRain> I want to buy the Goose.
<GMonkey> But you can't fly.
<Volterra> I wanna fly in it
<GMonkey> I want Jake to fly me around in it.  He could be my 
chauffeur (sp?).
<BabyRain> I want to win the lottery, buy the Goose, and we'll 
all go flying in it.
<BabyRain> But first we'll repaint it red.  Painting it blue was 
just plain evil.
<Volterra> wasn't it just? and we could rescue the gold monkey 
from DB
<GMonkey> Bad seaplane people.  Bad, bad seaplane people.
*** BabyRain changes topic to "Save the Monkey!!"
<GMonkey> Oh, don't get BR started on that coat hanger business.
<BabyRain> Grrrrr.
* Volterra thinks it's absolute sacrilege too ...
<GMonkey> Now, see what you've done.
<BabyRain> If DB *is* using it as a coathanger, hat rack, 
whatever, I think he is a King Weenie.
<GMonkey> Maybe it was an emergency.
<BabyRain> Doubt it.
* Volterra doubly doubts it.
<BabyRain> I want the monkey.
<BabyRain> MW, use your Hollywood clout to get the monkey.
<BabyRain> :)
<GMonkey> Isn't trying to get the networks to air more quality 
programs enough for you people.  Now I've got to rescue props 
too. :)
*** Billprest (Billpresto@169-154-116.ipt.aol.com) has joined 
#totgm
<GMonkey> Yippee!  He's back.
<Billprest> Forgive me for that.
<BabyRain> Please?  My birthday is coming up, you know.  If you 
could just get me a letter from the rescued monkey, I could go 
on living my life.
<BabyRain> Forgive you for coming back?
<Billprest> For being gone.
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o Billprest
<BabyRain> Oh.  Okay. :)
<Billprest> Where's Lesley?
<Volterra> The Gold Monkey can write, BR?
<GMonkey> Flooded out, I'm afraid.
<Billprest> Yikes!
<GMonkey> Well, the college anyway.
<BabyRain> The Gold Monkey can do anything.  Even leave black 
streaks like ordinary brass. :)
<GMonkey> Sewer system got knocked out.
<Billprest> Last I talked to her she had a lake in her backyard, 
but the house was dry.
<Billprest> Not good!
<GMonkey> She's fine at home, but the college is closed for a 
week.
<Billprest> Hey, has anyone noticed that the people who write 
into Patricia's Web site are either in their twenties or their 
forties?
<Billprest> Why is that?
<GMonkey> Guess the show didn't appeal to thirtysomethings. :)
<Volterra> hmm, what were the twentysomethings watching in the 
early 80s?
<Billprest> The 30 somethings (during the initial run) would be 
50 somethings now, would they not.
<GMonkey> Depends on how old they were to begin with.
<BabyRain> My dad, Erik, didn't like the show.
<BabyRain> Weenie. :)
<GMonkey> But, perhaps the show wasn't big on college campuses 
back in the early 80s.
<Billprest> Is he daft?  
<GMonkey> My mom loved it.
<BabyRain> Maybe a little, but we're still waiting for the 
official report. ;)
<GMonkey> She used to think that our dogs talked to her, so I 
guess she could relate. :)
<BabyRain> My mom hated it, too.
<Billprest> One of the guys here at the shop got in trouble for 
trying to make his dog one-eyed like Jack.
<BabyRain> In order to watch it, I had to do dishes every single 
night.
<Billprest> Small price to pay.
<BabyRain> You're kidding, Bill.  Please tell me you're kidding.
<Billprest> I'm not kidding.  He didn't get too far, luckily.
<Volterra> I think me and my brother were the only ones who liked 
it in my family.
<Billprest> Hey, what were some of everyone else's least favorite 
episodes?  I missed it.
<GMonkey> Let's see if you remember "The Sultan of Swat", Bill.
*** Billprest (Billpresto@169-154-116.ipt.aol.com) has left 
#totgm
<Volterra> what happened to Bill?
<GMonkey> Oh sure!  Ask him a question and he runs!
*** Billprest (Billpresto@169-154-116.ipt.aol.com) has joined 
#totgm
<Billprest> oops
<GMonkey> Are you trying to avoid us, Bill?
<Billprest> No, no.  You're all very pleasant people.
<GMonkey> Then why do you keep leaving? :)
<Billprest> I shudder to think of the difficulty of picking the 
pleasantest of you.
<Billprest> I pinged you, Patricia, and got disconnected.
<GMonkey> Well, stop pinging around. :)
<Billprest> Good advice.
<GMonkey> Bill, do you remember "The Sultan of Swat"?
<Billprest> Yeah
<GMonkey> Well, that was my least favorite episode, but nobody 
else remembers it.
<Billprest> Is that one of the bad ones?
<GMonkey> Just as well, I guess.
<Billprest> When Jake was holding the Babe Ruth guy up in the 
air, to keep from hanging, I couldn't believe how many times 
he got punched in the kidneys.
<GMonkey> Yeah, they really had to pad that episode with all 
sorts of fight scenes.  Shame.
<Billprest> That episode was a little  grim as well.  A young 
girl got murdered, Jake's fastball got murdered.
<GMonkey> The original script got murdered!
<Billprest> Now that you mention it, that wasn't one of the gems.
<Billprest> I didn't read the original script.  Was it good?
<GMonkey> It's online if you want to take a look.
<GMonkey> And yes, it made a lot more sense.
<Billprest> Jeff had an interesting comment about scripts.  He 
said something to the effect that "The closer it got to 
deadline, the dumber Corky's character was."  
<GMonkey> Guess it's faster to write dumb.
<Billprest> Louis L'Amour spoke of his early pulp-writing days.  
They told him, "We don't want it good.  We want it Wednesday."
*** BabyRain sets mode: +o Billprest
<GMonkey> Hey, where are BR and Volterra?
<Volterra> I'm here
<Billprest> I dunno.  It's been you & me for awhile.
<GMonkey> Are you gals getting tired?
* Volterra has been listening with interest
<BabyRain> I'm here, too.
<BabyRain> Not tired.  Doug gave me his coleslaw. :)
<GMonkey> Ah, a woman with priorities. :)
<Billprest> Hey, I think they could have worked more Australians 
into the show, since they roam the Pacific at random.
<Billprest> Dowser was the only one I remember offhand.
<GMonkey> Well, they had Dowser.  And of course Matilda.
<Volterra> Matilda?
<GMonkey> The mule.
<Billprest> Dowser's line about (and I don't quote exactly) "You 
don't need me.  You just want the bon-bons" was one of the 
funniest.
<Volterra> oh, it could have at least been a kangaroo ...
<Billprest> Hey Karen, you said Boragora was 3,271 miles from 
Manila. Have you placed that on a map?
<GMonkey> Have you ever tried to mine for platinum with a 
kangaroo? :)
<BabyRain> I said that?
<Volterra> you could put it in its pouch
<Billprest> Did I say Karen?  I meant Patricia.
<GMonkey> I said it was 3,251 miles to Manila.
<GMonkey> And no, I never tried to place it.
<Billprest> I can't find a decent map of the Pacific.
<Billprest> No atlases pay it much attention.
<BabyRain> Too much water.
<Volterra> There's an island called BoraBora that's more or less 
in the right place.
<BabyRain> Neat Tahiti, in French Polynesia
<Billprest> I've often wondered, what island chain they 
patterned the Marivellas after.
<Billprest> Solomons, Marianas, Gilberts?
<BabyRain> Probably a bit of each
<GMonkey> So...
<BabyRain> I think if I were a nun, I'd leave the order for Jake 
and his FC.
<GMonkey> Maybe it's time to wrap things up.
<Billprest> There was a neat international flavor about TOTGM.  
Throw in a few more Aussies, and perhaps a Canadian or two, 
and voila.  
<GMonkey> But Jake never offered himself or his FC to the nun.
<BabyRain> Can I be the Canadian? :)
<Volterra> not the FC!
* Volterra will be the Aussie.
<GMonkey> Aren't you afraid of being typecast? :)
<Billprest> I had you in mind.
<BabyRain> Jake shoulda.  And besides, do you really think I'd 
wait for an offer? :)
<Billprest> WHAT'S AN FC?
<Billprest> Leanne would make a good Aussie.
<GMonkey> I don't think you want to know, Bill. :)
<BabyRain> Um, it stands for furry chest, Bill. (sheepish grin)
<Billprest> A fair dinkum Aussie, I should think.
<Volterra> Bill: that's because I am one, mate.
<Billprest> Furry chest.  I mighta known.
<BabyRain> Sorry. :)
<BabyRain> I'm really trying to be a good girl.
<GMonkey> You know you're not really all that sorry, BR. :)
<Volterra> mate incidentally is Aussie for "friend/buddy"
<BabyRain> Well, maybe just a little. :)
<GMonkey> But the sight of that FC is making Babyrain very 
naughty. :)
<Billprest> Hey, is Jeff going to guest star on JAG?
<GMonkey> Lesley said he was.
<BabyRain> I hope so.  I get JAG.
<Billprest> (not to change the subject from Jake's furry chest 
or nothing.
<BabyRain> That's okay, Bill.  We understand. :)
<GMonkey> Babyrain gets JAG, but doesn't get 7th Heaven.
<Billprest> We saw JAG the other night.  The Colorado girl has 
been replaced.
<GMonkey> But they don't show the FC on 7th Heaven anyway. :)
<BabyRain> I should hope not.
<GMonkey> Hey, does the JAG guy have a FC?
<Volterra> pity. I mean, if they can have him on the roof 
singing ...
<BabyRain> We're probably making Bill uncomfortable.
<GMonkey> Bill, are you uncomfortable?
<Billprest> There's a Corky-character on JAG.  Lt. Roberts.  
Acts just like Corky, only he's a genius.  More time to write 
scripts, I suppose.
<Billprest> No.  I'm in  the revolving padded chair.
<BabyRain> Corky was a genius in his own way.
<Billprest> The Corky character was brilliant.
<BabyRain> Are you sure you don't meab "room", Bill? :)
<GMonkey> Okay, then does anybody know if the JAG guy has a FC 
or not? ;)
<Billprest> No he doesn't
<BabyRain> Are you talking about that Sabato guy?
<BabyRain> If so, bald as a billiard ball.
<GMonkey> Oh, then I don't need to watch it, huh? :)
<BabyRain> Uh, Bill?
<Billprest> If you tune in for furry chests, expect 
disappointment.
<Billprest> Yes Karen...
<BabyRain> Bill?
<Billprest> yes..
<BabyRain> Are you an expert on FCs? :)
<Billprest> How is one determined to be an expert?
* BabyRain is expecting the large trout slap any second now...
<BabyRain> I'm just kidding. :)
* GMonkey slaps BabyRain around a bit with a large trout
<GMonkey> I didn't want to disappoint you. :)
<BabyRain> Not from you! :)
<Billprest> (Bill does what's right, slaps Karen with a large 
thawed elk steak.)
<BabyRain> OW!
<GMonkey> Besides, I don't think Bill knows about the slap 
function.
<BabyRain> :)
*** Billprest has quit IRC (Leaving)
<BabyRain> Was it something I said?
<GMonkey> Oh dear!
<Volterra> I wonder if that was another oops?
<BabyRain> I didn't even ask him if he had an FC.
<GMonkey> I think he was trying to find the slap function.
<GMonkey> I didn't explain the intracacies of mIRC.
<BabyRain> Has anyone ever noticed all I talk about is sex and 
food?  Ithink I'm stuck in one of my developmental phases ...
* BabyRain hopes Bill comes back.
<GMonkey> All we ever talk about is sex and food.
*** Billprest (Billpresto@169-154-116.ipt.aol.com) has joined 
#totgm
* BabyRain wants to point out that it has nothing to do with what 
she just said.
<Billprest> sheesh!
<GMonkey> Well, maybe a bit about Gold Monkey.
<BabyRain> Hi, Bill!
<Billprest> Hello again.
<Volterra> which developmental phase is that?
<GMonkey> What were you trying to do, Bill?
<BabyRain> No wonder people are afraid to join us.
<Billprest> Anyway, on JAG the other night, the guy had his shirt 
off and he was not an FC, if you must know.
*** BabyRain sets mode: +o Billprest
<GMonkey> Well, actually I *must* know.  It is vital to my 
viewing pleasure. :)
<BabyRain> Okay.  We won't watch him, then. :)
<BabyRain> Thanks, Bill.
<Billprest> FCs are not politically correct.
<BabyRain> Why?
<GMonkey> But they're soooooooooo sexy! ;)
<Billprest> I dunno.  I don't make the rules.
* BabyRain doesn't like bald chests.
<Billprest> I seem to get that impression from you all.
<BabyRain> Bill, are we making you uncomfortable?
<BabyRain> You are somewhat in a minority here.
<GMonkey> Well, Jake set the standard by which we judge all men.
<BabyRain> As long as he was wearing the hat.
<Billprest> (Bill keeps his mouth shut)
<GMonkey> He had to hide that receding hairline. :)
* BabyRain hands Bill some pretzels and offers words of solace
<Volterra> Him and Clark Kent, anyway
<BabyRain> Clark Kent wears a hat?
<Billprest> Thanks for the pretzels.  Now if only I had a frosty 
Schweppes to go with them.
* BabyRain hands Bill *two* frosty Schweppeses.
<Billprest> Are we saying that SC had a receding hairline?
<BabyRain> No.  Jake did. :)
<GMonkey> Yes, we are and yes, he did and does.
<Billprest> Frosty Schwabs?  Thank you!
<BabyRain> I liked that hat.
<Billprest> I think he's had a hair weave or something, because 
his hair in 1996 was pretty thick.
* BabyRain likes her men tall, *dark* and hamdsome.
<Billprest> And yes, that was a cool hat.
<GMonkey> We know, BR.  I promised you I'd buy you a hat.
<Billprest> Only $89.00.
* BabyRain falls on the floor picturing SC in dreds
<Volterra> no, but a combination of Jake and BR is what I look 
for in a man. :)
<BabyRain> WHAT?!
<Billprest> BR?
* Volterra was gazing at Anthony and apologises for the lag.
<GMonkey> Please get up, BR.  I don't want you falling down and 
hurting yourself.
<Volterra> oops. not BR, CK.
<Billprest> Come again?
<Billprest> CK?
* BabyRain slaps Volterra around a bit with a large trout
<Volterra> that was serious keyboard oopsie
<Billprest> Chuck Knorris?
* Volterra deserved that.
<Volterra> Clark Kent
* BabyRain is laughing so hard that she can't breathe
* BabyRain has a dog trying to rescue her
<Volterra> breathe, BR, breathe!
* GMonkey gets a picture of Jake the Hermaphrodite. It ain't 
pretty.
<Billprest> (sends a CPR unit to New Brunswick, email)
<BabyRain> yucky
<Billprest> Hermaphrodite?  Are we drifting here?
<Volterra> Gm: particularly with the FC?
<GMonkey> Hey, BR, if you need mouth-to-mouth, maybe I should 
call Randolph Mantooth. :)
<BabyRain> Okay ... How did Jake get his *dry* hat back after 
wrestling with Monocle in the water in the pilot?
<Billprest> Props dept, I reckon.
<GMonkey> I thought it was wet.
<BabyRain> The same props dept that handed DB my monkey
<GMonkey> Not soaking, but wet enough.
<Billprest> How did Monocle keep his monocle intact in the throes 
of death?
<BabyRain> Krazy glue
<Billprest> And I've asked before, how does Jake spend 2 minutes 
underwater, then kiss Sarah for 45 seconds without catching 
his breath?
<BabyRain> What a man, what a man, what a man ....
<GMonkey> Oh it wasn't that long.
* Volterra chuckles
<BabyRain> It must be the FC. :)
<GMonkey> Wow!  If Jake had that much stamina, just imagine...;)
* BabyRain is laughing again
* GMonkey stops when she realizes there are gentlemen present
<Billprest> It seemed that long.
<Billprest> (squirms uncomfortably)
* BabyRain hands Bill ore pretzels
<Billprest> Ore pretzels.  Bad for the teeth.
<BabyRain> more pretzels
<GMonkey> Well, we did say that Jake was the standard by which we 
judge men by.  If I were a man, I'd be squirming too, Bill. :)
<BabyRain> Evidently you've had my cooking before. :)
<BabyRain> Poor Bill.
<GMonkey> Poor, poor Bill.
<BabyRain> Bill, did you like Sarah?
<GMonkey> Here have some more pretzels.
<Billprest> Did I like Sarah?  How so?
<Billprest> Alright already with the pretzels.
<BabyRain> Like we like Jake. :)
<GMonkey> I believe the word is LUST. :)
<Billprest> No, not in the same fashion that you *like* Jake.
<BabyRain> I didn't lust.  I wanted to have a meaningful 
relationship with him. :)
<Billprest> Her character was a good one, and Caitlin did a great 
job.
<GMonkey> Uh huh.
<BabyRain> Did the Goose have autopilot?
<Billprest> No autopilot.
<GMonkey> I don't think they had autopilot back in 1938.
<Volterra> Hubby Dan is home. brb
<BabyRain> I thought Caitlin's performance in the pilot was 
fantastic.
<Billprest> Apparently they add a few hundred pounds to a plane.
<GMonkey> But, then again, they didn't have Flying Tigers either.
<Billprest> Caitlin in the pilot was good.
<BabyRain> Really?  Why so much?
<Billprest> I dunno.  I just report the news.
<Volterra> BR: I agree about Caitlin in pilot
<Billprest> Technically, they wouldn't have even had Gooses in 
1938.
<BabyRain> If Seattle Seaplanes knew what they were doing, they'd 
repaint it theway it was in the series.
<BabyRain> Gooses?
<BabyRain> Geese?
<Billprest> Grumman Geese
<Billprest> Trivia question - why are the called Canada Geese?
<Billprest> "they"
<GMonkey> According to the specs that came with the Harvey 
papers, Grumman introduced the Goose in 1937.
<BabyRain> ?
<BabyRain> Uh-oh.  Trivia war.
<Billprest> True.  But they take awhile to get onto the market, 
and the odds of one ending up in the Pacific, and written off 
as a wreck, would be slim indeed.
* Volterra should go now that Hubby Dan is home and attempt to do 
something with the frozenish chicken
<BabyRain> Stir fry it, Leanne.
<Billprest> Irradiate it.
<BabyRain> ?
<BabyRain> Irrigate it.
<Volterra> later all!
*** Volterra has quit IRC (Yes, we're together now!)
<BabyRain> Bye!
<BabyRain> I'm always too slow.
<GMonkey> Maybe it's time to call it a night, eh?
<Billprest> Some lady on the phone is trying to sell me the Rocky 
Mountain News.
<BabyRain> What do you think, Bill?
<Billprest> About the Rocky Mt. News?  Better than the Post.
<BabyRain> Tell her you'll buy it only if she steals the Monkey 
from DB.
<Billprest> (calls the lady back.  "Hey lady, if you steal Don 
Bellisario's monkey for some girl in Canada, I'll take your 
paper."
* BabyRain grins and is happy to be called a girl again
<GMonkey> Anything for a commission. :)
<Billprest> I thought "girl" was the accepted term here in  the 
TOTGM world.
<Billprest> Anyway, I think somebody motioned to adjourn.
<BabyRain> Oh, don't leave me. (sniff)
<GMonkey> It's getting to be that time again.
<BabyRain> I suppose.  I'd better go, too.
<Billprest> Gotta go home, eat dinner, and fool around with the 
TOTGM playset in the basement.
<GMonkey> Oh, and I won't be able to chat with you tomorrow 
morning, BR.  I've got a training class.
<BabyRain> Hey!  I want a picture of that, Bill.
<Billprest> Maybe so, Sabu.
<BabyRain> Oh, Patricia.  What'll I do?
<BabyRain> Seriously.  It sounds cool.
<GMonkey> Play with your monkey.
<BabyRain> I like playing with my monkey.
<Billprest> Okay.  I tried taking pictures, but I couldn't get 
the angles right, so I'll try again.
<Billprest> Oh and by the way, would you girls knock it off?
<BabyRain> Thanks, Bill.  It sounds really cool.
<BabyRain> What?
<GMonkey> Knock what off?
* BabyRain should take a picture of the monkey Patricia sent her 
for Christmas.
<Billprest> The monkey thing.  I'm thinking there's some hidden 
meaning.
<GMonkey> That would go great with the WAV file.
<GMonkey> I could upload the picture and link it to the Monkey 
Call.
<BabyRain> No.  It's just a stuffed monkey that makes a monkey 
noise.  Didn't you read about it on the bulletin board?
<GMonkey> Bill!!!!  I'm shocked!!!
<Billprest> Oh, the Christmas monkey!
<BabyRain> What were you thinking, Bill?
<Billprest> Ahem... we should probably call it a night.
<GMonkey> I guess so.
<BabyRain> (heavy sigh)  Okay.
<GMonkey> Same time next week?
<Billprest> Sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite.
<BabyRain> Sounds good to me.  Can you come, Bill?
<Billprest> Warum nicht?
<BabyRain> Good.
<GMonkey> Okay, see ya next Tuesday.
<GMonkey> Later!
<BabyRain> Bye!
<Billprest> I'll try to be there.  Tell me again what time it 
starts, Mountain Standard Time.
<BabyRain> 5?
<GMonkey> 4 pm
<BabyRain> 4
<Billprest> Oh, 4:00!
<Billprest> Got it!
<GMonkey> 6 Eastern, 5 Central, 4 Mountain, 3 Pacific
<GMonkey> 7 Atlantic
<BabyRain> and 7 Atlantic
<BabyRain> :)
<GMonkey> JINX!
<Billprest> Au revoir to the province of New Brunswick, and 
Boston, the cradle of democracy.
<BabyRain> I'm much too mature for jinxes
<GMonkey> Fine, be that way, baby! :0
<BabyRain> A bientot, mon ami!
<GMonkey> Good night!
