<Billprest> Patricia!
<GMonkey> Howdy, Bill!
*** GMonkey changes topic to "Monkey, Monkey, Monkey!"
<Billprest> Zatchoo?
<GMonkey> I think we have a definite lag.
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o Billprest
-> [Billprest] PING
<GMonkey> Well, 4 secs.
<GMonkey> How goes it?
<Billprest> Getting on AOL this time of night is interesting.  I 
think everybody on the east coast logs on.
<Billprest> I'm fine.  Eh vous?
*** BabyRain (babyrain@stjhts03c35.nbnet.nb.ca) has joined #TOTGM
<GMonkey> Hi, BR!
<BabyRain> Hi, all.
<Billprest> Karen!
<GMonkey> I just sent you and email telling you that we're open.
<BabyRain> How goes it?
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o BabyRain
<BabyRain> Thanks!  And thanks! :)
<GMonkey> Is your migraine going away?
-> [BabyRain] PING
<BabyRain> It's not so bad if I stay still.  It was bad on the 
bus on the way home, though.  I had to ask Tony to stop the 
bus for a minute.
<GMonkey> You can do that?!
<BabyRain> I have that effect on men.
<GMonkey> Yes, we all saw your effect on Tom. :)
<BabyRain> What can I say? :)
<BabyRain> Bill, how have you been
<BabyRain> ?
<GMonkey> Now, Bill, see what you miss when you don't show up for 
the weekend chats.
<BabyRain> Bill, did you read the log from Saturday?
<GMonkey> BTW, folks, I've got some good news, I hope.
<BabyRain> What?
<GMonkey> I found someone who can give me "better" copies of the 
middle 11 episodes.
<GMonkey> Actually 10 of those 11.
<Billprest> I'm fine.  Hey, I'm working, so my typing my be 
disjointed, convoluted, and not well thought out from time to 
time.  You're thinking maybe, "What's new?"
<BabyRain> Really?  That's great!
<GMonkey> He inquired about getting a copy of Lady and the Tiger 
and he mentioned that he had all the other episodes.
<Billprest> Better copies?  Woweee!
<BabyRain> Poor Bill. :)
<GMonkey> Many of those he taped originally from ABC.
* BabyRain is bouncing
<Billprest> We watched "Ape Boy" last night, and my tape is 
starting to waver.
<Billprest> And yes, I did read the log from Saturday.
<BabyRain> Oh.
<GMonkey> I don't know how good his copies are, but I'm sending 
him a copy of L&T and $20 for those 10 eps.
<GMonkey> Not a bad buy, don'tcha think?
<Billprest> Talking about Tom?
<BabyRain> Sounds good to me.  You'll bring them up in April, 
right? :)
<GMonkey> He said he had the teasers, opening and closing credits 
and maybe, a few of the original commercials!
<BabyRain> I'm confused, Bill.
<GMonkey> Those would be a hoot to see.
<GMonkey> If you're nice to me, Babyrain, I'll mail copies to you 
before April.
<BabyRain> My all-time favourite commercial was the Wendy's "heat 
rack" one.
<BabyRain> I'm always nice to you, Monkey Woman. :)
<Billprest> Karen - what are you confused about?
<GMonkey> Besides, I don't want to have to declare the tapes to 
Customs at the border.
<BabyRain> Where you asking if we talked about Tom, or if we are 
currently talking about Tom.
* BabyRain has a fried brain at the moment and can
<Billprest> About Tom.  BRB
<BabyRain> not even type right
<BabyRain> Huh?
<BabyRain> MW, is it just me?
<GMonkey> No, not just you.
<GMonkey> Must be *very* cold in Colorado. :)
<BabyRain> Itt's chilly here.
<GMonkey> Anyway, I'll let you know if the tapes I get are good 
enough for you. :)
<BabyRain> I haven't gotten your email yet.
<GMonkey> Well, I didn't say much in it anyway.
<BabyRain> Okay, thanks!  I appreciate it!  That'll be the whole 
collection, won't it?
<GMonkey> I'll have to give you a so-so copy of The Lady and the 
Tiger, but then you'll have the whole show!
<BabyRain> I'm so excited!!!
<GMonkey> Unless you want Curse at the Gold Monkey? :)
<BabyRain> And to think I thought I'd never see the show again!
<BabyRain> No, that's okay.  I can make my own. :)
<GMonkey> No you can't.  You'd have to get the guys to dub stupid 
dialogue for you. :)
<BabyRain> I'll make up my own and have my dog read the lines.
<GMonkey> Well, it's 6 o'clock.
<GMonkey> Where's Leanne?
<BabyRain> Do you know where your Monkiacs are?
<GMonkey> BTW, did Les ever contact you after last Tuesday?
<BabyRain> No.  Haven't heard boo from him.
<BabyRain> You?
<GMonkey> Hmmm..neither have I. :(
<BabyRain> :(
<BabyRain> I hope he's doing okay.
<GMonkey> I hope so too.
<Billprest> Okay friends, I'm back.
<GMonkey> Where'd ya run off to, pardner?
<BabyRain> Hi, Bill.  We missed you.
* BabyRain opens up her DP
* GMonkey is all out of DP
* GMonkey is trying to cut back
* BabyRain uuencodes some and sends it
<Billprest> Thanks for the kind sentiment.  I had to go paste up 
an original to shoot a plate from, to put on the press, to 
make our customers happy, to make the world a better place.
<GMonkey> As long as you were working towards world peace. :)
<Billprest> A great journey starts with one small step.
<BabyRain> Bill, you are my hero.
<BabyRain> What if you have big feet?
<Billprest> Aw shucks, just a man doin' his job.
<Billprest> Mine are size 11.
<GMonkey> I'm going to e-mail Leanne.  brb
<BabyRain> Mine are size ten.
<Billprest> Is that ladies size 10?
<BabyRain> Gee, Bill -- now's our chase to take over onkeydom! :)
<BabyRain> Yes, that's ladies.
<Billprest> Coup de etat!
<BabyRain> I'll start. :)
*** BabyRain sets mode: -o GMonkey
<BabyRain> Heheheh. :)
<BabyRain> What next?
<Billprest> You be dictator, I'll be emperor.
<BabyRain> Okay.
<Billprest> Let's make laws.
<GMonkey> BABYRAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
<Billprest> Free Diet Pepsi for life!
<GMonkey> DO YOU WANT THOSE TAPES??!!!!!!!!
<Billprest> Oops.  Our little rebellion dies aborning.
<BabyRain> Law #1 - ABC Weenies must turn over the twit who 
lowered the boom.
*** BabyRain sets mode: +o GMonkey
<BabyRain> I
<BabyRain> am
<BabyRain> so
<GMonkey> That's better.
<BabyRain> weak
<GMonkey> That's okay, Smurfette. :)
<Billprest> Can I speak from the heart here?
*** BabyRain is now known as Smurfette
<Smurfette> Go ahead, Bill.
<GMonkey> You have my permission. :)
<Billprest> I think it's kinda neat the friendship you girls have 
developed as a result of the Monkey page.  I don't want to 
sound cloying, so I'll just say it's neat.
<Smurfette> I think it's pretty neat, too. :)
<Billprest> And everyone was a bit harsh on Karen for the Smurf 
thing.
<Smurfette> I'm going to change my nick back.  I like it better 
on top.
*** Smurfette is now known as BabyRain
<GMonkey> I'll let Tom know that. ;)
<BabyRain> Thanks, Bill.  But they weren't that cruel.  Not in 
the chat, anyway.
<BabyRain> Tom reads the logs, remember? :)
<GMonkey> That's true.
<BabyRain> I was kind of hoping he'd be here.
<GMonkey> He could stop by later.
<GMonkey> Remember, he showed up later on Saturday.
<BabyRain> Hope so.  He signed his email to me with "talk to you 
soon", so it's a possibility (or merely a figure of speech)
<Billprest> He sure likes cowboying, doesn't he.
<Billprest> And who can blame him?
<BabyRain> I'd love to have horses.
<BabyRain> So, guys, any word on who's buying the Goose?
<Billprest> Oh my yes.
<Billprest> Someday I hope to.
<GMonkey> I guess it's nobody we know. :(
<Billprest> Which Goose?  The one in Seattle, or the little one 
in my basement?
<BabyRain> The Seattle one.
* BabyRain still wants to see Bill's Boragora
<Billprest> Actually it's not Boragora.  It's the enchanted, 
pleasant little island of Mori.
<Billprest> It's the next island over from Boragora, if you're 
looking at a map.
<BabyRain> Oh.  My mistake.  But can I still see it?
<Billprest> Yes you can.  I took pictures.
<BabyRain> Cool. :)
<GMonkey> So where is everybody else?
<BabyRain> I was loking at a picture of Tahiti today while at 
work.
<BabyRain> Pretty cool.
<Billprest> Nice looking place, I'm thinking.
<BabyRain> I like the coral reef around it
<Billprest> I just got done reading a book that had a lot of 
material on the South Pacific.
<BabyRain> what was the book called?
<Billprest> "Return to Paradise" by James Michener, circa 1957
<BabyRain> Doug (my husband) like Michener.  He might even have 
the book around here somewhere.
* BabyRain has cold hands and that's why she's missing letters 
while typing
<GMonkey> I have "Tales of the South Pacific" packed in a box 
downstairs somewhere.
<GMonkey> I'd start singing "Some Enchanted Evening", but LaLa 
wouldn't approve.
<Billprest> TOTSP has a lot of inside South Pacific stuff.  It's 
not much like the musical.
<Billprest> No, go ahead.
<Billprest> Feel free to use Emile Debeque's French vocal 
inflections.
<GMonkey> Never mind.  I'm very respectful towards our fallen 
comrade.
<Billprest> Fallen comrade?
<BabyRain> LaLa.
<GMonkey> She can't make it to our chats for a while.
<Billprest> What do you mean, Fallen?
<GMonkey> She has a part time job on Tuesdays...
* BabyRain waves to LaLa as she reads the log.
<GMonkey> And the Medford campus won't normally be open on 
Saturdays this semester.
<GMonkey> We're Lesleyless!
<BabyRain> Do you Americans have Bugles?
<Billprest> Alas!  Alackaday!
<GMonkey> The instrument or the snack food?
<Billprest> Bugles the snack?
<BabyRain> both
<GMonkey> both :)
<Billprest> Yes and yes
<BabyRain> We just started gettting the ranch ones here
<Billprest> I haven't had the snack in decades, and I don't 
really miss them.
<GMonkey> Never a big fan, I must admit.
<BabyRain> Fighting over Bugles is one of my running jokes with 
my dad
<GMonkey> But speaking of snacks, I have some ginger snaps 
downstairs calling my name.
<Billprest> Karen - do your folks live in New Brunswick?
<BabyRain> My dad does, Bill.  My mom's in Nova Scotia.
<Billprest> I see.  Do you stay in contact with both?
<BabyRain> I'm closer to my mom, but not really close with either 
of them.
<Billprest> Brothers & sisters?
<BabyRain> One and a half sisters
<BabyRain> :)
<GMonkey> The one being the original owner of the smurf? :)
<BabyRain> Yes.  My full sister lives in Nova Scotia with my mom. 
 I think she still has the Smurf somewhere.
<GMonkey> The Smurf still lives?!!!
<BabyRain> My half-sister was too young to remember TOTGM
<BabyRain> I haven't seen the smurf in a long time, but it 
wouldn't surprise me.  Krista likes to keep things packed 
away.
<GMonkey> Now exactly how big was this blue guy? :)
<BabyRain> About three and a half feet tall, I think.  Maybe even 
four.
<GMonkey> WOW!  That *is* big!
<BabyRain> Big enough to take up a whole seat on our trip to 
Ottawa one Christmas.
<GMonkey> He was still smaller than Jake, though.
<BabyRain> Depends on what you're talking about.
<BabyRain> His eyes were bigger.
<GMonkey> Were you really interested in Jake's *eyes*? :)
<BabyRain> Jake has beautiful eyes.
<GMonkey> Is that what you noticed first though?
<BabyRain> No.  I noticed the hat first.
<GMonkey> Ah, yes the hat.  You know, Baloo has an identical hat 
in Tale Spin.
<BabyRain> Poor Bill.  He always finds us in this conversation. 
:)
<GMonkey> Except his is dark brown.
<BabyRain> Baloo?
<GMonkey> Baloo the Bear.
<BabyRain> ?
<GMonkey> Don't you get Disney cartoons up there?
<BabyRain> Probably ... but I don't think I've seen this one.
<GMonkey> It's a cartoon series from the early 90s.
<BabyRain> I miss Kissyfur.
<GMonkey> It's set in the South Pacific.
*** Billprest has quit IRC (irc.primenet.com irc.blackened.com)
<GMonkey> Oh dear, we drove him away!
<BabyRain> Where did Bill go?
<GMonkey> He probably had to save the world.
<BabyRain> I tried to bring him back in. :(
<GMonkey> He's still at work, you know.
<BabyRain> Oh.  Right.
<GMonkey> I tried too.  That's why I changed the topic to Tale 
Spin.
<BabyRain> Does he like Tales Spin?
<GMonkey> Anyway, see if this cartoon doesn't sound familiar.
<GMonkey> I don't know.
<GMonkey> First, the show is set in the South Pacific.
* BabyRain nods.
<GMonkey> Baloo flies a beat up cargo plane named the Sea Duck.
<BabyRain> !
<GMonkey> The plane is referred to as the Duck for short.
<BabyRain> hahaha!
<GMonkey> He has a childlike mechanic/co-pilot named Wildcat.

<BabyRain> BILL!
<GMonkey> What the heck?!
<BabyRain> What happened?
<GMonkey> Bill?
-> [Billprest] PING
<GMonkey> I'm not getting a reply to my ping.
<GMonkey> He's like Koji's sister.
<GMonkey> Here but not here.  Seen but not seen.  Nothing.
<BabyRain> Weird.
<BabyRain> Well, you left off at Corky err Wildcat
<GMonkey> In Baloo's off time, he hangs out at this exotic club.  
Can't be a bar.  It's a Disney cartoon.
<GMonkey> Looks a heck of a lot like the Monkey Bar though.
<BabyRain> I bet!
<GMonkey> And it's owned and operated by Louie.
<BabyRain> GO AWAY!
* BabyRain is laughing
<GMonkey> Yep, Louie the Orangutan from Jungle Book.
<BabyRain> A monkey
<GMonkey> They replace Roddy McDowall with an ape!!! :)
<BabyRain> How appropriate
<GMonkey> Baloo and his friends get involved in adventures like 
finding a temple that houses the Idol of Doom.
<BabyRain> Is this cartoon available on video?
<GMonkey> I think so.
<GMonkey> It's a series, but some episodes are available.
<BabyRain> I'll have to look.
<GMonkey> Maybe I'll send you some tapes for your birthday.
<GMonkey> Of course, if I got the Disney Channel, I could tape 
them for free.
<BabyRain> I don't think we can get the Disney channel up here.
<Billprest> Now I feel bad.
<Billprest> Was it something I said?
<GMonkey> Bill!
<GMonkey> Are you really there, Bill?
<BabyRain> Bill?  What happened?
<BabyRain> BILL!
<GMonkey> Oh, Bill.
<Billprest> I was here, you all weren't.
<BabyRain> Net split.
<Billprest> Poof. Gone.  Zapped.  
<Billprest> Yes - 
<BabyRain> When you read the log, Bill, you'll see what we saw.
<GMonkey> So now what?
<GMonkey> Where is everybody else?!
<GMonkey> Monkey Woman doesn't like to be ignored by her 
subjects.
-> [BabyRain] PING

<GMonkey> YIKES!!!
<GMonkey> Bill has a 475 second lag!!!
<Billprest> Patricia?
<Billprest> Hey!
<Billprest> Double hey.
<Billprest> Hey, do you girls read me?

<Billprest> My worst fears.  Lost in cyberspace.

<GMonkey> How's Jake doing? :)
<Mar> Long time no hear
*** Billprest has quit IRC (Leaving)
<GMonkey> Oh dear, we just keep losing them.
<BabyRain> Mar, have we met?
<GMonkey> Maybe this wasn't the best night for you to join us, 
Marilyn.
<GMonkey> You remember Marilyn, don't you, Karen?
<BabyRain> I think so. :)
<GMonkey> The woman with the fanzines.
<BabyRain> Right.  Now I remember.

<Billprest> Hey, are you reading me now?

<MonkeyWmn> Did everybody leave or get kicked off?
<Billprest> Hey Patricia!
<MonkeyWmn> I still think we're lagging.
<Billprest> I'm seeing what you're typing, but where are you?
<MonkeyWmn> What do you mean?
<Billprest> Patricia - I read you loud & clear, but slow.  Are 
you reading this?

<MonkeyWmn> Hey!
*** Now talking in #TOTGM
<BabyRain> Sorry -- I'm playing a tape -- couldn't hear the ding. 
:)
*** BabyRain sets mode: +o MonkeyWmn
<MonkeyWmn> That's okay.
<MonkeyWmn> Thank you.
<MonkeyWmn> GMonkey has been taken again.
<MonkeyWmn> The guy's in #cybersex #100%collegegirlssexpics
<MonkeyWmn> YUCKY!  He's denegrating my name!!!
<BabyRain> He's slime. :(
<MonkeyWmn> Let's get him!!!!!
<BabyRain> With what?
<MonkeyWmn> So, why "Play it again, Corky"?
<BabyRain> I know!  I'll hit him with my Smurf! :)
<BabyRain> Well, I was going to put "Play it again, Sam", but ...
<MonkeyWmn> No!  You love that smurf.  You *really* love that 
smurf. :)
<MonkeyWmn> I just thought that you thought that Jeff was coming.
<BabyRain> I do not. :)
<BabyRain> Maybe I'm trying to conjure him.
<MonkeyWmn> Any little bit helps.
<BabyRain> Have you heard grom anyone?
<BabyRain> from?
<MonkeyWmn> Oh, bad news...LaLa can't make it.
<BabyRain> WAAAAAAHHHH!
<MonkeyWmn> She pulled strings to come yesterday, but won't feel 
right doing it today.
<BabyRain> Did Bahb beat her up because of my bday message?
<MonkeyWmn> Now, now, stop crying.
<MonkeyWmn> No.  I think he liked it.
<MonkeyWmn> Bill and Leanne both said they'd be here.
<BabyRain> Even the part about playing with his snake?
<MonkeyWmn> Well, actually Fred's not his snake.
<BabyRain> LaLa said to be cruel.
<MonkeyWmn> He belongs to someone else.
<MonkeyWmn> LaLa just used to borrow him.
<BabyRain> Oh.  Oops.
<MonkeyWmn> BTW, if LaLa told you to jump off a bridge, would you 
do that too? :)
* MonkeyWmn already knows the answer to that
<BabyRain> No.  But I have to respect my elders.  Even Bahb said 
so. :)
<MonkeyWmn> He probably figures it's best to humor LaLa's 
friends. :)
<MonkeyWmn> BTW, did Tom say if he was going to try to pop in 
tonight?
<BabyRain> Tom didn't say. :(  I hope he can come.
<MonkeyWmn> Did you tell him that you were going to be here and 
that you were naked? ;)
<BabyRain> I should have thought of that! :)
<MonkeyWmn> Tsk, tsk, tsk.  You're slipping, girl! :)
<BabyRain> I must be.
<MonkeyWmn> How's your cold?
<BabyRain> He did say he would try to make the chats, especially 
if the sultry one would be there. :)
<BabyRain> My cold is mostly gone -- just enough left to be 
annoying.
<MonkeyWmn> That's good to hear.
<MonkeyWmn> How about Doug's cold?
<MonkeyWmn> Wouldn't want him to get a chest cold. :)
<BabyRain> He has a headache tonight, but the cold seems tohave 
changed its mind.
<MonkeyWmn> A headache?  A likely story. :)
<MonkeyWmn> Maybe he knows of your dalliance with the cowboy. :)
<BabyRain> I'm not dallying with anybody! Not even my smurf! :)
<MonkeyWmn> You're not even dallying with Doug?
<BabyRain> Nope.  He has a headache.
<MonkeyWmn> A headache?  A likely story. :)
<BabyRain> I'm soooo loooonely ...
* BabyRain heaves a great sigh
<MonkeyWmn> *You're* lonely?!!!  What about me??!!!!
<MonkeyWmn> I don't even have a FC to play with once in a while.
<BabyRain> Somehow it's worse for me.  
<MonkeyWmn> Why?
<BabyRain> It's worse seeing the FC and not being allowed to 
touch.
<BabyRain> It drives me cwazy.
<MonkeyWmn> At least you get to see.
<MonkeyWmn> Me got nothin'. :(
* MonkeyWmn seeks a MonkeyMan!
<BabyRain> I think not seeing would be better.  Less turmoil that 
way.
<MonkeyWmn> Well, what shall we chat about tonight?
*** BabyRain changes topic to "Talk the Monkey Gathering"
<MonkeyWmn> Gayle is sending me a menu and a plan for the 
restaurant.
<MonkeyWmn> I'll post what I can when I get it.
<BabyRain> Okay.
<BabyRain> I bought my lottery ticket for tonight.  Ten million 
dollars.
<MonkeyWmn> You better win!
<BabyRain> I don't know how I'll get to LA otherwise.
* MonkeyWmn wipes away a tear
<BabyRain> How about I take the bus down to Boston and fly out 
with you?
<MonkeyWmn> You have to come!  You just have to!!!
<MonkeyWmn> Okey dokey!
<BabyRain> I know!  I just don't know how. :(
<BabyRain> The air fare would be a heck of a lot cheaper for me 
if I flew out of boston or even bangor.
<MonkeyWmn> We'll find a way or my name's not Monkey Woman!
<MonkeyWmn> Boston is probably the cheapest.
* BabyRain doesn't want Pat to haul out her ID
<MonkeyWmn> Or maybe even Providence.
<BabyRain> I would think.  I just have to get there.  How big is 
Boston?
<MonkeyWmn> BIG!!!!
<BabyRain> Population?
<MonkeyWmn> In Boston proper, about 500-600,000.  In the metro 
area, around 3 million.
<BabyRain> Yikes!
<MonkeyWmn> I told you it was big!
<BabyRain> And I thought LA would be the only scary part.
* BabyRain is terrified of LA
<MonkeyWmn> Sixth largest metropolitan area in the country.
<MonkeyWmn> LA won't bite. :)
<MonkeyWmn> Besides, we're going to Van Nuys.
<BabyRain> No, they'll just shoot me on the freeway
<BabyRain> Last I checked, Van Nuys didn't have an airport
<MonkeyWmn> Well, you fly into LAX, but we'll drive up to Van 
Nuys.
<MonkeyWmn> It's not that far.

<Volterra> How do we all this day?
<MonkeyWmn> Those weenies!!
<BabyRain> What are you at?
<MonkeyWmn> English!!  Speak English!!! :)
<BabyRain> I am!
<Volterra> I'm speaking English, ain't I, mum?
* BabyRain wonders how MW would fare in Newfoundland.
<MonkeyWmn> I ain't goin' to Newfoundland.  Am I? :)
<BabyRain> No.  Not unless you take a lot of time off. :)
<MonkeyWmn> You're not thinking of transporting me across 
provincial borders, are you?
<MonkeyWmn> I believe that's illegal. :)
<Volterra> So BR: you've got 7th Heaven at last, eh?
* BabyRain has never been to Newfoundland.
* Volterra can speak Canadian too.
<BabyRain> Yes!  I watched it last night!
<BabyRain> Experiencing a little lag.
<MonkeyWmn> Maybe Leanne's just tired.
<MonkeyWmn> I hope this isn't happening again!
<MonkeyWmn> I don't want another repeat of last night.
<BabyRain> I hope it'll be okay.
<Volterra> But I'm on the same server, ain't I?
* Volterra can speak Canadian too.

<BabyRain> We're all on the same server, but it takes eight 
seconds for me to ping either one of you.
<Volterra> So, who are we expecting today?
<BabyRain> Is Bill coming?
<MonkeyWmn> Bill's the only other person who said they'd come.
<Volterra> But I'm on the same server, ain't I?
<MonkeyWmn> Well, Tom and Les.  Still no word of any kind from

<BabyRain> I have no idea.  I'm starting to really worry.

<MonkeyWmn> I'm not really waiting for you.  I'm still really 
busy and haven't had time to format those stories.
<BabyRain> brb
<MonkeyWmn> It's such a daunting task.
<Volterra> oh good. because I haven't rescanned it yet.
<MonkeyWmn> I just hope I have enough FTP space to load 
everything.

<MonkeyWmn> So any word on the temp job yet?
<Volterra> not yet.
<BabyRain> MW, when are we flying out?  Fri or Sat?
* MonkeyWmn keeps her fingers crossed
<Volterra> I have about 4 agencies looking out for me now ...
<MonkeyWmn> Friday.
<Volterra> flying out where?
<MonkeyWmn> To the gathering.
<BabyRain> Morning, aft, or evening?
<MonkeyWmn> Some of us have to fly.
<BabyRain> LA
<Volterra> oh
<BabyRain> If I win the lottery, I'll pay for the transportation.
<MonkeyWmn> I'd say late morning/early afternoon so we can arrive 
by evening.
<Volterra> I haven't thought any more about that either... I 
*really* have to call Gayle
<BabyRain> I like 7th Heaven
<Volterra> It's very cute
<BabyRain> I like the dog
<MonkeyWmn> I knew you'd like Happy. :)
<MonkeyWmn> I'm partial to Simon, the smart aleck.
<BabyRain> It's also very disconcerting, lusting after a 
minister. :)
<MonkeyWmn> Me like wiseguys. :)
<Volterra> I like Simon too ...  he's a old soul :)
<MonkeyWmn> Though I don't lust after the kid.  The adult, on the 
other hand... :)
<Volterra> uh huh ...
<BabyRain> I like his shoes.
<BabyRain> Was it the pilot I saw, Patricia?
<MonkeyWmn> Yes, it was, BR.
<Volterra> The actress who plays his wife (mind has gone blank) 
was in a Star Trek movie too
<MonkeyWmn> Who's shoes do you like?
<BabyRain> Do the shows run in sequence?
<MonkeyWmn> I hope so.
<BabyRain> Eric's.
<MonkeyWmn> They have here.
<MonkeyWmn> Watch out for Eric's shoes in the next episode.
<BabyRain> Volterra -- yeah, she was in the one with the whales
<MonkeyWmn> They play an important role.
<BabyRain> You're kidding.
* Volterra grins
<MonkeyWmn> Nope.  I don't want to ruin it, but...
* BabyRain really, really hates referring to SC as Eric.  It 
gives her the willies.
<MonkeyWmn> Trust me or do you want me to tell you the plot?
<BabyRain> but?
<BabyRain> Tell me.
<MonkeyWmn> Oh okay, but only because it's a subplot.
<MonkeyWmn> Happy starts chewing up all of Eric's shoes, so Simon 
hides them under his bed.
<MonkeyWmn> It's a running joke throughout the episode.
<BabyRain> HA!
<MonkeyWmn> Poor shoeless Eric. :)
<BabyRain> Kind of like the girl always running away screaming 
from him in the pilot?
<MonkeyWmn> Not like dogs *ever* chew shoes.  Right, Pepsi? :)
<MonkeyWmn> Yes, she's very emotional throughout the show.
<BabyRain> Pepsi chewed two shoes.  One from each different pair.
<BabyRain> What are the kids' names?
<MonkeyWmn> Expensive shoes?  Dogs like the taste of expensive 
shoes. :)
<MonkeyWmn> In order, Matt, Mary, Lucy, Simon and Ruthie.
<BabyRain> Thank you.
<MonkeyWmn> No problem. :)
<BabyRain> So, we're flying out in the morning.  Where are we 
staying?
<MonkeyWmn> We're still looking into the hotel situation.
<MonkeyWmn> Right, Leanne?
<BabyRain> Okay.
<MonkeyWmn> Leanne???
<Volterra> right
<MonkeyWmn> Oh, there you are.  I thought we lost you.
<Volterra> somewhere cheap and close to where we wanna be
<Volterra> nope, I'm here
<BabyRain> We're a little paranoid after last night.
<BabyRain> So what activities are we planning?
<MonkeyWmn> Let's see.  There's the dinner on Saturday night.
<Volterra> possibly even close to the restaurant so we can walk 
there and back
<Volterra> a Sarah Singalong Contest :)
<BabyRain> Walk?  In LA?
<MonkeyWmn> Perhaps on Saturday morning/afternoon, we can go on 
the Universal tour.
<BabyRain> Hahaha!  I want to enter that.
<MonkeyWmn> We'll be walking in Van Nuys.
<Volterra> it's not *that* bad ... and we'll be in a group after 
all
<BabyRain> Is Boragora still there?
<MonkeyWmn> I hope so.  We'll ask before we decide to go.
* BabyRain is a paranoid little pacifistic Canadian
<BabyRain> Is the Universal Tour on the net?
<Volterra> and if we get a "meeting" room, we can watch videos
<MonkeyWmn> I've never seen it.
<Volterra> BR: sort of. they have a map
<MonkeyWmn> But if it is, they probably only mention the big 
attractions. :(
<BabyRain> I wrote to Seattle Seaplanes today, just in case I win 
the lottery.
<BabyRain> I'll be so upset if we lose the Goose.
<MonkeyWmn> Yes, we have to watch videos and everybody's required 
to make comments.
<Volterra> :)
<BabyRain> What sort of comments?
* BabyRain is picturing the comments when half-naked Jake struts 
across the screen
<MonkeyWmn> Remember the comments we were making in our phone 
conversation when you were watching Shanghaied?
<MonkeyWmn> Like that!
<BabyRain> Oh no! :)
<MonkeyWmn> You loved it.  You know you loved it! :)
<BabyRain> What else are we going to do?
<MonkeyWmn> I've never watched GM with a whole group of people.  
This should be fun.
<MonkeyWmn> Should we have a party/dance on Sunday night?
<BabyRain> Yeah.  I wonder who all will be there.
<MonkeyWmn> I hope it's more than just a handful of us.
<MonkeyWmn> I think once the ball really gets rolling, more 
people will sign on.
<BabyRain> Do you think we'll make ET? :)
<MonkeyWmn> Uh...no!
<BabyRain> Especially people from that area
<MonkeyWmn> I wonder where Bill is.
<BabyRain> No idea.  Must be playing with his TotGM diorama

<BabyRain> Maybe it was an isolated incident.
<MonkeyWmn> Let's hope so.
<BabyRain> I don't know about a party/dance.
<MonkeyWmn> What's wrong with a party?
<BabyRain> I don't know if Doug is coming with me.
<MonkeyWmn> It can be a '30s theme party.
<BabyRain> I'd feel kind of awkward without him.
<MonkeyWmn> It's not a makeout party.
<MonkeyWmn> It's a party like a chat party.
<BabyRain> You said dance.
<MonkeyWmn> You'll be too pregnant to dance anyway. :)
<BabyRain> Party would be okay.
<BabyRain> Hahaha.  Let's not count those chickens just yet. :)
<MonkeyWmn> Well, we could play '30 music and if people feel like 
dancing, they can.
<BabyRain> You do realize that I might have morning sickness in 
April? :)
<BabyRain> I don't know if I can name much 30s music.
<MonkeyWmn> Gee, I get to drive all that way just to see you 
barf.  FUN! :)
<BabyRain> :)
<MonkeyWmn> We'll play Gershwin, Cole Porter, etc.
<BabyRain> Okay.
<MonkeyWmn> I'm sure there are plenty of 1930s CD compliations 
out there.
<BabyRain> CDs are cheaper down there, aren't they?
<MonkeyWmn> Yep.  Average price around $12.
<MonkeyWmn> But those 30s compliations might even be cheaper.
<BabyRain> Okay.
<BabyRain> I'll put on something slinky and ssing for the masses
<MonkeyWmn> You go, girl! :)
<MonkeyWmn> Oh dear.  I wonder if Leanne can get back on.
<BabyRain> It might just be the fishy song. :)
<MonkeyWmn> If nobody else gets here in the next 20 minutes, 
let's call it a night.
<MonkeyWmn> I'll just combine this log with yesterday's.
<BabyRain> Okay. (sniff)
<MonkeyWmn> Maybe we should start thinking of using another 
server.
<BabyRain> I'll get to the Monkey Gathering somehow.
<MonkeyWmn> You better.
<BabyRain> Actually, the other nets are worse than this.
<MonkeyWmn> Egad!!!
<BabyRain> I'll be chatting on DALnet later tonight.  I'll let yo 
know.
<MonkeyWmn> Thanks.
<MonkeyWmn> So...now what?
<BabyRain> Ummmm ... well, we could make up all sorts of neat 
gossip andsee what happens.
<MonkeyWmn> You start.
<BabyRain> The BB is kinda slow, isn't it?
<MonkeyWmn> I couldn't upload the board today.  %^#$)#$% AOL!
<BabyRain> Here comes Leanne
<MonkeyWmn> Yeah!
<BabyRain> I think

<MonkeyWmn> Still haven't gotten it yet, but when I do, I'll 
ignore it. :)
<Volterra> do you think we can find another server than primenet?
<MonkeyWmn> I suppose.  They were so good in the beginning, 
though.
<Volterra> well if it's starting to du,mp people for no apparent

<Volterra> so what did I miss?
<MonkeyWmn> Nothing much.
<BabyRain> Not a whole lot.
<BabyRain> We were just dumping on Lois and Clark.
<MonkeyWmn> Shhhhhhhhh!!!
<BabyRain> ;)
<Volterra> :P
<MonkeyWmn> What do you think about a '30s party/dance on Sunday 
night of the Gathering?
<Volterra> which reminds me I have to write to TPTB and have a 
whinge

<BabyRain> The blues I can't looose when it raaaaaaaaaaaains ...

need to go back home on Sunday night?
<MonkeyWmn> Now, now, ladies. :)
<MonkeyWmn> Will you?  I was going to leave on Monday morning.
<BabyRain> I think I'll stay there
<Volterra> don't know, I guess we could leave Monday morning
* Volterra is having trouble typing.
<Volterra> so BR: bringing your smurf?
<BabyRain> No.  I'm not bringing the Smurf. :)
<BabyRain> La-La-lala-lala-La-La-La-La-Laaaaaa
<MonkeyWmn> Stop calling out for LaLa.  I told you she couldn't 
make it.
<Volterra> anyway what else could we do? generic LA sightseeing?
<BabyRain> What is there to do?
<BabyRain> Where are all the footprints?
<MonkeyWmn> Why, Lucy?  Are you and Ethel going to steal John 
Wayne's footprints? :)
<BabyRain> Only if you're Ethel. :)
<Volterra> there's Catalina Island -- a complete day trip
<MonkeyWmn> Hey, I just got a great idea!!
<BabyRain> What?
<MonkeyWmn> We could put on our own TOTGM show.
<Volterra> the Mann chinese theatre ... they're really there too
<BabyRain> HUH?
<MonkeyWmn> We could either write our own script...
<Volterra> although he signed them differently
<MonkeyWmn> or use one of the unproduced ones.
<Volterra> yes! a parody!
<Volterra> or we could do BR's fanfic :) *griN*
<BabyRain> I think I'll be doing some rewrites, then. :)
<MonkeyWmn> Only if SC shows up to play Jake. *VBG*
<BabyRain> I'll *definitely* be doing some rewrites ...
<MonkeyWmn> So I guess we'll be writing our own script.
<BabyRain> (sniff)
<MonkeyWmn> Babyrain can be head writer.
<BabyRain> Okay. :)
<Volterra> last year at LAFF, some people wrote a parody about 
the fans searching for the "Lois & Clark" bible and thus 
taking control of the show ....
<Volterra> we could "Search for the Gold Monkey" which 
mysteriously disappears from DB's office?
<BabyRain> GET THE MONKEY!!!!!
* BabyRain feels inspired
<BabyRain> Tom says to write what you have a passion for ...
<MonkeyWmn> Hmmm...who gets to play what roles?
<Volterra> cool :)
<BabyRain> Can I be Karen?
<MonkeyWmn> I don't know if they'll be enough men to play the 
macho roles.
<Volterra> Wouldn't it be more fun to play someone other than 
ourselves?
<BabyRain> Do you think Don will want a part? :)
* Volterra will bring charcoal for the beard then
<MonkeyWmn> Maybe Jake can crash the Goose on an island inhabited 
by Amazons.
<Volterra> and we'll need time for rehearsals beforehand.
<BabyRain> I'm not chopping off my breast for this, sweetie. :)
<MonkeyWmn> They decide to make Jake their love slave. :)
<BabyRain> I'm dedicated, but not *that* dedicated. :)
<MonkeyWmn> Two breated Amazons, like Wonder Woman. :)
<MonkeyWmn> breasted, ya know. :)
<BabyRain> Love slave?
<Volterra> MW You're *really* hoping SC comes to this aren't you 
:)
<BabyRain> Hmmm ....
<BabyRain> I'm kind of glad we have no indication that he reads 
these logs. :)
<MonkeyWmn> Well, he did say he'd love to play the role again. :)
<BabyRain> HAHAHA!
<MonkeyWmn> So, do you have any other suggestions, Head Writer?
<BabyRain> I think we need a love story between Lesley and Corky.
<Volterra> I say we mesh the two ideas together :)
<BabyRain> Something tender and sweet.
<Volterra> definitely :)
<BabyRain> I think we should have lots of peach roses, too.
<MonkeyWmn> ??
<Volterra> peach roses?
<BabyRain> Yes.
<BabyRain> They're my favourites.
<BabyRain> :)
<MonkeyWmn> What else?
<BabyRain> So, Volterra ... what sort of subplot are we going to 
give you?
<Volterra> hmmm .... I don't know ....

AOL for fraud.
<Billprest> No log from last night?
<MonkeyWmn> They claim that the unlimited access plan is useless 
because nobody can get on because of the busy signals.
<BabyRain> Why fraud?
<MonkeyWmn> I might combine yesterday's log with tonight's.
<Volterra> MW: I cleaned it up :)
<MonkeyWmn> Because it's not really *unlimited* access if you 
can't get on at any time.
<BabyRain> Ah.
<Billprest> I can see what the disgruntled Californians are 
getting at.
<Volterra> their latest scam is a pop-up screen offereing access 
for $249 ... and switching the Yes and No buttons .... one of 
Dan's workmates got caught by it.

<KidLaLa> This is a pain, but glad me here.
<MonkeyWmn> LaLa, you're down to 4 secs!
<Volterra> bill: musical theatre stuff.
<MonkeyWmn> How'd ya manage it?
<BabyRain> YEEEEHAH!
<KidLaLa> Ha Ha, Billy Boy.
<Billprest> Show tunes, eh?
<Billprest> Taunt me not, Lesley!
<KidLaLa> Hey, I'm feeling much better now!
<Billprest> I'll wish a bunch more rain on ya.
<MonkeyWmn> Taunt away, Lesley!
* BabyRain hastily hands Bill some pretzels.
<KidLaLa> Bill, but it's so much fun!
<Volterra> Bill: he was Australia's first Phantom of the opera 
.... if you have the Les Mis international cast recording he 
sings Enjolras on it.
<Billprest> If it weren't for the Canadian pretzels, I'd be 
irate.
<KidLaLa> Is it pretzel night?  That's what I'm munching on.
* MonkeyWmn is pretzel-less :(
<Billprest> Leanne - I'm afraid I haven't seen or heard "Les 
Miserables."
<MonkeyWmn> I have microwave popcorn, but the microwave is dead.
* KidLaLa tosses some pretzels to the East Coast.
<BabyRain> Bill, you heathen.
<Billprest>  *Goes for his coat.
<MonkeyWmn> Off with his head!!!!
<BabyRain> MW, did your brother put his shoes in it?
<KidLaLa> Did the bimbette blow up the mikey?
<Volterra> Bill: shame on you :)
<MonkeyWmn> It was just dead when I came home one day.
<BabyRain> Oh, Bill ... don't go.  Please?
<MonkeyWmn> It was over 11 years old.
<MonkeyWmn> This is just like old times.
<KidLaLa> Billy, come back, any kind of fool can see....
<BabyRain> LaLa SING?!
<MonkeyWmn> I thought you didn't like us singing, LaLa.
<Billprest> Is Lesley breaking into song?
<KidLaLa> Amazing, ain't it?
<BabyRain> LaLa never sing.  LaLa hate sing. :)
<Billprest> Sing Lesley.  I've sat back down.
<MonkeyWmn> And if you're going to sing 70s tunes, how about The 
Night Chicago Died?
<Billprest> What was that song about?
<KidLaLa> MW sure has bad taste in music.
<Volterra> Billy don't be a hero, don't make a fool(?) of your 
life! Billy don't be a hero, come back and make me your wife! 
(Anth actually sang that)
<MonkeyWmn> That was my first ever favorite pop song when I was 
about 7.
<BabyRain> Billy, don't you lose my number!
<Billprest> I think you mean Rikki.
<BabyRain> ?
<MonkeyWmn> Did you know that Paper Lace recorded Billy Don't Be 
a Hero before Bo Donaldson.
<Volterra> And as Billy started to go, he said "keep your pretty 
head lo-woah". Billy don't be a hero, come back to me ...
<Billprest> Karen - give me somewhere to send the pictures of the 
enchanted island of Mori.
<Volterra> I didn't know Bo Donaldson recorded it
<BabyRain> I'll email you, Bill.
<KidLaLa> OH MY GOD What have I started?
<Billprest> ok
<KidLaLa> I only did it cause someone had a gun to my head.
<Billprest> *goes for his vest
<Volterra> it's ok LaLA it's the only Billy song I know
<Billprest> Sing Lesley, or I'm leaving.
<KidLaLa> Thanks, Leanne.
<KidLaLa> I'll sing for you in private Bill.  ;)
<Billprest> "Billy & Sue" by B.J. Thomas
<MonkeyWmn> Bo beat Paper Lace in releasing the song in the 
States.
<KidLaLa> Leanne, have you seen DC in Life Goes On?
<MonkeyWmn> Paper Lace then went to number one with...The Night 
Chicago Died.
<Billprest> *goes for his hat
<Volterra> Lesley: no
<Billprest> What was that song about?  The Great Chicago Fire?
<KidLaLa> Man oh man, you missed it big time!!
<Volterra> I would say Bill's doing a strip tease, but he seems 
to be putting *on* clothes
<KidLaLa> For which we are most grateful.  :)
<BabyRain> It's a shame, really.
<MonkeyWmn> No, Bill.  "Daddy was a cop on the East Side of 
Chicago..."
<Billprest> *grabs his lunch box, not knowing how to respond to 
Leanne's last remark.
<KidLaLa> Karen, did you get Bahb's response?
* BabyRain hands Bill some more pretzels
<Billprest> Music to my ears.
<KidLaLa> TNCD was about gangsters.  As opposed to gangstas.
<BabyRain> Yes, LaLa.  Did you have to tell him about the 
smurf??????
<MonkeyWmn> Everybody knows about the Smurf!
<KidLaLa> Hee Hee Hee.  Isn't he fun?
<Billprest> *heads out the door, comes back to grab the Canadian 
pretzels.  "They are so much fresher than American pretzels," 
he thought as he closed his briefcase.
<KidLaLa> I sent out an all-campus e-mail about the smurf. :)
<Volterra> Bill, can't you do a /me
<MonkeyWmn> What would you do, Babyrain, if I told you I told SC 
about the smurf when I forwarded your note to him?
<BabyRain> He wasn't offended by my PS (even worse since it 
wasn't his snake like I thought it was)?
<Billprest> Leanne - what the heck does that mean?
* KidLaLa thinks Br might possibly scream, maybe cry.
* BabyRain coughs.
* KidLaLa slaps Billprest around a bit with a large trout
<BabyRain> Bill, type "/me sees it now"
<Volterra> Bill where you type what you say, type /me whistles a 
happy tune instead
<Billprest> * Bill slaps Lesley with a thawed elk steak
<Volterra> well, at least it was thawed
<MonkeyWmn> Some people just don't get it. :)
<BabyRain> Yuck.
<Billprest> "/me sees it now"
<Billprest> Like that?
<Volterra> without the quots
<MonkeyWmn> No quotes, Bill.
<BabyRain> Without the quotation marks
<MonkeyWmn> Triple jinx!
<BabyRain> MW, you didn't tell him, did you?
<KidLaLa> You quotable people you.
<MonkeyWmn> No, BR.  It was just a hypothetical question. :)
<Billprest> Hey, gotta go.
<BabyRain> LaLa, what did Bahb say about the smurf?
<Billprest> Bye for now.
<BabyRain> Bye, Bill
<MonkeyWmn> Bye, Bill!
<Volterra> Bye Bill!
<KidLaLa> Bye Billy.
*** Billprest has quit IRC (Leaving)
<KidLaLa> BR, Bahb just laughed and laughed.  Some snot came out 
his nose too.
<BabyRain> GROSS.
<Volterra> who is Bahb?
<KidLaLa> Well it DID!!
<KidLaLa> Leanne, one of my bosses, the nice one.
<MonkeyWmn> Not the Boogerhead.
<Volterra> ah, ok
<BabyRain> The Boogernose.
<KidLaLa> BTW, Leanne, Dean C. was on that show in virtually no 
clothes and did a real sexy dance!!
<KidLaLa> Greg is now BN.
<BabyRain> ?
<KidLaLa> BR, your ? refers to....
<Volterra> really????
<BabyRain> BN
<KidLaLa> Boogernose instead of Boogerhead.
<KidLaLa> Leanne, YES, really.  Even I found it most agreeable.
<Volterra> Mmmmm .....
<BabyRain> No, Bahb is BN.  You said so yourself.
<KidLaLa> I would have taped it for you had I been able.
<BabyRain> Where is Jeff?
<Volterra> well I guess it'll repeat one day
<KidLaLa> I didn't mean it that way.  :)
<KidLaLa> Jeff is incommunicado.
<BabyRain> Did Bahb like his messages?
<KidLaLa> Yes, he even printed yours out to take home and show 
the family!
<BabyRain> I wasn't sure if the PS was out of line or not.
<BabyRain> Anyone know how much the rent at the Monkey Bar was?
<KidLaLa> Nothing's out of line for Bahb!
<Volterra> wish I knew. Can't be much if Sarah could pay for it 
with her singing
<BabyRain> I also actually thought his name was Bahb
<KidLaLa> Nobody ever paid it, so the point's moot.  :)
<BabyRain> True
<BabyRain> Let's talk about the first Louie
<KidLaLa> Naw, plain old palindrome Bob.
<BabyRain> What did you think?
<Volterra> Ron Moody? I prefer Roddy meself
<BabyRain> Ditto.  Why?
<KidLaLa> BR, when's the last time you e-mailed Jeff?
<KidLaLa> Roddy is my choice too.
<BabyRain> Last Tuesday, LaLa.
<Volterra> Roddy's Louie had more of a sense of humour. Ron was 
very dour
<KidLaLa> No word, eh?
<BabyRain> None.
<BabyRain> I found Ron to be too much of a caricature.
<BabyRain> I didn't really like his accent at all.
<KidLaLa> Hey, youse guys, this place is fixing to close up.  How 
long can people stay tonight?  Should I borrow a key to this 
joint?
<MonkeyWmn> We wouldn't want you to drive home in the dark.
<KidLaLa> It's already dark here.
<MonkeyWmn> How long are we fixing to hang around for, ladies?
* Volterra shrugs
<BabyRain> I can stay for a bit more.  Need to go for a food run, 
though.
<KidLaLa> What's a bit more?
<BabyRain> 30 min
<KidLaLa> Otay.  BTW, BR, I've seen poisonous snakes in Canada!
<BabyRain> Not this part. :)
<KidLaLa> Well, just north of New York State.
<BabyRain> I'm lagging
-> [BabyRain] PING
-> [KidLaLa] PING
<BabyRain> brb getting food
<BabyRain> Aren't you guys going to say anything?
<KidLaLa> I'm here.
<BabyRain> It's awfully quiet.
<MonkeyWmn> What do you want us to say?
<BabyRain> LaLa, what was the name of Jeff's character in that 
Sheep show?
<KidLaLa> Don French (Lt.)
<BabyRain> What was the name of the show?
<KidLaLa> First it was Baa Baa Black Sheep, then Black Sheep 
Squadron.
<KidLaLa> Is this a quiz?
<BabyRain> No, not a quiz.  But it was my hubby's favourite show. 
 I just found this out last night.
<KidLaLa> Very interesting!!  I'd make you some tapes if i could.
<BabyRain> Doug didn't recognize Jeff when watching totgm
<KidLaLa> Are MW and Volterra still with us?
<BabyRain> I don't know.
<MonkeyWmn> Yes.
<MonkeyWmn> I didn't want to interrupt.
<Volterra> Yes,
<KidLaLa> Shame, shame, shame.  Course you didn't recognize him 
in Magnum!
<KidLaLa> MW speaks!
* MonkeyWmn always recognizes Jeff, even in Living Single
<Volterra> Ditto. And I was readiing about David Helfgott -- has 
anyone else here seen "Shine"?
<BabyRain> Nope.
<MonkeyWmn> Not yet.
<MonkeyWmn> I'll wait for video.
<KidLaLa> Are you guys tired, or lagging or what?
<MonkeyWmn> A bit of both.
<Volterra> oh don't wait for the video -- the music is glorious 
(saw it last night)
<Volterra> besides, it's Aussie
<BabyRain> Leanne, can yyou make wav files?
<Volterra> um, I think so. I can make au files and Mac snd files, 
but only off cds
<BabyRain> Oh.  I wanted to hear your accent. :)
<MonkeyWmn> Yes, none of us have ever heard you, Leanne.
<Volterra> Well, I think we *could* do something about that ... 
Dan wants to record me singing his stuff ... we just haven't 
got it all set up yet.
<Volterra> Should we have a conference call then? *grin*
<BabyRain> But you won't have an accent while singing. :)
<Volterra> Or, I could tell you when I'm out and you can listen 
to our answering machine message
<Volterra> true
<BabyRain> Email me your phone no., Leanne
<MonkeyWmn> I believe this chat is beginning to drag.
<Volterra> okay.
<MonkeyWmn> Should we call it a night?
<Volterra> I'll do it after the chat.
<Volterra> I think so. Let BR go write the script :)
<MonkeyWmn> First, she has to finish the fan-fic. :)
<BabyRain> I still have to write a fan-fic installment.
<MonkeyWmn> I just hope I'll be able to upload tomorrow.
<BabyRain> Gotta figure out what happens to Lesley and Corky.
<Volterra> can Imake a request?
* Volterra rather shyly asks ..
<BabyRain> Sure.
<Volterra> well, I seem to have disappeared ..... and well, 
there's Louie ....
* Volterra lets BR put two and two together :)
<BabyRain> You disappeared because *you*( disappeared.  I need 
inspiration. :)  You want Louie?
<Volterra> well, sure, why not?
<BabyRain> Just checking. :)
<Volterra> :)
* BabyRain wonders what on earth she's going to do with her own 
character -- not that she has one ...
<MonkeyWmn> You can always get "blessed". :)
<Volterra> Br: you seem to be everyoman at the bar .... like 
Hemingway, commenting on what you see :) at least, that's how 
I imagine you
<Volterra> oh yes!
<BabyRain> No thanks.
<BabyRain> I like the everywoman thing, though.
<MonkeyWmn> You could hang out with Jack.
<Volterra> 'maybe you could give Sarah a run for hermoney 
singing-wise
<BabyRain> I'll come up with something.
* Volterra is confident in BR
<BabyRain>  I'm exhausted, guys.  I have to go on Dalnet and 
pretend I'm a dog, and then I have to go to bed.
<BabyRain> Long storyy.
<MonkeyWmn> Let's end this puppy then.  Oh, sorry BR. :)
* Volterra won't ask why
<BabyRain> Haha.
<BabyRain> Where is LaLa?
<MonkeyWmn> I know BabyRain wants her T*R*E*A*T*S! )
<BabyRain> AROOROOROO! :)
* MonkeyWmn scratches Babyrain behind her ear.
* MonkeyWmn realizes this sounds kinky to Leanne and Lesley
<BabyRain> This is getting a little too weird, Pat. :)
<MonkeyWmn> Yes, save it for woofchat.
<BabyRain> I think I've perhaps outdone the Smurf now. :)
<MonkeyWmn> You'll never outdo the smurf! :)
<MonkeyWmn> Okay, let's all go now.
<BabyRain> Well, shall we call it a wrap?
<MonkeyWmn> Good night, everyone!
<BabyRain> Goodnight!
*** BabyRain has quit IRC (Going to get more Diet Pepsi!!!)
<MonkeyWmn> Lesley, Leanne?
-> [KidLaLa] PING
-> [Volterra] PING
<MonkeyWmn> Good night, you guys.
<MonkeyWmn> Talk to ya tomorrow.
