<GMonkey> Howdy!
-> [BabyRain] PING
<BabyRain> Hi!
<BabyRain> Now why didn't my beep go off???
*** BabyRain sets mode: +o GMonkey
<GMonkey> Excuses, excuses!
<GMonkey> Thanks.
<GMonkey> Just heard from Leanne.  She'll be here at 3 her time.
<BabyRain> Not a problem.  Any idea who's coming tonight?
<GMonkey> She also wrote a little song.
<GMonkey> I'll e-mail it to you.
<BabyRain> Okay. :)
<GMonkey> I won't be able to post it to the board until tomorrow.
<BabyRain> It doesn't involve sheep, does it?  I didn't like the 
last one. :(
<GMonkey> Have to start BB #9!!
<GMonkey> No sheep. :)
<GMonkey> It's about Louie.
<BabyRain> And tradition dictates you do so with an fanfic 
installment.
*** Barbie (Barbiester@ppp_5.aonline.com) has joined #TOTGM
<BabyRain> I'll see what I can do.  Remind me to watch TV 
tonight, please.
<BabyRain> Hi, Barbie!
<GMonkey> Hi, Barbie.
<Barbie> Loks like I made it ! :)
<GMonkey> You're here early.
<Barbie> Aloha all!
<GMonkey> But then, so are we. :)
<Barbie> I wanted to make sure this new setup worked..
<GMonkey> The chat hasn't officially begun yet.
<Barbie> gave myself plenty of "fix-it" time..
<GMonkey> Good plan.
<Barbie> no problem.. should I excuse myself for a little while?
<BabyRain> Nah. :)
<GMonkey> No, feel free to join in.
<Barbie> any word on whether Jeff will be joining us today?
<GMonkey> BTW, BR, I'm starting BB #9 tomorrow.
<BabyRain> The pre-chat usually winds up in the posted log 
anyway. :)
<Barbie> cool.
<BabyRain> I haven't heard from Jeff in about two months. :(
<Barbie> Me neither..
<BabyRain> Not cool. :(
<GMonkey> So if you want it to begin with your fanfic 
installment, you better write fast! :)
<GMonkey> He'll be back.  I know it!!!
<BabyRain> I haven't heard from Tom in a few days, either.
<BabyRain> So, Barbie, have we met before?
<GMonkey> *You* haven't heard from Tom in a few days, BR.
<GMonkey> He hasn't talked to me in a while. :(
<GMonkey> I don't think you two have officially met.
<Barbie> not sure.. this is my first time in this chat..
<Barbie> Tom?
<GMonkey> Of course, I've met everyone. :)
<GMonkey> Tom Greene, writer/producer.
<BabyRain> Tom Greene, writer/producer
<BabyRain> jinx
<Barbie> got it..thanks
<GMonkey> I'm too mature for jinxes! :P
<Barbie> Well, anyway, I am Barbie Boyd, major fan of Jeff 
MacKay, and Gold Monkey
<Barbie> and Magnum pi
<GMonkey> Barbie can fill in for Lesley until she can manage to 
log on. :)
<Barbie> gee, I'm honored!
<BabyRain> Karen McLean, Rain-chick and Monkiac, writer of stuff.
<GMonkey> I warn you, Lesley's shoes are large to fill. :)
<GMonkey> Patricia Annino, Goddess of the Gold Monkey :)
<BabyRain> Goddess?
<Barbie> nice to meet you, Karen! I've e-mailed Lesley a few 
times too.
<BabyRain> I thought you were merely a benevolent dictator.
<Barbie> Nice to meet you too Patricia!
<Barbie> lol
<GMonkey> Monkey Woman is naturally a Goddess!!! :)
<BabyRain> Nice to meet you, Babrie.
<Barbie> I also write.. tho not for the newspaper anymore..
<BabyRain> Barbie.  (aaargh - no can type with McNugget in hand
<GMonkey> Try putting the McNugget in your mouth, Karen. :)
<BabyRain> What do you write?
<Barbie> I used to write for a newspaper, did photography too... 
now I am working on a couple of novels.. one smutty, one not 
so smutty
<Barbie> I write just about anything, truthfully.
<BabyRain> Same here. :)
<Barbie> Anyway, my husband and I just got transferred here to 
Alaska (Navy) from Hawaii..
<Barbie> so I have a lot to write about!
<BabyRain> Right now, I'm working on a short fiction collection, 
a smutty novel, a horror novel, TOTGM fan-fic (although it's 
not exactly cohesive), and a young adult series. :)
<BabyRain> You're in ALASKA?!
<Barbie> love it!! keep up the good work!
<BabyRain> from HAWAII?!
<Barbie> yep... major climate change
<BabyRain> Thanks. :)  
<BabyRain> I'll say!  You must be frozen!
<Barbie> right now it's 18 degrees and trying to snow
<BabyRain> Fahrenheit?
<Barbie> actually we had a "heat wave" of about 40 last week and 
I thought it was SUMMER!
<Barbie> F... yes..
<BabyRain> You know, we Canadians should just take over Alaska 
and get ito ver with. :)
<GMonkey> It would be very difficult for it to snow when it's 18 
degrees celsius. :)
<Barbie> where in Canada?
* GMonkey is such a smartass.
<Barbie> lol.. you guys are great.. just like Jeff told me
* GMonkey blushes
<BabyRain> I'm in New Brunswick ... and GMonkey is the greatest 
smart-ass I know. :)
<GMonkey> Thank you.
<GMonkey> I think.
<BabyRain> She's going to come visit so she can huiliate me in 
person. :)
<Barbie> hehe.. so what time is it there? It's 1:48pm here
<BabyRain> It's almost 7 pm here.

<BabyRain> Hi, Bill!
<GMonkey> I'm showing 5:49 here in beautiful Massachusetts.
<GMonkey> Hiya, Bill!
<Barbie> hello, Bill!
<Billprest> Hey early birds!
<GMonkey> Bill, do you know Barbie?
<Billprest> Barbie, do I know you?
<GMonkey> Barbie, Bill.  Bill, Barbie.
<Barbie> Boy, we're spread all over the country!
<Barbie> nice to meet you, Bill:)
<Billprest> Charmed, I'm sure.
<GMonkey> And Bill's in Colorado.
<BabyRain> We missed you, Bill.  We just couldn't wait to see 
your smiling characters again. :)
<Billprest> Barbie, where are you?
<GMonkey> Leanne will be joining us shortly and she's in San 
Diego.
<Billprest> Thanks Karen!
<BabyRain> Btw, Bill, thanks for the mail.  It's not here yet, 
but looking forward to it.
<Barbie> Anchorage, Alaska.. transplanted from O'ahu
<Billprest> Anchorage Alaska?  The last frontier.
<BabyRain> be back in about ten minutes
<Barbie> Boy is it!
<Billprest> I've got a brother lives in Healy.
<Billprest> Hey Patricia, how are you?
<GMonkey> I'm fine, Bill.  You?
<Billprest> Bien, graci.
* Barbie looking for Healy on big Alaska map on wall
<Billprest> Look 90 miles N of Fairbanks.
<Barbie> A-HA! Found it!
<Billprest> Patricia, I can't believe you didn't take on the 
Magnum PI homepage duties.
<Billprest> Slacker!
<GMonkey> I wouldn't be able to do the show justice, Bill.
<Barbie> can I volunteer? (wondering what I'm getting myself 
into)
<GMonkey> That's why I didn't create a St. Elsewhere web site.
<GMonkey> Do you know how to create a web page, Barbie?
<Barbie> not yet, but I am a fast learner, and I AM a bit of an 
expert on MPI
<Billprest> Hey, just kidding.  I can imagine the fun running off 
8 years of tapes.
<GMonkey> Eeeek!!!  Don't even joke about that!!
<Barbie> I have every episode on tape here
<Billprest> I'm afraid I never saw Magnum, but Tom Selleck is in 
2 of my favorite movies.
<GMonkey> I'm exhausted just making copies of the one season of 
TOTGM.
<Billprest> *reaches out and pats Patricia on the back for all 
her hard work.
<GMonkey> you have to type /me and then your phrase, Bill.
<GMonkey> Try it.
* Barbie is wondering if she could really handle the Magnum 
homepage...
<GMonkey> See!  Barbie figured it out and she's an even newer 
newbie. :)
<Barbie> I just hooked up to IRC for the first time last night.
<GMonkey> Go on, Bill.  Give it a try.
<GMonkey> Bill?
<GMonkey> Oh, dear.  I didn't hurt your feelings, did I?
<Barbie> maybe we scared him..
* Billprest pat on the back
<GMonkey> YEAH!!!!!
<Billprest> Nothing
<Barbie> maybe his computer is taking over!!
-> [Barbie] PING
* Billprest wonders if it worked
-> [Billprest] PING
<Billprest> * me is thinking it does
<Barbie> Don't sweat it, Bill, I just called out to my husband to 
find out how to do the /me thing
<Billprest> Do I type the actual word "me"?
<Barbie> yep
<GMonkey> You type   /me
<Barbie> with a / in front of it
<Barbie> right, just like that
* Billprest types /me
<GMonkey> See.  It's not that hard, is it?
<Barbie> see? you did it!
<Billprest> It woiks!  Patricia, you're a genius or something.
<GMonkey> Well, I was a member of Mensa, but it was boring so I 
quit.
<GMonkey> Gee, you two got awful quiet.
<GMonkey> Are we lagging?

<GMonkey> Yep.
<GMonkey> I think we all did.

<Billprest> Yes, I'm here
<Barbie> what's ops?
*** BabyRain (babyrain@stjhts04c12.nbnet.nb.ca) has left #TOTGM
<GMonkey> We were all disconneted.
<Billprest> All I know is: Patricia started talking about how 
she's a genius and then everything got weird.  Is there a 
connection?
<Barbie> LOL
<GMonkey> I guess I shouldn't have mentioned that organization.
<Billprest> Barbie - tell us about yourself.
<Billprest> Patricia - we knew you were an unofficial genius, but 
now we know you're an official genius.
* GMonkey blushes again
<Billprest> Answer our 10 trivia questions, willya?
<Barbie> ok.. well, I am a former police dispatcher, newspaper 
reporter/photog, who met my current husband online..moved to 
Hawaii from Fla and am now here in Alaska married to a Navy 
LT.
<Barbie> trivia?? If it was on Magnum pi, I bet I could answer 
them!
<Billprest> I guess we can forgive your former connection to the 
media.  How do you like Alaska?

<Barbie> Patricia: what is OPS??
<Volterra> hey, I didn't try to get on concentric ...
<Volterra> so should we leave the channel and come back in again?

<Billprest> I bet you're beside yourself with joy!
<Billprest> Sorry, a little Siamese twin humor there.

<GMonkey> Barbie, Leanne.  Leanne, Barbie.

<GMonkey> Nope, we're all pretty much in sync.
<GMonkey> Babyrain's the slowest at 10 secs.
<Barbie> cool!
<Barbie> Anyway.. I have an embarrassing question..
<GMonkey> Whatever went wrong seems to okay now.
<GMonkey> What is it, Barbie?
<Barbie> Q: what role did the gold monkey play in the show.. 
wasn't it stolen or something??
*** BabyRain has quit IRC (Going to get more Diet Pepsi!!!)
<GMonkey> It was only mentioned in the pilot.
<GMonkey> KAREN!!!
<GMonkey> A 10 sec lag isn't bad!
<GMonkey> Back to the gold monkey.
<Volterra> and it turned out to be brass ...
<Barbie> does anyone have the pilot on tape?
<Billprest> It was supposed to be made of a heat-resistant metal 
that the Naziis wanted for their guided missile program.
<GMonkey> I do!
*** PepsiDog (babyrain@stjhts04c12.nbnet.nb.ca) has joined

<GMonkey> Uncut and unedited from MCA!
<GMonkey> Hiya Karen.
<Billprest> So they sent agents to the Marivellas islands to 
procure the monkey.
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o PepsiDog
<Barbie> Is there any way I could pay you enough to copy it for 
me????
<GMonkey> You just want the pilot or all the other episodes?
<PepsiDog> Hello?
<Billprest> Uncut?  Uncut?
-> [PepsiDog] PING
<Billprest> Hi Karen
<Barbie> well, I didn't want to be greedy...
*** PepsiDog is now known as BabyRain
<Barbie> I have a couple of episodes...
<GMonkey> 14 secs, Karen.
<BabyRain> Argh
<Billprest> So Karen, I read your 4 short stories on your 
homepage.
<GMonkey> Let me know which episodes you'd like, Barbie, and 
I'll put you on the list for copies.
<BabyRain> Did you, Bill?  What did you think?
<GMonkey> All I ask in return is $3 per tape for the cost of 
buying blank tapes and postage.
-> [BabyRain] PING
-> [Barbie] PING
<Billprest> I thought they were very well written.  "Autumn to 
Winter" was my favorite, because it had a happy ending.
<Billprest> A very hopeful, happy ending.
<GMonkey> BR, down to 2 secs!
*** Barbie (Barbiester@ppp_5.aonline.com) has left #TOTGM
-> [Billprest] PING
<BabyRain> Thanks, Bill. :)
<GMonkey> But we've lost Barbie again!

<BabyRain> I guess that was the only happy ending I uploaded. :)
<GMonkey> She's back!
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o Barbie
* Volterra really has to visit BR's page ...
* BabyRain agrees that Volterra must
<Barbie> sorry... my husband accidentally started modemming with 
his computer on the same line!
<Billprest> I found myself wanting to know more about the girl in 
"Journeys".  Why did she not fit into society?  Why was she 
lonely, almost depressed?  Her character was interesting.
<GMonkey> She was depressed because the ABC weenies cancelled 
TOTGM!!! :)
<Billprest> And why didn't her parents tell her to dress in 
layers when going for a walk in inclement weather?
<Billprest> Patricia - nice theory.
<BabyRain> Good question, Bill.  I never really answered that for 
myself.  
<BabyRain> Maybe she was an orphan. :)
TOTGM!!! :)
<Billprest> I think of Anne Shirley, next province over from you.
<BabyRain> They also don't have parents to help them pick 
clothing for journeys. :)
<BabyRain> Anne with an e. :)
<Billprest> And in "Bordertown," I detected a tension between 
Canada and the U.S. which I wasn't aware of before.
<Billprest> Kinda of a "We like their stuff, but we don't like 
them," sorta thing.
<BabyRain> Not so much a tension between the two countries as  
it was targetting the cross-border shoppers.  A few years 
ago, it was a real problem, particularly in New Brunswick.
* Billprest wishes he knew the command to change the chat title 
to "Karen's Writing."
* BabyRain is flattered but thinks maybe we should talk the 
monkey instead. :)
<Volterra> type /topic #totgm Karen's Writing
<BabyRain> I am interested in your comments, though, Bill. :)
<Billprest> Okay.  I understand now.  I took it to be a somewhat 
tense feeling, having an economic colossus like the US right 
next door.
<Billprest> There was a realistic humanness to all of the 
stories.  
<Volterra> Goosebumps was cool ... but I was somewhat 
disappointed at the "cut off" point :)
<GMonkey> My PC is beeping at me.
<Billprest> I scratched my head at the ending of "Clowns."
<GMonkey> HELP!

<BabyRain> Bill, you were confused at the ending of "Clowns"?

*** BabyRain sets mode: +o GMonkey
<GMonkey> Thank you.
* BabyRain really doesn't want to turn this into KarenChat, but 
the feedback is addicting. :)
<Billprest> Well, yeah.  Help me with the names of the 2 clowns.
<BabyRain> Maura and David?  Or Bozo and Daisy.
<BabyRain> Do you folks want Bill and I to take this to a private 
chat?
* BabyRain is feeling guilty
<Volterra> Patricia: I meant to ask you in my email -- do you 
desire screen grabs for your totgm page?
* Volterra doesn't mind
<Billprest> Maura & David.  I should go back & read it again.
<GMonkey> No, that's okay, Leanne.  I've got enough pics right 
now.
<GMonkey> Besides, I have capture capabilities now.
<GMonkey> Speaking of captures, did you ever view Goosebumps, 
Leanne?
<GMonkey> Karen, just got your latest installment.
<Volterra> Yes, I did. You musta missed my comment
<Volterra> Goosebumps was cool ... but I was somewhat 
disappointed at the "cut off" point :)
<GMonkey> Best I could do. :)
<GMonkey> Love that expression, though. :)
* Volterra had plans of raiding alt.binaries.male ...
<Volterra> yeah, it was *really* good :)
<GMonkey> Do you think I should put it in the site?
<Volterra> well, you could run it by SC, but if he didn't mind 
filming it, I don't see why he would mind it going on the site 
-- all the SC fans certainly wouldn't!
<GMonkey> Okay, I'll ask him.  I'll have to show him the pic 
first though.
* GMonkey blushes at the thought of that
<BabyRain> LOL
<GMonkey> Of course, we could get Karen to ask for us. :)
<BabyRain> Oh, right.  As if he'd answer me. :)
<Volterra> hmm ... I could always PhotoShop a Smurf on his 
shoulder ... once I find a Smurf to cut and paste
* Barbie is imagining what this pic must look like!
<GMonkey> He likes you, Karen.  He thought your last note was 
"great".
* Volterra ducks and runs
<BabyRain> So he told you. :)
<GMonkey> Would you like to see the picture, Barbie?
<GMonkey> I can e-mail it to you.
<Barbie> sure!
<GMonkey> Okay. brb
<GMonkey> Ooops, Barbie, what's your email address again?
<GMonkey> I have it on my work PC, but not here at home.
<GMonkey> Bill, would you like to see the picture too?
<Barbie> try sending it to Barbiester@aol.com...that's the 
easiest one for me to download stuff from
<GMonkey> Though I don't think you'd really be interested.
<GMonkey> Okay.
* Barbie has too many e-mail addresses!
<Billprest> Which picture is that?
<Barbie> I get the feeling it's a cheesecake one, Bill
<GMonkey> It's a video capture from Cooked Goose.
<GMonkey> The hot tub scene!!
<Barbie> cool! I mean... hot!
<Billprest> Ya know, you better go ahead without me on that one.
<GMonkey> Just thought I'd ask.
<GMonkey> Didn't want you to feel left out. :)
<BabyRain> You don't want to see the FC, Bill? ;)
<GMonkey> Karen, LOVE the latest installment of the fanfic!
<GMonkey> It'll get posted tomorrow along with Leanne's song. :)
<Billprest> Is there more fanfic?  Why wasn't I informed?
<BabyRain> Thanks.  I wrote it while you guys were chatting. :)
<GMonkey> It just arrived, Bill.  Tune in tomorrow for it.
<GMonkey> Cool!!!
<BabyRain> Remember when I said I'd be back in ten minutes?
<Volterra> cool :)
<GMonkey> Ah!!!
* Barbie slaps BabyRain around a bit with a large trout
<GMonkey> I thought you were getting more Chicken McNuggets.
<Barbie> HA!!!!!
<GMonkey> Now, Barbie!
<BabyRain> Fun, eh?
<Billprest> How did Barbie know about the fish slap function?
<GMonkey> If you can't play nice...
* BabyRain has been showing Barbie a few tricks
<Barbie> I learn verrryyy quickly
<Billprest> Is this the sort of chicanery that should be 
internationally instructed?
<BabyRain> No.  I brought the McNuggets home from the mall.
<GMonkey> You're just jealous, Bill.
<GMonkey> Don't you know about the fish slap function?
<Barbie> Bill.. it is just SO wild!
<Billprest> We use the thawed elk steak function in Colorado.
<Barbie> (sorry for getting off the subject, here)
<BabyRain> Subject?  You mean we have one? :)
<Billprest> Barbie, you old swabbie, you.
<Barbie> well.....
<GMonkey> Bill, highlight the person you want to slap.  (not 
me!!)
*** GMonkey changes topic to "Fun with IRC!"
<Barbie> you can do me, Bill
<Barbie> oops.. that didn't sound right, did it?
<GMonkey> Then click the right mouse key.
<GMonkey> Please, this is a family chat room!
<Billprest> What do you mean, "highlight?"  From which icon?
<GMonkey> Click on the person's name on the upper right hand 
corner.
* Billprest slaps BabyRain around a bit with a large trout
<GMonkey> He did it!!!
* Billprest slaps BabyRain around a bit with a large trout
* Billprest slaps Barbie around a bit with a large trout
<GMonkey> But what did Karen ever do to you?
* Billprest slaps GMonkey around a bit with a large trout
<GMonkey> Okay, Bill.
* Billprest slaps Volterra around a bit with a large trout
<GMonkey> STOP IT!!!!
<Billprest> Yahoo!
<Barbie> I think Bill got it.
* Billprest slaps GMonkey around a bit with a large trout
<BabyRain> Bill has learned. :)
<GMonkey> My God!!!  What have we done?
<BabyRain> I've created a MONSTER!
<Barbie> I think we have created a fishmonger!
<Billprest> Ah, haaah haaah haaah haaah!
*** GMonkey sets mode: -o Billprest
*** BabyRain sets mode: +o Billprest
<GMonkey> I'm not taking any chances with the madman!!
<Billprest> Don't kick me, or I'll come back & slap you sillier!
<GMonkey> No, he's insane!!!  Don't you see?!!
<BabyRain> But he likes me. :)
<GMonkey> I wasn't going to kick you, but I was afraid you'd kick 
someone by mistake.
* Barbie slinks quietly to a dark corner to watch all the fun
<Billprest> FISH, FISH, MONKEY, MONKEY.  Coat racks, etc.  
Babble....
<GMonkey> It's like taking a knife away from a small child. :)
<Barbie> he'll never find me here!
<GMonkey> Leanne, you've been awfully quiet.
* Billprest slaps Barbie around a bit with a large trout
<GMonkey> Are you hiding from the Colorado Crazyman?
<Billprest> Moooohaaaahaaa haaa!
<Volterra> yes I know
<BabyRain> Doug?
<GMonkey> Doug's from Colorado?
* Volterra has been doing some *really* cool things with html and 
gifs and netscape extensions
<BabyRain> Doug laughs like that.
<GMonkey> Ah!
<Volterra> while the fish swapping, ah, thwapping was going on
<Billprest> Okay, enough of this madness.  Back to TOTGM.  Did 
anyone notice in "Legends are Forever," that Jake & Gandy are 
on the bridge, with a six-shot pistol apiece, and they fire 14 
shots without reloading?
<GMonkey> And you've been playing with video captures too.  Right 
Leanne?
<GMonkey> Welcome to the wonderful world of television. :)
<Volterra> uh huh ... well, my buddy in New York has been and 
passing them on
<GMonkey> I bought my PC specifically because of the capture 
function.
* Barbie loves doing video captures... a hobby of hers
* BabyRain wishes she could do captures
<GMonkey> I'll make captures for you, Karen.
<GMonkey> I made you Goosebumps, didn't I?
<Volterra> This PC is supposed to but I'm clueless about it all 
... however, if you want to know how to animate a gold monkey, 
just ask :)
<GMonkey> Any others you'd like?
<GMonkey> Ooooooo, animated GIFs?  Cool!!!
<BabyRain> I want the monkey
<Volterra> GM: I'll email you the website with the tutorial and 
the links to the nifty software
<GMonkey> Thanks, Leanne!!!
<Barbie> I had to get software to capture video
<Billprest> Can I ask a question?
<GMonkey> My PC is built-in cable ready.
<GMonkey> Shoot.
<BabyRain> Bang.
<BabyRain> Ooops.
* GMonkey slumps wounded to the floor
<Barbie> go for it Bill
* Volterra chuckles
<Billprest> How did they land on trout for the slap function?
<GMonkey> Sounds funnier than flounder? :)
<Barbie> probably some Monty Python thing or something
<Billprest> And speaking of shooting, did anyone notice in 
"Legends Are Forever" that Jake & Gandy each have a 
six-shooter, but between them they fire 14 shots without 
reloading? (I repeat the question)
<Volterra> Bill: uh, no. But then I haven't seen it.
<BabyRain> Haven't seen it since I hit puberty.
<GMonkey> I didn't notice.
<Volterra> (just so you don't have to repeat the question)
<GMonkey> Only noticed half naked Bogas. :)
<Volterra> brb...
<Billprest> Leanne - that's perfectly understandable.  You need 
someone to make you tapes.
<GMonkey> She only wants good copies and I don't have a good copy 
of 'Legends...' yet.
<Billprest> Well anyway, it happened.
<Billprest> Is one coming?
<GMonkey> I hope so.
<GMonkey> Someone is making me copies.
* Volterra is back
<GMonkey> I don't know what condition they're in, though.
<Volterra> oooh, you're getting good copies???? *coooooooooooool*
<GMonkey> I hope they're good copies.
<GMonkey> I find out soon hopefully.
<Volterra> ok ...
<GMonkey> I'll let everyone know when the tapes arrive.
<Barbie> **the crowd cheers**
<BabyRain> :)
<Volterra> so has anyone noticed that in "Legends Are Forever" 14 
shots are fired?
* Volterra ducks all the fish
* GMonkey will be spending the rest of her life making copies of 
TOTGM episodes
<BabyRain> And visiting me
<GMonkey> Yes, that too.
<Volterra> GM: my offer stands to do PAL copies, Pat
<GMonkey> But that means Monkey Woman will be incommunicado for a 
few days!
<GMonkey> If anybody asks, Leanne, I'll send them to you.
<BabyRain> Actually, Pat, there *are* two computers and two phone 
lines in the house.  We might be able to both MonkeyChat. :)
<GMonkey> Kewl!!
* Volterra needs a second phone line
<Billprest> Leanne, your humor is wry, witty, and if I hadn't 
forgotten how to slap, I would.
<GMonkey> But I won't be able to access my e-mail or update the 
website. :(
<BabyRain> You forgot already?
<Volterra> gee, Bill, I think you're a little lagged from me ...
<GMonkey> Short-term memory pretty shot there, ain't it, Bill?
<Volterra> GM: sure you will if you can telnet to your email
<GMonkey> Don't know how to telnet, but I think I can check out 
the Concentric web page for instructions.
<Volterra> Incidentally, my New York buddy tried to make it on 
the weekend but had no luck getting through on the EfNet 
server .. she's going to try it next weekend though
<GMonkey> But I figure I can check my mail on that Friday morning 
and then again Monday evening.
* Billprest slaps GMonkey around a bit with a large trout
<Billprest> Ha ha, just kidding.
* Volterra dives for cover, just in case
<GMonkey> Weekends are pretty quiet anyway.
<GMonkey> Don't make me hit you, Mile High Boy!!!
<Barbie> speaking of weekends.. we're doing this again on 
Saturday, right?
* Billprest searches cyberspace for Leanne, lurking in the 
shadows, hiding from the retribution she so richly deserves.
<GMonkey> Yes, 1 pm ET, 9 in the morning for you, Barbie.
<Volterra> incidentally, the Orange-flower cream didn't work *at 
all* on the weekend, we got no curds :(
* Volterra ducks awhey (geddit) from Bill
* GMonkey slaps Volterra around a bit with a large trout
<GMonkey> You deserved it, Leanne!! :)
* Barbie will be here Saturday, for SURE!!!!
<GMonkey> Or should I call you Little Miss Muffet? :)
* Volterra grins unashamedly
<GMonkey> Lesley will appreciate the pun, Leanne.
<Volterra> I don't think so -- I didn't get to eat either the 
curds or the whey. 
<Volterra> But I am afraid of spiders ....
<GMonkey> I don't think she's gonna make it tonight. :(
<Volterra> well, *someone's* gotta do it!
<Barbie> geez, I leave the room for a second, and when I come 
back, y'all are talking SPIDERS??
<BabyRain> I don't like spiders or snakes.
<Billprest> And where is Lesley?  It's wonderful to have a 
mature, thoughtful person around.
<GMonkey> Dang it, BR!!
<BabyRain> :-P
<GMonkey> I was gonna type that!!!
<BabyRain> What?
<GMonkey> I don't like spiders or snakes.
<GMonkey> I don't remember the rest of the song.
<Volterra> I don't like snakes either .... maybe *this* is what 
makes us TOTGM fans?
<GMonkey> Indiana Jones didn't like snakes either.
<BabyRain> Too many snakes in Indy.
<GMonkey> We never found out Jake's position on the matter.
<BabyRain> OKAY.  ENOUGH.  STOP THINKING WHAT I'M THINKING, PAT! 
:)
<Billprest> We ran into a nasty diamondback rattler in the 
backside of Colorado last summer.
<GMonkey> We all know you're copying me, BR! :)
<BabyRain> Ribbit.
<GMonkey> I guess Corky didn't like snakes after he got bitten.
* BabyRain typed that because odds were good MonkeyWoman wasn't 
going to.
* GMonkey actually manages to steer the conversation back to 
Monkey
<Barbie> I don't like Spiders and Snakes.. and that ain't what it 
takes.... to love me....
<Barbie> hooo hoooo
<GMonkey> Thank you, Barbie.

<Volterra> LALA!!!!!!
<Billprest> Lesley, speak to us!
<BabyRain> LALA!!!
<KidLaLa> LaLa has been asked to work until 5 so if I disappear 
for a bit from time to time I'm working.
<GMonkey> The weasels!!!!
<KidLaLa> Hiya, Barbie!!
*** KidLaLa has quit IRC (Leaving)
<Barbie> Aloha, Lesley!
<GMonkey> Guess she had to go back to work. :(
<Volterra> okey LaLa
<Billprest> Everyone waits Well that was brief.
<Billprest> Forgive my convolution.
<Barbie> people come and go so quickly around here... quote from 
Wizard of OZ
<GMonkey> So, where were we before LaLa made her cameo 
appearance?
<BabyRain> Boragora, aka Outer Wherever We Are
<GMonkey> Do you have Naka Jima Kill memorized, BR? :)
<BabyRain> Trivia question:  What ep did that description come 
from?
<BabyRain> nevermind. :)
<BabyRain> And yes, as a matter of fact, I do. :)
* GMonkey knows way too much junk
<GMonkey> Just asking. :)
<BabyRain> Yaka-kuma-seh (phonetically-transcribed thing Todo 
says when getting ready to chop someone up)
<GMonkey> Don't you mean Dodo? :)
<BabyRain> I had to double-check to see what I had typed. :)
<GMonkey> Why is everybody so quiet?
<Barbie> we're thinking...
<BabyRain>  ... it hurts ...
<Barbie> see the smoke?
<GMonkey> Did Lesley's brief appearance suck the life out of 
everyone?
<Barbie> <---checking my pulse
<BabyRain> I wish our missing VIPs were here.
* Volterra is still here ...
<BabyRain> You're not missing, Leanne. :)
<Billprest> Had to bid my compadres adieu for the evening.  But 
I'm back.
<GMonkey> So now what?
<Volterra> I suppose Jeff has still been silent?
<Barbie> guess it's time for cocktails... champagne, anyone?
<Billprest> Yes, where's Jeff been?
<BabyRain> No word from Jeff.
<GMonkey> Don't know. :(
<Barbie> Haven't heard from Jeff since late Nov....I'm really 
worried!
<GMonkey> He could be working.
<Volterra> maybe he's overseas working or something?
<Volterra> or forgot to pay an internet bill?
<Billprest> Is Jeff really going to be on JAG?
<Barbie> is he??
<GMonkey> That's what LaLa said.
<Barbie> cool!
<Barbie> do we have an airing date yet?
<GMonkey> No, I don't think he's even filmed an episode yet.
<GMonkey> Maybe that's what he's doing now.
*** KidLaLa (Pohl@140.211.94.104) has joined #TOTGM
<KidLaLa> Trying again.
<BabyRain> I hope he's on 7th Heaven sometime.  I actually get 
that show now.
<Barbie> lala... we're worried about Jeff... have you heard from 
him?
<GMonkey> She's back!
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o KidLaLa
<Billprest> Lesley!  Is it really you?
<KidLaLa> Nein, and I'm miffed at him too.
<KidLaLa> Hey, Beel, it's me.
<GMonkey> Don't forget, Karen.  It's on in an hour.
<Barbie> is he really going tobe on JAG?
<KidLaLa> We hope so.
<Billprest> Lesley, I've been too polite to ask Barbie her age, 
but if she's in her 40s, then we have parity with these little 
monkeys.
<KidLaLa> Finally!!  40s rule!
<BabyRain> She's not.
<Billprest> Wait, wait.
* BabyRain knows all. :)
<Barbie> well, almost 40s.... 39 here!
<KidLaLa> Where are Tom and Jeff when we need them?
<Billprest> WHAT?
<KidLaLa> Close enough Barbie, you're on the oldsters side.
<GMonkey> Twentysomethings win again!!!
<Barbie> yeah!!!!
<BabyRain> Can it be someone in their thirties?  This is unheard 
of for a Monkiac!
* Billprest makes Barbie an honorary 40-something.
* BabyRain slaps Billprest around a bit with a large trout
* KidLaLa seconds the award to Barbie.
* Barbie curtsies deeply in appreciation
<GMonkey> I'll make a special Monkiac dispensation for Barbie.
* KidLaLa hurriedly puts on her trout guard.
<Barbie> thanks !
<KidLaLa> What's shaking in Alaska?
<Barbie> shaking... uh, well, hopefully not the earth!
* BabyRain sulks.
<KidLaLa> That's what I was checking on.  :)
<KidLaLa> Why does BR sulk?
<Barbie> knock on wood.. no real shakers here lately!
<Billprest> Lesley - are things drying out?
<BabyRain> I guess I'm not as sultry as I used to be.
* BabyRain reaches for the eyelash curler
<Barbie> Kodiak had a 4.2 the other day.. we didn't feel it here, 
though
<KidLaLa> They were, right now it just started snowing.
<KidLaLa> The bears did I bet.  :)
<KidLaLa> Is BabyRain awake this time?  :)
<BabyRain> yup
<BabyRain> and not a sheep in sight
<KidLaLa> Goodie!
<KidLaLa> I love my sheep.  They are so funny.
<GMonkey> Is there a smurf in sight? :)
<Volterra> The sheep are *definitely* cute :)
<BabyRain> No smurf.
<GMonkey> Sorry. :(
* GMonkey will begin the search for the Smurf tomorrow
<Billprest> Hey everybody, I gots to go.  Barbie, nice to meet 
you.  Stay warm.
<BabyRain> That's okay.  I don't have room for a smurf.
<KidLaLa> BYE BILL!!
<GMonkey> Leaving so soon, Bill?!
<BabyRain> Bye, Bill!
<BabyRain> Love ya, Bill!
<Billprest> Lesley (my middle-aged but surprisingly young 
compadre) - bye!
<Volterra> bye bill!
<Billprest> Aw shucks
<GMonkey> Bye-bye, Bill.
* Billprest blushes
<KidLaLa> Drive safe now, young feller.
<Billprest> bye
<Billprest> Yeppers, ma'am.
*** Billprest (Billpresto@172-23-108.ipt.aol.com) has left #totgm
* GMonkey realizes this means the 20somethings are back in 
control
<BabyRain> And we're all goils! :)
<KidLaLa> MW will some day realize how unimportant that is.
<GMonkey> Oooo, girl chat!!!
<BabyRain> Let's talk FCs! :)
<GMonkey> I've got power now and I'm gonna use it! :)
*** BabyRain sets mode: -o GMonkey
<BabyRain> Oh yeah? :)
<GMonkey> Hey!!!
*** BabyRain sets mode: +o GMonkey
<GMonkey> I meant the 20something power!!!
<BabyRain> Oh.  Forgive me. :)
<GMonkey> We girls have to stick together. :)
<GMonkey> And what can we say about FCs that we haven't already 
said?
<Barbie> yeah!
<BabyRain> But Pat, aren't you just barely twentysomething?
<BabyRain> :)
* Barbie wonders what FCs are
<GMonkey> Stop sucking up, Karen. :)
<GMonkey> Furry Chests!!!
<Barbie> oh cool!
<GMonkey> So what else do you want to say about FCs, Karen?
<BabyRain> Does Jeff have an FC?  (since we can't ask him)
<BabyRain> I like FCs.  
<Barbie> I vote yes, he does.
<BabyRain> I imagine Leo did, as well.
* Barbie looks closely at photo he sent her
* Volterra thinks so too
* Volterra thwaps BabyRainwith a tickled trout
<GMonkey> And LaLa says....
<BabyRain> Oh yeah?  Thwap you. :)
<GMonkey> LaLa?
<BabyRain> LaLa?
<BabyRain> jinx
<GMonkey> Must be working.
<Barbie> Lala is taking some registrations..working
<GMonkey> Well, I'll answer for her.
<GMonkey> She told me that you get to see Jeff's FC in an episode 
of Magnum.
* GMonkey is surprised that Barbie doesn't remember
* BabyRain is, too
* BabyRain is eating Skittles
<Barbie> you do....   {smiling}... and she does.... remember
<GMonkey> You're glowing, Barbie. :)
<Barbie> hehehehehe
<BabyRain> I think that's a blush
<Barbie> more like it
<BabyRain> Do you think SC has heard the Smurf story yet?
<Barbie> dunno
<Volterra> I bet Tom wasted no time in emailing him at *least*! 
*grin*
<BabyRain> Barbie, have you heard the Smurf story?
<Barbie> nope... do I get to hear it now?
<GMonkey> He's been to busy to read his email even if Tom had 
sent it to him.
<BabyRain> Barbie, read the log from two Saturdays ago (the 11th)
<Barbie> okay.. will do!
<Barbie> uhoh.. we're all getting quiet again
* Volterra is listening to Evita
<BabyRain> I get to watch 7th Heaven in 30 some minutes
* GMonkey 's butt is falling asleep
<GMonkey> I need a better chair!
<Volterra> BR: cool :)
<KidLaLa> Sorry guys, had to take some registrations over the 
phone. 
<Volterra> you'll be caught up in no time if they keep showing 
repeats every other week
<GMonkey> You should have told them the class was full!
<Volterra> although at least they're showing repeats ... L&C are 
off the air for the Feb sweeps!!!
<KidLaLa> Has 7th Heaven been renewed?
<GMonkey> Not yet for next season.  Too soon for that.
<KidLaLa> When do you think they'll know?
<GMonkey> Don't worry, Leanne.  I'm pretty sure we'll have new 
episodes at least through February.
<GMonkey> They usually don't make that announcement until early 
May.
<Barbie> LaLa is going to make sure we know the air date of 
Jeff's appearance on JAG... right??
<KidLaLa> I'm sho nuff gonna try....
<KidLaLa> Weird coincendence regarding JAG...
<KidLaLa> Sorry, too tired to type properly.
<Barbie> yes/////
<Barbie> <---listening
* BabyRain perks up
<KidLaLa> Ready for the JAG story..?
<GMonkey> Yes, mommy, tell us the JAG story. :)
<KidLaLa> Friday, Jan. 13, I watched the opening credits for JAG 
and the supervising producer and writer was Tom Towler.
<KidLaLa> Amazingly enough I took a registration for a Tom Towler 
earlier that evening.  I think there's a chance it's his dad.
<Barbie> cool!!!!!
<BabyRain> !
<GMonkey> So we can get him to liberate the Gold Monkey?!
<GMonkey> We're hitting another lull.
<Barbie> just a breather
<GMonkey> Well, we should be wrapping this up soon.
<Barbie> I need to start making dinner in a little while
<GMonkey> Don't want Karen to miss the beginning of 7th Heaven.
<Barbie> sure is fun!!
<KidLaLa> Don't you dare!!  I just locked up so I can talk now.
<Barbie> we don't get 7th heaven here
<KidLaLa> I don't get it here either.
<GMonkey> I think a higher percentage of Canadians can see the 
show compared to Americans.
<Barbie> probably
<KidLaLa> Those darn Canucks!
<GMonkey> Let's get 'em!!! :)
<BabyRain> ;p
<KidLaLa> Don't want em.
<GMonkey> They'll attack us with dulse. :)
<GMonkey> Dulse and hockey pucks. :)
<KidLaLa> And moose!
<BabyRain> Barbie has more moose than I do.
<KidLaLa> Maybe.  Fairbanks gets more in town than Anchorage, 
although they both do.
<GMonkey> We're lulling again.
<GMonkey> Perhaps we should save ourselves for Saturday's chat.

<BabyRain> same here

<GMonkey> Good.  May need to cobble together a log.
* Barbie looks at popcorn on floor under the desk... traces of 
party mode last night
<KidLaLa> How's the Pepsi Pup?
<KidLaLa> Where's MY popcorn!!
<GMonkey> On the floor under the desk. :)
<KidLaLa> HAHA.
<Barbie> I had to get back on through Hearndon, VA
<GMonkey> Aren't you glad I was finally able to get back on?
<KidLaLa> Barbie, your "kids" haven't discovered it yet?
<KidLaLa> MW, not especially, we had to stop telling stories.  :)
<BabyRain> Pepsi is fine.  Barking at Doug at the moment.
<Volterra> brb
<Barbie> I don't know how to log yet.. I'm new
<KidLaLa> Why barking at daddy?
<BabyRain> She wants out.
<BabyRain> I wish I could merely bark at Doug and get what I 
want. ;)
<GMonkey> We all know what you want. :)
<BabyRain> Hello?
* Volterra is back
<GMonkey> FC!!!
<BabyRain> Hahahahahaha...
<Barbie> My husband and I got on IRC last night (our first time!) 
and drank champagne and ate popcorn...
<Barbie> nope.. the "kids" aka kitties, have been sleeping it off 
today
<KidLaLa> BR, did MW let you know that JM has a FC?
<BabyRain> And the IRS does the ABC?
* KidLaLa loves acronyms (initials too).
<KidLaLa> Coo coo ca choo.
<BabyRain> I figured JM had an FC.  FTR, TG 2.
<KidLaLa> How did you find that out?
<BabyRain> I asked.
<BabyRain> :)
<KidLaLa> But did you share...NO!  :)
<BabyRain> I don't know how to share. :)
<KidLaLa> MW and TG should share his FC.
<Barbie> I remember when my dog was a puppy... I used to nickname 
him eat-sleep-poop, because that's all he did
<BabyRain> ???
<BabyRain> That's all my dog does now.
<BabyRain> I understand babies are the same way.
<KidLaLa> Dogs are like that.
<KidLaLa> BR, ???
<BabyRain> Oh, it's almost time for me to go.
<KidLaLa> NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
<BabyRain> MW and TG should share his FC?
<GMonkey> We should start to wrap this up.
<BabyRain> ???
* Volterra listens to the echo around the room
<GMonkey> LaLa wants me to marry Tom. :)
<KidLaLa> Righto.
<KidLaLa> I'm never participating again!!  :)
<KidLaLa> Well, date at least.
<GMonkey> But we all know that he's smitten with you, BR!!! :)
<BabyRain> Barbie is major lagged.  4.5 min
<KidLaLa> Except MW doesn't care much for horsies.
<Volterra> BR, yeah I was wondering about that one too
* Volterra hands GM the monkey wrapping paper and ribbon
<GMonkey> Yikes!  I guess it really is time to say goodnight.
<BabyRain> He's not so smitten that he feels compelled to write 
me everyday. (sniff)  I was really enjoying it.  Oh well.
<GMonkey> Maybe he's met another sultry Canadian. :)
<Barbie> LOl
<Barbie> I think we all told her he does
<Barbie> :)
<Barbie> my eyes are crossing from staring at this screen too 
long!
<Barbie> I haven't spent this much time only doing one thing.... 
in MONTHS!!!!!
* Volterra had rather painful visions of Tom losing part of his 
FC to give to MW!!
<KidLaLa> I can't believe you guys are deserting me after 
pestering me so to join in.  Sigh.
<BabyRain> Sounds like the Merchant of Venice.
<BabyRain> I have to go watch 7th Heaven
<Barbie> LaLa...I DID tell you the Acronym names of our "twins"?
<KidLaLa> A likely story.
* Volterra refrains from commenting on Barb's last comment
<KidLaLa> Barbie, si, correcto.  Me like Navy acronyms.
<Volterra> enjoy, Karen!
<KidLaLa> Me like kitties too.
<GMonkey> Pay attention to the shoes, Karen. :)
<BabyRain> Thnx
<BabyRain> Meowr
<KidLaLa> Good luck.
<BabyRain> The shoes.  Right.
<BabyRain> And Pat?
<GMonkey> Yes?
<KidLaLa> Getting Br to look at his shoes.
<BabyRain> Watch out for the ebb tide when  gophers play violins.
<Volterra> oohhhh, code phrases .... *grin*
<KidLaLa> Violins...don't play that instrument.
<GMonkey> Yes, Comrade. :)
<Barbie> ASROC (Anti-submarine rocket) and CIWS (close-in weapons 
system.... Navy acronyms..
<KidLaLa> It's about MW's bedtime, eh?
<GMonkey> So, same time next week?
<KidLaLa> Not me, never again.  :)
<Volterra> yep, and see you on Saturday too ....
<GMonkey> Yes, time for MW to go beddy-by. :)
<GMonkey> Yep, 1pm ET, 10 am PT.
<KidLaLa> Wusses.
* Volterra throws LaLa a mintie to make her feel better
<KidLaLa> Thanks, Leanne.  Glad somebody's sweet.  :)
* BabyRain really needs a laptop
<BabyRain> Gotta go.  Bye, goils!  All e,ail welcome! :)
<Barbie> pr.. az-rock and sea-whiz
<BabyRain> email
*** BabyRain has quit IRC (Going to go look at shoes...)
<GMonkey> So, I guess this is good night.
<Volterra> ok, I'm off too ... later all!
*** Volterra has quit IRC (Yes, we're together now!)
<KidLaLa> She'll forget all about the shoes as soon as the set is
