<GMonkey> Howdy!
<BabyRain> Hi.  I'm jusdt running out to Sobey's.  Be right back. 
 In the meantime, can you email Tom with instructions?
<GMonkey> You didn't hear the beep again?!!!
*** BabyRain sets mode: +o GMonkey
<GMonkey> All rightie.
*** KidLaLa (Pohl@140.211.103.76) has joined #TOTGM
<BabyRain> Thanks!  I don't know if he'll come or not -- he sent 
me email and sais he was only staying on for a bit more and 
since his timestamp isn't reliable, I don't know when he wrote 
it
<KidLaLa> LaLa is here.
<BabyRain> brb
<BabyRain> Hi LaLa!
<KidLaLa> Hi, BR!
<KidLaLa> Hi, MW!
<GMonkey> I'm here kinda.
<KidLaLa> So what's new.  :)
<GMonkey> Karen had to run out to Sobey's(?)
<GMonkey> I'm emailing Tom with the instructions on how to get 
on.
<KidLaLa> Whatever.  Where's my power?
<GMonkey> I'll be back in a minute.
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o KidLaLa
<KidLaLa> Thanks.
<GMonkey> Happy? :)
<KidLaLa> Yes.
*** KidLaLa changes topic to "Long Live King Jeff"
<GMonkey> Gee, give the woman some power and look what happens? 
:)
<KidLaLa> That's for Lorie, who can't be with us today.
<KidLaLa> Terrible, isn't is?
<KidLaLa> it?
<GMonkey> Poor Lorie. :(
<KidLaLa> What's my ping time like?
<GMonkey> But Barbie should be here today.
-> [KidLaLa] PING
<KidLaLa> Good, me like Barbie.
<GMonkey> 1 sec ping!!!
<KidLaLa> Not that one, though, MW. :)
<KidLaLa> Great ping!!
<GMonkey> Good girl, LaLa. :)
<KidLaLa> What about.....Otter?
<GMonkey> I think so.  Haven't heard anything from her.
<KidLaLa> Marilyn?  Leanne?
<GMonkey> I assume Leanne.  Don't know about Marilyn.
<KidLaLa> Drying out your way yet?
<GMonkey> I'm sorry.  I didn't take a head count.
<GMonkey> Thinks it's still misting out, but it's not as bad as 
it was last night and this morning.
<KidLaLa> Good.  Is BR skipping her meeting or was it cancelled 
or what?
<GMonkey> How's the weather out in Orygun?
<GMonkey> Skipping.
<KidLaLa> Freezing rain.  But warming up.
<GMonkey> I feel so guilty about it too. :(
<KidLaLa> Yeah, right, sure you do.
<GMonkey> I do.  Really.  Though I'm happy she's gonna be here.
<KidLaLa> ME TOO!!
<GMonkey> She was thrilled when I just told her you were already 
online.
<KidLaLa> And hey, they've got all kinds of classes going on in 
here today.  Said they'll be open til 3 my time.
<GMonkey> YIPPEE!!!!
<KidLaLa> Amazing, eh?
<GMonkey> Now, they don't have regularly scheduled classes there?
<KidLaLa> No, usually just one time computer classes.
<GMonkey> :(
<KidLaLa> Not on weekends anyway.
<GMonkey> Bummer.
<GMonkey> Anything scheduled for next week?
<KidLaLa> Don't know yet, but will find out.  At least today I'm 
in an office where I can close the door.
<GMonkey> COOL!!
<KidLaLa> I can make faces at you guys the whole time.
<GMonkey> Fine.  Be that way! :)
<KidLaLa> It's so much fun. BTW, heard from Harvey lately?
<GMonkey> Nope. :(  Guess I should drop him a line.
<KidLaLa> I need to, I owe him a letter.  Hope he's doing 
alright.
<GMonkey> I'm sure he is.
<KidLaLa> It's pouring rain in Southern CA so those folks should 
participate.  To nasty to be outdoors.
<KidLaLa> Make that too.
<GMonkey> I understood ya. :)
<GMonkey> Hope they don't have any mudslides out there.
<KidLaLa> BTW, I'm drinking DP, are you happy? :P
<GMonkey> What?  No Tab?
<KidLaLa> Jeff said he's safe from mudslides where he is.
<KidLaLa> No Tab.  MOOOOOAAAAANNN.
<GMonkey> Poor LaLa.
<KidLaLa> It's so sad.  :(
<GMonkey> Actually, I haven't had any DP in a couple of weeks.
<KidLaLa> WHAT?!!!
<GMonkey> I've been trying to stick to water.
<GMonkey> Better for ya, ya know. :)
<KidLaLa> Good MW.  Your kidneys love you.
<GMonkey> All my body parts love me. :)
<GMonkey> With the exception of my hair. :)
<KidLaLa> I ain't touching that one.  :)
<KidLaLa> In about an hour I'll have to disappear for a bit to 
move my car.
<GMonkey> Where'd ya park?
<KidLaLa> A block away in a two-hour spot.
<GMonkey> Tsk. Tsk.
<KidLaLa> Trudged through the freezing rain for you!!
<GMonkey> Thank you kindly.
<KidLaLa> What kind of food can you reward me with?  :P
<GMonkey> But you and I both know you trudged to the freezing 
rain for King Jeff! :)
<KidLaLa> Not true.
<GMonkey> I have some day old microwave popcorn.
<KidLaLa> Yuck, keep going....
<GMonkey> Uh...bought some oranges today.
<KidLaLa> ...no, try again.
<GMonkey> How about some ginger snaps?
<KidLaLa> No chocolate?
<GMonkey> Sorry. :(
<KidLaLa> Yes, me love ginger snaps. Got milk?
<GMonkey> Think so.
* GMonkey passes the cookies and milk to LaLa
* KidLaLa sighs in complete bliss.
<KidLaLa> Thanks, monkey mom.
<GMonkey> I'd be in complete bliss is more people would show up.
<KidLaLa> Not quite time yet, is it?
<GMonkey> A couple of minutes.
<GMonkey> But you'd think everyone would be eager to jump on 
early. :)
<KidLaLa> Maybe they're having trouble getting connected, I did.
<GMonkey> So did I.
<GMonkey> :( :(
<KidLaLa> Getting too many people trying to share the servers, I 
reckon.
<BabyRain> back
<GMonkey> And all of them trying to get in on the MonkeyChat.
<KidLaLa> And we're glad to see you, girlfriend.
<BabyRain> What did I miss?
<KidLaLa> Lots and lots.  Not.
<GMonkey> We just talked about the weather.
<BabyRain> I'm going to try to switch ser vers
<KidLaLa> And you missed getting some ginger snaps.
<GMonkey> Okey dokey.
<BabyRain> I have Oreos.
<GMonkey> Just buy 'em?
<KidLaLa> Close enough.  :)
*** BabyRain has quit IRC (Going to get more Diet Pepsi!!!)
<KidLaLa> Two outta three ain't bad.  :)
*** PepsiDog (babyrain@stjhts03c05.nbnet.nb.ca) has joined #TOTGM
<PepsiDog> Yeah, I just bought them.
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o PepsiDog
<KidLaLa> Karen, you dog you, how ya been?
<PepsiDog> Where'd the topic go?
<GMonkey> Guess who changed it?
<KidLaLa> It's there.
* KidLaLa smirks.
*** PepsiDog is now known as BabyRain
<BabyRain> My guess would be The Kid. :)
<GMonkey> Good guess. :)
<BabyRain> Any word from Tom or Jeff?
<GMonkey> Not today. :(
-> [BabyRain] PING
-> [KidLaLa] PING
* KidLaLa smirks.
<BabyRain> I think we might' ve missed Tom.
*** Volterra (danswler@sdts3-10.znet.com) has joined #totgm
<BabyRain> Yeah, I get it.
<GMonkey> Hey, Leanne!
<BabyRain> Hi, Leanne.
<Volterra> I made it!!
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o Volterra
<KidLaLa> Hi, Leanne!
<KidLaLa> BR, they made fun of Canucks last episode.
<Volterra> Hi all!
<BabyRain> What did they say?
<KidLaLa> Well, just Newfies, which you probably don't mind. :)
<BabyRain> Does the American public know what a Newfie is?
<KidLaLa> Well, they did preface it with Newfoundlanders.
<KidLaLa> Then used the term Newfies.
*** Barbie (Barbiester@ppp_2.aonline.com) has joined #TOTGM
<KidLaLa> Hey, Barbie too!!  Howdy!
<GMonkey> Ooooo, the room is filling up! :)
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o Barbie
<Barbie> *yawn*   g'mornin' all!
<Volterra> hi Barb!
<KidLaLa> This is great.
<BabyRain> Good afternoon, Barbie. :)
<GMonkey> Worth driving through freezing rain for, huh LaLa? :)
<KidLaLa> Yepper.
<Barbie> good morning/afternoon, BR
<BabyRain> Patricia, did you email Tom after I went to Sobey's?
<Volterra> LaLa -- it's raining up north already?
<GMonkey> Yep.  Haven't heard anything back yet.
<KidLaLa> Barbie, did my eyes read the paper right, Anchorage had 
a heat wave Friday?
<BabyRain> We just have rain here.
<KidLaLa> Leanne, yes, freezing rain, how about your way?
<Barbie> LaLa.. could be.. if I remember it correctly, we got up 
to 35... 40 in some places!
<KidLaLa> My paper said 64, which I figured had to be a typo.
<Barbie> No 64s here...
<KidLaLa> Sorry.
<BabyRain> Or here.
<Barbie> actually we've been getting to -15 at night
<KidLaLa> Maybe down Leanne's way.
<GMonkey> Bet Leanne has 64s.
<KidLaLa> Barbie, that's cold for Los Anchorage.
<Volterra> LaLa: overcast but no rain yet
<Barbie> and this morning it's 10 above zero
<Volterra> GM: uh huh.
<Volterra> It was lovely at Disneyland yesterday
<Barbie> LaLa.. that's cold for Honolulu!
<KidLaLa> Barbie, LOL.
<Barbie> LOL
<GMonkey> 64 is cold for Honolulu. :)
*** Volterra changes topic to "Let's talk the Monkey! (woo!)"
<Barbie> sure is!
<KidLaLa> Oh, yes, how was Disneyland?
<BabyRain> How big is Disneyland?
* KidLaLa is miffed now at Volterra. :)
<Volterra> My legs hurt, my feet hurt I had a *fantastic* time
<BabyRain> Can we got there in September?
<GMonkey> 742 sq. miles.
<BabyRain> You're kidding.
<BabyRain> Seriously.
<GMonkey> Yeah, I am. :)
* Barbie has been to D-World, but not D-Land
<KidLaLa> It's actually tiny compared to 
<Volterra> GM: I'm glad I didn't know that before I went!
<KidLaLa> (continued) to DisneyWorld.
<GMonkey> Monkey Woman was kidding.
<GMonkey> But I can find out how big it is.
<KidLaLa> MW does that, you know.
<KidLaLa> It's big enough.
<GMonkey> If you'd like to hold on a minute.
* Volterra thwaps MonkeyWoman with a  set of Micky Mouse ears
<KidLaLa> Well, maybe not for Karen.  :P
<Volterra> it's probably on their webpage
<BabyRain> Are we talking a few city blocks, or are we talking 
the size of a small city?
<GMonkey> Whatever MW doesn't know, she knows how to find out.
<KidLaLa> Kind of in between, BR.
<BabyRain> Monkey Woman knows everything.
<KidLaLa> A large neighborhood.
<GMonkey> Disneyland is a small world after all. :)
<Barbie> I hope you guys will excuse me for about 15 minutes... I 
overslept this morning..got up at 8 instead of 6 when hubby 
went to work, as I had planned on doing..
<BabyRain> BOOOOO!
<KidLaLa> Really large neighborhood.
* GMonkey prepares to be slappe
<GMonkey> slapped, even
* BabyRain slaps GMonkey around a bit with a large trout
<KidLaLa> Come back soon, Barbie.
<Volterra> oh gods, the small world ride ....
<BabyRain> Didn't want to disappoint you.
<Volterra> Hubby Dan is checking out the map
<GMonkey> Thank you.  I've been hanging around with the 
punmasters too long. :)
<Volterra> it doesn't say
<KidLaLa> PUNMASTER!!!
<Barbie> Oh, I promise to come back in just a few minutes!!
<BabyRain> Okay. :)
<KidLaLa> Well, okay, then.
<KidLaLa> Camai!
<BabyRain> Camai???
<GMonkey> Get some caffeine in your system, girl!
<KidLaLa> Like Aloha, but in Eskimo.
<BabyRain> Ich haben caffeine.
<KidLaLa> Can mean hello or goodbye.
<GMonkey> DP, BR?
<BabyRain> Mucho DP. :)
* KidLaLa goes for some DP too.
<GMonkey> I've been laying off the DP for the past couple of 
weeks.
<GMonkey> Sticking to water.
<BabyRain> Why?
<Volterra> Much better for you, eh?
<GMonkey> Need to drink more water.
<BabyRain> Do Aussies say "eh"?
<GMonkey> And water's cheaper than DP. :)
<KidLaLa> Aussies say "ta."
<Volterra> BR: no -- I've associated with Canucks in the past
<BabyRain> I hate water.
<Volterra> indeed we do, LaLa
* Barbie is heading for the Kona coffee, and will be back in just 
a few!
<GMonkey> Bring back some for everyone, Barbie. :)
<KidLaLa> Volterra, my cousin married an Aussie.
<Barbie> will do!
<GMonkey> Still no word from Tom or Jeff. :(
<GMonkey> Maybe they want to be fashionably late.
<KidLaLa> Jeff usually shows about an hour into a chat.
<Volterra> LaLa: ahh, so that's why you're so knowledgable
<KidLaLa> Me?
<BabyRain> Tom probably can't get back on AOL (Always Ouuta 
Lines)
<Barbie> gotta go... wanting to stay...
<Volterra> Say: who was it that told me to go into the Haunted 
Mansion
<KidLaLa> BR, ROTFL.
<GMonkey> I actually got on this morning.  I was shocked!
<KidLaLa> LaLa did, Volterra, it's my favorite.
<BabyRain> Yeah, I saw that the pic was up.
<GMonkey> Did everybody see BR's pic on the BB today?
<BabyRain> So people actually read these logs? ;)
<KidLaLa> Not me.  Shucks.
<GMonkey> I TOLD YOU!!!
<BabyRain> I didn't believe you, Monkey Woman.  I am sorry.
<Volterra> LaLa: it was cool :) especially when Dan kissed me 
when it got dark :) and the cute little ghost we got to take 
home
* Barbie quotes her favorite actor (Jeff) who recently quoted a 
famous actor.."I'LL BE BACK !"
<GMonkey> You'll be proud of her little contribution to the SAVE 
THE MONKEY cause.
<Volterra> MW: I haven't looked at the page yet today
<KidLaLa> That's so cool, Leanne.
*** Barbie (Barbiester@ppp_2.aonline.com) has left #TOTGM
<KidLaLa> That's so cool, Barbie.
<GMonkey> BARBIE!!!
<BabyRain> She's going for coffee
<KidLaLa> That girl doesn't know if she's coming or going.
<BabyRain> Sounds like me on any given day. :)
<Volterra> She finds it very difficult to leave us :)
<BabyRain> I can understamd that.
<KidLaLa> I'd look at the BB now, but this computer doesn't have 
that much strength.
<GMonkey> I'll email ya the pic, LaLa, if you want.
<KidLaLa> Hey, good, that's all it can handle right now, MIRC and 
e-mail.
<BabyRain> It looks much better on the BB, though. :)  It has 
more presence there. :)
<GMonkey> Okay.  Leanne, do you want to see the pic?
<Volterra> GM: now?
<KidLaLa> I'll check it out Monday too, since MY monitor is much 
better than this one.
<Volterra> can I check it out after El Chat?
<GMonkey> I'm emailing it to Lesley, so I could email it to you 
too?
<GMonkey> Sure.
<KidLaLa> Thoughtful MW.
* GMonkey blushes
<BabyRain> Benevolent MW.
<KidLaLa> BR, you have presence everywhere!
* GMonkey blushes again
<Volterra> GM: If it's ok, I'd rather look at it on the page ... 
my email takes forever to download with pics
* BabyRain blushes, too
<GMonkey> Okay.  But BR's pic is small.  Only 11K.
* KidLaLa decides to get out of the cosmetic business.
* BabyRain decides to get out of the Oreos.
<Volterra> hmm, well that is considerably smaller than goosebumps 
... ok. send it on over hughy
* KidLaLa decides to get into the nutty fudge cookies.
<GMonkey> Hughy???!
* Volterra is still having her morning coffee
<GMonkey> As opposed to Louie and Dewey?
<KidLaLa> LOL.
<GMonkey> Methinks Leanne spent too much time in Disneyland.
<Volterra> GM: Aussie saying. "Send it on down, Hughie" is 
praying for rain.
<KidLaLa> Leanne, take my hughie, please.
<Volterra> I saw hardly any characters *pout* but then we had our 
little nephew with us and he's scared of them, so if anyone 
spotted one, we steered clear
<GMonkey> I'm gonna go send you folks your pic and check on Tom 
and Jeff. brb
<Volterra> ok
<KidLaLa> Leanne, did you do the Matterhorn?
<KidLaLa> Leanne, are you lagging?
<KidLaLa> Or just ignoring me?  :)
<Volterra> possible lag.
<Volterra> the Matterhorn was the first ride I did
<Volterra> it was pretty cool :)
<BabyRain> I've never even been to Disneyland ...
<KidLaLa> Leanne, yeah, not super fast but fun.
<BabyRain> or Disney World ...
<KidLaLa> BR, we'll take you there later this year.
<BabyRain> Okay. :)
<Volterra> I was set for all the other "roller coaster" rides 
except Space Mountain because that's in th dark and Idon't 
like that
<BabyRain> Can I get mouse ears?
<Volterra> BR: we can take the jungle cruise as part of the TOTGM 
Convention
<GMonkey> How much do the mouse ears cost anyway?  $50?
<Volterra> BR: uh huh and have your name embroidered on them :)
<BabyRain> How do they make it dark for Space Mountain?
<Volterra> $6 for plain mouse ears, I don't know how much the 
embroidery cost
<BabyRain> Fifty bucks?  AMERICAN?
<KidLaLa> MW and BR, the picture is AWESOME!!  I'm gonna print it 
out and post it in my office.
* BabyRain feels faint
<Volterra> BR: it's completely inside --- they use lighting 
effects and this sort of thing
<GMonkey> Everything's expensive in the Magic Kingdom.
<BabyRain> Glad you like it, Lesley. But it probably won't print 
vert well, given the black background
<KidLaLa> I have some MM ears with my name embroidered on them 
someplace in a closet.
<Volterra> however, if you want a fancy goofy hat you're looking 
at $25+
<KidLaLa> As long as it prints very well.  :P
<BabyRain> A roller coaster inside?  How big is this thing?
<Volterra> BR: the roller coaster>
<KidLaLa> Inside roller coasters are way cool!!
<KidLaLa> Actually, all roller coasters are way cool.
* BabyRain gets ill just thinking about it
<Volterra> BR: not huge
<Volterra> BR: none of the rollercoasters go very very fast or 
upside down or anything like that. There're just drops and 
sharp bends
<KidLaLa> So, any plans to talk Gold Monkey today?  Or only if 
one of the boys shows up?
* BabyRain is listening to Dead or Alive
<GMonkey> The song or the group, BR?
<BabyRain> I'd talk Monkey  but my curiosity got the better of me
<KidLaLa> BR, who is it this time?
<BabyRain> The group
<BabyRain> I was feeling kina 80s today.
<GMonkey> BR: And you admit this to all of us, knowing full well 
that this log will be posted?!
<KidLaLa> As opposed to the song or the show.
<BabyRain> kinda, even
<Volterra> is that the guy withth log dreadlocks?
<Volterra> log=long
<BabyRain> Look, Patricia, after the things I have said on the BB 
and in the logs (which people apparently read), what's one 
more?  
<BabyRain> Can it be worse than the Smurf? :)
<KidLaLa> Yeah, you're definitely beyond salvation, BR. :P
* Volterra chuckles
<BabyRain> :)
<GMonkey> "You spin me round, right baby, right round, like a 
record baby.  Right round, round, round"
<Volterra> So, what monkey talk are we having today?
<KidLaLa> We wouldn't have it any other way.
<BabyRain> Let's discuss wardrobe.
<GMonkey> Well, something like that anyway. :)
<Volterra> ew, I hated that song. (Sorry BR)
<KidLaLa> Wardrobe is good.
<Volterra> I liked Sarah's wardrobe -- and I want Jake's hat and 
jacket :)
<GMonkey> I know LaLa liked Jake's pants.
<BabyRain> THE HAT IS MINE. 
<KidLaLa> What 30s/show look is everyone planning on wearing to 
the reunion?
<GMonkey> Fine.  Keep the hat.  WHAT'S UNDER THE HAT IS MINE! :)
<KidLaLa> MW, just the cool ones, not the regular ones.
<BabyRain> What's under the pants is mine!  :) :)
<KidLaLa> MW, and under the shirt....
<BabyRain> mine
<Volterra> LaLa: I'll have to find a shop that sells something 
30's looking
<KidLaLa> BR, DEFINITELY beyond salvation.
* Volterra ROTFLs
<GMonkey> What's under the hat is already connect to what's under 
the shirt and pants. :)
<KidLaLa> Those kinds of shops have gotten popular lately.  I bet 
you can find someting.
* BabyRain is suddenly understanding why Stephen Collins is 
afraid to join the IRC chats.
<KidLaLa> Just now, BR?  :P
<GMonkey> He loves it!  He knows he loves it!! :)
<BabyRain> No doubt. :)
<KidLaLa> He adores being fought over.
<GMonkey> Tom sure did. :)
<BabyRain> He's mine.  (Okay, Pat -- your turn)
<Volterra> LaLa: I have a slightly 30's-ish looking dress already 
..
<GMonkey> That's okay.  Keep the cowboy.  I have dibs on the 
pilot! :)
<KidLaLa> Well, I have a cool dress that's right out of the 
Monkey Bar that I'm planning to wear.
<BabyRain> I'll get a hat somewhere.
<KidLaLa> Leanne, so two of us are set. :)
<BabyRain> Hey, maybe I'll get an eyepatch. :)
<KidLaLa> Not that dressing like Sarah would be my first 
choice...
<GMonkey> Maybe I'll just wear coveralls. :)
<BabyRain> We all know how much you love singing, LaLa
<Volterra> LaLa: yeah, worst comes to worst Ican always go in 
overalls. Jinx!
<KidLaLa> You do that, MW.  :)
<KidLaLa> To be technically correct girls, that's coveralls, not 
overalls.
<GMonkey> I'll only wear the coveralls though.  Nothing 
underneath. ;)
<KidLaLa> Corky wasn't a farm boy.  (At the risk of mentioning 
farm animals.)
<BabyRain> You tramp. :)
* GMonkey used the correct term
<Volterra> I still haven't figured out how that last line of "I 
get the blues when it rains" is supposed to go
<BabyRain> Really?
<BabyRain> LaLa, may I?
<Volterra> BR: I keep hitting Sarah's note instead of the "right" 
note.
<BabyRain> Is it the lyrics or the tune?
<KidLaLa> NO!  ABSOLUTELY NOT! You'll get MW started.
<BabyRain> Spoilsport. :(
<GMonkey> I already sang today. :)
<KidLaLa> Yes, I am, I don't want to have to leave.  :)
<BabyRain> I sent you sheep
<KidLaLa> Barbie must be making a ton of coffee.
<GMonkey> Monkey Woman is leaving for a little bit.  She needs 
caffeine.
<GMonkey> brb
<BabyRain> Maybe she had to go buy some.
<Volterra> tune
* KidLaLa turns her sheep on everyday. ;)
<BabyRain> Okay -- now's our chance!
<BabyRain> LaLa, I'm not touching that one.
<GMonkey> I haven't left yet, BR!
<KidLaLa> Spill it while she's gone.
<GMonkey> MWHAHAHAHAHA!!!
<BabyRain> Nope.  Uh-uh. :)
<KidLaLa> BR, course not, that's what I do.
<GMonkey> Maybe I won't tell you when I'm going.
* BabyRain grimaces
<GMonkey> Keep you on your best behavior.
<Volterra> LOL!
<GMonkey> Which we all know isn't so hot to begin with.
<KidLaLa> DON'T WANNA BEHAVE!
<BabyRain> Pat, I'm *always* gooooooood. :)
<GMonkey> So the Smurf said. :)
<KidLaLa> And LaLa is always superb.
<BabyRain> Somehow the climate is about right for Tom to arrive. 
:)
<KidLaLa> MW, LOL and so is the smurf.
<KidLaLa> You think so?
* Volterra chuckles at BR
<GMonkey> The smurf is laughing.  He's glowing. :)
<BabyRain> I hope so.
<KidLaLa> Don't feel bad about smurfs and sheep, BR.  After all, 
Tom's always going on about his horses. :P
<BabyRain> Maybe I'll go as Bobbie.
<KidLaLa> You're too nice to be Bobbie.  The smurf, however...
<BabyRain> I'll dress the smurf up as Bobbie.
<KidLaLa> There you go.
<BabyRain> I just have to find a Smurf.
* Volterra could always go as an island girl (wonder if I can get 
Hubby Dan into a "dog collar"?) -- I have that outfit
<KidLaLa> Leanne, I'm sure Tom, Jeff, etc. would approve.
<GMonkey> I wanna be Princess Koji!!!
<BabyRain> Any chance of getting Mr. Calvin to come, I wonder?
<GMonkey> LaLa, could you borrow Fred?
<KidLaLa> BR is gonna be Koji (or so I thought).
<KidLaLa> Sure!!
<GMonkey> I called her first. :)
<KidLaLa> Yes, we really need to get JC.
<BabyRain> Can Fred cross state lines?
<KidLaLa> Fred can.
<BabyRain> Fred couldn't come to canada.
<Volterra> Hubby Dan has stated his intention of going as 
Scardino's father (Scardino is an L&C character who wears 
Hawaiian shirts)
<KidLaLa> MW, the preview for next week's Millenium revealed that 
Wm. Lucking is going to be one.  Now I know he'll be popping 
in soon.
<BabyRain> I don't understamd, La.
<KidLaLa> That's on, not one.
<Volterra> Where's the tea?
* BabyRain passes Volterra some Red Rose.
<KidLaLa> Gandy's been in my face on tv a bunch lately and I told 
MW Friday I felt it meant he'd be joining us soon.
<KidLaLa> Then Friday night, I see him yet again.  It's a sign.
<Volterra> oh gee, BR, you don't read Hitchhiker's?
<GMonkey> But does he have access to a PC?
<KidLaLa> Recent events imply that it is so.
<BabyRain> No, I don't, Leanne.
<KidLaLa> Or better yet, maybe I'll see him in person somewhere.  
Num!
<Volterra> BR: Oh. Well that explains why you didn't get the gag.
<BabyRain> What gag?
* BabyRain hates being in the dark all by herself.
<KidLaLa> She's Canadian, give her a break (since nature didn't.) 
:)
* BabyRain slaps KidLaLa around a bit with a large trout
* KidLaLa cries for her mommy.
<GMonkey> Well, you started it, LaLa.
<BabyRain> Are we talking Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy?
<Volterra> "What? I don't understand. Where's the Tea?" it's what 
Arthur (the human) in "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" was 
accused of only saying
<GMonkey> Now both you girls, apologize and play nice.
<KidLaLa> That's my guess.
<Volterra> Yes!
<KidLaLa> Me, start something.  Naw.
<KidLaLa> DON'T WANNA.
<BabyRain> Doug would have caught it.
* KidLaLa slaps GMonkey around a bit with a large trout
<Volterra> Finish it on the other hand ....
* BabyRain slaps GMonkey around a bit with a large trout
<KidLaLa> Tag team!!
<BabyRain> YEAH!
<GMonkey> That's it you two.  No ginger snaps and milk!
<KidLaLa> Already finished mine, so there.  Neiner, neiner.
<Volterra> Mmmm .... ginger snaps. Haven't had those in an age 
...
<BabyRain> You just try to take my DP and Oreos. :)
<KidLaLa> Ginger snaps....drool.
* GMonkey give Volterra some ginger snaps because she's behaving 
herself
<Volterra> thank you, Oh Monkey Woman :)
<KidLaLa> MW likes suck ups.  :P
<GMonkey> Want some milk with those, Leanne? :)
* BabyRain steals Volterra's ginger snaps since MW didn't give 
*her* any, either.
<BabyRain> Oh, we're not going to talk cows now, are we?
* KidLaLa knows BR will share the stolen snaps with her.
* BabyRain shudders.
<GMonkey> Why should I give you ginger snaps, BR, when you hit me 
with trout for no reason?
<BabyRain> There was a reason.
<KidLaLa> Reason, reason, reason, no reason in this place.
<Volterra>  umm ...  I've never had milk with cookies before
<GMonkey> What?  Just because I told you two to play nice?
<BabyRain> You've never had milk and cookies?
<KidLaLa> Milk is virtually required for ginger snaps.
<GMonkey> How about some tea then, Leanne?
<BabyRain> Red Rose?
<KidLaLa> LOL.
<Volterra> DOn't drink tea -- unless I'm in Devonshire
<Volterra> never ever had milk and cookies.
<GMonkey> What do you drink with ginger snaps then?
<Volterra> had cookies, had milk, but not the two together
<BabyRain> I'm going to try that line out on Doug.  What was it 
again?
* KidLaLa beams over some Butterfinger BBs, Kit Kats and red 
licorice to BabyRain for being such a good playmate.
<BabyRain> You have KitKats down there???
* GMonkey know thinks she should run downstairs and get some 
ginger snaps to eat with her coffee
<Volterra> umm, cordial of some sort usually
<Volterra> "What? I don't understand. Where's the tea?"
<KidLaLa> Of course.  Gotta have a piece of that KitKat bar.
<BabyRain> Doug:  "What tea?" (pause) "What are you talking 
about?"
<Volterra> never had a Butterfinger either
<Volterra> BR: lol!
<BabyRain> I don't like Butterfingers
<KidLaLa> Make sure your teeth are in good shape before you do.
* KidLaLa takes back the Butterfinger BBs from the ingrate 
BabyRain.
* KidLaLa forwards them to Leanne to try.
<BabyRain> Doug: "Oh, wait.  The computer on the Heart of Gold 
made it."
<BabyRain> ???
<Volterra> BR: well, *tried* to ...
<GMonkey> Hey, girls, should we talk the Monkey?
*** KidLaLa changes topic to "Where the Boys Aren't"
<GMonkey> Woo! :)
<Volterra> As I recall the computer shut dow all systemseven 
though they were being attacked
<Volterra> just to make tea just right for Arthur
<KidLaLa> Is this a Monkey chat or a Hitchhiker's chat?  I think 
I've been duped.  :)
<Volterra> ok ok, back to the Monkey
<BabyRain> I want Corky.
<GMonkey> Or we could talk about The Hitchhiker, eh, BR? :)
<KidLaLa> Too bad I have dibs, BR.
* BabyRain smiles.  That oughtta fix her. :)
<Volterra> Br: you're going to go through the whole cast at this 
rate :)
<BabyRain> No, I don't want to talk about that.
<BabyRain> Gives me nightmares,
<KidLaLa> French fries, anyone?
<KidLaLa> MWAHAHAHAHA.
<BabyRain> I want the Goose.
<Volterra> BR: have you written the next instalment yet? are 
Corky and LaLa alrught?
<Volterra> alright even.
<BabyRain> It's not written yet.
<KidLaLa> Yeah, be me alive?
<KidLaLa> You procrastinator you!
<BabyRain> I'm not procrastinating.  I want it to be right.
<Volterra> I wonder if LaLa and Corky are making out under the 
boardwalk
<GMonkey> At least Lesley's with Corky.  I'm losing Jake to 
Sarah!! :(
<KidLaLa> Oooooohhh, there's a thought!  :P
<Volterra> it was an excellent instalnet .. nice cliffhanger
<BabyRain> I could write it right now, if you want, but it's not 
ready, and you'd wind up with Corky telling you he likes you 
only as a friend.
<KidLaLa> Fight harder, MW!
<BabyRain> Thanks, Leanne. :)
<Volterra> instalment even
<KidLaLa> BR, now you're being cruel. :(
<GMonkey> But he said he loved her, even after she started 
"singing"!
<BabyRain> He was delusional. :)
<KidLaLa> So, you know men.
<Volterra> maybe he loves her like a brother
<BabyRain> Sarah's a man?
<Volterra> He ain't heavy, he's my brother ....
<Volterra> I never got that line
<KidLaLa> BR, stop that.
<Volterra> no, Jake is the brother. :P~~~~~~
<BabyRain> He's a monk?
<KidLaLa> And Willie is the father.
<Volterra> maybe he loves her like a sibling
<BabyRain> :)
<Volterra> so there!
<KidLaLa> Like a close platonic friend.
<GMonkey> Oh, you people are only trying to cheer me up. :(
<GMonkey> I know when a man is in love. :(
<KidLaLa> You want Jake, you gotta pull out all the stops.
<Volterra> There's something I don't get in the pilot
* GMonkey decides to pout a bit because she's so cute when she 
pouts
<BabyRain> Yeah.  Like give me some ginger snaps. :)
<Volterra> (that's the first episode, not Jake)
<BabyRain> What, Leanne?
<KidLaLa> But the right woman can change his mind.
* GMonkey give Babyrain some ginger snaps to stop her whining :)
<Volterra> You know how Sarah and whats-his-name are arguing 
before Jake turns up ... was that the two spies acting? 
Because Sarah seemed so upset after
<GMonkey> No, I think Sam was just sexually harrassing Sarah.
<BabyRain> I wondered about that, too, Leanne.
<BabyRain> So why was she so upset?
<Volterra> but whats-his-name was being *really* sleazy and I 
can't see Sarah standing for that even in acting
<KidLaLa> No.  They weren't acting.  Sarah was disgusted with Sam 
for not being acting professional, but cared for him as a 
compadre.
<GMonkey> But, she still like him even though he was a scumball
<Volterra> hmm, maybe she was upset because she'd be all alone 
without support on BoraGora?
<KidLaLa> They had just been "assigned" to work together and Sam 
was seeing how far he could push the parameters of the 
relationship.
<Volterra> but surely the whole act was to get Sarah to BG via 
Jake?
<KidLaLa> Leanne, I think by that point she already had Jake 
lined up.
<BabyRain> But why did she cry so much abouthim at the end?
<BabyRain> Sam, that is?
<KidLaLa> Cause the script made her.  :)
<BabyRain> Okay.  Someone go get Don.
<KidLaLa> And she wanted Jake to know she was sensitive and 
caring. :)
<GMonkey> And vulnerable. :)
<Volterra> everything Sarah said was definitely feeding jake a 
line to get her on that plane
<BabyRain> And she wanted comfort. ;)
* Volterra makes a rude noise
<KidLaLa> You guys all want to be comforted by Jake.
<KidLaLa> Okay, time for Jeff to put in an appearance.
* BabyRain bursts into tears and is afraid she might fall into 
little pieces
<GMonkey> Well not all at once. :)
<Volterra> Mmmm ....
<KidLaLa> HAHAHAHAHA.
<Volterra> I'm sure we could take turns
<GMonkey> ME FIRST!
<KidLaLa> But could Jake?
<GMonkey> Remember his stamina. :)
<KidLaLa> Maybe in Karen's dream, but in reality?
<BabyRain> |
<KidLaLa> I think BR's still crying.
<BabyRain> | )
<GMonkey> I think BR's falling into little pieces. :)
<KidLaLa> Does that mean you're closing your eyes?
<Volterra> that looks like a pipe symbol. :)
<BabyRain> :-&
<KidLaLa> Or a pipe dream.
<KidLaLa> BR, take that out of your mouth!!
<BabyRain> Where's Tom?
<BabyRain> Where's Jeff?
<KidLaLa> With Jeff?
<BabyRain> Where's Barbie?
<GMonkey> Maybe he wanted *you* to help him, BR?
<KidLaLa> Sorry, couldn't resist.
<BabyRain> With Jeff? :)
<BabyRain> I emailed him before I asked you to.  No response.
<KidLaLa> We're here talking about them, maybe they're somewhere 
talking about us. :)
<BabyRain> Do you think Tom would teach meto ride, if I asked 
him?
<Volterra> Tom's probably out with his horsies
<Volterra> ride what, BR?
* Volterra ducks
* BabyRain snorts.
<KidLaLa> I could, BR.  If Tom would provide the horses.
<GMonkey> "She's got a ticket to ride.  She's got a ticket to 
ri-i-ide."
* KidLaLa returns, reads and laughs.
<Volterra> "But she don't care!"
<KidLaLa> MW, please. 
* GMonkey hopes LaLa likes the Beatles. :)
<GMonkey> Good!  LaLa does like the Beatles. :)
* KidLaLa does not like the Beatles.
<GMonkey> :(
* KidLaLa was laughing about the riding insinuation.
<BabyRain> * KidLaLa does not like anything.
<GMonkey> Well, at least Volterra does.
* KidLaLa like Jeff.
<GMonkey> Bet Jeff likes the Beatles.
* KidLaLa like Jeff a lot.
<KidLaLa> Can we stop with the music crap, please.
<GMonkey> :(
<KidLaLa> Can we please talk about the reuniob for a bit.  Pretty 
please.
<GMonkey> Let's get back to Monkeying around.
<KidLaLa> Make that renion.
<Volterra> the reunion ep?
<KidLaLa> MW, thank you.
<GMonkey> How about reunion?
<Volterra> movie, whatever>
<KidLaLa> Too slow.
<GMonkey> Or do you want to talk about the Gathering?
<KidLaLa> Whatever.  Sigh.
<GMonkey> They're two different things.
<BabyRain> The squadron's out, right?
<KidLaLa> Why?
<GMonkey> Think so, BR.
<GMonkey> 40 Guest minimum. :(
<KidLaLa> Just because we can't afford a private room, shouldn't 
mean it's out.
<GMonkey> Wicked expensive anyway. :(
*** Barbie (Barbiester@ppp_5.aonline.com) has joined #TOTGM
<BabyRain> Can we just go there for a meal?
<GMonkey> I think we should try to book everything in one hotel.
<Barbie> I'm Baaaaack! :)
<Volterra> what about a convention room in a hotel? We could 
decorate it?
<BabyRain> Hi, Barbie.
<Volterra> hey Barb!
<KidLaLa> Besides, if we could enlist the help of some of the 
show's people, and spread the word to the cast and crew, I'm 
sure we could get plenty to come.
<GMonkey> What did you do, Barbie?  Grow the coffee beans 
yourself?
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o Barbie
<KidLaLa> Hi, Barbie.
<Barbie> ahhh.. no. Had to wash my hair, feed the cats, and make 
some food for me..remember, now, my hair is really long.. down 
to my butt!
<Barbie> But I'm all set here now, breakfast between me and the 
keyboard..
<Volterra> What about other forums? you know, like how Marilyn 
used to advert "Cutter's Goose" do those magazine things still 
exist?
<KidLaLa> Breakfast being?
<GMonkey> It will still be $22.95 per person plus 15% service 
charge and sales tax (8.25%).
<BabyRain> That's not much tax.
<KidLaLa> MW, your point being?
<Volterra> what would be $22.95?
<Barbie> Breakfast=scrambled eggs, hash browns, and Kona coffe 
(you thought I was kidding about the Kona coffee?)
<GMonkey> Expensive.
<KidLaLa> $30 for dinner is pretty reasonable.
<GMonkey> That's if we can get 40 people.
<Barbie> what are we planning?
<KidLaLa> Not me, I know you don't kid, Barbie.  :)
<Volterra> I have a feeling dinner is on top of the $22.95
<BabyRain> the Gold Monkey Gathering
<Barbie> :)
<Barbie> cool.... whre.. Honolulu?
<BabyRain> LA
<GMonkey> No, it's a dinner buffet.
<KidLaLa> Like I said, if we could get word to the former cast 
and crew (especially) I don't think we'd have any problem 
getting that many.
<Barbie> my girlfriend moved here from LA
<Volterra> GM: then that is very reasonable
<Volterra> provided we can get 40
* Barbie keeps looking for excuse to go back to Honolulu
<KidLaLa> We need to ask Tom and/or Jeff for suggestions as to 
the best way to spread the word to the former cast and crew.
* Volterra agrees
<GMonkey> Well, we've been asking everybody, but nobody wants to 
make a commitment.
<BabyRain> Ditto.
<BabyRain> They're all men, Pat.
<BabyRain> Think about it.
<GMonkey> I know!
<Volterra> and perhaps, knowing generic shooting schedules, they 
could suggest a more appropriate date?
<KidLaLa> What do you mean by that?  Has someone specifically 
asked them for a way to contact these people?
* Barbie wishes she could go to LA for this dinner
<KidLaLa> Maybe an ad in Variety.
* BabyRain is still praying for a miracle
<Volterra> Give them a deadline -- and if we don't have X number 
of people by htat deadline, then it won't happen at all.
* KidLaLa is also praying.
<Barbie> Volterra: that's the only way to do it
<Volterra> You'll get 39 msgs 2 days after the deadline, I 
guarantee it :)
<KidLaLa> We can but try.
<Volterra> Of course, you *lie* about the dadline :)
<Volterra> er deadline
<KidLaLa> Of course.
* Barbie has planned many a large party/affair
<BabyRain> Sounds like wedding invitations ...
<Barbie> exactly
<Volterra> and you'll have people emailing you the day before the 
event, wanting to go
<BabyRain> She won't be there. :)
<Barbie> gotta learn to say no
<KidLaLa> I'll ask the guys for some suggestions.
<Volterra> BR: well, that's theiur tough luck, isn't it?

<GMonkey> Hello again, ladies.
<Barbie> guess I picked the "right" server today...
<Barbie> (knock on wood)
<GMonkey> Seems your server decided to pick ya up and move ya.
<BabyRain> Hi.
<KidLaLa> Hi, guys, welcome back.
<Volterra> they're back!
<KidLaLa> You and two others...
<Barbie> aloha again!
<Barbie> hooray!
<KidLaLa> Ladies?  Where ladies?  :P
<BabyRain> I don't think so.
<BabyRain> No ping replies.
<GMonkey> Well, what else could I call them. :)
<BabyRain> I'm lagging
-> [BabyRain] PING
<Volterra> dang
-> [Barbie] PING
-> [KidLaLa] PING
-> [Volterra] PING
<BabyRain> We're here
* Barbie knows what y'all are going through, planning this 
dinner... has planned 4 weddings, 6 social affairs, and a 
bazillion dinner parties....
<Volterra> oh dear, they're lagged a littler
<Volterra> 14secs on LaLa
<KidLaLa> It seems to me that we're not going to get the numbers 
needed for a normal type convention from the world of fandom.  
In which case we should just arrange to get together with 
whomever from the show one day for dinner and a talk fest.
<Volterra> Barb: then you're *just* the person we need :)
<Volterra> LaLa sounds reasonable
<Barbie> :)
<Barbie> I can tell you personally, the fourth wedding was the 
BEST!
<KidLaLa> Leanne, I try.
<Barbie> LaLa.. I think you're super
<KidLaLa> I think we're all mature intellient people and can sit 
down and visit on the same level.
<Barbie> why not??
* KidLaLa reads Barbie
<KidLaLa> Thanks, Barbie, that's very nice.
<BabyRain> I agree, LaLa.
<Barbie> 'tis nothing..
<Volterra> with LaLa's suggestion all we have to do is bring lots 
of munchies and drinks to eat while we chat ... we can invade 
someone's hotel room (or take turns) to watch videos o the 
show
<GMonkey> That's wonderful Sunday School talk, but this is the 
real world. :)
<KidLaLa> Despite you guys jokes about everything, in person we 
could all sit down and chat reasonably and have a good time 
with the Money folk.
<Barbie> "take turns"??? Hmmmm.....
<Barbie> (only kidding)
<BabyRain> Before we go any further, we really need to know 
numbers
<KidLaLa> That's Monkey folk.  And MW, I'm describing the real 
world. :)
<KidLaLa> Number wise it seems that less than 10 fans would 
actually make it.
<Volterra> Barb: well, some people won't want to be up watching 
videos at 2am in the morning ... which *may* require a shift 
to another room
<Barbie> Volterra: believe me, I understand!
<Volterra> and former cast and crew *may* have commitments that 
they may not even know about until the week before
<KidLaLa> So far the way Tom, Jeff, Harvey, etc. have related to 
us, makes me believe we could set this up as a family type 
reunion.  No pretenses and rigid formality.
<KidLaLa> I'd be happy to pohl the guys and see what they think.
<Barbie> I'm with that, LaLa..(still wishing I could go)
<Volterra> LaLa: as a bunch of people who mutually love the show
<Volterra> LaLa *groan*
<Barbie> Right.. we should probably check with the guys to see if 
they think this is feasible
<KidLaLa> Leanne, exactly.  Whether as cast, crew or fan, makes 
no difference.
<BabyRain> What are you thinking, Pat?
<KidLaLa> Leanne, liked that did you.
<KidLaLa> She's probably off hoarding ginger snaps.  :)
* Barbie is going to check w/friend who goes to LA regularly to 
find cost of Ticket
<BabyRain> JUST GOT MAIL FROM TOM __ 1 SEC
<KidLaLa> Barbie, I'll send them all an e-mail asking their 
preferences.
<KidLaLa> Br, goodie!!
<Barbie> BRB.. cat knocked something over in the kitchen!
<KidLaLa> Barbie, costs are really low right now.
<Volterra> Hubby Dan votes informal -- but he's that kinda guy
<KidLaLa> I think we all are.

<tjgcowboy> Left my horses out in the rain for you all!
<tjgcowboy> Anything you want to ask me!
<tjgcowboy> (doesn't have to be about Monkey business either)
<BabyRain> Don't you like Rain, Tom?
<KidLaLa> Tom, while you're here.  Your thoughts on the Monkey 
reunion in September.  Does really informal work for you?
<tjgcowboy> only baby rain!
<Barbie> help!! I can't get my stuff to type
<Volterra> Tom: how's the Jason thing going?
*** Barbie (Barbiester@ppp_5.aonline.com) has left #TOTGM

<tjgcowboy> But just finishing a very exciting feature 
screenplay
<tjgcowboy> only baby rain!

<tjgcowboy> No smurfs in it though...

<Barbie> okay, let's see if this will work

<Barbie> Aloha, Tom :) I'm Barbie....
<KidLaLa> Hope you got your buckskin Tom, me love buckys.
<BabyRain> Tom, Barbie.  Barbie, Tom. :)
<Barbie> very nice to meet youm Tom :)
<Volterra> pity you're not called Ken, Tom
* Volterra dives for cover
<tjgcowboy> I barbie. You on the Big island?
<Barbie> haha
<tjgcowboy> Is barbie "sultry"?
<GMonkey> We're all sultry, Tom.
<Barbie> I WAS on O'ahu, but now am in Alaska
<tjgcowboy> I could change it if the mood is right.
<BabyRain> I thought I was the only sultry one.
<GMonkey> As long as you can't see us, we're sultry. :)
<tjgcowboy> Oh, I'm sure if I saw you all, you'd be SUPERSULTRY.
* Barbie is still waking up...
<BabyRain> Some of us are more sultry than others, and All The 
Time. :)
<tjgcowboy> Yikes... I think I'm on the wrong side of the 
country!
* KidLaLa is definitely not sultry.
* Volterra believes we actually have sun un San Diego
* Volterra concludes her weather report
<tjgcowboy> Just came back from Alaska, Whitehorse...!
<tjgcowboy> Doing research on this new screenplay.
<Barbie> no way!
<tjgcowboy> Way.
<BabyRain> Whitehorse is in the Yukon.
<tjgcowboy> Used to be a lumber jack.
<Barbie> I'm in Anchorage.. farhter south
<BabyRain> Is there an Alaskan one, too?
<tjgcowboy> (true, not a Python song).
<KidLaLa> LOL.
<tjgcowboy> No... this was in the Yukon.
<tjgcowboy> At the Anterasian Lumbercamp.
<BabyRain> O Canadaaaaa ...
<tjgcowboy> We only would tree-top and not clear cut.
<tjgcowboy> I was a tree-topper!
<KidLaLa> Did you see the Northern Lights?
<tjgcowboy> No longer afraid of heights!
<BabyRain> Tom would that make you an angel?
<tjgcowboy> I never got to see the "lights"! can you believe it?
* KidLaLa really misses Alaska.
<Barbie> I've seen the N.Lights.. they're eerie
<tjgcowboy> I fell in love with the Yukon though. 
<tjgcowboy> Am a huge Robert Service fan. Ever heard of him?
<KidLaLa> Tom, me sorry.  They are SO fine.
<Barbie> You guys should come and visit Alaska.. I'll show you 
around!
<KidLaLa> Oh, yes, the poet?
<tjgcowboy> yep!
<tjgcowboy> I started to write poetry myself after reading him.
<BabyRain> There are strange things done in the midnight sun ...
<KidLaLa> Barbie, I know my way around, thanks. :)
<BabyRain> by the men who moil for gold ...
<tjgcowboy> You got it!
* Barbie misses Hawaii, but likes Alaska, too
<BabyRain> etc.
<Barbie> LaLa: then we could just go out and have some fun!
<tjgcowboy> I'm on. What airline!
<KidLaLa> Too bad the Bird House burned down. :(
<Barbie> pick one
<tjgcowboy> Ahhh... how 'bout Alaska!
<Barbie> yeah.. never made it there
<tjgcowboy> or is that Alaskian.
<Barbie> LOL tj
<Barbie> Alaskan
<tjgcowboy> Hold on... my blacksmith just arrived. Be right 
back!
<KidLaLa> I knew he was going to say that.
<KidLaLa> Barbie, you been to Chilcot Charlie's?
* BabyRain is pouting in the corner because she's not special 
anymore
<Barbie> Chilkoot Charlie's? Not yet
<KidLaLa> Or perhaps Skinny Dick's?
<BabyRain> What?!
<Barbie> I live not too far from it though
<KidLaLa> BR, please don't pout.  You know we love you.
<Barbie> Chilkoot Charlie's is about a mile and a half from my 
place
<KidLaLa> Skinny Dick's.  A fun place to go.
<KidLaLa> I knew that since you live on Minnesota.
<Barbie> Where's Skinny Dick's?
<BabyRain> Doesn't sound very fun.
<KidLaLa> Up north of Denali.  By Nenana.
<Barbie> Live on Wisconsin, but you're close!
<KidLaLa> BR, actually it *is*.
<KidLaLa> Sorry, misremembered your address.
<Barbie> BR....it's not necessarily a description of anything 
there!
<KidLaLa> MW, can you e-mail Jeff and see if he's around?  
Please?
<KidLaLa> Barbie, thanks for the clarification. :P
<Barbie> LaLa.... you're forgiven for misremembering... :)
<BabyRain> I'm listening to Doug watch "The Godfather"
<KidLaLa> Barbie, is the Downtown Deli still there?
<Barbie> I *think* so...
<KidLaLa> A GREAT place to eat.
<Barbie> we have a whole bunch of "deli" places...
<KidLaLa> Is Doug mumbling while he watches?
<KidLaLa> How about LaMex?
<Barbie> LaMex is still here
<BabyRain> No.  He's telling the dog to "go lie down"
<KidLaLa> I saw Jack Lemmon in LaMex once.  Plastered he was.
<Barbie> Was the Regal Alaskan here when you were here?
<tjgcowboy> Hello, back for a moment. May have to go back and 
help the trim.
<KidLaLa> Doesn't sound familiar.
<BabyRain> Hey, Tom.
<Barbie> Steve took me there for our anniversary last month.. on 
Lake Hood
<KidLaLa> Tom, if we all come to LA in September can we meet 
informally?
<Barbie> got us a suite w/jacuzzi tub, champagne, roses, etc....
<BabyRain> Tom, I read something about you rescuing horses?
<tjgcowboy> Hold on... must talk to the blacksmith again... be 
right back
<GMonkey> MEN!
<Volterra> For a moment I thought I was almost not here
<KidLaLa> Leanne, me too.
<Barbie> love 'em and leave 'em!
<KidLaLa> MW, any word from Jeff?
<Barbie> that's what men do :)
<BabyRain> Love 'em and love aall of 'em the next week ... :)
<Barbie> LOL
<GMonkey> Nothing yet.
<KidLaLa> Thanks.
<tjgcowboy> Okay ladies (is it all ladies here?) back for a 
moment.
<tjgcowboy> Anything you want to ask? 
<BabyRain> Yes.
<KidLaLa> I've asked twice, no third time for me.  :)
<Barbie> go for it, BR
<Volterra> Go, LaLa
<Volterra> third time lucky?
<BabyRain> What do you think of an informal get-together in La 
for the Monkey gathering?
<BabyRain> Tom?
* KidLaLa defers to BR.
<tjgcowboy> Sounds wonderful. Does that mean I'd be surrounded 
by
<tjgcowboy> a group of sultry women?!
<Volterra> beautiful sultry women, yes Tom :)
<BabyRain> Absolutely Tom.
* Barbie wonders is blondes can be sultry
<BabyRain> All throwing themselves at you. :)
<Volterra> I'm sure we can find some somewhere *grin*
<tjgcowboy> Oh my gosh. But you're all bringing husbands. How 
much fun can that be! :)
<BabyRain> You're blonde, Barbie?
<Volterra> Barb: f'sure!
<KidLaLa> Speak for yourself BR.
<BabyRain> My husband probably won't be there. :)
<BabyRain> All throwing themselves at you. :)
<Volterra> Mine will be.
<Barbie> BR: yes, I'm blonde, with hair to my butt
<GMonkey> My husband won't be there either.  Of course I haven't 
met my "husband" yet. :)
<tjgcowboy> Seriously folks... "informal" is a much better idea.
<tjgcowboy> Takes the pressure off.
<BabyRain> Tom, do you think others would go for it?
<KidLaLa> Barbie is married to a Navy Lt.  Sound familiar, Tom?
<BabyRain> We just want to hang out.
<KidLaLa> Thanks, Br.
* GMonkey would start singing "Someday My Prince Will Come", but 
knows it would annoy LaLa
<Barbie> I'd leave my husband here to take care of the cats
<KidLaLa> Politely of course.
<tjgcowboy> Lt. Poole. Anyone know where that came from?
<Barbie> Lt. Maggie Poole??
<KidLaLa> Yeah, somebody misspelled Pohl. :)
<tjgcowboy> Gad you're good. I created that character!
<tjgcowboy> "Poole" came from 2001.
<Barbie> really?
<tjgcowboy> As I've said, I put a reference to 2001 in 
everything I do.
<KidLaLa> They misspelled it too.
<Volterra> GM: just so long as it isn't "It's a Small World" ... 
I *need* to get that song out of my head
<tjgcowboy> Did anyone (I hope not) see the Swamp Thing marathon 
on Monday?
<Barbie> Tom...WARNING!! Any questions having to do w/Magnum pi 
will probably NOT stump me! :)
<tjgcowboy> All my old shows were on! Hundreds of them!
<tjgcowboy> Yikes... how embarrasing!
<KidLaLa> Tom if I'd known you were involved I would have 
watched.
<tjgcowboy> I'm glad you didn't though I had lots of references 
to Monkey in it!
<KidLaLa> Alert me as to what shows I need to be scoping out, 
please.  Besides, 6 Million, Magnum, etc.
<Barbie> Tom: what all have you worked on? (forgive my 
ignorance, please)
<tjgcowboy> Well, there's Knightrider, Columbo, Bionic Boy!
<tjgcowboy> Powers of Matt Starr
to Monkey in it!
<KidLaLa> You worked with Lou Gossett?
<tjgcowboy> Thunder in Paradise (on five times a week!)
<tjgcowboy> Gossett... yes, great man. 
<KidLaLa> Sigh.
<tjgcowboy> Matt Starr was shut down for a year because of that 
horrid accident.
<Barbie> I like Mr. Gossett too
<Barbie> what accident?
<KidLaLa> Yes, the man got burned, eh?
<tjgcowboy> The boy, Peter Barten was badly burned and in the 
hospital for a year.
<tjgcowboy> It was during a shoot.
<BabyRain> What happened?
<Barbie> wow. I had no idea...
<KidLaLa> Some special effect, burned his face?
<tjgcowboy> No. Luckily, he fell back on a flare and his backside 
was badly burned.
<tjgcowboy> "Luck" that it didn't effect his face!
<Volterra> brb
<Barbie> really!
<tjgcowboy> Lou pulled the flare off his back and burned his 
hands very badly.
<tjgcowboy> He was a hero!
<BabyRain> Ouch.
<KidLaLa> Poor Lou!!
<Barbie> geez.
<KidLaLa> Peter's working again now I see.
<tjgcowboy> The director was an idiot to used that flare. NO ONE 
uses magnisum flares!
<tjgcowboy> Peter's on a soap.
<BabyRain> Yand R?
<tjgcowboy> Not a nicer guy around (except of course for SC).
<tjgcowboy> That's right.
* KidLaLa pouts cause she thinks Jeff's the nicest one around.
* BabyRain thinks Tom is pretty nice, himself.
<KidLaLa> That goes without saying, BR.
<Barbie> Tom: did you workon all the magnum episodes, or some of 
them or ????? (remember I'm new to this group)
<tjgcowboy> <blush>... I'm glad your hubby is staying home. :)
<tjgcowboy> I produced one year of it, then Don asked me to go 
over to Monkey.
<Barbie> cool :)
<KidLaLa> Tom, may I ask a personal question and by all means say 
no if you want?
<BabyRain> uh-oh
<tjgcowboy> Ask away!!!
<tjgcowboy> drum roll...
* Volterra is glad she's back for this
<KidLaLa> May I ask your age....  (just say MYOB if I've stepped 
over the line.)
<Barbie> he CAN'T be the oldest one here..
<tjgcowboy> Hold on... the blacksmith is back. no kidding!
<Barbie> I think I have that one
<KidLaLa> No, Barbie LaLa is the grama of this group.
<BabyRain> And I'm the Baby
<Barbie> ahhh okay..
<tjgcowboy> To answer your question: "thirtysomething"
* Barbie is just used to being the oldest one anywhere
<KidLaLa> That's disgusting!!  I'm the only 40 something here?
<BabyRain> Tom, are you serious?
<Barbie> Oh LaLa... wait till August.. then I'll be 40!
<tjgcowboy> I love 40-somthing women... they are at their peak... 
in everything!
<Barbie> he's so flattering
<KidLaLa> Well, at least you know the truth about it. :P
<BabyRain> I'll be thirty in a little more than three years.
<KidLaLa> Barbie, by then I'll be 43.  Thanks anyway.
* BabyRain grabs her soother
<Barbie> then she'll go by "Adult Rain"??
<Barbie> (only kidding BR!!)
<KidLaLa> Then Senior (Senor) Rain.
<BabyRain> :)
<Barbie> Like that better!
<tjgcowboy> Hey... I didn't say what side of "thirtysomething"!
<BabyRain> Tom, you must have been some kind of wunderkind when 
you were doing Monkey.
<tjgcowboy> Any more personal questions? Ask away!
<Barbie> Maybe he's close to my age!
<KidLaLa> Oh ho, the truth comes out.
<BabyRain> Shoe size, Tom, and height. :)
<tjgcowboy> Yes... I started writing at Universal Studios when I 
was 18years old.
<tjgcowboy> Really.
<KidLaLa> How's come someone as superb as you hasn't been taken?
<KidLaLa> Wonder boy.
<tjgcowboy> <blush> That an offer?!?!
<KidLaLa> Nein, just nosy.
<tjgcowboy> Haaa. That's what they all say>
<Barbie> QUESTION: how did you get started writing for Universal?
<BabyRain> Tom, are you a Leo?
<tjgcowboy> Barbie's question is a long, long one! I'll have to 
e-mail that and put it on your web site!
<KidLaLa> Hear him roar.
* Barbie feels her ears perk up
<tjgcowboy> As for my "sign": The bull.
<KidLaLa> May or April?
<Barbie> Taurus
<tjgcowboy> May
<BabyRain> That was my next guess.  When's your b-day?
<Volterra> hey I'm a Taurus too!
<BabyRain> May what?
<tjgcowboy> 18
<BabyRain> Go AWAY!
<Barbie> I'm a Leo
<KidLaLa> Eight days before me.  Cool.
<Volterra> No *way*, Tom. Me too!
<KidLaLa> Leanne, when's yours?
<BabyRain> Tom, I got married on your last birthday.
<BabyRain> :)
<tjgcowboy> No wonder I was depressed on that day!
<Barbie> flirt :)
<KidLaLa> ROTFL.
<Volterra> which was also my last "single" birthday
<BabyRain> Well, you could have galloped up on your horse ...
<KidLaLa> He is, isn't he?
<KidLaLa> ROTFL and flailing.
<Volterra> LaLa: I'm May 18 too
<tjgcowboy> No way.
<BabyRain> The coincidences with this group are scary.
<KidLaLa> That is too cool.  A special day indeed for Monkiacs.
<KidLaLa> Aren't they though?
<BabyRain> Tom, how tall are you?
<Barbie> When's Jeff's Birthday??
<KidLaLa> October 20.
<BabyRain> Oct 20
<Volterra> Way.
<Barbie> thanks:)
<KidLaLa> I'm still waiting to hear Tom's shoe size. :)
<BabyRain> Could be very revealing.
<Barbie> ahhhh I have a better theory than the ol' shoe size one, 
anyway
* Volterra chuckles
* KidLaLa snickers.
<Volterra> I thought it had to do with nose size?
<Volterra> or car size?
<BabyRain> Nose, shoes, hands ...
<Barbie> YES!! Noses have it..
<KidLaLa> That's only for Jewish men.  :P
<Volterra> Say, TOm, how many hands high are your horses?
<KidLaLa> Leanne, good one.
* Barbie won't say how she proved her theory
<BabyRain> I think we'rescaring him.
<tjgcowboy> Lots of questions!
<tjgcowboy> One at a time!
* KidLaLa won't ask.
<tjgcowboy> I'm 5/9''
<tjgcowboy> My main horse is almost 18 hands high!
<tjgcowboy> He's a leo sire!
<KidLaLa> Same as the Jeffmeister.  The perfect height.
<tjgcowboy> I have a Tbred, bay mare, she's over 18 hands!
<tjgcowboy> Shoe size: 9 1/2
<tjgcowboy> Love cowboy boots (hint, hints)
<KidLaLa> Tony Lamas?
<BabyRain> What colour are your eyes?
<Volterra> gosh, we are getting personal
<BabyRain> I'm curious
<KidLaLa> Better yet, BR, let's ask Tom for a picture!!
<BabyRain> Yeah. :)
<BabyRain> Tom, could we have a picture?
<KidLaLa> PUH-LEEZE?
<Barbie> me too?
<Barbie> whois
<KidLaLa> He could send one to MW for posting.
<BabyRain> Hello, Major Tom ... Are you receiving?
<KidLaLa> We've overloaded his circuits.
<Barbie> who is the most influential here?
<Volterra> I bet it's the blacksmith again
<KidLaLa> MW!!
<KidLaLa> But BR is the smuttiest.  :P
<tjgcowboy> Yes... back with the blacksmith... one moment!
<BabyRain> I believe you mean sultriest, LaLa. :)
* KidLaLa turns on the Jeopardy music.
<tjgcowboy> My eyes are blue... by the way..
<BabyRain> Hair?
<KidLaLa> Oh, yes, of course, BR, forgive my typo.
<KidLaLa> She just doesn't stop does she?  :)
<KidLaLa> MW is being awful quiet.
<KidLaLa> Leanne too.
<BabyRain> Now, LaLa ... I asked you all these questions, too.  
Remember?
<GMonkey> I was waiting for someone to notice. :)
<KidLaLa> I thought I took the easy way out and sent you a 
picture?
<BabyRain> I just figured you's acknowledged me as superior and 
bowed out, MW. :)
<KidLaLa> MW, we always notice, we just might not say anything.
<BabyRain> You did, LaLa. :)
<Volterra> I *love* the pic! Can I put it on my website?? BR>?
<BabyRain> If you want, Leanne.  Why?
<KidLaLa> Isn't that great, Leanne?  Tom needs to see.  And of 
course, DB really needs to see it.
<tjgcowboy> I'm back for one more moment. Did I miss any 
questions?
<Volterra> spread the word, so to speak :)
<tjgcowboy> What do I need to see!
* GMonkey is the only Superior Monkey Woman. Don't settle for 
BabyRain imitations!
<BabyRain> Hair colour, Tom, and year of birth? :)
<KidLaLa> And if you'll send a picture of yourself for posting.
<tjgcowboy> Curly brown hair... year of birth @##$(*&
<Volterra> The graphic BR did to save the monkey
<BabyRain> yeah, or at least sharing amongst ourselves
* Barbie is enjoying watching others do the interviewing for a 
change!
<KidLaLa> 1957 or 1958.
<Volterra> oh dear, we got static, Tom, care to repeat? *grin*
<BabyRain> Looks like line noise to me.
<KidLaLa> Probably 57
<GMonkey> "Are you now, or have you ever been, a member of the 
Communist Party?"
<Volterra> BR :P
* GMonkey wants to get in on the persecution...er, interrogation 
of Tom
* Volterra reaches for her INS applications...
<KidLaLa> Are you a native Texan?
<Volterra> they have all those questions there
<Barbie> I have a question for Tom..
<tjgcowboy> Funny you should ask the "are you now" question, 
since my dad was one of the Hollywood ten. No kidding!
<tjgcowboy> I was born and raised in Los Angeles!
* GMonkey is psychic that way
<KidLaLa> Never would have guessed.
<Barbie> How did you like Hawaii, and what did you like the most 
while there? (or did you produce from Hollywood?)
<Volterra> Hollywood 10?
<GMonkey> Better explain it to the Aussie.
<KidLaLa> Those persecuted for alleged communist ties
<tjgcowboy> Hollywood 10: McCarthy era horror witch hunts.
<Volterra> is this the McCarthy thingy?
<Volterra> oh yes, heard about those -- we just call it 
McCarthyism back home
<tjgcowboy> Yep, the McCarthy thingy. I'm going to write and 
direct a movie based on my expereinces as a child.
<GMonkey> Yes.  In fact, most history books indeed refer to it 
as "The McCarthy Thingy. :)
<tjgcowboy> It's my next project after the screenplay.
<KidLaLa> Tom, any chance of a picture for the web site?  
Please?
<Volterra> :P~~~
<tjgcowboy> I could send you my horses! And one of me (from far 
away) doing a rodeo!
<Volterra> Tom: that sounds like a great project
<GMonkey> WUSS! (Of course, I mean that in a nice way.) :)
<KidLaLa> We'd rather a nice closeup of you.  Although horsey 
pictures are good too.
<BabyRain> I like horsies.
<Barbie> he's probably shy
* KidLaLa loves horsies.
<Volterra> I always thougth WUSS was Aussie ...
<BabyRain> (no comments from the peanut gallery, please)
<tjgcowboy> Just don't have a great photo scanned at the moment!
<Barbie> me neither
<tjgcowboy> How would I send the others, if you wanted them?
<GMonkey> Sometimes you feel like a nut.  Sometimes you don't. 
:)
<BabyRain> Send it to me, Tom, and I'll scan it.
<KidLaLa> Send it to me and I'll scan it for you.  
<BabyRain> jinx
<KidLaLa> LaLa is closer.
* BabyRain is better.
<KidLaLa> Next state up.
<BabyRain> :)
<GMonkey> Oh, oh!  Cat fight over Tom.
<BabyRain> Meow
* Barbie is letting y'all fight this one out
* KidLaLa can't surpass sultry and folds.
* BabyRain sees her husband coming and ducks
<Barbie> I think that leaves Volterra and GMonkey
<tjgcowboy> I may have one with me and a dead turkey.
<GMonkey> Monkey Woman doesn't have a scanner. :(
<BabyRain> A dead turkeyy?
<KidLaLa> As long as it's not a dead monkey. :)
<Barbie> *notice no one jumps for that one!
<GMonkey> She makes LaLa and Babyrain do her dirty work for her. 
:)
<Volterra> He could send it to me, but I don't have a scanner -- 
hmm, maybe that's a bonus :)
<KidLaLa> Or if you get to Oregon, just drop the picture off, 
Tom. :P
* BabyRain snarls
<tjgcowboy> I'm in my deputy uniform (camo). You know I'm also a 
deputy in Missouri don't you?
<BabyRain> Deputy?
<KidLaLa> Honorary deputy?
<KidLaLa> Reserve deputy?
<GMonkey> Does that mean if I drive in MO, you could fix a 
speeding ticket?
* Barbie is a former Police Dispatcher
* KidLaLa was an Honory deputy in Louisiana.
<tjgcowboy> If you're in Benton County! (The Ozarks)
<tjgcowboy> I'm a reserve Deputy.
<KidLaLa> make that honorary.
<KidLaLa> Bet you look right cute in uniform.
* GMonkey likes to burn rubber!!!
<Barbie> bet he looks cute in anything
<GMonkey> You can stop sucking up now, LaLa. :)
<KidLaLa> I speak the truth, MW.
<GMonkey> Unless Tom wants you to. :)
<KidLaLa> Got no reason to suck up.
<KidLaLa> I sincerely admire Cowboy Tom for all his 
accomplishments and great work.
* Volterra is safe, she can't drive
<tjgcowboy> Hey... this is wonderful! Beautiful woman fighting 
over me!
<tjgcowboy> Gad you're great for my ego!
<tjgcowboy> More... more.
<Barbie> I think the blacksmith has struck again
<Volterra> boom boom :)
<KidLaLa> No, he was basking in compliments.
<tjgcowboy> Only trims for the babies... and two new shoes for 
the three year olds.
<tjgcowboy> The rest get the "whole treatment".
<KidLaLa> It's true, Tom, you really are a swell guy.
<KidLaLa> Trim that frog.
<KidLaLa> Those frogs.
<Barbie> Tom.. what's you're latest project(s), other than the 
horses?
<tjgcowboy> As I said, I'm just finishing this feature 
screenplay, then it's on to the movie
<tjgcowboy> about my childhood.
<BabyRain> Any idea when your movie might be released?
<BabyRain> The current screenplay, I mean?
<KidLaLa> And you did receive the Jason Far Side cartoon okay, 
didn't you?
<Barbie> he's thinking..
<tjgcowboy> Hello!
<KidLaLa> He's good at that.
<tjgcowboy> Yes, got the far side. Thanks!
<KidLaLa> I've got it as my windows screen saver.
<tjgcowboy> I'm just finishing the screenplay so it's easily a 
year from now, if I'm lucky.
<KidLaLa> Have you done any big screen movies before?
<tjgcowboy> I've written several, and have been a "ghost" 
re-write man on some famous ones.
<BabyRain> Like what?
<tjgcowboy> But mostly... TV. However this year I want to leave 
TV for a bit and do the features more.
<Volterra> well, this has been great, but I'm gonna have to go 
soon ...
<KidLaLa> Leanne, say it ain't so...
<BabyRain> (sniff)
<Volterra> yup, grocery shopping. Tomorrow isn't only SuperBowl 
Sunday, it's also Australia Day so I have to get ingredients 
for pavlova
<BabyRain> Pavlova?
<KidLaLa> Go Packers!!
<KidLaLa> With apologies to MW.
<GMonkey> Ya better apologize, LaLa!
<KidLaLa> Jeff's birthday is also Alaska Day.
* BabyRain ducks.
<GMonkey> I'm only about 10 miles or so from Foxboro Stadium.
<Barbie> Jeff missed a lively coversation!
<BabyRain> Where is he, anyway?
<KidLaLa> Somebody has to apologize for the Patriots. :P
<KidLaLa> Tom, are you a football fan?
<GMonkey> Now, now.  They did a darn good job for a team that had 
a losing season last year.
<GMonkey> Besides, Drew Bledsoe's kinda cute. :)
<KidLaLa> All thanks to wonder man Bill Parcells.
<Volterra> Pavlova .... umm ... giant pie-sized meringue covered 
in cream and fruit
<Volterra> well, see you all Tuesday!
<BabyRain> That sounds good, Leanne.
<GMonkey> Bye, Leanne!
<KidLaLa> Bye, Leanne, enjoy!!
<BabyRain> bye, Leanne
<KidLaLa> Methinks Tom's off with the blacksmith again.  She must 
be cute.
<KidLaLa> Or at least sultry.
<Barbie> aloha all!
*** Volterra has quit IRC (Hey Hey We're the Monkiacs!)
<KidLaLa> Does that mean you're leaving too, Barbie?
<BabyRain> Et tu, Barbie?
<tjgcowboy> I'm back. Have to run though. This has been 
wonderful.
<BabyRain> Awwww ...
<tjgcowboy> I'll have to come back. All this attention from a 
bevy
<KidLaLa> Thanks for everything Tom.
* BabyRain pouts
<BabyRain> Thanks, Tom.
<tjgcowboy> of beautiful woman. Hollywood was never like this!
<Barbie> sorta running...
<GMonkey> Stop back anytime, everyone.
<GMonkey> Well, almost anytime. :)
<KidLaLa> You're too kind.
<BabyRain> The man has a way with words. :)

<BabyRain> Yup, I'm here. :)
<GMonkey> So do you want to wrap this chat up?
<KidLaLa> Whatever.
<Barbie> goforit
<KidLaLa> There's still five of us.
<BabyRain> If we must.  
<BabyRain> No Jeff, huh?
<Barbie> nope
<KidLaLa> Bad Jeff.  Or busy Jeff.
<Barbie> oughta bean him one
<KidLaLa> What ever happened to Les?  I thought he was going to 
try and join in?
<KidLaLa> Kona coffee bean him?
<GMonkey> Never heard back from him.
<KidLaLa> What a brat.
<KidLaLa> A nice brat of course.
<KidLaLa> MW, did you ever tell Les about the proposed September 
gathering?
<GMonkey> I don't think so.  I was concentrating on getting him 
up on IRC first.
<KidLaLa> Well, he needs to be informed so we can get his 
reaction.

<BabyRain> Blacksmith?
<KidLaLa> He's messing with the horses.  May not realize he 
hasn't disconnected.
*** tjgcowboy (tjgcowboy@172-94-142.ipt.aol.com) has left #totgm
<KidLaLa> I wonder how many horses he has.
<KidLaLa> There he goes.
<BabyRain> Well, I guess that answers that.  Did he even say 
goodbye?
<KidLaLa> Not really.
<KidLaLa> Kinda sorta, earlier.
<BabyRain> Okay.
<KidLaLa> BR, how do I change my monicker again?

<KidLaLa> Thanks.

<BabyRain> I hope he comes.
<Boinkette> Well done, Barbie.
<Boinkette> Watch your mouth!
<Barbie> thanks boinkette!
<Barbie> lol
<Boinkette> Makes it easy to be creative.
<Boinkette> BR, those Canada jokes on Ellen...
<BabyRain> Yeah?
<Boinkette> The setting is a stand up comic telling them in a 
club...
<Barbie> bit 'o trivia here.. would you believe my ex-husband's 
nickname was CORKY ?
<Boinkette> The scene opens with his punchline, "Sorry, that 
caribou is taken."
<Boinkette> Barbie, amazing!!
<BabyRain> :)
<Boinkette> Then someone in the audience goes, "Yeah, those 
Newfies are so stupid!"
<BabyRain> I'm amzed that you guys know what Newfies are.
<Boinkette> Then the comic says, "You're driving into 
Newfoundland and the sign says, 'Entering Newfoundland', Why?"
<Barbie> he was known as "Corky" Corcoran...
<Boinkette> The only Corky I know in real life is female.  And 
she lives in Alaska.
<BabyRain> My uncle had a spaniel named Corky.
<Boinkette> There was a cat for adoption in the paper here 
recently named Corky.
<Boinkette> And I just read a book with a dog in it named Corky 
too.
<Boinkette> Because it was a cork-colored dog.  How original.
<BabyRain> Booo.
<Barbie> Hey you guys.. my mom is on the phone long distance from 
FLA... can't concentrate on what she's trying to say...

<Boinkette> Otay.  See ya!!
<BabyRain> Bye, Barbie! :)
<Barbie> aloha! :)
<GMonkey> Bye, Barbie.
*** Barbie (Barbiester@ppp_5.aonline.com) has left #TOTGM
<Boinkette> MW, are you sleeping again or just lagging?
<BabyRain> I think she's hiding with her gingersnaps
<Boinkette> Can't blame her.
<BabyRain> Do you think our friend will show?
<Boinkette> Probably not if he's not here by now.
<Boinkette> He'll probably show Tuesday when I most likely won't 
be there.
<BabyRain> Have you heard from him lately?
<Boinkette> Just that quick note on Thusday to MW and me jointly.
<BabyRain> Oh.
<BabyRain> Has he been working?
<Boinkette> My response probably scared him off (to quote you).
