*** Now talking in #TOTGM
<MonkeyWmn> Howdy!
<MonkeyWmn> Hey, BR, why didn't ya e-mail me?
<MonkeyWmn> BR?
<MonkeyWmn> Bill?
<MonkeyWmn> Anybody?
-> [BabyRain] PING
-> [Billprest] PING
<Billprest> Hi Patricia!
<Billprest> I think Karen is shagging soda pop.
<MonkeyWmn> Yikes!
<MonkeyWmn> I have serious lag.
<Billprest> 4 secs. from me to Boston
<MonkeyWmn> You were 17 when I tried.
-> [Billprest] PING
-> [BabyRain] PING
<Billprest> It's gotta improve.  Hey, hello.
<BabyRain> Hi!
<MonkeyWmn> You're down to 7 now.
<BabyRain> Darn beep.
<MonkeyWmn> 'Bout time BR!
*** BabyRain sets mode: +o Billprest
*** BabyRain sets mode: +o MonkeyWmn
<Billprest> Yo Karen!
<MonkeyWmn> Oh, yeah, sure, the beep. :)
<Billprest> I had to get on early.  At 4:00 (MST) the AOL lines 
get very busy.
<BabyRain> I *did* email you, Pat.  Didn't you get it?  I sent 
two.
<MonkeyWmn> Nada. :(
<BabyRain> I'm listening to an audio book.
<MonkeyWmn> Hey, did you get my package yet, BR?
<Billprest> What's the book?
<BabyRain> Eye Contact. :)
<MonkeyWmn> YOU GOT IT!!! :)
<BabyRain> Yes!  Thank you. :)
<MonkeyWmn> I guess that's what the e-mail says, huh? :)
<MonkeyWmn> Have you checked out the zines yet?
<BabyRain> you have *got* to listen to this when you come up. :)
<BabyRain> Not really.  Just flipped through quickly.
<MonkeyWmn> Maybe I should buy a copy for myself. :)
<BabyRain> Oh, Bill -- I forgot to ask ... Am I allowed to share 
these pics?
<Billprest> I suppose.
* MonkeyWmn wants to see the enchanted isle of Mori
<BabyRain> Is that a "I suppose", or a (heavy sigh) "I suppose". 
? 
<Billprest> Just, you know, "I suppose."
<BabyRain> I love the espresso picture. :)
<Billprest> Refresh my memory on that one.
<BabyRain> "Jack didn't get his espesso this morning, so Jake and 
Corky are having a hard time coaxing him off the roof of the 
Goose."
<Billprest> Patricia - I'll have to explain sometime all the 
goings on on Mori.
<Billprest> Karen - now I remember.  He's a feisty little guy, 
isn't he?
<MonkeyWmn> You won't have to if you let Karen show me the 
pictures. :)
<Billprest> Permission granted to show Patricia the pictures.
* MonkeyWmn thanks Bill, master of Mori
<Billprest> And Patricia, my family is incensed over Jack being 
referred to as a mongrel.
<MonkeyWmn> It wasn't my term.  I like mixed breed.
<Billprest> My wife describes herself as "heartsick."
<BabyRain> Thanks, Bill.  I'll ask Doug to scan them for me.
<MonkeyWmn> Mongrel is so politically incorrect. :)
<Billprest> They're not miffed at you.  At them Swedes.
<BabyRain> Jack is not a mongrel.  He is a purebred opal-eyed 
Boragoran terrier.
<Billprest> Yes!
<Billprest> It's okay if loyal fans call him a mongrel, but 
heathenistic foreigners?  No sir!
<MonkeyWmn> There was only one Swede and he never called him a 
mongrel.  It was some weaselly Americans who called Jack a 
mutt!
<Billprest> Kinda like calling your brother a little monster.  
It's fine for you; not fine for anyone else.
<Billprest> Americans?  What's this country coming to?
<MonkeyWmn> They all hang out in the rec.aviation.military 
newsgroup.
<BabyRain> I don't know.  I don't live there. :)
<MonkeyWmn> The name of the thread is "If you think JAG is 
bad..."!!!!
<MonkeyWmn> PAGAN SWINE!!!
<Billprest> yes!
<BabyRain> B*st**ds.
<Billprest> And another thing: what do they have against JAG?  
Jeff may be on there.
<Billprest> Karen - slow down gal.
<MonkeyWmn> I missed that part of the discussion.
<BabyRain> Bustoads.
<MonkeyWmn> But they insinuate that TOTGM is worse than JAG!
* MonkeyWmn doesn't like that one iota!!!
<Billprest> If I may slow the ranting and raving down a bit, let 
me ask Karen, have you been writing much?
<BabyRain> I said bustoads, but since I'm writing a short story 
collection set on a bus, I didn't want to offend ant possible 
research help out there. :)
<Billprest> They are infidels.
<BabyRain> Ummm, not really writing much.  Still trying to figure 
out which project to work on first when I'm off.  At present, 
I have eight projects that are ready to be written.
<MonkeyWmn> Including the fanfic? :)
<Billprest> Pick one and go.
<Billprest> There, that was easy.
<BabyRain> Well, I still have a few more days of work yet.
<Billprest> Yes, don't forget the fanfic.
<BabyRain> The fan-fic is a spontaneous thing.
<MonkeyWmn> BTW, was Toobers & Zots the Hasbro item you were 
thinking of?
* Billprest is typing and opening mail at the same time.
<BabyRain> No.
<MonkeyWmn> There's another item in your store?
* MonkeyWmn ponders the quandry
<Billprest> Karen - did you get my explanation of the Second 
World War starting in my basement?
<MonkeyWmn> Now, now, Bill.  Don't you think you're taking this 
guilt thing a bit too far? :)
<Billprest> I'm not following you, Patricia.
<MonkeyWmn> You're not the cause of WWII.  It was that silly 
Adolf's fault. :)
*** BabyRain has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer)
<MonkeyWmn> Dang it!  They zapped her!
*** BabyRain (babyrain@stjhts07c47.nbnet.nb.ca) has joined #TOTGM
<Billprest> Oh, now I see.  That and the fact that Britain, 
France, and America let their defenses slide.
<MonkeyWmn> Hey, she's back.
*** MonkeyWmn sets mode: +o BabyRain
<BabyRain> I hate NBNET!!!
<MonkeyWmn> Poor BR.
<Billprest> What the Net needs is a hungry little server that 
provides the goods.
<MonkeyWmn> I'll just settle for decent connections.
<Billprest> Not to change the subject, but I really liked Lorie 
Schultz's assessment of Corky's character.
<MonkeyWmn> Well, she's such a Corkyphile.
<BabyRain> Same here, Bill.
<Billprest> Hey, who among you isn't.  Jake seems to play second 
fiddle here.
<BabyRain> Actually, I'm more a Jake fan than a Corkey fan.
<MonkeyWmn> We like the Furry Chest too.
<Billprest> Corky almost seems to be worshipped.
<Billprest> Which reminds me, where's Lesley?
<BabyRain> Corky is one to be emulated.
<MonkeyWmn> Working.
<MonkeyWmn> She'll try to pop in later.
<MonkeyWmn> I wonder where Leanne is?
<MonkeyWmn> Maybe I should e-mail her.
<MonkeyWmn> brb
<BabyRain> Who else is coming?
<MonkeyWmn> Don't know.  Whoever.
<MonkeyWmn> So, what should we chat about in the meantime?
<MonkeyWmn> Anybody?
<BabyRain> I don't know.
<BabyRain> What kind of food did they serve at the Monkey Bar?
<MonkeyWmn> Hmmm...I guess regular food.
<MonkeyWmn> Nothing terribly fancy.
<BabyRain> But what?  Did we ever actually see a mel, or hear an 
order?
<BabyRain> meal
<Billprest> Lotsa lamb & mutton, brought up from Australia & NZ
<MonkeyWmn> Ah, let's see.  In 'A Distant Shout of Thunder' 
Louie says that that evening's special was frog's legs.
<BabyRain> That's right.
<MonkeyWmn> But Jake and Sarah ordered the veal instead.
<BabyRain> Right.
* MonkeyWmn has watched these episodes just FAR too many times. 
:)
<Billprest> Seafood & fish, I reckon.  Bought from the Tutamis.
<Billprest> BTW, if for some crazy reason I should end up at the 
reunion/convention, I'll come as Randall McGraw.
<MonkeyWmn> That no-good son of a...blue faced boobie! :)
<MonkeyWmn> BTW, they're blue *footed* boobies.
*** Volterra (danswler@sdts3-64.znet.com) has joined #totgm
<Billprest> Albatrosses?  Albatri?
<BabyRain> Leanne
<Volterra> Hi!
<Billprest> Leanne!
<MonkeyWmn> Howdy, Leanne!
*** MonkeyWmn sets mode: +o Volterra
<MonkeyWmn> What took you so long?
<Volterra> I just got MW's email (well, saw the subjct header) 
and said: "What'r they doing having a Monkey Chat today ... 
TUESDAY!!!!!" and here I am
<Volterra> I forgot what day it was
* MonkeyWmn slaps Volterra around a bit with a large trout
<MonkeyWmn> Just to wake you up, Leanne. :)
<Volterra> thanks :)
* Billprest has decided not to use the fish slap function this 
week.
<BabyRain> I'm freeeeeeezing
<MonkeyWmn> How cold is it up there, BR?
* Billprest emails some spare BTUs to Canada.
<BabyRain> Bill, I like the thawed elk steak better
<BabyRain> It's not very cold, but it's really damp.  We had 
snow, and then sleet, and then rain, so when I got home, I 
had fifteen steps to shovel.  The stuff was the consistency 
of  a wet Slush Puppy.
<Billprest> The elk was an improvised thing.  As you may have 
guessed, I really don't have an elk steak slap function in 
this program.
<MonkeyWmn> All Slush Puppies are wet.  At least the good ones. 
:)
<Billprest> Let's have Leanne sing a few bars of "Don't Cry for 
Me, Boragora."
<BabyRain> I mean really wet.
<BabyRain> I saw "Evita" last night, actually
<MonkeyWmn> How'd ya like it?
<Billprest> It doesn't seem to be knocking them dead at the box 
office.
<Volterra> Is it good? I wanna see it
<BabyRain> I was pleasantly surprised.
<BabyRain> Some things really bugged me, but ...
<Volterra> DOn't Cry for me, Boragora, the truth is, I never 
left you!
<MonkeyWmn> What bugged you?
<Volterra> In spite of spiders, volcanoes and snakes ... I had 
to stay there ... 'cause I was Jake's :)
<Volterra> hey Catherine Hicks was on Rosie last night
<Billprest> "Don't cry for me, Boragora.  The truth is they 
should not have cancelled for 3 or 4 years, but don't shed a 
tear, for those network meanies, those ABC weenies."
<Volterra> Hey Bill, maybe between us we can make a line scan :)
<MonkeyWmn> I saw her, Volterra.  Didn't say much about "7th 
Heaven" though.
<MonkeyWmn> And I just found out today that SC will be a guest 
on The Pat Bullard Show tomorrow.
<Volterra> no, just "My Ray" :)
<Volterra> it was cute
<Billprest> Leanne, what is a line scan?
<Volterra> Pat Bullard?
<MonkeyWmn> The only time it airs in my area is at 4 in the 
morning!
<BabyRain> Meter.
<MonkeyWmn> Some low-rated talk show host.
<Volterra> hmm ...
<Volterra> thanks BR
<Volterra> MW: what channeL?
<MonkeyWmn> Check your local listings.  It's syndicated.
<Volterra> yes, but on what channel?
<MonkeyWmn> You have to check the listings.  It's not on a 
network.
<Volterra> hey! he's on at noon!
<MonkeyWmn> Lucky you.  I have to set the VCR tomorrow night. :)
<Volterra> s'ok I was scanning the TV Guide .... :)
<MonkeyWmn> Is SC mentioned in the TV Guide, Leanne?
<MonkeyWmn> Or just the show?
* BabyRain might someday have cable.

<Volterra> LaLA
<Volterra> MW: no just "Variety"
<Billprest> Lesley!
<KidLaLa> Won't really be here for 1/2 hour, but had to whet 
your appetites!!
<MonkeyWmn> Are you "here", LaLa
<Billprest> T'anks but no t'anks.
*** BabyRain has quit IRC (Changing servers.)
<MonkeyWmn> Oh dear.  BR must have been lagging.
<MonkeyWmn> Leanne, please watch the Pat Bullard show tomorrow 
and let me know if I should tape it.
<KidLaLa> BTW, informal is just fine with Harvey too!!
-> [Billprest] PING
-> [KidLaLa] PING
-> [Volterra] PING
<Volterra> sure, Pat!
<MonkeyWmn> Harvey seems like a very informal guy.
<Volterra> LaLa: Brillo, armadillo!
<MonkeyWmn> Thanks, Leanne.
-> [KidLaLa] PING
<MonkeyWmn> LaLa's lagging. :(
<Volterra> LaLa is working still, isn't she?
<MonkeyWmn> YIKES!!  66 secs for LaLa!!!
<MonkeyWmn> Even so...
*** PepsiDog (babyrain@stjhts07c47.nbnet.nb.ca) has joined

<Volterra> true, even so!

<MonkeyWmn> Are you planning to stay this time? :)
-> [BabyRain] PING
<Volterra> Hey la, hey la, the Bee Are's back :)
<BabyRain> Fangu.  Err, thank you. :)
<BabyRain> Cute, Volterra. :)
<MonkeyWmn> Cool!  4 secs for BR.
<BabyRain> hji, Lesley.  When did you get here?
<MonkeyWmn> But poor LaLa's still majorly lagging.
-> [KidLaLa] PING
<MonkeyWmn> Yikes!! LaLa is up to 216 secs!!!
-> [BabyRain] PING
-> [Billprest] PING
-> [Volterra] PING
<MonkeyWmn> The rest of you seem okay.
<BabyRain> I bet if we start singing, she'll catch up. :)
<MonkeyWmn> What should we sing?
<Volterra> no wonder, she's on an AOL server
<BabyRain> "Seems" is the operative word, Pat.  I can fool the 
best of them. :)
<Billprest> Moon River comes to mind.
<Volterra> I take that back .. that was "lala" not "kidlala" :)
<MonkeyWmn> That's why I used it, BR. :)
<BabyRain> Mooooooon River, wider than a mile ? I'm crossing you 
in style some day
<MonkeyWmn> LaLa's down to 212 secs. :(
-> [KidLaLa] PING
* BabyRain knows bits and pieces to lots of songs
<BabyRain> That's good, right? (sigh)
<BabyRain> Any word from Jeff?
*** Billprest has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer)
<MonkeyWmn> Not since last week.
<MonkeyWmn> YIKES!  AOL zapped Bill!
*** BabyRain changes topic to "Save the Monkey!"
<MonkeyWmn> And it'll be a miracle if he can get back on.
-> [BabyRain] PING
-> [BabyRain] PING
<BabyRain> Miracles were made for Monkiacs.
<MonkeyWmn> Speaking of miracles, are we all asking the Disney 
Channel to start airing the show again?
<MonkeyWmn> Except for poor Disney Channelless BR, that is. :(
<Volterra> I have.
<BabyRain> Oh, foopies.  I'm lagged.
*** BabyRain has quit IRC (Going to get more Diet Pepsi!!!)
<MonkeyWmn> We're losing them, Volterra.
<Volterra> But at least we Disney-ites can get fresh copies to 
BR, right?
<MonkeyWmn> What are we going to do?
<Volterra> It's not a good irc day, is it?
<Volterra> ummm ... be patient? :)
<MonkeyWmn> It's a bit slow, but you know how it is. :(
<MonkeyWmn> I don't want to switch servers unless we absolutely 
have to.
<Volterra> Incidentally, I'm going to convert those WAVs into 
Mac sounds so I can set them off when I do a certain action 
:)
<MonkeyWmn> I don't want to confuse folks.
<Volterra> BR can't get on our server?
<MonkeyWmn> I think she can.  I just don't want to confuse other 
folks if we go to Undernet, for example.
<MonkeyWmn> BTW, what actions set off what WAV files?
<MonkeyWmn> LaLa's lagging five minutes behind!
<Volterra> ye gods
<Volterra> well, if, for example if it's an error I could have 
Sarah scream "Jake! Jake! Oh Jake I was screamg for you" (or 
whatever that is)
<MonkeyWmn> Can you listen to WAV files on a Mac or do you have 
to convert them?
<Volterra> or for a shutdown sound "Goodnight, sleep tight, 
don't let the bedbugs bite"
<MonkeyWmn> Aren't you a clever little girl. :)
<Volterra> I can listen to them, but I have to convert them to 
put them in the system folder
<Volterra> and use them as "action" sounds :)
<MonkeyWmn> And when it's time for you to go turn in with Hubby 
Dan, you can play the "Time for blessings" file. :)
<Volterra> LOL!
*** BabyRain (babyrain@stjhts07c47.nbnet.nb.ca) has joined

<MonkeyWmn> Welcome back!
*** MonkeyWmn sets mode: +o BabyRain
<Volterra> she's ba-ack!
-> [BabyRain] PING
<MonkeyWmn> 4 secs, BR!
<BabyRain> Thanks. :)
-> [KidLaLa] PING
<BabyRain> Not bad -- so far.
<MonkeyWmn> I'm afraid to see how bad Lesley's lagging now.
<BabyRain> I was up to forty a little while ago.
<MonkeyWmn> Not as bad as Lesley.  She's up to 301 seconds!!
<BabyRain> Maybe she's not really there.  Maybe she's logged off 
but it won't let herback on.
<BabyRain> Hey, where's Barbie?
<MonkeyWmn> Maybe Barbie forgot.
<MonkeyWmn> I didn't email anybody to remind them.
<BabyRain> Oh.
<MonkeyWmn> Well, except for the quickie I dashed off to the 
senile Aussie. :)

*** BabyRain sets mode: +o Billprest
<KidLaLa> Where's everybody goign?
<KidLaLa> going
<MonkeyWmn> Yippee!!  Billy boy is back!
<KidLaLa> What happened to Beel?
<Volterra> Hey! who are you alling senile!
<Volterra> calling even
* Volterra just typed that withou having her irc window active 
:(
<Billprest> Sheesh.  One second I'm listening to Karen's 
stirring rendition of Moon River, next second the screen goes 
blank.
<MonkeyWmn> Forgetting how to spell now too, are we? :)
<BabyRain> I got a ping reply from LaLa.   Seven minutes, 22 
secs
<Billprest> Did I miss anything?
<MonkeyWmn> Egad!!!
<BabyRain> Doesn't say much for mysinging, eh Bill? :)
<Billprest> No, no, it's fine.
<Volterra> I've seen the Thames, but I've never seen the Nile :)
<MonkeyWmn> We were discussing the WAV files.
* BabyRain beams.
<Billprest> It just trashes my computer, that's all.
<Volterra> LOL!
<BabyRain> (sigh)
*** KidLaLa has quit IRC (Leaving)
<MonkeyWmn> Hopefully, LaLa will reconnect.
<BabyRain> I figured that would happen.
<Billprest> There went Lesley.  Were you guys singing some more?
<BabyRain> Okay -- veal and frogs legs.  What else?
<BabyRain> Lesley has a bad case of lag.
<MonkeyWmn> Anyway, did you like the WAV files, Bill?
<Billprest> Lamb & mutton.
<Billprest> Yes I did!
* BabyRain thinks she would have starved on Boragora.
<Billprest> Put in the Johnny Kimble one about people that talk 
to dogs.
<MonkeyWmn> I've got to make some more, but I have to find some 
place to put them.
<Billprest> And mahi mahi.
<BabyRain> ?
<MonkeyWmn> I'm running out of room.
<Billprest> Fish
<Billprest> What happens then?
<Volterra> on both aol and cris?
<BabyRain> The ABC weenies step in.
<BabyRain> Why are they showing TOTGM in Audtralia but not here, 
Leanne?
<MonkeyWmn> In 'High Stakes Lady', Jake tries to make up for 
having an affair with the German spy-slut by buying Sarah 
shark for lunch. :)
<Volterra> becaus I emigrated and am unable to watch it back 
hom. I thought that was obvious
<BabyRain> Oh.
<MonkeyWmn> I have to call the Concentric folks and see how much 
it costs to buy more web space.
<BabyRain> Weenies.
<Volterra> Shark isn't a yukky fish
<MonkeyWmn> Shark isn't a fish.  It's a mammal.
<BabyRain> Jake is scum sometimes.
<Volterra> Sharks have gills. They're fish
<MonkeyWmn> But he's cute scum.  After all, Sarah took him back. 
:)
<BabyRain> Leave me out of this, please. :)
<Volterra> mind you, don't they give birth to live young?
* BabyRain heard this exact same argument at work today.
<MonkeyWmn> Why don't we just say that they're yucky creatures 
and leave it at that? :)
* BabyRain runs screaming from the room
* Volterra needs to know now
<MonkeyWmn> BR!  COME BACK!!
<Volterra> "voracious large sea fish" says the dictionary
<BabyRain> back
* Volterra is satisfied
<Volterra> come back, BR
<MonkeyWmn> Hey, you're right, Volterra.
<BabyRain> As opposed to a desert fish.
<BabyRain> ?
<Volterra> thank you, Monkey Lady
<MonkeyWmn> My dictionary says "elasmobranch fishes".
<BabyRain> Or a mountain fish.
<MonkeyWmn> Let's sing the fishies song!!!
<Volterra> Isn't that when you jelly fish and serve them up with 
whipped cream?
<MonkeyWmn> We can sing along with Jake! :)

<BabyRain> I told you that would work. :)
<BabyRain> 1 min 41 secs for Barb
<Volterra> hey, we're all back!
<KidLaLa> What about me?
<Crickett1> I was picking up my husband from work.. sory I'm 
late!
<MonkeyWmn> So, I knew it was the Pet Shop Boys!  What does that 
say about me? :)
<KidLaLa> NO FEAR!
<Crickett1> that's sorry
-> [Billprest] PING
<BabyRain> Missed you, Lesley.
-> [Crickett1] PING
-> [KidLaLa] PING
<MonkeyWmn> At least Bill's not lagging anymore.
<KidLaLa> It's not my fault!
<Crickett1> what'd I miss?
*** KidLaLa has quit IRC (Leaving)
<MonkeyWmn> However, Lesley and Barbie are.
<Crickett1> feeling laggy.....
<Volterra> barb: sharks are fish ...

<BabyRain> Christmas, I mean
<KidLaLa> Thanks, MW!
-> [KidLaLa] PING
<Crickett1> sharks are fish?
<Crickett1> of course they are...
<KidLaLa> Bonless fish.
<MonkeyWmn> YIPPEE!  LaLa's down to five seconds!!
<BabyRain> Sharks are sharks.
-> [Crickett1] PING
<Crickett1> oh, I get it.. it's a secret code of some sort
<BabyRain> YAY!!!
<KidLaLa> That's boneless fish.
<MonkeyWmn> However, Barbie's still behind the times.
<Volterra> they have cartilage instead of bones
<Volterra> don't they?
<BabyRain> Yeah, it's a code.  Part of the Save the Monlkey 
campaign. :)
<MonkeyWmn> Yep, Volterra.
<BabyRain> Monkey
<KidLaLa> Howdy, one and all.
<Crickett1> {entertaining self while lagging}
<KidLaLa> We won't ask how, Barbie.
<BabyRain> Nope.
<Volterra> no Barb: we wer *really* talking bout that
<KidLaLa> BR, and Leanne, did you get the recipe?
<Volterra> BR: I haven't put up your wonderful graphic on my

allergic to all nuts but peanuts (which aren't nuts!)

re-boot, I'll be back asap!

<Billprest> Back again.  Duty called.
<Volterra> BR: but I *did8 visit your wedding page -- you had a 
piper?! Cool!
<Billprest> It doesn't appear that I was missed.
* Billprest sighs
<KidLaLa> Harvey wore his TOTGM jacket on the SH set and Steve 
told him, "You'd better watch that!"
<BabyRain> Oh, where have you been, Billy-Boy, Billy-Boy?  
(reciting)
<Volterra> oh where have you been my charming billy?
<BabyRain> Really, LaLa?  Why did he say that?
<KidLaLa> I missed you Bill.  And I wasn't even here!
<Billprest> Get to the charming part.  It's my favorite.
* MonkeyWmn wants a TOTGM jacket!
<Billprest> Hello Lesley!
* Volterra does too!
<BabyRain> I'd look good in the hat.
<KidLaLa> Hiya, Bill!
<Billprest> When Barbie gets back, we are equal with these young 
whippersnappers.
<KidLaLa> BR, in an e-mail today.  MW, you know who to ask!
<KidLaLa> Bill, yes, equality.
<MonkeyWmn> Oh yeah.  Like he'd give me a jacket!  Like he even 
has a jacket to give me! :(
<BabyRain> I'd settle for email.
<KidLaLa> It's GORGEOUS here today!!
<BabyRain> Or the hat.
<KidLaLa> MW, you never know until you ask.
* BabyRain tosses a shovelful of slush at LaLa.
<Volterra> you know, we oughtta make T-shirts for the informal 
get-together ...
<KidLaLa> BR, or what's under the...
<Volterra> or badges ... or both ...
* MonkeyWmn doesn't want to appear greedy.
<BabyRain> You bad, LaLa. :)
* BabyRain doesn't care, cuz no one reads the logs ... :)
<MonkeyWmn> If no one reads the logs, BR, then let's talk about 
Eye Contact! :)
<BabyRain> Umm, lovely book.
<BabyRain> Very ... informative.
<BabyRain> Great imagery.
<BabyRain> Can I stop now?
* BabyRain squirms.
<MonkeyWmn> Imagery?  Is that even a word?
<BabyRain> Yes, it's a word.
<KidLaLa> MW, you know it is.
* MonkeyWmn goes to her dictionary again.
<Volterra> it's definitely a word
* BabyRain points to her degree in literature hanging on the 
wall.
<KidLaLa> BR, we should get you a shirt that says "I am not a 
coat hanger."
<BabyRain> Okay. :
<BabyRain> :)
<Volterra> LOL!
* KidLaLa points to the wall and is proud to find it.
<BabyRain> Make it black, witth a monkey. :)
<BabyRain> I have to point at the degree once in awhile, to make 
it feel important.
<KidLaLa> I suppose we could add a monkey picture with a word 
balloon saying "liberate me"
<KidLaLa> My degree is buried in a drawer somewhere.
* Volterra nods that sounds totally cool ... we should all have 
them, with "15th Anniversary of Tales of the Gold Monkey" in 
the coat pocket space on the front
* MonkeyWmn is degreeless. :(
* KidLaLa thinks Volterra has a great idea there.
* MonkeyWmn went to the School of Hard Knocks
<BabyRain> MonkeyWmn has a job, though
<Volterra> yes, much good a degree is doing me at the moment!
<KidLaLa> MW, but you're certainly not clueless.  :)
* MonkeyWmn has a job that pays her to go see the new, improved 
"Star Wars" before all the little people
<MonkeyWmn> MWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
<BabyRain> I'm lagging again ...
<Volterra> Kinko's does t-shirts for $16 ... no idea of the 
quality or whether they do just the back or just the front ...
-> [BabyRain] PING
<KidLaLa> MW, LOL.
-> [Billprest] PING
-> [KidLaLa] PING
-> [Volterra] PING
<BabyRain> I am not a coat-hanger
<Volterra> It's the same Star Wars ... just updated the effects 
so the screens don't look so blotchy
<MonkeyWmn> BR, you're only 7 secs to me.
<KidLaLa> I have never ever used my degree in a job.
<KidLaLa> Although I've always had a job. :)
<KidLaLa> I can get a better price than that here.
<Volterra> I have -- but "Computer Science" is kind of a 
practical degree
<KidLaLa> So you meant to say you're not hanging again.
<KidLaLa> Where's Bill, he's being too quiet, I am suspicious.
<KidLaLa> Leanne, a good degree to have indeed.
<BabyRain> LaLa, you're lagging, sweetie.
* MonkeyWmn should have gotten her degree in Undergraduate Film 
and Television, but went broke
<BabyRain> Bill is lagging, too.
<KidLaLa> The computer science graduates here are about the only 
ones getting jobs.
<MonkeyWmn> Yep, they're both nearly a minute behind.
<Volterra> LaLa: I just happened to have picked up a brochure 
from Kinko yesterday when I got my ugly passport photos
* BabyRain is tempted to make a $40,000 paper airplane out of 
her degree.
<KidLaLa> It's not my fault!!

<MonkeyWmn> Bill's down to 3.

<KidLaLa> Especially Bill.
<BabyRain> Caught me. :)
<BabyRain> I'm really an illegal alien -- Princess Koji of the 
Japanese Imperial House.
<KidLaLa> BR, with your rep, it wasn't difficult.  :P
<MonkeyWmn> You can't arrest Karen, Lesley.  She's in Canada.
<BabyRain> Love, love me do ... :)
<BabyRain> ?O Canada ... terre de nos aieux ...
<MonkeyWmn> Oh, oh!  BR's taunting LaLa with Beatles tunes!
<KidLaLa> I didn't say arrest, I said bust.
<BabyRain> Oops.  It was an accident.
<BabyRain> Really.
* BabyRain waits for Lesley to slap her.
* KidLaLa is saddened by the taunts.
-> [KidLaLa] PING
<BabyRain> I wish I were busted. :(
<MonkeyWmn> No you don't.  If you were, you wouldn't be able to 
chat with us.
<BabyRain> They'd get in the way of my typing?
* KidLaLa is too nice to do that over an accident.
<KidLaLa> But she will remember.  MWAHAHAHA.
<MonkeyWmn> Oh no!  LaLa's back up to 65 seconds!

<KidLaLa> Leanne, side note, you can leave the nuts out or

<BabyRain> What?
<Volterra> Cool .. I'll try it with peanuts ...
*** KidLaLa has quit IRC (Leaving)
<MonkeyWmn> BR:  Lesley was refering to your wanting to be 
busted.
<MonkeyWmn> Guess she gave up. :(
<BabyRain> You know, I'd rip all my hair out at this point if I 
weren't absolutely certain it would grow back grey.
<MonkeyWmn> Do you think we should try another server next week?

<Volterra> LaLa I'll send you my recipe for "Bashed-up Brown

<KidLaLa> What's the matter, BR?
<BabyRain> Nothing, LaLa.

<KidLaLa> Thanks, MW.

*** KidLaLa has quit IRC (Leaving)
<MonkeyWmn> This is getting ridiculous!
<Billprest> Where does Lesley keep disappearing to?
<BabyRain> Yup.
<MonkeyWmn> What server should we try next week?
<BabyRain> May I make a suggestion?
<MonkeyWmn> Undernet wasn't too terrific.
<MonkeyWmn> Shoot, BR.
<BabyRain> hebron.in.us.dal.net.  Port 7000.
<BabyRain> DalNet is pretty stable if all are on the same 
server.
<MonkeyWmn> How do you change the port in mIRC?
<BabyRain> That's been my experience, amyway.
<Billprest> Double yup
<BabyRain> When it gives you the list of servers, you can add, 
delete, or edit.
<Billprest> Sure
*** KidLaLa (Pohl@140.211.94.124) has joined #TOTGM
<KidLaLa> Let's try this again.
<Volterra> type /server herbon.in.us.dal.net 7000

<MonkeyWmn> Leanne showed up just after you left, BR.
<MonkeyWmn> She then left again.
<KidLaLa> Ask MW Barbie, she's the expert
<Billprest> Apparently my dog threw up twice today.
<KidLaLa> Lucky Bill.

<KidLaLa> Buffy?
<MonkeyWmn> Then, open mIRC and connect to server EFNET:  US, 
America Online
<Billprest> Buffy is the dog's name.
<Volterra> ok, I'm very lagged *still* ...wilry concentric again 
....
<KidLaLa> I know, I'm questioning your decision to name her that.
*** Volterra has quit IRC (Changing servers)
<Billprest> She's a fine old Lab.  12 years old.
<KidLaLa> Good dog.
<BabyRain> Is she a vampireslayer?
<Billprest> Karen, you kidder you.
<KidLaLa> Bill, she's not kidding.  Be afraid.
<Billprest> We named her Buffy because it was easy for my 
daughter to pronounce.
<Barbie1> I can dial into AOl.. then what?
<KidLaLa> Oh, not for a former girlfriend then.  :P
<Billprest> Not hardly.
<KidLaLa> Just kidding.
<Billprest> They don't name girls Buffy do they?
<Billprest> Except back east.
<KidLaLa> But she's not a particularly fluffy Buffy is she?
<Billprest> Only when wet.
<Barbie1> I can dial into AOl.. then what?
<Billprest> Then she dries out and is puffy.

<MonkeyWmn> Hey, BR, if you want to heat up, listen to side two 
of your cassette. :)

<KidLaLa> Must not like me.  :(

right name on the screen but I still got that error message.

<BabyRain> The same.

<KidLaLa> You did send me some though first, right?
<KidLaLa> And put some aside for Scud?  Did he show?
<BabyRain> Well, maybe if Pat put on the page "To get to the new 
server, type /server hebron.in.us.dal.net 7000", then my 
email address for questions, that should help.  Heck, put it 
on the BB,too.

<KidLaLa> Or the smurf?
<BabyRain> Ummm...

<BabyRain> Not the smurf!
<KidLaLa> Oreos?

tell you about his relative dimensions (dementias?)

smurf joke now.
<BabyRain> Probably eating Oreos.
<KidLaLa> Then snuff the smurf.

<BabyRain> No -- it was the run before mine.  But the driver was 
pretty shook up.
<KidLaLa> Icy roads?
<BabyRain> I hope it's work busy.
<KidLaLa> Me too.
<BabyRain> Very icy.  It snowed, then we had sleet, and then 
rain.
<KidLaLa> It really was gorgeous here today.  You could feel the 
heat from the sun even.  Had to have made it into the 60s.
pretty shook up.
<BabyRain> Really?  Send a little sunshine this way.
<KidLaLa> I'll do my best, although that's really my mom's 
department.
<BabyRain> Your mom's department?
<KidLaLa> She is a champion at bringing/sending sunshine.
<BabyRain> Ah.
<KidLaLa> I'll speak to her for you and MW.
<BabyRain> I don't think Tom's coming. :(
<KidLaLa> Mmmmm.  Perhaps we should call it a day.  I think MW 
already has.  :)
<BabyRain> Yup.
<KidLaLa> Well, thanks for hanging with me.
<KidLaLa> You can e-mail me you know, BR.
<BabyRain> No problem. :)  
<MonkeyWmn> Should we keep this part in the log?
<BabyRain> Are the email police still after you?
<BabyRain> Does it matter?
<KidLaLa> They seem to have gone away this term.  And starting 
Monday you'll have more free time, right?
<KidLaLa> MW, if you want, doesn't bother me.
<BabyRain> Well, sort of.  I won't be online as much.  I'll be 
doing everything offline and checking at intervals.
* KidLaLa sticks her tongue out at BabyRain.
* BabyRain shrugs.
<BabyRain> It's either do it that way or give up the chats.
* KidLaLa sighs. She no effects the others with her antics.
<BabyRain> And I'm incapable of giving up the chats.
<KidLaLa> Or win the lottery, right?
<BabyRain> Right.
<BabyRain> I need a rich benefactor, is what I need.  A patron.
<KidLaLa> Okay, see you later.
<KidLaLa> A sugar daddy?
<MonkeyWmn> Well, I'm gonna head on out.
<KidLaLa> Nightie night MW.
<BabyRain> Not quite.  Just someone who wants to look after me 
while I create my bestseller.
<MonkeyWmn> Talk to ya gals tomorrow.
<KidLaLa> See you two monkiacs tomorrow.
<BabyRain> Night!
<MonkeyWmn> Good night!
