<BabyRain> Hi.
<GMonkey> Hi!
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o BabyRain
<BabyRain> Why are we here?
<GMonkey> It's Tuesday, ain't it?
<BabyRain> It's Tuesday?!
* BabyRain checks her calendar.
* GMonkey checks her computer. Yeah, it's Tuesday.
<BabyRain> It's Tuesday. :)
<GMonkey> Oh, great!  Everybody's gonna forget!
<BabyRain> No.  Just me.  And I didn't forget.  I was just 
teasing.
<GMonkey> Uh-huh. :)
<BabyRain> Really.  Ask LaLa when she gets here.
<GMonkey> Uh-huh. :)
<BabyRain> Da da da
<GMonkey> La la la. :)
<BabyRain> Ha ha ha. :)
<BabyRain> I have no DP, Pat. :(
<GMonkey> Do you want me to go get you some?
<BabyRain> No, that's okay.
<GMonkey> Should we discuss the coat hanger today?
<GMonkey> Or maybe we should talk about the Gathering.
<BabyRain> Coat hanger next week.
<BabyRain> Let's talk Gathering.
<GMonkey> Okay.  So should we discuss the Gathering?
<BabyRain> I've been experimenting.
* GMonkey trembles
<BabyRain> I made a new pop-up for myself. :)  Wanna see?
<GMonkey> Maybe we should discuss the Gathering when Leanne's 
here.
<GMonkey> Um.  Sure.
<BabyRain> Yeah.  Let's wait til people come.
<BabyRain> Okay.  It's the same idea as slap.
<GMonkey> But Leanne won't be here today.  She's working.
* BabyRain implores GMonkey to help her SAVE THE MONKEY!!!
<BabyRain> Cool, huh?
<GMonkey> I'm doin' the best I can. :)
<BabyRain> I know. :)
<BabyRain> Even got yourself some free timeto work harder at 
it. :)
<GMonkey> Yep! :)
<GMonkey> I feel all things happen for a reason.
<BabyRain> You are so dedicated.
<GMonkey> I'm supposed to now go out and get me a real job and 
work harder on the site.
<GMonkey> Maybe get a job in the entertainment industry.
<BabyRain> Pick me!  Pick me! :)
<GMonkey> Hey, Tom says he reads these logs.
<GMonkey> Maybe he can get me a job. :)
<BabyRain> Hey Tom!  Pick me!  Pick me! :)
<GMonkey> Me too, Tom! :)
<GMonkey> We're a package deal. :)
<BabyRain> Us, Tom!  Us! :)
<GMonkey> You think that's enough begging? :)
<BabyRain> Well, that was fun.  Can you hang on a minute?  I 
have to go to the LGR and then to get some iced tea.
<GMonkey> Sure.
<BabyRain> brb
* GMonkey puts on the Muzak
<BabyRain> Hi. :)
<GMonkey> Hello. :)
<GMonkey> I was just answering a message from the guy who runs 
the "7th Heaven" site.
<BabyRain> Anything exciting happen while I was gone?
<BabyRain> Oh, him.  Is he enjoying watching "Bambi"?
<GMonkey> Just listening to the Muzak version of "Eleanor 
Rigby". :)
<GMonkey> Bambi?
<BabyRain> Ah, look at all the lonely people.  That's actually 
one of my favourites.
<BabyRain> Never mind, dear. :)
<GMonkey> Oh, you're just trying to confuse me, aren't you?
<BabyRain> What's the main thing I remember about the guy who 
runs the &th Heaven page?
<BabyRain> 7th
<GMonkey> I don't know.  What is the main thing you remember?
<BabyRain> Deer.
* BabyRain shouts "Welcome to Monkeychat, GMonkey !"
<BabyRain> That one works, too.
* GMonkey finally isn't foozed
* BabyRain shouts, "Welcome to Monkeychat, GMonkey!"
<BabyRain> There.  I'm all done playing now. :)
<GMonkey> Okay, BR.
<GMonkey> Let me finish answering the Deer Boy and I'll be 
right back.
<BabyRain> ok
<GMonkey> Ok
<GMonkey> back
<BabyRain> ok
<GMonkey> Hey, where's LaLa?
<BabyRain> I really like the way the latest comic looks on the 
bb.
<BabyRain> I don't know where LaLa is.
<GMonkey> So did LaLa.
<GMonkey> Hmmm...perhaps I should e-mail her.
<GMonkey> I thought she was coming tonight, but perhaps not.
<BabyRain> I thought so, too
<GMonkey> brb
*** KidLaLa (Pohl@140.211.98.153) has joined #TOTGM

*** BabyRain sets mode: +o KidLaLa

<GMonkey> 'Bout Time, Girl!
* KidLaLa covers her sensitive ears.
<GMonkey> It's BR's new toy. :)
* BabyRain implores KidLaLa to help her SAVE THE MONKEY!!!
<KidLaLa> Sorry, I was sending you both Bahb's picture.
<BabyRain> Ah. :)
* KidLaLa will help save the monkey.
<BabyRain> Thank you.
<KidLaLa> How is MW doing?
<GMonkey> MW is fine.
*** Billprest (Billpresto@152.172.23.171) has joined #totgm
<BabyRain> Bill!
<KidLaLa> Hiya, Billiam!!
<GMonkey> Hi ya, Bill!
* BabyRain shouts, "Welcome to Monkeychat, Billprest!"
<Billprest> Hiya kids!
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o Billprest
<Billprest> It's raining outside like it was Oregon or 
something.
* KidLaLa is only a semi-kid compared to Bill.
<BabyRain> You're only as old as you feel.
<KidLaLa> Gee, Bill, I've got blue skies.
<BabyRain> I've ot that rotten white stuff.
<GMonkey> My rotten white stuff has melted away. :)
<Billprest> Lesley, I'll get you for that.
<Billprest> It ain't fair - raining cats etc. in Denver and sun 
in Oregon.
<KidLaLa> Snag me a Siamese Bill.  :0
<Billprest> We may be shoveling this stuff come tomorrow.
<KidLaLa> Bill, that was a compliment!!
<BabyRain> I hate snow. :(
<Billprest> I come in out of the pouring rain, and the boys 
here at the shop have a hot mug of cappuccino ready to go 
for me.  They're champs, aren't they?
<KidLaLa> Way to go, team!!  Where's ours?  :)
<GMonkey> I'd rather just have a black coffee.
<BabyRain> Bill, comment ta va?
* KidLaLa pours a piping hot cup of java for MW.
<GMonkey> Thank you.
<GMonkey> Mmmm...tasty.
<KidLaLa> Bowen made it.  :)
<GMonkey> BTW, LaLa, Bahb's not a bad looking guy.
<KidLaLa> Does the picture come through nice on your screen?
<GMonkey> Bowen's one talented feline.
<GMonkey> Very nice and clear.
<KidLaLa> Yeah, Bahb's pretty cute for 50.
* Billprest sends a steaming mug of frothy cappuccino to 
Oregon, New Brunswick, and of course Boston.
<Billprest> I'm fine, t'anks.
<KidLaLa> Thanks, Bill.
<KidLaLa> Is it me or is Bill lagging?
<Billprest> Speaking of cats (and I guess that's what we're 
speaking of), ours has an abscess or something in his right 
front leg. 
<GMonkey> Could you move mine a bit further south, Bill.  I 
don't want to drive up to Boston to pick it up.
<BabyRain> Hey, LaLa -- Bahb's not bad, for an old guy. :)
-> [Billprest] PING
-> [BabyRain] PING
-> [KidLaLa] PING
* KidLaLa wonders why Bill mentioned that as she was sipping 
cappuccino.
<GMonkey> Yep, Bill's lagging.
<KidLaLa> BR, I think so to.
<GMonkey> I knew it was too good to be true.
<Billprest> Patricia - you're not in Boston proper?
<Billprest> My goodness, do I like cappuccino.
<GMonkey> 40 second lag on the Billster. :(
<KidLaLa> Could be a lot worse.
<Billprest> They kick me periodically, so beware.  I may 
disappear suddenly.
<BabyRain> Okay, Bill.
-> [Billprest] PING
<KidLaLa> Bill, you ARE going to take your kittum to the vet?
<Billprest> Rascal is at the vet, even as we speak.
<KidLaLa> My felines thank you for taking care of their 
kindred.
<BabyRain> Folks, do you think I should get a passport for 
Septemeber?
<Billprest> Hominy cats you gots, Lesley?
<KidLaLa> Three.  Two of mine and one I "inherited" from Tal.
<GMonkey> Gee, I don't know, BR.  Do I need one to visit you?
<KidLaLa> BR, you don't need a passport, do you?
<BabyRain> I don't technically need it, but my ID is noe half 
and half between McLean and Kraglund.
<GMonkey> Could you get one anyway so we can make fun of the 
picture?
<BabyRain> :-P
<KidLaLa> So Bill where is a picture of you?  We're still 
waiting!!
<BabyRain> Yes, Bill. :)
<KidLaLa> MW, LOL.
<BabyRain> GM, I don't think you need one.  I think you just 
need proof of your American citizenship.
<Billprest> It's in a .bmp file somewhere.
<Billprest> I gotta figure out how to compress it.
<Billprest> But I warn you, I'm not smiling in the shot.
<BabyRain> When I went acroos the border, I just used my 
medicare card.
<GMonkey> GIVE US THE PICTURE!!!!
<KidLaLa> That's okay, Bill.
<KidLaLa> When I went across I just smiled sweetly.
<Billprest> Speaking of pictures, when you guys have the 
reunion slash convention, take a bunck of photos.
<BabyRain> Did I ever tell you my Canadian customs horror story 
about the milkshake?
<KidLaLa> Bill, I plan on bringing a video camera!!
<GMonkey> I heard the milkshake story.
<BabyRain> Bill, I'll be videotapiong it, if I can go.
<BabyRain> Oh, right.  On the phone. :|
<GMonkey> And I'll be selling the tapes for $10 a pop. :)
<KidLaLa> Bill, I'll get a hug for you from someone if you 
want. :)
<Billprest> Where you smuggling illegal duty-free milkshakes 
into Canada, Karen?
<Billprest> Jeff, I reckon.
<KidLaLa> Bill, NOT a problem.
<KidLaLa> At least not at my end.  :)
<Billprest> My guess is that Jeff would be beside himself with 
joy to be huggin' on y'all.
<KidLaLa> I like your guess fella!!
<BabyRain> Bill, my dad and I were in St. Stephen, right on our 
side of the border one day.  When he found out I'd never 
been to the States before, we drove across the bridge to 
Calais and went to McDonald's.  Customs refused to believe 
we went to another country for a milkshake and spent twenty 
minutes going over the car.
<BabyRain> Sorry so long. :(
<KidLaLa> Just glad you're back BR.  :)
<BabyRain> Me too. :)
<GMonkey> But you didn't bring us any milkshakes. :)
<Billprest> Do you guys look suspicious, Karen?
<KidLaLa> I was thinking that Karen probably made the Customs 
guys suspicious.
<BabyRain> This was in 1986.  I suspect the shakes would be a 
bit disgusting by now.
<BabyRain> I looked like a 16 year old Duran Duran fan.
<KidLaLa> But they were McDonald's milkshakes.  They have a 
shelf life of 30+ years.  :)
<GMonkey> Hey, McDonald's milkshakes are loaded with 
preservatives.
<BabyRain> Oh.  Okay. :)
<BabyRain> They aren't up here.
<KidLaLa> Now are you sorry you threw them out?
* BabyRain wonders exactly what she drank.
<KidLaLa> BR, you don't want to know.
<GMonkey> I remember the rumor about the shakes containing 
plastic.
<BabyRain> I'm still thinking of meeting GM at the border in 
April. :)
<KidLaLa> Shhh!!  You'll make BR cry.
<GMonkey> Probably an urban myth.
<Billprest> Hey, approx. how long does it take to transfer a 
150,000 byte file?
<BabyRain> PLASTIC?!
<BabyRain> Bill, only a few seconds.
<GMonkey> Well, not Tupperware plastic.
<KidLaLa> Chemically enhanced plastic.   MWAHAHAHA.
* BabyRain feels her stomach lurch
<GMonkey> It was only a rumor.
* KidLaLa steps well back from BR.
<BabyRain> So was Elvis' death.
<GMonkey> BR:  I will not throw up.  I will not... :)
<BabyRain> LOL!
<KidLaLa> LOL
<BabyRain> Bill, what do you think of the recent comics?
<KidLaLa> There goes BR grubbing for compliments again.  :)
<BabyRain> No.  He said he liked the first one, so I was just 
wondering.
<KidLaLa> Just teasing, BR.  Everyone LOVES them, you know 
that.
*** Billprest has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<KidLaLa> Especially the last one.
<GMonkey> Did you fully understand the latest Komic (tm), Bill?
<BabyRain> Yeah, I figured people liked them. :)
<KidLaLa> Bill be dead.
<GMonkey> Sigh.  Ya knew it would happen.
<BabyRain> Bye, Bill.
<KidLaLa> Not like, LOVE!!
* BabyRain waves a black handkerchief
* GMonkey sheds a tear
* KidLaLa plays Taps.
<KidLaLa> So, MW, I presume you invited some *others* to this 
chat?
<BabyRain> Lesley, there are a couple others you'll like.
<BabyRain> I was talkking comics
<KidLaLa> BR, I will LOVE them all.
<GMonkey> Well, I didn't send out invitations, per se.
<KidLaLa> An e-mail reminder mayhaps?
<BabyRain> Tom's busily working on a script
<GMonkey> Everybody knows we hold the chats on Tuesdays.
<KidLaLa> But when even Leanne can forget....
<GMonkey> She's working.
<KidLaLa> And I meant from another time, not today.
<GMonkey> Well, that's because she forgot it was Tuesday.
<BabyRain> Do you guys have KD down there?
<GMonkey> What's KD?
<BabyRain> Kraft Dinner.
<KidLaLa> Mac and cheese?
<BabyRain> Yeah.
<KidLaLa> Num!!
*** Billprest (Billpresto@172-23-171.ipt.aol.com) has joined 
#totgm
<GMonkey> Kraft Cheese and Macaroni.
<BabyRain> Hi, Bill!
<GMonkey> Hi again, Bill.
<KidLaLa> Yippee, Bill be back!!
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o Billprest
<Billprest> Rats.  They bumped me.
* BabyRain puts the black hanky away
<GMonkey> Weenies!!!
<Billprest> Lesley, did you get the file?
<KidLaLa> Not yet, did you get mine?
<KidLaLa> It has to cross the mountains you know Bill.  :)
<Billprest> Yes I did!  You have a very radiant, winning smile.
<KidLaLa> Gee thanks!!
* KidLaLa grins at no one in particular.
<Billprest> Karen, you have a radiant winning smile as well.
<Billprest> Anyway, do they have McDonalds in NB?
<GMonkey> Okay, LaLa, stop grinning and start talking.
<BabyRain> Okay, guys, I have a bone to pick.
<GMonkey> Pick at the bone of your choice, BR. :)
<KidLaLa> You leave my bones alone, BR!
<BabyRain> Yes, we have McD's (aka Raunchy Ron's).  We also 
have Burger Thing, Wendy's and a few other places.
<BabyRain> Why don't other people post messages to the Bulletin 
board anymore?  I feel like a one woman show.
<BabyRain> :(
<Billprest> Pick away.
<KidLaLa> Bill, FYI, MW has a very radiant winning smile.
* BabyRain shakes her finger at the mythical log-readers, while 
she's at it.
<GMonkey> Well, Cal has been very vocal lately.
<GMonkey> Thanks, LaLa.
<BabyRain> Yes.  Cal has.  It's great.
<KidLaLa> Lorie's been checking in too.
<BabyRain> Uh-huh.
<KidLaLa> And the Gneech is back.
<Billprest> I'll try to weasel a picture out of MW someday.
<BabyRain> I've got one, Bill. :)
<KidLaLa> MW, can I send Bill your picture?
<BabyRain> WWhat's it worth to you?
<GMonkey> I was just about to suggest it.
<Billprest> Say yes, Patricia.
<BabyRain> Drat.  So much for my profit margin.
<GMonkey> Be warned, it's not quite representive of me.
<Billprest> Still no pic, Lesley?
<KidLaLa> Bill, nyet.  But I'm on my slow machine.
<BabyRain> "The old black rum's got ahold of me, like a dog 
wrapped 'round my leg ..."
<BabyRain> Bill, did you see today's comic?
<Billprest> Lesley, I just got a message from AOL saying my 
file is too long, and it has been converted to a text file.  
So all those letters are actually me.
<KidLaLa> Bill, MW's picture is on the way.
<KidLaLa> Bill, :(
<Billprest> Today's comic...which one was it?
<GMonkey> Coat Hanger!
<BabyRain> The Step One ...
<KidLaLa> Smart Corky comic.
<Billprest> Coat hanger!  Yes!  Mucho funisimo!
<BabyRain> Snarky Karen comic
<KidLaLa> You are pretty snarky BR.  :)
<BabyRain> I think that's one of my favourites, althought thr 
frog one holds a dear place in my heart. :)
<GMonkey> Bill, did you fully understand the Komic?
<KidLaLa> BR, in your heart?
<BabyRain> In my *heart*. :)
<KidLaLa> Okay, if you're sure.  :)
-> [Billprest] PING
<BabyRain> I'm *sure*. :)
-> [BabyRain] PING
-> [KidLaLa] PING
<KidLaLa> But maybe someplace else too?  :)
<BabyRain> Nein.
<BabyRain> Bill's lagging 40 secs
<KidLaLa> MW, are you caught up on making tapes these days?
<BabyRain> Which one comes after Late Srah White?
<GMonkey> I'm never going to be caught up.
<BabyRain> Sarah
<GMonkey> The Sultan of Swat
<KidLaLa> Que Srah Srah.
<BabyRain> Oh. :(
<KidLaLa> The Sultan of Swat is a fun one.
<GMonkey> Well, you can always fast forward through it. :)
<BabyRain> And then?
<GMonkey> Ape Boy.
<BabyRain> Oh. :(
<Billprest> The Komic was kinda hard to read here in Denver.
<BabyRain> And then?
<GMonkey> God Save the Queen.
<BabyRain> How, Bill?
<KidLaLa> BR, you're going to lose your Monkiac status if you 
don't stop that!
<BabyRain> Hey, I sat through "Lady and the Tiger".
<KidLaLa> That's the hardest in my book.
* GMonkey pats Babyrain on the head for being a good, little 
soldier
<Billprest> Hey, Patricia looks pixel for pixel just like I 
pictured her!
<GMonkey> YIKES!!  Even the bad haircut?!!
<KidLaLa> That's our Monkey Woman!!
<GMonkey> What the hell was I thinking?!!!
<KidLaLa> So how long is your hair now MW?
<BabyRain> The TRUE MONKIAC (tm)
<KidLaLa> BR, hardy har har.  :)
<GMonkey> About shoulder length, but it curls up so it looks a 
bit shorter.
<KidLaLa> Long enough for Jake to run his fingers through, eh?
* BabyRain is still in love with Jake Cutter, even if he is a 
male slut.
<KidLaLa> And he doesn't have a gray FC.  :)
<BabyRain> Right.
<KidLaLa> I understand the sight of that bothered you?
* GMonkey giggles at the recollection
<BabyRain> Barforama.
<BabyRain> I had nightmares.
<KidLaLa> SOP in my book.  :)
<GMonkey> What's the FC's full acronym, BR.
<BabyRain> Worst part was, I was eating a hot dog at the time.  
I told GM an apple because I wasn't strong enough for the 
torment.
<KidLaLa> BR, ROTFLMAO.
<BabyRain> The FC?  The YIBGFC or something like thhat.
<KidLaLa> And I understand COMPLETELY!!
<GMonkey> Wait, let me get the exact quote.
<GMonkey> brb
<BabyRain> ok
<KidLaLa> Thank goodness for MW.  But methinks Bill is about to 
die.
<Billprest> Hey, what does ROTFLMAO etc. mean?  Or do I want to 
know?
<KidLaLa> Rolling on the floor laughing my a.. off.
<BabyRain> Rolling on the floor laughing my ass off
<KidLaLa> Ooooh, BR, what you spelled out!!
<GMonkey> Don't have it.  It's on my work PC.
<BabyRain> We all have donkeys on our backs. :)
<BabyRain> I've probably got it. brb
<GMonkey> okay
<KidLaLa> Well, some have monkeys on theirs.  :)
<Billprest> I think I just got cut off by AOL.
<Billprest> Or maybe not.
<KidLaLa> Bill, still reading you loud and clear.
<KidLaLa> If not exactly quickly.  :)
<BabyRain> I don't have it either.
*** Billprest (Billpresto@172-23-171.ipt.aol.com) has left 
#totgm
<GMonkey> Sigh.  We lost him again
* KidLaLa pulls out her trumpet again.
* BabyRain reaches for that hanky
* KidLaLa decides to make a Taps .wav file.
<BabyRain> Gals, I think my husband is having an affair
*** Billprest (Billpresto@172-23-171.ipt.aol.com) has joined 
#totgm
<GMonkey> Now, stop that BR!
*** KidLaLa sets mode: +o Billprest
<GMonkey> Bill's back!
<BabyRain> with a COMPUTER!
<Billprest> Cyberweirdness is prevailing here.
<BabyRain> The humiliation!
<GMonkey> Hmmm...kinky. :)
<KidLaLa> It's going around these days, BR.
<BabyRain> I bet it's Plug 'n' Play.
<KidLaLa> Bill perhaps YOU have something to do with the 
weirdness?
<KidLaLa> BR, I'm telling your mom!!
<BabyRain> Go ahead.  I haven't talked to her since Christmas.
<KidLaLa> Well, if I talk to her, you will certainly be hearing 
from her!  :)
<BabyRain> No doubt.  Good luck finding her, though.  She has a 
different name than I do. :)
<KidLaLa> I'll ask Doug for it.
<BabyRain> I don't think he knows. :)
<KidLaLa> I'm not buying that.
<BabyRain> He can't even remember his brother's phone number.
<KidLaLa> BR, BTW, how's the writing progessing?
<KidLaLa> Writing in general that is, not a hint for another 
installment.
<BabyRain> I've got about 8000 words and the entire outline 
done.  But it's been a bad week.
<KidLaLa> Sorry to hear that.
<BabyRain> I write, then delete, then write, then delete.
* BabyRain shrugs
<BabyRain> I'm beginning to wonder if I chose the wrong project
<BabyRain> The "ooomph" isn't there.
<KidLaLa> Well, try switching off for a bit.
<KidLaLa> MW. whatcha gonna do tomorrow?
<GMonkey> Get my haircut.
<KidLaLa> Now wait a minute...
<GMonkey> I can't take it anymore.
<KidLaLa> I thought you said you were growing it out.
<GMonkey> Well, just cleaned up a bit and trimmed.
<GMonkey> I am, but it's getting scraggly.
<Billprest> Lesley, thanks for nada.
<KidLaLa> Whew, had me going there for a while.
<KidLaLa> Bill, ??????
<Billprest> Lesley - I sent the .bmp again.  Did it come 
through?
<KidLaLa> Not yet, so sorry.  :(
<KidLaLa> ME WANTA SEE IT TOO!!!
<BabyRain> Maybe I should write the Baby Rain story
<GMonkey> I'd read that.
<KidLaLa> I would buy a copy.
*** Billprest has quit IRC (toronto.on.ca.dal.net 
uncc.nc.us.dal.net)
<BabyRain> But that involves calling up an all-night deejay and 
I don'tknow if we even still have one of those in Saint JOhn 
anymore.
<GMonkey> Yikes!
<KidLaLa> All right, who killed Bill this time?
<BabyRain> Thee BR story isn't about me -- it's the story I 
named myself after
<BabyRain> I think the Canadians did, LaLa. :)
<KidLaLa> Well, never mind then!  :)
<GMonkey> Damn Torontans!
<BabyRain> Torontonians.
<KidLaLa> The Canadians must love me, they've never killed me.
<GMonkey> Whatever! :)
<KidLaLa> BR....
<BabyRain> And, just for the record, people from Halifax are 
called Haligonians.
<BabyRain> Yeah, LaLa?
<KidLaLa> A recent episode of Ren and Stimpy had them trying to 
enter Canada for sausages, and the border guard had sausages 
for epalauts.
<KidLaLa> I thought it was Torontonites?
<BabyRain> As far as I know, sausages aren't part of the 
standard uniform.  But sdtranger things have happened.
<BabyRain> Nope. Torontonians.
<KidLaLa> I have a Canadian airman's coat.
<BabyRain> Is he cold?
<GMonkey> I prefer just calling them Damn Canucks! :)
<BabyRain> ;)
<KidLaLa> Probably.  :)
<KidLaLa> It's a cool coat though.
<BabyRain> We call them hosers. :)
<KidLaLa> Is hosers a generic 'insult' type name or does it 
imply something specific?
* BabyRain dances a Maritime jig and thumbs her nose at those 
stuffy Upper Canadians
* KidLaLa puts away the breakables.
<GMonkey> Hey, Karen.  I just noticed your post to the 
alt.tv.7th-heaven newsgroup.
<BabyRain> Actually, "hoser" is in serious disuse.  I think we 
should bring it back.
<KidLaLa> But what did it originally mean?
<BabyRain> Yeah, GM, I decided to stand up and be counted.
<GMonkey> Good BR.
<BabyRain> I have no idea, LaLa.  Probably something sexual. :)
<KidLaLa> Ooooo...kay.
* BabyRain shrugs
<KidLaLa> And I'll check out your newsgroup posting after the 
chat.
<GMonkey> Babyrain thinks *everything* is sexual. :)
<BabyRain> No.
<KidLaLa> Your shrugging bothers me greatly.
<BabyRain> I don't think my humpback whale is particularly 
sexual -- but the one on the front of the tourism book is.
<GMonkey> Um...*hump*back isn't sexual?! :)
<KidLaLa> I don't know about you MW, but I'm steering clear of 
that one.
<GMonkey> Too late. :)
*** Billprest (Billpresto@168-220-84.ipt.aol.com) has joined 
#totgm
<GMonkey> He's back!!!
<Billprest> AOL is treating me rudely tonight.
<BabyRain> Two years ago, a woman came into the tourist info 
centre and accused us of ussing phallic imagery to promote 
our province, sending the subliminal message that NB is the 
Land of Sex.
<KidLaLa> COS, I saw Marta DuBois last night in the movie The 
Trial of the Incredible Hulk (and no, they were not 
referring to Jake!).
<KidLaLa> Bill, glad you're back, fella.
<BabyRain> The Incredible Bulk?
*** BabyRain sets mode: +o Billprest
<KidLaLa> BR, that woman needs to get a life.  Or maybe go 
visit Dildo.
<BabyRain> That
<BabyRain> is in Newfoundland. :)
<KidLaLa> Well, she hadn't gotten that far yet to complain.
<BabyRain> It's kind of hard to explain without the pictures in 
front of you, but we have some sea stacks that were on the 
front cover and that was what she was talking about.
*** Billprest has quit IRC (toronto.on.ca.dal.net 
uncc.nc.us.dal.net)
<GMonkey> Oh dear. :(
<KidLaLa> Some people can make obscene.
<KidLaLa> POOR Bill!!
*** Billprest (Billpresto@168-220-84.ipt.aol.com) has joined 
#TOTGM
<KidLaLa> My right eyelid has started to tick.  Don't know why.
<BabyRain> Actually, she was a psychologist and thought it was 
"ingenious".  I'll have to send you the tape of me 
explaining it.
*** KidLaLa sets mode: +o Billprest
<KidLaLa> BR, okey dokey.  And speaking of whales...
<BabyRain> Yes?
<Billprest> Hello hello.
<GMonkey> Hello hello.
<BabyRain> Allo, allo.
<KidLaLa> Mushi mushi.
<KidLaLa> Oregon is a great place for whale watching.  As 
opposed to Colorado. :)
<GMonkey> Hey, guys, do you think we should at least make an 
attempt to discuss the show?
<KidLaLa> What show?  :)
* BabyRain implores Billprest to help her SAVE THE MONKEY!!!
<GMonkey> Oh, never mind. :(
<KidLaLa> Seems like new blood for the gathering.  Cal and 
Caitlin!!
<GMonkey> This is really shaping up.
<BabyRain> We have to ask Caitlin that burning question.
<KidLaLa> Bill, you still there?
<KidLaLa> MW, more and more will sign up.
<GMonkey> Oh yes.  And hopefully, SC will be there for his 
rebuttal. :)
<KidLaLa> BR, you mean about kissing?
<BabyRain> Bill's in DCC with me.  He keeps getting knocked off
<BabyRain> Yeah, that burning question. :)
<KidLaLa> Yeah, he was in DCC with me and got knocked off too.
<KidLaLa> Hmmm...guess I'll need to track down that actress 
from Jesse Hawkes.
<Billprest> I'm here.  I'm talking on the phone, DCCing Karen, 
and trying to get over the rag on Colorado.
<KidLaLa> It was not a rag, Bill.  Me was teasing.  I do that 
with friends.
<Billprest> All is forgiven
* KidLaLa sighs, reassured.
<GMonkey> And maybe, if I get skeptical, SC will show me his 
osculation skills. :)
<KidLaLa> MW, dream on.  Though it's a nice dream.  :)
* GMonkey is imagining the scene at the Gathering.
<GMonkey> It is a *very* nice dream. :)
<KidLaLa> If he does make the Gathering, no way would he come 
without Faye.
<KidLaLa> BR has some Gathering dreams too I imagine.
<Billprest> Lesley - did you get the picture?
* Billprest dives for a dictionary to look up osculation
<GMonkey> So she'll be able to provide a second opinion. :)
<KidLaLa> Bill, I am so sorry to say--nyet.
<GMonkey> But I think she'll be too subjective.
* KidLaLa makes a smacking sound at Bill.
<GMonkey> We'll need an objective opinion.
<KidLaLa> Don't look at me!!
<GMonkey> Don't tell him, LaLa.  Make him look it up. :)
<KidLaLa> I didn't tell.  Hey, the class room next door just 
starting playing some loud reggae music!!
* KidLaLa starts bopping to the beat.
* BabyRain starts dancing

<Crickett> hey everybody!
* BabyRain shouts, "Welcome to Monkeychat, Crickett!"
<KidLaLa> Where been, girl!
<Crickett> sorry I missed y'all on Saturday... went out and 
partied the night before
* KidLaLa wonders how long until BR is hoarse from all the 
shouting. :)
<BabyRain> brb dog wants out
*** Crickett has quit IRC (Killed (caris.ca.us.dal.net

little upstarts.
<GMonkey> They got her again.
<Billprest> For a second there, anyway.

<KidLaLa> Now, Bill, say it now!!  We have the power!!
<Billprest> 40's rule!
<Billprest> Coup!  Coup!
<Billprest> To the barricades!
* KidLaLa kicks up her heels in celebration.
<Crickett1> brb... gotta change phone lines here :)
<GMonkey> Fine.  Then you folks take over the website and the 
cost of maintaining it. :)
*** Crickett1 (Barbiester@ppp_1.aonline.com) has left #TOTGM
<Billprest> How much does it cost, if I may ask?
<KidLaLa> Well, it was nice while it lasted.  :0
<GMonkey> About $40 a month.
<KidLaLa> Too much, I'm outta here...
<Billprest> $40 American?  What a sacrifice.
<GMonkey> You should have seen the bills before AOL went to the 
flat rate plan.
<Billprest> It does not go unappreciated.
<Billprest> Good old AOL. (Maybe they'll keep me on for a few 
minutes longer.
<KidLaLa> You seem to be doing right well for now.
<GMonkey> So are we going to talk about the show?
<KidLaLa> Start the ball rolling and I'll help push...
<KidLaLa> Me really want to talk about the gathering though. :)
<GMonkey> Well, okay, we'll talk about that.
<Billprest> brb
<GMonkey> Everybody's leaving. :(
<KidLaLa> Okey dokey.
<KidLaLa> Not me!!
<KidLaLa> Is Barbie still gone?
<GMonkey> Yep.
<KidLaLa> Hmmm, maybe the right people weren't here.  :)
<GMonkey> Just us plain folk. :)
<Billprest> For one brief, shining moment, the Monkiacs in 
their middle age ruled the page.  Sigh...
<KidLaLa> The good dependable studious hardworking folk.
<GMonkey> Yep. :)
<BabyRain> I feel old.
<GMonkey> Why, BR?
<Billprest> Yeah, I felt old when I was 26.  But then I learned 
better.
<BabyRain> This is the first birthday I've not wanted
*** Crickett (Barbiester@ppp_1.aonline.com) has joined #TOTGM
<KidLaLa> Me too, Bill.  Now I feel about 12.  :)
<Billprest> BARBIE!
*** Crickett is now known as crickettss
<GMonkey> Hi, Barbie.
<KidLaLa> not wanted....
*** KidLaLa sets mode: +o crickettss
<crickettss> re-hi
<KidLaLa> Gee, Barbie, you seem to be having troubles.  :)
<crickettss> geez... can't seem to stay online here
<KidLaLa> We can superglue you to the server.  :)
<crickettss> DALnet works better for you than for me, I guess!
<KidLaLa> BR, not wanted what?
<BabyRain> my birthday
<GMonkey> Why don't you want your birthday?  I've got you 
presents. :)
<KidLaLa> I haven't wanted my birthday for years and years, 
still get it though.  :)
<BabyRain> Well, okay.  But can it be 1996 again?
<KidLaLa> Just start counting backwards.
<crickettss> sure!
<GMonkey> Sorry.  Only one 1996 per customer. :)
<crickettss> partypooper
<KidLaLa> But BR if you're like this at 26, how will you make 
it to the ripe of age of LaLa and Bill?
<KidLaLa> of = old
<crickettss> BR's only 26??!!
<KidLaLa> She's the baby of the bunch!  She'll be 27 real soon 
though.
<GMonkey> Almost 27.
<BabyRain> Give me two weeks, Barbie -- then I'll be 27. :)
<KidLaLa> A mature woman then.  :)
<BabyRain> How old did you think I was, barbie?
<crickettss> geez... wait'll you catch up with the rest of us!
<BabyRain> I married an old man, so I seem old now. :)
<Billprest> Old man?  Define old, Karen.
<crickettss> with the dreading of a b-day.. I thought late 
thirties!
<KidLaLa> Doug!!  BR's picking on you again!!
<KidLaLa> Bill, don't!!
<BabyRain> Uh, Bill ... Doug says he's 72.
<Billprest> Barbie - we can't wait till you're 40.
<crickettss> just a few more months!
<Billprest> He didn't look that old in the wedding photos.
<Billprest> Yes!!
<KidLaLa> BR keeps him young.
<Billprest> Then we have the little boogers.
<KidLaLa> The children.
* crickettss is primping her LEO hair, and sharpening her LEO 
claws...
<Billprest> The little rugrats...
<KidLaLa> MW and BR are our little rugrats.  :)
<BabyRain> Doug's 35.  He'll be 36 in July. :)
<KidLaLa> Just a youngster.
<crickettss> speaking of youngsters... has Jeff disappeared on 
us again?
<KidLaLa> Wait a minute, youngsters, Jeff?
<Billprest> The upstarts...
<Billprest> Youngster!
* Billprest thinks it's strangely silent in Boston. Hopefully 
no retribution if planned.
<KidLaLa> Bill, I'm thinking the same thing!
<Billprest> Jeff's gotta be about my age.
<KidLaLa> Jeff's 48.
<GMonkey> I don't think of Youngster as a being bad. :)
<KidLaLa> Still young.
<crickettss> that's okay... he ACTS young!
<Billprest> Young, young.
<KidLaLa> True, him do act young.
<crickettss> I don't act my age either, thank goodness!
<KidLaLa> If I did, I'd be covered in cobwebs!
<Billprest> You know the old saying, "I look 30, I act 20, I 
feel 50, I must be 40."
<crickettss> LOL
<Billprest> Barbie, how's Alaska?
<KidLaLa> Bill, it's I look 40, feel 30, act 12, must be 
confused.
<GMonkey> brb
<Billprest> lol
<crickettss> Alaska's still here.. had an e-quake night before 
last

away

sabotaging her only fellow youngster. :)
<KidLaLa> North or south of Anchorage?
*** BabyRain sets mode: +o GMonkey
<crickettss> North of Anch... at Hatcher Pass
<KidLaLa> BR, you're no fun!  :)

followed by the 5.0
<KidLaLa> More fun!!  Sorry I missed em.
<crickettss> you can Have 'em...
<BabyRain> Earthquakes?
<GMonkey> Oh sure!  You all turn against me!
<KidLaLa> Me like earthquakes.  Really.
<Billprest> Good old Karen.  A mature person at heart.
<Billprest> Karen, we make you honorary empress.
<Billprest> Reminds me of the old Carole King song.  But I bet 
Alaskans are tired of it.
<Billprest> She's back!  Everybody take cover!
*** KidLaLa changes topic to "Oldsters Rule!"
<crickettss> I figured we were due, since it's been quiet for a 
long time
<KidLaLa> Where go, MW?
<KidLaLa> Turning down the heat?
<GMonkey> Had to say hi to the Dadster and put something in the 
dishwasher.
<KidLaLa> Please say hi to the Dadster for me too.
<KidLaLa> And was it Amy you put in the dishwasher?  :)
<GMonkey> She would't fit. :)
<crickettss> Yeah, I'm supposed to be doing housework!!
<KidLaLa> Push and stuff real hard...
<KidLaLa> Barbie, too late in the day for housework.
<GMonkey> I don't want to break the dishwasher. :)
<KidLaLa> Call it a night.  :)
<crickettss> Been cleaning this place ALL DAY
<crickettss> Still only 3:30 here
<KidLaLa> Still too late for working.
<crickettss> can't quit too early... husband is home and he'll 
think I do this all the time!
<KidLaLa> Naw, he's a man, you can trick him easy.  (Sorry 
Bill)
<BabyRain> My hubby is getting a laundry lesson tonight
<KidLaLa> BR, que?
<KidLaLa> Does a bubble bath qualify as a laundry lesson?
<BabyRain> No.
<crickettss> Sorry I missed you guys on Sat.... went out 
dancing the 2 nights before... woke up at NOON on Sat..and 
could hardly move!
<BabyRain> Someone is either going to put his laundry away or 
face the wrath of Pele.
<GMonkey> Dump him into the volcano, BR!!! :)
<KidLaLa> It was a quiet chat Barbie, you didn't miss much.
<Billprest> Lesley, if I hadn't sworn off the trout slap 
function, bammo.
<KidLaLa> BR, throw his laundry on his computer.
* KidLaLa slaps Billprest around a bit with a large trout

Gathering plans.
<KidLaLa> Well, you guys have fun.
<KidLaLa> What else was she working on besides shirts?
<GMonkey> Looking into the hotels in the area.
