<KidLaLa> Hiya, MW!
<GMonkey> Hiya, LaLa!
-> [KidLaLa] PING
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o KidLaLa
<KidLaLa> Thanks.
<GMonkey> How are ya this fine weekend?
<KidLaLa> Just fine and dandy thanks.
<GMonkey> Is the SM there? :)
*** BabyRain (babyrain@stjhts18c06.nbnet.nb.ca) has joined 
#TOTGM
<KidLaLa> BR!!
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o BabyRain
<GMonkey> Hiya, BR!
<BabyRain> Comeent ca va, mes amis?
<KidLaLa> MW, yes he is.  I offered to give him a lunch break 
after the chat.
<BabyRain> Comment ca va, I mean. :)
<BabyRain> brb
<GMonkey> In return for what, LaLa? ;)
<KidLaLa> Je suis bien, merci.
<KidLaLa> MW, mmmm, haven't gotten that far.
<GMonkey> He's young, LaLa.  Be gentle. :)
<KidLaLa> MWHAHAHAHA.
<GMonkey> Oh, that poor boy. :)
<KidLaLa> He loves it.
<GMonkey> I'm sure he does.
<KidLaLa> Sure acts like he does.  ;)
<KidLaLa> BR has run off already?
<GMonkey> Oooooo!  Details!!!
<BabyRain> What am I missing???
<GMonkey> LaLa and the Studmuffin!
<BabyRain> Oooh. :)
<KidLaLa> He is really sweet.  Too sweet for me.
<BabyRain> There's this guy called Slash Dotcom on CBC Radio 
right now, performing poetry about the Net. :)
<GMonkey> Well, then send him out my way. :)
<KidLaLa> MW, okey dokey, all yours.
<GMonkey> Thank you! :)
<KidLaLa> BR, clever name, huh?
<BabyRain> Pepsi ate all the chocolate chip cookies I made to 
share
<GMonkey> Bad Pepsi!  Bad, bad Pepsi!!
<KidLaLa> Chocolate is poisonous to dogs!!  Poor Pepsi.
<BabyRain> The poetry is pretty funny.  All about this poor guy 
who falls in cyberlove, discovers "Yvette" is a guy, etc.
<BabyRain> I think she'll be okay.
<BabyRain> She once ate one of my underwire bras and survived.
<KidLaLa> No funnier than the true story of those two people 
who met on the net, got married, then the groom turns out to 
be a woman.
<GMonkey> My dogs used to eat chocolate all the time.
<KidLaLa> The bride was *not* pleased.
<GMonkey> I can imagine.
<BabyRain> I think it depends on the dog, but because the 
reaction is so severe that it's not worth the risk.
<GMonkey> BTW, Leanne may be a little late.
<BabyRain> LaLa, your story is a good case for premarital sex. 
:)
<GMonkey> She and Hubby Dan had to run some errands this 
morning.
<KidLaLa> BR, any dog who eats chocolate suffers somewhat 
whether the owner notices or not.
<BabyRain> Has he legally changed his name yet?
<KidLaLa> BR, shame on you!!
<BabyRain> What?
<KidLaLa> The premarital sex bit.  :)
<BabyRain> Well, the bride would have known. :)
<KidLaLa> They *did* have premartial sex!
<GMonkey> Well, a pre-marital physical would have done that. :)
<KidLaLa> martial = marital
<BabyRain> They DID?  
<KidLaLa> BR, YES!!
<GMonkey> Uh, how?!
<BabyRain> Ok, premarital sex with all the lights on, then. :)
<KidLaLa> I'm not going into details here.
<GMonkey> I'll edit the log.
<GMonkey> Besides, look at the topic line.
<BabyRain> Woo-hoo!
<KidLaLa> I'll e-mail you two.  But the "groom" was very 
clever.
<GMonkey> I think this definitely comes under the heading 
"free-wheeling". :)
<BabyRain> ok
*** KidLaLa changes topic to "Prim and Proper Monkey Chat"
<GMonkey> Oh, well, I guess it'll have to do.
<GMonkey> NOOOOOOOO!!!
<KidLaLa> HEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
*** BabyRain changes topic to "Yeah, right."
<GMonkey> I don't want this chat to be prim and proper!
<GMonkey> I want people to feel free to speak their minds.
*** KidLaLa changes topic to "Den of Iniquity"
*** BabyRain changes topic to "What are you at?"
<KidLaLa> BR, are talking ebonics again?
*** GMonkey changes topic to "Enough with the #%^&)# topic 
changes!!!"
*** BabyRain changes topic to "Freewheeling Monkeychat"
<BabyRain> Better?
* KidLaLa decides enough is enough and decides to leave.
<GMonkey> Anyway, I wanted to put in a disclaimer in case there 
are any "lurkers" about.
<GMonkey> A certain TV star may be reading this.
<KidLaLa> I don't think so.
<GMonkey> Well, in the message he sent me yesterday, it sounded 
like he read last Saturday's log.
<GMonkey> Or somebody related info to him.
<KidLaLa> Probably the latter.
<GMonkey> But he does seem like the type who likes to find out 
what people think about him and his work.
<GMonkey> So him reading the logs would make sense.
<KidLaLa> Gee, I wonder who it could be.
<KidLaLa> Duh.
<BabyRain> >
<BabyRain> ?
<GMonkey> BR, you seem foozed.
<KidLaLa> She does.
<BabyRain> I am.
<GMonkey> Remember what I told you yesterday?
<BabyRain> Yes.
<GMonkey> So, why are you foozed?
<BabyRain> I was wondering about LaLa's suspect.
<KidLaLa> There's only one suspect.
<GMonkey> I think LaLa knows whom I'm talking about.
<GMonkey> We know the others either read the logs or stop by to 
chat.
<KidLaLa> If he *is* reading the logs, it would explain why I 
haven't heard back from him.  :)
<BabyRain> Same here. :)
* KidLaLa has not been particularly nice in some of the logs. 
:)
<GMonkey> But we *really* like him, right girls?
<KidLaLa> Pfffttttt!!
* KidLaLa worships Jeff and Jeff alone.
<GMonkey> He is a really sweet guy, at least to me.
<BabyRain> I do.  If I didn't like him, being ignored wouldn't 
hurt so much, and I wouldn't be so bitter. (sniff)
<KidLaLa> That's cause you're a suck up!!  :)
<KidLaLa> MW, not BR.  :)
* BabyRain makes sucker noises
<KidLaLa> LOL
<GMonkey> Well, if sucking he wants... :)
<BabyRain> You're gonna give him a lollipop?  Or a lather?
<KidLaLa> OH MY GOD, WHAT YOU SAID!!!
<GMonkey> Oh my!  Whatever are you filthy girls thinking? :)
* GMonkey bats her eyelashes innocently
<KidLaLa> You said it, you nasty girl!
* BabyRain slaps GMonkey around a bit with a large trout
<KidLaLa> You'd better edit this log, lordy have mercy.
<GMonkey> Hey, I'm not *that* kinda girl. :)
<BabyRain> Nah.  I dar her to leave it. :)
<KidLaLa> BR, me too.  :)
<GMonkey> Hey, he's written a lot worse. :)
<KidLaLa> No wonder you two get along so well.
<KidLaLa> And you know he has now been permanently scared off!
<GMonkey> Oh, he knows I'm not serious.
<KidLaLa> Does he?
<BabyRain> He should show up and prove us wrong. :)
<GMonkey> HEY!  I'M NOT SERIOUS!
<BabyRain> Yeah, right. :)
<KidLaLa> BR, yeah, you'd like that wouldn't you?  :)
<GMonkey> Unless, he *wants* me to be serious. :)
<BabyRain> I would like that, yes. :)
<KidLaLa> Too late, MW.
* BabyRain wonders if her favourite cowboy will show today.
<KidLaLa> Have you talked to your favorite cowboy lately BR?
<KidLaLa> Or mooed to him?
<GMonkey> Go ahead, BR, tell her. :)
* GMonkey smirks devishly
<KidLaLa> Good stuff?
<GMonkey> BR?  Are you there?
<GMonkey> Are you ignoring us?
-> [BabyRain] PING
-> [KidLaLa] PING
<GMonkey> I think the latter. :(
<GMonkey> Fine.  Next topic.
<KidLaLa> MW, maybe an avalance got her.
<GMonkey> The Gathering!!
<KidLaLa> I wanta know what she's keeping from me!!
<GMonkey> Nothing much.
<BabyRain> Sorry.  Was just sending an invite. 
<KidLaLa> BR, sure.
<BabyRain> I was.
<KidLaLa> BR, so what's the scoop?
<BabyRain> Scoop?
<GMonkey> Go back and read.
<BabyRain> ok
<KidLaLa> About the cowboy?
* BabyRain goes back and reads.
* GMonkey hums the Jeopardy! theme
<BabyRain> Oh.  No real scoop.
<KidLaLa> Ding!
<BabyRain> I beat ya. :)
<BabyRain> So how about those Blue Jays? :)
<GMonkey> Stop mentioning the Blue Jays!!!
* GMonkey is still wounded by the defection of Roger Clemens
<KidLaLa> Where'd Roger go?
<GMonkey> To Toronto!!!
<KidLaLa> To Canada!!?
<BabyRain> Okay (okay) Blue Jays (Blue Jays) Let's (let's) play 
(play) BALL.
<GMonkey> #$^_^_# Blue Jays!!!
<KidLaLa> I like the Blue Jays.
<KidLaLa> Not as much as the Sox, but...
<GMonkey> So let's talk about the Gathering.
<GMonkey> Just 7 months!
<KidLaLa> If I can go.
<GMonkey> Why won't you be able to go?
<KidLaLa> $$$
<BabyRain> I won't have any money, but just in case there's a 
miracle, I'm putting some plans off til May.
<GMonkey> Okay.  I'll move out to Orygun and split your rent 
with you so you'll be able to save enough money to go to LA.
<KidLaLa> MW, ah ha, it worked!!
<BabyRain> (sniff)
<GMonkey> No, no!  I typed that with my fingers crossed.
<GMonkey> BR will get *very* upset if I move out there.
<KidLaLa> Never mind.  Sigh.
<KidLaLa> Why should it make a difference to BR?
<GMonkey> But, hey, who knows what will happen in the next 
month or so.
<KidLaLa> Once you go visit her that is.
<BabyRain> Gimme an "M"!  Gimme an "A"!  Gimme an "I"!  Gimme 
an "N"!  Gimme an "E"!  What does that spell MW's new home!  
:)
<KidLaLa> Why on earth would she want to live in Maine?
* GMonkey appreciates being so wanted.
<BabyRain> It's only an hour from me. :)
<KidLaLa> But if she shares rent with me, then we can both 
afford to come visit you!
<BabyRain> (sniff)
<GMonkey> Now, now, girls.  Don't fight over me.
<KidLaLa> Sorry, didn't know the thought of my visiting you 
would bother you.  :(
<BabyRain> It doesn't.
<BabyRain> I want you both to move to Maine.
<KidLaLa> Then why are you sniffing.
<BabyRain> I want you both to move to Maine. :)
<KidLaLa> No Maine for me.
<BabyRain> New Brunswick?
<KidLaLa> Although I do like Maine.  Used to spend summers in a 
cabin on a lake there.
<KidLaLa> Canada couldn't handle me.  :)
<GMonkey> I've only been to Maine once and that was by mistake.
<BabyRain> Sure we could, :)
<KidLaLa> You say that now....
<KidLaLa> MW, well you'll be there again soon.
<KidLaLa> brb
<BabyRain> I want to play "Evita".  Just thought I'd share 
that.
<GMonkey> And this time on purpose.
<GMonkey> Thanks for sharing, BR.
<KidLaLa> Back.
<BabyRain> Hi, LaLa.
<GMonkey> So, I wonder if anybody else is gonna show up today.
<KidLaLa> I wish I were, BR.  :)
<BabyRain> I don't know.
<KidLaLa> Leanne, eh?
<BabyRain> I don't think it's Blacksmith Saturday.  I think 
that's next week.
<KidLaLa> Did you send out an email reminder to the list, MW?  
Or have you given up on that?
<GMonkey> I gave up on that.
<GMonkey> Hey, we've been holding these chats forever.
<KidLaLa> Have not.
<GMonkey> No need to remind folks about them.
<BabyRain> Have so.
<KidLaLa> Have not.
<GMonkey> Children, behave yourselves.
<KidLaLa> MW, since you have everyone on a list, it couldn't 
hurt to remind them.  People have lots of distractions.
<GMonkey> I don't have everybody on a list. :(
<GMonkey> I send out e-mails from memory.
<KidLaLa> You know what I mean.
<BabyRain> Hey, LaLa.  What do you think of L'Ile des Combles?
<KidLaLa> Speak English, dammit.
<BabyRain> The Island of Peaks.
<KidLaLa> Who's peaks?  Koji's?
<BabyRain> No.
<KidLaLa> Yours?
<BabyRain> Nevermind.
<KidLaLa> I was being facetious.
<KidLaLa> For my dad, you know.
<BabyRain> Ah.
<BabyRain> Here comes Leanne.
<KidLaLa> He likes Koji's peaks.
*** Volterra (danswler@sdts3-81.znet.com) has joined #totgm
<BabyRain> The ones he's convinced are fakes.
<Volterra> Greets all!
*** KidLaLa sets mode: +o Volterra
<BabyRain> Hi!
<KidLaLa> Hiya, Leanne!!
<GMonkey> Hi!
<KidLaLa> BR, yep.
<BabyRain> Hi, Leanne.
* Volterra watched Legends Are Forever last night ... :)
<KidLaLa> Good choice, Leanne.
<KidLaLa> Clear!
<GMonkey> So you finally got the tapes?
<Volterra> yup :)
<BabyRain> I liked that one.
<GMonkey> Are the copies good enough for you? :)
<Volterra> It had quite a few glitches in that one - was that 
typical?
<Volterra> they're ok
<KidLaLa> BR, so now you are more familiar with Gandy?
* Volterra isn't sending them back
<GMonkey> No, most are glitch free.
* Volterra wants to know what happened to Gandy's daughter
<GMonkey> But you have to remember, the original tapes were 14 
years old.
<KidLaLa> She's alive and well and living in Ohio.  :)
<GMonkey> Molly Dancer became a very rich little girl.
<BabyRain> Actually, she just passed away five years ago.
<KidLaLa> Now she's a grandmother.
<KidLaLa> BR, she did not!!
<BabyRain> She did.
<KidLaLa> You are a fibber.  :)
<GMonkey> In LaLa's universe, none of the characters die.
<GMonkey> Especially Willie. :)
<BabyRain> Not even Willie?
* Volterra is with LaLa on that one.
<BabyRain> half a jinx. :)
<KidLaLa> BR just being a troublemaker.  :)
<GMonkey> So what else is new? :)
<KidLaLa> Leanne, thanks.
<Volterra> you're welcome Lesley
<BabyRain> Leanne, I finally saw "Trunk from the Past"
<KidLaLa> MW, she who knows all....is Gandy left handed or 
right handed?
<BabyRain> left
* GMonkey hangs her head in shame because she didn't notice
<Volterra> BR: what did you think?
<BabyRain> I think Ted was a dweeb
<KidLaLa> BR, you got her!!
<Volterra> yup!
<KidLaLa> Ted was definitely a dweeb.
<GMonkey> But now that you mention it, he *was* left handed.
* BabyRain does the Infant Precipitation Dance of Joy
* GMonkey remembers the shooting scene on the suspension bridge
<KidLaLa> Must be why he's special to me.
* Volterra 's favourite part was the bar brawl at the bgeinning 
of Legends
<BabyRain> LaLa, you're left-handed?
<KidLaLa> BR, yepper.
<Volterra> "Infant precipitation"?
<BabyRain> Yeah, I liked the fight scene
<BabyRain> baby Rain
<Volterra> It's raining babies ?
<GMonkey> BabyRain, Leanne!
<Volterra> I think I just got it
<BabyRain> :)
* Volterra is slow :)
<KidLaLa> The fight scene was fun, especially the little man 
who walked through it.
<BabyRain> I like how they took a break. :)
<KidLaLa> I liked Corky explaining things to Sarah.
<BabyRain> Yup. :)
<BabyRain> But you like everything Corky does.
<KidLaLa> Almost everything.
<Volterra> Yeah, I liked the break :0
<Volterra> I think I just got it
<KidLaLa> His consorting with the mud slut, getting married, 
etc.
<KidLaLa> :)
<BabyRain> Ah.  I should have guessed. :)
*** Katchoo (katchoo@serv4.law.emory.edu) has joined #TOTGM
<BabyRain> HI!!!!!
<Katchoo> hi
<GMonkey> Hi, Katchoo!
<KidLaLa> Katchoo, that you?
* BabyRain shouts, "Welcome to Monkeychat, Katchoo!"
*** KidLaLa sets mode: +o Katchoo
<GMonkey> FRESH BLOOD!!!  MWAHAHAHAHA!!!
<BabyRain> Don't let her scare you, Katchoo.  Her medication 
should kick in soon. :)
<Volterra> Hi Katchoo, who are you? :)
<KidLaLa> From Emory.  I'm impressed.
<Katchoo> hi y'all
<GMonkey> Colleen, meet the gang.  Gang, meet Colleen.
<Katchoo> only temporarily from Emory, i'm in the process of 
dropping out of grad school :)
* Katchoo waves
* KidLaLa waves back at Katchoo
<Volterra> HI Colleen!
<BabyRain> What are/were you studying, Katchoo?
<BabyRain> :)
<KidLaLa> Us nosy.
<BabyRain> Very.
<Katchoo> us diplomatic and political history
<Katchoo> also japanese history and language
<KidLaLa> Ah ha!  A Koji/Todo fan.  :)
<BabyRain> Wow.  That's an eclectic mix. :)
<Katchoo> was working on PhD. got through my masters and 
decided to bail
<KidLaLa> Konichi wa, Katchoo.
<BabyRain> brb
<Katchoo> konichiwa o genki desu ka/
<KidLaLa> Watashi no neiko.
<GMonkey> Oh sure, Karen.  The second company arrives, you 
bail. :)
<Katchoo> actually the area i was focusing on was relations 
with japan right after world war ii
<Katchoo> I've always been fascinated with the 1930s/1940s so 
of course the show hooked me
<KidLaLa> Who was your favorite character, Colleen?
<GMonkey> Be prepared for the interrogation, Katchoo. :)
<Katchoo> Jake of course
-> [Katchoo] PING
-Katchoo- Pong!
* KidLaLa drops her head, she should have known better
<BabyRain> Another Jake fan. :)
<Katchoo> had a huuuuge crush on him.
<Volterra> :)
<GMonkey> You see, LaLa, she's one of us. :)
<Katchoo> i was about 15 when the show came out.
<Volterra> who didn't? (besides LaLa)
<KidLaLa> Lorie and Cal and Barbie.
<GMonkey> The twentysomethings are taking over!!!
<Volterra> oh, ok :)
<Katchoo> a friend and I wrote notes and stories about the show 
for that entire year of high school
<KidLaLa> Well, four to one, odds are about even, I'd say.  :)
<BabyRain> It's great to have you here, Colleen.
<Katchoo> thanks :)
<GMonkey> That reminds me, BR, did you ever find your scripts?
<BabyRain> What sorts of stories did you write?
<Katchoo> I was psyched when I found the web page
<BabyRain> Not yet, GM.
<GMonkey> :(
<Katchoo> I've always wondered what would hav e happened when 
the war broke out.
<KidLaLa> We've talked about that too.
<GMonkey> Of course, on TV, it could have been 1938 for years. 
:)
<KidLaLa> Easy.
<Katchoo> I doubt they would have done it on tv....unless the 
show had gone on for a loooooong time
<Katchoo> just in my own head
* GMonkey wishes that the show had gone on for a loooooong time
<Katchoo> me too
<KidLaLa> You're probably quite right Katchoo.  It makes sense.
<BabyRain> same here
<GMonkey> So, what do you think happened to the characters 
during the war, Katchoo?
<Katchoo> I didn't even know that USA ran it in the late 
1980s!!  I completely missed that (first miserable years of 
grad school :P  no cable)
<KidLaLa> I never knew it either.
<Katchoo> Well Jake had supposedly gotten a bum leg from a 
wound from the Flying Tigers, and he was older (I think 
enlistment age was 35 or below)
<GMonkey> They hacked them up, Katchoo.  And they never aired 
two episodes, 'Shanghaied' and 'Trunk From the Past'.
<Katchoo> so I don't know that he could have enlisted
<Katchoo> but he would have tried I tink.
<Katchoo> think
<KidLaLa> Told you so, MW.  :)
<Katchoo> after Pearl Harbor
<GMonkey> Told me what, LaLa?
<KidLaLa> Oh, selective memory time, eh?  :)
<KidLaLa> I understand.  ;)
<GMonkey> Hey, it's television.  If he wanted to enlist, he 
could have enlisted.
<Katchoo> I stumbled over the hacked together Shanghaied/Trunk 
from the Past one day on a UHF channel--5 years ago or so.  
Just the last 20 minutes or so.  
<GMonkey> Heck, he was a Flying Tiger four years before they 
even existed!!! :)
<Katchoo> I think he probably would have been more suited to 
training younger pilots
<BabyRain> Having seen both episodes now, I have no idea how 
they could have put them together.
<GMonkey> You didn't miss anything, Katchoo.  That flick was 
horrible!!!
<Katchoo> Or maybe doing intelligence/covert stuff.
<KidLaLa> BR, you don't want to know!
<BabyRain> Especially the female ones, eh, Katchoo? :)
<KidLaLa> Katchoo, I figured he and Corky would work with 
different resistence groups.
<Katchoo> Heh
<Katchoo> There wasn't much civilian based resistanced in the 
pacific--not like Europe
<Katchoo> And not in the area they were in.
<KidLaLa> Some, but you're right, I envisioned them going to 
Europe.
* BabyRain pictures the Goose flying over Neuschwanstein
<Katchoo> On the edge of the Japanese mandate, Boragora would 
have been under Japanese control probably even before Pearl 
Harbor.  France and Japan were technically at war as of 
September 1939.
<KidLaLa> If only the show had stayed on...
<Katchoo> I don't think Jake would have been there by then 
though.
<Katchoo> I think he's have seen how things were going and 
headed back to China or back to the States.  To see what he 
could do.
<Katchoo> I would have liked to see Sarah become a competent 
intelligence operative.
<KidLaLa> Sounds like Jake.  With Corky trailing right behind. 
:)
<Volterra> so boragora would not have remained under Bon Chance 
Louie for very long, eh?
<BabyRain> Unless something happened to Sarah.
<Katchoo> Or hell, a competent person.
<BabyRain> Poor Sarah.
<GMonkey> Gee, Katchoo, you almost sound a bit jealous. :)
<Volterra> wel we know we can't ask for competent singing
<KidLaLa> Leanne, LOL.
<BabyRain> Oh, she's not that bad.
<GMonkey> But I know what you mean.  The writers made her such 
a whiner.
<BabyRain> :)
<Katchoo> no, disappointed.
<Katchoo> I could never identify with her as a character 
because she did such stupid things sometimes, I couldn't see 
myself doing them, so I couldn't relate.
<GMonkey> Instead of being tough and strong, they made her a 
damsel in distress so Jake could show off and rescue her.
<BabyRain> She had a few strong moments, though.
<KidLaLa> Not enough.
<Katchoo> Where I totally related to say, Karen Allen in 
Raiders or Princess Leia.
<GMonkey> She was pretty tough in 'Once a Tiger...'.
<BabyRain> Hey, if I was Sarah, I would definitely want Jake 
rescuing me. :)
<Katchoo> well of course, if you needed rescuing because of bad 
luck or overwhelming opposition.
<Katchoo> Half the time she needed rescuing cuz she was being a 
butthead to begin with
<BabyRain> or scary monkeys
<KidLaLa> But a nice butthead.
* BabyRain cracks open the Diet Pepsi
<KidLaLa> BR, isn't it easier to just remove the cap?  :)
<BabyRain> I was cracking the little things on the safety cap
<Katchoo> Louie certainly would have somehow been back in 
France working for the resistance.
<GMonkey> Hey, Leanne, have you looked into the hotels in the 
Van Nuys area for the Gathering.
<KidLaLa> More than likely.
<KidLaLa> Katchoo, have you heard about the Gathering?
<GMonkey> Not to change the subject, but we really should chat 
a bit about the Gathering today.
<Volterra> Pat: sorry hell has broken loose over in the AW 
fanworld and I haven't had a chance between it and work.
<GMonkey> That's okay, Leanne.
<KidLaLa> MW, didn't Otter do some research in that area?
<GMonkey> But it's just 7 months until the big weekend?
<Katchoo> AW fanworld?
<GMonkey> I haven't heard from her in a while.  Maybe I'll 
e-mail her and ask her.
<Katchoo> yes i saw some stuff on the webstie
<Katchoo> when is it supposed to be?
-> [Katchoo] PING
<Volterra> I'll revisit the links either later today or 
tomorrow and get back to you.
-Katchoo- Pong!
<KidLaLa> Based on the number of confirmed attendees, it seems 
a large nice hotel suite should work well.
<Volterra> Anthony Warlow.
<BabyRain> September, Kathchoo
<Katchoo> oh, who is that?
<Volterra> Who's confirmed?
<KidLaLa> Yeah, who is Anthony Warlow anyway?
<GMonkey> Starting the weekend of September 20, the Gold Monkey 
Gathering will begin.
<KidLaLa> Leanne, Tom, Jeff, Harvey, Caitlin, you, Dan, me, MW 
and hopefully BR.  As confirmed as anyone can be anyway.
<Volterra> an Australian musical theatre and operatic star, 
that's all.
<Katchoo> Cool
<Volterra> we've heard from Caitlin?
<Katchoo> Where will that be?
<KidLaLa> Cal did.
<KidLaLa> Caitlin says to count her in!
<BabyRain> Van Nuys, CA, Katchoo
<KidLaLa> Cal will try and be there too.
<Volterra> cool :)
<Volterra> Cal?
<KidLaLa> MW, am I forgetting anyone?
<KidLaLa> Leanne, Cal is one of the contributors of Cutter's 
Goose 1 and 2.
<GMonkey> I think that's about it so far, LaLa.
<KidLaLa> An old friend of Lorie's and Marilyn's.
<Volterra> so how many rooms? I assume the stars will be living 
close enough to VN to just visit.
<Volterra> oh. duh :)
<KidLaLa> I'll be staying with friends, so none for me.  MW, 
are you and BR going to share a room?
<GMonkey> Not if BR brings Doug with her. :)
* KidLaLa tactfully refrains from a naughty comment at this 
time.
<GMonkey> So with all these people coming, maybe we can 
convince SC to come to.
<KidLaLa> MW, maybe you can stay at the ranch of a certain 
cowboy?
<BabyRain> Where is Van Nuys?
<GMonkey> In case he's reading this, PLEASE, PLEASE COME TO THE 
GATHERING!!!
<Katchoo> If Stephen Collins were going to be there, I would 
hav eto go :)
<KidLaLa> Basically just another Los Angeles suburb.
<BabyRain> Yes, but where.  North?  South?
<KidLaLa> Northwest.
<GMonkey> Near Hollywood.
<BabyRain> Thank you.
<Volterra> north-east?
<GMonkey> We'll be close to Universal Studios.
<Volterra> north west of La is in the drink, ain't it?
<GMonkey> We could see where the sets used to stand. (sniff, 
sniff)
<BabyRain> Too painful for me.
<KidLaLa> I'll pass on the US tour.
<KidLaLa> Leanne, NW of LA is Ventura County, Ojai, etc.
<BabyRain> Wonder if they'll have an earthquake then.
<KidLaLa> BR, I can but hope.
<BabyRain> I want a little one.
<Volterra> Isn't Univ. Studs (*grin*) like an amusement park as 
well?
<GMonkey> Yep.  You get the grand tour and it has all sorts of 
rides and stuff.
* Volterra can do without an earthquake thanks
<KidLaLa> I'll try and go horseback riding while you guys are 
at Universal.
<BabyRain> Just a little one.
<GMonkey> BR, if you want the earth to move, ask Doug. :)
* Katchoo is away - Automatically set away. - messages will 
be saved.
* Katchoo has returned.
<KidLaLa> I'd like a medium to large quake thanks.
<GMonkey> BR, just ignore LaLa.  She actually *likes* snow, 
too. :)
<BabyRain> The heathen.
<KidLaLa> Wouldn't it be *awful* if we all got trapped 
somewhere with Tom, Harvey, Jeff, Steve, etc?  :)
<Volterra> yes, particularly if I couldn't feel my legs.
<KidLaLa> Leanne, LOL.
<GMonkey> Hey, Katchoo, if you need us to explain whom we're 
talking about, please feel free to ask.
<BabyRain> I just want one strong enough to feel it, but not 
strong enough to endanger anyone.
<GMonkey> No broken stuff either!
<Volterra> If we had to choose disasters, I'd rather a hostage 
situation, thanks.
<KidLaLa> Leanne, too scary.
<BabyRain> Not me.  I hate people.
* KidLaLa seconds BR.
<GMonkey> How about a blackout? :)
<Volterra> an earthquake isn't scary?!?!?!?!?!
<BabyRain> People as a species are downright frightening.  A 
gaping hole in the ground won't insult you before it kills 
you.
<KidLaLa> Leanne, not to me.
<KidLaLa> MW, now that has possibilities!  ;)
<GMonkey> I knew you'd like it. :)
<Volterra> BR: I'll settle for a little rocking motion, but no 
more.
<BabyRain> Well, maybe we can get the Monkey Bar's generator. 
:)
<KidLaLa> I was in that giant blackout in the 60s.
<KidLaLa> Jeff will have to be there then to fix it.
<BabyRain> Me too.  It was called The Womb. :)
*** Katchoo has quit IRC (Leaving)
<KidLaLa> BR, ha had.  I mean the big NY/New England blackout.
<GMonkey> Oh, bye, Katchoo.
<GMonkey> I wonder if it was something we said.
<BabyRain> Guess we bored her.
<Volterra> well, actually I'd more than happily settle for the 
locks to all the doors being mysteriously sealed.
<KidLaLa> Us?  Boring?
<KidLaLa> Leanne, that would definitely work!
<BabyRain> Maybe she's a purist.  Monkey all the way.
<GMonkey> Gee, I hope the stars don't walk out on us at the 
Gathering.
<Volterra> I think she maybe timed out or something.
<KidLaLa> MW, not if we behave.
<GMonkey> You mean we'll have to BEHAVE?!
<KidLaLa> No juvenile antics then.
<GMonkey> Then forget it!!
<KidLaLa> Okay.
<KidLaLa> Gathering's off you guys, MW said so.  :)
<BabyRain> Good.  Then I'll go to LA this week.  I couldn't 
wait seven months anyway. :)
<KidLaLa> BR, hey, pick me up on the way, okay?
<BabyRain> Are you on my flight plan?
<Volterra> I'msure one of them will ensure that a door's kept 
propped open :)
<KidLaLa> I can be.
<KidLaLa> MW, are you off sulking in a corner?  :)
<BabyRain> I am so sick of ice and snow.
<GMonkey> No, why?
<KidLaLa> You're being too quiet.
<GMonkey> But I don't have anything to say.
<KidLaLa> BR, you said only two more weeks, you can do it.
<BabyRain> I hope so.
<KidLaLa> MW, that's a truly scary thing to say.
<BabyRain> But I'm out of net time. :(
<KidLaLa> :(
<GMonkey> Does that mean you're leaving us?
<BabyRain> Nope.  I'm just saying TALK TO ME! :)
<KidLaLa> Musn't waste BR's valuable time!
<GMonkey> How about if I talk to SC.
<BabyRain> I can afford two extra bucks for Monkeychat.
<KidLaLa> To or about, MW?
<GMonkey> PLEASE, PLEASE, I'M BEGGING YOU!  PLEASE COME TO THE 
GATHERING!!!
<Volterra> net time>
<Volterra> ?
<BabyRain> But this week I'll be online only minimally, except 
between midnight and eight AM my time.
<BabyRain> Yeah, Leanne.  I only get 120 hours a month.
<KidLaLa> BR, guess we won't be talking this week.  :(
<BabyRain> Not much. :(
<Volterra> Maybe he just doesn't want to say he will because if 
he can't make it he knows he'll disappoint people.
<Volterra> bummer, BR
<GMonkey> I'd settle for a "If I can fit it into my schedule, I 
will".
<BabyRain> I agree, Leanne.  It is a bit hard to tell what 
you're going to be doing that far in advance when you don't 
know if you're even going to be working.
<KidLaLa> Actually, Leanne, if he'd just acknowledge the 
gathering...
<GMonkey> None of the others are truly definite.
<BabyRain> Tom is. :)
<GMonkey> What if he's working?
<KidLaLa> Even we Monkiacs are definite really.
<KidLaLa> are = aren't
<BabyRain> Heck, maybe the whole thing is a dream. :)
<KidLaLa> Maybe it is.  :(
* BabyRain starts humming the Dallas theme.
<KidLaLa> That's sick, BR.
<GMonkey> You know, I hate to admit this, but I've been 
watching Dallas reruns on the Nashville Network lately.
<GMonkey> Don't know why though.
<Volterra> true ...
* KidLaLa is SOOOO disappointed in MW.
<GMonkey> I'm sorry, LaLa. :(
* BabyRain just heard the weather forecast
<Volterra> ye gods.
<BabyRain> Freezing rain.  Ice pellets.  Heavy snowfall 
warning. (sigh)
<KidLaLa> Just for you, BR.  :)
<GMonkey> LaLa, just be glad I'm not watching The Dukes of 
Hazzard on TNN.
<BabyRain> Yee-haw. :)
<KidLaLa> I could handle you watching Dukes better than Dallas.
<GMonkey> Eeeww!  No Dukes!!
<KidLaLa> I've got Roscoe's autograph you know.
<BabyRain> Really?
<BabyRain> Cool. :)
<KidLaLa> Yepper.
<Volterra> yuck.
* Volterra is off to see the epic Hamlet this afternoon
<Volterra> I could handle wathg the Dukes.
<Volterra> Cool :)
<Volterra> watching even
<KidLaLa> Actually I've got a bunch of autographs but have lost 
track of them over the years.
<GMonkey> I've only got a few. :(
<BabyRain> The only autographs I have are from figure skaters.
<KidLaLa> I think I've probably thrown most of mine away 
without realizing it.
<Volterra> only has three
<KidLaLa> BR, do you have Scott Hamilton?
<BabyRain> No.  Sorry.  
<GMonkey> Which reminds me, SC, if you are reading this, why 
did I get an autographed picture of George Kennedy for my 
birthday?!
<KidLaLa> MW, you tell him!
* BabyRain does not wish to discuss birthdays.
<GMonkey> Enquiring minds want to know! :)
<KidLaLa> BR, then don't.  :)
<Volterra> who is George Kennedy?
<KidLaLa> Leanne, are your three Australian or American?
<BabyRain> Former president of the US ;)
<GMonkey> LaLa, help me list some GK movies.
<KidLaLa> Leanne, he's been in about 25% of all movies ever 
made in the U.S. since 1955.  :)
<KidLaLa> Flight of the Phoenix, the Naked Gun...
<GMonkey> Airport.
<KidLaLa> Airport of course.
<Volterra> I think my ISP is lagging today :(
-> [Volterra] PING
<KidLaLa> MW, was he on Police Squad too?
<Volterra> Three Aussies
<KidLaLa> I think he was.
<GMonkey> No.  I think Alan North played the role on TV.
<GMonkey> Yep, Leanne, you seem to be about 20 secs behind.
<BabyRain> Volt's lagging
<KidLaLa> Leanne, don't know any Aussie actors.  :(
<KidLaLa> Unless Nick Tate is an Aussie.
* BabyRain strokes Jake
<KidLaLa> The rat.
<BabyRain> I am not! :)
<KidLaLa> You are not what?
<BabyRain> A rat.
<KidLaLa> Didn't say you were.
<Volterra> Anthony Warlow, David Hobson (opera tenor - La 
Boheme) and John Bell (extraordinary Novocastrian and 
Shakespearean actor)
<KidLaLa> John Bell, my cousin!
<Volterra> no way :)
<KidLaLa> Actually I have several cousins named John Bell.
<KidLaLa> But all American.
<KidLaLa> BR, so has Jake calmed down and gotten more sociable?
<BabyRain> He'll let me pet him, but I'm still afraid he might 
bite.
<KidLaLa> Poor Jake.  It will take time I guess.
<BabyRain> It's been four months
<KidLaLa> Just have to increase the amount of his handling I 
reckon.
<Volterra> what's up with Jake?
<GMonkey> Well, you know how Jake had problems making 
commitments to women. :)
<BabyRain> He's not very sociable.
<KidLaLa> Didn't think he was a biter though, MW.  :)
<BabyRain> Some women go for that sort of thing.
<KidLaLa> Some women...
<BabyRain> I have to clean his cage today, so he'll have fun 
running around the tub. :)
<KidLaLa> Oooh, Jake in the tub.  Fun indeed.  :)
*** Tuppenc99 (~GC10001D@172-52-180.ipt.aol.com) has joined

<GMonkey> Gee, more fresh blood!
<KidLaLa> New York, New York...
<GMonkey> Hey, LaLa, I thought you didn't like us singing? :)
<KidLaLa> That wasn't singing MW.
-> [Tuppenc99] PING
-> [Volterra] PING
<Tuppenc99> Didn't mean to interupt what were talking about
* Volterra begins to wonder if there's such a thing as vampire 
monkeys :)
<GMonkey> What were we talking about?
<Tuppenc99> Ha! =)
<BabyRain> We weren't really talking about anything in 
particular
<BabyRain> Oh my God.  Doug's home
<KidLaLa> Okay, Michelle, I suppose you're another Jake fan, 
right?  :)
<GMonkey> We were talking about Karen's pet rat, Jake.
<KidLaLa> BR, why so upset?
<BabyRain> Doug got a haircut.  Handsome dude! :)
<GMonkey> Oh, oh!  I think we're gonna lose BR soon.
<KidLaLa> BR, which one?  :P
<BabyRain> brb
<GMonkey> Told ya.
<Volterra> LaLa: LOL!
<GMonkey> So, Michelle, have you visited the web site?
<Volterra> HubbyDan says "hi", btw
-> [Tuppenc99] PING
<Tuppenc99> I have to get back to it. I've finally got a new 
faster computer so I'll have more time to surf
<GMonkey> Hi, Hubby Dan.
<Tuppenc99> Hi Dan!
<KidLaLa> Leanne, is he saying hi to Michelle or everyone?
<GMonkey> Oh, just say hi to him anyway, LaLa. :)
<Volterra> Everyone
<Tuppenc99> What I saw of the site was way cool. Leanne was so 
wonderful and sent me that goosebumps.bmp
<KidLaLa> Sigh.  A Jake fan.
<BabyRain> back
<KidLaLa> front
<GMonkey> We will always outnumber you, LaLa.  MWAHAHAHAHAHA!!! 
:)
<BabyRain> side
<Volterra> ye gods :)
<KidLaLa> top
<BabyRain> Actually, Willie was kinda cute.
<GMonkey> But he lacked the Furry Chest. :)
<Tuppenc99> Willie?
<BabyRain> And he was blond. :(
<GMonkey> The Reverend, Michelle.
<Volterra> The Reverend German
<KidLaLa> He who gives blessing.
<KidLaLa> Leanne, actually he was a Dutch Reverend, a German 
spy.  :)
<Tuppenc99> very nice blessings I'm sure.=)
<KidLaLa> BR would probably know.  :)
<GMonkey> So, do you remember much about Gold Monkey, Michelle?
<KidLaLa> zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
<Tuppenc99> I'm having my memory refreshed thanks to Leanne
* GMonkey nudges LaLa to wake her up
<Tuppenc99> Loved it when it was originally on. Great to see it 
again
<GMonkey> Do you need copies of tapes, Michelle.
<GMonkey> I'd make some for you, but it will take a long while.
<Volterra> I'm making them from my copies for her
<GMonkey> In the meantime, the site is the next best thing to 
being there.
<GMonkey> Thanks, Leanne.
<KidLaLa> Since Michelle is another Jake fan, she's probably 
another 20-something too.  :(
<Tuppenc99> big thanks Leanne
<Tuppenc99> yeesh we admit ages here?
<BabyRain> Only in the most vague of terms
<KidLaLa> Just for the sake of conflict.
<KidLaLa> I'm the oldest so I've got nothing to lose.  :)
<Tuppenc99> *chuckle*
<Volterra> Sure, Michelle, it's the only way to keep track of 
the 40-somethings :)
<Volterra> :)
<Tuppenc99> lol =)
<KidLaLa> Thanks, Leanne.  (I'm telling Bill-you'll be sorry).  
:)
<Tuppenc99> Mom and Nicolle are off to see Secrets and Lies. 
and who's Bill>
<KidLaLa> Bill is a regular site visitor and Tuesday chatter.
<KidLaLa> My fellow 4-somethinger.
<KidLaLa> 4=40
<Tuppenc99> Mom said to say Hi to everyone and hopes we have 
fun. 4 lol!
<GMonkey> Hi, Mom! :)
<Volterra> Hi to your Mom!
<KidLaLa> Hmmm, Michelle and Nicolle.  Your dad's name isn't 
Louie, is it?  :)
<Tuppenc99> Lucky Leanne and Dan are going to see Ken today? 
I'm so jealous!
<BabyRain> zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
<Tuppenc99> *chuckl*
<KidLaLa> Is that bee after you now, BR?
* GMonkey smacks BabyRain to wake her up
* BabyRain slaps GMonkey around a bit with a large trout
<GMonkey> Watch it with the fish!!!
<Volterra> yup at 2:45 :)
<KidLaLa> It's get violent around here, Michelle, I hope Leanne 
warned you.
* BabyRain implores GMonkey to help her SAVE THE MONKEY!!!
<Tuppenc99> What is this the 3 stooges room> =)
* Volterra splashes some snow (can you splash snow?) at BR
<BabyRain> I hate snow.
* KidLaLa darts to the phone to call Moe.
<GMonkey> MOE, LARRY, CHEESE!  MOE, LARRY, CHEESE! :)
* Volterra is not overly familiar with the Stooges
<Tuppenc99> Last week I could have thrown snow. Now it supposed 
to get upto 70
<GMonkey> Oh dear, the chat's slowing down, ain't it.
<Tuppenc99> sorry 
<KidLaLa> BR, you need to implore the Big Kahuna.
<BabyRain> He's too scary.
<Tuppenc99> who?
<KidLaLa> Where abouts in NY do you be, Michelle?  If I may 
ask.
<Tuppenc99> Medford
<BabyRain> Don Bellisario.  He has the gold monkey and is using 
him as a coat hanger.
<KidLaLa> HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
<GMonkey> There's a Medford, NY?
* KidLaLa is laughing because she is in Medford too.
<Tuppenc99> Really?
<KidLaLa> Medfordites rule!!
<KidLaLa> Medford, Oregon, Michelle.
<Tuppenc99> Yes! Where is your Medford? Oh thanks!
<KidLaLa> Now that's really cool.
<GMonkey> And I grew up in Malden, Mass. which is next to 
Medford.
<KidLaLa> That's Meffa to you, missy.
<BabyRain> I've been to Bedford.  Does that count?
<GMonkey> Actually, I was conceived in Meffa. :)
<Tuppenc99> yeah.
<KidLaLa> Gee, thanks for sharing MW.  NOT!
<GMonkey> I just wanted to participate in the MedfordChat. :)
<BabyRain> Oh, well, if that counts, I've been to British 
columbia. :)
<KidLaLa> Okay.  Me been to BC too.
<Volterra> There was a Medford two suburbs over from my home 
suburb in Newcastle.
* Volterra is really struggling
<KidLaLa> Two Medford Monkiacs, who'd have thought.
<Tuppenc99> I've seen the Canadian side of Niagra Falls. That 
was my big out of country experience.=)
<Tuppenc99> Struggling with DAn??
<KidLaLa> Is Dan trying to tie you up again, Leanne?  :)
<KidLaLa> Niagra Falls is loud.  Wet too.  :P
<Tuppenc99> lol!
<Tuppenc99> REally Leanne what are you struggling with?
* KidLaLa plans to look up Medford, NY in her atlas after the 
chat.
<Volterra> no struggling for a medford connection
<Tuppenc99> Aha!
<KidLaLa> We know, kiddo, we were teasing you.
<Volterra> Dan is actually painting me red :)
<Tuppenc99> lol =)
<Volterra> No, really, that's what I'm struggling with. That 
and the lag :)
<GMonkey> Oooo, kinky. :)
<KidLaLa> Medford = Redford?
<KidLaLa> BR, wake up!!
<Volterra> on PhotoShop guys, not RL
<Tuppenc99> Leanne you still have that Medford tshirt don't 
you?
<Tuppenc99> that counts
<KidLaLa> Leanne has a Medford NY T-shirt?
<Tuppenc99> do you want one?
<GMonkey> I've got a Medford, MA high school letter.
<KidLaLa> We could exchange Medford t-shirts, that would be 
cool.
<Volterra> oh yeah, I do! :)
<Tuppenc99> that's cool!
<GMonkey> I was a pom pom girl for their football team when I 
was seven.
<KidLaLa> We probably get all kinds of double takes from 
people.
<Tuppenc99> you have Medford Oregon shirt? That would be great!
<GMonkey> And I was a darn cute pom pom girl too. :)
<Tuppenc99> At seven? I'm sure!
<KidLaLa> GOD, MW!!  First you admit to watching Dallas, and 
now a confession you were a pom pom girl?  Where will it all 
end!
<GMonkey> During the Thanksgiving Day game, the cheerleaders 
would be joined by little pom pom girls.
<KidLaLa> Michelle, I don't remember ever actually seeing a 
Medford t-shirt but I'll look around.
<Tuppenc99> that's so cute!
<GMonkey> My cousin was a cheerleader so I got to be a pom pom 
girl.
<GMonkey> All I did was stand around in a little uniform and 
beret waving my pom poms.
<Tuppenc99> We really do have Medford shirts and I'll be happy 
to pick you up one if you'd like. =)
<Tuppenc99> Sounds like fun!
<GMonkey> It was cold!!!! :)
<KidLaLa> Michelle, I would feel guilty if I couldn't send you 
one in return.
<KidLaLa> I could send you a Harry and David's t-shirt, they 
say Medford on them.
<Volterra> is there a picture of this? *grin*
<Tuppenc99> who are Harry and David?
<GMonkey> A picture of me or the Medford T-shirts, Leanne? :)
<KidLaLa> Harry and David mail order.  Famous for their fruit 
by mail.
* GMonkey now has to dig out that old picture of her in her pom 
pom outfit
<Tuppenc99> That's neat!
<KidLaLa> My sister got one of their shirts with a big Bartlett 
pear on it and wore it around and was disappointed no one 
told her they liked her pear (pair).
<Volterra> Pat: picture of you -- I'm lagging again
<KidLaLa> MW, if you do come to Orygun, NO POM POMS!!
<Tuppenc99> Yes I'd love to see it! Can you scan it for us to 
see?
<Tuppenc99> lol
<Tuppenc99> How is Dan using Photoshop while you are on irc?
<GMonkey> I'll look for it, Leanne.  And I'll get Karen or 
Lesley to scan it for me.
<KidLaLa> BR, are you still with us?
<BabyRain> yes
<KidLaLa> Is Doug still with you?  :)
<BabyRain> no
<KidLaLa> :(
<GMonkey> :(
<BabyRain> he has a headache
<Volterra> He's on his Pc, I'm on my Mac
<KidLaLa> I'm not surprised.  :)
<Volterra> :(
<KidLaLa> Is the cookie thief still with you?  :)
<BabyRain> She's barking at the neighbours
<GMonkey> No wonder Doug has a headache.
<GMonkey> Tell Pepsi to shut up.
<KidLaLa> Maybe they have cookies.
<KidLaLa> How did she get those cookies anyway?
<Tuppenc99> am I missing out on some great cookie escapade?
<KidLaLa> Karen's dog ate the cookies she made for us.
* Volterra cracks open a Coke Classix :)
<Volterra> -x+c
<BabyRain> They were cooling on the counter.  I shut the 
kitchen door but the otherhuman left it open
<KidLaLa> Chocolate chip!!
<Volterra> so, Michelle what would be your all-time favourite 
part of TotGM :)
<Tuppenc99> *chuckle*
<Tuppenc99> besides Jake in the Hot tub?
* KidLaLa groans.
<Tuppenc99> sorry=)
<GMonkey> Jake getting out of the hot tub. :)
<Tuppenc99> lol
<KidLaLa> Did you like Koji and Todo?
<Tuppenc99> For the most part
<BabyRain> Hai!
<KidLaLa> Hai!
<BabyRain> jinx
<KidLaLa> Deliberate.
<BabyRain> Mine too.
<Tuppenc99> Just watched Shanhaied
<GMonkey> Ah, Corky and the Mud Slut. :)
<BabyRain> brb gotta go to LGR
<Tuppenc99> lol
<Tuppenc99> So Koji had a stepbrother and sister do we know any 
more about her family?
<Tuppenc99> besides her being half Irish?
<Volterra> she was sweet (the mud girl)
<GMonkey> Her mother was a Japanese princess and her father was 
an Irish sailor, I believe.
<Volterra> her father's dead ... and her mother was Japanese 
and, I assume, dead.
<Volterra> wasn't the sister a half-sister as well?
<Tuppenc99> I think so
<GMonkey> On my Facts 'N Stuff page, Koji's background is 
mentioned in the show's bible.
<Tuppenc99> I'll check out your site tonight for sure. Just 
have to get my monitor fixed.
<GMonkey> Okey dokey.
<GMonkey> You shouldn't have problems with the facts page, 
though.  No pictures.
<Tuppenc99> I tried to load the supervga drivers and it screwed 
up my fonts.
<BabyRain> bk
<Tuppenc99> So every other letter is some kind of weird symbol
<GMonkey> Well, just think of it as playing Wheel of Fortune. 
:)
<Volterra> strange.
<Tuppenc99> =) Without Vanna thank goodness
<Volterra> Michelle, so does this mean you have your new 
computer?
<Tuppenc99> No. Well kind of . This is a loaner while mine is 
getting updated
<Tuppenc99> So yes this is a new computer and it's faster. It's 
just not mine to keep
<Tuppenc99> I'll get mine back in the next few weeks - 
hopefully
<BabyRain> LaLa, I'm going to send you a couple of files 
tomorrow
<Tuppenc99> IF I don't manage to mess it up too badly. =)
<Volterra> :)
<KidLaLa> BR, Fun files?
<Volterra> say, what has been on the TOTGM page the last week? 
I haven't visited it.
<BabyRain> Files for you to have fun with.
<KidLaLa> Michelle, you attended Emory in Atlanta?
<KidLaLa> Br, thanks!!
<Tuppenc99> Did I??
<KidLaLa> Did you?
<Tuppenc99> Not htat I know of . =) why?
<GMonkey> That was Katchoo, LaLa.
<GMonkey> Wrong fresh blood.
* BabyRain gets her bright light and prepares to be Good Cop
<KidLaLa> MW, thanks, I was distracted by someone here.
<GMonkey> Leanne, not much more on the BB except for Karen's 
Kwazy Komics.
<KidLaLa> Sorry, Michelle, me was confused.
<BabyRain> Those little things.
<GMonkey> And on BB #10, we have the latest installment of the 
fanfic.
<GMonkey> Basically, BR's taking over. :)
<Volterra> I'll go check afterhe chat.
<Volterra> Woo hoo!
<KidLaLa> MW, are you posting new Komics on weekends?
<GMonkey> Nope.
<GMonkey> KKK only runs Monday-Friday.
<KidLaLa> But you did start BB #10?
<GMonkey> Yep.  Today.
<BabyRain> I hater those initials.
<KidLaLa> BR, you said it.
<BabyRain> I propose we call it Karen's Kwazy Comincs.
<GMonkey> No Komics on BB #10 yet.  Just the fanfic.
<Volterra> We'll have to do something about that :)
<Volterra> you shoulda called it something else
<KidLaLa> New fanfic!!  Oh, boy!!
<BabyRain> My maiden name used to start with a K and I'm very, 
very touching about the number of K's associated with me.
<KidLaLa> Yes, you are touching all right.  :)
<BabyRain> I didn't call it that in the first place, Leanne.
<BabyRain> touchy
<KidLaLa> Or is that touched?  :P
<GMonkey> Don't worry, BR.  As long as you don't put a sheet 
over your head, you'll be fine.
<KidLaLa> We don't want to offend anyone though.

<GMonkey> Bye, Michelle.
<KidLaLa> Would you consider posting our pictures on the IRC 
log page?  I was thinking along the lines of a row of our 
pictures with our chat names underneath.
<GMonkey> Um, sure.  
<KidLaLa> Well, we could ask Leanne, BR and Bill what they 
think.
<GMonkey> You'll probably have to send them to me again, 
though.
<KidLaLa> And maybe some words like, your fellow Monkiacs or 
something.
<GMonkey> Whatever.  But everyone will have to give me their 
permission.
<KidLaLa> MW, I know.
<KidLaLa> Nice chat today.  Two more new bloods.  Whatever 
happened to our NC friend BTW?
<GMonkey> NC?
<KidLaLa> North Carolina, the tax guy.  Garry?
<GMonkey> Dunno.  Probably busy filing tax returns.
<KidLaLa> True, it is that time of year.
<KidLaLa> Okay, me let you escape now.
<KidLaLa> Gotta go check out the new installment.  :)
<GMonkey> I'll chat with you a bit on Monday.
<KidLaLa> Otay.  You have a 10am appt. right?
