Session Start: Tue Feb 25 22:30:36 1997 *** Now talking in #TOTGM *** GMonkey sets mode: +s *** GMonkey changes topic to "Tuesday's MonkeyChat" *** KidLaLa (Pohl@140.211.98.153) has joined #TOTGM I be here. I be here too. :) *** GMonkey sets mode: +o KidLaLa Thanks. Now, where's everyone else? Really. Hope nobody else had such a rotten day. That bad, eh? Horrible. MWAHAHAHAHAHA! *** BabyRain (babyrain@207.179.135.247) has joined #TOTGM Yeah, BR! Hiya, BR!! *** GMonkey sets mode: +o BabyRain So, BR, how was your day? I'd rather not talk about right now, if that's okay. Must have been worse than mine! :( Oh dear, another bad day. :( Well, I had some good news, I hope. Count your blessings, MW. No, not those blessings. :) Yes? I'd rather have those blessings? From whom? Just that potential job. Anyway, what should we talk about today? "The Sultan of Swat". I liked that one a lot. What did you think of it, BR? Big continuity error at the end though. Big continuity error thoughout the whole episode. The plot was pretty lame, and Gamble reminded me of one of my ex-boyfriends, but I enjoyed it anyway. It just didn't make much sense. Me liked it too. I still would have loved to see the original version. I loved the Goose joyride. :) MW, the original was so much better. Does BR want to take a joyride in the Goose? BR wants to take a joyride with Jake. uh-huh. :) Nope, BR wants Jake's hat. :) and his ... um ... She wants more than the hat... Jacket? :) Yeah. :) Steering column? Uh-huh. :) By the way, for a brief second it almost looked as if Willie had an FC. Was it just the lighting? Hmmm...it's possible I suppose. He could have a very light colored FC. Twas very pale, naturally. He's probably so blond it's hard to tell. I'll have to investigate more thoroughly. :) You do that, MW. :) Go for blessing. :) I'll do my best. :) I have a feeling it's gonna be a slow night. Got a brief message from Jeff today, but no word on any upcoming appearances. Nah. :) I don't think Tom's ever come to chat on a Tuesday, has he? Don't think so. Uh oh. Don't think so either. Uh oh what? So we have a tentative okay for Mr. Collins? My nose is bleeding!! What uh oh? yikes! Well get some kleenex. * KidLaLa grabs a kleenex. Why is it doing that? Pinch the bridge of your nose. * BabyRain has never ever had a nosebleed. I get them once in a while when the humidity is really low. * BabyRain opens up the M&Ms. Anyone want the red and blue ones? Me want the green ones!! ;) LaLa, I'll understand if you're occupied. That's it. LaLa, stuff a couple of M&Ms up your nose to make it stop bleeding. :) No. I love green! My favourites! You can have the orange, though. Eeewww!! Actually, it's stopping already. Me want green. Get your own, then. :) I'll take the browns. Nobody ever seems to want them. * BabyRain passes GMonkey all the brown ones. Thank you. :) * KidLaLa chomps mournfully on her pretzel. You are welcome. MW, Cleveland used to, but no more. :) * BabyRain passes LaLa the red and blue ones, one of which looks suspiciously green. Thank you. And getting back to your question, BR, yes, we've got SC, sort of. :) Although I really have enough red around my face right now. Oh, La. :( Hey, SC's as confirmed as any of us, really. For you log readers, I can now announce that, if he can, Stephen Collins will join us at the Gathering. What potential job? Granted, he probably won't be there long. Long enough for me to liberate the hat? :) That won't take long. As an executive assistant to a software company, Stream Int'l. Cool! Me thought it sounded awesome! Especially the pay!! MW, I think if he ever showed, he'd discover he wanted to stick around for a bit. I just don't want people to think that he's going to hang around all weekend like us. We really aren't all that scary. :) I don't expect any of the "celebs" to do that. Speak for yourself, BR! :) I told him that we'd probably have a light-hearted Q&A session on Sunday. I am. :) We could think of it as a mega IRC chat, but in person. :) "So, Caitlin, is he as good a kisser as he looks?" I'm still waiting for the answer to that question. :) Of course, once I get it, he gets equal time. :) But if he isn't she probably wouldn't say so under the circumstances. I bet he is. :) We'll be able to tell if she's just being polite. You hope he is! I bet he is. :) If he isn't, he sure puts on a good act. :) He is an actor. * BabyRain realizes she's being slightly juvenile, but she had no debts when she was twelve, so hey. :) But is he *that* good of an actor? :) He is a great kisser. Especially when he has a blue face and a white hat. Hard to believe I'm saying this, but he's a very good actor. * GMonkey slowly backs away from Babyrain. Maybe that was the Smuf. I'm so confused. :) Smurf Gee, that was a left-handed compliment, LaLa. :) I kinda like Smuf. He is an excellent actor. Especially when he's got material he believes in. What did you expect, MW? Sorry, Southpaw. :) What's wrong with lefties? Jake, Gandy and LaLa, the BoraGoran southpaws. Jake wasn't a lefty. Jake's a lefty. Jake's a lefty? Jake's not a lefty. He shot left-handed. oh my gawd Don't think so, but I'll check again. He can't be one of *those*. Okay, please do. I could swear he's a lefty. Remember Black Pearl? ;) Black Pearl -- big black thing with discrete red swastika. Remember, he had to pretend he was left-handed, but he stunk at it. BR, very good. *** Billprest (Billpresto@172-83-40.ipt.aol.com) has joined #totgm Hiya, Bill! Bill!!! *** GMonkey sets mode: +o Billprest Where have you been all my life? Hollow, cheeks! :) He was going to fence and did that lame line about having to fight left-handed and the German tells him we all know you are. Hiya, Bill. Bill, is Jake a lefty or a righty? Besides, LaLa, he pitched right-handed in The Sultan of Swat. Jake's righthanded. I think he's a lefty. I'll ask him. Cool - we're talkin' Monkey stuff, instead of soda pop & guys. You do that. But I know that SC is right-handed. Plays the guitar right-handed. Many left-handers do. Bill, thank you for solving my comic prob. I bet he's ambidextrous. BR, did you notice I copyrighted the name? I'd give my right arm to be ambidextrous. I did. :) So, it's CCC (c). :) Boo, LaLa! :) Hee hee hee. Actually I AM ambidextrous. Karen, what do you mean, 'comic prob?' Really? My left hand is about useless. How about double jointed? :) For renaming my feature. Thank you. The name, Bill. Kudos to Bill. Although I still like Karen's Funny. :) Oh, that. I liked that one, too. :) I don't think you had to worry about the KKK connection. What if Omupwah checked in? I'm just touchy about it. My maiden name started with a K and it's just something that's always really bugged me. He'd kick their asses. :) Whose, MW? The KKK's. :) He is a king after all. As long as he didn't kick ours for the connection. Oh, the big cool dude. He is cool, eh? Yeah. :) I love the look Jake gives him when they first meet. Up and up and... To infinity and beyond! :) It was the shock of something Gandy saying having some truth behind it. I still think the joyride scene in "Sultan of Swat" is one of my favourite TOTGM scenes. :) The others being the hot tub scenes? That was a good scene. The guy playing Gamble couldn't really act, though. I humbly disagree. I just thought he was wrong for the part. Oh, good. An actual debate. :) Okay. He couldn't act the part. I humbly disagree with MW too. Happy, BR? :) Bill ? The character was originally written as a rough and tumble rogue. But he ended up more like Lou Costello. Bill's lagging Poor Bill. Sigh. What else is new. _(%^#%_ AOL! Has anyone got any cotton candy? Recently? Er, not on me. *** Billprest has quit IRC (Ping timeout) I'm craving cotton candy really bad. * KidLaLa plays the Taps .wav file. Now that's no surprise about Bill. Great. I killed Bill. :( BILLKILLER!!! I noticed in the grocery store the other day it was $1.79. Too much. * BabyRain hangs her heead in shame and waits for the noose. BR, stop that!! Moose, I meant. I'm waiting for the moose. :) Wait a minute. BR, food cravings, mood swings... Uh oh... brb Now does blue mean positive or negative? * KidLaLa and MW exchange a significant look about BR. Don't look at me, Tal had a vasectomy. You're forgetting something significant, girls. Not if you don't share the info with us! :) What? Mr. Cranky? Ya GOTTA HAVE SEX. :) Happy Valentine's Day! :) Hahaha. :) Yeah, we heard about Valentine's Day. It was a very nice card. :) You do realize that the timing could work out. At least I think so. Don't know all the details. Not that I want to know all the details. What timing? I'm not getting preggers this soon. I want to go to the gathering. I can see BR sitting down and not be able to get up if and when SC walked into the room. I'd just drop my hanky. :) There you go. So he'd have to sit down next to her. :) Faye would probably kick it away. A-ha! That's your plan, isn't it? Or step on it. :) Tho this be madness, ythere is method in it. :) And I grab the hat while he's getting the hanky. See? :) *** Billprest (Billpresto@172-83-40.ipt.aol.com) has joined #totgm Welcome back, Bill. *** BabyRain sets mode: +o Billprest He wouldn't dare try to snatch the hat away from a pregnant woman. Lemme try the Salt Lake City folks. The Mormons? The Osmonds? What do they have to do with the show? :) I thought those were the Amish. BR, which were you, a little bit country or a little bit rock 'n roll? Glad you be back, Bill. Neither. I wanted my own ice rink. :) * KidLaLa is starting to twitch nervously. Don't worry, LaLa, we won't sing. Stop being so twitchy, LaLa. Well, she is American. It's MW's fault. Oh dear, don't tell me LaLa doesn't get it? Wait a second. I can't be twitchy, can I? Sorry, BR. :) brb But how are you at carving up a carp? :) brb Where's everybody going?!! Bill, are you still there? -> [Billprest] PING Patricia, which were you - country or rock & roll? I'm still here, kinda. You're really lagging there, Bill. -> [Billprest] PING Hey, you're down to 9 seconds. Not bad. -> [Billprest] PING Hey! Where is everyone?! back Well that's one. BR's stil gone? Yep. And Bill's lagging. Bill, you laggert. Bill's lagging or dying, MW? Just lagging. Really lagging. Poor guy. Hey, what was the rock & roll or country question? Donny and Marie. I actually had Donny & Marie's greatest hits album. I don't think I'm lagging anymore. Confession is good for the soul. I believe it was a present from some adult relative. Sure, MW. I had nothing to do with it. I prefered K-Tel albums. Um hum, right. :) I did. I've got some K-Tel albums. How old? Gosh, 70s maybe? I really don't know. Cool! Believe it or not, those suckers are in demand. Marie had a big hit with "Paper Roses." Nostalgia, don'tcha know. Which ones, MW? Any specifics? And just curious - how did we get on Donny & Marie? MW, of course. No, just old 70s albums are hot. Salt Lake City, Bill. Even though I think they were from Ogden. MW, they were. Ewww! Scary how we both knew that, huh? :) Hmmm, how about my 60s albums? Think they might be in demand? Okay, okay. What was the last album everybody got? Could be. Vinyl is hot. Hall and Oates. Actually, Darryl Hall, Sacred Songs. You mean vinyl, Bill? I don't remember. Probably Journey's Frontiers album. I have several hundred albums, wish I had a turntable. :( What happened to BR? Don't know. What happened to space food sticks? Huh? I loved those things. What are those? Is this stuff that I'm too young to remember? Probably. Good stuff. Maybe they'll bring it back. They brought back Crispy Critters after all. Anything's possible. And Black Jack gum. -> [Billprest] PING I feel like I'm typing for my own benefit here tonight. Have I been kicked again? You're still here, but far behind, Bill. Poor Bill is really lagging. What's his ping time, MW? Is he on the same server as us? Still waiting for it. Girls, I am like totally lost here. If you're calling us girls, yes you are. I think he's on another server. He's on St. Louis. Why doesn't he get on with us!! Dunno. It would most likely solve the lag problem. Probably. And where the heck is BR!! In Canada goofing around! Vinyl, cassette, CD, anykind. Well, she's paying for this, you'd think she'd be here. Yikes, Bill must be minutes behind!! AGES!! Back in 1938! :) Say hi to Jake and Corky for us, Bill. :) And Jack, and Sarah, and Louie, and Gushie. Yeah, them too. :) How about Willie, Koji and Todo? Say, whatever happened to Les anyway? He never did show up on the Board. Yeah, them too. Dunno. I'll e-mail him tomorrow. I'll ask him about the Gathering. Great!! Need to hear from the man. I never did hear anything from Gandy or Koji. :( Sorry. :( *** Billprest has quit IRC (voyager.ca.us.dal.net toronto.on.ca.dal.net) Well, they may not pick up their mail regularly. And if they aren't on line... Poor Bill. Poor Bill. We need to e-mail him step by step instructions to add this server as a random Dalnet server. It works great for me. I am beginning to worry about BR though. Well, I say, if nobody else joins this room in 15 minutes, we'll close the chat. Maybe Doug came home. She would have popped in to say something. This isn't like her. Maybe she's engrossed in conversation with him. Or she's still upset at the letter she got. I still think she'd jot down a line or two. Even if she's upset, she's highly aware of her online time. Hope it wasn't a burglar. I doubt it. Or one of the animals in trouble. Pepsi ate some more cookies. That dog needs training. So, now what do we do? Tell stories? What kind of stories? Hmmm. Silly stories, or perhaps scary stories. You start. Hey, I saw a matchbook cover which read "The Golden Monkey Restaurant" This is true. Where? In my Natural History magazine. It's in Kentucky I think. Oh. I thought it could be somewhere where we could go for dinner at the Gathering. *** bill (Billpresto@172-83-40.ipt.aol.com) has joined #totgm Must be a Chinese food place. Hey, Bill! *** GMonkey sets mode: +o bill That would have been cool if so. Yo, Bill, why aren't you joining us on the same server, son? -> [bill] PING You have to manually name it. Does he know that? I'm telling him that now. If he's there. Don't think he is. I can e-mail him for next time with explicit step by step instructions. *** bill has quit IRC (Killed (caris.ca.us.dal.net (trapdoor.ca.us.dal.net <- services.dal.net[208.1.222.222]))) They killed him! Dang it! They keep hunting him down! Must be a bounty out on him. :) You know, as many places to eat and drink as there are in the greater L.A. area, maybe we could find a Gold Monkey Bar! Every city seems to have a Monkey Bar. But a Gold Monkey Bar? I know of one in Boston and one in Cranston, RI. None around here. But then no big towns around here. No, GM Bar, but then it was just the Monkey Bar on the show. True. It'd be nice to find a GM Bar though. We'll search for one. I can check with directory assistance. Cool! Just one call per area code should do it. I say we give folks five more minutes, then amscray. This is definitely not like BR!! No, it's not. She must have a good reason. I just hope it's not a "bad" reason. Hey, maybe she got a rad e-mail from TG saying he was coming to visit her and she's all freaked out. How's that for a silly story! Maybe he sent her a ticket to LA. Where's ours? :) Yeah! Where's ours?! :) We want our tickets!! First Class!! Obviously first class!! We be classy women! Well, that goes without saying. :) Still no word about my interview. Me starting to worry. :( Don't or I'll start worrying about my interview. Although a co-worker said she knew at least one of the other three applicants and said they were NOT qualified for the job. I bet we both hear something tomorrow. So that narrows it down to three. Dennis is probably super busy. MW, I'd like to think so. I cannot go on like this. Neither can I. You can a lot better than me. With my luck, they'll call while I'm at my job interview tomorrow morning. Tomorrow morning being the ? one? Yeah, the one I probably wouldn't take if they offered it. Well, I've got the voodoo stuff going full blast. And I've got the positive thoughtwaves running full tilt. And it's quarter past the hour and nobody else is here. -> [BabyRain] PING BTW, I jumped back to the stream site for a minute but didn't see any clues as to how to get to the benefits info. Click on About Stream at the bottom of the main page. Okay, thanks. Any idea (approximately) how long its been since BR left? A long time. Probably 45 minutes. That is too weird. Somebody must have come to the door. And we can't even call to find out what's going on! Or something like that. I know. I hate that. Me too. Kinda like your house. :) Well, you could always call the Dadster's number. Why don't you e-mail that to me sometime, just so's I'll have it. Okey dokey. Thankee. So should we pack it in. I reckon. Very concerned about BR though. I'll e-mail her telling her what happened. You don't by chance have Doug's work number? She has to come back to her PC sooner or later. No, sorr. Sorry. We should have that, just in case. Okay. I'll send her an email now. Sounds good. If Meffa open on Saturday? Don't know, haven't checked yet. Trevor said he wasn't working for the next two weeks though. Poor LaLa. It will be Jennifer if it is open. That's okay, I'm going to be lending him a couple of books. Well, let me know as soon as you find out. So we'll have to keep in touch. Sneaky LaLa. :) Hang on one sec and I can let you know. Hanging on. Wow, guess who answered the phone? The SM!! :) Yes!! I forgot he works during the week too! What did he say? Anyway, they'll be open Saturday from 8am to 3pm. YIPPEE!!! He has a nice voice. Sexy? Not so much sexy as warm and full of feeling. A nice voice, inspiring warm feelings. Ah. I MUST pay my gas Saturday though. What time? It was due today, but they're giving me an extension. Anytime I guess, but I'll go first cause it We won't start until 10 your time. (con't) is way up in north Meffa. Yes, but if I don't get to the campus before 8 there won't be any parking spaces for blocks. That's fine. You should have plenty of time. Well, a little walking won't hurt you. So I hit Fred's a 7, get the money and money order, then book it to WP, and back to the Meffa campus. Whatever works for you. Hang on, just got an e-mail you'll want to hear about. Okay. I e-mailed a dude from a newsgroup who said he and his wife were going to LA in September... Yes. They were looking for info about tv shows which gave set tours. Ah. He said he'd share any info he found with me (us). Sounds cool. Hey, maybe SC could give us a tour of the 7th Heaven set. His answer said, "In the words of...well, my words...sure." Now there's an idea. Especially if Harvey was directing at the time. We'd probably have to do that on a weekday though. *** Billprest (Billpresto@172-87-146.ipt.aol.com) has joined #totgm I think they shoot on Saturdays. Cool. Bill? Yes, Bill!! Is that really you? Hello. *** KidLaLa sets mode: +o Billprest We were just about to leave. Bill, you're here!! Dalnet is goofy tonight. What have I missed? Nothing. And we're goofy every night. BR has never returned!! She's MIC. Karen's gone, eh? -> [Billprest] PING Sigh, yes! Lesley, s'happenin' in Oregon. Bill, did you get the instructions to get on the same server as us? Bill, 65 yesterday, beautiful. Saw you had record low temps. Sorry. No I didn't. I'm on Phoenix, I think. Thanks for the condolences. Patricia, what's going on in the Boston area? I'll send you exact step by step instructions for next time. It should solve most, if not all, of the problems you've been having. Nothing much. Cool but okay. Pat's always cool. A thousand thank yous, Lesley. We need our Bill. Bill, you watch Star Trek? I've never been much of a Trekkie. Okay. I was reading the log from Saturday, and you all got going on some 30s and 40s history, and then the subject changed. I would that it hadn't. Sorry. We be flighty. Yeah, the 30s and 40s were some interesting times. Lesley, didn't you study history at LSU? Criminal Justice. History is just a private passion of mine. My mom was borned & raised in N'Awlins. And she taught you the proper pronounciation. Good!! G'wan with y'self. I hate when people say New Orleens. Hey. The Dadster's home. I've got to talk to him, so I should probably go. Sorry. Les - what's your favorite history period. MW, you weaselette. I'll leave you two alone. Bill, I love them all actually. Who will reign as Monkey queen? MW. Thanks, sorry and bye bye. I hereby name LaLa, Monkey Princess. Bya Patricia. All hail Queen Lesley. Bye dudes. Talk to ya later. * KidLaLa struts around with a coconut shell on her head. Bye Bye. I said PRINCESS!
