*** Now talking in #TOTGM
*** GMonkey sets mode: +s
*** GMonkey changes topic to "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!"
*** KidLaLa (Pohl@103Net-73.sosc.edu) has joined #TOTGM
<KidLaLa> There you are!!
<GMonkey> I be here!
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o KidLaLa
<KidLaLa> Me too!  Did you get my e-mail?
<GMonkey> Just reading your email.
<KidLaLa> Otay.
<GMonkey> Still reading. :)
* KidLaLa hums the Jeopardy theme to herself.
<GMonkey> Okay.  Finished.
<KidLaLa> Ta Da.
<GMonkey> So, you're pulling an Al Haig, eh? :)
<KidLaLa> That's me.
<GMonkey> You are in control there!
<KidLaLa> Actually, Trevor just arrived.  So I am second string 
again.
<GMonkey> So's Al. :)
<KidLaLa> Hee hee.
<KidLaLa> Did the icy rain go away?
<GMonkey> All gone!
<KidLaLa> Yay!!
<GMonkey> It's very sunny now, but windy.
<KidLaLa> Do you have to work on Monday?
<GMonkey> I had to slow down to 70 on the highway. :)
<KidLaLa> I don't wanna hear about you speeding.
<GMonkey> I'm going to an employment agency at 10 on Monday.
<GMonkey> They do both temp and permanent placement.
<GMonkey> And they're closer to me so I'd probably get work in 
the area.
<KidLaLa> Tell 'em you want lots o' money and fun work with a 
lot of SMs.
<GMonkey> Okeydokey. :)
<KidLaLa> Work close to home is good.
<GMonkey> I hate the whole driving up towards Boston during 
rush hour thing.
<KidLaLa> Hmmm, wonder if Trev wants to be my roomie?
<GMonkey> Ask him. :)
<KidLaLa> MW, heavy traffic no good!!
<KidLaLa> Actually, I told Tamara she could have dibs on him, 
since she's interested.
<GMonkey> Actually, I'll have the entire south shore of Mass. 
covered with my two temp agencies and this new one.
<GMonkey> Plus, there's always tomorrow's Boston Sunday Globe.
<KidLaLa> Wowsers!!  That's a lot of area.  How bout a job at 
the shore?
<KidLaLa> And Medford's Sunday Mail Tribune.
<GMonkey> Too long to get there.
<GMonkey> You're still hoping I'll come out there so you can 
stay in your house, aren't you?
<KidLaLa> I've pretty much concluded I'll be moving no matter 
what.
<GMonkey> Gonna get something smaller?
<KidLaLa> I really need to move closer to work and now's 
appears to be the time.
<KidLaLa> Well, right now I've got over 2,000 sq. ft.  Too big 
really for one person.
<GMonkey> Well, maybe you can get someplace cheaper, save a bit 
o' cash and buy yourself a PC.
<KidLaLa> The first two parts of your statement are already 
planned, but first I have to get the bills caught up and 
then put some $$$ aside for Tooter.
<GMonkey> Oh, okay.
<KidLaLa> Then a PC!!
<GMonkey> PC!  PC!  PC! :)
<GMonkey> Hey, where's Babyrain?
<KidLaLa> 486s should be dirt cheap any time now.
<KidLaLa> Yeah, where is she?  I e-mailed her!!
<KidLaLa> BTW, love the chat name.
<GMonkey> I emailed her too!  I know she didn't forget.  I 
reminded her of it this morning.
<GMonkey> Thanks. :)
<KidLaLa> Maybe she's snoozing.
<KidLaLa> Or off bouncing somewhere.  :)
<GMonkey> I think today's topic should be, "How did the web 
site change your life?" :)
<GMonkey> Whatcha think?
<KidLaLa> You may be disappointed with the answers.  :)
<GMonkey> I know, but what the heck. :)
<KidLaLa> Well, if we can someone here to ask....
<GMonkey> You could start us off.
<KidLaLa> Hey, if you answer the question first....
<KidLaLa> It appears to have changed your life the very most.
<GMonkey> I think my answer's obvious!
<KidLaLa> Not to me.  :)
<GMonkey> I have no life now, other than that of MONKEY WOMAN! 
:)
<KidLaLa> Hi, Leanne!!
<KidLaLa> Getting ahead of myself here.
<GMonkey> Getting ahead of ourself, aren't we? :)
<GMonkey> JINX!
*** Volterra (danswler@sdts2-48.znet.com) has joined #totgm
<GMonkey> Hi, Leanne!! 
<KidLaLa> Well, didn't take me long to get back into the 
flow...
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o Volterra
<Volterra> hi girls! Happy Anniversary Patricia!
<KidLaLa> Hiya, Leanne!!
<GMonkey> Thanks.
<KidLaLa> Aw, her first anniversary...
* GMonkey blushes at all this.
<KidLaLa> Everyone got their party hats on?
* KidLaLa straightens her purple and silver hat.
<GMonkey> I always wear my party hat. :)
* Volterra actually turned up early to say she has to go help 
HubbyDan wash and wax the car
<GMonkey> And speaking of hats, I'm gonna try and track down 
Karen.
<GMonkey> Nooooooo!!!
<KidLaLa> MW, please do.  Leanne, slave labor!!  Revolt against 
the masters!!
<GMonkey> Only one chat a month and you're blowing it off to 
wax a car?!
<KidLaLa> Where are Leanne's priorities?  :)
* KidLaLa wonders if she should boo and hiss Dan.
<GMonkey> Well, how big's this car, Leanne?
<GMonkey> I mean, if it's a compact, then it shouldn't take 
long. :)
<Volterra> it's a Mazda miata ... you'll be here until 12 
right?
<GMonkey> Hope so.
<Volterra> it shouldn't take more than an hour at most.
<GMonkey> Well, okay.  We'll let you go. :(
<GMonkey> And I'll try to track down the missing Babyrain.
<Volterra> Dan has a hole in his bucket, dear Eliza :)
<GMonkey> Oh dear.  Not good.
<KidLaLa> Sorry, ran off for a sec.  Glad the car situation 
won't take long.
<GMonkey> Does that mean he'll have to go out and buy a bucket, 
then force you to wash the car?
<KidLaLa> Wish you guys could be here right now.
<GMonkey> Still no sign of the missing Canuck. :(
<Volterra> why LaLa, what's happening
<Volterra> well, another bucket has been found, I'll be back 
soon ...
<GMonkey> Talk to ya later, Volterra!
* Volterra will mark herself away, although I'll probably lose 
the connection
<Volterra> nah, better sign off completely
<Volterra> be back as soon as I can!
*** Volterra has quit IRC (Leaving)
<GMonkey> And then there were two.
<KidLaLa> The computer class instructor was introducing his 
class to Trevor who had to hide under the counter to avoid 
them.
<KidLaLa> Sorry, it's kinda silly here right now.
<GMonkey> Now, why would he do that?
<GMonkey> Gee, LaLa somewhere where it's silly.  How unusual. 
:)
<KidLaLa> He was trying to talk seriously to someone on the 
phone and had to hide to keep from laughing.
<GMonkey> Ah.
<KidLaLa> Wish I'd had camera!!
<GMonkey> More people better show up or I'll be miffed!
<KidLaLa> Me too!!  Very surprised BR isn't here.
<GMonkey> I have no idea where she is.
<GMonkey> Maybe her ISP died.
<KidLaLa> Trevor does not know about TOTGM.
<GMonkey> How old is he again?
<GMonkey> And then there was one. :(
<KidLaLa> 31.
<KidLaLa> I'm sorry, but you must understand that he's cuter 
than you.
<GMonkey> And he doesn't know about TOTGM?!
<GMonkey> Yeah, but can he talk the Monkey? :)
<KidLaLa> I'm trying to explain to him about it.
<GMonkey> Make him check out the web site.
<KidLaLa> He's amazed that people are still into a one-year 
show that was 15 years ago.
<GMonkey> Obviously, he never watched it.
<KidLaLa> Okay.  He's asking me about it, so I will give him 
the address.
*** BabyRain (babyrain@stjhts17c30.nbnet.nb.ca) has joined 
#TOTGM
<KidLaLa> There you are!!
<GMonkey> ABOUT TIME, GIRL!!!
<BabyRain> Happy Anniversary!!!!
<KidLaLa> WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!!
*** GMonkey sets mode: +o BabyRain
<BabyRain> brb going to kitchen
<GMonkey> Sure, she pops in and then runs off again!!!
<KidLaLa> I'm still here.
<GMonkey> So am I.
<GMonkey> Maybe I should run down to the kitchen and get Mr. 
Cookie Face.
<BabyRain> Hey, I could've gone to the kitchen first, and let 
you continue to think I was MIA. :)
<KidLaLa> Get Mr. Cookie Face, Trevor is checking out the web 
site.
<KidLaLa> So where were you BR?
<GMonkey> So, where were you BR?
<GMonkey> JINX!!!
<BabyRain> Web sites ... I've been working on one all morning.  
Image maps and I don't get along, it seems. :)
<KidLaLa> But a comma of difference.
<BabyRain> Comma chameleon.
<KidLaLa> Komma - Jeff role on BSG
<GMonkey> You come and go.  You come and go-o-o-o. :)
<KidLaLa> NO SINGING!!
<GMonkey> Wow!  I didn't think you'd get that, LaLa. :)
<BabyRain> What's BSG?
<KidLaLa> Battlestar Galactica.
<GMonkey> I'm gonna get Mr. Cookie Face now.  BRB
<KidLaLa> Otay.
<KidLaLa> I figured out how to change the pix sizes on my web 
page, BR.
<GMonkey> back
<KidLaLa> Good.
<GMonkey> But I'm one handed.
<GMonkey> Still eating MR. CF. :)
<GMonkey> BR, stop playing with the web site and play with us 
for a while.
<KidLaLa> BR is being naughty.
<BabyRain> No I'm not.  I'm just trying not to sing.
<BabyRain> I have so many songs in my heart.
<KidLaLa> Then talk, don't sing.
<BabyRain> I was born to SING!
<GMonkey> Then type instead.
<KidLaLa> Type.
<GMonkey> LaLa, stop thinking like me. :)
<BabyRain> Jeff was on BSG?
-> [BabyRain] PING
<BabyRain> My ping is fine.
<BabyRain> I'm just starting a conversation. :)
<GMonkey> A litlle slow though. :)
<GMonkey> And yes, Jeff had a small, reoccuring role on BSG.
<GMonkey> He was a fighter pilot. :)
<BabyRain> Cool. :)
<GMonkey> Thought you'd like that.
<BabyRain> Okay.  How m,any TOTGM eps did Corky fly the Goose 
in?
<GMonkey> LaLa, have you converted Trevor to Monkeyism yet?
<BabyRain> All hail Monkey.
<GMonkey> Let's see...
<GMonkey> Black Pearl.
<GMonkey> Well, in Legends Are Forever he sorta moved it around 
the lagoon.
<GMonkey> I'm going through all the episodes in order so bear 
with me. :)
<GMonkey> Um, he takes the Goose off in The Lady and the Tiger.
<GMonkey> He probably did some flying in The Late Sarah White, 
but we didn't see it.
<GMonkey> High Stakes Lady.
<GMonkey> And Mourning Becomes Matuka.
<GMonkey> The end. :)
<BabyRain> Ta-da. :)
<BabyRain> Lesley, why are you so quiet today?
<GMonkey> Thank you, thank you. :)
<GMonkey> She's showing her Studmuffin, Trevor, the one year 
old web site. :)
<BabyRain> Oh. :)
<GMonkey> So BR, would you like to answer today's chat 
question?
<BabyRain> What is today's question?
<GMonkey> How has the web site changed your life?
<KidLaLa> Sorry, LaLa was showing some of the pix from the site 
to Trevor.
<GMonkey> So what did he think?
<BabyRain> How has the web site changed my life?  Wow.  That's 
a loaded question.
<GMonkey> I know.  That's why I asked it. :)
<KidLaLa> Still a bit amazed he never saw it.
<GMonkey> MEN!!
<KidLaLa> BR, a very loaded question.
<KidLaLa> MW...now, now.
<GMonkey> Okay.  STUDMUFFINS!! :)
<KidLaLa> There you go!!
<KidLaLa> But back to BR...
<BabyRain> I've made some **tremendous** friends.  I've learned 
a great deal.  I've had a tonne of fun. (more coming)  
<BabyRain> I've learned how to put words on pictures.  I've 
been able to revisit Boragora, something I never thought 
possible.  I have a complete set of TOTGM episodes, 
something whi I never even imagined as I sat in the midst of 
my teenage cancellation angst.
<BabyRain> And I got email from Jeff and SC. :)
<GMonkey> Ain't tecnology grand?!
<KidLaLa> And did you ever imagine you'd be chatting with Jeff 
(and Tom and to a lesser degree SC)?
<KidLaLa> Slow LaLa.
<BabyRain> But the best part is meeting so many great people.  
You two are the best. :)
<BabyRain> ((hug))
<GMonkey> Aw, gee. 
* KidLaLa looks around to figure out who BR is referring to.
* GMonkey hugs one and all.
* KidLaLa hopes MW doesn't have cooties.
<GMonkey> Monkey Women are always clean and cootie-free. :)
<KidLaLa> Well, okay then.
<BabyRain> No, LaLa, it never occurred to me that I'd be 
chatting with those people.  Heck, I wasn't even sure they 
really existed. :)
<KidLaLa> But now you do.
<KidLaLa> Especially you know who.  (Snicker)
<GMonkey> And they're really nice.
<KidLaLa> Yes they are super nice.
<BabyRain> Absolutely.  I've had conversations I never would 
have thought possible.
<GMonkey> I never expected anyone from the show to contact me.
<BabyRain> I never expected to find a web site.
<KidLaLa> Me either.  Glad I did though.
<BabyRain> I looked last February.  Did I tell you that?
<GMonkey> Glad I started it. :)
<KidLaLa> Do you have your birthday pic posted MW?
<GMonkey> I think so, BR.
<KidLaLa> And are you using your mouse pad?
<GMonkey> What birthday pic?
<BabyRain> Mouse pad?
<KidLaLa> The autographed pic!!
<GMonkey> I'm always using my mouse pad.
<BabyRain> Mouse pad??
<KidLaLa> A TOTGM mouse pad.
<GMonkey> Oh, that pic.  Not posted to the site, but stuck on 
my wall right above my desk.
<BabyRain> Huh???
<KidLaLa> Good.
<GMonkey> LaLa's birthday present to me.
<KidLaLa> BR, I had a TOTGM mouse pad made for MW last year.
<BabyRain> Cool.  What's it look like?
<KidLaLa> The picture it's made from is on the site.
<GMonkey> BR, maybe when I come to visit you, I'll bring the 
birthday pic so you can drool over it and scan it. :)
<BabyRain> Okeydokey. :)
<KidLaLa> Don't know how it's labeled though.  Louie, Jake, 
Sarah and Corky at the bar.
<GMonkey> It's labeled "Cast publicity photo".  It's the last 
one in the first list.
<KidLaLa> Last one in the first list.  Okay!
<BabyRain> Ah.
<KidLaLa> I'll send you one as soon as I win the lottery BR.
<KidLaLa> Sooner, if I can afford it.
<BabyRain> Okay, LaLa. :)
<BabyRain> But I was just thinking I could probably make my 
own.
<KidLaLa> You will become part of a very elite group.
<BabyRain> I already am.:)
<BabyRain> I hope. :)
<KidLaLa> Well, I know, but I meant that MW, SC, JM, and I own 
the only four in existence.
<GMonkey> The few, the proud, the Monkiacs. :)
<KidLaLa> Great motto, MW!!
<GMonkey> You don't think the Marines will get upset, do you? 
:)
* BabyRain feels a little left out, but she'll survive.
<KidLaLa> Let 'em.
<BabyRain> SC has one?
<KidLaLa> BR, I didn't know you when I had them made.
<GMonkey> Well, LaLa did this before you met us.
<BabyRain> That's okay.
<KidLaLa> Yes, I sent Steve and Jeff each one.
<BabyRain> WAAAAAHHHH!
<KidLaLa> I will send you one as soon as I can dig up the 
dough.  Please don't hold your breath.
* BabyRain sobs uncontrollably, blubbering all over her desk.  
*Now* she knows why he won't answer her email.
<KidLaLa> ??????
<BabyRain> He won't answer my email because I'm not part of the 
in-group. (sniff)
<KidLaLa> Oh, please.
<BabyRain> Send me a pic of the mouse pad, I'll make my own, 
and no one will be the wiser.  And then he'll write me 
email. :)
<KidLaLa> Like I'm part of his in-group.  It is to laugh.  :)
<GMonkey> Well, you did get to party at his house, LaLa. :)
<BabyRain> ??!!
<KidLaLa> True, but they made me help clean up afterwards.
<BabyRain> ???!!!
<KidLaLa> Although it was fun meeting Art Carney and Melissa 
Gilbert.
<GMonkey> These things could only happen in LaLa-Land. :)
<KidLaLa> True, only in LaLa Land.
<BabyRain> Could someone please tell the unenlightened one what 
the heck we're talking about?
* KidLaLa is laughing to hard to explain.
<GMonkey> This *is* fun, ain't it? :)
<KidLaLa> Mean, though.
<GMonkey> Okay, tell her then, LL.
<KidLaLa> Shouldn't be mean to our favorite BR.
* BabyRain wipes away her tears.
<KidLaLa> It was a dream I had BR.
<BabyRain> Oh.
<KidLaLa> And which I made the mistake of sharing with MW.  :)
<BabyRain> My dream was better. :)
<GMonkey> You're Jake dream, BR?
<KidLaLa> I don't have *those* kind of dreams!!
<BabyRain> SSSH! (blush) I haven't lived down the Smurf thing 
yet. :)
<GMonkey> Not about SC anyway. :)
<KidLaLa> Do you want to?  :P
<KidLaLa> How long since anyone's talked to Tom?
<GMonkey> I'm talking about the Jake the detective one, BR? :)
<KidLaLa> Or Jeff or SC?
<GMonkey> A while for me.
<BabyRain> THE $**#@ sidewalk plough just piled a tonne of 
slush in Doug's parking spot!
<GMonkey> Been busy.
<KidLaLa> Did MW ever e-mail Les J. like she said she would?
<GMonkey> Eeek!  Nope.  Sorry.
<KidLaLa> Bad plow!!
<KidLaLa> Bad MW!!
<GMonkey> I think that happened around the time of the upheaval 
and I forgot.
<KidLaLa> Wonder how he's doing?
<GMonkey> Sorry. :(
<BabyRain> It was my only way to get to the street. :(
<KidLaLa> Like you forgot to make my Corky .wav files?  :)
<GMonkey> Well, that too. :)
* BabyRain will be right back.
<KidLaLa> Snow tunneling, coming right up.
<GMonkey> Oh oh!  That plow driver better watch out.  He's got 
BR mad! :)
<KidLaLa> A mad Viking!  Watch out.
<KidLaLa> And how's about a Corky video capture?
<GMonkey> All right.  All right.  I'll do them tonight.
<KidLaLa> Did you find Psi Factor yet?  I would love a video 
capture from that!!
* KidLaLa starts panting uncontrollably.
<GMonkey> They'll be waiting for you when you come in on 
Monday.
* KidLaLa is so delighted that she has a nice friend like MW.
<GMonkey> Try to control yourself, LaLa. :)
<GMonkey> And I still haven't found Psi Factor yet.
<KidLaLa> Bummer.  Check the 9pm-11pm range.
<GMonkey> Hold on.  Let me do a search on TV Guide online.
<KidLaLa> Can you do that for your region?
<GMonkey> Yep!
<KidLaLa> Me would like to be able to do that....
<GMonkey> http://www.tvguide.com/tv/listings/
<KidLaLa> Thanks, dearie!!
<GMonkey> Ah ha!  Four pm today on channel 25.
<BabyRain> ARGH.
<KidLaLa> All right!!
<GMonkey> What?
<KidLaLa> She got her feet wet?
<BabyRain> I'm usually a very placid, person, right?
<KidLaLa> Yes...
<GMonkey> Well, kinda...
<KidLaLa> Did you say a bad word to someone?
<BabyRain> If I get riled up, it's usually just for dramatic 
effect.
<KidLaLa> Uh huh
<GMonkey> Okay...
<BabyRain> I asked him to please stop filling in the parking 
spot.
<BabyRain> He was very rude.
<KidLaLa> And....
<GMonkey> Jerk!!!
<KidLaLa> Did you smack him?
<GMonkey> Hey, what's this about the servers being restarted in 
5 minutes?
<KidLaLa> I didn't think Canadians were allowed to be rude?
<BabyRain> Well, I was rude back.
<GMonkey> Good for you!
<KidLaLa> Way to go, BR!!
<BabyRain> I used every nasty word I could think of.
<KidLaLa> Still think you should've smacked him.
<KidLaLa> And he's still alive?
<BabyRain> If he hadn't been in his little box, I would have.
<KidLaLa> Coward plow man.
<KidLaLa> Hiding in his little box.
<BabyRain> Pat, I used the bus adjective.
<KidLaLa> MW, you'll be able to watch PF an hour after the 
chat, right?
<GMonkey> WOW!!!  You were mad!!!
<KidLaLa> Bus adjective?
<GMonkey> Depends when we finish the chat, LaLa.
<KidLaLa> I was thinking the usual noon.
<KidLaLa> My time.
<GMonkey> MF, LaLa. :)
<KidLaLa> OOOOHHHHH, a Canadian said MF!  I'm gonna tell.  :)
* BabyRain hangs her head in shame.
<GMonkey> Then yes, LaLa, it'll be on an hour after the chat.
<GMonkey> Be proud, BR.  After all, SC said it a couple of 
times on those tapes. :)
<KidLaLa> Goodie, Maurice should be in the second one (the 
second half hour).
<BabyRain> Oh, Maurice.  Ton objet de lust. :)
<GMonkey> I'll keep an eye out for him.  Is he a regular on the 
show?
<KidLaLa> And, MW....even if you don't like him, there are a 
couple of other guys you probably will.
<BabyRain> Maurice of the Bald Chest.
<KidLaLa> Yep, he's a regular but they do two half hour stories 
in each show, and he is usually only in one.
<GMonkey> What?!  No FC?!!
* BabyRain is fussy.
<KidLaLa> Don't think so, but it may have been shaved in the 
scene I saw.
* BabyRain bets Mr. HotShot SnowPlough Driver has one measly 
hair on his chest and he comes it every day in the hopes that 
it will grow.
<GMonkey> Even worse!!!  Shaving an FC should be a felony. :)
<BabyRain> combs
<KidLaLa> It should, but they do it.  Shatner used to shave his 
for Star Trek.
<GMonkey> Was that a Freudian slip there, BR? ;)
<BabyRain> I hate him.
<GMonkey> Who?  The plow guy, Shatner or Freud?
* KidLaLa decides to place a LVQ curse on Mr. HotShot 
SnowPlough Driver.
* BabyRain is going to let this go, taking comfort in the fact 
that she knows two city councillors.
<BabyRain> The plough guy *and* Shatner.
<KidLaLa> Me too, BR.  And he may not even have one hair!!
<BabyRain> I think one is somehow more pathetic than none.
<KidLaLa> I agree.
<KidLaLa> MW. I think the two other regular young guys in PF 
have FCs.
<GMonkey> I'll check it out.
<KidLaLa> You're bound to find one you like.  :)
<GMonkey> I'm sure I will.
<KidLaLa> If you don't, you are much too fussy!  :)
<KidLaLa> Although, I just remembered, none of them are 
blondes.
<GMonkey> That's fine.  Dark chest hair is much better. :)
<KidLaLa> Hey, BR, last week an episode of PF was set in Saint 
John's Hospital in Canada.
* KidLaLa definitely prefers dark chest hair.
<BabyRain> St. John's?
<BabyRain> In Nfld?
<KidLaLa> Yeah.  Don't know if it was Newfoundland or not.
<BabyRain> Cool.

Session Start: Sat Mar 15 19:05:56 1997
*** Now talking in #TOTGM
<GMonkey> Hey!
*** KidLaLa (Pohl@103Net-73.sosc.edu) has joined #TOTGM
*** BabyRain changes topic to "HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!"
<KidLaLa> They killed me, sob.
*** BabyRain sets mode: +o GMonkey
*** BabyRain sets mode: +o KidLaLa
<KidLaLa> Thanks, BR.
<GMonkey> Well, I was waiting for that to happen.
<BabyRain> We all got killed.  They reset the server.
*** GMonkey sets mode: +s
<KidLaLa> Me too, but they were so rude about it.
<GMonkey> So, where were we?
<BabyRain> You haven't seen rude til you've met a Saint John 
snowplough driver.
<KidLaLa> Hey am I still here?
<GMonkey> Hey, LaLa, I just found the Psi Factor website.
*** KidLaLa changes topic to "Patricia's First"
<GMonkey> Patricia's first what? :)
<KidLaLa> It's my No. 2 bookmark.
<KidLaLa> You tell us.  ;)
<KidLaLa> Your first anniversary of the site!
<GMonkey> I'm a lady.  I won't tell. :)
<KidLaLa> Harrumph.
<BabyRain> Mine was a Smurf. :)
<GMonkey> So, at http://psifactor.com/investigators.html, which 
one is Maurice?
<KidLaLa> Maurice plays Curtis Rollins.
<GMonkey> I know that, but they don't say who's who in the 
picture.
<KidLaLa> The only picture is a group picture and Maurice is 
the one in the very back and you can't see him real well.
<KidLaLa> He has a goatee, which I don't like, but can live 
with.
<BabyRain> Ewww.
<KidLaLa> It's his voice which is to die for.  And his hazel 
eyes.
<KidLaLa> BR, me hate goatees!!
<GMonkey> Well, I'll see him in a couple of hours.
<KidLaLa> Yes, please check out the nice folks from the show.
<BabyRain> I won't.
<KidLaLa> Once you get cable you will!
<KidLaLa> Right?
<BabyRain> I don't know.  I haven't seen a TV guide in years.
<BabyRain> But it's a Canadian show, right?
<KidLaLa> Karen you may get the show anyway, since it's filmed 
in Canada and produced by a Canadian company.
<BabyRain> Odds are good, then.
<KidLaLa> Definitely a Canadian show.
<KidLaLa> Lots of cuties in this show.  Only one I really like, 
but someone for everyone overall.
<BabyRain> Looks like a Doug show.
<KidLaLa> Doug would like this show.
<KidLaLa> There's a cute woman regular in it for Doug.
<KidLaLa> If that's okay with you, BR.
* KidLaLa topic #TOTGM 14,000 Served
<BabyRain> Well, goyles, I gotta go.  I have to go steam my way 
into the garage in order to get the metal shovel I'm going 
to need to clear the parking spot.
*** KidLaLa changes topic to "14,000 Served"
<BabyRain> I hate winter.
<GMonkey> Hey, whatever happened to Leanne?
<BabyRain> She got a job.
<KidLaLa> BR, why must you go?  Please stay.
<GMonkey> Not today.  It's Saturday.
<BabyRain> It's Saturday?
* KidLaLa rolls her eyes at BR.
<GMonkey> She said she was going to help Hubby Dan wash and wax 
the car, but would be back soon.
<GMonkey> It's a Miata, for Pete's sake.  How long should that 
take?!
<KidLaLa> Especially with two people!
<KidLaLa> MW, can you do a name search on the tv guide thingy, 
as opposed to a title search?
<GMonkey> Yep.
<KidLaLa> Earth to BabyRain, come in please.
<GMonkey> She may have left already.
<KidLaLa> But not without logging off and saving her time?
<BabyRain> I'm here.
<KidLaLa> Whew.  So, you can't stick around for Leanne's 
return?
* BabyRain eyes the clock.
<GMonkey> If Leanne remembers to return.
<BabyRain> Yeah, okay.
<GMonkey> Cool!
<BabyRain> be back in a minute
<KidLaLa> Leanne wouldn't forget us.  And I'm so glad you're 
staying BR.
<GMonkey> If she's not here by 3 (noon for LaLa, 4 for BR), 
then we'll pack it up and go.
<KidLaLa> Sounds reasonable to me.
<BabyRain> Speak of the Aussie
<KidLaLa> Goodie.
*** Volterra (danswler@sdts3-55.znet.com) has joined #totgm
<GMonkey> We should have spoke of her sooner.
*** KidLaLa sets mode: +o Volterra
<GMonkey> Welcome back.
<Volterra> coo-ee!!!!
<KidLaLa> Glad you are back!
<Volterra> thank you.
<Volterra> me too :)
<KidLaLa> Car all done?
<GMonkey> How's the car?
<Volterra> you may call me Little Girl Blue Fingers :)
<KidLaLa> Cold water?
<Volterra> clean, waxed, foudn lots of paint chips
<Volterra> blue wax
<KidLaLa> Ah ha?
<KidLaLa> What color is the car?  White?
<Volterra> white, yup.
<Volterra> so, what've I missed?
<BabyRain> Karen Vs. The SnowPlough
<Volterra> BR: been having fun too?
<GMonkey> She fought the plow and the plow won.
<KidLaLa> Don't mess with Karen.
<Volterra> LOL!
<KidLaLa> But she who laughs last....
<BabyRain> You don't plow the slush in the hubby's spot and you 
don't mess around with Rain.
<KidLaLa> We also have been celebrating the first anniversary 
of MW's web site as well.
<Volterra> I missed the party, eh?
<Volterra> did anyone else show? Michelle?
* KidLaLa passes Leanne some cake and ice cream.
<GMonkey> Leanne, you can answer today's topic question.
<GMonkey> Nobody else has come. :(
<GMonkey> How has the web site changed your life?
<GMonkey> And yes, we know it's a loaded question.
<KidLaLa> BOOM!
<Volterra> *grin*
<Volterra> Lemme see: I met a whole bunch of wonderful fellow 
fans (you guys), discovered certain of the cast and crew 
loved the show as much as I did, got to rewatch long lost 
episodes :) ... hmm, and learnt how to scan text. :)
<GMonkey> See, we're fun and educational. :)
* KidLaLa applauds Leanne's recitation.
<KidLaLa> Yeah, I've heard that BR and MW are fun.  ;)
<Volterra> btw, on my personal site I have an in-line video of 
a made up L&C promo ... which is completey off-topic but I 
wanna see how long it takes other people to d/load :)
<Volterra> Pat: that's right. Fun & educational!
<GMonkey> How big is it, Leanne?
<KidLaLa> I'll check it out on Monday Leanne and advise.
<Volterra> 1.76Mb big enough.
<GMonkey> Pretty darn big. :)
<Volterra> I didn't do it, another fan did, but I wanted to see 
if I could inline it :)
<KidLaLa> That's not too terrible though.  I've downloaded 
bigger in just a few minutes.
<Volterra> LaLa: you must have a nice connection to the net :)
<Volterra> so, how did everyone else answer the topic question?
<KidLaLa> And we've been off-topic several times already.  
Especially about Psi Factor (thanks for your patience MW).
<Volterra> the Psi factor?
<GMonkey> You'll just have to read the log tomorrow and find 
out. :)
<Volterra> oh, ok, I can do that.
<KidLaLa> Leanne, yes, I've got a spiffy connection through 
work.
<Volterra> LaLa: lukcy you!
<KidLaLa> The tv show Psi Factor.
<Volterra> never heard of it (for which MW is probably v. 
grateful)
<KidLaLa> There are so many cool things out there to download.  
Which reminds me, BR, did you "activate" your M&Ms saver?
<BabyRain> I did, LaLa. :)
<BabyRain> It's cute. :)
<BabyRain> Thank you.
<KidLaLa> I like the voices.
* Volterra is going gambling this week
<KidLaLa> LaLa will be happy to send MW or Leanne any of the 
cool screen savers she's discovered if they want.
<KidLaLa> Where, Leanne?
<Volterra> LaLa: my li'l ol' Classic II won't handle it, I 
don't think
<KidLaLa> Sorry.  :(
<Volterra> Laughlin, Nevada, and then a day in LA to get my 
passport updated.
<KidLaLa> Cool.  Win big!!
<Volterra> I hope too! (or spend big. depends on how gambling 
takes my fancy)
<KidLaLa> Slots are my weakness.
* Volterra is gonna try her hand at blackjack.
<Volterra> Incidentally what ever happened to High Stakes Slut?
<KidLaLa> Blackjack is good too.
<BabyRain> Anything more sophisticated than the lottery and I'm 
lost.
<KidLaLa> Now you're talking poker.  :)
* Volterra grins
* GMonkey doesn't gamble. She believes in hoarding all her 
cash.
<KidLaLa> MW you gamble every time you get behind the wheel.  
:)
<GMonkey> I don't gamble.  I take my life in my own hands. :)
* Volterra gambles every time she gets in the shower: will it 
be hot water or cold water today?
* Volterra watched "Ape Boy" t'other night.
<GMonkey> What did ya think, Leanne?
<KidLaLa> A real classic "Ape Boy."
<GMonkey> Time for Leanne's TOTGM review. :)
<Volterra> I think those fishermen row *real* fast :)
<KidLaLa> How many stars for Ape Boy?
<Volterra> out of how many stars?
<KidLaLa> Leanne, you got that right. Four.
<BabyRain> I cried all the way through it when I watched it the 
other night.
<KidLaLa> Ape Boy made you cry?
<BabyRain> Yes.
<Volterra> hmmm, say 2.5  out of 4.
<BabyRain> But I cry over everything.
<KidLaLa> Corky came off smarter than usual in that one.
<KidLaLa> Seems like you curse over some things.  :)
<KidLaLa> Plough Boy.
<Volterra> Caitlin acted wonderfully well, Corky had some great 
lines, loved the cave scene and various hugs.
<GMonkey> Well, the plot was a bit silly, but the episode did 
have some very nice character interaction.
<KidLaLa> And the touching, if unrealistic, ending.
<Volterra> Dan said that he was surprised at how realistic the 
ape behaviour was (aside from a) the costumes and b) the 
fact there are no apes in the Pacific)
<GMonkey> Various hugs?
<KidLaLa> And Todo and his men got to cut loose with their 
samarai swordplay.
<Volterra> Sarah clinging to Jake after he scares off the apes 
(*great* scene, all that), the hug after ApeBoy runs off 
from the cave ...
<Volterra> oh, and the fact that one of the apes raised ApeBoy 
was *completely* lost from the script, imho
<KidLaLa> I thought Borneo had orangutangs?
<GMonkey> Oh, I should have known you were talking about 
various *Jake* hugs. :)
<Volterra> oh and Jack licking the Apeboy -- that was sweet. 
Nice to see jack's soft side
<BabyRain> (sniff)
<KidLaLa> That was cool, seeing Jack's soft side.
<BabyRain> (sniff, sniff)
<GMonkey> We always knew he was a little ol' marshmallow. :)
<Volterra> LaLa: Borneo is in the Indian ocean says HubbyDan
<KidLaLa> Close enough for me.  :)
<KidLaLa> Actually I thought Borneo was near Java.
<KidLaLa> As long as I know where Canada is, I'm happy though.
<Volterra> guess it's on the Indian Ocena side :)
<KidLaLa> I'd love to go to Madagascar myself.
<GMonkey> I just wanna make it to LA for the Gathering.
<BabyRain> As long as *I* know where Canada is, I'm happy. :)
<Volterra> :)
<KidLaLa> I hope I can still go to the Gathering.
<GMonkey> Is everyone backing out of the Gathering?
* Volterra is hoping to be able to afford her anniversary 
weekend, LAFF97 and the TOTGM Gathering
<KidLaLa> LAFF97?
<KidLaLa> Sounds interesting.
* Volterra will cut short the LAFF97 if she has to. (LA FoLC 
Fest) -- tis L&C
<KidLaLa> MW, if I start a new job, I may not be able to take 
off.
<KidLaLa> Leanne, I guess I should have known it was an L&C 
thing.  :)
<GMonkey> :(
<BabyRain> :(
<KidLaLa> But I will of course try my very, very best.
<BabyRain> :)
<Volterra> LaLa: even if it's a weekend? Can't you take a 
sickie?
<GMonkey> I'm gonna make the time to be there, even if they 
have to dock my pay.
* Volterra seconds that
<KidLaLa> I don't like to call in sick unless I really am.  
Although I do have 32 days of sick leave built up.
<GMonkey> There ya go!
<Volterra> LaLa: well one or two won't hurt!
<GMonkey> And it's for a really good cause.
<KidLaLa> Considering half the campus knows about me and the 
Gathering though, it wouldn't be hard for them to put two 
and two together.
<GMonkey> So, let them!
<KidLaLa> Can't afford to lose my job though.
<Volterra> LaLa: How did half the campus find out?
<KidLaLa> I told them!!
* KidLaLa admits to braggin about being part of the Gathering.
<Volterra> oh :) I thought sick days could also be considered 
"rest" days. They are in California
<KidLaLa> If I took sick leave and went to the Gathering, and 
they found out, I would be in trouble.
<GMonkey> Well, if you've got the time accrued, I don't see 
what the deal is.
<GMonkey> The weenies!!
<KidLaLa> Yep, weenies.
<BabyRain> weenies
<Volterra> me either
<KidLaLa> All moot at this point though.  Might not be a 
problem at all to take off.
<KidLaLa> Now if you were living here MW, it would be much 
easier...
<GMonkey> Let me see how things go this week and I'll let you 
know.
<KidLaLa> Semi kidding.
<KidLaLa> No pressure here.  :)
<KidLaLa> How long until MW goes to visit BR?
<BabyRain> Mere days. :)
<BabyRain> What, about 45?
<GMonkey> About 6 weeks I guess.
<KidLaLa> Alright.  Take lots and lots of pictures, and please 
make some .wav files.
<BabyRain> Okay.  42.
<KidLaLa> That's no time at all.
<GMonkey> Or whenever the snow melts.
<KidLaLa> Gosh, I wonder if MW will leave or end up staying in 
St. John?  :)
<BabyRain> Well, gang, speaking of snow, I gotta go dig.
<KidLaLa> You mean shovel, eh?
<BabyRain> Yeah.
<KidLaLa> We know how good you are at shoveling it.  :)
<GMonkey> So, do you want to end the chat now?
<BabyRain> On the plus side, my flowers are coming up.
<KidLaLa> Cool.  Love them bulbsters.
<BabyRain> Mind you, they're in a container in my kitchen. :)
<Volterra> flowers in the snow?
<Volterra> ah.
<BabyRain> Those ones won't be up until April or May.
<KidLaLa> Tricky BR.  I've already got dandylions in my yard.  
Phooey!
<BabyRain> I've got slush.  Trade ya. :)
<KidLaLa> Pass.
<BabyRain> Anyway, I'm off.
<BabyRain> Bye, gals! :)
<KidLaLa> We knew that.  :)
<BabyRain> Haha
<GMonkey> Toodles!
<KidLaLa> Hasta lumbago.
<BabyRain> Ciao!  
*** BabyRain has quit IRC (Going to get more Diet Pepsi!!!)
<Volterra> bye Karen!
<Volterra> missed :(
<KidLaLa> Three good little Monkiacs left.
<KidLaLa> Three quiet little Monkiacs left.
<GMonkey> So, is this the end?
<Volterra> well, it is coming up to noon
<KidLaLa> Hey, MW, if you do watch Psi Factor and want to give 
me a buzz, I'll be around.
<GMonkey> Around where?
<KidLaLa> I am anxious to see if you find someone you like.
<KidLaLa> The house.
<KidLaLa> All around the house.  :)
<GMonkey> Otay.  I'll ask the dadster if he still has those 
long distance minutes to eat up.
<KidLaLa> If he doesn't, don't spend your money.  I'll live.  
:)
<KidLaLa> We can "talk" about it Monday if need be.
<GMonkey> I'm not sure if my switch to Sprint has gone through 
yet or not.
<GMonkey> Then I can call you for just 10 cents a minute. :)
<KidLaLa> So, Leanne going to go cruising this afternoon in the 
nice clean Miata?
<KidLaLa> Sprint is the best.
<Volterra> yeah, we have to go shop for Dan's father. We're 
having his birthday dinner tonight
<KidLaLa> Today is my mom's birthday.
<KidLaLa> And refrigerator loaner Celeste's birthday too.
<Volterra> well, it's not Dan's dad's birthday today -- it's 
next week.
<KidLaLa> Close though.  Still a Pisces, right?
<Volterra> yup
<GMonkey> My brother Doug's birthday is next week.
<KidLaLa> When MW?
<GMonkey> Next Saturday, the 22nd.
<KidLaLa> I am still amazed that Leanne and Tom have the same 
birthday, and that BR got married on that date as well.
<Volterra> yeah, that is way cool :)
<KidLaLa> Wonder when Harvey and Les
<KidLaLa> (cont) have their birthdays?
<GMonkey> So who's gonna be at the next chat?
<GMonkey> It's Tuesday, April 1.
<Volterra> the Tuesday? not me :(
<KidLaLa> Don't know about me yet.  May be working.
<GMonkey> The next Saturday one is April 18.
<KidLaLa> Will definitely be playing tricks on people.
<Volterra> APril Fools Day. How apt :)
<KidLaLa> I'll be at the 4/18 one if the Meffa campus is open 
(which it should be).
<GMonkey> Cool!
<Volterra> I'll be at the next Satuday one.
<Volterra> so are we finishing up?
<KidLaLa> I reckon.
<KidLaLa> My sister just e-mailed me that her parakeet is 
laying eggs again.
<GMonkey> Ooops, I lied.  It's April 19.
<KidLaLa> Fibber!!
* GMonkey hangs her head in shame.
<Volterra> so long as you email us reminders :)
<KidLaLa> Rene's birthday, but I'll be there.
<GMonkey> I will.  That is if I remember to. :)
<KidLaLa> MW, see what happens when you don't eat fish?  :)
<GMonkey> Well, I better get going.
<KidLaLa> Bye!!  Maybe talk to you later!!
<GMonkey> I'll talk to you gals later, via email.
<Volterra> well, it was nice chatting with you all again!
<Volterra> ta ta!
<GMonkey> Or phone. :)
<KidLaLa> Nice to talk to you again, Leanne.
<KidLaLa> Phone, I meant.
<GMonkey> It's been real. :)
*** Volterra has quit IRC (Leaving)
<GMonkey> Later!
<KidLaLa> Has it!
