<Volterra> hey!
<GMonkey> Hi, Leanne!
<Volterra> I just did a who and couldn't see anyone ... how 
long have you guys been here?
<Volterra> oh, you're marked "S" for secret :)
<GMonkey> I just got here literally 30 seconds ago.
<Volterra> Hi Patricia, Hi BabyRain!
<GMonkey> BabyRain is Karen, but I don't know where she is.
<Volterra> Ah.
<GMonkey> Well, we *are* early. :)
<Volterra> Well, I emailed one other friend about it, but I 
don't know if she'll get the message in time or not
<Volterra> true :) couldn't wait :)
<GMonkey> I got your email.  Thanks!
<Volterra> no probs!
<GMonkey> So how's the job search going?
<Volterra> it's going ... I had an interview today that looks 
promising
<GMonkey> Where and what for?  Yes, I'm nosy.
<Volterra> down in Chula Vista (community south of San Diego) 
as a software programmer.
<Volterra> that's my job. Say, what's yours?
<Volterra> (two can be nosey!)
<GMonkey> Oooo, sounds like big bucks!
<Volterra> well, not necessarily. So long as it's bucks :)
<GMonkey> I'm a support analyst.  Basically I'm a number 
cruncher.
<Volterra> do they taste good?
* Volterra grins
<GMonkey> When you add a pinch of salt.
<Volterra> salt works wonders doesn't it?
<GMonkey> That and ketchup! :)
<Volterra> oh, I have to confess (before anyone else gets here) 
that I haven't started typing yet.
<GMonkey> That's okay.  It's slow going for me too.
*** BabyRain sets mode: +o GMonkey
*** BabyRain sets mode: +o Volterra
<Volterra> but they're sitting on pf y computer.
<GMonkey> Hi, Karen!  Where you been.
<Volterra> let me translate: top of my computer
<Volterra> hi and thanks Karen!
<GMonkey> It looks like it's just going to be the 3 of us.  
Lesley can't make it.
<BabyRain> I was editting some home pages and hhad the IRC 
client minimized.  It was supposed to beep when you got here, 
but I had the volume turned down. :)
<Volterra> well, that'll work *grin*
<GMonkey> Likely story!
* BabyRain gets indignant, then decides she doesn't have the 
energy.
<BabyRain> Do you think anyone else will come?
<GMonkey> Have another diet pepsi.  That'll pick you up!
* Volterra has actually done that before. Only the sound wasn't 
turned down. It just didn't beep.
<BabyRain> Oh!  It's on the coffee table.  Hang on!
<GMonkey> I emailed many of the regulars but only Leanne 
replied.
* GMonkey pats Leanne on the head
* Volterra rolls over and begs for a tummy scratch
<Volterra> *grin*
<GMonkey> Don't push your luck, missy! :)
<Volterra> well, #warlow started off slow too ... in fact, 
after three months it's still slow!
<GMonkey> It's not the quantity, it's the quality.
<Volterra> uh huh
<GMonkey> Well, it sounded good to me.
<Volterra> sounds good to me too. A lady of Quality I is and 
make no mistake!
<GMonkey> Hey, do you think we should move on to the topic at 
hand?
<Volterra> must we?
* Volterra ducks
<BabyRain> MONKEY!  MONKEY!  TALK THE MONKEY!!!!
-> [GMonkey] PING
-> [Volterra] PING
<GMonkey> I'm having SERIOUS doubts about this!
<BabyRain> Why?
<Volterra> naahh ... not you :)
<GMonkey> Just kidding.  Now on with the show...
<Volterra> you know the ep I remember most?
<GMonkey> Could it be 'Trunk From the Past'?
<Volterra> (and I havent looked up the ep guide yet)
<Volterra> well, I meant from original viewiings ...
<GMonkey> YOU DON'T HAVE IT MEMORIZED!!!  OUT!!!1
<Volterra> it's the one where Sarah's college buddy, Whitney 
comes to Boragora
* Volterra pouts and crawls into the corner.
<GMonkey> 'Naka Jima Kill'
* GMonkey shows off her abundant semi-useless knowledge
<BabyRain> I have that one memorized, too, mainly because it's 
the one I still have on audio tape.
<Volterra> No ... I don't have it memorised. When I have the 
eps I'll make an effort. I need images and sound to remember 
titles, and sometimes not even then.
<Volterra> Karen: me too!
<Volterra> Well, the opening and closing credits anyway
<GMonkey> Do you guys want tapes?
<BabyRain> My favourite line:  "We had some peanut butter 
sandwiches on the way over."
<BabyRain> I think I might have tapes coming.
<GMonkey> Peanut butter and banana. :)
<BabyRain> Poor Corky.
<GMonkey> Good for you, Karen.  How about you, Leanne.
<Volterra> "Whitney for once will you shut up!" "It's a 
warrior's code. Once his sword completely leaves it's sheath 
..." um something :)
<GMonkey> Was it just me or did you know that Prudy was a guy 
immediately?
<Volterra> Well, call me picky -- but I want good quality 
copies
* GMonkey calls Leanne picky.
<GMonkey> Hopefully, Tom Greene will send me his tapes soon.
<Volterra> Other than that I've one reasonable copy of "Trunk 
from the Past"
<BabyRain> Leanne:  "It's a warrior code -- once his sword 
completely leaves its sheath, it has to taste blood."
<Volterra> thanks Karen :)
<GMonkey> Oooo, impressive.
* BabyRain takes a bow
<GMonkey> I may have to start digging out the scripts just for 
reference purposes.
<Volterra> the other quote from the opening credits is: "Jake! 
Look ou!" *ruff*
<Volterra> out even
<GMonkey> Well, you two "foreigners" will appreciate, "Why are 
Americans so twitchy?"
<BabyRain> I thought It was "Jack!  Look out!" :)  I see 
someone else has the "preview" for that ep memorized, too. :)
<Volterra> :P
<BabyRain> Leanne, you're a foreigner too?
<Volterra> hey, it was all I had, what else was there to 
memorise?
<Volterra> Aussie born and bred -- bu married American
<Volterra> but even
<Volterra> heck, that t key
<Volterra> Canadian, Karen?
<BabyRain> My hands are freezing, so any typos are a direct 
result of this fact.
<BabyRain> Yeah, I'm Canadian, eh? :)
<Volterra> I wish I had that excuse :)
<GMonkey> Well, I'm just plain ol' American.  Sigh.
* Volterra grins
<Volterra> Pat: well, so was Jake :)
<GMonkey> Yeah!
* GMonkey sighs dreamily.
* Volterra sighs dreamily also
<GMonkey> BabyRain?
<BabyRain> Yo.
<GMonkey> No dream sigh from you?
<Volterra> he was so cute on 7th Heaven last night -- SC that 
is, not JC
<GMonkey> Don't rub it in.  Poor Canadian Karen can't see the 
show.
<BabyRain> You know that line in the ep with Faye Grant?  
Something about "Please hold me.  I feel like I might fall 
and break into little pieces"?  That line *works* on guys. :)
<Volterra> oh, oops.
<BabyRain> (mutter mutter)
<GMonkey> You know this from experience?
<Volterra> hmm, I might try that on hubby tonight ... does one 
do it teary-eyed?
<BabyRain> Absolutely. :)
<Volterra> hey, TOTGM is educational too!
<BabyRain> On the brink of tears, but not quite there.
<GMonkey> Was there any doubt to it's educational value?
<BabyRain> Patricia, did you know that you started BB#2 on my 
wedding day?  I just thought I'd ppoint that out.
<GMonkey> Maybe I'll mention that on the board tomorrow.
<BabyRain> Oh, I fully expect you to. :) :) :)
* GMonkey is making a mental note
<BabyRain> Did you like my 12-year-old Ba-DUM aty the end of 
the theme where it got cut off?
<Volterra> hmm, so is this being logged for the board tomorrow? 
*grin*
<BabyRain> Actually, I *am* logging. :)
<GMonkey> Yes, it's great.
<GMonkey> I've uploaded the file but it's huge.  I'm not sure 
if I should include a link in the site.
<BabyRain> It's about 2 megs, right?
<GMonkey> 1.3 I think.  But that's mighty big.
*** BillPrest (BillPresto@65-136.client.gnn.com) has joined 
#totgm
<Volterra> Bill!
<BabyRain> I've dled files that size before.
<BillPrest> Hello everybody.  Is this thing on?
<BabyRain> BILL!
<GMonkey> Hi, Bill!  What's shaking?
* BabyRain wonders if she's met Bill, but will do the welcome 
thing anyway ...
<Volterra> I have too ... just make sure the size is visible -- 
so then people can choose to download or not
<GMonkey> Karen, Bill.  Bill, Karen.
<BabyRain> Hi, Bill.
* Volterra checks Bill's mike.
<Volterra> Looks fine to me
* BabyRain extends her right hand.
* Volterra introduces herself.
<Volterra> I'm Leanne
<GMonkey> I'll put in a link tomorrow.  I promise.
<BillPrest> Hiya goils!  What's going on?
<GMonkey> Leanne, Bill.  Bill, Leanne.
<BillPrest> Hi Karen.  Greetings from Colorado.
<Volterra> Pat: oh and warn 'em it'll take a while
<GMonkey> The usual Monkey chat stuff.
<BillPrest> Hi Volterra, Hi Baby Rain.  Do I know you folks?
<Volterra> Aiee! Don't bill me yet. (boom boom)
<BabyRain> After all the trouble we went through to get it to 
you, you'd better. :)  I saved that tape just for you, you 
know.  All those years, I kept saying to myself, someday I'll 
meet Patricia, and ...
<BabyRain> I don't know if you know me or not.
<Volterra> I have my *mother* laughing in the background of my 
tape
<GMonkey> Okay, okay.  I'll link and warn!
<BillPrest> GMonkey: Is that you, Patricia?
<Volterra> don't think so Bill but you're a Monkiac so that's 
cool, right!
<GMonkey> Yep.  Don't you remember my new e-mail address?
<BillPrest> I had a whale of a time finding this place.  It 
turned out to be much easier than I thought.
<GMonkey> Well, I know everybody.  That's all that matters. :)
<BillPrest> What are we talking about?
<BabyRain> Actually, something very weird happened on my tape.  
At the beginning of the tape, before I taped the show, I 
taped my godfather snoring and singing.  When I listened to 
the tape a couple of weeks ago, I was stunned.  My godfather 
died over three years ago, now.  It was really special to 
find I still had part of him left.
<Volterra> Karen: wow ...
<Volterra> Bill: tapes versions of TOTGM that we have at 
present
<Volterra> taped even. I'm not typng well this arv
<GMonkey> Tell 'em what you got, Bill.
<BabyRain> Yeah.  That's what I thought.  My husband couldn't 
imagine 1) what I was listening to and 2) why I was bawling 
my eyes out.
<BabyRain> What have you got, Bill?
* Volterra hugs Karen
<BillPrest> Thanks to my good buddy Patricia, I have every tape 
of TOTGM.  And a bunch of USA Network commercials as well.
* BabyRain hugs Leanne back.
<BabyRain> Every single show?  WOW!
<Volterra> Lucky Bill ...
<GMonkey> But of course they're not high quality.
<BillPrest> Except the two hour spliced together weird re-do 
movie.
* GMonkey smirks at Leanne.
<BillPrest> True.  But any old port in a storm.
* Volterra pokes her tongue out at Patricia
<GMonkey> Oooo, Bill, do you want that?  I've got it.
<BillPrest> I don't need it, do I?
<GMonkey> Not really, but it's unintentionally hilarious.
<BabyRain> I say we have a convention.
<Volterra> those kind of movies often are
<BillPrest> That's okay.  Thanks for the offer though.
<Volterra> was that a request, Karen???
<GMonkey> The offer will remain open to anyone.
<BabyRain> I think so.
<Volterra> does anyone else here have (or did see) Putting It 
Together on Broadway?
<BillPrest> Nope
<GMonkey> No.  I can't find the CD anywhere.
* GMonkey pouts.
* BabyRain feels strange that the only place she's been in the 
US is Bangor, ME.
<Volterra> Patricia: why didn't you say so? I'll tape it for 
you.
<BillPrest> What  exactly is "Putting It Together on Broadway?" 
 Show tunes?
<GMonkey> If you do, are you sure you don't want some TOTGM 
tapes in return?
<Volterra> re: the convention: we could go to LA (bleh) and go 
on the set and have dinner with the cast or something ...
<GMonkey> Leanne, O Musical Maven, explain PIT please.
<Volterra> "Putting It Together" is a Sondheim review
<GMonkey> SC is in the cast.
<Volterra> Patricia: you could twist my arm on that - OW!
<BillPrest> You mean Stephen Sondheim, the musical fella?
<Volterra> and Julie Andrews
<Volterra> yup
<GMonkey> But Julie was never on TOTGM!
<BillPrest> Julie Andrews?  My daughter has a book of hers, 
writing as Julie Edwards.
<Volterra> it's songs from previous musicals stuck loosely 
together to form a new one. Julie and Stephen play hubby and 
wife.
<Volterra> Pat: yeah but a) she's brilliant and b) she's a name 
people know
<BillPrest> She's a bit older than him, n'cest pas?
<GMonkey> Oh, oh, Bill, you're gonna get it.
<BillPrest> Not that it matters.
<Volterra> well ... yes .... -- and nice recovery :)
<GMonkey> Nice save, Bill.
<BillPrest> A thousand pardons for an unkind remark.
<GMonkey> But she looks great.
<BillPrest> Can Stephen sing?  I mean, other than little 
fishies over the dam sort of thing.
<Volterra> and she sounds great too -- I mean she had flu when 
she recorded the cd and still sounded good!
<Volterra> yes, he can.
<Volterra> not amazingly so -- but pleasantly
<GMonkey> He's just so multi-talented.
* GMonkey sighs dreamily yet again.
<BabyRain> I love the fishies song.
<GMonkey> Have you memorized it yet?
<BillPrest> Hey, back to the basics.  We watched "Black Pearl" 
last night, and my wife came up with the opinion that Jack 
is always cranky because nobody ever pets him.  Whattya 
think?
<Volterra> He was petted in "Ape Boy" by the ape boy -- he 
really liked it.
<GMonkey> I think he's just old and cranky.  I like that!
<Volterra> and he's still sore at Jake for losing his eye, of 
course
<BabyRain> I think the fact that Jake lost his eye had 
something to do with it.
<BabyRain> Oooh!  In stereo almost
<BillPrest> I can relate to the old & cranky part sometimes.  
How 'bout 'middle aged & cranky'?
<GMonkey> I was surprised that they mention in the bible that 
Jack will never get his eye back.
<Volterra> gmta, Karen!
<GMonkey> Are you talking about Jack or you, Bill? :)
<Volterra> do I hear young-aged and mildly irriated?
<BillPrest> But hear me out here.  Jake & Corky never pet him.  
He's their dog.  Buffy the wonder Lab would be very put out 
if I never petted her.
<Volterra> irritated
<Volterra> dang
<GMonkey> Those darn Ts again.
<Volterra> I'm too fast for my keyboard
<Volterra> Bill, I certainly think it's a factor!
<GMonkey> Well, they just treated him as one of the guys.  You 
wouldn't expect Jake to pet Corky, would you?  Umm...I 
mean... :)
* Volterra is *not* going there
<BillPrest> I emailed Jeff Mackay one time, asking when Leo 
(Jack) died, and he didn't know.  Jack was a huge part of 
that show, you know.
<GMonkey> He was always my fave.  He always got to say exactly 
what he thought.
<Volterra> uh huh. TotGM was very much an ensemble show ... 
*everyone* was important.
<BillPrest> And he was trilingual!  And if you noticed in one 
of the episodes, he was an espresso drinker, years before it 
became a fad.
<GMonkey> He was one hep cat, rather one hep dog.
<BillPrest> Volterra is right, though.  It definitely was 
composed of many elements, all of them important.
<Volterra> ABC are such idiots, aren't they?
<GMonkey> That's what made the show great, the many facets.
<GMonkey> I prefer to call them "weenies"!
<BillPrest> An apt description.
<BabyRain> I've been calling *everyone* weenies for the past 
week.  NOW I know where I got it. :)
<Volterra> nah, why mince words?
<BillPrest> brb
<Volterra> lol!
<GMonkey> Would you prefer "chuckleheads"?
<Volterra> how about "brain-drained numskulls who couldn't 
write a decent sentence to save themselves let alone figure 
out what creative is and isn't!"
* Volterra isn't bitter.
<Volterra> Much.
<GMonkey> Hey, we haven't even touched the proposed topic.
* GMonkey IS BITTER!
<BillPrest> I mourn the fact that TOTGM lasted one year.  If it 
had gone 2 years, we'd have 42 episodes on tape.
<BabyRain> I still feel bad for the lady at ATV who broke the 
news to me that the show had been cancelled.
<BillPrest> Run it by me again.  What is the proposed topic?
<Volterra> I gave up cricket because that's what replaced it.
<GMonkey> "What do you think happened to the characters during 
the war?"
<BillPrest> BabyRain - what is ATV?
<Volterra> (it wasn't hard to do)
<Volterra> oh, that was the topic?
<GMonkey> Didn't anybody read my story on the board?
* GMonkey sighs wearily.
<BabyRain> ATV?  Atlantic Television System, a subsidiary of 
CTV (Canadian Television).
<BabyRain> I read your story.
<Volterra> Sarah worked for the French Resistance alongside 
Louie who she married because Jake up and left to enlist
<GMonkey> Thank you, Karen.
<Volterra> sorry, Pat, I only visit every coupla days
<BillPrest> Jake & Corky - were coastwatchers in the Solomon 
Islands until 1943, at which time Jake joined the Marine 
Corps and flew with Pappy Boyington and Joe Foss, flying 
Chance Vought Corsairs.
<BabyRain> Good one, Leanne! :)
* Volterra feels real bad
<GMonkey> I'm still getting a mental picture of Louie and Sarah 
married.  Tres weird!
<BillPrest> Corky was a Marine mechanic, of course, and got 
married after the war.  His most famous son was actor Kevin 
Corcoran, or Moochie as we know him best.
<BabyRain> Jake ran off to Eastern Canada and is now my 
next-door neighbour.
<GMonkey> Nice try, Karen. :)
<BabyRain> I borrowed his pruning shears yesterday.
<BabyRain> Honest! :)
<Volterra> well, you never know
<BillPrest> Todo joined the Imperial Japanese Navy, and died at 
the battle of Midway.
<GMonkey> Oh, she just wants Jake all to herself.
<GMonkey> But would Todo ever leave Koji, even for Japan?
<Volterra> Jake had a brief stint in the battle over the 
Channel and when Paris was liberated he bumps into Sarah and 
they have a Casablanca lik meeting and separation
<BillPrest> Willie died at Stalingrad, a dejected, 
disillusioned prisoner of war (as we found out from the 
TOTGM bible)
<GMonkey> Lesley is still VERY upset over Willie's passing.
<BillPrest> Koji, let's see, what happened to Koji?  Oh yeah, 
she returned to the Japanese Mainland to avoid the conflict. 
 That's when Todo enlisted.
<GMonkey> In her story, Willie trades dog tags with a dead 
soldier and assumes his identity.
<Volterra> Yeah, why'd they give WIllie an ending and no-one 
else? To make the writers treat him better?
<BillPrest> Did I miss Lesley's story somehow?
<Volterra> Lesley wrote a story?
<GMonkey> No.  I haven't posted it yet.  It's not really a 
story, just a bunch of ideas.
<GMonkey> I was hoping she could join us to talk about it, but 
her car died.  A moment of silence please.
<BillPrest> After the war, Jake returns to the US, and ends up 
in New York, where he runs into Soc McGinnis and Harry 
Johnson, and the 3 of them form Eagle Cargo Company.
<Volterra> who're McGinnis and Johnson?
<BillPrest> Corky & Harry are the mechanics, Jake & Soc are the 
pilots.  They fly C-47s & C-4s from Helena, Montana.
<BillPrest> Volterra, you'll have to read "Last Flight of the 
Eagle" to know about Soc & Harry.
<Volterra> Bill: oh. Where would I find that?
<BillPrest> Did I say C-4s?  I meant C-54s.
<BillPrest> Volterra - unfortunately you won't.  I have the 
only copy.
<Volterra> you wrote it? Cool!
<BillPrest> Some would call it writing.  Others would call it 
typing.
<GMonkey> You typed it?  Cool!
* Volterra laughs
* GMonkey is being a smartass again
<BabyRain> I could always type up and upload the fan fict I 
wrote when I was 12.  It would be good for a laugh or two.
<BillPrest> I stole that quote from Truman Capote.  About the 
only thing I'll ever steal from him.
<Volterra> unless you find another suitable quote
<Volterra> :)
<BillPrest> Baby - TOTGM fanfict?
<GMonkey> Filthy plagiarist!  But we like you anyway, Bill.
<BillPrest> I paraphrased, okay?
<Volterra> I kinda wrote a musical loosely based around 
brideshead revisted and umm totgm ...
<GMonkey> Leanne: Combined?!
*** Volterra changes topic to "Tales of the Gold Monkey: True 
Confessions onf the Monkiacs"
<BillPrest> So Jake & Soc & Harry & Corky end up running guns 
to the Israelis in 1948, something that Soc & Harry have a 
little experience in, ala "Last Flight of the Eagle", the 
aforementioned work.
<GMonkey> BTW, Karen, I'd love your fanfic.
<Volterra> Well, more sequential really ... and I stole *all* 
the music (I do that with my musicals)
<Volterra> yeah Karen, type it up
<BillPrest> Karen - si!
<BabyRain> Okay, but I'll leave it "as is" for historical 
value. :)
<GMonkey> It's unanimous!
<BillPrest> I'll vote twice to make it really unanimous!
<BabyRain> Maybe once I get some tapes and watch the show 
again, I'll write some better stuff.
<Volterra> cool :)
<GMonkey> Just put in an author's note.  "I was young.  Sue 
me!"
<BabyRain> Okay. :)
* Volterra wants to write some ToTGM fic too ...
<BillPrest> There's excitement in the air in Colorado, over 
Karen's stuff!
<GMonkey> Hopefully soon (a few months from now), we'll be 
staring an online zine, Cutters Goose 3.
<Volterra> well, not "Sue me!" 'cause someone will, I'm sure. 
People are so suggestive :)
<BillPrest> Volterra - go for it.
<BabyRain> I'll have to find them.  Oh, I'll need another 
disclaimer as well.  I thought Sarah's last name was 
Stickney-White, so whjen I introduced her younger sister, she 
had the last name of Stickney-White.
<Volterra> you mean a *sequel* to #! and #2
<GMonkey> Yes.
<BillPrest> Does anybody do illustration?
<BillPrest> Yes sequel, or yes illustration?
<BabyRain> Not me.  I'm limited to the literary arts.
* Volterra will *definitely* get started then.
<GMonkey> I hope to have the first two issues transcribed and 
uploaded in a month or two.
<GMonkey> Yes, sequel.  You have the first two issues, Leanne.
<BillPrest> I won't shave until I read Volterra's fanfict, or 
tomorrow morning, whichever comes first.
<GMonkey> I'm a woman of many words, but no pictures.
<Volterra> I know, for a moment I thought there'd been another.
<Volterra> Bill: haven't I heard that somewhere before? ;)
<BillPrest> I gotta brother who's aa decent cartoonist.  
Patricia, I've told you about him.  He's hard to motivate.
* Volterra can't draw either. SOmeone out there could though.
<GMonkey> Not yet.  Marilyn Victor wants to edit a new issue.
<GMonkey> Sounds like my brother, except for the artistic part. 
:)
<Volterra> Marilyn Victor nee Johansen?
<GMonkey> Egads!  Look at the time!
<Volterra> almost 5pmPST
<Volterra> we're good gabbers :)
<BillPrest> Back to the original subject, as time wanes.  Louis 
makes the wrong choice, sides with the Vichy French, is 
killed in 1942 in Algiers by a disgruntled loyalist.
<GMonkey> So, next week?  Same monkey time, same monkey 
channel?
<Volterra> you mean we have to go now?
<BabyRain> sniff
<BillPrest> Count me in, circumstances permitting.
<BabyRain> I'll be here, as long as I'm not there.
<GMonkey> Well, I was trying to limit the discussions to one 
hour so we'd have something to talk about next week.
<Volterra> I'll be here, barring job interviews and the like
<BillPrest> Is it over?  This is it?
<Volterra> oh.
<GMonkey> Well, if you had come on time, Bill...
<BillPrest> I was woikin'
<Volterra> will we have a set topic next week too? (not that we 
stick to it)
<GMonkey> Maybe, next week we'll have 20 people here.
<GMonkey> Nah.  Let's play it by ear.
<BillPrest> Well listen, you guys are wonderful.  It's an honor 
and a privilege to know you, and a grand time chattin' with 
yuz.
<Volterra> well, my ears don't type much better than my 
fingers, but I can try that, if you want ...
<BabyRain> Do you want me to send you the log for the site, GM?
<Volterra> see you next week, Bill!
* GMonkey slaps Volterra around a bit with a large trout
* BabyRain slaps GMonkey around a bit with a large trout
<BabyRain> Bye, Bill!
* Volterra will go brainstorm her fic ..
<GMonkey> Sounds great!  Just stop slapping me!
<Volterra> ooh! I got trout-slapped! I've made it!
<BillPrest> Bye Volterra.  You're way too swell for your own 
good.
<BillPrest> Bye bye Baby, bye bye.
<GMonkey> Well, sleep tight.  Don't let the bedbugs bite.
<Volterra> sounds like another quote bill, see you later, Bill!
* Volterra will visit site too :)
<BillPrest> Don't let Louis hear you say that!
<Volterra> ta ta all.
<BabyRain> Bye!
