Session Start: Tue Nov 26 22:57:17 1996 *** Now talking in #TOTGM Sure, now where's LaLa. *** BabyRain sets mode: +s *** BabyRain sets mode: +o GMonkey Thanks, sweetie. *** THELaLa (Pohl@140.211.98.153) has joined #TOTGM Hiya goils Yeah, LaLa! *** GMonkey sets mode: +o THELaLa You have to change ports to get on? Thanks, GM. I'm listening to Fiddler on the Roof Change what ports, LaLa? I had to change ports to get on. From 6667 to 6666. Oh. Hmmm...that's a new one to me. I got on just fine. It works, if necessary Doesn't seem to affect the timing. Cool! It took me a minute, but I got on, too. "SUBSTANDARD"?! Okay. We're live! * BabyRain has just read the BB I tried to defend you, BR. How rude!! (sniff) It was all I had (sniff) That was totally unnecessary, BR IMHO. I know, and we all appreciated it. She did. I had actually recorded my version about a week or so ago. Slap whoever said that with a cannonball. okay (sniff) Thank you for supplying his email address. We appreciate your effort BR. Truly. After you taught me how to make .wav files. I'm going to send him "It's a Small World" I just wanted to free up some web space. substandard. Bah. I liked you ta-dum. I thought it was funny. :) I still haven't heard it. What do you call a singing onion? what? A rapscallion. Please do not throw anything at me. He said "very substandard". Like when I did it, I even knew there'd be an Internet. We can't make any promises. I agree, BR, the comment was way out of line. Go get him, goils! * BabyRain is clearing the bitterness from her brain. People like that are worth being bitter over. Violent, maybe. :) make that aren't... Hey, at least he didn't threaten to kill you! He wouldn't dare with MW watching. Remember "Auckerman"? I think it was gone before BR found the site. She told me about it It was terrible. I think I'd rather be threatened than have my efforts called sub-standard. Mom said that 7th Heaven was good last night. Well, we all loved it. It had character. If he had said anything about the fan-fic, it would have been war. Really? With us as your troops!! Everybody loves the fan-fic! Now when do Jake and I get busy? :) * THELaLa wonders how she lived before the fanfic. I have part 5 almost done Cool! And me and Corky? I'm glad you guys like it Yes, yes, part five!! It's fun! Actually theLaLa and Corky show is more Part 6 * THELaLa hopes she can hold out. Oooo, so Jake and I take over Part 5, eh? It's worth it. for part six, not YKW. Yeah, but it's not like that story I sent you. Pout, pout. Me liked that story. * THELaLa wishes she could have the entire novel now. What novel? Dream about it tonight, LL. The Fan-fic novel. Believe me, I will try my best!! oh Thanks, GM. It's not done yet. :) I know, I was teasing. I do that a lot. We're having a wicked storm here. I may lose power Noooo! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Your No was larger than mine, LaLa. It's really windy and freezing rain Tell the storm fairy you cannot lose power. Don't do it again. I'd better not answer that one, MW. I got excited and it's always bigger when I'm excited. Noooo! Remind you of anything BR? No. Not at all. What? As she gazes off into the ceiling. Okay, girls, we're live, remember. Keep it clean. Oh, man, now you remind me. Well, somebody has to. Oh, my husband's home. I can hear him attempting to get the car up the driveway. Who's gonna read this log anyway? They do? Go Doug, go. Is he bringing you DP? Are you sure it's him? Remember Friday night? I don't know if he's gonna make it. The driveway is something like a sixty degree angle and it's covered in ice. Yuck! Back it up. It's gotta be him. Who else would attempt it in this weather without winter tires? :) Chains? On his little black sportscar? HAHAHA! Hey, I told you to keep it clean! :) * BabyRain slaps GMonkey around a bit with a large trout Right, MW. Thanks BR. No groceries tonight, I don't think. Yes, chains and trout! I love it!!! :) Are we being creative? :) Let's be chums! :) I know MW loves creative fish terms. MW hates anything fishy! he's making me choose between you guys and groceries Will she or won't she? Dang it! We'll see you in a bit, BR. *** BabyRain is now known as NotRain MW, oh ye of little faith. Br should now be known as FrozenRain. Too many letters. too many letters jinx! Jinx! Jinx again! double jinx cut that out! Jinx to infinity!!! And beyond. I can outjinx you anyday, MW!] NyetRain? Monkey Woman has special Jinx powers! I have *other* special powers. :) * THELaLa flaps her tail and shakes her head sadly, she learned that fact too late. So does MW! When was the last time you used yours? I knew there had to be another reason for the stamina effect. heheheh I don't use my other powers and tell. I'm a lady. :) I knew it wasn't inherent. snort *** NotRain changes topic to "We're trying to keep it clean -- honest!" Did Doug make it? Up the driveway? Up the driveway? No. jinx :) Cosmic karma abounds tonight. Cosmic karma abounds tonight. I'm not getting involved in this jinx fest. Good thing Jeff and/or Bill haven't shown. Couldn't have had as much fun. Well, talking anyway. What should I do, guys? I don't want to leave, but heaven knows when he'll be home again. Lala, can I quote you on that? Let him sit in your lap as you talk. *** GMonkey changes topic to "Goils Night Out" Of course, you realize I'm gonna post all this. :) How about Goils Freak Out That still doesn't get groceries Bien sur. I really hope you don't, MW. Well, if everybody leaves us, we'll have nothing to post. :( decisions... How long will you guys be on? Hey, he might never make it up the driveway. Doug can sit on your lap and join in the conversation. He'll put on his crampons and walk up. He parked outfront and is inside His what?? I'll stick around for another hour or so, just in case somebody else shows up. A resourceful Canuck. LaLa will keep MW company since there's no package to rush home to. Poor LaLa. And for her sparkling personality too. I'll live. Nice touch. Sure, try to suck up, LaLa! The tail is a constant reminder to be servile. :0 Although, actually, I'm beginning to like it. BR, close your mouth! BR, what have you got in your mouth? Ferme la bush! BR, you need to stick around in case Jeff calls for help. 1 sec Actually there are two secs. GM, you still there? Yep! You sure? So, now what do we do? You're our leader, you decide and I follow. Whimper, whimper. Okay, I've got an original idea. Let's talk about the show. I'm back. That was quick. * GMonkey thinks of something else to add, but remembers to keep it clean I didn't go. He's going by himself. MW is relieved. * NotRain is worried What show? :P Why is NotRain worried. It's really bad out there Must he go? Yes. We need salt If there's any left. For ze driveway? driveway and front walk We have to look after the mailman, eh? I thought you were afraid of him. I'm afraid of him falling down and hurting himself And suing you? Second season ideas ... We don't sue as much here. Okay. Good, can I come live there? I hear sirens That's because the US has all the lawyers. :) Stop that! Lawyers eat their young. Second season ideas... * THELaLa can't seem to get into second season ideas. volcanic outgassing Do you think they would have done anything about the war, or would the show have stayed in 1938? * THELaLa apologizes for her lack of enthusiasm. Snow in Noragora? Noragora?! boragora * THELaLa really can't get into this. * THELaLa is abjectly sorry. * NotRain is worried about Doug/ May I be excused for a few minutes? Okay, think of second season Corky ideas. why? To answer Jeff's e-mail. Sure, rub it in. Yeah, rub it in. I'm not rubbing it...hey, we're supposed to keep this clean you said. Hey!!! Please, just a few minutes and I'll come right back? Just go talk to Jeff. AND KEEP IT CLEAN! Okay, thanks, BRB. So, let's talk about the show, BR. *** NotRain is now known as BebeRain You're getting sillier. I'm getting seperate. desperate. Can't type. :) Is he still bothering you? Time to get my personalities integrated again. :) Yes, he's still bothering me. Isn't there someone in charge who can boot him off? It It's not that kind of bothering. I'm just avoiding him so I don't have tolisten to him whine. Whatever. So do you think the TOTGM ever would have moved into 1939? I think so. But I think they would have done it slowly Yeah, probably. I don't think they ever would have moved the show completely into the war, say 1940. Do the Marivellas actually exist? Where's Bill? Nope. I didn't think so. Dunno. Maybe he's still working. And Leanne is ...? Maybe I should e-mail him. She's probably still working on her project. She warned me that she might not make it. Okay. I think we're going to have to postpone the chats until after the holidays. Really? Start again after the New Year. Do you think the three of us can go that long? We'll always have e-mail. Of course, I won't be able to make it for awhile, probably. You're the one who told me you would probably be working. Yup. I know. Besides, we're not exactly getting a high turnout, are we? But if you get too high a turn-out, it just gets confusing. But just the three of us is pretty boring. No offense. And you'll probably be working. :( People are just really busy this time of year. LaLa should have been back by now. Maybe she got a lot of email Maybe she's dreaming about YKW. :) Maybe. This is going to be the most pathetic chat log to date. Hey! LOOK! It's an alien spacecraft!!!!! * BebeRain points frantically Been there. Done that. :) :p I guess we really should discuss the show. That would explain a lot, Patricia. Just where did you think Monkey Women came from? :) But we've discussed most of our ideas in email. Planet of the Apes? I know, but we should share something for the rest of the folks. Don't make me slap you! :) Like what? I dunno. How tall is JM? Did we ever find that out? Maybe we can ask him if he shows up. Hey, we can talk about Jake's insensitivity. Better known as "You go, girl!" Okay. Jake could be quite insensitive at times. You're not into the spirit of this. What was thatscene yo liked? Yes I am. I'm just worried about Doug. I'm trying to keep your mind off Doug. It was the scene with the nasty businessman, right? Yes, when he invites Sarah for a drink and she accepts right in front of Jake. He was so crushed. Hee, hee, hee! Right. And the one I liked was when she catches Jake and Genevieve in an embrace and lets Jake know she has other concerns that are more important than him. Can you think of any other examples? It was nice to see that he got put in his place a couple of times. There are many more examples of jealous Sarah than there are the other Sarah. Well, in 'Black Pearl' when he gives Sarah a dress as a present when he thinks she's fooling around with Johnny Kimble. That was pretty cool. I don't remember that one. It's been 14 years. When I get my good copy of that episode, I'll send it to you. Okay. Thanks! I should be getting it soon. In the meantime, read the script. I think it's the next one for me to read. I'm reading them in order. It's the third episode. Okay. :) So what other scenes do you like? They don't have to be about Jake getting put in his place. * THELaLa is back and glad to be. I liked the mask thing in Naka Jima Kill. It was nice to see Jake goof off. Where were you, LL? There you are! :) * THELaLa guesses that JM is probably 5' 9 1/2" or 5' 10" My height Answering Jeff's e-mail properly. Ah. Are you that tall, BR? What did he ask, if we may ask. He's not coming, is he? Yeah, I'm 5'10" or so Wow, I'm the shortest of us three and am used to being one of the tallest. Weird. I thought we were about the same height. Jeff answered my e-mail of last Wednesday and in response early I asked if he was joining the chat. He hasn't answered. I guess he's not coming. :( Well, I'm actually 5' 7 1/2" and aren't you 5' 8"? My mom's 5' 10" Depending on who's measuring. :) My Mom's 5'3" Yeah, about 5'8". GM's mom was short too, right? My Mom was around 5'1" and my dad's 5'4". Itty bitty parents. :) How did you stretch? How tall is BR's dad? Looking up at Jake!! My height. The medieval torture device in the basement. :) Tall grandparents somewhere. One tall grandparent. The other 3 were itty bitty grandparents. :) BTW, Jeff asked for my address again, so I think it's fair to say the package may not get mailed until after the holiday. Which holiday? We can wait, can't we, goils? Yup. Of course. Our Thanksgiving. Ah. You late-bloomers. :) Then we get into super busy times and lines at the post office. Double Yuck!! I hope he knows about priority mail. You should have mentioned it in your e-mail. Can I priority mail to you in Canada, BR? I think so. Too tired. Hope what I did say was coherent. GM, you ever priority mail to Canada? Maybe we should call it a night. No. I'm not sure if you can. Maybe 15 more minutes, how's that? Otay. Let's go to the half hour. I'll try my best to last that long. We could cut it shorter, I guess. You two weren't naughty at all while I was gone! It doesn't look like anybody else is going to show up. We actually tried to stick to the subject at hand. Well, I figure if no one else shows by 15 after, they won't. * BebeRain is feeling substandard you're too good. Not substandard. What were some of your favorite scenes, LL? Favorite scenes? You know, scenes from this TV show called Tales of the Gold Monkey? You heard of the show? Oh, didn't know what you meant. *** Corky (boink@72.san-francisco-008.ca.dial-access.att.net) has joined #TOTGM Is that the one with Frank Buck? Hey, Jeff! Hi gang! Never mind. Now this is more like it. :) Hiya, Jeff. Didn't think I'd make it. *** THELaLa sets mode: +o Corky We've been all alone for over an hour. Glad you did. NO. It was horrible!! Where's Bill? Still lost, I guess. Let me e-mail him. No idea. BRB Thanks, GM. What a week... haven't stopped. Been busy? Sounds like you were super busy. I even had a crash on my comp. Yikes. Virus? Hardware? Happens. No, I'm constantly trying beta stuff and fooling with the cosmetics of the darn thing... just to keep myself amused... but sooner or later I pay the price. Beta stuff? Software. BRB Well, I'm back. brb The name won't change my status. It knows who you are. Did you find Bill? They're all leaving us! I e-mailed him. Let's wait and see. For what it's worth, I'm still here. Yippee. Thanks, I needed that. Whatever floats your boat. *** BebeRain has quit IRC (Going to get more Diet Pepsi!!!) Got a new job, so to speak. What? Doing some coordination work for a summer residency program next year. Back. Talked to Steve today. GM is all ears. How's he doing? How're you doing, Jeff? How're you doing, LaLa? Busy but fine. Busy but fine. You're turn, LaLa. LaLa is falling asleep, but fine. Are we boring you? Would you like me to pinch you or something? Not a good sign when I refer to myself in the third person. No, definitely NOT bored. LaLa, did you get my email from this afternoon? You're becoming more and more like Bob Dole every day. :) Yes, and sent two responses. A short one and a long one. Thank you so much. I just walked in and haven't had a chance to check. *** BebeRain (babyrain@ts2-sj-27.mis.ca) has joined #TOTGM You're welcome! Welcome back, BR. Storm's getting really bad It's about time you came back. Did you lose power? I love stormy weather. *** GMonkey sets mode: +o BebeRain (not a music cue) The ice on my power line is about two inches thick It's an ice storm. Me too, the stormier the better. Oklahoma has some way cool ice storms. That's because you two don't have to deal with the evil ice. Have you killed your mailman, LaLa? I like stormy weather too but I don't like when it interferes with chatting. :) But it all melts rather quickly. I do and have. No, Jeff, I don't mess with mailmen. You have principles. I have a long story.... :P Jeff, how tall are you? 5'9" Oh, tell us the story, LaLa. It would be great for the site. :) Good call, Lala! Yeah... You've heard the story, evil one. What story? (blink-blink) You too, BR!! Me, evil? :) * GMonkey bats her eyelashes innocently They're teasing me Jeff cause it's a very embarassing story. Okay, so moving on... I think you'd better tell him or else he'll feel left out, Lala. Write it to me in an email. I'll send it to him via e-mail, not during the log. I understand. :) Darn it! I never get anything good to post. :( I never can remember how to spell embarassing. No more fan-fic for you, missy. :( Bad word for ME to be confused about. Thanks for pointing out I misspelled it. :) I'm not even sure you did. Yes I did. I think it's two r's and two s's. Very good, BR you are correct. * BebeRain takes a bow. I read the post by Lorie... very complimentary. That was great!! It was. Those girls were real devotees. She is a very astute person. Are, Jeff, are. Too bad she doesn't have regular e-mail access. Thanks LaLa... you may be prejudiced. Yeah. Not me. :) Where is she? Who? Earlysville, VA Lorie. She usually uses her local library to send out e-mail or browse the web. Doug made it up the driveway. It's snowing. She sent me the book they wrote when the show was still on. I don't think she would have access to IRC. She has an autographed picture of Jeff. She does? MW says she does. I'll send you Lorie's P.O. Box address if you want it, Jeff. OK thanks. The picture is dated 7/23/83, so you're forgiven for not remembering. Didn't you say that MW? Monkey Woman never lies. Those were good days, MW. She is, however, sometimes very creative with the truth. Hmmm. I'm sure they were. They were pretty good for me too. Jeff do you still ever see Robert Ginty? Haven't in a long time. Last time was at a golf tournament in Tulsa. Years ago. He directed an episode of Lois and Clark last weekend, which I only watched cause Drew Carey was the guest star. There's more money in directing than acting... unless you're a star. More money in writing too. But which is more fun? ACTING. I thought so. Got your JAG guest spot lined up yet? :) No, but I'll see Don after the holiday. They still have about 8 more to shoot. MW, BR, you two jump in any time! :) Why? You're doing a good job all by yourself. :) Let's not just talk about me... Besides, BR probably went to check on Doug. * THELaLa can't think of anything better to talk about. [blush] Okay, did SC say anything about eventually joining in on a chat? To be honest, I think we're running low on ideas. MW, not a chance. Oh sorry. :) He didn't really have time to talk. He's called about 4 times and missed me until now and then they called him away. Poor guy. Well, he should be done shooting for the season pretty soon, eh? I wish I had those problems. Don't we all? :) Really, poor guy, indeed. They got picked up for the rest of the season. Maybe next season I'll be able to get it here. The total for the first year will be the full 22. He said the ratings have steadily increased. Of which I've seen one. Always a good sign. Indeed. Poor LaLa. Doesn't get real TV out in the sticks. :) * GMonkey ducks! On GM, they picked us up for 3-4 at a time. * THELaLa is too nice to retaliate. After the first 13, that is. (In front of witnesses0 Poor Monkey That's horrible, Jeff. Well, the WB Network can afford to be generous and patient. Frustrating. Weenies. Yeah, WEENIES!!! True enough. They also have Spelling's name behind them. No doubt. Hard to plan anything. And anything that Aaron wants, Aaron gets. That didn't help Models Inc Nothing could help Models Inc! True. :) So did Doug make it in all right? * BebeRain cracks open the Diet Pepsi Yup. Looks that way. I told Steve that in another couple of years, he'll be out to buy Spelling's house. Well, if you've got DP, I guess he did. :) Who'd want that? Just think of all those bathrooms to clean. Yuck! If Steve feels the need to adopt someone, give him my name, okay? You could always hire Guatemala to clean up. Snort. lol Bill's still MIA. Maybe we should put out an APB. Hope I didn't send you too much rain, Jeff. Not enough. I'd send more, but would feel guilty about any resultant mud slides. I'm going to the mountains tomorrow for the weekend. Maybe it'll snow! Do you ski? Ah! The S word!!! Not successfully. Well, please be very careful. I ski on my face. I have to hang tires around my body like a tugboat. BR, sounds painful. It is. I've lived in New England just about all my life and I've never once been skiing. If you keep from breaking limbs that way, good. That is a bizarre image It's a bizarre experience. Of course, I've never once broken any part of my body either. Try going down a luge run backwards. Yikes Vewy scary. Wow... now there's a thought. I hit a tree with my head once while sliding. But you probably already figured that, eh? Kept wondering what my head was going to smash into at the end. It explains a lot. :) I thought it was a culmulative DP effect, BR. I don't like sledding of any kind. I just keep thinking of "Ethan Frome". That too. Just kidding. :) * GMonkey likes to throw in literary allusions to give the appearance of culture Ever been to eastern canada, Jeff? Toronto for a KUNG FU - THE LEGEND CONTINUES. I wanted to shoot a picture I wrote with my partner in Montreal. He grew up there and loves it. Ever been to MacKay, Idaho? BRB Don't you mean, 'Idaho, MacKay?' No. I'm afraid I've got to go, lovely ladies. Lotsa stuff to do before tomorrow. :( I'll do my best to be here next week. GM is not fooling anybody. Till then... hasta la vista. I'll get to your email now, Les. You were in an episode of that?! *** Corky has quit IRC (Changing servers) Toronto doesn't count. :) * THELaLa kicks herself, and can't believe she missed it. I had a dream last night that we had the GM convention here and in the dream ytou said you'd been here before, so I was just curious. :) Montreal is a beautiful city. Oh sure, the second I return, Jeff leaves! Thanks for coming by! Thank you, kind sir. Bye! :) GM, you there? Ya snooze, ya lose. He didn't want to hurt your feelings. Ya sure! Great, I get to leave just in time for rush hour traffic. Bleah. So do you want to wrap up our chat by 8:00. That's 9 to you, BR and 5 to you, LL. I think I'll leave now and avoid the traffic. If that's okay, of course. Okay, we'll end this now. Thanks, monkey mom. Nobody else is going to show I think. Okay with you, BR? Awful late for new arrivals. sure Do you think we should try another chat next week? Or should we just wait until after the new year? Sorry you didn't have time to expand on your dream explanations to Jeff, BR. :) That's quite okay. I think I scared him away. If I didn't, I probably would have, :) He probably could have answered that question you had about SC too. I would hope not. Sure. Sure. I'm not going anywhere. One more time. SURE. I'll see if I can get out of Tuesd nights Let me know. We can always hold the chat on a night you're off. We're pretty flexible. Thanks, but if you need to change, please advise and I'll see what I can do. Just about anything works for me. Okay, then we're semi-settled then. Take care, everybody. Gotta run before they turn off the printer. See ya!! *** THELaLa has quit IRC (Leaving) I'll let you get back to your DP and your hubby, BR. Have a good night. Okaay. ttyl?
