<MegL> what are you looking for up there Alden?
<Alden> had to change the light bulb

	 f***ing face, Uncle F***er" in the style of "I am the Doctor"
<MegL> well it could be worse, they could be impersonating shatner doing it

   is doing on the laundry wall, trying to find a wall support stud
   to attach a shelf to
...
 * Jondar taps S-T-O-P-stop B-A-N-G-I-N-G-stop on the common wall :)

<Thete_Pinged> i would love to see a show where humans show up
	       occasionally and are often baddies
<PaulDoc> I think it's more than a little false the way people are not
	  only everywhere, but always the best and the main chracters,
	  and serve as the judge and jury to the practises of the
	  other species.
<PaulDoc> As if the human way is the only way, and the human mind is
	  the more mature mind, and that we know everything.
<Thete_Pinged> it pretty much comes back to "people prefer to take in
	       stories that are about peoplle"
 * Alden waves a "Bug-eyed monsters from Alpha Centauri are people too" sign
 * NathanR waves a "Small Furry Creatures from Alpha Centauri are
   people too" sign
 * Jondar waves a "hermaphrodite hexapods from Alpha Centauri are
   people too" sign :)

<Jondar> my sound card and speakers make biggun.wav ten times worse

<Jondar> "Steve Roberts of the Restoration Team made the announcement

	 Tenth Planet" part four will be full-length; instead of
	 including a CD with the package, the entire episode will be
	 reconstructed with audio for release on the tape. " -- from
	 Outpost Gallifrey
<Jondar> the first "official" missing episode recon? :)

       longer have a computer to receive it on

<El_Zoof> Do it more! Hijack buses and force them to watch Doctor Who!
<El_Zoof> Even better, force them to watch "Spock's Brain" until they
	  promise to watch Doctor Who!
<El_Zoof> "Please! No more Shatner! We'll even watch 'The Twi...'
	  er... okay, five more minutes of Shatner won't kill us..."

Fri Jun 16 [06:14]
<El_Zoof> Premise: "Spock's Brain" is worse than "The Twin Dilemma". Discuss.
<NathanR12345> Toss-up.  End of discussion.
<El_Zoof> Yes, both of them do make people toss-up... oh, that's not
	  what you meant? Sorry.

Fri Jun 16 [06:18]
<El_Zoof> Premise: The BBC sells Doctor Who to Paramount. What do
	  Paramount do with it?
<El_Zoof> A) Turn it into "Star Trek: Doctor Who"
<El_Zoof> B) Bury it
<El_Zoof> C) Turn it into "Married... with TARDIS"
<El_Zoof> I think I just gave myself nightmares.

Fri Jun 16 [08:03]

[Prof tells stories of his time as an usher at the Arco Arena]
<TheProf> The sick part was watching Barney the Dinosaur singing
	  Twisted Sister one time.
<CrowTRobt> no!
<NathanR> ROTFLMAO
<TheProf> Yeah Barney sang Twisted Sister.
<NathanR> I'd kill for a video of that
<CrowTRobt> ok god I got it in my head
<CrowTRobt> arrrrgh
<TheProf> It was between two shows and we were eating lunch. It was
	  "Barney on Tour" and Barney comes out and suddenly he's
	  singing along with Twisted sister.
<CrowTRobt> that voice just doesn't go with those songs!
<CrowTRobt> aaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
<Jondar> OK, I'll just go off in my own little ignorant world then... :)
<TheProf> I nearly choked to death laughing.
<CrowTRobt> I feel violated
<NathanR> I feel vindicated
<TheProf> I had this image in my mind of Barney starting this new
	  career as an opening act for Metalica
