<NateBeingABadNetizen> And then there was the time he climbed to the top
shelf of the pantry and discovered the box of catnip
tea...
<NateBeingABadNetizen> When we got home there were torn up bags of catnip
tea strewn all over the kitchen floor
<NateBeingABadNetizen> And one zonked out cat in the corner
<PeterJF> and right on cue, the alley cats are having it off

* Alden gurns
* DoctorWho gorns
* Alden looks around for Nate. Where's he gorn?
* Alryssa gurns
<Alryssa> pop-gorn?
<DoctorWho> Pop gorns the weasel?
<Arthur_the_Aardvark> weasily done
<Alden> I never could work out that rhyme. Did weasels used to be
inflatible?
* Alryssa o.O
<Alden> *BANG!* "Shit, stepped on another one"
Oct 3 [02:48]
* Alden looks at spam. Free HGH! What is HGH?
<Alden> apparently it makes you lose weight, reverse aging, and build
muscle
<DoctorWho> And takes out the garbage too
<Alden> so give it to a baby, and you end up with arnold Schwarzenembryo
Oct 3 [18:37]
<AudioBoy> Whom: Well, I'll be happy to send it to you. I guess you won't
need the software CDs, since they're for PC.
<Whomiga> I'll take them anyway - they don't weigh much - and I do have PC
Scsi interfaces sitting around
<Whomiga> I could use it in another PC, if I get around to building my
other box
<AudioBoy> Okay. Well, how about I ship you everything first and that way I
can give you a shipping total.
<Whomiga> I'm sounding more and more like Nate everyday :-)

<MegL> the tv coverage of the hurricane is almost nil
<Totally_Drained_Dalek> Meg: Wait til it makes landfall in the morning.
<Jondar> where's it expected to make landfall?
<MegL> Louisiana
<Totally_Drained_Dalek> Meg: They may have trouble getting people to the
landfall point between the storm surge and the
swamp.
<MegL> well they told everyone to get out of there already
<MegL> it sounded like they were having more trouble getting the people not
raised around there out than the true locals as well, though that
might be a accidental media slant
<MegL> but Weather channel was talking to someone who wasn't going to leave
and he had a scottish accent
* MegL wondered why he thought he could deal with 140+ winds
<Alryssa> Meg: I call it natural selection ;)
<Alden> I call it airbourne scots
<Alryssa> Darwin's theory in motion.
<Alryssa> Like, 140mph kind of motion
<Alden> motion being the operative word. :)
...
<SeriousJ> you know, with those kilts, I would ahve thought Scots would be
a bit more sensative about blowing winds
<RedHatNate> Gives new meaning to the term windsurfing....
<Jondar> "Survival Of Those-Who-Resist-Hurricane-Force-Winds"
<Totally_Drained_Dalek> Alden: More like Scottish Tumbleweed.
<Alden> Nate: I'm visualising that scene in "Twister" with the cow flying
past, only instead it's a scotsman puffing away on the bagpipes
<MegL> lol
<Totally_Drained_Dalek> LOL!
<Jondar> ... and you can see under his kilt! >:-)
<RedHatNate> ROTFL
...
<Jondar> of course... tornado meets bagpipes... bags of wind would probably
get along fine... >:-)
...
* Jondar mallets keyboard again... it's "Wendy" not "Wenday"!
<Alden> I thought it was Thursday
<Totally_Drained_Dalek> Jondar: Are you sure it's not Windy?

* DirtyOldMan looks around
<DirtyOldMan> I need to defrag my room
<Alden> Same here
<DirtyOldMan> hm.
<DirtyOldMan> Defrag sounds like what happens to a monster in Doom in
Nightmare mode...
* Alden tries to run Norton's Speed Disk on his room
<DirtyOldMan> Error: Unsupported filesystem type
* Alden watches it pile everything against one wall
...
<Alden> well, that *did* maximise the free space...
<DirtyOldMan> Yeah, but it didn't exactly optimize access to the existing
data ^_^
Oct 4 [04:56]
<PeterJF> i need to defrag my life
<Alden> Peter: Your life is already defragged - all the used days are at
one end.
<Whomiga> Why don't you just frag your life and get it over with
* PeterJF kills everyone in the channel
*** DirtyOldMan is now known as DirtyOldCorpse
<PeterJF> i need to defrag my life's work
<DirtyOldCorpse> Theta-G? ^_^
* PeterJF kills nathan again
<PeterJF> stab stab stab
<PeterJF> chop chop chop
*** DirtyOldCorpse is now known as DirtyOldPieces
<PeterJF> *flamethrower*
*** DirtyOldPieces is now known as DirtyOldAshes
<PeterJF> slice slice slice
<PeterJF> garnish garnish garnish
<PeterJF> damn. overcooked
<DirtyOldAshes> He's thrown everything but the kitchen sink at me (and I
suspect that's next)
<PeterJF> no. have the pipes first
<PeterJF> *impale*
<PeterJF> now for the sink
* PeterJF looks at the sky
<PeterJF> let 'er go!
<PeterJF> *release*
<PeterJF> *fall*
<PeterJF> *KERRRASH*
<DirtyOldAshes> The question at this point is, is there anything left of me
for him to throw shit /at/?
* PeterJF idly sprays acid at the remnants
*** DirtyOldAshes is now known as DirtyOldPuddleOfMush
* PeterJF partially puts his thumb over the water hose and washes the
channel
* DirtyOldPuddleOfMush is washed out into the gutter
<DirtyOldPuddleOfMush> ahhhhh, no place like home
Oct 4 [05:18]
* PeterJF stares at Mac OS' internet file extention mapping
<PeterJF> why
<PeterJF> is
<PeterJF> there
<PeterJF> no
<PeterJF> entry
<PeterJF> for
<PeterJF> TXT FILES!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
<Alden> cheese
<DoctorWho> o_O
* PeterJF says to Mac OS:
<PeterJF> DO I LOOK LIKE I WANT TO EMBRACE THE BOLD FUTURE OF MANAGING MY
ONLINE CONTENT IN BINARY!?
<PeterJF> NO!
<PeterJF> I think I will install MacAss so I can enjoy watching my OS fail
to locate it with both hands
<DoctorWho> ROTFLMAO
* DoctorWho suddenly envisions a joke icon for the Windows desktop
<DoctorWho> My Ass
...
<PeterJF> it's not like i'm asking it to make the HUGE intuitive leap of
understanding that html files are text. no. but in 2002 you'd
think an OS could HAVE A FUCKING CLUE WHAT A TEXT FILE IS ABOUT
<DoctorWho> The guys at Apple got themselves some good shit there
<Alden> perhaps it's wondering if you mean Mac, Unix or Dos format text
file. :)
<PeterJF> of course, i could make three clicks and map .txt but i feel
better for having griped
* PeterJF chokes Alden by tipping a sack of linefeeds down his throat
Oct 8 [00:07]
* ArtieEffem sees that the image on his monitor is starting to go
off-center :/
<Alden> Does this help?
[Fwap!]

<Alryssa> cereal killing... $4 for frosties. yeesh
<Alden> $4? Far out!
<Alden> they put gold in the frosting or something?
<Alryssa> They should, at that price.
<Alden> There's a frabreze egg at the bottom
<Whomiga> faberge, you mean? :-)
<Kiri`> fabreze? the dry cleanign sutff.. keeps it fresh ;)
<Alden> poke fun not at my spelling. :)
* Alryssa giggles
<Alden> bloody Frech spellings...
<Alden> er, french
* Alden quits while he's not ahead
Oct 9 [01:24]
<Alden> Why do they call America the free world anyway? I've been there.
it's expensive
Oct 10 [01:19]
<ArtieEffem> Blue Pepsi... I bought a 20oz bottle at the store a couple
months ago
<ArtieEffem> The checker commented that it looked like Windex
<ArtieEffem> I said, for all I know that's what it tastes like.
<ArtieEffem> I was right.
Oct 10 [22:54]
<PeterJF> my HD's keep sleeping and waking <robin leach>AND I DON"T KNOW
WHY</robin leach>
<NathanR> They're narcoleptic?
<PeterJF> I doubt that, because
<PeterJF> zzzzzzzzzz
<PeterJF> sorry, where was I?
Oct 10 [22:59]
<PeterJF> hey dave, mossy told me about cmd-v on bootup
<dha> uh... I forget what that does...
* dha hasn't gotten all the start up keystrokes down yet...
<PeterJF> verbose - it shows the dos-like bootup of OS X instead of the
apple logo
<PeterJF> or rather, unix-like :-)
<dha> but it's BSD-like, not dos-like. :-)
<NathanR> Actually, unix-like is probably closer to the truth
<PeterJF> snap
<NathanR> Brain.
<dha> BRANES!
<dha> "What do we want??"
<dha> "BRANES!!"
<dha> "When do we want it??"
<dha> "BRANES!!"

<Alden> Unreal2003 works on my 'puter. ^_^
<Greebo_T_Cat> Alden: that puts you in the minority
<Greebo_T_Cat> :)
<Alden> Hehehehe
<Arthur_THE_Aardvark> oh - it's as user friendly as NWN then...?
<ZygonC> I take it there are issues with Unreal2003?
<Alden> no idea
<Alden> Works on my computer, so I'm happy as shit
<Greebo_T_Cat> Arthur_THE_Aardvark: Actually i got NWN to work first
time.... and the UT2003 Beta.
<Greebo_T_Cat> But UT2003 full? HAHAHAHAHA
<Greebo_T_Cat> This is their copyright protection. if noone can play it,
noone can pirate it
<DoctorWho> Ash: This is why I like to use the term 'usage protection'
<DoctorWho> Protects the vendor from you using it
<DoctorWho> Of course, it doesn't protect them from you giving them money
for it
<DoctorWho> That's the ultimate business model of course. Taking in money
without having to give back any actual product.
<Greebo_T_Cat> I'm amazed MS havn't used it fully...
<Greebo_T_Cat> "They cannot find any errors, if we don't let them install
the software!"
<DoctorWho> Ash: Just you wait.
<Greebo_T_Cat> "Bwaha! Excellent... Now for my next trick, i shall steal
some candy from a baby..."
<Greebo_T_Cat> "And then charge it 3 times the amount for the same candy 2
years later, but with holes in it...."
* DoctorWho is surprised XP hasn't turned out the same way
<Greebo_T_Cat> Nate: I'm shocked. XP is proving almost stable... insofar as
windows goes anyway. at least on par with 2k
<ZygonC> XP Pro is stable as far as Windows go
<DoctorWho> Ash: Oh My God kinda stable you mean?
<Greebo_T_Cat> Nate: pretty much.
<ZygonC> Have Win2k with SP3 installed at home. Often had my PC up and
running for upto a week without crashes
<Greebo_T_Cat> maybe with a full stop at the end
<DoctorWho> Wow.
<Greebo_T_Cat> SP3's stability depends on your hardware...
<Greebo_T_Cat> in my experience, as long as you don't use your hardware,
SP3 is stable.
<DoctorWho> I couldn't even get SP3 to install
<Greebo_T_Cat> Theres the 'Can't use can't complain' policy in action
<DoctorWho> Point
<ZygonC> Really? didn't know that. Seems stable enough to me. Did have to
disable the autoupdate feature after installing SP3 though due to
changes made by Bill
<Greebo_T_Cat> "Microsoft: We ate the people your parents warned you
about."
<Greebo_T_Cat> and no, that was not a typo
Oct 11 [03:22]
<Greebo_T_Cat> This school is blessed with the most dangerous type of
computer user... the person who *thinks* they know what they
are doing....
<ZygonC> I still remember the support call I had from a user once who said
he was using Windows 95, Apple Macintosh version :)
<Greebo_T_Cat> I had to point out where the ctrl key was to the head of IT
yesterday...
<Greebo_T_Cat> 'Duuuuh, my computer won't let me log on...'
<Greebo_T_Cat> 'have you pressed alt+ctrl+del?'
<Greebo_T_Cat> 'muuuuuuuh... i dunno....'
<Greebo_T_Cat> and that was just the teachers.
<StaticShadow> how old are these kids? :)
<Greebo_T_Cat> the pupils couldn't form sentances. they just grunted and
banged rocks together

* DoctorWho ponders gentoo
<Alden> gentoo?
<DoctorWho> Alden: It's a version of Linux that works by basically
compiling everything from scratch
<DoctorWho> which begs the question...
<DoctorWho> Is a Gentoo user called a...
<DoctorWho> Gentoolman?
[Fwap!]

* NathanR2 discovered something about real bacon this morning
<NathanR2> As opposed to turkey bacon
<NathanR2> It's nothing but fat!
<Alryssa> Yes, it is
<Alryssa> Brit bacon is so much better....
<Alryssa> Turkey bacon is good.
<Alryssa> I almost died when I saw how you Yanks cut bacon. Good *grief*.
<NathanR2> I took 4 inch and a half-wide strips, microwaved them for 2
minutes, and when they came out they were about half an inch
wide
<Alryssa> "Where's the pork?"
...
<Alryssa> Nate: a proper bacon sarny is a bacon sarny that actually
contains about half a side of pig
<NathanR2> LOL
<Alryssa> I get all carnivorous just thinking about it.
<Alryssa> Roar, and all that.
<Greebo_T_Cat> i used an entire pack of bacon in the sandwich for thete...
<Alryssa> Ash was obviously attempting to kill Peter with a protein
overload
<Alryssa> What have I told you about killing your brother? Don't get grease
stains on the carpet!
<Alryssa> Most bacon sarnies only require about 4 slices of bacon at
most... well, in my case, anyway
<NathanR2> For a proper one or an improper one?
<Alryssa> That would be decent. For indecent, see: Ash
Oct 18 [08:05]
<SteveBreon> I have just added a new reason to why I will never join a
fraternity.
<NathanR> Steve: Besides the usual dumbassery you mean?
<SteveBreon> My roommate wanted to be back at midnight last night to study
for his Bio test today. Instead he got drunk off his ass, in
fact I can smell the alcohol on his clothes in our dorm room,
overslept, I woke him up 6 minutes ago when I got back from
class. He had a bio test at 9. :)
<SteveBreon> I know it is so terrible, but I am ... not happy, but laughing
my ass off. Poetic justice is a wonderful thing.
<NathanR> Ah, the usual dumbassery then ^_^
<TomFODW> you don't have to belong to a frat to get yourself shitfaced
<NathanR> But it certainly helps ^_^
<AudioBoy> Steve: That's how college prepares you for life. You learn that
nothing is as important as getting drunk off your ass and paying
for it by missing an important deadline.
Oct 18 [13:39]
<Greebo_T_Cat> well, with so many people selling 'genereic' viagra, they're

<Greebo_T_Cat> loitering with intent to hock-a-loogie

<Greebo_T_Cat> Interactive sensory response system: This system is composed
of sensors embedded in the Realdoll's breasts, vaginal and
anal entries. The doll is connected via an ethernet cable
(up to 100') to your PC, and when the various sensors are
triggered by activity, the doll will respond with sensor
specific audio.
<Greebo_T_Cat> BWAHAHAHAH
<Greebo_T_Cat> HAHAHAHAHAHA
<SteveBreon> LOL
<Greebo_T_Cat> ok, as funny as the mental image of someone trying to shag
one of these things is, the image of someone trying to shag
one of these things with an ethernet cable hanging out of it
is even funnier...
...
<Greebo_T_Cat> if it was a shemale would it require a crossover cable?
...
<random_C> someone went on Jerry springer complaining his friend had been
shagging his girlfriend, and when they brought the GF on, it was
a realdoll

<PeterJF> strom and jesse are leaving the building next month folks. can we
get an amen please
<Greebo_T_Cat> pete: real doll can give you aman

<Shel> man, is my computer fucked...
<random_C> shel - windows?
<Shel> no, winamp did it
<Greebo_T_Cat> in the study with the candlestick?
<DoctorWho> Ash: Um... At first I connected that comment with "man, is my
computer fucked" and not "winamp did it"...
