<Whomiga> Ok, hands up those who wish to report Ash for discrimination ;-) 
<Guest14431> not me :) 
<Guest14431> and why would i want to stick my hand up some one who wants to 
             report ash? 
<RedQueen> more to the point, who's hand? if it's Frank Oz, I'm 
           volunteering... that man has talented hands 
[Cokespray!]

           observing spot will be central Argentina. 
<IdleEric> The next total eclipse for Toronto will be April 8, 2024 
<DrFaust> But I can't wait that long. I want to see an eclipse now!

<PeterTheGrape> shel's computer is like a cat that keeps bringing the same 
                poor mouse back in 
<PeterTheGrape> or, in this case, a sleeping shel 
<DoctorWho> An empty shel? 
<Alryssa> *facepalms* 
 * PeterTheGrape hands nate the fwapper 
<Lyssie> Self-abuse? 
<DoctorWho> *fwap* ooF 
 * DoctorWho hands it back 
<DoctorWho> And not the good kind. 
<PeterTheGrape> i just found that it's more important for nate to be 
                fwapped than for me to do the fwapping 

Dec 3 [23:48]
<AudioBoy> There's got to be a simple answer as to why the IDE Channel 1 
           port isn't working on this card. And I'm sure it's a simple 
           answer. 
<DoctorWho> And it's probably wrong ^_^ 
<AudioBoy> Nate: Yeah, it's probably 54. 

Dec 4 [23:00]
[Playing Musical Servers, again] 
 * NathanR3 joins everyone on Mesra 
<Alryssa> Good plan.

 * Alryssa detoNates 

Dec 4 [23:20]
 * Alryssa staples Nate to the room. Again. 
<PeterJF> owwwwwwww 
<PeterJF> owwwwwwww 
<PeterJF> owwwwwwww 
 * DoctorWho waits 
<Lyssie> Y'know, I've heard of Acupuncture, but never staples.... 
<DoctorWho> I've heard of staples. I got my printer there 
<PeterJF> does that mean nate's an acupunk? 
<DoctorWho> I won't fwap you if you won't fwap me.

<PeterJFI> hang on folks 
 * DoctorWho gets the noose

Dec 7 [21:47]
[Guam is in the middle of a hurricane] 
 * SupremeDalek notices that the radar imagery from Guam has stopped 
   updating 
 * SupremeDalek notes that the reasons for this lack of updates ranges from 
   temporary communications breakdown to the radar dish becoming airbourne 

Dec 8 [23:43]
 * DoctorWho finds a 360x226 AT&T logo... called "at&tsmall.jpg"

Dec 10 [15:08]
<dha> for ages, I said the travel business would be great if not for the 
      customers. Then I decided we needed to get rid of the customers *and* 
      the vendors. 
<dha> Then I moved into the back office doing computers and accounting and 
      decided that we also needed to get rid of the travel agents. 

Dec 11
<DoctorWho> "Nice going, Merlin" 
<DoctorWho> Abracawhatchmacadabracallit! 
 * Alryssa giggles at Nate 
<DoctorWho> Ryss: Do you have any idea how hard it was to figure out how to
            spell that? 
<Alryssa> Nate: *smirk* 
<DoctorWho> "That was easy enough" 
<Greebo_T_Cat> is nathan now speaking entirely in quotes? 
<Greebo_T_Cat> has the QF thing gone to his head? 
<Greebo_T_Cat> ;) 
... 
<DoctorWho> And ReBoot quotes, to (pardon the phrase) boot 

Dec 11
<Alryssa> I got a problem with this 'ere winmodem. The software crashes 
          while I'm using it at random. Now... I think I may have tracked 
          it down to it sharing an IRQ with my graphics driver. Should I 
          change it to one that's not being used? 
<SpooForBrains> yeah worth a try, but IRQs can be tricky buggers 
<SpooForBrains> what OS are you running? 
<Alryssa> 98 SE 
<SpooForBrains> tried totally uninstalling it and reinstalling it? then it 
                should reassign an IRQ and that might resolve the conflict 
<Alryssa> Yeah, I tried that. :-/ 
<Alryssa> Windows freaked out on me for about 15 minutes 
<Alryssa> "No, the modem is HERE! ARGH!": 

Dec 11
<PeterJF> I'm an officer-at-large of The Offical Bureau Of Thought 
          Measurement. Our 2002 scale ranges from "Huh?" to "Thought About 
          It Too Much" 

Dec 11
[Nate's working on the quotefile] 
<DoctorWho> right, that's the second logfile down 
<Alryssa> TIMMMMMBEEERRRRRR! 

Dec 11
<timeladymagdalene> I remember when I wanted to have an excuse to get a 
                    single room my sophomore year, my friend Andrea (fan) 
                    suggested that I tell the housing committee that I had 
                    chronic hysteresis 
<AudioBoy> *lol* 
<timeladymagdalene> I said, with my luck, I'd get the ONE FAN who'd know I 
                    was bollocksing 

Dec 11
 * smokeytimelady wonders if she can cleverly hide the words, 'screw you' 
   in a drawing ... 
<AudioBoy> You could draw a "screw" and a female sheep. ;) 

Dec 11
<Alryssa> Alden: Did you finish that Unreal Tournament level? 
<Alden> nope, I haven't really had time. >.< 
<Alden> haven't had much time to *play* UT, let along make levels for it. 
        :/ 
 * Alryssa figured 
<DoctorWho> "Hm. 42 + 69 - 1.44, carry the 6, borrow the 2, cross the t..." 
 * Alden carries the 6 
<Alden> Where do you want me to put this? 
 * NathanR points to the trash chute 
 * Alden trashes the 6 
<Whomiga> So, now we have trashy 6 in the channel? 
<Alden> yup 
<Alden> The best kind ;) 
<DoctorWho> Sounds like the name of a boy band... 
<DoctorWho> or girl band 
<Whomiga> Or fabulous 6? - Going in to get their album in a store... Do you 
          have fabulous 6? 

Dec 11
<Lyssie> Hey, we aim to please. 
<DoctorWho> Ana: That sounds like the name of an instant-messaging based
            internet sex service ^_^ 
<Lyssie> What a tempting concept. 
<Lyssie> "We AIM to please, for all your cyber fantasy needs!" 

Dec 11
<ComputerKiller> Ok, you know you're a geek when you look at a website logo 
                 that's got a string of binary numbers, and 
<ComputerKiller> a) Start checking to see if it says something 
<ComputerKiller> b) Within 5 seconds, recognize the fact that it's ASCII 
<ComputerKiller> c) Within 10 seconds, can tell what it says without 
                 looking up the code 
 * ComputerKiller grabs a butterfly net and goes chasing after his life 
<Alden> won't it go through the holes? :) 
 * Oh_sod_it darns the holes in his life 
<ComputerKiller> Darn them to Heck? 

Dec 11

Dec 11
 * DoctorWho suddenly discovers some tiny screws on his desk 
<DoctorWho> Where'd those come from? 
<DoctorWho> Oh wait, I remember 
 * MegL hopes not out of your head or it might fall off ;-) 
<DoctorWho> I may have a few loose screws but they're all internal 

Dec 11 [00:22]
[Nate accidentally disconnects himself from IRC] 
<DoctorWho> And now it's time to play "Can Nathan Keep His Keyboards 
            Straight?" 
<Jondar> Alt-F4 (Nathan disappears again)... "No, He Can't!" 

Dec 12 [21:28]
<DoctorWho> Sheesh, you get convienience stores in dorms? 
<DoctorWho> I live in a condo and I don't have a convienience store within 
            a mile 
<PeterJF> condo want arm and leg to live there 

Dec 14 [02:20]
<Shel> nate, have you been drinking? because you're typing worse than i am 
<DoctorWho> shel, are you on crack? 
<Shel> that's a bit of a personal question, isn't it... but yse, i'm 
       sitting on my ass 

Dec 15 [21:32]
<Alden> Our Prime Minister has come out today and stated she prefers the 
        Lord of the Rings books to the films. 
<Alden> Way to promote them, Helen! 

Dec 16 [23:40]
<PeterJF> If I saw dude knocked out with a bomb on his back, i'm not 
          totally sure I'd just assume the buckle in the front was a 
          detonator 
<PeterJF> especially if i didn't know a cyberbomb when i saw one (no, not 
          the whole story just the explosive devices in it) 

Dec 17 [20:43]
--> Alden has joined #DrWhoChat 
 * invincor is mysteriously cold and unaffectionate... aloof 
<Alden> aloof of bread? 
[Fwap!] 
... 
<Alden> sheesh, on IRC for 30 seconds and already my first fwap 
<Alden> must be a new record 
... 
<Whomiga> you haven't ever gotten a preemptive fwap (as soon as you came 
          in?) 

Dec 18 [01:51]
<Alryssa> It's YABB code, which I've never heard of 
<Alden> Ah, Yet Another Bulliten Board 
<Alryssa> It worked the other night... now it's screwed up again 
<Alden> I looked at that briefly when I wanted to switch my message boards 
        to use CGI 
<Alryssa> Ugh, don't. 
<Alden> I didn't. ^_^ 
<ComputerKiller> YABBa DABBa Do? 
<Alryssa> More like YABBa DABBa Don't. :P 

Dec 19 [15:23]
<Shel> i have this horrible philosophy about school right now... don't care 
       how i do as long as it gets done 
<Shel> and i went into the final exam with the lowest possible grade for 
       the class as a C, so not worried about failing 
<Shel> basically, if i get an A on the test, i get an A in the class... 
<Shel> if i fail the test, i get a C 
<gordon-r-d> and a C is a pass? 
<Shel> so either way... i pass! 
<Shel> A, B, C, D, F... only F is failing 
<gordon-r-d> oh well, your lack of concern is understandable then :) 
<MarkyD> I had a similar approach to my dissertation - if I scraped a pass, 
         a got a 2:1 overall - if I got 100%, I still got a 2:1 - guess 
         what I aimed for? ;-) 
<gordon-r-d> heck, in that scenario I'd just sit there and flick boogers at 
             the backs of the heads of those sitting in front of me 

Dec 19 [16:09]
<Shel> but i don't think i'm that overweight! 
<Shel> or am i deluded? 
<gordon-r-d> you don't look overweight to me... 
<Greebo_T_Cat> take off your shirt. we'll give you an honest opinion, right 
               guys? 

Dec 19 [18:54]
<EBCorp> Good grief... the BBC News has discovered the passage of time 
<EBCorp> It says here, 'Discovery of the Year'... http://news.bbc.co.uk 
... 
 * TomFODW would fwap eric, but it would only encourage him 
... 
 * EBCorp plans to come to Gallifrey one day earlier 
<TomFODW> earlier than what? 
<TomFODW> and why should we care? ;) 
 * EBCorp would fwap TomFODW, but it would only encourage him 
... 
 * TomFODW fwaps eric for not fwapping me - i need all the encouragement i 
   can get 

Dec 19 [22:03]
<dha> you don't have my email address? I thought everyone had my email 
      address... 
<dha> oh, no, wait. that's just the people who want my penis to be 
      larger... 

Dec 20 [21:37]
