2008-01-02 01:28 < SNORLAX> [[Chocolate Rain]] go
2008-01-02 01:28 < ronabop> I was "supposed" to be a forest ranger or a race car mechanic, so I went into programming.
2008-01-02 01:29 < The359> race car mechanic?
2008-01-02 01:29 < The359> asshole
2008-01-02 01:29 * The359 wants a job like that
2008-01-02 01:29 < bumm13> I have zero mechanical skills, basically
2008-01-02 01:29 < ronabop> WP:NPA :P
2008-01-02 01:29 < Scottc> lol race car mechanic
2008-01-02 01:30 < The359> fuck NPA ;)
2008-01-02 01:30 < Scottc> when I was in HS some guys from some "race car mechanic school" came to our school advertising.
2008-01-02 01:30 < Scottc> at least I think it was something like that :)
2008-01-02 01:30 < Scottc> I didn't listen much.
2008-01-02 01:30 < The359> they have schools for that
2008-01-02 01:31 < The359> the same guys who do the Marine motors school
2008-01-02 01:31 < The359> and Automotive Tech
2008-01-02 01:32 < ronabop> The test didn't seem to know what to make of engineering skills, solitude, and attention to detail. *shrug*
2008-01-02 01:33 < Scottc> bah
2008-01-02 01:33 < Scottc> why the hell is chocolate rain an internet meme?
2008-01-02 01:33 < The359> it's awesome?
2008-01-02 01:34 < Scottc> whats awesome about it?
2008-01-02 01:34 < bumm13> me-me-me-me-me-me-meme!
2008-01-02 01:34 * ronabop steps away to take a breath, before answering that question
2008-01-02 01:37 < ronabop> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFJ2T2ywGbs
2008-01-02 01:38 < Mike_H> http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=6akuBVjs5YQ
2008-01-02 01:38 < bumm13> ronabop: that's awful
2008-01-02 01:38 < Mike_H> bumm13: watch mine
2008-01-02 01:39 < bumm13> Mike_H: I remember that commercial
2008-01-02 01:39 < The359> he's still around?
2008-01-02 01:39 < bumm13> I don't know if it was that new when I saw it, though
2008-01-02 01:40 < Mike_H> bumm13: I should ask my sister how old this commercial is
2008-01-02 01:40 < Mike_H> She would know
2008-01-02 01:40 < Mike_H> she's old
2008-01-02 01:41 < Mike_H> bumm13: never mind
2008-01-02 01:41 < ronabop> Scottc: If you were academically serious, I suggest reading Dawkins' works, as well as the followups, on memes.
2008-01-02 01:42 < Mike_H> I watched another commercial with a date on it
2008-01-02 01:42 < Mike_H> it's from 1984
2008-01-02 01:42 < Mike_H> she would have known it, then
2008-01-02 01:42 < Mike_H> she was 15 then
2008-01-02 01:44 * ronabop was amused by the "Same procedure as last year" meme last night
2008-01-02 01:45 < Mike_H> bumm13: I can link that commercial to her
2008-01-02 01:45 < Scottc> holy crap I want a computer monitor pringles dispenser!
2008-01-02 01:45 < Mike_H> I told her about YouTube last year when I told her I found a lot of episodes and clips of her favorite show from the '80s
2008-01-02 01:45 < Mike_H> and she didn't have a VCR then so she thought she'd never see all that again
2008-01-02 01:45 < Mike_H> she loves YouTube
2008-01-02 01:49 < Mike_H> bumm13: hello?
2008-01-02 01:49 * ronabop ponders how much of the US GDP goes into buying google hard drives to store copies of "The A-Team" episodes.
2008-01-02 01:49 < Mike_H> ronabop: My sister didn't like A Team. :P
2008-01-02 01:49 < ronabop> Dallas?
2008-01-02 01:50 < Mike_H> ronabop: Think daytime.
2008-01-02 01:50 < ronabop> ew.
2008-01-02 01:50 < Mike_H> Both of my sisters would race home after school
2008-01-02 01:50 < Mike_H> to get home at 3
2008-01-02 01:50 < Mike_H> to watch Santa Barbara
2008-01-02 01:50 < Mike_H> they loved that soap.
2008-01-02 01:51 * ronabop ponders if there is an article on why something so banal is called a "soap"...
2008-01-02 01:52 < bumm13> Mike_H: I'm back
2008-01-02 01:52 * bumm13 was "indisposed"
2008-01-02 01:52 * ronabop disposes
2008-01-02 01:52 < Mike_H> The name soap opera stems from the original dramatic serials broadcast on radio that had soap manufacturers such as Procter and Gamble, Colgate-Palmolive and Lever Brothers as the show's sponsors.[1]
2008-01-02 01:53 < simplechat> hey. is anyone from wikiasari here?
2008-01-02 01:54 * ronabop tries to rub his legs to sound like a cricket, and fails
2008-01-02 01:56 < simplechat> lol
2008-01-02 01:56 * bumm13 gives Mike_H a bar of Lifebuoy to go with his operas
2008-01-02 01:57 < Lubaf> Who is the celebrity you'd most like to see stabbed in the face repeatedly with a dull machete?
2008-01-02 01:57 < Lubaf> Ignoring Linsey Lohan, Britney Spears, or Paris Hilton.
2008-01-02 01:57 < Mike_H> bumm13: do they still make that?
2008-01-02 01:58 < Lubaf> Mike_H: Which celeb would *you* stab in the face repeatedly with a dull machete, if you could get away with it?
2008-01-02 01:58 < Mike_H> Amy Winehouse
2008-01-02 01:58 * ronabop ponder Lubaf being a bot who keeps asking the same question
2008-01-02 01:58 < ronabop> *ponders
2008-01-02 01:59 < Lubaf> ronabop: Nah.
2008-01-02 01:59 < bumm13> Mike_H: not in North America, no
2008-01-02 01:59 < bumm13> I guess it's still sold in parts of east Asia
2008-01-02 02:00 < bumm13> they stopped selling it here around 1976
2008-01-02 02:00 < Mike_H> bumm13: I was watching old soap episodes
2008-01-02 02:00 < Mike_H> and saw a commercial for a soap brand
2008-01-02 02:00 < Mike_H> and wrote an article on it
2008-01-02 02:01 < bumm13> heehee
2008-01-02 02:01 < Mike_H> It's a soap that I know still exists, but I haven't seen it in forever
2008-01-02 02:01 < bumm13> what brand?
2008-01-02 02:01 < Mike_H> [[Camay]]
2008-01-02 02:01 < Krimpet> as is Darkie(tm) toothpaste - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:DarkieToothpaste.jpg :p
2008-01-02 02:01 < bumm13> oh, Camay
2008-01-02 02:01 < bumm13> I'm sure it's still around somewhere
2008-01-02 02:02 < bumm13> Krimpet - :X
2008-01-02 02:02 < Krimpet> bumm13: they've got some odd products in east Asia. :/
2008-01-02 02:03 < Mike_H> Search aired as a live, fifteen-minute serial from its debut in 1951 until 1968. The show's first sponsors were "Joy dishwashing liquid" and "Spic and Span" household cleaner. As the show's ratings increased, more sponsors began buying commercial time. Both "Joy" and "Spic and Span" continued to be the primary sponsors of the show well into the 1960s.
2008-01-02 02:03 < Mike_H> Search being [[Search for Tomorrow]]
2008-01-02 02:03 < Mike_H> I think I wrote the article on Spic and Span
2008-01-02 02:03 < Mike_H> at least originally.
2008-01-02 02:04 < bumm13> Mike_H: you've been to California at least once or twice, right?
2008-01-02 02:04 < Mike_H> Yeah
2008-01-02 02:04 < bumm13> ok
2008-01-02 02:05 < Lubaf> Mike_H: That's a product that probably changed its name.
2008-01-02 02:05 < bumm13> you've probably seen or been to Jack In the Box then? (fast food)
2008-01-02 02:05 < Mike_H> I've never eaten there
2008-01-02 02:05 < bumm13> ok
2008-01-02 02:05 < bumm13> (it's good stuff ;)
2008-01-02 02:05 < bumm13> although they used to suck years ago
2008-01-02 02:05 < bumm13> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MR4I7-7TmHs&feature=related
2008-01-02 02:07 < Mike_H> heh
2008-01-02 02:07 < Drunken_Idiot> Aloha.
2008-01-02 02:07 < Mike_H> bumm13: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=33kp7YTdQi0
2008-01-02 02:08 < Mike_H> this commercial used to play every Christmas
2008-01-02 02:08 < Mike_H> for Publix
2008-01-02 02:08 < Mike_H> (a supermarket chain in Florida)
2008-01-02 02:08 < Drunken_Idiot> Baah 483 emails who wants to read them :(
2008-01-02 02:08 < Mike_H> It was seriously iconic, everyone from Florida knows this commercial
2008-01-02 02:08 * ronabop reads
2008-01-02 02:08 * Drunken_Idiot loves ronabop for that.
2008-01-02 02:09 < Drunken_Idiot> rona is a pure British female name.
2008-01-02 02:09 < Drunken_Idiot> Source: My brain.
2008-01-02 02:09 < ronabop> Oooh, I can increase the size of my....
2008-01-02 02:10 < bumm13> ah
2008-01-02 02:10 < bumm13> heh
2008-01-02 02:10 < Drunken_Idiot> my ... ?
2008-01-02 02:10 < bumm13> Publix, that's an interesting name for a grocery store
2008-01-02 02:10 < Mike_H> bumm13: Publix
2008-01-02 02:10 < Mike_H> Where shopping is a pleasure
2008-01-02 02:10 < bumm13> heh
2008-01-02 02:11 < bumm13> the regional grocery store that comes to mind in Washington is QFC
2008-01-02 02:11 < bumm13> (in the Puget Sound region)
2008-01-02 02:11 < Krimpet> Publix sounds like the name of an erotic cereal
2008-01-02 02:11 < Kieff> Pubix
2008-01-02 02:11 < Krimpet> with marshmallow... nevermind
2008-01-02 02:11 < Kieff> now with 10% more hair
2008-01-02 02:11 < bumm13> :p
2008-01-02 02:11 * ronabop suggests googling ronabop for those figuring out his chosen gender
2008-01-02 02:12 < Mike_H> Publix is really a good company
2008-01-02 02:12 < Mike_H> the Jenkins family is very philanthropic and "lives by example"
2008-01-02 02:12 < Mike_H> they are not rich snobs and pretty much still work for Publix for their living
2008-01-02 02:12 < Mike_H> even though they don't have to.
2008-01-02 02:12 < Lycurgus> 'cept it's not really "public" is it?
2008-01-02 02:13 < Drunken_Idiot> ronabop: Gender isn't an issue on IRC, or the cyberspace good sir.
2008-01-02 02:13 < Mike_H> No, the Jenkins family and employees all have a stake in it
2008-01-02 02:13 < Mike_H> Publix is privately-owned ;)
2008-01-02 02:13 < Krimpet> sounds like Wawa and the Wood family
2008-01-02 02:13 < Scottc> why is #wikipedia discussing a grocery store?
2008-01-02 02:13 < Mike_H> Because we feel like it
2008-01-02 02:13 < Scottc> Sounds good to me.
2008-01-02 02:13 < HeartOfDarkness> because of Winn-Dixie?
2008-01-02 02:14 < Mike_H> Oh you did not just go there
2008-01-02 02:14 * felix_the_cat throws bottles of wine at Mike_H
2008-01-02 02:14 < Krimpet> including CEO, Dick Wood, whose name appeared on all the coffee cups.
2008-01-02 02:14 < Scottc> nice name
2008-01-02 02:14 * ronabop wonders if it's Two-Buck-Chuck from trader joe's
2008-01-02 02:14 < Scottc> I applied for a job at Publix once.
2008-01-02 02:14 < Drunken_Idiot> felix_the_cat: Do you want you're theme song?
2008-01-02 02:15 < Krimpet> Scottc: well, he certainly doesn't seem to be ashamed of it. :)
2008-01-02 02:15 < Scottc> I want a coffee cup that says Dick Wood.
2008-01-02 02:15 < Drunken_Idiot> Felix the cat such wonderful cat...
2008-01-02 02:15 < Scottc> speaking of publix job... I was asked to come in for an interview.
2008-01-02 02:16 * ronabop explains that Two-Buck-Chuck was an amazing wine sold by the "Trader Joe's" grocery chain.
2008-01-02 02:16 < Scottc> were they supposed to contact me telling me I didn't get the job? There was never any followup.
2008-01-02 02:16 < Krimpet> unfortunately he retired a couple years ago :( some DuPont guy is the CEO now
2008-01-02 02:16 < bumm13> ah, the late 50s/early 60s Felix theme song
2008-01-02 02:16 < Drunken_Idiot> Krimpet: Bud
2008-01-02 02:16 < Mike_H> Scottc: hm
2008-01-02 02:16 < Mike_H> I never knew anyone who worked at Publix
2008-01-02 02:16 < Mike_H> my ex worked at Kroger
2008-01-02 02:16 < Krimpet> Drunken_Idiot: huh?
2008-01-02 02:16 < Mike_H> my best friend worked at Winn-Dixie
2008-01-02 02:16 < Mike_H> but no Publix
2008-01-02 02:16 < Drunken_Idiot> Krimpet: my way of saying hello :P
2008-01-02 02:17 < Krimpet> ah. hello. :)
2008-01-02 02:17 < Mike_H> and I found out there's a Kroger in Pensacola now
2008-01-02 02:17 < Mike_H> when I went back home
2008-01-02 02:17 < Mike_H> I was very shocked.
2008-01-02 02:17 < bumm13> there are no actual Kroger stores this far west
2008-01-02 02:17 < Scottc> wtf is a Kroger?
2008-01-02 02:17 < Drunken_Idiot> Brb looking for my password =))
2008-01-02 02:17 < bumm13> but Kroger owns several chains here
2008-01-02 02:17 < SNORLAX> I have awesome irc color art of the food lion but I wouldn't spam it even if +c was off
2008-01-02 02:17 < Mike_H> Scottc: Kroger is a supermarket
2008-01-02 02:17 < Scottc> I live near pcola and i've never heard of it.
2008-01-02 02:17 < ronabop> It's a southern US store.
2008-01-02 02:17 < SNORLAX> but it ends with hey, i'm the flood lion! roar!
2008-01-02 02:17 < bumm13> no, it's based in Ohio
2008-01-02 02:17 < Mike_H> They opened a Kroger across from a Wal-Mart Supercenter
2008-01-02 02:17 < Mike_H> and that's what I didn't get
2008-01-02 02:18 < bumm13> that is awfully close
2008-01-02 02:18 < Mike_H> when another Wal-Mart Supercenter opened in Pensacola
2008-01-02 02:18 < Mike_H> the Winn-Dixie across the street closed
2008-01-02 02:18 < Mike_H> like
2008-01-02 02:18 < Mike_H> that next week
2008-01-02 02:19 < Krimpet> I have relatives by marriage that used to own a successful supermarket chain around here. they sold it to safeway and got hella rich off it, though unfortunately it went downhill big-time after that :/
2008-01-02 02:19 < Mike_H> bumm13: In Pensacola all the ones we used to have were Winn-Dixie, Albertsons, and Food World
2008-01-02 02:19 < Mike_H> if we had another one, I forgot about it
2008-01-02 02:19 < Mike_H> Food World owned by Bruno's, which I believe is owned by the Delhaize Group of Belgium
2008-01-02 02:19 < Scottc> I know nothing about pensacola except that it has the only decent paintball field within my area :)
2008-01-02 02:20 < Mike_H> There's a Piggly Wiggly in the panhandle, but it's like an hour and a half away from Pensacola
2008-01-02 02:20 < Mike_H> I think it's in Walton County
2008-01-02 02:20 < Scottc> and well... the only decent... "lan party place" in the area
2008-01-02 02:20 * ronabop checks his keychain and wallet and has keys for Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, CVS, Fry's..
2008-01-02 02:20 < Mike_H> Scottc: What county are you in?
2008-01-02 02:20 < Scottc> I think Santa Rosa county
2008-01-02 02:21 < Mike_H> You think?
2008-01-02 02:21 < Mike_H> What town is it?
2008-01-02 02:21 < Scottc> i'm a good 30 minutes away from pensacola
2008-01-02 02:21 < Scottc> Fort Walton Beach
2008-01-02 02:21 < Mike_H> That's Okaloosa.
2008-01-02 02:21 < Scottc> bah
2008-01-02 02:21 < Scottc> yeah.. Okaloosa.
2008-01-02 02:21 < Mike_H> Okaloosa County is a county located in the state of Florida. As of the 2000 census, the population was 170,498. The U.S. Census Bureau 2005 estimate for the county is 182,172 [1]. Its county seat is Crestview, Florida.6 The county's largest city is Fort Walton Beach.
2008-01-02 02:21 < Drunken_Idiot> phew found my password
2008-01-02 02:22 < Mike_H> bumm13: I went shopping with my friend for my mother
2008-01-02 02:22 < Mike_H> at Colonial Mall Bel Air
2008-01-02 02:22 * ronabop suggests KeyPass for Drunken_Idiot
2008-01-02 02:22 < Mike_H> and I asked the women at the Belk where the Sephora counter was
2008-01-02 02:22 < Mike_H> they just gave me this blank look
2008-01-02 02:22 < Mike_H> "We don't have Sephora here"
2008-01-02 02:22 * Krimpet is sad to be leaving Wawa country again in a few days :(
2008-01-02 02:22 < Mike_H> "You can try Birmingham"
2008-01-02 02:22 < Mike_H> which is like
2008-01-02 02:22 < Mike_H> four hours away
2008-01-02 02:22 < Scottc> whats a Sephora? :)

2008-01-02 02:23 < Drunken_Idiot> ronabop: Hmn I save them in my gf;s pda
2008-01-02 02:23 < Drunken_Idiot> :P
2008-01-02 02:23 < Scottc> its easier if you just tell me.
2008-01-02 02:23 < ronabop> !! is a sockpuppet!
2008-01-02 02:23 < Mike_H> Scottc: It's a makeup and beauty store
2008-01-02 02:23 < Mike_H> like MAC
2008-01-02 02:23 < Scottc> i'm unfamiliar with MAC.
2008-01-02 02:23 < Mike_H> okay, then it's a makeup and beauty store.
2008-01-02 02:24 < ronabop> MAC rocks.
2008-01-02 02:24 < Drunken_Idiot> MAC is pathetic :P
2008-01-02 02:24 < Drunken_Idiot> AMD rocks
2008-01-02 02:24 < Mike_H> MAC is Canadian
2008-01-02 02:24 < Mike_H> I believe
2008-01-02 02:24 < Mike_H> Sephora is French
2008-01-02 02:24 < Drunken_Idiot> Canadian Babes Are Hot
2008-01-02 02:24 < Scottc> Now are we talking about AMD as in some obscure makeup and beauty store? or AMD processors?
2008-01-02 02:24 < Mike_H> Scottc: Sephora isn't obscure. It's very high-end.
2008-01-02 02:24 < bumm13> Mike_H: I'm not familiar with Sephora
2008-01-02 02:25 < Mike_H> bumm13: I think there's a Sephora in Seattle
2008-01-02 02:25 < bumm13> then again, I'm probably not familiar with a lot of female beauty products
2008-01-02 02:25 < Mike_H> I don't think they have one in Portland
2008-01-02 02:25 < bumm13> ah, high falutin' ;)
2008-01-02 02:25 < Mike_H> Sephora didn't expand to the US until 1998 anyway
2008-01-02 02:25 < Mike_H> so it's still usually in big cities
2008-01-02 02:25 < ronabop> Spendy?
2008-01-02 02:26 * ronabop uses a PAC NW-ism
2008-01-02 02:26 < Mike_H> bumm13: There are no Sephora stores in Portland, but there are counters
2008-01-02 02:26 < Mike_H> inside the JCPenney
2008-01-02 02:26 < Mike_H> at Washington Square and Clackamas Town Center
2008-01-02 02:26 < uberpenguin> hey Mike_H
2008-01-02 02:26 < uberpenguin> how's life?
2008-01-02 02:26 < Mike_H> hey
2008-01-02 02:26 < Mike_H> bleh
2008-01-02 02:26 < uberpenguin> that good, eh?
2008-01-02 02:27 < Mike_H> and then there are four stand-alone Sephora stores in Seattle, including one in downtown.
2008-01-02 02:27 < bumm13> Mike_H: I think Washington Square has both a store and a counter
2008-01-02 02:27 < bumm13> (as they have different phone numbers)
2008-01-02 02:27 < Mike_H> oh, hm
2008-01-02 02:27 < bumm13> so maybe 1 store :)
2008-01-02 02:27 < Mike_H> Texas has a shitload of Sephora stores
2008-01-02 02:27 < Mike_H> who knew?
2008-01-02 02:27 < bumm13> heehee
2008-01-02 02:27 < bumm13> Christian makeup!
2008-01-02 02:28 < bumm13> like Tammy Faye Messner
2008-01-02 02:28 < bumm13> :x
2008-01-02 02:28 < ronabop> No artifice there!
2008-01-02 02:28 < Mike_H> Austin, Houston, Dallas and San Antonio all have Sephora stores
2008-01-02 02:28 < Mike_H> and so do some of the suburbs
2008-01-02 02:28 < bumm13> (ah - Vancouver, Wash. has a counter as well)
2008-01-02 02:28 < Drunken_Idiot> bumm13 : Vancouver has 47 strip clubs.
2008-01-02 02:29 < bumm13> Vancouver, USA?
2008-01-02 02:29 < ronabop> Vantuckey? amusing.
2008-01-02 02:29 < Mike_H> All of Georgia's Sephora stores are around Atlanta
2008-01-02 02:29 < Mike_H> the Mall of Georgia and the mall in Alpharetta have one each, and then Perimeter and Lenox in Atlanta proper
2008-01-02 02:29 < Drunken_Idiot> bumm13: Vancouver, Canada British Colombia.
2008-01-02 02:30 < bumm13> ah ok
2008-01-02 02:30 < bumm13> Portland has more, I'll bet :)
2008-01-02 02:30 < bumm13> (Portland metro)
2008-01-02 02:30 < Drunken_Idiot> Hmn
2008-01-02 02:30 < Mike_H> bumm13: There's even a Sephora in IOWA
2008-01-02 02:30 < Mike_H> wtf
2008-01-02 02:30 < bumm13> heh
2008-01-02 02:30 < Drunken_Idiot> Toronto , Ontario got 26
2008-01-02 02:30 < bumm13> Des Moines?
2008-01-02 02:30 < Drunken_Idiot> last time I counted
2008-01-02 02:31 < Mike_H> West Des Moines
2008-01-02 02:31 < bumm13> ah
2008-01-02 02:31 < Drunken_Idiot> lol
2008-01-02 02:31 < ronabop> Iowa needs artifice, too!
2008-01-02 02:31 < Mike_H> Gilbert, AZ
2008-01-02 02:31 < Mike_H> Sephora is opening in January 2008 in San Tan Village.
2008-01-02 02:31 < Mike_H> Birmingham, AL

2008-01-02 02:31 < Mike_H> Sephora is opening in January 2008 in Baybrook.
2008-01-02 02:31 < Mike_H> those are the new store openings.
2008-01-02 02:32 < Scottc> Great, now I know where to buy beauty supplies.
2008-01-02 02:32 * Mike_H drives Scottc to Clinton Township, MI
2008-01-02 02:32 < Scottc> I find it a bit odd that a bunch of guys are talking about a store that sells makeup :)
2008-01-02 02:32 < Mike_H> I'm gay
2008-01-02 02:32 < Mike_H> I'm allowed
2008-01-02 02:32 * Drunken_Idiot kisses Mike_H.
2008-01-02 02:33 < Scottc> that explains a lot
2008-01-02 02:33 < Scottc> well I mean
2008-01-02 02:33 < Scottc> not really a lot
2008-01-02 02:33 < Scottc> just why you were talking about this "Sephora".
2008-01-02 02:33 < bumm13> Drunken_Idiot: http://distilledpublishing.blogspot.com/2007/06/portland-is-most-oversaturated-strip.html
2008-01-02 02:33 < ronabop> Gay != makeup
2008-01-02 02:33 < Scottc> ok yeah
2008-01-02 02:33 < Scottc> it doesn't really explain much.
2008-01-02 02:33 < Mike_H> ronabop: Oh please
2008-01-02 02:33 < Drunken_Idiot> bumm13: Looking at it.
2008-01-02 02:33 < Mike_H> gays can accessorize like nobody's business
2008-01-02 02:33 < bumm13> wait, that has less info than I hoped :p
2008-01-02 02:34 < Mike_H> Scottc: If you must know, my best friend prefers his drag queen makeup from Sephora.
2008-01-02 02:34 < bumm13> try this: http://wweek.com/story.php?story=6093
2008-01-02 02:34 * Krimpet gets her makeup at Wal-Mart, or for special occasions, Dollar Tree
2008-01-02 02:34 < Mike_H> Easy, breezy, beautiful, DollarGirl
2008-01-02 02:34 < Scottc> Mike_H: thats great to know....
2008-01-02 02:35 < ronabop> Mike_H: bears
2008-01-02 02:35 < Drunken_Idiot> bumm13: How bored are we?
2008-01-02 02:35 < Mike_H> Scottc: You wanted to know why I brought it up, dear
2008-01-02 02:35 < Krimpet> Dollar Tree has a lovely selection of lingerie, too.
2008-01-02 02:35 < Mike_H> ronabop: They can accessorize...
2008-01-02 02:35 < Mike_H> you know
2008-01-02 02:35 < Mike_H> leather
2008-01-02 02:35 < Mike_H> and denim
2008-01-02 02:36 < Drunken_Idiot> bumm13: Shemales scare me.
2008-01-02 02:36 < Mike_H> Drunken_Idiot: Shemale isn't exactly the most PC term to use.
2008-01-02 02:36 < Scottc> PC?
2008-01-02 02:36 < Drunken_Idiot> Public Comment
2008-01-02 02:36 < Mike_H> Scottc: Let me put it this way, there are people here who are transgendered, and they don't like being called man-she.
2008-01-02 02:36 < Mike_H> Better?
2008-01-02 02:37 < Scottc> Shemale sounds like an accurate description to me.
2008-01-02 02:37 < Drunken_Idiot> PC = Pearl Continental
2008-01-02 02:37 < bumm13> Drunken_Idiot: it's funny you put "47" for Vancouver, as that's the number I get for Portland from one website I found
2008-01-02 02:37 < Drunken_Idiot> bumm13: Well I counted them :D
2008-01-02 02:38 < Drunken_Idiot> 5 are Iranian
2008-01-02 02:38 < Scottc> oh I think he meant politically correct, not public comment...
2008-01-02 02:38 < Scottc> i'm tired :)
2008-01-02 02:38 < bumm13> Iranian???
2008-01-02 02:38 < bumm13> :x
2008-01-02 02:38 < ronabop> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Two_spirit
2008-01-02 02:38 < Drunken_Idiot> Yep
2008-01-02 02:38 < bumm13> (47 is just an estimate, not a search through the phone book)
2008-01-02 02:38 < Drunken_Idiot> true
2008-01-02 02:39 < bumm13> Mike_H - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRqJjzLWA6Y&feature=related
2008-01-02 02:39 < bumm13> this commercial is especially interesting because they had a "Jack Is Back" campaign around 1996-97 :)
2008-01-02 02:40 < Mike_H> Oh, look
2008-01-02 02:40 < Mike_H> it's Adelaide!
2008-01-02 02:40 < bumm13> heehee, yeah
2008-01-02 02:41 < bumm13> she must've died years ago
2008-01-02 02:42 < Mike_H> bumm13: let me check
2008-01-02 02:42 < Mike_H> Nedra Volz (June 18, 1908 ? January 20, 2003) was an American actress born in Montrose, Iowa.
2008-01-02 02:44 < Drunken_Idiot> G2g
2008-01-02 02:44 < Drunken_Idiot> c yaz
2008-01-02 02:45 < bumm13> 2003, wow
2008-01-02 02:45 < bumm13> that wasn't that long ago
2008-01-02 02:45 < bumm13> 95, that's quite old
2008-01-02 02:46 < simplechat> hey everyone. i'm wondering if anyone would have a contact address for the wikiasari project?
2008-01-02 02:46 < simplechat> the new wikipedia search engine thats coming out jan 7?
2008-01-02 02:46 < Kieff> "wikiasari"?
2008-01-02 02:47 < Mike_H> bumm13: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=xNhfqP7J6c0
2008-01-02 02:47 < Mike_H> It's the first appearance of Cousin Geri :x
2008-01-02 02:47 < simplechat> http://mashable.com/2006/12/23/wikiasari-wikipedia-founder-launching-a-google-rival/
2008-01-02 02:47 < simplechat> sorry, wrong window
2008-01-02 02:47 < bumm13> simplechat - here is their wiki at Wikia --- http://search.wikia.com/wiki/Search_Wikia
2008-01-02 02:47 < simplechat> actually no, d/w
2008-01-02 02:48 < simplechat> ok
2008-01-02 02:48 < simplechat> they should have a contact email somewhere on that?
2008-01-02 02:48 < uberpenguin> oh wow... someone's finally revamping wikipedia's piss-poor search?
2008-01-02 02:48 < bumm13> probably not ;p
2008-01-02 02:48 < simplechat> http://search.wikia.com/wiki/Wikiasari That has nothing.
2008-01-02 02:49 < bumm13> the name thing is probably quite new
2008-01-02 02:49 < simplechat> uberpenguin, yeah. to a point.
2008-01-02 02:49 < uberpenguin> to what point?
2008-01-02 02:49 < simplechat> name thing?
2008-01-02 02:49 < SNORLAX> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikiasari#Search_engines
2008-01-02 02:49 < SNORLAX> Wikia Inc. initially proposed creating a copyleft search engine; the software (but not the site) was named "Wikiasari" by a November 2004 naming contest.[12] The proposal became inactive as of 2005.
2008-01-02 02:49 < uberpenguin> ... so they're reinventing the wheel?
2008-01-02 02:49 * Krimpet doesn't see this taking off, honestly
2008-01-02 02:49 < SNORLAX> On December 24, 2007, Wales announced that Wikia Search had entered "private pre-alpha", with a planned public launch date of January 7, 2008.
2008-01-02 02:49 < uberpenguin> instead of, oh, say... writing a proper front-end for lucene
2008-01-02 02:50 < bumm13> what is Lucene?
2008-01-02 02:50 * ronabop smacks bumm13
2008-01-02 02:50 < uberpenguin> a fulltext search API
2008-01-02 02:50 < uberpenguin> written in java
2008-01-02 02:50 < bumm13> hmm
2008-01-02 02:50 < uberpenguin> we used it on the last big site I helped run
2008-01-02 02:50 < simplechat> SNORLAX, hmmm. ok. this is getting complicated then
2008-01-02 02:51 < ronabop> So, wikipedia, searched through wikia (with ads), leads to content?
2008-01-02 02:51 < flibbertigibbet> <flibbertigibbet> Why do ISPs cache DNS records?
2008-01-02 02:51 < flibbertigibbet> <flibbertigibbet> (or is it only ISPs in India?)
2008-01-02 02:51 < uberpenguin> theoretically wikipedia also uses lucene
2008-01-02 02:52 < uberpenguin> though whomever wrote the frontend to it is an idiot
2008-01-02 02:52 < simplechat> hmmm. so what exactly is it?
2008-01-02 02:52 < simplechat> there just pulling url's, and building wikipedia pages from it to then edit which are then returned through source results?
2008-01-02 02:53 < uberpenguin> flibbertigibbet: because it's impossible for changes to propagate instantly
2008-01-02 02:53 < uberpenguin> and it would be ridiculous to update continuously
2008-01-02 02:53 < simplechat> uberpenguin, its to reduce the load to the root dns servers
2008-01-02 02:53 < uberpenguin> ... which is just a consequence of what I said
2008-01-02 02:54 < simplechat> ?
2008-01-02 02:54 < Krimpet> flibbertigibbet: it's not just India; I've had to wait up to 48 hours for changes to propagate for me, in the heart of the east coast USA
2008-01-02 02:54 < flibbertigibbet> heh
2008-01-02 02:54 < simplechat> For a distributed hash table you can have instananious updates (see chord, iirc).
2008-01-02 02:54 < uberpenguin> it's practically impossible
2008-01-02 02:55 < uberpenguin> from a load and timing standpoint
2008-01-02 02:55 < simplechat> but yeah. my problem is basically that i already have a wiki search engine at www.asari.uni.cc i was wondering i could contact someone to work out a deal of some sort.
2008-01-02 02:55 < simplechat> uberpenguin, dht's are slower, but otherwise fine
2008-01-02 02:55 < simplechat> they are more consistant and much nicer otherwise.
2008-01-02 02:55 < flibbertigibbet> simplechat, you're australian or a fan of creative commons?
2008-01-02 02:55 < simplechat> australian
2008-01-02 02:55 < simplechat> why?
2008-01-02 02:55 < Mike_H> Mandela says that, by African standards, Keenyah is skinny. Which means that Sally Struthers has been duping us all these years. Tyra says that Keenyah is skinny by African-American standards, too. Whatever gets you through the day, Tyra.
2008-01-02 02:56 < Mike_H> Heh, I love these Top Model recaps
2008-01-02 02:56 < Mike_H> <3
2008-01-02 02:56 < flibbertigibbet> those darned domains come expensive. US $ 109
2008-01-02 02:56 < flibbertigibbet> *.cc
2008-01-02 02:56 < flibbertigibbet> Mike_H, I hate Anchal Fan club. :p
2008-01-02 02:56 < Mike_H> flibbertigibbet: I HATE HER
2008-01-02 02:57 < simplechat> flibbertigibbet, mine is free. i'm going for a .com.au but now that i have wikipedia basically killing off my buisiness, i don't think i'll be able to
2008-01-02 02:57 < simplechat> or rather, it won't be worth it
2008-01-02 02:57 < Mike_H> flibbertigibbet: You hold on, I will make you a member
2008-01-02 02:57 < flibbertigibbet> mike_h, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
2008-01-02 02:57 < Mike_H> YES
2008-01-02 02:57 < Krimpet> I always wondered why .cx domains were so expensive - ~$40 I think?
2008-01-02 02:57 < flibbertigibbet> simplechat, are you in a wiki-based business or too addicted to en.wp?
2008-01-02 02:57 < Mike_H> I'm not even on your Top Friends
2008-01-02 02:57 < Mike_H> you bitch
2008-01-02 02:57 < flibbertigibbet> krimpet, those are good for pr0n sites.
2008-01-02 02:58 < flibbertigibbet> mike_h, lulz
2008-01-02 02:58 < flibbertigibbet> I never updated them.
2008-01-02 02:58 < simplechat> flibbertigibbet, wiki-related buisiness. i came up with asari's idea independantly and before wikipedia did. i've been trying to grow it for the past year now (since alpha). and now it looks like in a week it'll all be worthless
2008-01-02 02:59 < flibbertigibbet> :(
2008-01-02 02:59 < simplechat> yep
2008-01-02 02:59 < simplechat> they even have the same name
2008-01-02 02:59 * flibbertigibbet licks dungodung
2008-01-02 02:59 < simplechat> ?
2008-01-02 02:59 < Krimpet> simplechat: the worst part is, wikia's project is probably going to crash and burn too :(
2008-01-02 02:59 < Mike_H> flibbertigibbet: done
2008-01-02 02:59 < Mike_H> look at your wall
2008-01-02 02:59 < Mike_H> lulz
2008-01-02 02:59 < uberpenguin> if it makes you feel any better, wikipedia has basically screwed over everybody's google results, so you're not the only one that's been shafted
2008-01-02 03:00 * flibbertigibbet checks the junk mail box
2008-01-02 03:00 < dungodung> flibbertigibbet!
2008-01-02 03:00 < flibbertigibbet> *slurp*
2008-01-02 03:00 < Scottc> how does wikia intend to profit anyway?
2008-01-02 03:00 < simplechat> Krimpet, i'm open sourcing my code. i'm going to shove all my stuff in the public domain, and i'm going to dump what i have left into advertising.
2008-01-02 03:00 < flibbertigibbet> A-D-V-E-R-T-I-S-E-M-E-N-TS
2008-01-02 03:00 < simplechat> if wikia crashes and burns, i want to be there to kill whats left of it
2008-01-02 03:01 < Mike_H> flibbertigibbet: You must admit
2008-01-02 03:01 < simplechat> cause yeah. copying the name made this personal
2008-01-02 03:01 < Mike_H> that picture is gold
2008-01-02 03:01 < Mike_H> and fabulousness.
2008-01-02 03:01 < Scottc> I mean how the hell are they going to make me use their new and unproven search engine over google?
2008-01-02 03:01 < flibbertigibbet> mike_h, checking now
2008-01-02 03:01 < simplechat> Scottc, link it up with wikipedia itself. Add a "Search the world" option in wikipedias main search box
2008-01-02 03:01 < simplechat> they have enough traffic to bootstrap it
2008-01-02 03:02 < flibbertigibbet> scottc, it's a business venture, it has every right to fail.
2008-01-02 03:02 < phed> aaah- what is it with editors who push policies hard, just making articles worse with no goal in mind ...
2008-01-02 03:02 < uberpenguin> hrm... anyone happen to know a good text for solid-state physics? I hear tell that the Kittels book is awful, but the Omar book is like 25 years out of date :/
2008-01-02 03:02 < Krimpet> simplechat: they'd get a lot of flak if they did that though, since the WMF is a nonprofit
2008-01-02 03:02 < phed> I am now seeing an mid-grade importance article being edited completely away :(
2008-01-02 03:02 < kila> simplechat: you dont use Wikipedia.. Why be in the channel, except for saying you are upset over something that was bound to happen
2008-01-02 03:02 < simplechat> flibbertigibbet, its hard to fail if your well backed and well funded. and have something else to copy off
2008-01-02 03:02 < simplechat> kila, we had this conversation before :) and i do use wikipedia
2008-01-02 03:03 < uberpenguin> kila: half of the active people here either don't use wikipedia or complain regularly about it
2008-01-02 03:03 < simplechat> Krimpet, how does wikia tie to the foundation?
2008-01-02 03:03 < bumm13> Mike_H: you'll like this one if you haven't already seen it:
2008-01-02 03:03 < bumm13> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9HEcI4YVWjo
2008-01-02 03:03 < Mike_H> uberpenguin: for real
2008-01-02 03:03 < uberpenguin> and half is probably not even exaggeration
2008-01-02 03:03 < uberpenguin> it may be understatement
2008-01-02 03:04 < kila> uberpenguin: yes, but he doesnt even fucking know the difference between wikia, wikipedia and wikimedia.. keeps calling them all the same.
2008-01-02 03:04 < simplechat> uberpenguin, complain about what?
2008-01-02 03:04 < uberpenguin> kila: so?
2008-01-02 03:04 < Krimpet> simplechat: well, in theory, it doesn't and shouldn't by law
2008-01-02 03:04 < uberpenguin> if it irks you that much, elucidate the details to him
2008-01-02 03:04 < Krimpet> in practice, there is a bit of overlap though
2008-01-02 03:04 < kila> uberpenguin: lol I gave up when he kept whining
2008-01-02 03:04 < Mike_H> bumm13: my dad has a lot of old TBS stuff on tape
2008-01-02 03:04 < Mike_H> from then
2008-01-02 03:04 < uberpenguin> kila: so now you're whining
2008-01-02 03:04 < Mike_H> I've seen a lot of this
2008-01-02 03:04 < Krimpet> kila: could you please stop doing the same? :/
2008-01-02 03:04 < bumm13> ah ok
2008-01-02 03:04 < uberpenguin> simplechat: wikipedia, in particular
2008-01-02 03:05 < kila> Krimpet: heh.
2008-01-02 03:05 < simplechat> uberpenguin, what part of it?
2008-01-02 03:05 < uberpenguin> simplechat: oh, lots of things
2008-01-02 03:05 < uberpenguin> more than can be recounted in a neat, terse list
2008-01-02 03:05 < simplechat> uberpenguin, enlighten me :)
2008-01-02 03:05 < simplechat> see what you can fit in?
2008-01-02 03:06 < uberpenguin> well, my beef is that there's no real structure to it, the community is insular and self-destructive and nobody cares about fixing it, most things operate by mob rule, and most of the stated goals and touted advantages to wikipedia are empty promises
2008-01-02 03:06 < uberpenguin> oh, and the big one: FUCKING. POLITICS.
2008-01-02 03:07 < uberpenguin> but that's just me personally, I can't vouch for others
2008-01-02 03:07 < flibbertigibbet> uberpenguin, hyperbole, polemics etc.
2008-01-02 03:07 < uberpenguin> I don't represent my opinions as anything but
2008-01-02 03:07 < uberpenguin> but hyperbole it isn't
2008-01-02 03:07 < simplechat> uberpenguin, i have dinner now. i'll be back in a few minutes. can you tell me more when you get back? also. if you had a competitor that removed most of these obscenities, would you switch to it?
2008-01-02 03:08 < uberpenguin> not really, I'm sort of off the wiki idea these days
2008-01-02 03:08 < flibbertigibbet> simplechat, what do you think drives wikipedian editors to edit seemingly without remuneration?
2008-01-02 03:08 < uberpenguin> and there are plenty of competitors... larry sanger's project is noble, but I don't think it'll get enough momentum
2008-01-02 03:08 < flibbertigibbet> it's DAH DRAMAZZZzzz
2008-01-02 03:08 < flibbertigibbet> the challenge it provides.
2008-01-02 03:08 < flibbertigibbet> people edit because it's a challenge.
2008-01-02 03:08 < simplechat> flibbertigibbet, same reason why open source enthusiasts code without remuneration. fame, doing good for the community.
2008-01-02 03:08 < flibbertigibbet> drama is INEVITABLE!
2008-01-02 03:09 < flibbertigibbet> fame, yes, but that's not the case with the majority of the FS community either.
2008-01-02 03:09 < uberpenguin> recognition, sense of accomplishment, feeling part of a community, distinguishing oneself within said community, promoting some hidden agenda... all plausible reasons
2008-01-02 03:10 < flibbertigibbet> Yes, recognition from the Wikipedia community.
2008-01-02 03:10 < uberpenguin> I'll take the cynical stance that says "I really doubt many people edit out of pure altruism"
2008-01-02 03:10 < flibbertigibbet> It's all a part of the drama.
2008-01-02 03:10 < flibbertigibbet> Those barnstars, pictures etc.
2008-01-02 03:10 < uberpenguin> maybe the very casual type of editor... an IP address fixing something here and there... not regular editors, though
2008-01-02 03:12 < uberpenguin> I just think a crummy job has always been done in trying to channel the varied motivations into productive areas... I seek organization where there is just chaos
2008-01-02 03:16 < flibbertigibbet> If you like chaos, you should go to Thailand.
2008-01-02 03:16 < flibbertigibbet> Happy and Chaotic
2008-01-02 03:16 < uberpenguin> or try to drive a car in Shanghai
2008-01-02 03:16 < uberpenguin> where the traffic signals are "for reference purposes only"
2008-01-02 03:16 < flibbertigibbet> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:100_1307.JPG
2008-01-02 03:17 < flibbertigibbet> *yummy*
2008-01-02 03:17 < flibbertigibbet> uberpenguin, hehe
2008-01-02 03:18 < flibbertigibbet> uberpenguin, would have been the same in India, but now all the traffic points are manned.
2008-01-02 03:19 < Evil_Monkey> http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mitt_Romney%27s_%22Faith_in_America%22_speech&diff=181280304&oldid=181189414
2008-01-02 03:19 < Evil_Monkey> mein eyes
2008-01-02 03:19 < Evil_Monkey> they changed "sprung upon" to "sprang"
2008-01-02 03:19 < simplechat> flibbertigibbet, then what?
2008-01-02 03:19 < Krimpet> driving in NYC is just as bad, in my experience
2008-01-02 03:21 < simplechat> flibbertigibbet, what is the driving force behind edits?
2008-01-02 03:22 < flibbertigibbet> Recognition from the community, the challenge it provides.
2008-01-02 03:22 < flibbertigibbet> And most of our long-term editors are not what you'd call normal people.
2008-01-02 03:22 < flibbertigibbet> all sorts of minorities form a significant portion here.
2008-01-02 03:22 < flibbertigibbet> And all of them do brilliant work.
2008-01-02 03:23 < uberpenguin> Krimpet: mm... no
2008-01-02 03:23 < uberpenguin> at least in NYC people have some fear of running over pedestrians
2008-01-02 03:23 < flibbertigibbet> uberpenguin, they run over pedestrians in Shanghai ? :p
2008-01-02 03:24 < uberpenguin> a good bit, yes
2008-01-02 03:24 < uberpenguin> my friend was there with his family and almost got run down
2008-01-02 03:24 < Krimpet> uberpenguin: yeah, because everyone jaywalks anyway. :p
2008-01-02 03:24 < uberpenguin> he didn't know that the traffic signals were for reference purposes only
2008-01-02 03:24 < flibbertigibbet> heheh
2008-01-02 03:25 < simplechat> flibbertigibbet, hmmm. ok
2008-01-02 03:25 < uberpenguin> bus full of people
2008-01-02 03:25 < uberpenguin> he thought it was going to slow down because the light was red
2008-01-02 03:25 < uberpenguin> he was wrong
2008-01-02 03:30 < ronabop> http://www.google.com/search?q=Ronabop <---8 years of contributions, abandonment, drama, Enjoy.
2008-01-02 03:32 < Mike_H> ronabop: You have Pantene hair
2008-01-02 03:32 < kila> Mike_H: lol
2008-01-02 03:33 < kila> Mike_H: Hey :)
2008-01-02 03:33 < Mike_H> hey
2008-01-02 03:33 * ronabop thinks this is a highly intellectual observation
2008-01-02 03:33 < bumm13> heh
2008-01-02 03:35 < bumm13> hiya ggreer
2008-01-02 03:36 < Alkivar> anyone find it odd we have a decent article on [[Champs Sports Bowl]] and only a 2 line stub on [[Champs Sports]] the sponsor?
2008-01-02 03:37 < bjweeks> Alkivar: no, people are about sports, they don't care about companies
2008-01-02 03:37 < ronabop> Pantene Super Bowl!
2008-01-02 03:38 < Evil_Monkey> College Football seems totally confusing. They just seem to make up who plays who
2008-01-02 03:40 < bumm13> nah
2008-01-02 03:40 < bumm13> it helps to understand the regional nature of college football
2008-01-02 03:41 < bumm13> and how many different conferences there are
2008-01-02 03:41 < bumm13> the "bowl games" are sort of a hodgepodge of different conference affiliations for who plays in them
2008-01-02 03:41 < bumm13> nowadays, the better teams play in the "BCS bowls"
2008-01-02 03:42 < Evil_Monkey> "better" :-P
2008-01-02 03:42 < bumm13> which is the lame computer poll system used in lieu of a playoff :P
2008-01-02 03:42 < bumm13> Evil_Monkey: hmm?
2008-01-02 03:42 < bumm13> which game were you watching/
2008-01-02 03:42 < bumm13> ?
2008-01-02 03:42 < Evil_Monkey> they always seem to be complaining on ESPN about one or another team being in the bowl games
2008-01-02 03:42 < bumm13> not all bowl games are created equal
2008-01-02 03:43 < bumm13> and each year conferences can vary a bit in how strong their best teams are
2008-01-02 03:43 * Evil_Monkey is just jealous that he doesn't go to university for free :-)
2008-01-02 03:44 < bumm13> that would make me jealous, too
2008-01-02 03:44 < bumm13> most Americans don't
2008-01-02 03:44 < bumm13> many college football players are just there so they can get into the NFL
2008-01-02 03:44 < bumm13> many don't finish a degree
2008-01-02 03:44 < Evil_Monkey> but isn't it something like only 1% of college players go pro
2008-01-02 03:45 < bumm13> it's more than that
2008-01-02 03:45 < bumm13> at least in Division I-A (FBS)
2008-01-02 03:45 < bumm13> (the big money schools that play often on TV)
2008-01-02 03:46 < Suva> Yet it is totally pointless and gay game :P
2008-01-02 03:46 < Evil_Monkey> What amazes me watching college football is that they can fill a 80,000 seat stadium. When New Zealand plays Australia in rugby, they can struggle to fill 30,000 seats
2008-01-02 03:47 < bumm13> yeah, some schools here have huge followings
2008-01-02 03:47 < bumm13> from people of that state or university alumni
2008-01-02 03:47 < bumm13> (and students, of course)
2008-01-02 03:47 < Guest29926> hello, I need help adding what I think is a VERY important article missing from the english version of wikipedia
2008-01-02 03:48 < Suva> Journey: [[My penis]] got deleted last time I added it :(
2008-01-02 03:48 < bumm13> Evil_Monkey: and unlike the pro game, college football at the I-A level exists in a majority of states
2008-01-02 03:48 < Journey> http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bioespelotema
2008-01-02 03:48 < Evil_Monkey> Suva: {{substub}}
2008-01-02 03:49 < Journey> I don't see it in english
2008-01-02 03:49 < bumm13> only Alaska, N. Dakota, S. Dakota, Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire and Rhode Island don't have at least one such program
2008-01-02 03:49 < bumm13> (and D.C.)
2008-01-02 03:49 < Journey> And I need help in translating "Bioespelotema" to english
2008-01-02 03:49 < Suva> Journey: What is it anyway?
2008-01-02 03:49 < Journey> it's a new form of life
2008-01-02 03:49 * Krimpet goes to a college with no football team whatsoever
2008-01-02 03:50 < Journey> it's it's a mineral lifefrom
2008-01-02 03:50 < Journey> not a coral
