2008-01-12 01:27 * FastLizard4 expects it to lock in a moment
2008-01-12 01:27 < Pilotguy> EVERYONE STOP EDITING AND GO AWAY
2008-01-12 01:28 < SC_StC> heh?
2008-01-12 01:29 < tawker> Pilotguy: watch the caps please
2008-01-12 01:29 * Pilotguy sets tawker on fire
2008-01-12 01:30 < tawker> Pilotguy: CIVL.......
2008-01-12 01:30 * FastLizard4 gives Pilotguy a phaser
2008-01-12 01:31 < phed__> Pilotguy, anyway, you see there is a story behind that mess right?
2008-01-12 01:32 < Pilotguy> phed__- Yes, and as sad as it is, it's certainly not surprizing
2008-01-12 01:32 < phed__> Pilotguy, it was just that the original proponents of a less biopsychiatric psychiatry were highly criticized
2008-01-12 01:32 < Pilotguy> phed__- That's because it was on wikipedia
2008-01-12 01:32 < phed__> hehe
2008-01-12 01:32 < Pilotguy> phed__- Everything on wikipedia is critizied
2008-01-12 01:32 < Pilotguy> phed__- And rightfully so
2008-01-12 01:33 < phed__> So, some controversial people has to be given weight in the article because it was them who started the debate
2008-01-12 01:33 < phed__> And yes, in the US a few of the notable ones was published by scientology because they views overlapped in a degree
2008-01-12 01:33 < Pilotguy> phed__- The only people left on wikipedia are those who are controversial
2008-01-12 01:33 < phed__> >: \
2008-01-12 01:34 < phed__> but its true! : D
2008-01-12 01:34 < Pilotguy> phed__- The uncotroversial people got tired of said controversial people and left
2008-01-12 01:34 < phed__> Because, despite this their material was embraced and spawned a new generation of psychiatrists
2008-01-12 01:35 < phed__> all the old biopsychiatrists are dead now anyway
2008-01-12 01:35 < phed__> and here in norway the non-biopsychiatry has been de facto for some years already
2008-01-12 01:36 < phed__> It is a tricky thing to source, because it is fairly current. :)

2008-01-12 03:17 < amidaniel> NedScott: Yes?
2008-01-12 03:17 < NedScott> :D
2008-01-12 03:18 < amidaniel> bumm13: Yes, the bot

2008-01-12 03:18 < bumm13> does said bot have a name?
2008-01-12 03:18 < amidaniel> bumm13: Yes
2008-01-12 03:19 < bumm13> I'd have named it "ELO"
2008-01-12 03:19 < amidaniel> NedScott: Give me links to the pages instead of the bracketed crap and I might look at it :)

2008-01-12 03:24 < phed____> anyone know anything about low powered grid in homing?
2008-01-12 03:24 < phed____> I have no idea where to start
2008-01-12 03:24 < NedScott> whowha?
2008-01-12 03:24 < phed____> using low voltage electric home grid
2008-01-12 03:25 < phed____> it is a future technology
2008-01-12 03:26 < amidaniel> phed____: Wikipedia knows nothing about it; ergo, I also know nothing about it
2008-01-12 03:27 < phed____> haha
2008-01-12 03:27 < NedScott> is this the same thing as using powerlines for internet?
2008-01-12 03:27 < phed____> not really
2008-01-12 03:27 < NedScott> is it using powerlines for sax?
2008-01-12 03:27 < phed____> but ie ac is now used in power distribution
2008-01-12 03:27 < phed____> sax?
2008-01-12 03:27 < NedScott> teh sax
2008-01-12 03:28 < phed____> and it is used in some settings in industry
2008-01-12 03:28 < phed____> electric yakety sax

2008-01-12 03:34 < NedScott> behold
2008-01-12 03:34 < randar> how do you conjugate plural proper names?
2008-01-12 03:34 < NedScott> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Lost_episodes
2008-01-12 03:35 < NedScott> I call my mom and ask her?
2008-01-12 03:35 < randar> for example, is it "two John," "two Johns," or "two John's"?
2008-01-12 03:35 < NedScott> "hey mom, how do I bake a pie. also, do you know anything about plural proper names?"
2008-01-12 03:35 < randar> very funny
2008-01-12 03:35 < NedScott> two Johns
2008-01-12 03:35 < bumm13> why "two" (or other number)?
2008-01-12 03:36 < bumm13> (as opposed to "the")
2008-01-12 03:36 < The359> two John's wouldn't be usable ever
2008-01-12 03:36 < NedScott> it's like having two iPods
2008-01-12 03:36 < The359> It'd be two Johns' in the possessive
2008-01-12 03:36 < bumm13> :\
2008-01-12 03:36 < randar> for example, it could be "I'm seeing two Johns in front of me"
2008-01-12 03:36 < bumm13> heehee
2008-01-12 03:36 < NedScott> or two Big Macs
2008-01-12 03:36 < randar> yeah but those are objects
2008-01-12 03:36 < NedScott> true, but they're still proper names
2008-01-12 03:37 < NedScott> depending on who you ask
2008-01-12 03:37 < randar> yeah but it's more obvious for objetcs
2008-01-12 03:37 < White_Cat> mmm
2008-01-12 03:37 < White_Cat> I feel violent again
2008-01-12 03:37 < bumm13> if you saw something like a decorative thing mentioning a family household, "the Johns" would work
2008-01-12 03:37 < White_Cat> dang cometstyles isnt here
2008-01-12 03:37 < NedScott> two Santas
2008-01-12 03:37 < bumm13> two Satans
2008-01-12 03:37 < White_Cat> that means I get to abuse bumm13's body
2008-01-12 03:37 < NedScott> o.O
2008-01-12 03:37 * White_Cat slaps bumm13 a bit with a large menos grande...
2008-01-12 03:38 < bumm13> I actually have a story regarding that...
2008-01-12 03:38 < randar> an example would be that I go to a reception and I see two persons named "Julia"
2008-01-12 03:38 < White_Cat> bumm13 regarding menos?
2008-01-12 03:38 < randar> would I say "hey, my two favorite Julias"?
2008-01-12 03:38 < bumm13> in the really-old "The Official Nintendo Player's Guide", it has a lot of game previews while they were still in beta stage
2008-01-12 03:38 < bumm13> in Ghosts
2008-01-12 03:38 < bumm13> er
2008-01-12 03:39 < bumm13> in Ghosts 'N Goblins, one enemy (before name change) is called Satan
2008-01-12 03:39 < bumm13> so somewhere in the text it refers to "two Satans" XD
2008-01-12 03:39 < randar> I don't remember G&G having any text
2008-01-12 03:39 < bumm13> :(
2008-01-12 03:39 < bumm13> he left
2008-01-12 03:40 < bumm13> randar: no, in the game preview from this book
2008-01-12 03:40 < randar> ah
2008-01-12 03:40 < randar> sorry
2008-01-12 03:40 < bumm13> that's fine :)
2008-01-12 03:40 < randar> might be an error from Nintendo's part
2008-01-12 03:40 < randar> monsters probably didn't even have any names
2008-01-12 03:40 * bumm13 ponders whether NedScott is sensitive to the notion of Satan
2008-01-12 03:40 < bumm13> randar: oh, they did
2008-01-12 03:40 < bumm13> but these were early previews
2008-01-12 03:41 < bumm13> another game that made changes later was Double Dribble (IIRC)
2008-01-12 03:41 < White_Cat> bumm13 I read that as "two santas"
2008-01-12 03:41 < bumm13> to its team nicknames
2008-01-12 03:41 < randar> is this referring to the gargoyle monster?
2008-01-12 03:41 < bumm13> I think it's referring to what became the "red devil"
2008-01-12 03:42 < bumm13> (to eliminate having both a Lucifer and a Satan, or something)
2008-01-12 03:42 < randar> where can you find those monsters' names? is this stored in the ROM data?
2008-01-12 03:42 < bumm13> possibly
2008-01-12 03:43 < randar> with the small amount of monsters this game has, I wonder why they'd bother to name them
2008-01-12 03:44 < bumm13> (oh, the beta-stage "red devils" were renamed "Sons of Satan" :P )
2008-01-12 03:44 < bumm13> reference?
2008-01-12 03:45 < bumm13> (and the beta-stage "Satan" became called "the Red Guard")
2008-01-12 03:45 < bumm13> anyway, this is way beyond what I intended, I don't even play this silly game :P
2008-01-12 03:46 < bumm13> although I find it somewhat comical
2008-01-12 03:54 < Zeos> umm when will the article on the GNAA be voted in
2008-01-12 03:54 < bumm13> "voted in"?
2008-01-12 03:54 < Zeos> whatever..
2008-01-12 03:55 < bumm13> well, I'm not sure what you mean exactly
2008-01-12 03:55 < bumm13> restored?
2008-01-12 03:55 < The359> you mean when will it be allowed back in?
2008-01-12 03:55 < The359> When they do something worth mentioning
2008-01-12 03:55 < Zeos> they have
2008-01-12 03:55 < The359> Didn't you ask this yesterday?
2008-01-12 03:55 < bumm13> lol!
2008-01-12 03:55 < Zeos> jews did wtc
2008-01-12 03:56 < DannyLilithborne> :\
2008-01-12 03:56 < bumm13> morons....
2008-01-12 03:56 < DannyLilithborne> i wanted to reply :(
2008-01-12 03:56 < bumm13> uh, why?
2008-01-12 03:56 < The359> he is right about Jews doing WTC though
2008-01-12 03:56 < The359> ;)
2008-01-12 03:56 < bumm13> le sigh
2008-01-12 03:56 * The359 is joking
2008-01-12 03:58 < Triona> The359 may actually be right if memory serves. Jews and Arabs share a common descent, proportedly from the Biblical Jewish people.
2008-01-12 03:58 < The359> Don't try to explain it
2008-01-12 04:00 < phed____> they are all aliens
2008-01-12 04:00 < phed____> true story
2008-01-12 04:00 < phed____> 20% of americans believe so
2008-01-12 04:02 < Ningyou> who? mexicans?
2008-01-12 04:02 < DannyLilithborne> 87% of statistics are made up
2008-01-12 04:03 < phed____> you see
2008-01-12 04:03 < Luna-San> Not true. Studies say it's only 80%
2008-01-12 04:03 < phed____> they should blind test statistics
2008-01-12 04:03 < bumm13> Hebrew and Arabic are both Semitic languages
2008-01-12 04:03 < bumm13> (that have diverged a fair deal)
2008-01-12 04:03 < phed____> if you ask a neither true or false thing 20% would be wrong
2008-01-12 04:03 < phed____> *false question
2008-01-12 04:08 < bumm13> "peace" in Hebrew: shalom
2008-01-12 04:08 < bumm13> "peace" in Arabic: salaam

2008-01-12 04:38 < brown_cat> Formentar: brown
2008-01-12 04:39 < Formentar> I can't recall ever seeing a cat that was really brown.
2008-01-12 04:39 < brown_cat> look at puss in boots on shreck :)
2008-01-12 04:39 < brown_cat> this will be fun, DannyLilithborne can have a go - the program is barney and friends - find the black or asian kid ^_^
2008-01-12 04:39 < Formentar> Then again, I haven't seen many pink elephants either, and they surely exist. ;-)
2008-01-12 04:39 < brown_cat> xD

2008-01-12 04:58 < Rinn> I'm listening to this orchestral arrangement of a music track, and I recognize it for some reason. So I Googled the name and discovered it was from Final Fantasy, so I put the matter to rest.
2008-01-12 04:58 < Rinn> But it's from FF3. I never played FF3.
2008-01-12 04:58 < The359> Which FF3?
2008-01-12 04:58 < Rinn> Japanese one.

2008-01-12 05:16 < Mike_H> Peggy: Well, then I couldn't possibly remember...
2008-01-12 05:16 < Mike_H> *My Guy starts playing, Peggy sings along*
2008-01-12 05:17 < bumm13> Mike_H - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tcxmQlCn_r8 (funny parody/hoax) :)
2008-01-12 05:19 < Mike_H> hahahaha
2008-01-12 05:19 < Mike_H> that's great
2008-01-12 05:19 < bumm13> it is :D
2008-01-12 05:19 < Mike_H> To Scratch a Thief
2008-01-12 05:19 < bumm13> it's quite elaborate, really
2008-01-12 05:20 * bumm13 wonders who the middle-aged "detective" guy really is....
2008-01-12 05:20 < White_Cat> bumm13 you following the episode war thing?
2008-01-12 05:23 < Mike_H> bumm13: It's Dan Frazer
2008-01-12 05:23 < Mike_H> from [[Kojak (TV series)]]
2008-01-12 05:23 < Mike_H> which "Boris" is patterned on ;)
2008-01-12 05:23 < bumm13> ah ok
2008-01-12 05:23 < bumm13> I figured as much
2008-01-12 05:24 < Mike_H> bumm13: he also played Detective McCloskey on As the World Turns
2008-01-12 05:24 < Mike_H> from 1988 to 1996
2008-01-12 05:24 < Mike_H> he was the police chief on that show as well, who ended up dying of Alzheimer's
2008-01-12 05:24 < bumm13> ah :)
2008-01-12 05:24 < bumm13> aww
2008-01-12 05:24 < Mike_H> (the actor is still alive and unafflicted with Alzheimer's)
2008-01-12 05:24 < bumm13> :(
2008-01-12 05:24 < bumm13> oh ok ;)
2008-01-12 05:24 < Mike_H> yeah, haha
2008-01-12 05:24 < Mike_H> only the character died of it
2008-01-12 05:25 < Mike_H> I used to have a rather scintillating cliffhanger of ATWT on atpe
2008-01-12 05:25 < Mike_H> *tape
2008-01-12 05:25 < Mike_H> from 1990
2008-01-12 05:25 < Mike_H> the Friday cliffhanger ended with Det. McCloskey choking on his dinner! WHO KNEW IF HE'D SURVIVE ON MONDAY?!
2008-01-12 05:25 < Mike_H> (he did, obviously)
2008-01-12 05:26 < bumm13> heh
2008-01-12 05:26 < Mike_H> Yeah, ATWT can move like molasses sometimes
2008-01-12 05:26 < Mike_H> it's ridiculous
2008-01-12 05:27 < Mike_H> the gay couple on the show right now has been together for months and they have not progressed past a kiss.
2008-01-12 05:27 < bumm13> I find it interesting that two popular 70s-era detective shows had lead roles of "unusual" ethnic backgrounds :)
2008-01-12 05:27 < bumm13> heh
2008-01-12 05:27 < Mike_H> but I think that's CBS's failing
2008-01-12 05:27 < Mike_H> I don't think they want a gay couple to consummate their relationship like a straight couple would.
2008-01-12 05:27 < brown_cat_> O_O
2008-01-12 05:27 < bumm13> (the Mannix character was Armenian and the Kojak character was Greek)
2008-01-12 05:28 < bumm13> heh
2008-01-12 05:28 < Mike_H> our ATWT article says
2008-01-12 05:28 < Mike_H> Phillips' style favored gradual evolution over radical change. Slow, conversational, and emotionally intense, the show moved at the pace of life itself - and sometimes even more slowly than that. Each new addition to the cast was done in a gradual manner, and was usually a key contact to one of the members of the Hughes family. As such, the show got a reputation as being quite conservative.
2008-01-12 05:29 < bumm13> CBS is the most "conservative" of the Big Three (+ One) networks
2008-01-12 05:29 < Rinn> CBS, NBC, ABC, and Fox?
2008-01-12 05:29 < CableModem> +one = toyota?
2008-01-12 05:29 < bumm13> tends to lean a lot towards an older demographic, with some exceptions
2008-01-12 05:29 < bumm13> :x
2008-01-12 05:29 < bumm13> Rinn: yes
2008-01-12 05:29 < Rinn> Hooray!
2008-01-12 05:29 < CableModem> TOYOTA NOT FOX
2008-01-12 05:29 < Luna-San> I liked the idea where Fox wanted to just fill a jetliner with explosives and crash it. BOOM, one-hour special.
2008-01-12 05:30 * CableModem hits rinn with a foam bat
2008-01-12 05:30 < Mike_H> Yes, CBS is perhaps the most conservative network.
2008-01-12 05:30 < bumm13> it'd be better than King of the Hill ;p
2008-01-12 05:30 * Rinn gets a concussion and dies
2008-01-12 05:30 < CableModem> crap.
2008-01-12 05:30 < CableModem> why do you always die when i do things to you
2008-01-12 05:30 < Mike_H> It's still known as "The Tiffany Network," even though the programming that inspired such a name all died by the end of the 1970s.
2008-01-12 05:30 < bumm13> yeah
2008-01-12 05:30 < Luna-San> To teach you a valuable lesson about love
2008-01-12 05:31 * CableModem gives Luna-San rinn's body
2008-01-12 05:31 < bumm13> Mike: my mom says the old people at the assisted living facility she works at still watch TPIR with Drew Carey as host ;)
2008-01-12 05:31 < bumm13> CBS ownz the old peoplezzzzzzadgh;dhf!1!!!11one!
2008-01-12 05:31 < Luna-San> Best late Christmas present ever?
2008-01-12 05:31 < Mike_H> bumm13: When my grandmother worked at the nursing home, all of them watched The Young and the Restless.
2008-01-12 05:32 < bumm13> heehee
2008-01-12 05:32 < Rinn> The Price is Right?
2008-01-12 05:32 < bumm13> yeah
2008-01-12 05:32 < Mike_H> which my grandmother hated
2008-01-12 05:32 < Mike_H> since she always watched NBC soaps
2008-01-12 05:32 < bumm13> Rinn: yes
2008-01-12 05:32 < Rinn> Drew Carey is hosting The Price is Right?
2008-01-12 05:32 < bumm13> yes
2008-01-12 05:32 < bumm13> Bob retired after last season
2008-01-12 05:32 < Luna-San> Drew Carey? That's... definitely not Barker
2008-01-12 05:32 * Rinn 's mind boggles
2008-01-12 05:32 < bumm13> indeed not
2008-01-12 05:32 < Mike_H> after a year or so my grandmother stopped watching NBC soaps and switched over to CBS with the nursing home
2008-01-12 05:32 < bumm13> so Bob Barker was host from 1972-2006
2008-01-12 05:32 < Mike_H> no, 1972-2007
2008-01-12 05:33 < bumm13> oh ok
2008-01-12 05:33 < bumm13> duh
2008-01-12 05:33 < CableModem> lol what if barker got senile
2008-01-12 05:33 < bumm13> most of '07
2008-01-12 05:33 < Mike_H> CableModem: ...he was kind of getting there
2008-01-12 05:33 < CableModem> that would make for some hilarious episodes
2008-01-12 05:33 < bumm13> yeah, definitely old
2008-01-12 05:33 < Mike_H> honestly, I love Bob Barker and all
2008-01-12 05:33 < Luna-San> Price is Right without Bob Barker is like Wikipedia without a project namespace -- perhaps more functional, but damn is it boring.
2008-01-12 05:33 < bumm13> and fragile
2008-01-12 05:33 < Mike_H> but it was his time
2008-01-12 05:33 < Mike_H> actually, 1996 was probably his time
2008-01-12 05:33 < bumm13> heh, yeah
2008-01-12 05:33 < CableModem> lol why
2008-01-12 05:33 < CableModem> bob is awesome the chicks love him
2008-01-12 05:33 < Mike_H> too bad Bob can't remember his name half the time
2008-01-12 05:33 < CableModem> lol really
2008-01-12 05:34 < Mike_H> seriously, the last year or two it was on, you could totally tell there was a difference
2008-01-12 05:34 < bumm13> 35 years is a long damn time to do anything
2008-01-12 05:34 < Rinn> How can Drew Carey be hosting The Price is Right? Barker and his silly-looking microphone embodies the show.
2008-01-12 05:34 < Mike_H> and he's 85 years old right now, that's usually around the time senility starts kicking in
2008-01-12 05:34 < bumm13> plus he had been on other shows before TPIR
2008-01-12 05:34 < CableModem> drew still uses the silly mic
2008-01-12 05:34 < bumm13> many men die long before 85
2008-01-12 05:34 < Luna-San> I'm always surprised more people don't use the "other guy's guess plus one dollar" method
2008-01-12 05:34 < Mike_H> Truth or Consequences was an American quiz show, originally hosted on NBC radio by Ralph Edwards from 1940 to 1957, and later on television by Edwards himself from 1950 to 1951, Jack Bailey from 1954 to 1955, Bob Barker from 1956 to 1975, Bob Hilton from 1977 to 1978 and Larry Anderson from 1987 to 1988.
2008-01-12 05:34 < CableModem> luna lets go on TPIR
2008-01-12 05:35 < Luna-San> Aight
2008-01-12 05:35 < Mike_H> So Bob was working over 50 years non-stop in TV.
2008-01-12 05:35 < Luna-San> Let me get my robe and wizard hat
2008-01-12 05:35 < CableModem> haha sweet
2008-01-12 05:35 < bumm13> which is an incredibly-long time
2008-01-12 05:35 < CableModem> but you have to get an iron on transfer and make your robe say I LOVE BOB
2008-01-12 05:35 < Luna-San> Will do
2008-01-12 05:35 < bumm13> since almost the beginning of the medium
2008-01-12 05:35 < Mike_H> Apart from Ralph Edwards, Bob Barker was perhaps the most identifiable host of Truth or Consequences.
2008-01-12 05:35 < CableModem> lol lets go interview bob
2008-01-12 05:36 < bumm13> I mean, geez, he met his late wife at an *Ella Fitzgerald* concert
2008-01-12 05:36 < Mike_H> Dorothy Jo?
2008-01-12 05:36 < bumm13> yes
2008-01-12 05:37 < bumm13> (and she died a long time ago)
2008-01-12 05:37 < Mike_H> Bob Barker and his wife, the former Dorothy Jo Gideon, were high-school sweethearts who married in 1945. Years later, it would be Dorothy Jo (as well as Barker's mother Tillie) who inspired Bob to become an advocate of animals. Dorothy Jo died of lung cancer on October 19, 1981. The couple had no children.
2008-01-12 05:37 < bumm13> yeah
2008-01-12 05:37 < bumm13> I mean, I don't even remember 1981
2008-01-12 05:37 < Mike_H> 1981
2008-01-12 05:37 < Mike_H> back when Bob still had brown hair
2008-01-12 05:37 < bumm13> and many here weren't born yet
2008-01-12 05:37 < Mike_H> :D
2008-01-12 05:37 < bumm13> heh
2008-01-12 05:37 < CableModem> i dont even remember 1981
2008-01-12 05:37 < bumm13> :P
2008-01-12 05:38 < bumm13> I only have photo proof that I existed then ;)
2008-01-12 05:38 < CableModem> I dont. :[
2008-01-12 05:38 < bumm13> (other than documents)
2008-01-12 05:38 < bumm13> my earliest "useful" memories are from about Dec. 1982 on
2008-01-12 05:38 * CableModem photoshops himself into 1981
2008-01-12 05:38 < Rinn> I don't think you were invented yet, Cable.
2008-01-12 05:39 < bumm13> heh
2008-01-12 05:39 < Mike_H> bumm13: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=pR6Kqb8KU58
2008-01-12 05:39 < Mike_H> March 1987
2008-01-12 05:39 < bumm13> no high speed internetzzz
2008-01-12 05:39 < Mike_H> back when Bob still had brown hair
2008-01-12 05:39 < bumm13> :)
2008-01-12 05:39 < Mike_H> On October 15 1987, Barker did what other MCs almost never did: he renounced hair dye and allowed his hair to go gray. It was a shock to the studio audience because it hadn't been publicized in advance; it was a shock to the home audience because the change came in the middle of the week at that time.
2008-01-12 05:40 < bumm13> heh
2008-01-12 05:40 < bumm13> I remember when he did that
2008-01-12 05:41 < Mike_H> October 15 - Bob Barker, host of The Price Is Right, stops dyeing his hair brown and appears on-stage for the first time with white hair. He is given a minute-long standing ovation by the audience.
2008-01-12 05:41 < Mike_H> from [[1987 in television]]
2008-01-12 05:41 < bumm13> "HAPPIEST HOUR"
2008-01-12 05:41 < bumm13> "FANTASTIC PRIZES"
2008-01-12 05:41 < CableModem> what time is it?! HAPPY HOUR!
2008-01-12 05:41 < bumm13> "GREAT CONTESTANTS"
2008-01-12 05:41 * CableModem passes the beer around
2008-01-12 05:42 < Mike_H> bumm13: I believe the messages that were shown on his first white hair day were
2008-01-12 05:42 < Mike_H> "HAPPY TIMES"
2008-01-12 05:42 < Mike_H> "LOTS OF WINNERS"
2008-01-12 05:42 < Mike_H> "HOUR OF FUN!"
2008-01-12 05:42 < Rinn> Duck Tales!
2008-01-12 05:42 < Rinn> I liked Duck Tales.
2008-01-12 05:42 < CableModem> millions of jews won fantastic prizes in the holocaust
2008-01-12 05:42 < Mike_H> bumm13: I had watched the clip before but I can't locate it now
2008-01-12 05:43 < Mike_H> In 1985 or so they changed the opening part to show three different catchy great things about the show
2008-01-12 05:43 < Mike_H> One opening I saw from 1985, before the change, just said "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!" three times in a row
2008-01-12 05:43 < bumm13> CableModem: wtf?
2008-01-12 05:43 < bumm13> Mike_H: heh
2008-01-12 05:43 < Mike_H> bumm13: yeah, I disagree with CableModem
2008-01-12 05:43 < Mike_H> none of them won A NEW CAAAAAAAAAAR
2008-01-12 05:43 < bumm13> heh
2008-01-12 05:43 < CableModem> LOL
2008-01-12 05:43 < CableModem> or A HOTTUBBBBBB
2008-01-12 05:44 < CableModem> o_o
2008-01-12 05:44 < bumm13> fun fact: the first prize on TPIR was a fur coat
2008-01-12 05:44 < CableModem> :X
2008-01-12 05:44 < Mike_H> A TRIP TO TOKYOOOOOOOOO
2008-01-12 05:44 < CableModem> or A YEARS SUPPLY OF KY JELLLLLY!
2008-01-12 05:44 < bumm13> (a tad ironic given Bob's animal rights stuff later on)
2008-01-12 05:44 < CableModem> o_o;
2008-01-12 05:44 < bumm13> :p
2008-01-12 05:44 < CableModem> ^^;
2008-01-12 05:44 < bumm13> I saw a 70s TPIR clip where one of the car prizes was a Chevy Vega :D
2008-01-12 05:45 < CableModem> :D
2008-01-12 05:45 < CableModem> how about a yugo
2008-01-12 05:45 < bumm13> sky blue color
2008-01-12 05:45 < CableModem> o_o
2008-01-12 05:45 < CableModem> or an ARRRRVEEEEE
2008-01-12 05:45 < Luna-San> What's ironic about a year's supply of KY?
2008-01-12 05:45 < Mike_H> bumm13: I found the "I CAN'T BELIEVE IT!" opening
2008-01-12 05:45 * Luna-San runs
2008-01-12 05:45 < Mike_H> October 29, 1985, the last day Johnny Olsen was the announcer. The next Monday it switched to Rod Roddy.
2008-01-12 05:45 < Mike_H> http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=jYN5VLTbeCU
2008-01-12 05:45 < CableModem> geezus luna how much ky do you use in a year
2008-01-12 05:45 < CableModem> o_o
2008-01-12 05:45 < Luna-San> An ironic amount
2008-01-12 05:46 < CableModem> an ironic amount?
2008-01-12 05:46 < Mike_H> which was November 4, so the other air dates did not have an announcer
2008-01-12 05:46 < CableModem> o_O
2008-01-12 05:46 < bumm13> heh, that female contestant's glasses remind of 80s-era optical store commercials ;)
2008-01-12 05:46 < Mike_H> I've said this to you before
2008-01-12 05:47 < Mike_H> but I still don't get why they had to announce it as "the fabulous 60-minute Price is Right" for 30 years
2008-01-12 05:47 < Mike_H> only really old people like my grandmother forgot it wasn't 30 minutes anymore
2008-01-12 05:47 < CableModem> hahaha
2008-01-12 05:47 < CableModem> because its fabulous
2008-01-12 05:47 < CableModem> with the prizes and all.
2008-01-12 05:48 < Mike_H> fantastic prizes.
2008-01-12 05:48 < bumm13> Holly Halstrom had an "almost mullet" in 1987
2008-01-12 05:48 < Mike_H> Remember Kathleen?
2008-01-12 05:48 < Mike_H> The black one?
2008-01-12 05:48 < bumm13> yes
2008-01-12 05:48 < Mike_H> She looked like a black Peggy Bundy.
2008-01-12 05:48 < bumm13> heh
2008-01-12 05:48 < Luna-San> CableModem: Yes. Is that bad? >.>
2008-01-12 05:48 < cimon> Mike_H: do you feel bad about the HQ leaving your neck of the woods?
2008-01-12 05:48 < Mike_H> Kathleen Bradley (born January 10, 1951 in Girard, Ohio) was primarily known as a "Barker's Beauty" on the daytime game show The Price Is Right from 1990 to 2000.
2008-01-12 05:48 < CableModem> Yes, very bad Luna-San.
2008-01-12 05:49 < Luna-San> CableModem: Oh. Well. What are you gonna do about it, then?
2008-01-12 05:49 < CableModem> Um. Ban you from ky jelly.
2008-01-12 05:49 < CableModem> :o
2008-01-12 05:49 < bumm13> o.o
2008-01-12 05:49 < Mike_H> cimon: Not really, it's clear from comments made by Jimmy and others that they really really did not like Florida, and I say good riddance, really. I'm a Florida native so I'm never going to say bad things about it. If they hate it so badly then they can leave. Good riddance.
2008-01-12 05:49 < cimon> Mike_H: I don't know why you should bring up Peggy, Christina Applegate was so much more hot...
2008-01-12 05:49 < Luna-San> :'(
2008-01-12 05:49 * CableModem gonna sleep
2008-01-12 05:50 < CableModem> nitey nite lube-san
2008-01-12 05:50 < Mike_H> and Floridians are almost trained to hate California
2008-01-12 05:50 < bumm13> Mike_H: San Francisco is no paradise
2008-01-12 05:50 < cimon> Qhat was christina applegates characters name?
2008-01-12 05:50 < Mike_H> basically because they offer a lot of the same things but with more pollution and earthquakes and a lot more crime and such
2008-01-12 05:50 < Mike_H> so we think we're better
2008-01-12 05:50 < Mike_H> cimon: Kelly Bundy

2008-01-12 05:52 < DannyLilithborne> ^_^
2008-01-12 05:53 < zocky> morning
2008-01-12 05:53 < bumm13> Mike_H: nevermind that everything is more expensive in San Francisco
2008-01-12 05:53 < bumm13> hiya zocky
2008-01-12 05:53 < cimon> Mike_H: Christina Applegate had an awesome 20 questions on Playboy, talking about the anti-acne properties of semen for instance....
2008-01-12 05:53 < bumm13> :P
2008-01-12 05:54 < brown_cat_> xD
2008-01-12 05:55 < zocky> if you're going to san francisco, be sure to wear either some flowers in your hair, or leather pants and nipple clips
2008-01-12 05:55 < bumm13> the latter being more contemporary ;)
2008-01-12 05:56 < brown_cat_> O_o
2008-01-12 05:56 < bumm13> when the day is over, SF is just another large city
2008-01-12 05:56 * brown_cat_ is now scared of going to SF
2008-01-12 05:56 < cimon> And make sure to fail in crowd control in a big way.
2008-01-12 05:56 < bumm13> (and one without ample parking ;p )
2008-01-12 05:57 < bumm13> San Francisco kind of likes to think of itself as the "New York City of the (U.S.) West Coast"
2008-01-12 05:59 < zocky> yeah, more "european", whatever that's supposed to mean
2008-01-12 05:59 < bumm13> only without the "business above all else" notions
2008-01-12 05:59 < cimon> bumm13: is Manson still inside?
2008-01-12 05:59 < bumm13> "bohemian"
2008-01-12 05:59 < Rinn> "A third interpretation would be to take 'cubic acre' literally--thus making McDuck's cash holdings extensive enough to require six-dimensional storage. Taken literally, this would be over 340 billion cubic square yards (yd6). Taken this way, one may consider McDuck's wealth as incalculable."
2008-01-12 05:59 < bumm13> ;)
2008-01-12 05:59 < Rinn> :o
2008-01-12 06:00 < bumm13> Rinn: six-dimensional? wtf?
2008-01-12 06:00 * Rinn shrugs
2008-01-12 06:00 < bumm13> a "cubic acre" would be three-dimensional
2008-01-12 06:01 < bumm13> is that off of a WP article?
2008-01-12 06:01 < Rinn> Mm-hm.
2008-01-12 06:01 < Rinn> [[Money Bin]]
2008-01-12 06:01 < bumm13> please kill that section ;p
2008-01-12 06:01 < bumm13> it's weasel worded
2008-01-12 06:01 < bumm13> I really question whether that needs to be its own article (separate from Scrooge McDuck)
2008-01-12 06:02 < Rinn> So have others.
2008-01-12 06:02 < bumm13> heh
2008-01-12 06:02 < White_Cat> bumm13 give me a sec
2008-01-12 06:02 < White_Cat> I will blank both articles
2008-01-12 06:02 < White_Cat> and all character articles
2008-01-12 06:02 < White_Cat> and the character list
2008-01-12 06:02 < White_Cat> would you mind that?
2008-01-12 06:02 < bumm13> Scrooge McDuck was original a comic book-only character
2008-01-12 06:03 < White_Cat> NN cruft
2008-01-12 06:03 < DannyLilithborne> lol Money Bin
2008-01-12 06:03 < bumm13> he made one early animated appearance in a Disney short about saving money and finances ;)
2008-01-12 06:03 < DannyLilithborne> revert, notable
2008-01-12 06:03 < DannyLilithborne> :D
2008-01-12 06:03 < DannyLilithborne> that's my favorite edit summary ever
2008-01-12 06:03 < White_Cat> bumm13 will you ignore me all the time?
2008-01-12 06:03 < White_Cat> your love is overflowing you know
2008-01-12 06:04 < bumm13> then didn't make another one until the 1983 Disney rendition of Dickens' A Christmas Carol
2008-01-12 06:04 < bumm13> (an ironic name since he wasn't created specifically for that featurette)
2008-01-12 06:05 < Mike_H> bumm13: http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=p3N4CFE-9KY
2008-01-12 06:05 < Mike_H> I miss this version of the theme song
2008-01-12 06:05 < Mike_H> (Jeopardy!, from 1993)
2008-01-12 06:05 < DannyLilithborne> yeah I miss the old school theme too
2008-01-12 06:05 < zocky> there's a whole generation with a new explanation...
2008-01-12 06:05 < zocky> I need another song for my earworm
2008-01-12 06:06 < DannyLilithborne> 'guitars make everything better!'
2008-01-12 06:06 < Mike_H> bumm13: This one was used from 1991 until the end of November sweeps, 1996.
2008-01-12 06:06 < Mike_H> the set was also changed with the them at the end of November 1996.
2008-01-12 06:06 < Mike_H> *theme
2008-01-12 06:07 < zocky> bumm13, cubic acre wouldn't be 3d
2008-01-12 06:07 < bumm13> why not?
2008-01-12 06:07 < zocky> because acre is already 2d
2008-01-12 06:07 < bumm13> Mike_H: yeah, I liked it better as well
2008-01-12 06:07 < bumm13> then it's worded incorrectly
2008-01-12 06:08 < zocky> it's all unimportant cruft of course
2008-01-12 06:08 < bumm13> because a money bin isn't a six-dimensional entity ;)
2008-01-12 06:08 < bumm13> yeah
2008-01-12 06:09 < zocky> "cubic acre" is one of the many jokes from scrooge mcduck
2008-01-12 06:09 < bumm13> ahhh
2008-01-12 06:09 < bumm13> silly duck
2008-01-12 06:09 < zocky> we surely don't need an explanation of each one of them
2008-01-12 06:09 < brown_cat_> O_O
2008-01-12 06:09 < bumm13> heck no
2008-01-12 06:09 < brown_cat_> bumm13 doesn't like ducks?
2008-01-12 06:09 < Mike_H> bumm13: and I miss the little TV talking bubble thing
2008-01-12 06:10 < Mike_H> you know, the one to show viewers that a show was closed-captioned
2008-01-12 06:10 < bumm13> heh
2008-01-12 06:10 < Mike_H> That's how I know I'm old
2008-01-12 06:10 < bumm13> why don't they show those anymore?
2008-01-12 06:10 < DannyLilithborne> your arms are broken
2008-01-12 06:10 < White_Cat> zocky well
2008-01-12 06:10 < Mike_H> because it's now a given that shows are closed-captioned, I believe nowadays it's mandated by law that new shows have to be.
2008-01-12 06:10 < bumm13> ah ok
2008-01-12 06:10 < White_Cat> we want no mention of anything on fiction
2008-01-12 06:10 < bumm13> I still like the CC music note characters the best ;)
2008-01-12 06:11 < Mike_H> Remember that 1993 was only the first year that new TVs had closed-captioning programmed into them.
2008-01-12 06:11 < bumm13> yeah, makes sense
2008-01-12 06:12 < zocky> ok, somebody translate that for me (or point me to the right article)
2008-01-12 06:12 < zocky> what's closed-captioned?
2008-01-12 06:12 < White_Cat> Luna-San
2008-01-12 06:12 < Mike_H> zocky: Closed captioning, for the deaf and hard of hearing, the words will show up on the screen for them
2008-01-12 06:12 < White_Cat> you out there?
2008-01-12 06:12 < zocky> ah
2008-01-12 06:12 < bumm13_> (? Music ?)
2008-01-12 06:12 < Luna-San> White_Cat: Yeah, what's up?
2008-01-12 06:12 < Mike_H> bumm13: heh
2008-01-12 06:12 < Mike_H> the little notes
2008-01-12 06:12 < Mike_H> I love that
2008-01-12 06:12 < bumm13> yeah :D
2008-01-12 06:13 < zocky> Mike_H, using teletext or what?
2008-01-12 06:13 < White_Cat> Luna-San pm
2008-01-12 06:13 < bumm13> it's a special type of teletext, yeah
2008-01-12 06:13 < Mike_H> zocky: Since 1993 in the United States, all new TVs have to have closed captioning programmed into the device.
2008-01-12 06:13 < Mike_H> Before then it was teletext and user-subscribed.
2008-01-12 06:13 < zocky> ah, we don't have that
2008-01-12 06:14 < Mike_H> To access closed captions on TVs in the US
