2008-02-06 00:33 < Demi> of course in europe you're kind of a douche if you own a car at all, right?
2008-02-06 00:33 < TheWeasel> depends on what profession :-P
2008-02-06 00:33 < TheWeasel> in law it's not too bad
2008-02-06 00:34 < bumm13> law = douche (usually)
2008-02-06 00:34 < TheWeasel> in sociology, bicycles are almost opulent.
2008-02-06 00:34 < Demi> i'm wallowing in an examination of our financial mismanagement from last year
2008-02-06 00:34 < bumm13> (in all countries)
2008-02-06 00:34 < TheWeasel> correct.
2008-02-06 00:34 < bumm13> Demi - :(
2008-02-06 00:35 < TheWeasel> People in law have a terrible tendency to Ralph Lauren polo shirts in pink with popped collars
2008-02-06 00:35 < TheWeasel> and enormous amounts of gel.
2008-02-06 00:36 < Demi> hair gel? or body lubricant so they can squirm out of any situation?
2008-02-06 00:37 < TheWeasel> Both.
2008-02-06 00:37 < TheWeasel> They're lawyers in the making, duh.
2008-02-06 00:38 * bumm13 NP: Tommy James & the Shondells - Crimson and Clover (1968)
2008-02-06 00:38 < TheWeasel> heh, nice band
2008-02-06 00:39 < TheWeasel> *something random by Public Image Ltd.
2008-02-06 00:40 * Mike_H NP: Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston - It Takes Two (1966)
2008-02-06 00:43 < bumm13> TheWeasel: well, not so much a band as Tommy James and whatever session guys were working with him at a given time ;)
2008-02-06 00:43 < TheWeasel> yea
2008-02-06 00:43 < bumm13> he's a tad underrated, IMO
2008-02-06 00:44 < TheWeasel> yea, not a household name to most
2008-02-06 00:46 < TheWeasel> Obama wins AK
2008-02-06 00:54 < TheWeasel> "resiliency"?
2008-02-06 00:56 < Luna-San> Yes. It reduces critical hit chance and damage in PvP.
2008-02-06 00:56 * Luna-San runs
2008-02-06 00:57 < doomssassin> Pink Floyd - Brain Damage
2008-02-06 00:57 < Demi> TheWeasel - that kind of thing is a pet peeve of mine but it's also pretty common.
2008-02-06 00:58 < StayTuned> hello Demi Luna-San
2008-02-06 00:58 < Luna-San> Lo~
2008-02-06 00:59 < StayTuned> nice to see some familliar faces
2008-02-06 01:02 < Demi> hi StayTuned
2008-02-06 01:04 < StayTuned> hi Demi
2008-02-06 01:05 < StayTuned> anyone read the NY Times tonight?
2008-02-06 01:05 < jeremyb> yup
2008-02-06 01:05 < StayTuned> pretty good stuff in there
2008-02-06 01:05 < StayTuned> need to read some more before I sleep
2008-02-06 01:07 < StayTuned> looking fair for Obama - at least 3 good states
2008-02-06 01:09 < StayTuned> Illinois and Georgia and Delaware.
2008-02-06 01:11 < StayTuned> interesting night
2008-02-06 01:11 < StayTuned> just chilling out listening to my ipod
2008-02-06 01:12 * wahrheit is waiting on his download of the latest episode of House :P
2008-02-06 01:13 < wahrheit> i'm keeping my eye on the primary results too
2008-02-06 01:14 < wahrheit> boo, obama is losing CA and NY and MA
2008-02-06 01:15 < Mark_Ryan> obama is all talk and no policy
2008-02-06 01:15 < Mark_Ryan> what this country needs is a woman
2008-02-06 01:15 < Mark_Ryan> and that woman is Oprah
2008-02-06 01:15 < bumm13> ...
2008-02-06 01:15 < wahrheit> hahah.
2008-02-06 01:15 < wahrheit> oprah.
2008-02-06 01:15 < Demi> oprama
2008-02-06 01:15 < bumm13> heh
2008-02-06 01:15 < Mark_Ryan> :)
2008-02-06 01:16 < Mark_Ryan> she could present her show from the oval office every day
2008-02-06 01:16 < NotACow> meow.
2008-02-06 01:16 < wahrheit> NotACow must be a cat :P
2008-02-06 01:17 < Luna-San> Paula Deen should do standup comedy.
2008-02-06 01:17 * Krimpet doesn't want to even think of the possibility of Dr. Phil as VP... :x
2008-02-06 01:17 < Luna-San> With a stick of butter for a mic.
2008-02-06 01:17 < Luna-San> And if she gets hungry during the show...
2008-02-06 01:18 < Luna-San> Oprah would probably start a Bill of the Month club; I'm not sure whether to be horrified or not at the idea.
2008-02-06 01:22 < ggreer> Mark_Ryan: if oprah did her show from the white house nobody would tune in. they won't care if nicholas sarkozy is the guest
2008-02-06 01:22 < ggreer> they want tom cruise and brad pitt
2008-02-06 01:24 < Mike_H> Luna-San: Be nice to Paula Deen.
2008-02-06 01:24 < Mike_H> She's fabulous, y'all!
2008-02-06 01:25 < Luna-San> I wanna see her on Iron Chef
2008-02-06 01:25 < Luna-San> ggreer: Forget jumping on couches, when you *could* be jumping on the president's desk!
2008-02-06 01:29 < Vike91> hello
2008-02-06 01:29 < bumm13> hi
2008-02-06 01:31 < SJFriedl> Had my first edit war today - I always give up immediately because I'm a wimp.
2008-02-06 01:31 < SJFriedl> woot :-)
2008-02-06 01:32 < Mike_H> SJFriedl: I'm stressed and nervous :(
2008-02-06 01:32 < SJFriedl> worried that Dennis Kucinich might win the nomination? Relax: he won't :-)
2008-02-06 01:32 < Mike_H> no!
2008-02-06 01:32 < SJFriedl> sorry to be the one that tells you
2008-02-06 01:32 < Mike_H> I have to write up another ditty on Fashion Week tonight
2008-02-06 01:32 < Mike_H> and then tomorrow at 2
2008-02-06 01:32 < Mike_H> I'm interviewing CariDee
2008-02-06 01:33 < SJFriedl> Who's CariDee ?
2008-02-06 01:33 < SJFriedl> or, to put another way
2008-02-06 01:33 < SJFriedl> what's google?
2008-02-06 01:33 < SJFriedl> :-)
2008-02-06 01:33 < Mike_H> CariDee English (born May 22, 1985[2] in Fargo, North Dakota) is an American fashion model. In December 2006 she won Cycle 7 of America's Next Top Model.
2008-02-06 01:33 < Mike_H> Her prize was a $100,000 contract with CoverGirl Cosmetics, a modeling contract with Elite Models, and a six-page fashion editorial and cover for Seventeen magazine. She is the second ANTM winner from North Dakota, the other being Nicole Linkletter of Cycle 5.[3]
2008-02-06 01:33 < SJFriedl> Hmmm, cute
2008-02-06 01:34 < Mike_H> http://www.buddytv.com/articles/americas_next_top_model/images/Caridee-11.jpg
2008-02-06 01:34 < Mike_H> That was CariDee's CoverGirl ad
2008-02-06 01:34 < Mike_H> (sans CoverGirl logo)
2008-02-06 01:34 < SJFriedl> that pic looks >22
2008-02-06 01:34 < SJFriedl> a pretty girl
2008-02-06 01:35 < Mike_H> SJFriedl: she has a masculine voice a bit.
2008-02-06 01:35 < SJFriedl> can't quite get that from her pic
2008-02-06 01:35 < SJFriedl> :-)
2008-02-06 01:35 < Mike_H> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PSASshpjzXI
2008-02-06 01:36 < StayTuned> kids these days - born in 1985 and they think they know everything...LOL
2008-02-06 01:36 < Mike_H> StayTuned: how old are you?
2008-02-06 01:36 < StayTuned> 34
2008-02-06 01:36 < StayTuned> 73
2008-02-06 01:36 < Mike_H> oh, my sister-in-law was born in '73
2008-02-06 01:37 < SJFriedl> is she hot?
2008-02-06 01:37 < StayTuned> cool
2008-02-06 01:37 < SJFriedl> oh
2008-02-06 01:37 < SJFriedl> wrong channel
2008-02-06 01:37 < StayTuned> Mike_H how's the weather?
2008-02-06 01:37 < Mike_H> hot.
2008-02-06 01:37 < Mike_H> It was 87 degrees today.
2008-02-06 01:37 < StayTuned> good to hear
2008-02-06 01:37 < StayTuned> its freezing rain outside
2008-02-06 01:38 < StayTuned> gotta love buffalo
2008-02-06 01:38 < Mike_H> It was too hot today
2008-02-06 01:38 < Mike_H> nearly 20 degrees above average
2008-02-06 01:39 < StayTuned> yowch - then maybe that isn't so good.
2008-02-06 01:39 < Mike_H> believe it or not, Florida is not 90 all year. :)
2008-02-06 01:39 < Luna-San> I saw some high school kid with an NES controller on his t-shirt, stars flying all over the "Keepin it real" slogan. Guy probably couldn't handle such an elegant device.
2008-02-06 01:39 < StayTuned> wow
2008-02-06 01:40 < Krimpet> StayTuned: hear, hear - ditto over here in rochester. -_-
2008-02-06 01:40 < Mike_H> like our temperature right now
2008-02-06 01:40 < Mike_H> at 1:40 a.m.
2008-02-06 01:40 < StayTuned> Yeah - that is an older controller
2008-02-06 01:40 < Mike_H> is our average high
2008-02-06 01:40 < Mike_H> for this time of year
2008-02-06 01:40 < StayTuned> nice to hear from Rock City
2008-02-06 01:40 < Mike_H> 69 degrees
2008-02-06 01:40 < StayTuned> Park Ave. still nice?
2008-02-06 01:41 < StayTuned> used to have a friend lived on Barrington
2008-02-06 01:41 < StayTuned> was just a walk to Park Ave.
2008-02-06 01:41 < Krimpet> eh, I wouldn't really know as an RIT student - all I see on a regular basis is Jefferson Ave. ;p
2008-02-06 01:41 < StayTuned> RIT - good choice
2008-02-06 01:42 < TwinsMetsFan> Jefferson Road :P
2008-02-06 01:42 < StayTuned> spend any time in the about linux channel?
2008-02-06 01:42 < TwinsMetsFan> (sorry, as a Rochesterarian i had to nitpick)
2008-02-06 01:42 < Mike_H> Krimpet: yay, our five day outlook says we're cooling down
2008-02-06 01:42 < Mike_H> :D
2008-02-06 01:42 < Mike_H> 83/76/77/75/70
2008-02-06 01:42 < Mike_H> finally, normal temperatures
2008-02-06 01:42 < StayTuned> woot - nice Mike
2008-02-06 01:43 < Krimpet> TwinsMetsFan: meh, the freezing rain must've clouded my memory :p
2008-02-06 01:43 < StayTuned> yeah - we've been getting more rain than snow
2008-02-06 01:43 < TwinsMetsFan> hehe
2008-02-06 01:43 < StayTuned> np - Black Street - No Diggity
2008-02-06 01:43 < TwinsMetsFan> i'll take rain over snow any day
2008-02-06 01:44 < Mike_H> StayTuned: we broke our record high today
2008-02-06 01:44 < TwinsMetsFan> except in November and December
2008-02-06 01:44 < Mike_H> the old record was in 1957
2008-02-06 01:44 < StayTuned> sounds like an article
2008-02-06 01:44 < StayTuned> Feb 5 - Extreme High Temp in Florida - Obama Wins IL GA DE

2008-02-06 01:59 < StayTuned> Luna-San, are you in Asia?
2008-02-06 01:59 < Luna-San> Nupe. California.
2008-02-06 01:59 < StayTuned> Cool

2008-02-06 02:00 < StayTuned> Because if you do....I'll have to visit...LOL
2008-02-06 02:00 < StayTuned> I need a car -
2008-02-06 02:01 < StayTuned> and an awesome friend in California
2008-02-06 02:01 < Luna-San> Heh. Well, *I* like the car, but some pole near where I park it had different ideas a few months ago.
2008-02-06 02:02 < StayTuned> Oh no
2008-02-06 02:02 < StayTuned> tell me at least you could file for ins.
2008-02-06 02:02 < Demi> it's a terrible burden when you have awesome friends but they don't live in california.
2008-02-06 02:03 < StayTuned> well I can use an awesome friend wherever you are too
2008-02-06 02:03 < Demi> i'm not awesome but i have a reasonably cool car
2008-02-06 02:03 < StayTuned> Oh hey now that's cool
2008-02-06 02:03 < StayTuned> I'm sure you're awesome
2008-02-06 02:04 < StayTuned> :)
2008-02-06 02:04 < StayTuned> Mike42 is one of my offline friends
2008-02-06 02:04 < StayTuned> non-IRC anyway
2008-02-06 02:05 < nokmar> you know him personally?
2008-02-06 02:05 < StayTuned> well enough to help him out :)
2008-02-06 02:05 < StayTuned> we have to work out the details on http://www.mike42.net this month
2008-02-06 02:06 < Ethaniel> Hi everyone.
2008-02-06 02:06 < StayTuned> hello Ethaniel
2008-02-06 02:07 < Ethaniel> Would you allow me to ask a short question?
2008-02-06 02:07 < StayTuned> :)
2008-02-06 02:07 * StayTuned makes green tea and watches
2008-02-06 02:07 < Ethaniel> Is Wikipedia online? I'm having problems trying to access the "en" version.
2008-02-06 02:08 < Ethaniel> That's "en.wikipedia.org"
2008-02-06 02:08 * StayTuned takes a look
2008-02-06 02:08 < The359> working for me
2008-02-06 02:08 < Demi> Ethaniel - it works for me; where are you located?
2008-02-06 02:08 < Ethaniel> Argentina
2008-02-06 02:08 < StayTuned> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page just came up
2008-02-06 02:09 < StayTuned> good morning Argentina btw
2008-02-06 02:09 * StayTuned loves Argentina for Evita
2008-02-06 02:09 < Ethaniel> thanks, it's about 5am down here.
2008-02-06 02:10 < Ethaniel> Well, I can't access Wikipedia. Guess my router or my ISP will have a date with my hammer...... :S
2008-02-06 02:10 < StayTuned> :) check and make sure you can access google
2008-02-06 02:11 < Ethaniel> Yeap, Google, Yahoo... both perfect.
2008-02-06 02:11 < StayTuned> if not you may have port 80 closed
2008-02-06 02:11 < StayTuned> hmmm....might just be temporary
2008-02-06 02:11 < StayTuned> have you looked into trying a proxy?
2008-02-06 02:11 < StayTuned> I don't know exactly how they work
2008-02-06 02:12 < Ethaniel> Accessing thru a proxy? I could try that........
2008-02-06 02:12 < StayTuned> you'll have to read up on it
2008-02-06 02:12 < Luna-San> I've heard of some people having luck with https://secure.wikimedia.org during temporary outages
2008-02-06 02:13 < StayTuned> now there's an idea
2008-02-06 02:13 < Demi> yeah, i checked that, i don't know what you're supposed to do with it
2008-02-06 02:13 < Luna-San> Stuff
2008-02-06 02:13 < Demi> and things
2008-02-06 02:14 < Luna-San> As long as it's consensual. :x
2008-02-06 02:14 < StayTuned> :)
2008-02-06 02:14 < bluefoxicy> GUys
2008-02-06 02:14 < bluefoxicy> is anyone here an expert in fluid dynamics
2008-02-06 02:15 < StayTuned> you mean like throwing a football through nitrogen?
2008-02-06 02:15 < bluefoxicy> no
2008-02-06 02:15 < bluefoxicy> I mean like how teh fuck does a penis work
2008-02-06 02:15 < bluefoxicy> have you ever looked at what comes out of the damn thing
2008-02-06 02:15 < bluefoxicy> you get like, a curve along a horizontal plane bounded by sin(x) and -(sin(x))
2008-02-06 02:16 < StayTuned> well - no I'm not an expert
2008-02-06 02:16 < bluefoxicy> and then at the first node, the plane rotates 90 degrees at the axis suddenly
2008-02-06 02:16 < bluefoxicy> like what the fuck
2008-02-06 02:16 < Mark_Ryan> "[Pippin] let Merry sink gently down on to the pavement in a patch of sunlight, and then he sat down beside him, laying Merry's head in his lap. He felt his body and limbs gently, and took his friend's hands in his own." -- not from a LOTR fanfic.
2008-02-06 02:16 < bluefoxicy> it's helix-like, but not really a helix
2008-02-06 02:16 < bluefoxicy> how the fuck does that even work
2008-02-06 02:16 < StayTuned> sounds like some complex 3D Calculus
2008-02-06 02:18 < StayTuned> Mark_Ryan?
2008-02-06 02:19 < bluefoxicy> Mark_Ryan knows nothing about penises
2008-02-06 02:19 < bluefoxicy> Mike_H might
2008-02-06 02:20 < Mike_H> Might?
2008-02-06 02:20 < The359> hah
2008-02-06 02:20 < The359> Now here's a publicity still!
2008-02-06 02:20 < The359> http://images.leftlanenews.com/content/february2008/dodge-challenger-84.jpg
2008-02-06 02:20 < bluefoxicy> XD
2008-02-06 02:20 < The359> Awesome
2008-02-06 02:20 < Demi> why are we bagging on Mark_Ryan's penis knowledge?
2008-02-06 02:20 < Mike_H> Demi: Hey, at least I "might" know about dick
2008-02-06 02:22 < Ethaniel> Okay, i used a proxy, and Wikipedia shows up. Must be something with my ISP. I'll do a modem power-cycle just in case.
2008-02-06 02:22 < Ethaniel> Thanks everyone, take care.
2008-02-06 02:23 < Demi> have...
2008-02-06 02:23 < Demi> a guinea pig or whatever it is you eat
2008-02-06 02:23 < bluefoxicy> wtf
2008-02-06 02:27 < Mark_Ryan> Demi, do you have access to the -en-admins channel?
2008-02-06 02:27 < Demi> no
2008-02-06 02:29 < bumm13> (hmm, it's raining)
2008-02-06 02:29 < Demi> bumm13 - oh man, thank you, i almost forgot to get the mail
2008-02-06 02:29 < bumm13> heh
2008-02-06 02:57 * Mike_H is bored
2008-02-06 03:04 * Pumpmeup is eating pringles to abate boredom
2008-02-06 03:11 < Mike_H> Pumpmeup: I should be writing a Fashion Week article
2008-02-06 03:11 < Mike_H> but I don't wanna :(
2008-02-06 03:17 < IceKarma> Mike_H, ahh... procrastinators will rule the world, someday...
2008-02-06 03:17 < Mike_H> IceKarma: oh, my home area is under a tornado warning :o
2008-02-06 03:17 < StayTuned> I just donated 10 bux to barack...
2008-02-06 03:17 < IceKarma> Mike_H, whee, in February?
2008-02-06 03:18 < Mike_H> yeah
2008-02-06 03:18 < Mike_H> In Louisiana, the parishes of Ascension, Assumption, East Baton Rouge, East Feliciana, Iberville, Jefferson, Lafource, Livingston, Orleans, Plaquemines, Pointe Coupee, St. Bernard, St. Charles, St. Helena, St. James, St. John the Baptist, St. Tammany, Tangipahoa, Terrebonne, Washington, West Baton Rouge, West Feliciana
2008-02-06 03:19 < Mike_H> In Mississippi, the counties of Amite, George, Greene, Hancock, Harrison, Jackson, Pearl River, Perry, Pike, Stone, Walthall, Wayne, Wilkinson
2008-02-06 03:19 < bumm13> Mike_H: you haven't clicked that link yet, have you....
2008-02-06 03:19 < Mike_H> In Alabama, the counties of Choctaw, Clarke, Mobile, Washington
2008-02-06 03:19 < Mike_H> all under a tornado warning
2008-02-06 03:20 < StayTuned> Obama won in more places than his New York rival, racking up victories in his home state of Illinois, as well as Alabama, Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Minnesota, North Dakota and Utah. <--- Washington Post
2008-02-06 03:20 < bumm13> StayTuned: moof
2008-02-06 03:21 < bumm13> many of those states aren't that relevant
2008-02-06 03:21 < Mike_H> So four counties in Alabama, 13 counties in Mississippi and 22 parishes in Louisiana are under the warning
2008-02-06 03:21 < Mike_H> it expires at 7 a.m..
2008-02-06 03:21 < StayTuned> all states are relavant
2008-02-06 03:21 < bumm13> not equally relevant
2008-02-06 03:22 < StayTuned> maybe not by electoral votes - but by people - all people in the US count
2008-02-06 03:22 * Mike_H tackles ALLSTARecho
2008-02-06 03:22 < ALLSTARecho> oof
2008-02-06 03:22 < bumm13> that's not a statistical rebuttal of what I just said
2008-02-06 03:22 < bumm13> in primaries, there are no electoral votes
2008-02-06 03:22 < StayTuned> I wasn't going for that.
2008-02-06 03:22 < bumm13> there are gained delegates
2008-02-06 03:22 < Mike_H> oh, sorry, it's a tornado watch
2008-02-06 03:23 < StayTuned> Correct
2008-02-06 03:23 < ALLSTARecho> the bad weather has moved on out of my area
2008-02-06 03:23 < Mike_H> so 39 counties/parishes are under the large tornado watch
2008-02-06 03:23 < Mike_H> ALLSTARecho: The areas in MS under the watch are to the south now
2008-02-06 03:23 < Mike_H> McComb, Hattiesburg, Biloxi
2008-02-06 03:23 < ALLSTARecho> of course CNN doesn't mention Mississippi
2008-02-06 03:23 < Mike_H> actually, no, I'm sorry
2008-02-06 03:23 < StayTuned> Mississipi? Alabama - ouch
2008-02-06 03:24 < ALLSTARecho> Ark, TN, KY
2008-02-06 03:24 < Mike_H> there's still another large watch for most of central Mississippi
2008-02-06 03:24 < ALLSTARecho> yeah, our tornado warnings ended about 30 minutes ago
2008-02-06 03:24 < ancjr> KY still under watch?
2008-02-06 03:24 * IceKarma now lives somewhere where tornadoes are scarce
2008-02-06 03:25 < ALLSTARecho> 23+ people dead along the path, 100+ injured
2008-02-06 03:25 < Mike_H> In Mississippi, the counties of Adams, Alcorn, Attala, Benton, Calhoun, Carroll, Chickasaw, Choctaw, Claiborne, Clarke, Clay, Copiah, Covington, Forrest, Franklin, Grenada, Hinda, Holmes, Itawamba, Jasper, Jefferson, Jefferson Davis, Jones, Kemper, Lafayette, Lamar, Lauderdale,
2008-02-06 03:25 < IceKarma> but when I lived in Virginia, tornado watches and warnings were commonplace in summer
2008-02-06 03:25 < Demi> tornadoes are illegal here
2008-02-06 03:26 * ALLSTARecho is in Hinda county lol
2008-02-06 03:26 < ALLSTARecho> Hinds
2008-02-06 03:26 < IceKarma> didn't actually have a single confirmed tornado touchdown in my county in the two years I lived there, though
2008-02-06 03:26 < IceKarma> everywhere around did, though
2008-02-06 03:26 < ALLSTARecho> while most people are having winter, we'
2008-02-06 03:26 < ALLSTARecho> we're 80 degrees and tornados
2008-02-06 03:26 < Mike_H> Lawrence, Leake, Lee, Lincoln, Lowndes, Madison, Marion, Monroe, Montgomery, Neshoba, Newton, Noxubee, Oktibbeha, Pontotoc, Prentiss, Rankin, Scott, Simpson, Smith, Tippah, Tishomingo, Union, Warren, Webster, Winston, Yalobusha, Yazoo
2008-02-06 03:26 < Mike_H> the NHC says that all-encompassing watch does not expire until 5 a.m. CST
2008-02-06 03:27 < ALLSTARecho> right, thats the watch
2008-02-06 03:27 < IceKarma> ALLSTARecho, eh, given how infrequently we get real winter weather here, all is not sunshine and rainbows
2008-02-06 03:27 < ALLSTARecho> the warning we had ended 30 mins ago
2008-02-06 03:27 * IceKarma is very unhappy with our winter weather this year.
2008-02-06 03:27 < ALLSTARecho> [[global warming]]
2008-02-06 03:27 < ALLSTARecho> that false science bush loves
2008-02-06 03:27 < IceKarma> I didn't mind the unusual number of thunderstorms we had last summer, though
2008-02-06 03:28 < Mike_H> So in that one watch alone
2008-02-06 03:28 < Mike_H> 54 of Mississippi's counties are under it
2008-02-06 03:28 < Mike_H> (Mississippi has 82)
2008-02-06 03:28 < Mike_H> and another 13 are under a lower watch.
2008-02-06 03:28 < ALLSTARecho> yeah, it's been pretty shiditty here in MS since about 5:00 PM
2008-02-06 03:28 < Demi> a tornado warning means you should pay attention to if there's a tornado, and if there is, take cover. a tornado watch means, hey, there's something cool to see.
2008-02-06 03:28 < Mike_H> http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/watch/validww.png
2008-02-06 03:29 < Mike_H> Red indicates all of the tornado watches.
2008-02-06 03:29 < IceKarma> Demi, how's your weather been?
2008-02-06 03:29 < Mike_H> Blue indicates a severe thunderstorm warning.
2008-02-06 03:29 < ALLSTARecho> Most of Mississippi's tornado damage came from North Mississippi.. the 2 that hit Memphis started in MS
2008-02-06 03:29 < ALLSTARecho> but around the state, straighline winds have cause damage
2008-02-06 03:29 < ALLSTARecho> straightline*
2008-02-06 03:29 < Demi> IceKarma - cold and rainy, it snowed a lot (for us: about 12") about a week ago
2008-02-06 03:30 < Mike_H> ALLSTARecho: The strong line of storms should be making it through to my family's house around eight this morning
2008-02-06 03:30 < ancjr> Mike_H: thanks
2008-02-06 03:30 * ALLSTARecho forgets what snow looks like
2008-02-06 03:30 < ALLSTARecho> yeah, bama is next?
2008-02-06 03:30 < Demi> ALLSTARecho - like them thar instint taters
2008-02-06 03:30 < Mike_H> ALLSTARecho: Yes
2008-02-06 03:30 < IceKarma> Demi, we've had a couple dumpings in the last week or so, with melting and refreezing
2008-02-06 03:30 < Mike_H> currently there's a warning for some of southwestern Alabama
2008-02-06 03:30 < Mike_H> but not where my family lives
2008-02-06 03:31 < Mike_H> watch, sorry
2008-02-06 03:31 < ALLSTARecho> We got a blizzard about 2 weeks ago but none of it stuck because it was 35 degrees
2008-02-06 03:31 < ALLSTARecho> that was the first snow we've seen in 8 years
2008-02-06 03:31 < IceKarma> Demi, we might actually stay above freezing long enough in the next few days to get rid of it finally
2008-02-06 03:31 < IceKarma> Demi, but it keeps coming back >.<
2008-02-06 03:31 < ALLSTARecho> North Mississippi usually sees the annual snow, but not us below the delta
2008-02-06 03:31 < Mike_H> the doppler shows a very strong cell traveling across the Gulf Coast right now
2008-02-06 03:32 < Demi> yes, we still have patchy snow left on the ground
2008-02-06 03:32 < Mike_H> currently in Hancock County
2008-02-06 03:32 < ALLSTARecho> hehe he said hancock
2008-02-06 03:32 < IceKarma> Demi, we still have cover >.<
2008-02-06 03:33 < Mike_H> ALLSTARecho: Girlfriend, you don't even want to know what you can do with your Hancock.
2008-02-06 03:33 < ALLSTARecho> so who's winning? Brack? Hillary?
2008-02-06 03:33 < ALLSTARecho> i fell asleep and slept through most of the storms so i lost track
2008-02-06 03:34 < IceKarma> Demi, I had a crazy idea, though
2008-02-06 03:34 < IceKarma> Demi, maybe the solution to my winter-hating is to move somewhere that actually has a real winter
2008-02-06 03:34 < ALLSTARecho> and why weren't we in the voting today.. our primary isn't until March 11
2008-02-06 03:34 < IceKarma> Demi, none of this farting about with this crap here
2008-02-06 03:35 < Demi> IceKarma - There's a McDonald's in Pieta, Sweden that you can only get to by snowmobile
2008-02-06 03:36 < Demi> i like our winter and its casual approach to snowfall
2008-02-06 03:37 < IceKarma> Demi, it isn't even really the snow I mind, it's the snowfall/melt/freeze/melt/freeze/melt/... cycle that bugs me here
2008-02-06 03:38 < tawker> IceKarma: you're in BC!
2008-02-06 03:38 < tawker> IceKarma: we don't get snow here
2008-02-06 03:38 * IceKarma drags tawker outside and stuffs him into a snowbank.
2008-02-06 03:38 < bumm13> Demi: I can't imagine taking the effort of driving a snowmobile just to go to a McDonald's :P
2008-02-06 03:38 < tawker> IceKarma: what snowbank
2008-02-06 03:38 < tawker> i've got next to zip here
2008-02-06 03:38 < bumm13> (Taco Bell, perhaps, but not McD's)
2008-02-06 03:39 < tawker> unless I go up the mountain
2008-02-06 03:39 < Demi> well there's no explaining the swedish
2008-02-06 03:39 < tawker> then i've got plenty
2008-02-06 03:39 < tawker> Demi: yes, it's Henrik and Daniel
2008-02-06 03:39 < IceKarma> tawker, we have entirely too much here
2008-02-06 03:39 < Demi> actually there is, and that is that swedish food is terrible
2008-02-06 03:39 < tawker> they are 22 and 33....
2008-02-06 03:39 < tawker> they score lots of goals
2008-02-06 03:39 < tawker> except not tonight for some strange reason
2008-02-06 03:40 * IceKarma muffles her puck-bunny streak.
2008-02-06 03:41 * slashem is afraid to ask what a puck-bunny is
2008-02-06 03:41 < Demi> okay, must away, happy dreams all (although those of you who are driving, please do not fall asleep--you have enough on your hands driving and chatting on IRC)
2008-02-06 03:42 * tawker laughs at IceKarma
2008-02-06 03:42 < ALLSTARecho> people drive and chat on IRC?
2008-02-06 03:42 < tawker> but thats what you get for having "Ice" in your name :D
2008-02-06 03:42 * tawker ducks
2008-02-06 03:42 < tawker> ALLSTARecho: of course
2008-02-06 03:42 * Pumpmeup says /me
2008-02-06 03:42 < tawker> its all the rage
2008-02-06 03:42 < tawker> esp w/ data charges being a ripoff
2008-02-06 03:42 < IceKarma> tawker, actually, it came out of an anagram generator
2008-02-06 03:42 < ALLSTARecho> nowonder they are banning car/cell phone use
2008-02-06 03:43 < tawker> hm
2008-02-06 03:43 < tawker> anyways
2008-02-06 03:43 * ALLSTARecho voted for 2girls1cup to be president
2008-02-06 03:44 < nokmar> who would do that stuff anyways?
2008-02-06 03:44 < bumm13> ALLSTARecho: I read this "strange news" article about a gal in her SUV who got into a bad accident
2008-02-06 03:44 < IceKarma> nokmar, stupid people
2008-02-06 03:44 < ALLSTARecho> strange?
2008-02-06 03:44 < bumm13> away from the vehicle wreckage, her severed hand was found still clutching a cell phone :X
2008-02-06 03:45 < IceKarma> bumm13, bwahahahaha
2008-02-06 03:45 < bumm13> it's not *that* funny :P
2008-02-06 03:45 < IceKarma> yes it is
2008-02-06 03:45 < ancjr> it's pretty damn funny
2008-02-06 03:45 < slashem> sick
2008-02-06 03:46 < IceKarma> a photo of that would make an excellently gruesome warning against being an idiot and using your cellphone while you're driving
2008-02-06 03:46 < bumm13> in the abstract sense, yes, it is
2008-02-06 03:46 < ancjr> i actually witnessed a lady in an upside-down ford explorer alongside the road, crying into her cell phone
2008-02-06 03:47 < ancjr> i can not imagine how she was able to get it to flip like that on a straight section of road
2008-02-06 03:47 < Luna-San> Maybe it was a dare.
2008-02-06 03:48 < ancjr> if it was, she is damn good
2008-02-06 03:48 < ALLSTARecho> i bet she didn't have accident forgiveness through Nationwide
2008-02-06 03:49 < ancjr> the tires appeared intact, clear weather, 2pm in the afternoon
2008-02-06 03:49 < ancjr> no skidmarks
2008-02-06 03:50 < ancjr> no debris
2008-02-06 03:50 < ancjr> it was surreal
2008-02-06 03:50 < ancjr> if i had a camera, i would have cerainly taken a picture
2008-02-06 03:53 < IceKarma> driving an SUV, not paying attention, drifting, realizing she's in the wrong place, jerks the wheel, fishtails and flips before she can hit the brakes
2008-02-06 03:54 < ancjr> i'd expect marks on the pavemnt from that
2008-02-06 03:54 < ancjr> but thats the best i can figure
2008-02-06 03:55 < bumm13> ALLSTARecho: lol!
2008-02-06 04:04 * Lady_Aleena zen hugs everyone to spread some love in the world.
2008-02-06 04:04 < lorck> why
2008-02-06 04:04 < Mike_H> :DD
2008-02-06 04:05 < lorck> poor Mike_H
2008-02-06 04:08 * ALLSTARecho is going back to bed now that the tornados are over and Barak Clinton has won everything. *yawn*
2008-02-06 04:11 < lorck> why
2008-02-06 04:12 < Mike_H> why not?
2008-02-06 04:12 < lorck> poor MikeH
2008-02-06 04:14 < Mike_H> you said that already.
2008-02-06 04:14 < lorck> do you admit you're poor?
2008-02-06 04:15 < Mike_H> probably, why?
2008-02-06 04:15 < lorck> because you're poor
2008-02-06 04:16 < Mike_H> you're a mindreader. love it.
2008-02-06 04:16 < ancjr> after a hard day clawing up the furniture and climbing the drapes, my cat enjoys a good massage
2008-02-06 04:16 * IceKarma watches the French (Canadian) news
2008-02-06 04:17 < IceKarma> ancjr, my cat, who's about 12 years old, suddenly decided a few months ago that she actually loves tummy-rubs after all
2008-02-06 04:17 < lorck> why
2008-02-06 04:17 < IceKarma> I have NFI
2008-02-06 04:17 < bumm13> heh
2008-02-06 04:17 < Mike_H> IceKarma: is it because your cat is poor?
2008-02-06 04:17 < IceKarma> it used to be that if you tried, you'd soon meet all 18 claws and most of her teeth
2008-02-06 04:17 < ancjr> this is the first cat i've had that wants its tail petted & combed
2008-02-06 04:17 * brown_cat_nap jumps onto IceKarma's lap
2008-02-06 04:18 < IceKarma> now, she'll roll onto her back and purr and knead at the air
2008-02-06 04:18 < IceKarma> ... most of the time
2008-02-06 04:18 < ancjr> ime, a cat will attack anything that touches the tail
2008-02-06 04:18 < IceKarma> sometimes it seems she's not in the mood, and will still go all claws&teethy
2008-02-06 04:19 < ancjr> yeah, the only thing my cat will attack is the brush
2008-02-06 04:19 < IceKarma> ancjr, you can acclimatise them to it when they're kittens, same as most other stuff
2008-02-06 04:19 < lorck> why
2008-02-06 04:19 < ancjr> she'lll let you brush her all day long, you just can't let her *see* the brush
2008-02-06 04:19 < Mike_H> DON'T MESS WITH MOMMY WHEN SHE'S ON HER PERIOD
2008-02-06 04:19 < IceKarma> I love my cat deeply, but she is the *last* longhair I will ever be on the staff of
2008-02-06 04:20 < bumm13> :\
2008-02-06 04:20 < IceKarma> on top of grey and white fur in her guard coat, she's black, white, and orange
2008-02-06 04:20 < ancjr> this is the least violent cat i have ever seen
2008-02-06 04:20 < ancjr> she doesn't let anything upset her
2008-02-06 04:20 < IceKarma> it doesn't matter what colour clothes you have, her fur -will- show up
2008-02-06 04:20 < Mike_H> bumm13: why
2008-02-06 04:21 < ancjr> lolz
2008-02-06 04:21 < IceKarma> was quite funny the day a certain former roommate moved in... he'd been in our house all of three hours, and then started finding her fur, in his boxes, as he was unpacking them
2008-02-06 04:22 < IceKarma> she's a fur factory, I swear
2008-02-06 04:22 < IceKarma> she sleeps so much, it must be all her body uses the food she eats for
2008-02-06 04:22 < ancjr> this weather has my cat shedding a lot as well
2008-02-06 04:22 < ancjr> but at least she's not a longhair
2008-02-06 04:22 < IceKarma> my cat -always- sheds
2008-02-06 04:23 < IceKarma> I can brush her for an hour, and then run my hand down her back, and more loose fur will come away
2008-02-06 04:23 < IceKarma> she should be -bald-
2008-02-06 04:23 < ancjr> mine is 90% black, white chest & mittens
2008-02-06 04:23 < IceKarma> awwww =)
2008-02-06 04:23 < ancjr> yeah she's cute as could be
2008-02-06 04:23 < IceKarma> what about the face?
2008-02-06 04:23 < ancjr> full grown, but petite
2008-02-06 04:23 < ancjr> solid black
2008-02-06 04:24 < White_Cat> RACIST!
2008-02-06 04:24 < ancjr> save for just the tiniest bit of white just below her lower lip - like a mini goatee

2008-02-06 04:44 < Zach> uh, deet is poisonous i think?
2008-02-06 04:46 < IceKarma> holy shit. my home province is lifting its 24-year ban on non-refillable beverage containers, including cans
2008-02-06 04:47 < bumm13> interesting
2008-02-06 04:47 < bumm13> doesn't Canada have a law forbidding "non-brown-colored" beverages from containing caffeine?
2008-02-06 04:47 < IceKarma> not for a couple years now
2008-02-06 04:48 < Zach> no caffeine in mountain dew? bleh
2008-02-06 04:51 < zocky> IceKarma, do they allow everything now, or just recyclables?
2008-02-06 04:51 < nokmar> why am I still awakkkkeee...
2008-02-06 04:51 < zocky> nokmar, go to sleep
2008-02-06 04:51 < bumm13> Zach: I know for a fact that Mountain Dew in Canada has no caffeine
2008-02-06 04:52 < Zach> that's craptastic
2008-02-06 04:52 < Zach> it must not be very popular?
2008-02-06 04:52 < IceKarma> zocky, as of 1 May, they will allow cans and plastic bottles
2008-02-06 04:52 < zocky> IceKarma, have you seen the can/bottle combo?
2008-02-06 04:53 < IceKarma> zocky, the what?
2008-02-06 04:53 < zocky> it's plastic and the bottom looks like a plastic bottle, but the top is like the top of a can
2008-02-06 04:53 < zocky> the top is aluminium
2008-02-06 04:53 < zocky> it's like if you sliced the top of a normal 1/5 litre plastic bottle and put an aluminum can top on it
2008-02-06 04:54 < zocky> *sliced off
2008-02-06 04:54 < zocky> ah, here it is:
2008-02-06 04:54 < zocky> http://www.strangenewproducts.com/uploaded_images/pet-aluminum-can-783226.jpg
2008-02-06 04:55 * IceKarma wonders how that works
2008-02-06 04:55 < bumm13> almost looks photoshopped or something
2008-02-06 04:55 < zocky> i've seen them in shops, so it's real
2008-02-06 04:56 < zocky> it's all plastic but the top
2008-02-06 04:56 < zocky> it's not such a bad idea, I guess - PET is better for the environment than aluminium
2008-02-06 04:56 < bumm13> huh, weird
2008-02-06 05:00 < Mike_H> bah
2008-02-06 05:00 < Mike_H> I should be asleep
