2008-03-23 00:23 < NotACow> w00t
2008-03-23 00:33 < notagerbil> NotACow, You a drover now?
2008-03-23 00:34 < NotACow> a drover?
2008-03-23 00:35 < notagerbil> on the theory that there is a "time in the barrel" justice in the world, cows will turn into drovers, by and by
2008-03-23 00:36 < NotACow> notagerbil: heh
2008-03-23 00:36 < notagerbil> not that I have any conclusive evidence on the barrel theory panning out.
2008-03-23 00:39 < notagerbil> its all good though, as far as I can say, I am playing with a load of winnings, but as they say, to whom is given, can be made demands of... Good offices are there to be made available.
2008-03-23 00:50 < SomeOtherGuy> CONGRATULATIONS APPLEBOY!!!
2008-03-23 00:52 < notagerbil> somebody, what did appelboy win?
2008-03-23 00:52 < notagerbil> lol
2008-03-23 00:52 < notagerbil> SomeOtherGuy,
2008-03-23 00:53 < notagerbil> hah, we have a somebody, and a SomeOtherGuy
2008-03-23 00:53 < SomeOtherGuy> lol
2008-03-23 00:53 < SomeOtherGuy> I remember
2008-03-23 00:54 < SomeOtherGuy> Not too long ago
2008-03-23 00:54 < SomeOtherGuy> When I came on this channel
2008-03-23 00:54 < SomeOtherGuy> And it was full of activity
2008-03-23 00:54 < SomeOtherGuy> Now I don't need to scroll up to view the introduction message
2008-03-23 00:54 < notagerbil> 222 nicks on the wall
2008-03-23 00:55 < notagerbil> I think I know how you feel
2008-03-23 00:56 < notagerbil> not that I believe that is possible between two people in separate bodies, but in general terms we are made of the similar fabric of molecules and even the differences lead to the same basic human things...
2008-03-23 00:57 * notagerbil is overly pholosophic, due to being seriously hungover
2008-03-23 00:58 < notagerbil> And if Raul watched me masturbate last night, he certainly earned his money.
2008-03-23 01:01 < notagerbil> wow, there is a total lack of lag here
2008-03-23 01:03 < Cyrius> hard to tell when nobody's talking =)
2008-03-23 01:06 < AppleBoy> hi ho!
2008-03-23 01:06 < Charitwo> ohai
2008-03-23 01:08 < AppleBoy> note to self: get pissed when attempting to use torrets for 130GB of files and having to wait 30 mins every day for it to "check" existing data
2008-03-23 01:08 < AppleBoy> torrents*
2008-03-23 01:09 < AppleBoy> easiest way to do distributed load crap at work, most annoying to deal with big files when transmission decides it needs to check existing data
2008-03-23 01:14 < AppleBoy> really cool setup actually
2008-03-23 01:14 < AppleBoy> working on a video project, HD raw video clicks, with several people
2008-03-23 01:15 < AppleBoy> use torrents to keep the video synced, broke it up into 6 different sections
2008-03-23 01:16 < AppleBoy> too much to use on one server, but only slight changes to each section, distributing the share load between 20 people, some of who live together, makes it a lot easier :)
2008-03-23 01:17 < notagerbil> I just read the stupidest talk page comment ever on [[User talk:Oldak Quill]]
2008-03-23 01:17 < Werdna> oh?
2008-03-23 01:17 < notagerbil> "I Created the article on Marg Osburne and I will use "Passed Away" instead of "Died" if I want to. Please do not vandalize my article again. Garr1984 (talk) 03:00, 19 February 2008 (UTC)"
2008-03-23 01:18 < notagerbil> you can't beat the on the stupid scale
2008-03-23 01:18 < Werdna> I think you can
2008-03-23 01:19 < notagerbil> how would I do that, by turning into wik, and trying to DOS wikipedia from some secret army base in antarctica...
2008-03-23 01:20 < notagerbil> I am sure there have been talk page comments that have been more vacuous, but stupid is something other than lack of sense.
2008-03-23 01:21 < notagerbil> stupid is an act of will.
2008-03-23 01:21 * Cyrius does not have the willpower to be as stupid as some of our more impressive contributors
2008-03-23 01:22 * notagerbil testifies.
2008-03-23 01:24 < notagerbil> Cyrius: do I recall you were of the science fictionally literate species?
2008-03-23 01:24 < Cyrius> I'm not terribly well read in that area
2008-03-23 01:25 < NedScott> !admin
2008-03-23 01:25 < Cyrius> but better than in most others
2008-03-23 01:25 < SQLDb> NedScott: how can I help you?
2008-03-23 01:25 < notagerbil> hmm.
2008-03-23 01:25 < NedScott> I need an unblock
2008-03-23 01:25 < SQLDb> NedScott: oh?
2008-03-23 01:25 < Krimpet> nah, you need a clue ;)
2008-03-23 01:25 < SQLDb> NedScott: what's up?
2008-03-23 01:25 < NedScott> what the hell
2008-03-23 01:25 < Cyrius> notagerbil: was there some reason for the recollection?
2008-03-23 01:25 < NedScott> krimnpet
2008-03-23 01:25 < NedScott> really
2008-03-23 01:25 < Cyrius> Krimpet: heh, you block him?
2008-03-23 01:25 < NedScott> I undersand if you feel it was forupping
2008-03-23 01:25 < NedScott> skdjfls
2008-03-23 01:26 < NedScott> fourm shopping
2008-03-23 01:26 < SQLDb> skdjfls, eh?
2008-03-23 01:26 < NedScott> but it wasn't, nor was it disruptive
2008-03-23 01:26 < SQLDb> well, lkjdfs to you! :P
2008-03-23 01:27 < NedScott> leaving a notice on ANI, BLP notice board, and the village pump is not forum shopping
2008-03-23 01:27 * Cyrius goes back to reading
2008-03-23 01:27 < cparham_> i strongly suggest you wait out the block and open a DRV when it expires
2008-03-23 01:27 < NedScott> I won't revert you again on the village pump, but this is absurd
2008-03-23 01:27 < Krimpet> spamming the same thread over several noticeboards _and re-adding them when you're reverted_ is disruption. you've been warned.
2008-03-23 01:27 < cparham_> this is not a fight worth having
2008-03-23 01:27 < notagerbil> Cyrius, I am kind of trying to reach back into the void from where I entered the conversation... if you catch my drift... I think one seminal moment was the Usenet newsgroup alt.fan.heinlein. If somebody really wanted to get a grip on what I stand for, my underwear is pretty much swinging in the wind there.
2008-03-23 01:27 < Werdna> also, anybody want to test werdnabot?
2008-03-23 01:27 < cparham_> however, if you promise to cease this i believe you should be unblocked
2008-03-23 01:28 < NedScott> I left appropriate notices on three notice boards
2008-03-23 01:28 < SQLDb> NedScott: seriously, the best way to get an impartial block review, is by either use of the {{unblock}} template, or, contacting unblock-en
2008-03-23 01:28 < Cyrius> notagerbil: I honestly have no idea what you're talking about
2008-03-23 01:28 < SQLDb> at least, in my experience
2008-03-23 01:28 < Krimpet> ...and re-added after being reverted.
2008-03-23 01:28 < Krimpet> despite a warning.
2008-03-23 01:29 < NedScott> once
2008-03-23 01:29 < NedScott> your warning
2008-03-23 01:29 < notagerbil> Cyrius: yes, that is part of the problem, I am getting too abstract.
2008-03-23 01:29 < NedScott> which didn't apply
2008-03-23 01:29 < NedScott> because I didn't do anything wrong
2008-03-23 01:29 < SQLDb> Werdna: do you have a .... less visible... template?
2008-03-23 01:29 < NedScott> it wasn't unrelated
2008-03-23 01:30 < notagerbil> Cyrius, I wish to return to innocence, and humble works, but I fear I may have taken the kool-aid, even though I thought I had just sipped on something innocous.
2008-03-23 01:30 < Werdna> SQLDb: add |showheader=no to the template call
2008-03-23 01:30 < Cyrius> which kool-aid?
2008-03-23 01:31 < notagerbil> Cyrius: the one I was offered.
2008-03-23 01:31 < SQLDb> Werdna: thanks! I'll look at adding that in a min, looking something over right now
2008-03-23 01:31 < notagerbil> I made no choice.
2008-03-23 01:31 < Cyrius> who by?
2008-03-23 01:31 < SQLDb> my talkpage is rather inactive tho, so, not much dramas to archive atm...
2008-03-23 01:32 < notagerbil> Cyrius: by the void in my mums stomach.
2008-03-23 01:34 < AppleBoy> oo, looks like I came back from taking a dump at just the right time
2008-03-23 01:34 < Cyrius> so we're dealing with existential angst here?
2008-03-23 01:34 < AppleBoy> walked into something where my expertise could be used
2008-03-23 01:34 < notagerbil> Cyrius, yes, and a bad case of hangover.
2008-03-23 01:34 < AppleBoy> lol
2008-03-23 01:34 < AppleBoy> who has the hangover?
2008-03-23 01:34 < Cyrius> him
2008-03-23 01:35 < notagerbil> unfortunately the wrong person
2008-03-23 01:35 < AppleBoy> lmfao, just read up
2008-03-23 01:35 < AppleBoy> pretty funnt
2008-03-23 01:35 < AppleBoy> funny*
2008-03-23 01:35 < AppleBoy> NedScott: you're an iiot
2008-03-23 01:35 < AppleBoy> idiot
2008-03-23 01:35 < AppleBoy> I can't spell today :(
2008-03-23 01:36 < Cyrius> looks like you've got an ID-10-T error there
2008-03-23 01:36 < NedScott> AppleBoy: excuse me?
2008-03-23 01:36 < notagerbil> I think iiot is much better spelling than idiot.
2008-03-23 01:36 < AppleBoy> I'm tempted to agree with you nota
2008-03-23 01:36 < AppleBoy> notagerbil:
2008-03-23 01:36 < AppleBoy> and x-chat tab complete fails :/
2008-03-23 01:36 < AppleBoy> this week has not been my week
2008-03-23 01:37 < AppleBoy> NedScott: admin warns you, you ignore warning thinking that it doesn't apply to you because in your book you didn't do anything wrong, admin bans you, then you bitch about it
2008-03-23 01:38 < AppleBoy> should've asked for a second opinion from another admin or some other route before straight up ignoring it
2008-03-23 01:38 < NedScott> I figured it was obvious
2008-03-23 01:39 < Rinn|Dead> The Burger King is getting a movie?
2008-03-23 01:39 < NedScott> I used a short, neutral message on only three notice boards
2008-03-23 01:39 < AppleBoy> oh, and don't try any "omg you guys are assholes I'm not editing wikipedia anymore" arguments because wikipedia is already full of colts of people that edit it the way they want anyway
2008-03-23 01:39 < NedScott> ha, no, I wouldn't do that
2008-03-23 01:39 < AppleBoy> which is why I stopped editing wikipedia
2008-03-23 01:39 < NedScott> you never tell people you are leaving
2008-03-23 01:39 < NedScott> when you do that only means you want more attention
2008-03-23 01:40 < NedScott> people who actually leave just leave
2008-03-23 01:40 < AppleBoy> first time I nominated myself, second time someone nominated me
2008-03-23 01:40 < AppleBoy> both times it didn't go through because I only had 500 edits or something, and I think minimum at that point was 2,000 or something?
2008-03-23 01:40 < Daniel-Away> RfA is the pit of hell on enwp
2008-03-23 01:41 < AppleBoy> enwp is hell anyway
2008-03-23 01:41 < AppleBoy> fails miserably at being npov now
2008-03-23 01:41 < Daniel-Away> fair point
2008-03-23 01:41 < Daniel-Away> i only write articles where it's impossible to be not NPOV :)
2008-03-23 01:41 * SQLDb agrees with Daniel-Away about RfA
2008-03-23 01:41 < MZMcBride> Wow. That's quite a few negatives there.
2008-03-23 01:41 < Daniel-Away> ssh :)
2008-03-23 01:42 * SQLDb ssh'es to 10.10.32.1
2008-03-23 01:42 < MZMcBride> Impossible to be not NPOV? /me stares.
2008-03-23 01:42 < Daniel-Away> it means one cannot have a POV
2008-03-23 01:42 < AppleBoy> it is possible
2008-03-23 01:42 < Daniel-Away> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1999_Sydney_hailstorm find a POV in that
2008-03-23 01:45 < denelson83> Anyone for Twenty Questions?
2008-03-23 01:45 < Daniel-Away> denelson83, whats that?
2008-03-23 01:45 < denelson83> ¬_¬;
2008-03-23 01:45 < AppleBoy> read that article, no POV in it
2008-03-23 01:45 < AppleBoy> awesome article right there
2008-03-23 01:46 < Daniel-Away> what, the hailstorm one? :)
2008-03-23 01:46 < AppleBoy> yeah
2008-03-23 01:46 < Daniel-Away> I tried to avoid making assumptions :D
2008-03-23 01:46 < denelson83> nevermind...
2008-03-23 01:47 < Daniel-Away> there was only one place that I could have inserted a POV... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:1999_Sydney_hailstorm/Archive1 #9
2008-03-23 01:50 < notagerbil> denelson83, what am I?
2008-03-23 01:50 < AppleBoy> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_%28group%29 article dying for edit wars
2008-03-23 01:51 < notagerbil> no questions?
2008-03-23 01:51 < denelson83> Twenty Questions: I'm thinking of an EVENT...
2008-03-23 01:51 < notagerbil> denelson83, I started
2008-03-23 01:51 < AppleBoy> was it in the last year?
2008-03-23 01:51 < notagerbil> I am thinking of a person
2008-03-23 01:51 < denelson83> We'll do mine first, followed by yours, notagerbil
2008-03-23 01:51 < denelson83> [19] NO
2008-03-23 01:52 < denelson83> Wait...
2008-03-23 01:52 < notagerbil> okay
2008-03-23 01:52 < denelson83> Actually YES
2008-03-23 01:52 < denelson83> It was in the last year
2008-03-23 01:52 < notagerbil> hmm
2008-03-23 01:52 < notagerbil> curious
2008-03-23 01:52 < AppleBoy> was it a political event? (politics, protesting, or anything else of that sort)
2008-03-23 01:52 < AppleBoy> err, include political wars like iraq in that
2008-03-23 01:52 < denelson83> [18] Ambiguous
2008-03-23 01:53 < AppleBoy> you can't answer ambiguous
2008-03-23 01:53 < denelson83> As in some would say yes, others would say no
2008-03-23 01:53 < notagerbil> denelson83, does it involve the United States?
2008-03-23 01:53 < denelson83> [17] YES
2008-03-23 01:53 < AppleBoy> and we're on 18, not 17
2008-03-23 01:53 < denelson83> Three questions
2008-03-23 01:54 < AppleBoy> it doesn't count if you say ambiguous
2008-03-23 01:54 < denelson83> AppleBoy, some say this is a political event while others disagree
2008-03-23 01:54 < AppleBoy> then it's not an answer and can't be considered part of the 20 questions
2008-03-23 01:54 < denelson83> gah...
2008-03-23 01:54 < denelson83> fine :|
2008-03-23 01:54 < denelson83> [18]
2008-03-23 01:54 < notagerbil> denelson83, Was the event Dick Cheney shooting his buddy in the face with buckshot?
2008-03-23 01:55 < AppleBoy> oh, and to clarify q20, by year I meant 2008, not 365 days, is that what you were thinking of?
2008-03-23 01:55 < denelson83> [17] NO
2008-03-23 01:55 < denelson83> [16] NO
2008-03-23 01:55 < denelson83> I was thinking of in the past 365 days
2008-03-23 01:55 < AppleBoy> oh that's not fair to say that that's another question
2008-03-23 01:55 < AppleBoy> we're at 17
2008-03-23 01:55 < denelson83> But you asked
2008-03-23 01:56 < denelson83> The point of twenty questions is to get more specific
2008-03-23 01:56 < notagerbil> okay, I can't figure it out, if it isn't Dick Cheneys lucky shot, I am out of the game...
2008-03-23 01:56 < AppleBoy> did it involve over 50 people?
2008-03-23 01:56 < denelson83> [15] YES
2008-03-23 01:56 < AppleBoy> was it a protest?
2008-03-23 01:56 < denelson83> [14] NO
2008-03-23 01:57 < AppleBoy> was it war related (IE: actual event of war, someone dying, gunfight, a bombing, or whatever)
2008-03-23 01:57 < denelson83> [13] NO
2008-03-23 01:57 < AppleBoy> was it an outdoor event?
2008-03-23 01:57 < denelson83> [12] YES
2008-03-23 01:58 < AppleBoy> did it happen in the US?
2008-03-23 01:58 < denelson83> [11] YES
2008-03-23 01:58 < AppleBoy> did it happen in california?
2008-03-23 01:58 < denelson83> [10] NO

2008-03-23 01:58 < denelson83> [ 9] NO
2008-03-23 01:58 < AppleBoy> nationwide thing?
2008-03-23 01:58 < denelson83> Don't know how to answer that; clarify
2008-03-23 01:59 < AppleBoy> skip that, did someone get injured or die?
2008-03-23 01:59 < denelson83> [ 8] NO
2008-03-23 02:00 < AppleBoy> by nationwide was it an event like how the anonymous protests are where they happened in multiple states at the same time
2008-03-23 02:00 < denelson83> [ 7] NO
2008-03-23 02:00 < NotACow> did it involve a cat?
2008-03-23 02:00 < AppleBoy> did it happen on just one day?
2008-03-23 02:00 * NotACow giggles
2008-03-23 02:00 < Cyrius> not going to make it =)
2008-03-23 02:00 < denelson83> One at a time!
2008-03-23 02:00 < AppleBoy> screw NotACow
2008-03-23 02:00 < AppleBoy> I'm t he one playing
2008-03-23 02:00 < NotACow> did it occur west of the mississippi?
2008-03-23 02:01 < AppleBoy> did it happen on just one day?
2008-03-23 02:01 < denelson83> [ 6] NO
2008-03-23 02:01 < denelson83> It was not held on just one day
2008-03-23 02:01 < AppleBoy> wikimania?
2008-03-23 02:01 < denelson83> [ 5] NO
2008-03-23 02:01 < Cyrius> that's not really outdoor
2008-03-23 02:01 < Leslie_S> sigh
2008-03-23 02:02 < AppleBoy> whoops >.<
2008-03-23 02:02 < AppleBoy> I forgot that he said outdor
2008-03-23 02:02 < AppleBoy> was about to ask if it was a conference too, thanks Cyrius :/
2008-03-23 02:02 < denelson83> Clues so far: Outdoor event, held in the US with more than 50 people attending
2008-03-23 02:03 < AppleBoy> and didn't happen in california or newyork, and happened in only one state
2008-03-23 02:03 < Cyrius> not a protest and nobody died
2008-03-23 02:04 < AppleBoy> denelson83: an organized event with some leader?
2008-03-23 02:04 < denelson83> [ 4] YES, it is coordinated
2008-03-23 02:04 < AppleBoy> an annual event or one time thing?
2008-03-23 02:04 < denelson83> not a yes-or-no question
2008-03-23 02:05 < AppleBoy> err, rephrased, is it an annual event?

2008-03-23 02:08 < Cyrius> you said nobody died
2008-03-23 02:08 < NotACow> Cyrius: not intentionally :)
2008-03-23 02:08 < AppleBoy> denelson83: and people have died
2008-03-23 02:08 < denelson83> I've never heard of any deaths at Burning Man
2008-03-23 02:08 < AppleBoy> they still died
2008-03-23 02:08 < notagerbil> What is burning man btw?

2008-03-23 02:08 < zocky> what's the class name for pretty tables?

2008-03-23 02:08 < denelson83> Okay notagerbil: You go
2008-03-23 02:08 < AppleBoy> NotACow: I would say a suicide is intentional
2008-03-23 02:08 < NotACow> GRID SQUARES ROCK
2008-03-23 02:08 < denelson83> You said you were thinking of a PERSON.
2008-03-23 02:08 < notagerbil> I've seen some picture of a sexy gal taken at burning man, but I have no idea what it is...
2008-03-23 02:08 < Cyrius> "A Burning Man participant was found dead this morning, hanging from the inside of a two-story high tent, according to Mark Pirtle, special agent in charge for the Bureau of Land Management.
2008-03-23 02:08 < Cyrius> The apparent suicide would be the festival's first in its 21 year history"
2008-03-23 02:09 < NotACow> JAMES EARL JONES
2008-03-23 02:09 < notagerbil> no

2008-03-23 02:09 < Cyrius> denelson83 fails =)
2008-03-23 02:09 < NotACow> that wasn't a question :)
2008-03-23 02:09 < AppleBoy> political figure?
2008-03-23 02:09 < bumm13> it's a bunch of hippies and whatnot and their wicker man effigy
2008-03-23 02:09 < NotACow> it was me being silly
2008-03-23 02:09 < denelson83> [23:51:45] <notagerbil> I am thinking of a person
2008-03-23 02:09 < AppleBoy> notagerbil: a political figure?
2008-03-23 02:09 < notagerbil> good guess though, I could easily have been thinking of James Earl Jones or Joe Don Baker.
2008-03-23 02:09 < Cyrius> denelson83: he's not playing =)
2008-03-23 02:09 < notagerbil> AppleBoy, no
2008-03-23 02:10 < Cyrius> or is he
2008-03-23 02:10 < notagerbil> 18
2008-03-23 02:10 < NotACow> half of hawaii is in BL
2008-03-23 02:10 < AppleBoy> notagerbil: living in the US?
2008-03-23 02:10 < NotACow> the rest is in BK
2008-03-23 02:10 * denelson83 is in CN
2008-03-23 02:10 < notagerbil> AppleBoy, yes 17
2008-03-23 02:10 < denelson83> CN79, to be more specific
2008-03-23 02:10 < NotACow> denelson83: a rather wet grid square
2008-03-23 02:10 < notagerbil> (as far as I know)
2008-03-23 02:11 < AppleBoy> is the person an actor/actress?
2008-03-23 02:11 < denelson83> CN79mq, to be even more specific
2008-03-23 02:11 < notagerbil> no 16
2008-03-23 02:11 < NotACow> denelson83: i didn't realize you was a canuck
2008-03-23 02:11 < bumm13> IRC 20 questions?
2008-03-23 02:11 < AppleBoy> male?
2008-03-23 02:11 < notagerbil> AppleBoy, yes
2008-03-23 02:11 < bumm13> (that wasn't a guess ;p )
2008-03-23 02:11 < denelson83> Duh, I'm Canadian

2008-03-23 02:11 < AppleBoy> hrmm, so male, lives in US, not a political figure or moviestar
2008-03-23 02:12 < notagerbil> there is one question I have answered so far that my answer may mislead the channel.
2008-03-23 02:12 < AppleBoy> oh, and not James Earl Jones
2008-03-23 02:12 < notagerbil> though in the absolute I have answered faithfully.
2008-03-23 02:12 < denelson83> Oh, Illinois
2008-03-23 02:12 < Cyrius> is he alive?
2008-03-23 02:13 < notagerbil> Cyrius, yes, very much so.
2008-03-23 02:13 < notagerbil> 14
2008-03-23 02:13 < AppleBoy> is he an old guy?
2008-03-23 02:13 < NotACow> denelson83: "goose spit"
2008-03-23 02:13 < NotACow> ?
2008-03-23 02:13 < notagerbil> yes 13
2008-03-23 02:13 < Cyrius> dang, was hoping it was that "living in the us" part that was misleading =)
2008-03-23 02:13 < AppleBoy> lol
2008-03-23 02:14 < denelson83> NotACow: !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2008-03-23 02:14 < denelson83> There's a Goose Spit near where I live
2008-03-23 02:14 < AppleBoy> notagerbil: a person that has been in the news?
2008-03-23 02:14 < NotACow> denelson83: yes, well, you gave your grid square, it's easy enough to find what's near you
2008-03-23 02:15 < NotACow> denelson83: there's a Goose Spit Indian Reserve in CN79np
2008-03-23 02:15 < denelson83> Oh, I thought you meant there's a Goose Spit near you
2008-03-23 02:15 < AppleBoy> news being a public newspaper like LA or NY times
2008-03-23 02:15 < AppleBoy> or TV
2008-03-23 02:15 < NotACow> denelson83: no, i just thought it was an odd name for a named land feature :)
2008-03-23 02:15 < denelson83> Well, that's what it's called
2008-03-23 02:15 < notagerbil> AppleBoy, not immediately that I can think of, though that migh be because I haven't been up to date on everything. I could imagine he might have been in the news in recent days without me knowing.
2008-03-23 02:15 < denelson83> There's also HMCS Quadra there
2008-03-23 02:16 < AppleBoy> well shit, I give up then, don't really care about people
2008-03-23 02:16 < AppleBoy> I'm going to sleep
2008-03-23 02:16 < notagerbil> 12
2008-03-23 02:17 < denelson83> Kwyshitibo?
2008-03-23 02:18 < notagerbil> why would a special agent of the bureau of land management be the one to talk to the press about somebody found dead in a tent?
2008-03-23 02:19 < notagerbil> Did I just say I have no lag? Can I rephrase that?
2008-03-23 02:19 < NotACow> notagerbil: he died on federal lands?
2008-03-23 02:19 < NotACow> notagerbil: the BLM is in charge of federal lands that are not specifically under the jurisdiction of the national park service or the national forestry service.
2008-03-23 02:19 < notagerbil> no IRC lag, but very delayed response inside brain.
2008-03-23 02:20 < notagerbil> so any more questions on the person I am thinking of?
2008-03-23 02:21 < notagerbil> (there is one question conspicuous in it's absence)
2008-03-23 02:21 < notagerbil> I won't hint at that question though, just to waste somebodys question...
2008-03-23 02:22 < notagerbil> because the answer would be "no"
2008-03-23 02:24 < bumm13> lots of U.S. Forest Service land not too far from my locale
2008-03-23 02:27 < notagerbil> no more questions?
2008-03-23 02:27 < notagerbil> bumm13, interesting note.
2008-03-23 02:28 < notagerbil> If there are no more questions coming my way, I will reveal the mystery person in a few minutes.
2008-03-23 02:29 < notagerbil> nobody want's to ask question number 11?
2008-03-23 02:30 < notagerbil> we could skip it and go directly to 10, if that makes it easier.
2008-03-23 02:31 * FastLizard4|away is now going to bed, good night!
2008-03-23 02:31 < notagerbil> I am going to tell...
2008-03-23 02:31 < notagerbil> ...or perhaps I won't.
2008-03-23 02:32 < Soms> Ask question 11.
2008-03-23 02:32 < Soms> Someone will answer it.
2008-03-23 02:32 < notagerbil> hmm?
2008-03-23 02:32 < notagerbil> what
2008-03-23 02:32 < Soms> Did you have a question?

2008-03-23 02:34 < notagerbil> *interrogoatse
2008-03-23 02:34 < Soms> That you are infact a gerbil.

2008-03-23 02:35 < JerseyDevil86> indeed, keep it that way....o__O

2008-03-23 02:36 < JerseyDevil86> I strongly suggest you stop not torturing me
2008-03-23 02:37 * Soms starts the car.
2008-03-23 02:37 < NotACow> ok, i should go sleep so the data i have absorbed today will percolate

2008-03-23 02:47 < gim_28> ....
2008-03-23 02:49 < denelson83> Weird... Tunatic identifies the Goo Goo Dolls song "Iris" as Evanescence's "Lithium" instead

2008-03-23 03:29 < Lycurgus> "Bill Gates for Dummies, Culture and Philosophy Series, by James B. South." is mentioned on the front page of the village voice but it appears to be a fabrication.
2008-03-23 03:29 < Lycurgus> Anybody heard of it?
2008-03-23 03:29 < Lycurgus> (the author does exist and seems to be tenured at Marquette University)

2008-03-23 03:38 < Lycurgus> right wing death squad vs. revolutionaries seems like an unusual video game
2008-03-23 03:38 < chrisgrant> its just a standard arcade shootem up

2008-03-23 04:30 < Luna-San> So apparently Starbucks is in trouble with the law in California.
2008-03-23 04:31 < SomeOtherGuy> Why?
2008-03-23 04:31 < Chetblong> Why?
2008-03-23 04:32 < SomeOtherGuy> He's been banned from editting wikipedia
2008-03-23 04:32 < SomeOtherGuy> Did Jimbo report him to the FBI?
2008-03-23 04:32 < Luna-San> Tips left in the tip jar are divided evenly among staff, including the shift supervisors (GASP!)
2008-03-23 04:33 < SomeOtherGuy> wtf
2008-03-23 04:33 < SomeOtherGuy> Are you on drugs?
2008-03-23 04:33 < Luna-San> As far as I knew, the shift supervisor just wore a black apron instead of green, or something.
2008-03-23 04:33 < Luna-San> But apparently apron color is a BIG DEAL and means they can't get tips, or so some crackpot judge thinks.
2008-03-23 04:34 < yao_ziyua1> define apron...
2008-03-23 04:34 < Chetblong> apron: an apron
2008-03-23 04:34 < Luna-San> Like a lab coat, only for cooks.
2008-03-23 04:34 < Chetblong> haha
2008-03-23 04:34 < Chris_G> all done
2008-03-23 04:35 < SomeOtherGuy> wtf
2008-03-23 04:35 < SomeOtherGuy> Did he get arrested
2008-03-23 04:35 < SomeOtherGuy> Because he didn't wear the right coloured apron
2008-03-23 04:35 * Chetblong is c0nfuzerd
2008-03-23 04:35 < SomeOtherGuy> And thus didn't divide the tips properly?
2008-03-23 04:35 < Chetblong> lol
2008-03-23 04:36 < SomeOtherGuy> Or did he steal them?
2008-03-23 04:36 < SomeOtherGuy> Did he steal from the tip jar?
2008-03-23 04:36 < Chetblong> :O
2008-03-23 04:36 < SomeOtherGuy> What kind of sad person does that
2008-03-23 04:36 < Chetblong> O_O
2008-03-23 04:36 < SomeOtherGuy> What kind of sad person reports that to the police?
2008-03-23 04:36 < SomeOtherGuy> He stole maybe $5
2008-03-23 04:36 < SomeOtherGuy> Just steal his wallet and take $10
2008-03-23 04:36 < Chetblong> hahaha

2008-03-23 05:00 < yao_ziyuan> forgive me not being able to recall the insignificant portions of this word
2008-03-23 05:00 < NotASoms> yao_ziyuan: While I appreciate your thoughts I am not sure I understand the purpose of them.
