2008-04-16 10:55 < Lycurgus> Bu Shi, Mei Guo Ren.
2008-04-16 10:56 < Lycurgus> your English is quite good so far. bbiab = be back in a bit.
2008-04-16 10:57 < nadis> leave a moment.
2008-04-16 10:57 < toresbe> nadis: where are you from, then?
2008-04-16 10:57 < toresbe> Oh, China! Interesting.
2008-04-16 10:57 < nadis> so you guy know Chinese well ?
2008-04-16 10:58 < toresbe> I've been trying to learn some basics. The Hanzi system is very beautiful.
2008-04-16 10:58 < toresbe> But it is very difficult to learn the tonal pronounciation right!
2008-04-16 10:59 < toresbe> I think if I should try to speak it, I'd come across very wrong.
2008-04-16 11:00 < toresbe> Your English is quite good - it's always good to practice such things.
2008-04-16 11:01 < nadis> i'm back
2008-04-16 11:01 < nadis> yeah, i am from China
2008-04-16 11:02 < nadis> mother tongue should be easy for everybody, i think
2008-04-16 11:02 < toresbe> My mother tongue is Norwegian.
2008-04-16 11:02 < nadis> toresbe: do you have a skype account ?
2008-04-16 11:03 < toresbe> nadis: yes, but my sound card is broken. :\
2008-04-16 11:03 < nadis> i mean if you'd like to speak Chinese someway
2008-04-16 11:04 < nadis> that's a pity
2008-04-16 11:04 < toresbe> I remember "wǒ de qìdiànchuán zhuāngmǎn le shànyú"
2008-04-16 11:04 < nadis> fill with some kind so fishes ?

2008-04-16 11:05 < toresbe> hehe, it's a reference to a Monty Python sketch - "My hovercraft is full of eels".
2008-04-16 11:05 < nadis> hehe, intresting
2008-04-16 11:06 < nadis> your pinyin is better than many native speaker
2008-04-16 11:06 < nadis> *speakers
2008-04-16 11:08 < toresbe> Well, native speakers know Hanzi. :)
2008-04-16 11:08 < toresbe> Anyway, welcome to #wikipedia. Feel free to hang around, and I hope you get more comfortable with your English.
2008-04-16 11:09 < nadis> i think i'll be here as long as i have time
2008-04-16 11:09 < nadis> nice to meet you, finally
2008-04-16 11:09 * Werdna tickles Pilotguy
2008-04-16 11:09 < Pilotguy> O_O
2008-04-16 11:09 * Pilotguy pokes ThatGuyThatShow
2008-04-16 11:10 < nadis> and it's late here; i'm going to sleep now. good bye, toresbe

2008-04-16 11:10 * Werdna takes ThatGuy right away FromThatShow

2008-04-16 11:11 < Pilotguy> ThatGuyThatShow: We miss you over at the CVN
2008-04-16 11:11 < ThatGuyThatShow> i had to leave, nerve problems in hand :/
2008-04-16 11:12 < ThatGuyThatShow> edited too much heh
2008-04-16 11:12 < Pilotguy> ah
2008-04-16 11:12 < Pilotguy> that sucks
2008-04-16 11:13 < ThatGuyThatShow> yeah
2008-04-16 11:17 < Werdna> ThatGuyThatShow: we wuv you
2008-04-16 11:17 < Werdna> don't go back to ThatShow
2008-04-16 11:17 < Werdna> please
2008-04-16 11:26 < Werdna> why was the teacher cross-eyed?
2008-04-16 11:28 < Working_Cat> whos the cat?
2008-04-16 11:29 < quanticle> God damn it. Spielberg picked up the rights to Ghost in the Shell and is going to make a 3-d live-action version of the anime.
2008-04-16 11:29 < quanticle> This is an idea that will fail on so many levels.
2008-04-16 11:30 < Working_Cat> no speilberg.... please no. dont ruin your record.
2008-04-16 11:30 < Working_Cat> is it just me, or is he really losing it with age?
2008-04-16 11:32 < quanticle> Yeah. He is. Transformers, in my opinion, is where Spielberg's record jumped the shark.
2008-04-16 11:32 < Fabexplosive> hello
2008-04-16 11:35 < Working_Cat> yeah, but he didnt direct it himself
2008-04-16 11:36 < Working_Cat> it was the Mr Special Effects Guy, iirc
2008-04-16 11:45 < ggreer> quanticle: spielberg made transformers? I thought that was a michael bay movie
2008-04-16 11:45 < ggreer> oh, he was the executive producer, not the director
2008-04-16 11:53 < Working_Cat> alice?
2008-04-16 11:53 < Working_Cat> who the fuck is alice?
2008-04-16 11:55 < quanticle> ggreer: Spielberg didn't direct Transformers. He just did the special effects for it.
2008-04-16 11:55 < quanticle> But he still associated himself with the movie, so I'll still hold it against him.
2008-04-16 11:57 < Working_Cat> be nice to the old guy, non-conformist schrodinger_cat
2008-04-16 12:07 < TheWeasel> Uncyc has featured our friend the otter!
2008-04-16 12:08 < Working_Cat> the other otter
2008-04-16 12:09 < TheWeasel> the other otter udder
2008-04-16 12:09 < Working_Cat> i'd check it out if it wasnt blocked
2008-04-16 12:16 < [Mr]Positiff> hello all
2008-04-16 12:19 < IceKarma> yay, my first attempt at using ParserFunctions has failed miserably. >.<
2008-04-16 12:31 < Leslie_S> I HAVE THE JOB
2008-04-16 12:31 < Leslie_S> :D :D :D
2008-04-16 12:32 < Working_Cat> Leslie_S: good. now learn to hate it.
2008-04-16 12:32 < Working_Cat> IceKarma: parserFunctions in?
2008-04-16 12:32 < Leslie_S> Working_Cat heh. i have almost 3 weeks before i even go
2008-04-16 12:33 < Working_Cat> good! you can have a headstart
2008-04-16 12:33 < IceKarma> Working_Cat, a template on another wiki
2008-04-16 12:33 < IceKarma> Working_Cat, but the problem is, ParserFunctions isn't installed/enabled. ;))
2008-04-16 12:34 < Leslie_S> lol
2008-04-16 12:34 < Leslie_S> the only problem is the 3 weeks unpaid training
2008-04-16 12:34 < Leslie_S> i gotta pay rent in there ;/
2008-04-16 12:34 < Working_Cat> ouch
2008-04-16 12:34 < Leslie_S> I have some dipshits that are trying to tell me just not to pay it

2008-04-16 13:03 < Working_Cat> whaddya think of this reiser guy
2008-04-16 13:09 < AzaTht> what's the tag to flag an image for using a count as measurement
2008-04-16 13:13 < bluefoxicy> fuck.
2008-04-16 13:13 < bluefoxicy> Too much fiber, not enough liquid.
2008-04-16 13:13 * bluefoxicy constipated ~_~
2008-04-16 13:13 < The359> ...
2008-04-16 13:14 < JohnReaves> TMI!!!!111!!!1!
2008-04-16 13:18 < Working_Cat> JohnReaves: i thought it was TMF
2008-04-16 13:21 < Cream> bluefoxicy, try laxatives
2008-04-16 13:21 < Cream> lots of love and laxatives
2008-04-16 13:27 < Lubaf> Hit me with your Plinko stick! Hit me! Hit me!
2008-04-16 13:27 < Cyrius> the price is right must've changed a lot since bob barker retired
2008-04-16 13:28 < Lubaf> The Physicist's Prayer: "Lord, grant that my work increase knowledge and help other men. / "Failing that, Lord, grant that it will not lead to man’s destruction. / "Failing that, Lord, grant that my article in Brain be published before the destruction takes place."
2008-04-16 13:28 < Lubaf> Cyrius: Oddly, not as much as you'd think.
2008-04-16 13:28 < TheWeasel> I'm TheWeasel, and I approve this massage.
2008-04-16 13:29 < Lubaf> Carrey took a lot of lessons from Barker.
2008-04-16 13:29 < tg_> at am.wiktionary we had a custome template for "nogomatch" and it is still there except that when there is no page, comes up the default wikimedia template. Has any thing changed?
2008-04-16 13:29 * TheWeasel watches Hillary's "Bitter" ad and finds it fairly weak
2008-04-16 13:30 < Working_Cat> bitter?
2008-04-16 13:30 < Lubaf> And, while he is more of a comedian, he's still genial enough to fit in perfectly.
2008-04-16 13:30 < Lubaf> Working_Cat: Madness.
2008-04-16 13:30 < Working_Cat> Lubaf: what?
2008-04-16 13:30 < Lubaf> It's better not to know about it, since it's completely insane.
2008-04-16 13:31 < Working_Cat> she had another one after the 3 am one?
2008-04-16 13:31 < TheWeasel> Obama said "people cling to guns and God out of frustration"
2008-04-16 13:31 < TheWeasel> (paraphrased in an unfriendly way)
2008-04-16 13:31 < Lubaf> Cyrius: That "Hit me with your Plinko stick" is a line of his. (There actually is a Plinko stick.)
2008-04-16 13:31 < Lubaf> TheWeasel: And I find it utterly utterly stupid.
2008-04-16 13:31 < Cyrius> is it? I've never heard it said
2008-04-16 13:32 < TheWeasel> Yea, but the Hillary ad is unconvincing.
2008-04-16 13:32 < Cyrius> there was a clip of fox news
2008-04-16 13:32 < TheWeasel> I mean, that is a nice pass
2008-04-16 13:32 < Lubaf> Cyrius: It was a one time thing.
2008-04-16 13:32 < Cyrius> they went and found an old, white, mccain supporting veteran in pennsylvania
2008-04-16 13:32 < IceKarma> gah, what's the format for the Expires: field in the page protection page?
2008-04-16 13:32 < Cyrius> and asked him what he thought of the "bitter" thing
2008-04-16 13:32 < Lubaf> Anyway.
2008-04-16 13:32 < Cyrius> and he said "yeah, we're bitter."
2008-04-16 13:33 < Working_Cat> "Clinton recently touted her experience with guns as a young child." lol
2008-04-16 13:33 < Lubaf> I'm watching Carrey right now.
2008-04-16 13:33 < TheWeasel> still, there's nothing wrong with /people/ in election campaigns.
2008-04-16 13:34 < Krimpet> PA should be interesting as both Gov. Rendell and Philly Mayor Nutter are Clinton supporters
2008-04-16 13:34 < Lubaf> He's good as a host.
2008-04-16 13:34 < Lubaf> Does anybody care about Drew Carrey?
2008-04-16 13:34 < Lubaf> No?
2008-04-16 13:34 < Working_Cat> no
2008-04-16 13:34 < TheWeasel> "Murtha says McCain too old to serve"
2008-04-16 13:35 < Lubaf> Okay, I'll just go off to my God and guns and be bitter.
2008-04-16 13:35 < TheWeasel> No irony there, no siree
2008-04-16 13:35 < TheWeasel> :-D
2008-04-16 13:35 < TheWeasel> Bitter butter
2008-04-16 13:35 < TheWeasel> bitter butter batter
2008-04-16 13:35 < TheWeasel> better bitter butter batter
2008-04-16 13:35 < Lubaf> TheWeasel: Acting as a legislator is less age sensitive than President.
2008-04-16 13:35 < TheWeasel> I know, I know
2008-04-16 13:35 < Lubaf> Much less.
2008-04-16 13:36 < TheWeasel> they just should have told someone else to say it
2008-04-16 13:37 < Lubaf> TheWeasel: I think he said that on his own.
2008-04-16 13:38 < Lubaf> Anyway.
2008-04-16 13:38 < TheWeasel> yup yup, kind of odd judgment there
2008-04-16 13:39 < Lycurgus> actually McCain seems more youthful than Murtha
2008-04-16 13:40 < Lycurgus> and he is by 3 years
2008-04-16 13:40 < TheWeasel> voilà
2008-04-16 13:40 < TheWeasel> I'm no fan of McCain's, it's well known
2008-04-16 13:40 < TheWeasel> I just found it odd
2008-04-16 13:41 < Lycurgus> come on, everybody loves an ole soldier
2008-04-16 13:42 < TheWeasel> He will be magnificently easy to impersonate.
2008-04-16 13:43 < Lycurgus> he is so completely and utterly backward though there couldn't be a better choice from my point of view for his party
2008-04-16 13:44 < Lycurgus> that combined with a modicum of honesty and integrity is sure to make for much merriment
2008-04-16 13:44 < TheWeasel> so many people on the GOP base hate him that it's great for everyone involved really.
2008-04-16 13:45 < TheWeasel> including the world at large
2008-04-16 13:45 < Lycurgus> if what's here name could just get out of the picture so the main act can start
2008-04-16 13:45 < Lycurgus> *her
2008-04-16 13:46 < Lycurgus> i think her pride will kick in and she'll bow out by Memorial Day
2008-04-16 13:46 < TheWeasel> she's real busy producing awfully scripted attack ads.
2008-04-16 13:47 < OverlordQ> http://metamerist.com/images/jmst.png
2008-04-16 13:47 < Lycurgus> she's not without supporters but the establishment has generally turned on her
2008-04-16 13:47 < OverlordQ> mccain is a cylon
2008-04-16 13:47 < OverlordQ> see pic for proof
2008-04-16 13:47 * Gazimoff lurks
2008-04-16 13:48 < Lycurgus> as as they as a couple see they can't pull it out, she'll concede.
2008-04-16 13:48 < Lycurgus> *as soon as
2008-04-16 13:49 < Lubaf> Hit me with your rhythm stick! Hit me!
2008-04-16 13:50 * Lubaf wants that song out of his head.
2008-04-16 13:50 < Lubaf> Badly.
2008-04-16 13:50 < Gazimoff> Livin' La Vida Loca?
2008-04-16 13:51 < Lubaf> Gazimoff: Not good enough.
2008-04-16 13:51 < Gazimoff> What about the Llama song?
2008-04-16 13:51 < Lubaf> Never heard of it.
2008-04-16 13:51 < Gazimoff> Lubaf: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/llama
2008-04-16 13:52 < TheWeasel> the Llama Drama?
2008-04-16 13:52 < TheWeasel> (i.e. the 1990 WC quarterfinal between West Germany and the Netherlands)
2008-04-16 13:53 < Gazimoff> No, just some somg someonene made in a similar way to badgers and mushrooms
2008-04-16 13:55 < Lubaf> Gazimoff: Now that's a good counter.
2008-04-16 13:56 < Lubaf> Badger badger badger badger badger badger mushroom mushroom!
2008-04-16 13:56 < TheWeasel> A SNAKE
2008-04-16 13:57 < Gazimoff> I try...
2008-04-16 13:58 < Mike2> # ...that the sound of fingernails scraping chalkboard may not be the world's worst sound?
2008-04-16 13:58 < TheWeasel> It so is.
2008-04-16 13:58 < TheWeasel> doesn't belong in a DYK
2008-04-16 13:59 < TheWeasel> it raises the interesting question of whether you can know something untrue
2008-04-16 14:06 < Lycurgus> that's not an interesting question
2008-04-16 14:06 < Lycurgus> just a misuse of language.
2008-04-16 14:06 < TheWeasel> I'm easily entertained.
2008-04-16 14:07 < ggreer> http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSL1330857620080416
2008-04-16 14:07 < ggreer> :/
2008-04-16 14:07 < ggreer> when do we get to be the good guys again?
2008-04-16 14:08 < Working_Cat> ggreer: not in 2008
2008-04-16 14:08 < Lycurgus> how it gets handled in technical topics such as defeasible and non-monotic logics, usw. is only slightly more interesting.
2008-04-16 14:09 < morwen> ggreer: only 289 days and counting
2008-04-16 14:09 < Gazimoff> Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but soon.
2008-04-16 14:09 < TheWeasel> Reuters is being it's subversive traitor self!
2008-04-16 14:10 < Lycurgus> hmm, I don't think BB has held up as well and Ursula Andress
2008-04-16 14:10 < Lycurgus> *as
2008-04-16 14:11 < TheWeasel> It's Not Medieval If You Do It For Freedom (tm) And The Safety Of Americans
2008-04-16 14:11 < Lycurgus> morwen: what will you do if McCain wins?
2008-04-16 14:11 < ggreer> Lycurgus: no way that guy will win
2008-04-16 14:12 < morwen> Lycurgus: um, leave the country?
2008-04-16 14:12 < morwen> Lycurgus: no, wait, i'm not actually in it. bugger.
2008-04-16 14:13 < TheWeasel> that's like saying "I want my money back. Pity it was free."
2008-04-16 14:13 < Gazimoff> Life will certainly be interesting.
2008-04-16 14:13 < TheWeasel> there's no way in hell McCain will win.
2008-04-16 14:13 < Lycurgus> 1 word: berlusconi.
2008-04-16 14:14 < TheWeasel> I don't think that's transferrable
2008-04-16 14:14 < snowolf> Lycurgus?
2008-04-16 14:14 * morwen wants to leave Italy as well.
2008-04-16 14:14 < White_Cat> TheWeasel well
2008-04-16 14:14 < White_Cat> america is not ready for a bald president
2008-04-16 14:14 * Gazimoff is lurking in the UK
2008-04-16 14:14 < Lycurgus> same principle;utterly bankrupt left leads to righ victory.
2008-04-16 14:14 < Lycurgus> *right
2008-04-16 14:15 < White_Cat> McCain is hopelessly bald
2008-04-16 14:15 < snowolf> morwen: you're in italy?
2008-04-16 14:15 < TheWeasel> the last bald presiden was Khrushch... wait, that was that other country.
2008-04-16 14:15 < Lycurgus> He is not! He's got a great combover.
2008-04-16 14:15 < morwen> snowolf: no
2008-04-16 14:15 < Huntster> heh. better a bald president than a liberal.
2008-04-16 14:15 * Huntster didn't realise he said that out loud
2008-04-16 14:15 * White_Cat thinks italians dont need a prime minister or president
2008-04-16 14:15 < ggreer> how does that guy comb his hair? he can't lift his hands above his shoulders
2008-04-16 14:15 < White_Cat> italians are far too easygoing
2008-04-16 14:16 < White_Cat> leave them alone and they will party their way to death :)
2008-04-16 14:16 * White_Cat waves two italian flags
2008-04-16 14:16 < snowolf> Italians sucks.
2008-04-16 14:16 < White_Cat> snowolf no they blow

2008-04-16 14:19 < Krimpet> TheWeasel: john quincy adams!
2008-04-16 14:19 < TheWeasel> If you count that hairstyle, you might include MVB too
2008-04-16 14:19 < Lycurgus> exceedingly unlikely that those were the only two
2008-04-16 14:20 < Krimpet> the president who was once caught swimming nude in the potomac by a female reporter, who sat on his clothes until he granted her an interview. :)

2008-04-16 14:22 < White_Cat> it is too much
2008-04-16 14:23 < TheWeasel> it ain't worth my time if there isn't "controversy" in there somewhere

2008-04-16 14:24 < White_Cat> Lycurgus no
2008-04-16 14:24 < White_Cat> hot people run for politics
2008-04-16 14:24 < TheWeasel> Plus, Garfield might take the cake for Most Obscure President
2008-04-16 14:24 < White_Cat> but people never vote for them
2008-04-16 14:24 < White_Cat> TheWeasel no
2008-04-16 14:24 < White_Cat> because of the comic strip he is known

2008-04-16 14:25 < TheWeasel> yea, THEY want you to believe Rutherford Hayes existed.
2008-04-16 14:25 < Lycurgus> Garfields not especially obscure. In germany maybe.
2008-04-16 14:25 < Krimpet> ol' rutherfraud!

2008-04-16 14:27 < Lycurgus> calhoun was just a senator
2008-04-16 14:28 < JohnReaves> I know, I just needed to point out his hair
2008-04-16 14:28 < TheWeasel> I think he was foreign minister or something?

2008-04-16 14:29 < Lycurgus> the us equiv
2008-04-16 14:29 < Lycurgus> but he's primarily known as an advocate of southern states rights
2008-04-16 14:33 < Working_Cat> TheWeasel: he was also the Vice Prez. Twice iirc.
2008-04-16 14:34 < TheWeasel> We need Tom Selleck to run. There hasn't been a moustachioed president since Taft.
2008-04-16 14:34 < Working_Cat> also, a large area of his land was later convered to Clemson University
2008-04-16 14:34 < Working_Cat> though you prolly wouldnt have heard about Clemson
2008-04-16 14:35 < Working_Cat> its not very famous except for its mind blowingly hot girls.
2008-04-16 14:35 < TheWeasel> heard the name
2008-04-16 14:35 < TheWeasel> not in connection to its angelic females

2008-04-16 16:18 < Ceiling_Cat> (see [[trashionals]])
2008-04-16 16:18 < Working_Cat> i am familiar with trashionals.
2008-04-16 16:18 < Ceiling_Cat> to do this, we need to reserve a particular building as far in advance as possible (preferably already)
2008-04-16 16:18 < Working_Cat> theyre trashy
2008-04-16 16:19 < Ceiling_Cat> normally, we file a request 2 or 3 months in advance, we get the building, then we announce the tournament
2008-04-16 16:19 < Ceiling_Cat> for this one, we can't put in our bid to host it until we know we have a building
2008-04-16 16:19 < Ceiling_Cat> Hi Mark, I heard back from Academic Scheduling this morning. Due to the nature of this event and that many of the participants are non-University of Delaware students the event is considered an external event and would need to be scheduled through Conference Services. This means that all rooms, equipment, custodial coverage, etc. will be charged for.
2008-04-16 16:20 < Ceiling_Cat> Ass hats
2008-04-16 16:20 < Working_Cat> well theyre kinda justified
2008-04-16 16:21 < Ceiling_Cat> Working_Cat - we have never had any problems with getting a building the normal way
2008-04-16 16:21 < Working_Cat> even for external thingys?
2008-04-16 16:21 < Ceiling_Cat> Working_Cat - all our events are external
2008-04-16 16:21 < Ceiling_Cat> (in nature, at least)
2008-04-16 16:21 < IceKarma> Ceiling_Cat, new asshat in Academic Scheduling?
2008-04-16 16:21 < Ceiling_Cat> we play against other teams
2008-04-16 16:22 < Ceiling_Cat> from other universities
2008-04-16 16:22 < Ceiling_Cat> we go to their tournaments, they come to ours
2008-04-16 16:22 < Ceiling_Cat> anyway, you're missing the larger issue
2008-04-16 16:22 < Ceiling_Cat> this kind of thing helps boost the university's profile
2008-04-16 16:23 < Ceiling_Cat> this is the kind of thing that should be encouraged, not discouraged
2008-04-16 16:23 < Mato> anyone here use tw?

2008-04-16 16:32 < TheWeasel> the football that is played, you know, with the feet.
2008-04-16 16:32 < Ceiling_Cat> Working_Cat - you forgot to grease him before tossing him
2008-04-16 16:32 < Working_Cat> and a shaved one at that

2008-04-16 16:45 < ThatGuyThatShow> just sayin'

2008-04-16 16:46 < ThatGuyThatShow> i have an idea for the perfect system to kill
2008-04-16 16:46 < ThatGuyThatShow> a really sharp blade, and a heavy weight on top of it
2008-04-16 16:46 < ggreer> ThatGuyThatShow: use pure nitrogen?
2008-04-16 16:46 < ggreer> oh

2008-04-16 16:48 < ggreer> unusual, but not cruel IMO
2008-04-16 16:48 < ggreer> therefore it's a-ok!
2008-04-16 16:48 < ggreer> it's also ok if you do a cruel punishment a lot, since then it's not unusual
2008-04-16 16:48 < ThatGuyThatShow> it seems so
2008-04-16 16:49 < ThatGuyThatShow> kevorkian still has a few shambling years ahead of him, he could do it right

2008-04-16 17:36 * TheWeasel keeps typing his political career CV
2008-04-16 17:37 * TheWeasel loves boilerplate warm-fuzzies
2008-04-16 17:39 < Working_Cat> TheWeasel: make sure to include that part where you dodged bullets.

2008-04-16 17:44 < Mike_H> Well, hello! I've telepathed myself into the future to comment on how others can't do face or fashion...like I or me. I don't like to be imitated. Ca-caw!

2008-04-16 17:45 < Mike_H> Oh, yes, double eyes tried to do me and then copy my videos. Big hair doesn't stop your thoughts from escaping. Two words: conditioner. Who just spent a night with a pirate? Nice beard. Hoot!
2008-04-16 17:45 < Mike_H> I can't see your fat ass because of your small waist. How forgiving good lighting can be. Don't spread, your accordion will start bellowing. Shave the other side, nobody likes a free buffet.
2008-04-16 17:46 < Mike_H> Nice look! ...if you're trying to conceal your third trimester.

2008-04-16 19:30 < geniice> quanticle zee no picture bit at the top
2008-04-16 19:32 < Working_Cat> yeah
2008-04-16 19:32 < quanticle> What about it?
2008-04-16 19:32 < TheWeasel> "You have two dead cows in need of storage. When you came pulling into this farm, did you see a sign on the barn that said "dead cow storage?" THAT'S CAUSE STORING DEAD COWS AIN'T MY FUCKING BUSINESS, OK?"
2008-04-16 19:32 < TheWeasel> :-D
2008-04-16 19:32 < Working_Cat> quanticle: theres a pic down below
2008-04-16 19:32 < Working_Cat> TheWeasel: lol
2008-04-16 19:32 < [21655]> TheWeasel: from where did that quote come?
2008-04-16 19:32 < quanticle> Working_Cat: But that's not a weapon class destroyer
2008-04-16 19:33 < TheWeasel> Uncyc cow-ification of a Pulp Fiction quote
2008-04-16 19:33 < quanticle> [21655]: Its a paraphrase of Pulp Fiction
2008-04-16 19:33 < [21655]> ah
2008-04-16 19:33 < Working_Cat> quanticle: in that case, it shouldnt be there
2008-04-16 19:33 < quanticle> Working_Cat: True enough. At least the picture is properly identified.
2008-04-16 19:33 < Working_Cat> i think someone was just being inattentive
2008-04-16 19:33 < quanticle> TheWeasel: Its funnier in the original.
2008-04-16 19:33 * TheWeasel nods
2008-04-16 19:33 < geniice> quanticle eh? looks like HMS battle axe
2008-04-16 19:34 < Working_Cat> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Battleaxe_%28D118%29
2008-04-16 19:34 < Working_Cat> quanticle: it IS a weapon class. supposedly. it does not cite references.
2008-04-16 19:35 < quanticle> Huh.
2008-04-16 19:35 < Gazimoff> I used to call my mother in law a battleaxe. I guess that's where the saying comes from
2008-04-16 19:35 * Working_Cat puts up a sign saying "Dead Whizzle Storage"
2008-04-16 19:35 < quanticle> TheWeasel: In Pulp Fiction, were the contents of the briefcase ever revealed?
2008-04-16 19:35 < Working_Cat> quanticle: pfft, shame on you for asking that
2008-04-16 19:36 < Working_Cat> its well known that the contents were never revealed :D
2008-04-16 19:36 * TheWeasel doesn't know minutiae any more
2008-04-16 19:36 < TheWeasel> probably not
2008-04-16 19:36 < TheWeasel> yea

2008-04-16 19:36 < quanticle> Working_Cat: I thought so, but its been so long since I've seen that movie, I wasn't sure.
2008-04-16 19:37 < Working_Cat> quanticle: shame on you for not watching that movie every 6 months
2008-04-16 19:37 < quanticle> Hmmm, it was Pulp Fiction vs. Forrest Gump for the 1995 Best Picture Oscar.
2008-04-16 19:37 < Working_Cat> you bring disgrace to the MotherNet
2008-04-16 19:37 < Rinn> Anyone else having that annoying midde-click-registers-twice bug in Firefox?
2008-04-16 19:37 < TheWeasel> quanticle: No love for Shawshank.
2008-04-16 19:38 < geniice> Rinn no which version are you useing?
2008-04-16 19:38 < quanticle> TheWeasel: Or Pulp Fiction for that matter. Forrest Gump kicked ass that year.
2008-04-16 19:38 < TheWeasel> it did.
