2008-04-20 10:28 < Leslie_S> Lucifer_Cat it was a night club. most people couldnt really hear my voice anyway.
2008-04-20 10:28 < Leslie_S> and he didnt seem to care
2008-04-20 10:28 < Lucifer_Cat> well thats good.
2008-04-20 10:28 < Leslie_S> thats why i did it
2008-04-20 10:31 < Lucifer_Cat> getting closer to the goal heh
2008-04-20 10:31 < Lucifer_Cat> that reminds me i have to find a date...
2008-04-20 10:32 < Lucifer_Cat> ...which i will do as soon as i've finished season 1 of numb3rs
2008-04-20 10:33 < kmccoy> Rain. :/
2008-04-20 10:34 < Morpheus> lol, I've finished season 2 yesterday
2008-04-20 10:34 < Lucifer_Cat> yeah i just started watching this morning
2008-04-20 10:34 < Lucifer_Cat> on episode 2 atm
2008-04-20 10:36 < Bacta> heh http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/04/19/1452244
2008-04-20 10:36 < Bacta> I'm still wrapping my head around that one
2008-04-20 10:40 < Lucifer_Cat> Bacta: i suggest you stop trying to do that.
2008-04-20 10:41 < Lucifer_Cat> its a circular reference. it will wrap on and on.
2008-04-20 10:41 < Bacta> my assumption is they wanted to prove something, so they wrote it on the article
2008-04-20 10:41 < Bacta> then wrote their own article
2008-04-20 10:41 < Bacta> then referenced what they wrote before with the article they wrote
2008-04-20 10:43 * SynergeticMag does a double yawn
2008-04-20 10:44 < Lucifer_Cat> maggie!!
2008-04-20 10:45 < Lucifer_Cat> Bacta: quite possible

2008-04-20 10:55 < Lucifer_Cat> btw, that aint a rickroll... thats that Tchai thing SynergeticMag is listening to... a highly animated asian wand waver with equally animated playas
2008-04-20 10:56 < SynergeticMag> :/
2008-04-20 10:57 < Lucifer_Cat> the moosic is awesome, but the people are really funny. rather unwittingly though.
2008-04-20 10:57 < Lucifer_Cat> SynergeticMag: are you a brit?
2008-04-20 10:58 < Jonathunder> I uploaded a photo I took of a Nobel Prize
2008-04-20 10:58 < SynergeticMag> no, not a brit
2008-04-20 10:58 < Lucifer_Cat> hmmm then i guess im confused.
2008-04-20 10:58 < Jonathunder> but I'm not sure how I can license it
2008-04-20 10:58 < SynergeticMag> why?
2008-04-20 10:58 < Lucifer_Cat> Jonathunder: cool. how did u get to take a pic of it?
2008-04-20 10:58 < Lucifer_Cat> oh museum?
2008-04-20 10:59 < Jonathunder> it is on display at the Mayo Clinic near where I live
2008-04-20 11:00 < Jonathunder> it's the 1950 prize for medicine which 2 Mayo doctors shared
2008-04-20 11:02 < Jonathunder> someone else had uploaded a photo of one, but I guess there must have been a hassle about licensing
2008-04-20 11:02 < Lucifer_Cat> ooo 3some
2008-04-20 11:02 < lunakeet> Hi guys
2008-04-20 11:02 < lunakeet> :) I love wikipedia! Is anyone else a wikipediaholic?
2008-04-20 11:03 < Lucifer_Cat> no, we are here to protest against wikipedia.
2008-04-20 11:03 < lunakeet> Then why are you here?
2008-04-20 11:03 < Lucifer_Cat> if you like wiki, then by definition you are enemy, and not welcome here.
2008-04-20 11:03 < lunakeet> Wait, is this the wrong place?
2008-04-20 11:04 < Lucifer_Cat> very much
2008-04-20 11:04 < Jonathunder> so I'm not sure if I should use this in an article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:1950Nobel.JPG
2008-04-20 11:04 < Lucifer_Cat> kidding.
2008-04-20 11:04 < lunakeet> OK.
2008-04-20 11:04 < Lucifer_Cat> everyone here is a wikiholic
2008-04-20 11:04 < Arwen> [[test]]
2008-04-20 11:04 < lunakeet> It doesn't link, does it?
2008-04-20 11:05 < lunakeet> [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Main]
2008-04-20 11:05 < lunakeet> Oh, cool, that links.
2008-04-20 11:05 < Jonathunder> I wish it were a better photo, but the glass was at an angle, making it hard to avoid glare or reflection
2008-04-20 11:05 < Lucifer_Cat> how did u do that lunakeet
2008-04-20 11:06 < lunakeet> I just typed it http:// then the wikipedia URL
2008-04-20 11:06 < Lucifer_Cat> http://[[Portal]]
2008-04-20 11:07 < lunakeet> I have to go do school work now. Bye all!
2008-04-20 11:07 * Lucifer_Cat phails
2008-04-20 11:07 < pengo> Jonathunder: well it's sharper than http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Nobel_medal_dsc06171.jpg but has that glare
2008-04-20 11:08 < Jonathunder> I took a whole lot of shots: most were terrible with glare. This was the best
2008-04-20 11:10 * Lucifer_Cat glares at Jonathunder
2008-04-20 11:10 < Jonathunder> lol
2008-04-20 11:11 < pengo> Jonathunder: off camera strobe is good for glass
2008-04-20 11:11 < Jonathunder> if I had that, I'd use it
2008-04-20 11:11 < pengo> :)
2008-04-20 11:12 < Jonathunder> the little museum at Mayo where this is open only when I normally work, so I can't get there often
2008-04-20 11:12 < Jonathunder> but I'll try again when I can
2008-04-20 11:13 < pengo> Jonathunder: try taking a photo from a distance with zoom.. could make the glare smaller
2008-04-20 11:13 < Jonathunder> but what do people think of licensing?
2008-04-20 11:13 < Jonathunder> I'll try that, pengo
2008-04-20 11:14 < pengo> Jonathunder: see the licensing for http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Nobel_medal_dsc06171.jpg
2008-04-20 11:14 < Jonathunder> yeah, that page confused me
2008-04-20 11:14 < kingturtle> gmorning
2008-04-20 11:14 < pengo> Jonathunder: "This work contains material which may be subject to trademark laws"
2008-04-20 11:14 < pengo> but the design itself is out of copyright
2008-04-20 11:15 < SynergeticMag> morning kingturtle
2008-04-20 11:15 < Jonathunder> do I need to all all those tags to my image?
2008-04-20 11:16 < pengo> Jonathunder: probably
2008-04-20 11:16 < pengo> anyway.. i'm going.. night

2008-04-20 11:20 < lunakeet> How did you do the grey (gray?) background?
2008-04-20 11:22 < lunakeet> Wait, maybe that's just how I see it. Because of different people...
2008-04-20 11:22 < lunakeet> being here

2008-04-20 11:26 < SynergeticMag> #wikipedia-en-lectures
2008-04-20 11:26 < lunakeet> Hi back. Thanks synergeticMag
2008-04-20 11:26 < SynergeticMag> n/p
2008-04-20 11:27 < lunakeet> I assumed the lectures would actually be ''in'' the program Skype. ~~~~
2008-04-20 11:27 < SynergeticMag> they're setting up so we can hear them but i'm not sure which one will be used yet
2008-04-20 11:27 < lunakeet> Oh, all right.
2008-04-20 11:27 < Lycurgus> but now you may assume either 1) the lectures are "about" Skype, oder 2)
2008-04-20 11:27 < lunakeet> Ah. Claro.
2008-04-20 11:27 < Lycurgus> (fill in blank per your preference)
2008-04-20 11:28 < lunakeet> ¡Muy claro!
2008-04-20 11:28 < kim_bruning> the lectures are in skype
2008-04-20 11:28 < kim_bruning> about wikipedia
2008-04-20 11:28 < kim_bruning> Claro eh?
2008-04-20 11:28 < Lycurgus> alles klar.
2008-04-20 11:28 < lunakeet> Okay. Thanks. I sometimes speak in Spanish randomly
2008-04-20 11:28 < kim_bruning> wunderbahr!
2008-04-20 11:28 < lunakeet> German?
2008-04-20 11:29 < kim_bruning> I guess
2008-04-20 11:29 < lunakeet> OK
2008-04-20 11:29 < lunakeet> Hi fargeskugg
2008-04-20 11:29 < Lycurgus> german tv should have subtitles like chinese tv
2008-04-20 11:30 < Lycurgus> (in german, not english )
2008-04-20 11:30 < lunakeet> Yeah, it should. I guess they assume you can translate it yourself more easily on Babelfish
2008-04-20 11:30 < lunakeet> Bye VasilievVV! :(
2008-04-20 11:30 < lunakeet> Bye MayaSan! :(
2008-04-20 11:31 < Lycurgus> no I meant for the same reason chinese tv has subtitles in chinese
2008-04-20 11:31 < lunakeet> To confuse americans?
2008-04-20 11:31 < lunakeet> Hi mardetanha! :)
2008-04-20 11:31 < mardetanha> hi
2008-04-20 11:31 < Lycurgus> you don't have to do anything for that

2008-04-20 11:32 < lunakeet> :) :)
2008-04-20 11:33 < mardetanha> :-*
2008-04-20 11:33 < lunakeet> Fibonacci smilies! W00t!
2008-04-20 11:33 < lunakeet> I know the sequence to 6765
2008-04-20 11:33 < Lycurgus> you memorized Fibonacci?
2008-04-20 11:33 < lunakeet> Hi lazulilasher! How are you?
2008-04-20 11:33 < lunakeet> Yes, I did.
2008-04-20 11:34 < lunakeet> I'm OCD about math patterns.
2008-04-20 11:34 < lunakeet> Bye ShakespeareFan00! :(
2008-04-20 11:34 < Lycurgus> You know about the guy that can compute tens of thousands of digits of transcendental numbers like pi in his head?
2008-04-20 11:34 < lunakeet> Hi NotASpy. Hi PolecatVlad. Bye kmccoy and Mark_Ryan!
2008-04-20 11:35 < lunakeet> Yeah.
2008-04-20 11:35 < PolecatVlad> wow, someone has proper coordination
2008-04-20 11:35 < PolecatVlad> :-)
2008-04-20 11:35 < lunakeet> I have pi to one million digits
2008-04-20 11:35 < lunakeet> not memorised.
2008-04-20 11:35 < NotASpy> hi lunakeet
2008-04-20 11:35 < Lycurgus> he doesn't memorize, he computes.
2008-04-20 11:35 < lunakeet> I have 22 digits memorized. Hi notaspy
2008-04-20 11:35 < lunakeet> OK. claro
2008-04-20 11:36 < lunakeet> I'm trying something- lunakeet
2008-04-20 11:36 < Lycurgus> he's gay of course.
2008-04-20 11:36 < PolecatVlad> Chuck Norris doesn't memorise the digits of pi - he determines them.
2008-04-20 11:36 < lunakeet> bye ausir
2008-04-20 11:36 < Lycurgus> (just had to say that)
2008-04-20 11:36 < lunakeet> LOLZ
2008-04-20 11:37 < lunakeet> why is there amber?
2008-04-20 11:37 < lunakeet> because of my name
2008-04-20 11:37 < lunakeet> but only when you all write it
2008-04-20 11:37 * PolecatVlad loves Google ads
2008-04-20 11:38 < lunakeet> Really?
2008-04-20 11:38 < PolecatVlad> they sometimes fit in an odd way.
2008-04-20 11:38 < lunakeet> Google is cool.
2008-04-20 11:38 < PolecatVlad> on German uncyc.
2008-04-20 11:38 < lunakeet> Yeah. You're right
2008-04-20 11:38 < lunakeet> Uncyclopedia?
2008-04-20 11:38 < PolecatVlad> Yea.
2008-04-20 11:38 < lunakeet> OK. I used to hate it. But about 1% is sort of hilarious. The rest is trash.
2008-04-20 11:39 < lunakeet> Uncyclopedia, I mean. No kill I
2008-04-20 11:39 < lunakeet> !
2008-04-20 11:39 < PolecatVlad> there's a decidedly blasphemous article with an ad next to it that says "STOP BLASPHEMY - Appeal to the president for a Christian Germany"
2008-04-20 11:39 < lunakeet> can't forget punctuation:(
2008-04-20 11:39 < lunakeet> :)
2008-04-20 11:39 < PolecatVlad> I like Uncyclopedia.
2008-04-20 11:39 < Messedrocker> Germany has a President?
2008-04-20 11:39 < lunakeet> It's cool
2008-04-20 11:39 < lunakeet> Yeah
2008-04-20 11:39 < lunakeet> They do:)
2008-04-20 11:39 < PolecatVlad> yea, he's kind of like the queen of England.
2008-04-20 11:39 < Messedrocker> I thought Merkymerk was the Chancellor
2008-04-20 11:40 < PolecatVlad> in what he is allowed to do.
2008-04-20 11:40 < PolecatVlad> She is.
2008-04-20 11:40 < PolecatVlad> [[Horst Köhler]]
2008-04-20 11:40 < Messedrocker> Who is the President then?
2008-04-20 11:40 < lunakeet> The president:)
2008-04-20 11:40 < lunakeet> Actually I think they say chancellor instead:)
2008-04-20 11:40 < PolecatVlad> his name is Horst Köhler and he's kind of the nation's notary.
2008-04-20 11:40 < PolecatVlad> no
2008-04-20 11:40 < lunakeet> OK.
2008-04-20 11:40 < PolecatVlad> those are two different offices.
2008-04-20 11:41 < PolecatVlad> the president is the head of state but he has little political power.
2008-04-20 11:41 < lunakeet> Now I know. My social studies class was wrong, apparently.
2008-04-20 11:41 < Messedrocker> so he's kind of like how there was a King and then there was Otto Von Bismarck
2008-04-20 11:41 < lunakeet> OK. claro
2008-04-20 11:41 < PolecatVlad> the chancellor is only the fourth in line, but by far the most powerful.
2008-04-20 11:42 < PolecatVlad> Heh... in the Weimar Republic, presidents were far more powerful than today
2008-04-20 11:42 < lunakeet> Ah. clarissimo
2008-04-20 11:42 < lunakeet> I gues that's how i
2008-04-20 11:42 * Mike_H pets PolecatVlad
2008-04-20 11:42 < PolecatVlad> and so they got rid of that office.
2008-04-20 11:42 < lunakeet> would say it. darn! misspellingzz
2008-04-20 11:42 < PolecatVlad> :-)
2008-04-20 11:43 < PolecatVlad> and now the president represents, is a moral leader and a notary over the legislative process
2008-04-20 11:43 < PolecatVlad> kind of like the queen.
2008-04-20 11:43 < lunakeet> And accidentally pressing enter too early. Thanks. Now I'll tell all my friends who won't listen
2008-04-20 11:43 < lunakeet> Because everything I say is sci-fi
2008-04-20 11:43 < PolecatVlad> Enjoy :-D
2008-04-20 11:44 < PolecatVlad> brb, dishes.
2008-04-20 11:44 < PolecatVlad> aka "Die Teller harren meiner."
2008-04-20 11:44 < lunakeet> Thanks! http://www.thankyouandywarhol.com That many times! (a million)
2008-04-20 11:44 < lunakeet> :)
2008-04-20 11:44 * PolecatVlad <3 verbs that take the genitive case
2008-04-20 11:44 < lunakeet> Thankyouthankyouthankyoualll
2008-04-20 11:45 < Lycurgus> (das fernsehen aufmerkung war fuer nur einige programmen, meistens haben klares hochdeutsch, besonders nachricten usw.)
2008-04-20 11:45 < lunakeet> All! darn. another missspellinng
2008-04-20 11:45 < PolecatVlad> there are special programmes in Low German and stuff
2008-04-20 11:45 < PolecatVlad> but yea.
2008-04-20 11:45 < PolecatVlad> :-)
2008-04-20 11:46 < lunakeet> I mean Eine andere Schreibweise. Of course I used GoogleTranslate. May not be correct
2008-04-20 11:46 < lunakeet> Bye prentice! Bye erosion
2008-04-20 11:46 < PolecatVlad> it sounds oddly good.
2008-04-20 11:46 < lunakeet> Bye NeX
2008-04-20 11:47 < lunakeet> :\
2008-04-20 11:47 < lunakeet> Whoa, cool!
2008-04-20 11:47 < lunakeet> I'm sorry, I like emoticons
2008-04-20 11:47 < PolecatVlad> Google Translate is unnecessarily verbose.
2008-04-20 11:47 < PolecatVlad> it would be far better if it was plainer.
2008-04-20 11:47 < lunakeet> I know. It's always that way:(
2008-04-20 11:47 < lunakeet> :(
2008-04-20 11:47 < lunakeet> It doesn't work in Spanish either
2008-04-20 11:48 < PolecatVlad> it translates "make" as "bilden", which sounds fancy but is wrong 90% of the time
2008-04-20 11:48 < lunakeet> Ah, yes, it also won't use Castilian Spanish, what my teacher is teaching us.
2008-04-20 11:48 < lunakeet> Hi ideogram! How are you?
2008-04-20 11:48 < PolecatVlad> it uses American Spanish?
2008-04-20 11:48 < PolecatVlad> that's fun
2008-04-20 11:48 < PolecatVlad> didn't know that
2008-04-20 11:48 < lunakeet> I guess
2008-04-20 11:49 < bumm13> ¡vosotros!
2008-04-20 11:49 < ideogram> oh, hello
2008-04-20 11:49 < Messedrocker> bunka bo!
2008-04-20 11:49 < ideogram> I am fine, thanks
2008-04-20 11:49 < lunakeet> That's castilian bumm13
2008-04-20 11:49 < Lycurgus> I wonder if they have their own or use somebody elses (natural language translation package)?
2008-04-20 11:49 < PolecatVlad> kohmo eshta ushtäd?
2008-04-20 11:49 < bumm13> yep
2008-04-20 11:49 < PolecatVlad> :-D
2008-04-20 11:49 < ideogram> la eshpesha
2008-04-20 11:49 < PolecatVlad> Lycurgus: Almost certainly Systran.
2008-04-20 11:49 < bumm13> American Spanish dumped the formal "you all" conjugation
2008-04-20 11:49 < Lycurgus> yes something like that I presume
2008-04-20 11:49 < PolecatVlad> "all y'all"
2008-04-20 11:49 < lunakeet> Actually the informal. Ustedes is formal
2008-04-20 11:50 < bumm13> oh yeah, that's right
2008-04-20 11:50 < lunakeet> Welcome. I mean de nada
2008-04-20 11:50 * PolecatVlad doesn't speak Spanish but reads it with reasonable fluency
2008-04-20 11:50 < lunakeet> Hi bsaxon. Cómo está?
2008-04-20 11:50 < lunakeet> Oh.
2008-04-20 11:51 < lunakeet> That's how most schools teach it.
2008-04-20 11:51 < bsaxon> hi
2008-04-20 11:51 < PolecatVlad> Same with Italian.
2008-04-20 11:51 < lunakeet> Hi
2008-04-20 11:51 < bsaxon> i am fine
2008-04-20 11:51 < lunakeet> Most schools use writing, mine talking.
2008-04-20 11:51 < lunakeet> I'm OK.
2008-04-20 11:51 < PolecatVlad> talking is important, most people follow a wrong course.
2008-04-20 11:51 < lunakeet> Yeah
2008-04-20 11:52 < lunakeet> This is what they meant by off-topic
2008-04-20 11:52 < PolecatVlad> they try to say the things with the same complexity as in their native language
2008-04-20 11:52 < PolecatVlad> which is bound to fail
2008-04-20 11:52 < lunakeet> Oh yeah, they do
2008-04-20 11:52 < lunakeet> It is
2008-04-20 11:52 < Lycurgus> i was dissappointed to see no Romance language is overall close to latin, Italian on vocabulary, Romanian on noun declension, etc, but that's it.
2008-04-20 11:52 < lunakeet> Really? I've found most Romance languages are very similar word-wise
2008-04-20 11:52 < PolecatVlad> Romanian is more case-friendly due to Slavic influences, I dare say.
2008-04-20 11:52 < Lycurgus> didn't so much die as melt/disintegrate.
2008-04-20 11:52 * Lucifer_Cat huggles PolecatVlad
2008-04-20 11:53 < lunakeet> Hi again ideogram
2008-04-20 11:53 < ideogram> hahaha
2008-04-20 11:53 < PolecatVlad> Latin is too complex to survive for long
2008-04-20 11:53 < ideogram> hello again
2008-04-20 11:53 < lunakeet> Hi AzaTht! Cómo está!
2008-04-20 11:53 < PolecatVlad> it disintegrated into simpler forms quite early on.
2008-04-20 11:53 < lunakeet> Darn ? not !
2008-04-20 11:54 < lunakeet> Hi ideogram.
2008-04-20 11:54 < PolecatVlad> especially more structured word order
2008-04-20 11:54 < lunakeet> Latin's all ready dead
2008-04-20 11:54 < AzaTht> ¡Esta bien!
2008-04-20 11:54 * PolecatVlad took Latin at school
2008-04-20 11:54 < lunakeet> already. darn mispelinng
2008-04-20 11:54 < PolecatVlad> it's a lovely language
2008-04-20 11:54 < lunakeet> Ah, bien. Estoy bien tambien
2008-04-20 11:54 < Lycurgus> that attitude deesn't augur well for languages like high german vs. those like nederlands, danish, etc.
2008-04-20 11:55 < AzaTht> my Spanish is borked :(
2008-04-20 11:55 < lunakeet> I just realised I've been listening to good riddance (time of your life) for an hour straight.
2008-04-20 11:55 < PolecatVlad> German loses grammatical complexity even faster than English.
2008-04-20 11:55 < lunakeet> But not as fast as newspeak!
2008-04-20 11:55 < PolecatVlad> (where English is already dropping the subjunctive etc.)
2008-04-20 11:55 < PolecatVlad> lunakeet: Hah. Yup.
2008-04-20 11:56 < lunakeet> bye torch! leaving ungood.
2008-04-20 11:56 < lunakeet> Thanks!
2008-04-20 11:56 * ideogram NP: Kylie Minogue -- slow (chemical brothers remix)
2008-04-20 11:56 < lunakeet> Nooooooooooooooooooo! I have to leave for lunch. Be back later. (cries)

2008-04-20 11:56 < lunakeet> Doctor Who!
2008-04-20 11:56 * bumm13 brushes his teeth
2008-04-20 11:57 < lunakeet> I like the ninth doctor.
2008-04-20 11:57 < lunakeet> He was cool
2008-04-20 11:57 < lazulilasher> i wish englishe WERE not losing the subjunctive
2008-04-20 11:57 < lunakeet> Maybe I don't have to leave yet.
2008-04-20 11:57 < lunakeet> Yes!!!! :) :) :) :) :)
2008-04-20 11:57 < lunakeet> :)
2008-04-20 11:57 < lazulilasher> i've tried to campaign my colleagues to repopularize the subjunctive
2008-04-20 11:58 < lunakeet> I try to get classmates to use proper grammar
2008-04-20 11:58 < lunakeet> This other kid and I force people to.
2008-04-20 11:58 < lunakeet> even teachers
2008-04-20 11:58 < ideogram> that is so fetch
2008-04-20 11:58 < bumm13> ()o.o()
2008-04-20 11:58 < Messedrocker> what's so good about the subjunctive
2008-04-20 11:58 < lunakeet> Use adverbs when you should! it's realLY quickLY!
2008-04-20 11:59 < lazulilasher> the subjunctive is beautiful. I recommend we BE more conscious of it.
2008-04-20 11:59 < lunakeet> Oh no! PolectVlad! COME BACK!!!!!!!!:( :( NOOO
2008-04-20 11:59 < lunakeet> PolecatVlad. Sorry, another misspellinggggg

2008-04-20 13:34 < Fennec> no, just regular
2008-04-20 13:34 < kim_bruning> still way cool
2008-04-20 13:35 < kim_bruning> :-)

2008-04-20 13:36 < Fennec> bumm13_: cute.
2008-04-20 13:36 < bumm13> :D
2008-04-20 13:38 * bumm13 played trumpet in high school
2008-04-20 13:38 * PolecatVlad still reads the massive FA from de.
2008-04-20 13:38 < kim_bruning> Fennec, cool!
2008-04-20 13:38 < bumm13> was a so-so player
2008-04-20 13:38 < kim_bruning> playing slowly :-)
2008-04-20 13:39 < PolecatVlad> Resistance is futile, no matter how many ohms!
2008-04-20 13:40 * PolecatVlad was a bloody awful recorder player
2008-04-20 13:40 < Lycurgus> so the synthetic rule for wp is obey the rules and be a strong dick
2008-04-20 13:40 < bumm13> it's hard to hit lower notes on a recorder
2008-04-20 13:40 < Lycurgus> ([[user:kim_bruning]]) I can do that.
2008-04-20 13:41 < MessedRocker> what's with albums starting out really strong then descending into lame?
2008-04-20 13:42 < PolecatVlad> Usually, at least the last song tends to be acceptable again.
2008-04-20 13:42 < bumm13> example?
2008-04-20 13:42 < PolecatVlad> Counterexample: Blonde On Blonde starts awfully and gets better and better.
2008-04-20 13:43 < PolecatVlad> lol "although heterosexual behavior is not tolerated in the Catholic Church, they support it cautiously."
2008-04-20 13:43 < MessedRocker> LoL Catholics
2008-04-20 13:43 < Fennec> MessedRocker: the best songs in the first couple of positions gather more attention than lame songs in the first couple of positions
2008-04-20 13:43 < PolecatVlad> the so called straight marriage is not valid for priests.
2008-04-20 13:44 < PolecatVlad> The last three songs except for the very last are usually where shit is dumped.
2008-04-20 13:44 < Lycurgus> does that mean RC clerics can jack-off as long as their ideation is of the opposite sex?
2008-04-20 13:44 < PolecatVlad> That transcends the initial joke
2008-04-20 13:44 < PolecatVlad> :-/
2008-04-20 13:44 < Lycurgus> s/clerics/religious orders/
2008-04-20 13:45 < Lycurgus> joke? As stated earlier, Lycurgus is not that good with hooman humor.
2008-04-20 13:46 < PolecatVlad> nebbuh mind.
2008-04-20 13:47 < PolecatVlad> on n'oublie rien de rien/on s'habitue/c'est tout

2008-04-20 13:55 < quanticle> er, rehi
2008-04-20 13:56 * quanticle wonders how that 't' got in there.
2008-04-20 13:56 < PolecatVlad> I know that, duh.
2008-04-20 13:56 * PolecatVlad should be less deadpan or more obviously witty or both

2008-04-20 13:59 < quanticle> MessedRocker: Is that a band name or something?
2008-04-20 13:59 < MessedRocker> it's a city, foo
2008-04-20 14:00 < quanticle> MessedRocker: No, that's Leningrad, not LeNiNgRaD
2008-04-20 14:00 < PolecatVlad> Reninglad in Japanese.
2008-04-20 14:00 < quanticle> PolecatVlad: You mean Reningrad
2008-04-20 14:00 < PolecatVlad> in Germany the stereotype goes that East Asians shift r => l
2008-04-20 14:00 < PolecatVlad> not the other way round as in English
2008-04-20 14:01 < quanticle> MessedRocker: Actually, it isn't even Leningrad anymore, its St. Petersburg.
2008-04-20 14:01 < PolecatVlad> St. Petersburg, Florida being renamed Jebbygrad.
2008-04-20 14:03 < MessedRocker> and where is PolecatVlad from?
2008-04-20 14:03 < MessedRocker> Polecategrad?
2008-04-20 14:03 * PolecatVlad is from Jelly Doughnut
2008-04-20 14:03 < MessedRocker> ah
2008-04-20 14:04 < MessedRocker> i'm from Mouth Valley
2008-04-20 14:04 < PolecatVlad> That sounds slightly alarming.
2008-04-20 14:05 < MessedRocker> Mouth Valley is a city in Recently-Created Football Shirt
2008-04-20 14:05 < PolecatVlad> oh, excuse me, I have to move to the district Strawberry Jam Heights
2008-04-20 14:06 < PolecatVlad> brb
2008-04-20 14:09 < MessedRocker> ohhh i am so damn excited
2008-04-20 14:10 < MessedRocker> i am buying Metroid Prime
2008-04-20 14:14 < Cyrius> MessedRocker: 1?
2008-04-20 14:14 < MessedRocker> yes
2008-04-20 14:14 * Cyrius has thought about going and getting the series
2008-04-20 14:15 < Ceiling_Cat> wow
2008-04-20 14:15 * PolecatVlad yawns
2008-04-20 14:15 < PolecatVlad> back
2008-04-20 14:15 < Ceiling_Cat> there will be not one, but two movies about the life of pablo escobar made this year
2008-04-20 14:15 < Cyrius> nothing surprising there
2008-04-20 14:15 < MessedRocker> Cyrius, 3 is neat.
2008-04-20 14:15 * Lycurgus has decided that his attachment style for hoomans in general will be secure, but for individuals will remain dismissive/avoidant
2008-04-20 14:15 < MessedRocker> But I hear it doesn't compare to the rest of the series
2008-04-20 14:16 < MessedRocker> The controls are great, though.
2008-04-20 14:16 < Cyrius> Ceiling_Cat: haven't you ever noticed that movies about similar subjects come out in a short timeframe?
2008-04-20 14:16 < MessedRocker> I've only ever played the third.
2008-04-20 14:16 < Cyrius> I haven't played any of them
2008-04-20 14:16 < MessedRocker> well supposedly Metroid Prime is one of the best games ever created.
2008-04-20 14:16 < MessedRocker> Yeah.
2008-04-20 14:16 < Lycurgus> uhh ...
2008-04-20 14:17 < Lycurgus> "you'd be so grand at the game"
2008-04-20 14:17 < MessedRocker> ?
2008-04-20 14:18 < quanticle> MessedRocker: Metroid Prime is a very good game, but I'd hardly be one to call it one of the best ever.
2008-04-20 14:18 < MessedRocker> quanticle, did you play the third one?
2008-04-20 14:19 < quanticle> MessedRocker: The third Metroid game?
2008-04-20 14:19 < enok|walker> I just realized I bought MP2 and never played it :/
2008-04-20 14:19 < MessedRocker> yes, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
2008-04-20 14:20 < Axeman> hey, wassap
2008-04-20 14:20 < MessedRocker> hi Axeman
2008-04-20 14:20 < Axeman> I'm gonna go revert some IRL vandalism
2008-04-20 14:20 < MessedRocker> nice
2008-04-20 14:20 < MessedRocker> with paint?
2008-04-20 14:21 < Axeman> so there's this telephone pol down the street
2008-04-20 14:21 < Axeman> and it
2008-04-20 14:21 < Axeman> it's got a fusebox, or whatever, and it's this big gray metal box
2008-04-20 14:21 < student> hi
2008-04-20 14:21 < student> byt
2008-04-20 14:21 < student> bye
2008-04-20 14:21 < Axeman> anyway, some punk decided he was going to write "ELYA" on it in hueg pink paintletters a couple years ago
2008-04-20 14:22 < Axeman> and I've finally gotten sick of seing "ELYA" every time I drive to or from my house
2008-04-20 14:22 < Axeman> so yeah.
2008-04-20 14:22 < quanticle> MessedRocker: No. I haven't played the third Metroid Prime.
2008-04-20 14:22 < lunakeet> ¡Hola! Cómo estáis
2008-04-20 14:23 < lunakeet> Estoy muy bien
2008-04-20 14:23 < quanticle> lunakeet: No hablo espanol
2008-04-20 14:23 < Axeman> Earth: the free planet that anyone can build stuff on
2008-04-20 14:23 < lunakeet> Ah. OK. I said- how are you all?
2008-04-20 14:23 < quanticle> Axeman: Land isn't free.
2008-04-20 14:23 < lunakeet> Well said axeman
2008-04-20 14:23 < Axeman> and it *should* be as easy as bringing some industrial degreaser and a rag
2008-04-20 14:23 < Axeman> but of course I have a putty knife if it refuses to come off
2008-04-20 14:23 < Axeman> well.
2008-04-20 14:23 < Axeman> I'm off.
2008-04-20 14:23 < lunakeet> Anyone like Doctor Who?
2008-04-20 14:24 < quanticle> lunakeet: Who *doesn't* like Doctor Who?
2008-04-20 14:24 < lunakeet> *waits* You can knit a Dalek. http://www.entropyhouse.com/penwiper/who/extermaknit.html

2008-04-20 14:24 < lunakeet> People I knoe
2008-04-20 14:24 < lunakeet> Know. They have no clue.
2008-04-20 14:25 < quanticle> That's cool. One of my friends knows how to knit. Maybe I'll send the pattern to her to see if she's interested.
2008-04-20 14:25 < lunakeet> Did you watch Voyage of the Damned on SciFi Friday?
2008-04-20 14:25 < lunakeet> It's a hard pattern
2008-04-20 14:26 < lunakeet> I watched Sarah Jane then Voyage
2008-04-20 14:26 < lunakeet> And I'm not a Tennant fangirl
2008-04-20 14:26 < lunakeet> Not at all

2008-04-20 14:52 < Wuju> you are ignorant.
2008-04-20 14:52 < Lycurgus> I thought there was a vicious Stalinist regime which had reverted the PRC to capitalism.
2008-04-20 14:52 < Lycurgus> no, huh?
2008-04-20 14:52 < Wuju> I swear, people who do not know china are compared to trailer trash.
