2008-05-01 16:17 < MZMcBride> Ceiling_Cat: Besides [[Jenna Jameson]], are there any other featured articles that have specifically avoided for the Main Page?
2008-05-01 16:17 < Ceiling_Cat> MZMcBride - off the top of my head, no
2008-05-01 16:17 < Working_Cat> Lycurgus: agreed, but a year before is TMI for most humans... white noise.

2008-05-01 16:18 < The359> why is Jenna Jameson not allowed on the Main Page?
2008-05-01 16:18 < Working_Cat> anyone whos 20-30 would have had her as #1 in [[List of people wanked over - by frequency]]
2008-05-01 16:18 < Working_Cat> or atleast in the top 5
2008-05-01 16:19 * The359 is 20-30 and finds her ugly
2008-05-01 16:19 < Working_Cat> though i didnt really like her THAT much
2008-05-01 16:19 * ThePolecat is 20-30 and finds her not ugly but wholly uninteresting
2008-05-01 16:19 < ThePolecat> (physically)

2008-05-01 17:20 < Working_Cat> <german war joke suppressed>
2008-05-01 17:21 * TheWeaselEsq never participated in any war
2008-05-01 17:21 * TheWeaselEsq was unfit for service
2008-05-01 17:21 < TheWeaselEsq> or I might well have landed in Afghanistan back in the days

2008-05-01 17:21 < Working_Cat> theres a word for it. "weasel"
2008-05-01 17:21 < TheWeaselEsq> No, "gimp" in this case.
2008-05-01 17:22 < Working_Cat> TheWeaselEsq: were you born in the East or West Germany
2008-05-01 17:22 < TheWeaselEsq> West.

2008-05-01 17:22 < TheWeaselEsq> Yup.

2008-05-01 17:24 * Working_Cat will bring true the visions of 1984
2008-05-01 17:24 < Working_Cat> and im not talking about the Apple
2008-05-01 17:25 < Lubaf> One of these days, I'm going to put on some user's talk page, under the heading "Not being lame...": "UR DOIN IT RONG"
2008-05-01 17:26 < WBOSITG> Witches Buy Oranges Stopping Iguanas Tempers Gathering

2008-05-01 17:27 < TheWeaselEsq> Why bother ordering such idiotic toad glands?
2008-05-01 17:27 < Working_Cat> i think i got that from some really stupid Kia ad.... it went ki-Ki-Ki-Ki-Kia
2008-05-01 17:27 < Ral315> Working_Cat, that's for Chia Pet, I think.
2008-05-01 17:27 < Ral315> Ch-ch-ch-Chia

2008-05-01 17:28 < Working_Cat> lol i just tune it all out as noise :P
2008-05-01 17:28 < Ral315> With barely organic strawberries, I taste goodness
2008-05-01 17:29 < TheWeaselEsq> Waving both orifices, so I trundled gallantly.
2008-05-01 17:29 < TheWeaselEsq> or "Waving both organs, she is torpedoing gala."
2008-05-01 17:30 < WBOSITG> lol
2008-05-01 17:30 < Working_Cat> <titanic joke suppressed.... on account of being lame>
2008-05-01 17:31 < TheWeaselEsq> it seems to be redneck slang to follow "on account of" with a main phrase
2008-05-01 17:31 < TheWeaselEsq> such as "on account of the weather is so bad"
2008-05-01 17:32 < Demi> you want to get your redneck usage right
2008-05-01 17:32 * Working_Cat smacks TheWeaselEsq ... im an Indian... but not the red kinds
2008-05-01 17:32 < Demi> what would you sound like if you talked any old way?
2008-05-01 17:32 < TheWeaselEsq> I know that, you used it correctly.
2008-05-01 17:33 < TheWeaselEsq> I my language use would be stinkin' like a raccoon's bottom.
2008-05-01 17:33 < TheWeaselEsq> -I
2008-05-01 17:33 < Working_Cat> >_<
2008-05-01 17:33 < Working_Cat> you guys dish out disturbing metaphors
2008-05-01 17:33 < Working_Cat> though this one was a similie
2008-05-01 17:35 < TheWeaselEsq> "...he couldn't pour rain out of a boot with a hole in the toe and directions on the heel."
2008-05-01 17:35 < Working_Cat> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simile#Stereotypes <--- lolzors
2008-05-01 17:35 < Working_Cat> TheWeaselEsq: thats awesome. whered u get it from
2008-05-01 17:36 < TheWeaselEsq> it's a fairly common American metaphor afaik.
2008-05-01 17:36 < Working_Cat> example of a similie on wiki0en "as humorless as a German"
2008-05-01 17:36 < Working_Cat> and i did not just add it
2008-05-01 17:37 < TheWeaselEsq> Germans have a couple types of humor, but none is very compatible with the rest of the world.
2008-05-01 17:37 < Working_Cat> the winner "as subtle as a sledgehammer"
2008-05-01 17:37 < Working_Cat> TheWeaselEsq: the cruel type and whats the other one?
2008-05-01 17:37 < TheWeaselEsq> the very cruel type.
2008-05-01 17:37 < Working_Cat> ahh
2008-05-01 17:38 < NoPegs> scatological.
2008-05-01 17:38 < Working_Cat> "as gorgeous as an anorexic supermodel"
2008-05-01 17:38 < Working_Cat> NoPegs: thats called toilet humor. and thats canadians forte
2008-05-01 17:38 < Working_Cat> (according to southPark)
2008-05-01 17:39 < NoPegs> true...
2008-05-01 17:39 < TheWeaselEsq> I would say it's South Park's forte, rather.
2008-05-01 17:39 < Demi> hehe
2008-05-01 17:40 < NoPegs> ren and stimpy was the original cartoon running theme on poop humor IMHO... South Park is the imitator...
2008-05-01 17:40 < Working_Cat> NoPegs: no i meant the references within SP. canadians are shown to have that kind of humor
2008-05-01 17:41 < Working_Cat> NoPegs, TheWeaselEsq : it was supposed to be a joke
2008-05-01 17:41 < Working_Cat> neither of you got the humor :S
2008-05-01 17:42 < TheWeaselEsq> whats Indian humor?
2008-05-01 17:42 < Working_Cat> lemme recall...
2008-05-01 17:42 < Working_Cat> racist jokes...
2008-05-01 17:42 < TheWeaselEsq> oh, lovely.
2008-05-01 17:42 < Working_Cat> indians are a lot more open to racist jokes, even if they bust their own chops
2008-05-01 17:43 < nsh> damn
2008-05-01 17:43 < nsh> some chops would be tasty right now
2008-05-01 17:43 < TheWeaselEsq> Germans like to make Germany jokes.
2008-05-01 17:43 < Working_Cat> a reason for that being that india being so diverse, you always find something to make fun of in others
2008-05-01 17:43 < Working_Cat> TheWeaselEsq: like "Hitler was ELECTED.... rofl... omgwtf... lol"
2008-05-01 17:45 < TheWeaselEsq> Well, mostly the stereotypes that are mostly true.
2008-05-01 17:45 < Working_Cat> TheWeaselEsq: theres also sienfeld and talkshow type humor popular on tv. though i havent seen anything close to seinfeld on indian tv
2008-05-01 17:45 < TheWeaselEsq> there's very little funny TV in Germany nowadays.
2008-05-01 17:46 < TheWeaselEsq> mostly because freedom of speech is not as strong here as in the US
2008-05-01 17:46 < TheWeaselEsq> and someone is always offended.
2008-05-01 17:46 < Working_Cat> TheWeaselEsq: the most common kind of jokes i heard were "a hindu, a christian and a muslim walk into a train/aircraft/bus/flood/earthquake/space"
2008-05-01 17:47 < TheWeaselEsq> oh, yea.
2008-05-01 17:47 < NoPegs> So a seal walks into a club...
2008-05-01 17:47 < TheWeaselEsq> although Christian majority parts become rare, the northeastern hills maybe
2008-05-01 17:47 < Working_Cat> that and "an indian, pakistani, japanese/brit/yank/german walk into <as mentioned earlier>"
2008-05-01 17:47 < TheWeaselEsq> here it's more about people
2008-05-01 17:47 < Working_Cat> NoPegs: lol
2008-05-01 17:48 < TheWeaselEsq> Khrushchev, Kennedy and the Queen
2008-05-01 17:48 < TheWeaselEsq> or something
2008-05-01 17:48 < TheWeaselEsq> or Bush Chirac and Putin
2008-05-01 17:48 < NoPegs> but youonly have two bullets?
2008-05-01 17:48 < Working_Cat> ohh yeah! we have those kind too.
2008-05-01 17:48 < Working_Cat> but i havent heard a lot of mainstream bush/blair/putin jokes in india
2008-05-01 17:49 < Demi> TheWeaselEsq - is the german office still on?
2008-05-01 17:49 < TheWeaselEsq> I think it is.
2008-05-01 17:49 < Demi> how about reruns of hogan's heroes, how does that fly?
2008-05-01 17:49 < TheWeaselEsq> It has something of a cult following.
2008-05-01 17:49 < Working_Cat> mostly ones aimed at old and new indian and pakistani politicians
2008-05-01 17:49 * Working_Cat huggles gurch
2008-05-01 17:49 < gurch> eww
2008-05-01 17:49 < Working_Cat> and theres jokes on sports people
2008-05-01 17:50 < gurch> protip: don't GIS "anime" with safesearch disabled
2008-05-01 17:50 < Working_Cat> gurch: then why would one search for anime AT ALL
2008-05-01 17:50 < Demi> TheWeaselEsq - are the restrictions actual legal restrictions, or is it just that social pressures keep such shows from being popular?
2008-05-01 17:50 < TheWeaselEsq> like the old joke "there's been a race between Kennedy and Khrushchev around the Red Square. Next day Pravda writes: "Tovarishch Krushchev came in an honorable second. Kennedy was second-to-last."
2008-05-01 17:51 < Working_Cat> haha
2008-05-01 17:51 < TheWeaselEsq> Well, there are no objections to the Office category
2008-05-01 17:51 < Working_Cat> OHHH YEAH... we have our equivalents of blonde jokes
2008-05-01 17:51 < TheWeaselEsq> The problem starts with political humor and that "commenting on dumb TV moments" stuff
2008-05-01 17:52 * Working_Cat slaps the forehead... how could i forget THOSE
2008-05-01 17:52 < TheWeaselEsq> we have Vauxhall Manta jokes
2008-05-01 17:52 < Demi> no brilliant sketch comedy based on who's fat or makes verbal gaffes?
2008-05-01 17:52 < TheWeaselEsq> very limited
2008-05-01 17:52 < Working_Cat> TheWeaselEsq: we have people here who are supposed to lose all intelligence after 12.
2008-05-01 17:53 < Working_Cat> and often they are portrayed as having no intelligence at all
2008-05-01 17:53 < TheWeaselEsq> there's also jokes about places in Germany, especially [[East Frisia]]
2008-05-01 17:53 < TheWeaselEsq> and [[Hannover]]
2008-05-01 17:54 < TheWeaselEsq> and of course the Usenet running gag [[Bielefeld conspiracy]]
2008-05-01 17:54 * TheWeaselEsq hates the drink he made
2008-05-01 17:54 < TheWeaselEsq> Aquavit and coke don't go together, kids.
2008-05-01 17:55 * TheWeaselEsq makes a mental note never to buy different liquor next time he hits IKEA
2008-05-01 17:55 < TheWeaselEsq> -never
2008-05-01 17:57 < TheWeaselEsq> And not to drink liquor before going to IKEA, so that I may not literally "hit" it.
2008-05-01 17:58 < TheWeaselEsq> brah, this thing is a biological warfare agent.
2008-05-01 17:59 < Working_Cat> lol
2008-05-01 18:00 * TheWeaselEsq wonders where Asia Maior is
2008-05-01 18:01 < Demi> i don't like aquavit in any context
2008-05-01 18:01 < TheWeaselEsq> It's good in some, not in long drinks though

2008-05-01 18:05 < Golbez> [[wp:post]]
2008-05-01 18:05 < TheWeaselEsq> For some reason I always assumed it was a chat name of one of the WP big shots
2008-05-01 18:05 < Sfan00> Oh :(
2008-05-01 18:05 < TheWeaselEsq> so I don't know her/him at all
2008-05-01 18:05 < TheWeaselEsq> (it seems)
2008-05-01 18:05 < Sfan00> Editor-at-Large isn't that big... but seemingly a bit dormant at present
2008-05-01 18:05 < TheWeaselEsq> oh, okay.
2008-05-01 18:05 < Sfan00> Weasel: Do you recall anyone else from the Wiki_Radio thingy?

2008-05-01 18:07 < Sfan00> TheWeselEsq: #Wikimedia-radio
2008-05-01 18:07 * TheWeaselEsq was involved very marginally then, and it's been more than 18 months certainly
2008-05-01 18:08 < Sfan00> I was trying to track down Editor-at-Large because she also expressed interest at the time
2008-05-01 18:09 < TheWeaselEsq> good luck

2008-05-01 18:11 < TheWeaselEsq> Oh, it has.
2008-05-01 18:11 < Sfan00> I'd like to announce the meta proposal in de - but need a translator... ;)
2008-05-01 18:11 < TheWeaselEsq> Brb.

2008-05-01 18:35 < Sfan00> TheWeasel : :)

2008-05-01 18:40 < TheWeaselEsq> no, that's Ceiling Cat.
2008-05-01 18:41 < Demi> big brother is monitoring software
2008-05-01 18:42 < Sfan00> Demi: According to some people Big borther and Little Sister are in leauge
2008-05-01 18:43 < TheWeaselEsq> Oh, Big Brother probably hates Emanuel Goldstein because he ran away with Janelle
2008-05-01 18:43 < Mike_H> TheWeaselEsq: Big Brother is not a fan of bleached blonde hair and fake boobs.
2008-05-01 18:43 < Mike_H> He likes his ladies more natural.

2008-05-01 18:54 * Demi blocks the offending phone number
2008-05-01 18:54 < bumm13> the Stones didn't get psychedelia ;)
2008-05-01 18:54 < TheWeaselEsq> there's a hint of it in Paint It Black, but only a hint.
2008-05-01 18:55 < bumm13> "She's A Rainbow" doesn't sound that great
2008-05-01 18:55 < bumm13> right
2008-05-01 18:55 < TheWeaselEsq> Non-annoying psychedelia is rare anyway, imho
2008-05-01 18:55 < Mike_H> Demi: Did you meet him on the main line
2008-05-01 18:55 < Mike_H> or will you catch him on the rebound?
2008-05-01 18:55 < bumm13> TheWeasel: example of annoying?
2008-05-01 18:56 < bumm13> I know if I listen to "Time Has Come Today" by the Chambers Brothers too much, I start to get annoyed ;)
2008-05-01 18:56 < bumm13> even though it is a good song
2008-05-01 18:56 < Demi> i will not catch him on the rebound, i will not let him make a sound, i have blocked his number, blocked it all, i do not like those hang-up calls!
2008-05-01 18:56 < TheWeaselEsq> uh, Tomorrow Never Knows
2008-05-01 18:56 < bumm13> I forget who sings that
2008-05-01 18:56 < TheWeaselEsq> And this #9 crap Lennon did
2008-05-01 18:56 < bumm13> oh gawd
2008-05-01 18:56 < TheWeaselEsq> (all Beatles)
2008-05-01 18:57 < Demi> vanilla fudge's version of season of the witch is pretty good
2008-05-01 18:57 < bumm13> Revolution 9 is horrid
2008-05-01 18:57 < Mike_H> Demi: Was it something that he said?
2008-05-01 18:57 < TheWeaselEsq> I love Jefferson Airplane
2008-05-01 18:57 < Mike_H> All the voices in your head
2008-05-01 18:57 < Mike_H> calling Gloriaaaa
2008-05-01 18:57 < bumm13> I've not listened to much Jefferson Airplane besides their two big hits from 1967
2008-05-01 18:57 < bumm13> I have listened to "Volunteers", but that's not so psychedelic
2008-05-01 18:57 < TheWeaselEsq> Well, the album is good. Nothing past that point.
2008-05-01 18:58 < bumm13> they do have a debut album from 1966
2008-05-01 18:58 * Mike_H dances to Gloria
2008-05-01 18:58 < Demi> my mother's voice always reminded me of grace slick
2008-05-01 18:58 < Demi> or possibly the other way around
2008-05-01 18:58 < bumm13> heh
2008-05-01 18:59 < bumm13> she sure sold out bad :-p
2008-05-01 18:59 < bumm13> (Slick)
2008-05-01 18:59 < Mike_H> Demi: The model?
2008-05-01 18:59 < Mike_H> No, that's Grace Jones
2008-05-01 18:59 < Mike_H> I'm dumb
2008-05-01 18:59 < bumm13> very disco of you, Mike ;)
2008-05-01 18:59 < Mike_H> I always get Grace Slick and Grace Jones mixed up
2008-05-01 18:59 < Mike_H> they're not even the same race
2008-05-01 18:59 < bumm13> for 80s purposes, it'd be Starship
2008-05-01 19:00 < Demi> there was a time in the 80s when everyone was unaccountably attracted to grace jones, even me
2008-05-01 19:00 < TheWeaselEsq> Brr.
2008-05-01 19:00 < bumm13> Jefferson Starship had "Miracles" chart well in 1975, but that is Marty Balin doing lead vocals
2008-05-01 19:00 < Mike_H> Demi: Your bar was kind of low, though. I mean, Markie Post? Dinah Manoff?
2008-05-01 19:00 < TheWeaselEsq> well, coldness seemed sophisticated
2008-05-01 19:00 < Demi> i like to think my bar was "quirky"
2008-05-01 19:00 < TheWeaselEsq> in the 80s
2008-05-01 19:00 < Mike_H> Demi: Quirky, huh?
2008-05-01 19:00 < Demi> TheWeaselEsq - yeah, possibly i have a thing for cold women, too
2008-05-01 19:00 < Mike_H> Then why aren't you gushing about Mindy Cohn?
2008-05-01 19:01 < TheWeaselEsq> Jefferson Starship committed the crime of "We Built This City"
2008-05-01 19:01 < Demi> i *like* mindy cohn
2008-05-01 19:01 < bumm13> heh
2008-05-01 19:01 < Demi> she's a little whiny
2008-05-01 19:01 < bumm13> TheWeasel: just Starship
2008-05-01 19:01 < Mike_H> Demi: She's Jewish
2008-05-01 19:01 < Demi> my big hottie from the period was Jane Badler, who played the evil lizard-woman in the V mini-series
2008-05-01 19:01 < Mike_H> okay, there was no brain to fingers filter just now
2008-05-01 19:01 < Demi> Mike_H - i have a thing for jewish girls
2008-05-01 19:01 < Demi> there was a fat jewish girl at university that i had a huge, pathetic crush on
2008-05-01 19:01 < Mike_H> Demi: Who else was popular back then who was Jewish
2008-05-01 19:02 < bumm13> Demi's an admitted chubby chaser ;)
2008-05-01 19:02 < Demi> not exclusively
2008-05-01 19:02 < Mike_H> Dinah Manoff
2008-05-01 19:02 < bumm13> popular? hmm...
2008-05-01 19:02 < bumm13> the gal who played Carla on Cheers is Jewish
2008-05-01 19:02 < Mike_H> oh, true.
2008-05-01 19:02 < Demi> Mike_H - plenty, i'm sure, they just weren't wearing the star (oops, that's pretty bad)
2008-05-01 19:02 < Mike_H> bumm13: she played an Italian
2008-05-01 19:02 < Mike_H> and later married one.
2008-05-01 19:02 < bumm13> (Rhea Pearlman)
2008-05-01 19:02 < bumm13> she did :)
2008-05-01 19:03 < bumm13> you know what's weird? I once imagined that she could be married to Danny DeVito
2008-05-01 19:03 < Mike_H> bumm13: and then it happened, lol
2008-05-01 19:03 < bumm13> then I found out she actually was
2008-05-01 19:03 < bumm13> :)
2008-05-01 19:03 < Demi> creepy
2008-05-01 19:03 < bumm13> yeah
2008-05-01 19:03 < Mike_H> Okay, Jewish chicks who were popular in the '80s
2008-05-01 19:03 < Mike_H> wasn't Debbie Gibson Jewish
2008-05-01 19:03 < bumm13> no clue
2008-05-01 19:04 < Mike_H> I think Pamela Bellwood was Jewish
2008-05-01 19:04 < Mike_H> Pamela Bellwood (born as Pamela King, June 26, 1951, New York City[1]) is an actress most famous for her role as Claudia Blaisdel Carrington on the primetime soap opera, Dynasty.
2008-05-01 19:05 < Mike_H> Demi: Oh, Alla Korot was Jewish
2008-05-01 19:05 < Mike_H> she was on Another World
2008-05-01 19:05 < Mike_H> she was pretty
2008-05-01 19:05 * TheWeaselEsq is NP: Beatles - I Want To Tell You (1966)

2008-05-01 19:06 < Mike_H> bumm13: she was on the cover of TV Guide
2008-05-01 19:06 < Mike_H> (well, TV Guide Canada) :o
2008-05-01 19:06 < Mike_H> http://www.igs.net/~awhp/tvg91.jpg

2008-05-01 19:06 < Mike_H> November 16, 1991
2008-05-01 19:07 < Mike_H> bumm13: Alla Korot was really pretty but she had the most painful voice and her character was the kind you'd totally hit with a steam shovel and not feel bad about it
2008-05-01 19:09 < TheWeaselEsq> That's some Whooping Fantasy Extravaganza right there
2008-05-01 19:26 < donald_duck> is there a template to lock a page when doing a rewrite??????????????????????????????????????/

2008-05-01 19:27 < Lubaf> One of these days, I'm going to put on some user's talk page, under the heading "Not being lame...": "UR DOIN IT RONG"
2008-05-01 19:44 < flyingpcp> so, in the hypothetical scenario portrayed in the movie "The Matrix" were true, and only the admins at Wikipedia knew about it, they would be prohibited by the guidelines to use the site as a vehicle to get the word out about the horrid injustice to humanity?
2008-05-01 19:45 < flyingpcp> in=if
2008-05-01 19:48 < Gracenotes> well, they might, but people would probably think it was vandalism.
2008-05-01 19:48 < nsh> oh noes
2008-05-01 19:48 < nsh> computer, belay that noes
2008-05-01 19:48 < nsh> lighter located
2008-05-01 19:50 < Messedrocker> OpEnBoKe9003
2008-05-01 19:57 < flyingpcp> i'm always amazed at these channels with hundreds of people and nobody saying anything
2008-05-01 19:57 < bbot> shh
2008-05-01 19:57 < bbot> I'm trying to idle, here.
2008-05-01 19:58 * TheWeaselEsq is summarily drunk
2008-05-01 19:58 < TheWeaselEsq> so I have few forms of expression available at this time
2008-05-01 19:59 < flyingpcp> how many years do you have to go to school before you learn to use proper grammar while sloshed
2008-05-01 19:59 * nsh tends to develop new forms of expression when drunk
2008-05-01 19:59 < nsh> not all are successful at communicating the intended messages
2008-05-01 20:00 < TheWeaselEsq> I amn't, myself.
2008-05-01 20:00 < TheWeaselEsq> I'm not quite in the state that frequently makes you say "did I just say that or only think it?"
2008-05-01 20:01 < TheWeaselEsq> and it's easier on the internet cause you have it written for verification
2008-05-01 20:01 < nsh> for example the observation, "clothes aren't a good look for you" does not necessarily convey witty compliments of anatomical desireability
2008-05-01 20:02 < TheWeaselEsq> oh, yea, terrible pick-up lines
2008-05-01 20:02 < flyingpcp> not sure that summarily works as a modifier for drunk, though
2008-05-01 20:03 < TheWeaselEsq> I noticed that
2008-05-01 20:03 < TheWeaselEsq> It might work if the verb is "got"
2008-05-01 20:03 < flyingpcp> so i take it the mods never come in here like all "HEY! are you working to improve wikipedia in here? or are you SLACKIN' "
2008-05-01 20:03 < TheWeaselEsq> as in, quickly, without much social interaction in between
2008-05-01 20:04 < TheWeaselEsq> no, off-topic talk is frequent and accepted within reasonable limits
2008-05-01 20:04 < Looooooooong_Cat> You mean
2008-05-01 20:04 < Looooooooong_Cat> when Ceiling_Cat is here
2008-05-01 20:04 < Looooooooong_Cat> rofl
2008-05-01 20:05 < TheWeaselEsq> no, when the topic is The Law And How To Be Very Afraid Of It
2008-05-01 20:06 < Looooooooong_Cat> o rly
2008-05-01 20:09 * TheWeaselEsq shall bbl maybe
2008-05-01 20:12 < Zach> Messedrocker: what's the status on the press badge?
2008-05-01 20:13 < Kraps> Hello32020: yo

2008-05-01 20:13 < Zach> no, i was just curious
2008-05-01 20:14 < Messedrocker> i still haven't found my laminate

2008-05-01 20:30 < denelson83> Although one of the metronomes isn't set properly

2008-05-01 20:34 < Filll> hello
2008-05-01 20:34 < Looooooooong_Cat> hi
2008-05-01 20:35 < Filll> I wondered if someone could tell me what the address is for the Not The Wikipedia Weekly IRC channel
2008-05-01 20:35 < Lucifer_Cat> Looooooooong_Cat
2008-05-01 20:35 < Lucifer_Cat> Filll: #wikipedia
2008-05-01 20:35 < Filll> isnt there a special channel?
2008-05-01 20:35 < Looooooooong_Cat> Lucifer_Cat, fill #Wikipedia with what?
2008-05-01 20:36 < Filll> There is a project called Not The Wikipedia Weekly
2008-05-01 20:36 < Lucifer_Cat> Looooooooong_Cat: duh, MOAR KATZ!!
2008-05-01 20:36 < Filll> we do podcasts
2008-05-01 20:36 < Lucifer_Cat> Filll: i am aware of that.
2008-05-01 20:36 < denelson83> NotWikWeek, eh?
2008-05-01 20:36 < Filll> i think it has a special IRC channel
2008-05-01 20:36 < Lucifer_Cat> usually they post the link to the chan here when its about to start
2008-05-01 20:36 < Filll> i wanted the address so I could link it on the article pages
2008-05-01 20:37 < Lucifer_Cat> ask privatemusings
2008-05-01 20:37 < Lucifer_Cat> or FastLizard4
2008-05-01 20:37 < Filll> yes I guess that is my option
2008-05-01 20:37 < Filll> although I do not think privatemusings did it
2008-05-01 20:37 < Filll> it might have been Kim Bruning
2008-05-01 20:37 < Filll> I forget who set it up
2008-05-01 20:37 < Lucifer_Cat> Ceiling_Cat and Messedrocker also attended iirc
2008-05-01 20:40 < Filll> hey private musings
2008-05-01 20:40 < Filll> did you listen to episode 10?
2008-05-01 20:41 < privatemusings> sure did....
2008-05-01 20:41 < Filll> is it ok?
2008-05-01 20:41 < privatemusings> even my little bit at the end!
2008-05-01 20:41 < privatemusings> not very good at the start...
2008-05-01 20:41 < Filll> did I get them in order?
2008-05-01 20:41 < Filll> yes Finkelstein was a bit flaky sounding
2008-05-01 20:41 < privatemusings> but gets better... and sounds like one small bit missing at one join maybe?
2008-05-01 20:42 < Filll> and at the end he started to rant and rave like a nut
2008-05-01 20:42 < privatemusings> nah - not really - that's just his turn of phrase...
2008-05-01 20:42 < Filll> we missed bits at each of the 4 joins
2008-05-01 20:42 < privatemusings> I quite like it actually!
2008-05-01 20:42 < Filll> So you didnt hear any repeats or bad mistakes?
2008-05-01 20:42 < Filll> good
2008-05-01 20:42 < privatemusings> I think seth's got great perspective on some of the issues....
2008-05-01 20:42 < privatemusings> and the chat inspired me to dive back in at the opt out proposal page.....
2008-05-01 20:42 < Filll> We need someone like that to say outrageous things
2008-05-01 20:43 < Filll> otherwise we will not have much listenership
2008-05-01 20:43 < Messedrocker> let's invite mr. brandt
2008-05-01 20:43 < Filll> I did a check on Episode 9: we had 522 visit the ogg page
2008-05-01 20:43 < privatemusings> ah we shouldn't worry about listeners just yet......
2008-05-01 20:43 < TheWeaselEsq> "This can be helpful in crowded harbours or when stowing the jib in strong wind conditions.[who?]"
2008-05-01 20:43 < TheWeaselEsq> lol about the tag
2008-05-01 20:43 < privatemusings> g'day messedrocker, by the way!
2008-05-01 20:43 < Filll> Brandt? invite him where?
2008-05-01 20:43 < Messedrocker> to NTWW
2008-05-01 20:44 < Filll> If we had him
2008-05-01 20:44 < Filll> we would have to take security precautions
2008-05-01 20:44 < Messedrocker> how?
2008-05-01 20:44 < Messedrocker> what's so insecure about a telephone?
2008-05-01 20:44 < Filll> We would invite him to the conference call ...not through skype
2008-05-01 20:44 < Filll> let him use his telephone
2008-05-01 20:44 < Filll> not skype
2008-05-01 20:45 < Filll> if we invite him to use skype
2008-05-01 20:45 < Messedrocker> that's what i was thinking too
2008-05-01 20:45 < Filll> he will attack us with it
2008-05-01 20:45 < Messedrocker> how do you attack someone through skype?
2008-05-01 20:45 < Filll> haha
2008-05-01 20:45 < Filll> I wont tell you in this channel
2008-05-01 20:45 * TheWeaselEsq listens to Edie Brickell
2008-05-01 20:46 < Filll> just take it from me...it is not safe to talk to someone like brandt there
2008-05-01 20:46 < Messedrocker> is there an exploit in skype that'll allow him to send an ICBM to my house?
