Tiny Dr. Tim
<Firefried> hey cease!!
<CathrWill> And 3+ years living in socal has thinned my blood.
<lowlandr> damn keyboard
<CathrWill> Damn submissive squirrels.
<cease> youre from east coast, right bill?
<klokwkdog> Yeah, I used to work in Albany, Cath; have a picture of
myself
standing under the Mohawk River bridge on the Northway
<CathrWill> I like it here in the summer.
<FreqMan> more winters like this in Dallas Texas... and my new england
blood is gonna thin out to vapor...
<cease> san diego?
<CathrWill> Sandy Eggo, cat.
<klokwkdog> until today, Freq, it would have thinned IN New England, too
<CathrWill> Actually Carlsbad, about 20 miles north.
<klokwkdog> I used to live in Colonie
<cease> isnt cal basically all suburbs now? at least on the coast
<Nin0> Boy, you northerners would laugh at us here in Charlotte, NC. A
little dust of snow and all the schools close and the stores run out of
bread and milk. Sheesh!!
<CathrWill> Thats where I am right now, klok -- Wolf Road.
<cease> japans like that too, only cals are a lot nicer
<FreqMan> were having 70 degree days... and I miss wind-chill and
snow...
I miss feeling my nostrils freeze when I inhale...
<klokwkdog> Cat and his henchmen bent the jet stream: it now goes all
the
way up to the Pole and then comes back down on my house, feels like
<cease> me and santa
<Nin0> nice partnership, cat
<cease> stick it up your ass and call it the boom dot bust gold course
<CathrWill> Yeah, cat -- I live in a subdivision, but its a pretty cool
one. And of course, being SoCal, you never get any shit from neighbors
--
they dont even want to know your name -- I think theres a law about
having to drive at least 30 miles to visit a frien
<lowlandr> ok im off to the foothills of tierra del fuego, for ralph and
all the spoilsports out there in mobilehoma, great snook fishin to ya
<klokwkdog> Yeah, Nino, but I was there in what, 88 or 89 when that ice
storm put, like 3" of ice on the roads? They dont have salt or plows
down there, or didnt
<CathrWill> You dont missit Freq -- you just think you do.
*** lowlandr (dal...@host1-53.prestige.net) has left #firesign
<cease> buy low
<klokwkdog> Its all the Mayor Daley technique of snow removal: the lord
giveth...
<klokwkdog> nite low
<cease> i dont miss being in la
<Nin0> still dont klok. And no-one knows how to drive in it. Sometimes
funny but more scary.
<cease> snow occasionally blocks roads but its better than las blocked
lungs
<FreqMan> i guess id be upset if it were icy down here in Texas too...
grumble grumble...
<klokwkdog> No, Ive been in snow down there and up here: the difference
is that here, they TREAT it so you CAN drive on it
<CathrWill> LA does kind of suck. I wouldnt want to live there but its
OK to visit.
<klokwkdog> LA is near to becoming its own republic, a city-state like
NYC
and Charlotte
<cease> just got our snow tires this week and 2nd day woke up to a flat.
<klokwkdog> or Victoria
<klokwkdog> plug it!
<CathrWill> Califirnia Uber Alles as the Dead Milkmen used to say.
<FreqMan> Yeah... but theres an art to driving on snow and ice... and
down here in Texas... they either drive 5 miles an hour pressing the
brake
every 4 seconds, or they drive 80 miles an hour honking wildly...
<Nin0> Yeah cat, snow tires quench my libido too
<klokwkdog> The only art I ever found was stay the f*ck away from
everyone
else
<CathrWill> How about the Mona Lisa, klok???
<HasNoName> er, Dead Kennedys, CW.
<CathrWill> I stand corrected, HNN.
<FreqMan> I think it was the Dead Kennedies CathrWill...
<cease> Fumiyo thought we could just refill it and slide car down hill
to
mechanics. thankfully bcaa guy talked her out of it
<klokwkdog> refill it?
<FreqMan> theres an echo in here...
<CathrWill> The tire, I think, klok.
<CathrWill> echo in here
<cease> the flat tire
<klokwkdog> oh
<CathrWill> echo in here
<Nin0> We just want to pump <clap> you up!
<FreqMan> tire biter
<cease> under snow and ice lurk many evils
<klokwkdog> LOL
<klokwkdog> so what you did, Cat?
<CathrWill> spy and girl delighter.
<FreqMan> and Doctor Weird...
<cease> put on our spare, or had bcaa guy do it.
<cease> drove to mechanics and he theoreticlaly fixed it
<klokwkdog> oh
<FreqMan> virtual fix a flat
<HasNoName> bcaa? - oh, wouldnt have AAA in Canada...
<cease> yep

<HasNoName> Its simple mathematics...
<kend^> wow, im a newbie at psychiatry, thanks for lesson!
<cease> if it takes oh yes, does it get multiple orgasms?
<kend^> next week: do it yourself brain surgery
<MrMoto> So a multiple personality cannot be a lcd
<kend^> and if we are talking math, substitute "5" for the preceeding
"4"
in that listing
<Nin0> liquid crystal disorder? My calculator has that...
<MrMoto> ah 4 or 5...
<MrMoto> lowest common disorder
<Firefried> One is a multiple of one, idenity
<MrMoto> but if you have no personality... you just cant divide by
zero...
<kend^> i work with people like that, mrmoto
<MrMoto> kend... i wonder what you call that condition

Kingdome

<Firefried> they swing from the three branches of government
<Firefried> dont look up when they are swinging!!
<klokwkdog> The largest private construction project on the east coast
<klokwkdog> is underway in Southeastern Connecticut. Its the massive
$800
million
<klokwkdog> expansion of the Mohegan Sun casino
<kend^> the father, the son, and the holy spook are the 3 branches,

<Firefried> so Ive heard
<FreqMan> Mister Holy Spook... a religious KGB agent... interesting....
<Firefried> The Hillary is coming over the hill and its not a hump.
<kend^> oops, sorry. bless me father, for i have sinned, and sinned, and

<klokwkdog> like that film that Schwartzenegger wanted to make, about a
Good Nazi...
<FreqMan> Well come round the back... roll up your sleeve and bend over
my son...
<Firefried> Unleaded only
<klokwkdog> DOE stops sale of radioactive nickel?
<FreqMan> Training astronauts recently told a German trainee that
"Rommel

<kend^> radioactive nickel? i thought tom jefferson was positively
glowing
last time i looked
<Firefried> Why thats nothing but a radioactive nickel
<FreqMan> oh... 1001 uses for depleted uranium...
<kend^> can you alloy uranium and nickel? theres an interesting thought
<FreqMan> uranickle... pumpernickle... nickelanium...
<kend^> i wanted to pump her nickle, but she told me it was a dime a
stroke
<HasNoName> Freq: German astronauts?
<klokwkdog> its bomb stuff, theyre recycling the nickel
<FreqMan> yes... There are German astronauts too...
<FreqMan> kend^: better than sliced bread
<Firefried> They go off but never come back, isnt it always that way?
<klokwkdog> how we pay them off, seeing as we have no money and are in
debt to eyeballs with worlds biggest trade deficit ever
<Firefried> One big plastic card country.
<kend^> dont leave home without it
<FreqMan> Well... maybe they said, "Ve vill help you vith dat spaze
station... but you vill haff to take Fritz up in dat shuttle"
<klokwkdog> its the old, we owe so much money to the bank, were no
longer a debtor, were a "partner" <G>
<kend^> we cant afford to let you go bankrupt, heres another
billion.........
<FreqMan> Howdy partner... insert your sidekick card...
<klokwkdog> nah, payoff for voting with us on Bosnia, in UN, and kicking
asses in EU to let our Frankenfood in
<Firefried> The befuttle shuttle of international bruhaha
<FreqMan> ha ha ha
<klokwkdog> actually, when oil prices went up, Russia decided this time
they could afford to invade Chechnyia
<klokwkdog> US, Britain had IMF knock on the door and say, hey, you keep
this up, we cut off your air supply.
<FreqMan> Katie on the Today show used the work "Bruhaha"... and it
would
have been great if the guest she was interviewing said ha ha ha
<klokwkdog> Russians said, OK, whatever; BTW, heres about $30 gizillion
we owed you, now bug off, we feel like killing someone
<klokwkdog> which one of the guys was being interviewed?
<FreqMan> No she wasnt interviewing any of our guys...
*** SidFudd (goe...@14-101.015.popsite.net) has joined #firesign
<FreqMan> I just thought it would have been nice to hear a guest quote
from the four or five...
<SidFudd> Hiya kiddos!
<klokwkdog> she was interviewing one of THEIR guys??
<FreqMan> its either us, or them
<klokwkdog> hi their
<FreqMan> who am us
<SidFudd> Im was interviewing big comedy stars wacky! Star in Friday!
Big
comedy!
<Firefried> Hey Sid.
<klokwkdog> so we should write her and ask them why they havent had the
guys on TV lately?
<FreqMan> big letter writing campaign...
<klokwkdog> how big? 48 point Times New Roman?
<SidFudd> Definitely bold, italicized.
<FreqMan> at least... that ought to get their attention
<kend^> those romans are new? i thought they dated to b.c. times
<FreqMan> Bookman then
<klokwkdog> now, ken, you know that here in FST chat, we always use the
PC
"bce", right?
<FreqMan> before the church of england?
<klokwkdog> before current era
<kend^> pc? not this guy
<klokwkdog> keeps the infidel unbelievers happy
<FreqMan> pc is for sissys...
<Firefried> (Katie has PCMS) ??
<SidFudd> Before Clem, Even
<klokwkdog> LOL
<Firefried> or Barnie ??
<FreqMan> Ah... now before Clem I can nod affirmatively to...
<klokwkdog> most of the stuff is AFTER Clem, though
<SidFudd> It surely sparked enough clems
<FreqMan> depends on your pov
<klokwkdog> gad, this wind is going thru my house like a hot car thru LA
peasants on Rodeo Drive
<Firefried> And the news drought continues, but nobody notices in the
big
city..
<klokwkdog> news drought?
<SidFudd> When theres news, theres never enough
<FreqMan> where theres smoke...
<Firefried> a big heaping bowl of it
<klokwkdog> theres combustion...or an atmospheric anomaly
<FreqMan> ah... a star trek word....
<kend^> kwd: you get snow there today?
<SidFudd> "Its an anomaly, Capn", he said, his red shirt twitching
slightly
<klokwkdog> Yeah, we braced for this monster storm, this
breaker-of-droughts, this Walker-on-Earth of blizzards...
<klokwkdog> ...and got 1.75"
<klokwkdog> However, as I accused Cat, the Canadians are sending us most
of the North Pole tonight. Wind chills of -35 by AM light
<FreqMan> in the old days... there was just "facinating" and
"phenomenon"... all that techno-gibberish is irritating... tetrions...
bah...
<kend^> we got about 2-3" last night, but most melted when sun came out
today.
<FreqMan> Ill be lucky if I see +35 here in Texas... I think the
overnight low is going to be over 40...
<SidFudd> Where are you, kend^? Im in Burbank
<klokwkdog> This stuff is being sandblasted against my house by 40-50mph
gusts. 0F forecast for early AM light on Sat
<klokwkdog> sheesh, rub it in, Sid
<SidFudd> Hey, you get cold, I get poison air. Six of one...
<kend^> michigan here, extreme southern part, i can almost spit into
indiana from here
<Firefried> Near Sturgis??
<klokwkdog> going to get out the 2-layer German Army wool pants, the one
with a plastic barrier in between.
<klokwkdog> you got him, fried
<kend^> IN STURGIS!
<klokwkdog> hes trying to make those people shape up
<klokwkdog> moulding them into becoming better
<klokwkdog> into becoming one with Indiana
<Firefried> I was at Klinger Lake as a kid
<klokwkdog> it shows
<SidFudd> I went to Camp Nokopokopokonomopko myself
<klokwkdog> which brand of poison air do you generally use, Sid?
<SidFudd> Chevron
<klokwkdog> with or without MBTE?
<klokwkdog> what is gas out there, $2 or $3/gal?
<SidFudd> Now without, I think--it was outlawed
<kend^> i flew over klinger lake in ford trimotor at our last air show,
was interesting flight
<klokwkdog> you were in trimotor? cool (seriously)
<SidFudd> Gas was $1.50 (Regular Unleaded), now as low as $1.26
<FreqMan> wow... a trimotor
* klokwkdog observes that WE ARE ALL IMPRESSED
<FreqMan> gotta love those right angles!
<Firefried> better than flapping your arms
<kend^> costs $35 for about 20 minutes, and that corrugated skin was
amazing
<klokwkdog> saw long PBS special on Cord (the car guy), fascinating
<klokwkdog> were you alone, or was that rate for a planeful?
<kend^> i have friend that lives on klinger lake, he cant wait for
snow/ice so he can snowmobile on the lake. been way too mild here for
more
than about 1/2" of ice
<kend^> $35 each, they waited until at least 6 people wanted to fly
before
they left ground
<klokwkdog> theres only room for, like, 8, right?
<kend^> auburn/cord/dusenberg museum a few miles from here, in auburn,
indiana, fascinating tour
<kend^> kwd: every seat is aisle AND window, 2 rows of 6 i think. no
"facilities" on board, that limited the length of flights
<SidFudd> Klokwkdog, whats the parameter for making a comment like you
did just now? Ive forgotten
<FreqMan> jerry lewis flew one of those in a movie I saw once...
<klokwkdog> yeah, but he got interested in airplanes, bought an airline,
an engine company, parts companies
<Firefried> do they have porcinis??
<klokwkdog> a slash followed by "me", sid
* SidFudd hopes hes got it down
<kend^> what is porcini? sounds ferrin to me, im an armenian here
* SidFudd cries with glee
<kend^> way to go, sid!
<klokwkdog> looks good. same pattern as with the cars, ken.
* kend^ sings (in a shaky voice) "somewhere, over the rainbow.......
<Firefried> Its an RFO manufacture
<klokwkdog> <G>
<kend^> sorry, sid, didnt even notice that you didnt have "the power"
there
<Firefried> At the end of a rainbow you have your nose in the dirt...
<kend^> and hair in my nose too!
<SidFudd> um... somebody playing with electricity?
<FreqMan> gotta run.... my stoned cat just jumped into my lap...
<kend^> notice that you are now @SidFudd, you are channel operator
<klokwkdog> better than playing with electricity
<klokwkdog> Freq - lay off that nip...
<kend^> night freq
<SidFudd> Ooh!
<SidFudd> Power! It is mine! Who wants to corrupt me?
<kend^> thats "the power" of life and death in mirc channel
<Firefried> Dont Freq, but g-bye
<kend^> sorry, no money here, i cant corrupt anyone
<SidFudd> Form a line
<FreqMan> see you on the newsgroup... and/or next week...
<SidFudd> Cheers, Freq
<kend^> le freq, cest chic
*** FreqMan has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
<klokwkdog> all power corrupts, but we need electricity...
<kend^> im a.c. myself, but d.c. has its uses i guess
<klokwkdog> tom edison used to electrocute dogs to demonstrate how
dangerous a.c. was
<kend^> oops, fine me, misuse of "its" there, should have been "its"
<kend^> dc can kill, too
<Firefried> and time wounds all heels.
<klokwkdog> not if you were tom edison
<kend^> fla (my home state) just passed lethal injection as substitute
for
"old sparky"
<klokwkdog> he just didnt get it, tesla and westinghous had him nailed
<SidFudd> You can be sure if its Westinghouse
<kend^> they got tired of publicity from exploding eyeballs and burning
bodies
<klokwkdog> right - a more humane way to execute someone
<Firefried> Did someone say McDonalds??
* SidFudd begins to rhumba
<kend^> but, must use sterile hypodermic, wouldnt want the corpse to be
infected
* kend^ competes, lets form conga line
<klokwkdog> I liked the woman they executed - had a diet salad with her
last meal
<Firefried> Go ahead and jump of the cliff,.. Ill watch.
<kend^> stoopid! i would have had prime rib, lobster, lots of bleu
cheese,
etc. whos to care except the pallbearers?
<klokwkdog> they just played a commercial for a relief agency providing
food for starving Iraqi children. yall getting those elsewhere?
<kend^> i havent seen them, but then i always see pics of sadaam, he
hasnt missed many meals lately
<SidFudd> No, just emails telling me to visit a site where even if you
just click, without giving any personal details, someone somewhere gives
relief money to the U.N.
<SidFudd> No followups saying its a scam, so perhaps its legit
<kend^> sid, i get those in almost every email i get. i havent done it,
probably should
<klokwkdog> there are a couple of sites like that
<kend^> charity begins at the keyboard
<klokwkdog> but this is a 30 sec spot running on TV here in RI
<klokwkdog> http://www.thehungersite.com/
<SidFudd> Havent seen that spot here, no... but I dont watch anything
but Powerpuff Girls and Space Ghost Coast to Coast
<kend^> i have sympathy for victims of sadaam, but not for him. i say
lets off him once and for all
<SidFudd> Difficult proposition
<kend^> space ghost? i know him! at least the voice, george lowe, worked
with him at am radio station in florida before he made it big
<klokwkdog> its pretty clear, after 10 years, that US policy is to keep
him in place, contained
<kend^> no balls in us govt.
<SidFudd> Wow, you worked with George Lowe... cool
<kend^> i taught him to be radio announcer, now hes making the big
bucks,
im low paid accountant
<klokwkdog> it seems to be more than that, some calculus that we need to
restrain Iran and the Kurds, too, and Syria
<kend^> but, im happy (most of the time anyway)
<kend^> nuke em, let pakistan worry about the fallout
* SidFudd visualizes Space Ghost taking on Saddam
<kend^> is that like the old "batman v superman" fantasy?
* SidFudd realizes hed probably just ignore him
<Firefried> The Tick would do a better job of it.
<SidFudd> SPOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
<klokwkdog> oh, they play and play - saddam is results of us trying to
"contain" Iran, etc. They can never get all the worms back into the
same
size can
<kend^> yeah, bite him, give him lyme disease
<SidFudd> Or a slow-acting poison, like they gave to Castro
<klokwkdog> one of the slowest actors there is
<SidFudd> ...verrrrrrrry slow
<kend^> yeah, that stuff with castro works well, hes what, 75 now?
<Firefried> Isnt that brain damge??
<klokwkdog> yeah, but hes never gone back to Hollywood
<kend^> bbc on radio, g.e. rice will let you see in the dark!
<klokwkdog> keeps calling his agent, but he says the music wont play
<kend^> he should have become shortstop with brooklyn dodgers
<kend^> wed be selling fidel rookie cards on ebay now
<SidFudd> g.e. rice boughs dar rur = Edgar Rice Burroughs
* SidFudd already doubts the validity of his own anagram
<kend^> me tarzan, you jane?
<klokwkdog> you better get a TM on that, Sid
<klokwkdog> me Johnny, you Maureen...
<kend^> ill be telling that one at work tomorrow!
<klokwkdog> I loved those outfits she wore in the earliest ones
<kend^> i loved that one shot of the charging rhino that appeared in
every
movie
<klokwkdog> GAD! Its like the WALL isnt here on this house! Its
REALLY blowing out there!
<kend^> kwd: go to the other side of the house, there it will suck!
<klokwkdog> I was too busy looking at Jane to pay much attention to
other
details
<SidFudd> Johnnie Sue In D Frat = I Nosferatu, He Djinn
<klokwkdog> LOL
<kend^> ive always been a rhino fan
<klokwkdog> yeah, they make GOOD stuff!
<kend^> sid, you have anagram generator, or just twisted mind?
<klokwkdog> probably one needs the other, Ken?
<kend^> yep!
<SidFudd> Just twisted
<klokwkdog> hnn is strangely silent tonight - must be in pre-talkie mood
<kend^> sid: give us one for pocohantas, e.g.
<kend^> hnn has gone to sleep (with the fishes?)
<kend^> bill gates resigned as ceo of microsoft!
<kend^> headline on bbc
<Firefried> A little Egypshin nation, land of fair-OHs and Time
-Warner-AOL...
<klokwkdog> what was that Doug Adams said, humans percieve landscapes of
space, rhinos perceive landscapes of time, and cats perceive landscapes
of
quantum uncertainty?
<SidFudd> A.O. Scope Thang
<kend^> well, the e.g. meant, for example, not to be included in anagram
* SidFudd is sorry
<klokwkdog> yeah, check the chat, we did the whole billygate thing
earlier
in sweet excess
* kend^ is too, didnt give enough info there
<SidFudd> I hadnt heard about Bill Gates
<kend^> first i had heard about it, right now
<klokwkdog> Sid probably converted that to exemplum gratitum or
something
<kend^> plums are good
<klokwkdog> yeah, he was replaced by gentle, caring Steve Ballmer
<kend^> so are gratiuities
<klokwkdog> billy is now Chief Software Architect, I think hnn said;
apparently Steve Jobs wasnt available
<SidFudd> Plums are good = Mould arse pog
<kend^> sid, dont let us get you down, we pick on everyone here. need
thick skin to stay here long
<klokwkdog> yeah, like those limes i bought the other day
<kend^> mouldy, were they?
<Firefried> Whats it all about, anyway??
<klokwkdog> looked like they were fresh from Sturgis, if you ask me, Ken
<kend^> i dont have any fears that he will still control the company.
<klokwkdog> It? Alfie?
<kend^> by pony express
<klokwkdog> (n.b.: Jobs and Gates are not renowned as software types)
<kend^> as sung by the psychic network star, dionne warwick
<kend^> gates is better businessman than coder, imho
<kend^> witness that his net worth equals the bottom 106,000,000
americans
combined
<SidFudd> Bill can run but cannot hide
<Firefried> Billville, WA.
<kend^> why would he want to hide? he can hire a damn army to protect
him
from everything except cream pies
<SidFudd> Cream pies=Merci, peas
* SidFudd starts to foxtrot
<Firefried> Come on too busy to be a homecoming queen, get that Bill
<kend^> sid, you are cracking me up!
<kend^> but, with english peas, can you use french word?
* SidFudd looks forward to a Latin translation of "Bohemian Rhapsody"
* SidFudd enjoys his tomato rice soup--mmm

<klokwkdog> its a series?
<SidFudd> Yup. Produced in Australia. A la "Xena" (thats actually New

Show", isnt it?
<SidFudd> Not to mention Rip Torn (otherwise engaged)
<klokwkdog> So are you plugged in to the LOTR production in NZ? How is
that coming along?
<SidFudd> As in "Lord of the Rings"?
<klokwkdog> yep, started shooting mid-Oct, then I lost track - too busy
following the Cup stuff to go digging
<SidFudd> Hadnt heard about it. The production actually wrapped for the
season on Friday, but crew is still there.
<SidFudd> They are eighteen hours ahead--its six hours ago, but tomorrow

<SidFudd> A warm hello, then, to our otto-mated notetaker
<klokwkdog> they also made a nice PERL script to edit the log mess into
the nice HTML page that Tiny puts up so that you can see your own
words...and my reply
