<kend^> hi ash, what's happening in your neck of the woods?
<kend^> and hi regnad, if you're here
<Dexter_Fong> Back of my neck gettin' dirty and gritty, Ken
<kend^> uh oh, sounds like either a song or some hard work
<Dexter_Fong> A good song *is* hard work
<Dexter_Fong> Except for Schubert
<kend^> depends on which side of the microphone/instrument you're on
<kend^> i always preferred mozart when i played the piano, but that's
personal preference
<kend^> his music is simple, yet wickedly complicated simultaneously
<Dexter_Fong> Yes =))
<Dexter_Fong> But I would recommend most highly
<Dexter_Fong> the Op. Posthumous Schubert Piano Sonatas
<kend^> schubert is a little too "romantic" for my tastes, plus a lot of
his was vocal and i'm not a fan of lieder

seemreal.com
<klokwkdog> 158,243.9 - 158,240.5 = 3.4 mi. more like 3.5 since I
forgot to look at odo immediately. 7 mi round trip is beyond my current
ability (or interest)
<klokwkdog> because I was thinking about walking there now and then, Ken

<Dexter_Fong> It'l all be melted when you get home klok

<klokwkdog> No holiday in RI until the 12th - that's Victory Day (most

protesters)
<uhmeow> noisy neighbours, el?
<Dexter_Fong> Protectors klok...they're there to protect the floats
<kend^> hell, if you dropped an atom bomb on my family, i'd protest too
<Dexter_Fong> How close do they live??
<uhmeow> monday is BC day here in BC. don't know why anyone else will
celbrate it though
<klokwkdog> they kind of kicked it off with a bang, Ken ;-)
<Comrade_Yamamoto> What, they don't know who won-a seconda world war,
they so smart?
<kend^> cat, do they have an a.d. day also?
<ElayneR> Cat, they've been noisy since they moved in upstairs. This
has been going on for almost half a year.
<uhmeow> monday's a provincial holiday, yes
<Dexter_Fong> Yam..I think they got a pretty good idea...and it's not
who you think it was
<kend^> e: gorilla warfare is called for
<klokwkdog> but RI is the only state remaining that celebrates VJ Day as
an official holiday. I'm sure CT doesn't, though
<uhmeow> same with us, el. wake us up all the time
<klokwkdog> what about the people in the cities, Cat?
<uhmeow> can't say we are taking well to this apartment living
<Comrade_Yamamoto> :)
<Dexter_Fong> Elayne: I thought they were moving out?
<klokwkdog> are they hard at work catering to all the peasants just in
from the Provinces for a good time?
<uhmeow> the people in the cities are up All the Time
<ElayneR> Sorry to hear it, Cat. No Dex, that rumor never panned out.
<klokwkdog> and whazza matta with Quebec?
<kend^> quebec no spikka da engrish
<klokwkdog> they must be Way Out There by now, Cat...
<Dexter_Fong> They're torturing you E
<uhmeow> we're thinking seriously of looking for somewhere else to live
when we get back from europe
<ElayneR> I'm in radio prison without a way of listening to the radio.
<klokwkdog> yeah, I found that out when the weekend help showed up at
the diner I was eating at, Ken
<ElayneR> Good luck to the both of us, Cat! Where are you going in Europe?
<Dexter_Fong> Only get-a onterstation hiss E?
<Dexter_Fong> inter

<uhmeow> next month.
<uhmeow> hard to believe it's that soon
<kend^> klok: i went to guadaloupe once, didn't speak french. wanted
dinner, i said "moo" and had a medium rare steak served minutes later
<klokwkdog> that's the snake in the grass, Ash
<uhmeow> the italian word for cow is mooca, almost sounds like cow
<uhmeow> i've been studying italian this afternoon
<klokwkdog> Ken, this diner was wont to put snails all over everything
if you didn't order right
<uhmeow> might as well know Something more than the names of food
<Dexter_Fong> Damn klok: that's worse than seeds and stems
<uhmeow> at least where it comes from
<ElayneR> This is just so you can say "I've just returned from Rome!,"
isn't it?
<kend^> cat: most imporant words in italy--"la cosa nostra" and "il papa"
<klokwkdog> yeah, they'd crawl off the plate if you didn't eat fast enough
<uhmeow> hopefully i'll not encounter either
<klokwkdog> he's not there, Ken - out doing a drive-by
<kend^> i like escargot, but i'd prefer them to be broiled

<Comrade_Yamamoto> And in Hell
<klokwkdog> you mean another house or another province (presuming not
closed for holiday) or another country?
<kend^> heil brown shirts of the world!
<uhmeow> odd that pretend-italian food is called Franco-american
<klokwkdog> you could teach English in Costa Rica...
<uhmeow> brown shirts ... don't make it
<kend^> lots of earthquakes lately in costa rica, some big
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Bah, that's my job-the FZ references
<klokwkdog> History Channel had history of Chef Boyardi - he wanted to
be sure his name was pronounced correctly!

on a sure thing?
<klokwkdog> family sold the biz out years ago...
<uhmeow> no money down
<klokwkdog> well heck, Ken, one would rent, of course. Owning stuff in
other countries is nasty and messy and expensive.
<kend^> no thanks, dex, i already got my nigerian 419 letter last week
<Dexter_Fong> I know this Russian dude who says the fix is down for the
summer Olympics Hop Skip and Jump Competition
<Comrade_Yamamoto> and payments once a wek twice a week and never on sunday

chemical-mechanical wafer polishing company?
<klokwkdog> I thought DVD was still on back order
<bfwestley> scenes of frodo kicking an elf
<kend^> just saw ad on tv, says it's out now
<uhmeow> its advertised in stores here
<Dexter_Fong> klok: You happen to catch the news item re: Russio\an Gang
Boss arrested for fixing the Ice Dancing Olympics?
<klokwkdog> Personally, I think I'll wait for all THREE DVDs to be
released - then there will be a nice set, even more extra stuff, etc.
<kend^> but it might be out only in wyoming and western samoa
<uhmeow> my minor league vid and dvd rental place has it
<bfwestley> frodo puts on harold lloyd's glasses and is mistaken for
harry potter
<klokwkdog> curiouser and curiouser, eh Ash?

<bfwestley> harry potter, the new head of M*A*S*H
<klokwkdog> I'm still waiting for the scene where the Fellowship

<Dexter_Fong> His Motive klok: He'd fix it so the Russians won Ice dance
and French win Pairs then France would give him a visa
<kend^> to hell with xena, i want gabrielle!
<klokwkdog> wrong country code for W. Samoa, Ken - you need a different
version
<kend^> hell, i'd settle for a mastercard from belgium
<bfwestley> maybe the DVD has an ending
<klokwkdog> Yeah, Ash, just think: by now, he could've had a MasterCard...
<Comrade_Yamamoto> no, it's round. It's infinite
<klokwkdog> bfw: well, their main dancer leaves to start his own show
and they have to get another guy to dance with Jean Butler

Diego.
<ElayneR> Here I am on vacation and not out there. Can't afford it this
year.
<Comrade_Yamamoto> That could turn out to be quite depressing
<ElayneR> Need to save up to move away from these animals.
<kend^> i was thinking nancy and sluggo, ash, don't want to see that on
big screen
<Dexter_Fong> Aunt Fritzy

There is this dead body and they keep coming up with more and more
people who had good reason to do the deed

stopped collecting when my finances were so rudely interrupted

famous for other stuff
<klokwkdog> No, seriously, I saw all manner of previews and was
thinking, "what are these characters?" I mean, I had no idea what Spawn
was about...
<kend^> cat, i'm still running "american gods" around in my head and
coming up with new angles
<uhmeow> thats cuz you dont know sandman, kend
<Dexter_Fong> Cat: He's like strongly featured at local Barnes and
Noble...unheard of for illustrated books
<uhmeow> when you get a high paying job, go out and buy them. that's my plan

<uhmeow> a lot of the stuff in american gods in from sandman
<Dexter_Fong> Justice League of America for me Kend^
<ElayneR> Klok, which ones do you need help with? Most of the ones
announced are either Marvel or DC, the "big two" comics companies.
<uhmeow> great graphic novel serialization. what dickens might have done
if he'd been into different drugs
<ElayneR> Best comic book movie out now is Road to Perdition anyway.
<kend^> dickens on drugs? next, you'll be telling sigmund freud did
drugs too!
<klokwkdog> Is this like Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons stuff, Cat?
<ElayneR> The original comic book of that was brutal, it was hard to get
through.
<uhmeow> is that a comic?
<Dexter_Fong> Tom Hanks as Dagwood Bumstezd
<kend^> adolph schikelgruber as mr. dithers
<ElayneR> Good read, though, and I could definitely see it being made
into a successful movie.
<Dexter_Fong> KenD^ Sometimes a cigar is really a blunt
<uhmeow> i rented one recently about two high school girls
<uhmeow> heard such good things about it, but was very dissappointed. it
was so STRAIGHT
<ElayneR> Ghost World. That's from the comic book by Dan Clowes.
<klokwkdog> Elayne: it's just that I don't keep up with it, too many

<klokwkdog> I wouldn't hang around Italian train stations, Cat. The US
wired them all with explosives after WWII so that the right-wingers
could take over if the Commies got control of the government.
<kend^> i hear that the trains DO run on time in italia
<klokwkdog> In the '70s, someone got annoyed at least once and blew one
or two of them up. I don't know if they took the stuff out or not.
<kend^> or was that just with il duce?
<uhmeow> by el
<klokwkdog> I never watch those Fellini things anymore
<uhmeow> the fellini i've been renting has been quite dissapointing
<uhmeow> saw a wondrous pasolini the other night though, The Decameron.
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Try the Felllini alfredo
<kend^> i'm not sure i've ever seen any fellini. i hate sub-titles
<klokwkdog> never heard of it Cat
<uhmeow> as if great italian paintings walked off the wall and came to life
<uhmeow> based on a great book you should all read
<uhmeow> i read it in 1965 and have wanted to go to italy ever since
<kend^> the most parodied painting in world has to be god reaching his
finger to adam on sistine ceiling
<uhmeow> finally get there in september
<Comrade_Yamamoto> I've heard of this
<klokwkdog> I like sub-titles. John Sayles was talking about "Men With
Guns" and pointed out that you only have 32 characters, so they are all
kind of like Haiku
<uhmeow> i'll be seeing that one too
<uhmeow> thats one sayles i havent seen
<Dexter_Fong> Like sub titles try Das Boot
<kend^> i wear shoes
<Dexter_Fong> I know ken
<kend^> shoes for industry!
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Brown Shoes dion't make it
<uhmeow> i bought a pair of boots for the trip but they're not
comfotable enough to wear
<Dexter_Fong> They did in this man's army Yam
<klokwkdog> I liked the parody of The Annunciation with the '50s
suburban housewife beating off the Angel with a broom, her small dog
beside her, barking ferociously. I never did find out who did that
<uhmeow> searching for shoes again. maybe i should just wait and buy
them in italy
<kend^> on pbs, "wide angle", the cambodians are laying fiber optic
cable by hand
<klokwkdog> they are very fashionable there
<klokwkdog> oh, that's good working conditions
<Dexter_Fong> Good old fashioned craftsmanship
<kend^> cat, make sure you don't get the shoes you have to shave once a day
<Dexter_Fong> Hairshoe? Gesundheit
<kend^> 60 cents/meter for digging ditches
<klokwkdog> in Africa, they make them slice the fibers from pieces of
quartz, weave them together and anneal them by holding the resulting
fibers over a fire with their bare hands...
<kend^> lol, klok!
<Dexter_Fong> and they get no food or drink
<Dexter_Fong> and no tv
<klokwkdog> all they get is AIDS
<kend^> tv or not tv
<kend^> i'd be celibate for sure if i moved to foreign country
<uhmeow> proctor and bergman, or bergman and proctor
<uhmeow> depends on the country, kend
<kend^> of course, i am here now, so what's the difference
<Dexter_Fong> Understand that's not a problem ken =))
<klokwkdog> LOL
<Dexter_Fong> k: lol beat me to it =))
<kend^> beat me? no thanks, i'll handle it myself
<Dexter_Fong> Use a brrom and a small dog
<Dexter_Fong> broom
<klokwkdog> harley, huh
* kend^ wonders what's wrong with kend^ tonight???
<uhmeow> brom stroke her?
<Comrade_Yamamoto> davidson
<Dexter_Fong> lol Cat
<Dexter_Fong> Cat: Say that like Bela Lugsi
<Dexter_Fong> Lugosi
<kend^> on tv, she's a beauty, i like what she did with her moustache!
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Bella Luigi?
<uhmeow> if i could say that like bela lugosi, i'd be in italy already!
<klokwkdog> fun notice FYI: never try and upgrade a Gateway tower. They
are 1" narrower than industry standard and use different power supplies.
<kend^> wasn't he hungarian?
<Dexter_Fong> Or in a bad Mvie like Glen or Glenda
<uhmeow> the hungrier, the better
<klokwkdog> who says it was bad? Ed Wood liked it...
<uhmeow> i know "bella" means beautiful. a fine local pizza place is
called Bella Pizza
<uhmeow> what wood he know?
<Dexter_Fong> He knew sweaters
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Nothing about angora
<kend^> belladona is to be avoided, though
<Dexter_Fong> Leave the Greeks out, Yam
<uhmeow> the poison belladonna means "beautiful woman"
<klokwkdog> The only Marine known to have stormed ashore at Iwo Jima
wearing bra and panties under his uniform
<Dexter_Fong> John Wayne?
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Someone left the greeks out in the rain
<uhmeow> and wanted to be found wearing them, no doubt
<kend^> greeks and geeks, sunday at 7pm on cbs
<klokwkdog> No, he was in Hollywood, DF. It was Ed Wood.
<uhmeow> and swim the english channel?
<Dexter_Fong> Holding on to a block of wood
<kend^> oh my, so nice. 10M land mines and they are digging ditches by hand
<klokwkdog> so the news reports are correct, CBS programming is really
in trouble?
<Bubbas_Brain> New on your cable system -- the STE channel.
<kend^> ste?
<Bubbas_Brain> ... the Swim The English channel.
<Dexter_Fong> Lol Bub
<klokwkdog> with your 24/7 host, Diana Nyad
<kend^> nice collection of artillery shells too
<kend^> she does "the savvy traveller" for pri. i listen to that if i'm
up at 7am on saturdays
<Dexter_Fong> Don't EVER swim with an artillary shell
<Bubbas_Brain> All Brits, All Swimming, All Day, All night.
<klokwkdog> Well we certainly can't be bothered to go in there and clean
up our mess after all this time!
<klokwkdog> talk about sink and swim!
<kend^> we were never in cambodia, right? nixon said so, i believe it
<Dexter_Fong> Sinking to Cambodia?
<klokwkdog> I certainly wasn't in Cambodia
<uhmeow> a pbs guy is called the savy traveller. stays in expensive
hotels in europe
<Dexter_Fong> Pretty savvy
<klokwkdog> Channing Gray?
<kend^> that's rudy maxa, cat. he started that show
<uhmeow> maybe pbs is bapying
<uhmeow> yeah, that's the guy
<kend^> diana took over from him
<klokwkdog> palace revolt, eh?
<uhmeow> there are 2 pbs travel shows, rick steves staying in b&bs and
rudy in the hotels built by michelangelo
<Bubbas_Brain> Saavy way to travel... Get PRI to pay for it.
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Totally revolting
<Dexter_Fong> Be she Ghost or Goat or ghost of goat....
<kend^> i think rudy was travelling too much to do a weekly show. i like
"globe trekker" on pbs too
<klokwkdog> PBS had Dajit Dahliwahl on the other night; it was good to
see her back after being gobbled by CNN Intern'l
<Bubbas_Brain> A few years ago I saw "Rick Steeves" tour busses in
Germany... a one man industry.
<kend^> she's a hottie, i'd go to india for her!
<uhmeow> he has his own busses?
<Dexter_Fong> Yam 7 seconds ping to you...4 to Cat
<klokwkdog> nah, it was a Busman's holiday, I think
<uhmeow> odd, his show is sponsored by eurail
<Bubbas_Brain> Or at least rented them and sold tours to tourists.
<kend^> leasing. that's the ticket!
<klokwkdog> they go to Cambodia?
<uhmeow> where would spaulding gray be without it?
<Bubbas_Brain> Pretty ironic given how much he says to find your own way
through Europe....
<klokwkdog> no, you have to sign a contract, Ken
<Dexter_Fong> No klok..yah gotta take the Cambels
<klokwkdog> probably stuck back here in RI with his bro' Channing...
<Dexter_Fong> Carol
<kend^> i heard show on bbc about king sihanouk. after ww2, when
liberated from japanese, his first question was "are the marx brothers
still alive?"
<uhmeow> really?
<Dexter_Fong> Karl had a brother?
<klokwkdog> that guy was a constant hoot
<Bubbas_Brain> Stockard?
<uhmeow> i'll use that in my play!
<kend^> he made movies as a hobby, wrote, directed, composed scores, etc.
<Dexter_Fong> Stockard marx...the unknown Commie
<kend^> cat, you should see if you can find that archived on bbc
worldservice
<Bubbas_Brain> The Channing Channel.
<Bubbas_Brain> TCC
<kend^> his first movie was cambodian remake of "heart of darkness"
<uhmeow> i must, kend
<kend^> no one would criticize him, he thought he was great
<klokwkdog> and then Conrad sued...
<uhmeow> groucho is main character in Quake Time, the play i'll finish
writing next year
<kend^> conrad sued comrade sue?
<klokwkdog> it won't be there much longer
<Bubbas_Brain> THe Ho-ho, the ho-ho
<uhmeow> maybe i should put it up on the web in Quick Time
<uhmeow> with an all-duck cast: Quack Time
<Dexter_Fong> lol again!! Bub
<kend^> for those of us on dialup, it's semi-quicktime
<klokwkdog> oh, just put it up as it pleases you, Cat; no need to hurry
<kend^> cambodian lunch on tv: noodle soup with red ants

<uhmeow> i wanna get Box of Time up on the web before i leave, for all
of those you too cheap to buy a copy

<uhmeow> no luck finding work, klok?
<Dexter_Fong> Tornado Bub
<kend^> same thing that happened when kirk and anti-kirk met on star trek
<Bubbas_Brain> Tornado Bub......hmmmm.....
<klokwkdog> they release a photon, an anti-photon, 7eV of energy and a
pi-meson
*** Bubbas_Brain is now known as Tornado_Bub
<klokwkdog> not so far, Cat; it's pretty dry

weather channel, Bub
<kend^> you know that kirk must pause in
his delivery
<Tornado_Bub> TBC -- The Bubba Channel.
<Dexter_Fong> I'd like to order as pizza to go and hold the anchovies
<klokwkdog> no, it's beyond bad acting, Comrade; it's beyond a soap
opera, it's...A WHOLE SHATNER NOVEL!
<uhmeow> was supposed to have new job starting today, but alas, probably
because we're onthe eve of a longweekend, wont start till everyone
returns midweek next
<kend^> i don't want to hold any anchovies
<Tornado_Bub> Oh, sorry, thats TNN.

<kend^> uh oh, sounds like either a song or some hard work
<Dexter_Fong> A good song *is* hard work
<Dexter_Fong> Except for Schubert
<kend^> depends on which side of the microphone/instrument you're on
<kend^> i always preferred mozart when i played the piano, but that's
personal preference
<kend^> his music is simple, yet wickedly complicated simultaneously
<Dexter_Fong> Yes =))
<Dexter_Fong> But I would recommend most highly
<Dexter_Fong> the Op. Posthumous Schubert Piano Sonatas
<kend^> schubert is a little too "romantic" for my tastes, plus a lot of
his was vocal and i'm not a fan of lieder

<kend^> johnny cash wrote a song about that, "ring of fire"
<Dexter_Fong> Hey...Any one here interested in getting some money down
on a sure thing?
<klokwkdog> family sold the biz out years ago...
<uhmeow> no money down
<klokwkdog> well heck, Ken, one would rent, of course. Owning stuff in
other countries is nasty and messy and expensive.
<kend^> no thanks, dex, i already got my nigerian 419 letter last week
<Dexter_Fong> I know this Russian dude who says the fix is down for the
summer Olympics Hop Skip and Jump Competition
<Comrade_Yamamoto> and payments once a wek twice a week and never on sunday
<kend^> ooh, klok, dvd out on lotr, with bonus scenes
<uhmeow> all the missing dialogue, per chance?
<klokwkdog> a sure thing? you mean, like stock SpeedFam's
chemical-mechanical wafer polishing company?
<klokwkdog> I thought DVD was still on back order
<bfwestley> scenes of frodo kicking an elf
<kend^> just saw ad on tv, says it's out now
<uhmeow> its advertised in stores here
<Dexter_Fong> klok: You happen to catch the news item re: Russio\an Gang
Boss arrested for fixing the Ice Dancing Olympics?
<klokwkdog> Personally, I think I'll wait for all THREE DVDs to be
released - then there will be a nice set, even more extra stuff, etc.
<kend^> but it might be out only in wyoming and western samoa
<uhmeow> my minor league vid and dvd rental place has it
<bfwestley> frodo puts on harold lloyd's glasses and is mistaken for
harry potter
<klokwkdog> curiouser and curiouser, eh Ash?
<uhmeow> good one, bf
<kend^> lol, brian!
<bfwestley> harry potter, the new head of M*A*S*H
<klokwkdog> I'm still waiting for the scene where the Fellowship
encounters Xena...
<Dexter_Fong> His Motive klok: He'd fix it so the Russians won Ice dance
and French win Pairs then France would give him a visa
<kend^> to hell with xena, i want gabrielle!
<klokwkdog> wrong country code for W. Samoa, Ken - you need a different
version
<kend^> hell, i'd settle for a mastercard from belgium
<bfwestley> maybe the DVD has an ending
<klokwkdog> Yeah, Ash, just think: by now, he could've had a MasterCard...
<Comrade_Yamamoto> no, it's round. It's infinite
<klokwkdog> bfw: well, their main dancer leaves to start his own show
and they have to get another guy to dance with Jean Butler
<Dexter_Fong> klok: As you said curiouser and etc
<uhmeow> how are things in comic land, el?
<bfwestley> rivendance?
<klokwkdog> LOL
<Dexter_Fong> Remember rivitdance..hot rivet goes astray...you dance
<klokwkdog> E - TV buzz is that every comic that ever existed is being
made into a movie now
<Dexter_Fong> Oh god ...not Henry!!!
<ElayneR> LOL, Klok! Well, Cat, this week's the big convention in San
Diego.
<ElayneR> Here I am on vacation and not out there. Can't afford it this
year.
<Comrade_Yamamoto> That could turn out to be quite depressing
<ElayneR> Need to save up to move away from these animals.
<kend^> i was thinking nancy and sluggo, ash, don't want to see that on
big screen
<Dexter_Fong> Aunt Fritzy
<klokwkdog> DF: the Olympic thing is like some kind of Clue scenario.
There is this dead body and they keep coming up with more and more
people who had good reason to do the deed
<uhmeow> i'm planning to finish collecting the sandman books that i
stopped collecting when my finances were so rudely interrupted
<Dexter_Fong> Colonel Caviar in the Dacha with US DOllars
<kend^> col. grey poupon in the menagerie with the anaconda
<uhmeow> can't open a paper or mag without seeing refs to neal gaiman
these days
<uhmeow> no one will even remember him for sandman, he's becomming so
famous for other stuff
<klokwkdog> No, seriously, I saw all manner of previews and was
thinking, "what are these characters?" I mean, I had no idea what Spawn
was about...
<kend^> cat, i'm still running "american gods" around in my head and
coming up with new angles
<uhmeow> thats cuz you dont know sandman, kend
<Dexter_Fong> Cat: He's like strongly featured at local Barnes and
Noble...unheard of for illustrated books
<uhmeow> when you get a high paying job, go out and buy them. that's my plan
<kend^> all i can think of when i hear "sandman" is going to sleep
<uhmeow> a lot of the stuff in american gods in from sandman
<Dexter_Fong> Justice League of America for me Kend^
<ElayneR> Klok, which ones do you need help with? Most of the ones
announced are either Marvel or DC, the "big two" comics companies.
<uhmeow> great graphic novel serialization. what dickens might have done
if he'd been into different drugs
<ElayneR> Best comic book movie out now is Road to Perdition anyway.
<kend^> dickens on drugs? next, you'll be telling sigmund freud did
drugs too!
<klokwkdog> Is this like Alan Moore/Dave Gibbons stuff, Cat?
<ElayneR> The original comic book of that was brutal, it was hard to get
through.
<uhmeow> is that a comic?
<Dexter_Fong> Tom Hanks as Dagwood Bumstezd
<kend^> adolph schikelgruber as mr. dithers
<ElayneR> Good read, though, and I could definitely see it being made
into a successful movie.
<Dexter_Fong> KenD^ Sometimes a cigar is really a blunt
<uhmeow> i rented one recently about two high school girls
<uhmeow> heard such good things about it, but was very dissappointed. it
was so STRAIGHT
<ElayneR> Ghost World. That's from the comic book by Dan Clowes.
<klokwkdog> Elayne: it's just that I don't keep up with it, too many
other things clog my attention. Like Iraq...
<ElayneR> Enid's full name is an anagram of Clowes'.
<uhmeow> that's it

<klokwkdog> speaking of comics and Japan and (sort of) anime and manga,
http://www.janecek.com/yoshimi.html
<uhmeow> i'll ask him
<klokwkdog> check "Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots Pt. 1", for ezzample
-- you can play it if you have enough gear
<ElayneR> Okay, does someone want to help me get through the Nick Danger
Flash game? Don't make me beg...
<uhmeow> http://www.janecek.com/yoshimi.html
<uhmeow> hieronymous bosch meets Gumbi!

<klokwkdog> yeah
<ElayneR> Ooh, kinkey, Ken!
<klokwkdog> get a biscuit ready for her
<kend^> biscuit? that's what i'm naming my new male kitten. the female

<bfwestley> gotta go and fix a bug in the danger game, bye...
*** Quit: bfwestley (Quit: Leaving)
<klokwkdog> the backstory on that album is pretty sad
<klokwkdog> bye
<uhmeow> by bf
<Dexter_Fong> Do you have pictures kend^
<uhmeow> looks, uh, interesting
<kend^> bug in nick danger? i know a parasitologist
<klokwkdog> so that's what her problem is!
<klokwkdog> it'll all come out in the wash, Ken
<klokwkdog> (after that thunderstorm, a whole bunch of new bones will
appear)
<kend^> yes, dex, but i don't have the kitties yet. i'll have to go find
the pic, will dcc it to you if you want
<Dexter_Fong> Can I get wallet size prints
<uhmeow> you're planning to move and you got kittens?
<Dexter_Fong> K Want's to see if they'll follow him cross country
<ElayneR> *sigh* So Brian's off fixing a bug, and nobody wants to tell
me how to play the damn thing?
<klokwkdog> it could have been worse; he could have had a cow if he
played his cards right
<Dexter_Fong> Beans not cards
<uhmeow> visit the site, el. maybe you can figure it out
<klokwkdog> if it won't work...
<uhmeow> i did and i can't, but then i'm immune to games
<Bubbas_Brain> Haven't played it yet, myself....
<klokwkdog> it's like a microcosm of FST: very frustrating in the end ;-)
<uhmeow> end?
<klokwkdog> no, you have to play another person or the site
<Dexter_Fong> Elayne: Got to twink your Char, get an editor and dupe
some stuff
<uhmeow> some interesting images, was all that interested me
<ElayneR> Cat, I tried already. I got as far as giving Nancy the
message, and that took me about ten tries.
-kend^- DCC Send cats.jpg (67.233.31.197)
<ElayneR> Twink? Vas is los Twink?
<ElayneR> How do you get more money?
<kend^> dex: sending, if you hit "accept"
<klokwkdog> lie about your academic credentials?
<uhmeow> i'd rather do other things with interesting images than click
them and try and solve puzzles
<Dexter_Fong> E: Twink = Provide low level char with uber gear
<klokwkdog> claim to have served in Vietnam?
<kend^> they are about 3 months old, both have 7 toes on each front
foot. he's solid black, she's tortoise-shell
<uhmeow> i recall austin telling someone ((doc? bf) he wanted to make a

<Dexter_Fong> K: Interupted for some reason...hold off please =)
<klokwkdog> he got game?
<kend^> ok, will resend later if you want
<klokwkdog> no, to do that, set hold=ON, Ash
<uhmeow> speaking of got game, fond as i am of kobe and the lakers, it
was delightful to see him as villain on southpark last week
<Dexter_Fong> Thanks klok =)
<uhmeow> remember we get them long, long after you do
<klokwkdog> you push the red button and then that line will blink...
<klokwkdog> that's better than selling them short in this market, Cat
<Dexter_Fong> afk drinky-drink time
<klokwkdog> not that I was in any way selling the Guys short in the
above, Cat
<kend^> don't sell my shorts, i need them
<klokwkdog> you can hedge them with some longs, Ken
<klokwkdog> that's what I prefer...
<klokwkdog> ...shorts and quarts
<kend^> i smoke the longs, wear the shorts, eat the mediums (if they are
female)
<klokwkdog> ...but I am stuck drinking this lousy MGD since the
Teamsters burned down my liquor store last week
<kend^> i didn't really say that, did i?
<kend^> unorganized crime in r.i.?
<klokwkdog> I don't fool around with the Fortune Teller types, Ken
<klokwkdog> no, they did a pretty good job of it, Ken
<kend^> edward teller?
<klokwkdog> I don't know if he did or not, Ken
<kend^> penn and teller?
<klokwkdog> Stuff in other states, I don't know about
<kend^> well, damned bad weather north of me is depriving me of end of
c.s.i.
<klokwkdog> it's all hocus-pocus to me (whatever did happen to them;
rock needs more yodelers)
<kend^> doppler first radar and all their rotating cells
<kend^> need more focus, also
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Prolly all the drugs in the 60's
<klokwkdog> sorry, ken, the doppler max res is 1° radians by 0.25 km,
and they usually stick with 1x1km instead
<Dexter_Fong> Jeeze ken
<kend^> ooh, look at the purple! good drugs
<klokwkdog> IT WILL BE REPEATED OVER AND OVER KEN - YOU CAN WATCH IT IN
THE NURSING HOME
<uhmeow> speaking of maps, can one find maps of train stations, not
where they are but maps of them inside, on line?
<kend^> lol, klok!
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Not Paisley again
<Comrade_Yamamoto> hmmm
<uhmeow> would really like to find some maps of massive italian stations
we'll be wondering around in before we get there
<Dexter_Fong> Cat: Seems reasonable
<kend^> i take the paisley off my plate when it's served
<uhmeow> ian? i thought he was dead
<klokwkdog> OK Comrades - there you have it: this foreigner is looking
for maps of our train stations! REPORT HIM TO THE FBI IMMEDIATELY
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Done
<kend^> sorry, last time i was on a train was 35-40 years ago
<Dexter_Fong> I vas only leading him on
<ElayneR> Oh well, I went through the Nick Danger game again and still
can't figure out how to acquire more money. Thanks for nothing, kids...
grumble mutter...
<Comrade_Yamamoto> The FIB the FIB and Tom Ridge's new groop
*** Quit: ElayneR (Quit: )
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Sorry
<kend^> wish i could have helped her, but i don't mess around with flash
too much, takes too long to d/l
<klokwkdog> I wouldn't hang around Italian train stations, Cat. The US
wired them all with explosives after WWII so that the right-wingers
could take over if the Commies got control of the government.
<kend^> i hear that the trains DO run on time in italia
<klokwkdog> In the '70s, someone got annoyed at least once and blew one
or two of them up. I don't know if they took the stuff out or not.
<kend^> or was that just with il duce?
<uhmeow> by el
<klokwkdog> I never watch those Fellini things anymore
<uhmeow> the fellini i've been renting has been quite dissapointing
<uhmeow> saw a wondrous pasolini the other night though, The Decameron.
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Try the Felllini alfredo
<kend^> i'm not sure i've ever seen any fellini. i hate sub-titles
<klokwkdog> never heard of it Cat
<uhmeow> as if great italian paintings walked off the wall and came to life
<uhmeow> based on a great book you should all read
<uhmeow> i read it in 1965 and have wanted to go to italy ever since
<kend^> the most parodied painting in world has to be god reaching his
finger to adam on sistine ceiling
<uhmeow> finally get there in september
<Comrade_Yamamoto> I've heard of this
<klokwkdog> I like sub-titles. John Sayles was talking about "Men With
Guns" and pointed out that you only have 32 characters, so they are all
kind of like Haiku
<uhmeow> i'll be seeing that one too
<uhmeow> thats one sayles i havent seen
<Dexter_Fong> Like sub titles try Das Boot
<kend^> i wear shoes
<Dexter_Fong> I know ken
<kend^> shoes for industry!
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Brown Shoes dion't make it
<uhmeow> i bought a pair of boots for the trip but they're not
comfotable enough to wear
<Dexter_Fong> They did in this man's army Yam
<klokwkdog> I liked the parody of The Annunciation with the '50s
suburban housewife beating off the Angel with a broom, her small dog
beside her, barking ferociously. I never did find out who did that
<uhmeow> searching for shoes again. maybe i should just wait and buy
them in italy
<kend^> on pbs, "wide angle", the cambodians are laying fiber optic
cable by hand
<klokwkdog> they are very fashionable there
<klokwkdog> oh, that's good working conditions
<Dexter_Fong> Good old fashioned craftsmanship
<kend^> cat, make sure you don't get the shoes you have to shave once a day
<Dexter_Fong> Hairshoe? Gesundheit
<kend^> 60 cents/meter for digging ditches
<klokwkdog> in Africa, they make them slice the fibers from pieces of
quartz, weave them together and anneal them by holding the resulting
fibers over a fire with their bare hands...
<kend^> lol, klok!
<Dexter_Fong> and they get no food or drink
<Dexter_Fong> and no tv
<klokwkdog> all they get is AIDS
<kend^> tv or not tv
<kend^> i'd be celibate for sure if i moved to foreign country
<uhmeow> proctor and bergman, or bergman and proctor
<uhmeow> depends on the country, kend
<kend^> of course, i am here now, so what's the difference
<Dexter_Fong> Understand that's not a problem ken =))
<klokwkdog> LOL
<Dexter_Fong> k: lol beat me to it =))
<kend^> beat me? no thanks, i'll handle it myself
<Dexter_Fong> Use a brrom and a small dog
<Dexter_Fong> broom
<klokwkdog> harley, huh
* kend^ wonders what's wrong with kend^ tonight???
<uhmeow> brom stroke her?
<Comrade_Yamamoto> davidson
<Dexter_Fong> lol Cat
<Dexter_Fong> Cat: Say that like Bela Lugsi
<Dexter_Fong> Lugosi
<kend^> on tv, she's a beauty, i like what she did with her moustache!
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Bella Luigi?
<uhmeow> if i could say that like bela lugosi, i'd be in italy already!
<klokwkdog> fun notice FYI: never try and upgrade a Gateway tower. They
are 1" narrower than industry standard and use different power supplies.
<kend^> wasn't he hungarian?
<Dexter_Fong> Or in a bad Mvie like Glen or Glenda
<uhmeow> the hungrier, the better
<klokwkdog> who says it was bad? Ed Wood liked it...
<uhmeow> i know "bella" means beautiful. a fine local pizza place is
called Bella Pizza
<uhmeow> what wood he know?
<Dexter_Fong> He knew sweaters
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Nothing about angora
<kend^> belladona is to be avoided, though
<Dexter_Fong> Leave the Greeks out, Yam
<uhmeow> the poison belladonna means "beautiful woman"
<klokwkdog> The only Marine known to have stormed ashore at Iwo Jima
wearing bra and panties under his uniform
<Dexter_Fong> John Wayne?
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Someone left the greeks out in the rain
<uhmeow> and wanted to be found wearing them, no doubt
<kend^> greeks and geeks, sunday at 7pm on cbs
<klokwkdog> No, he was in Hollywood, DF. It was Ed Wood.
<uhmeow> and swim the english channel?
<Dexter_Fong> Holding on to a block of wood
<kend^> oh my, so nice. 10M land mines and they are digging ditches by hand
<klokwkdog> so the news reports are correct, CBS programming is really
in trouble?
<Bubbas_Brain> New on your cable system -- the STE channel.
<kend^> ste?
<Bubbas_Brain> ... the Swim The English channel.
<Dexter_Fong> Lol Bub
<klokwkdog> with your 24/7 host, Diana Nyad
<kend^> nice collection of artillery shells too
<kend^> she does "the savvy traveller" for pri. i listen to that if i'm
up at 7am on saturdays
<Dexter_Fong> Don't EVER swim with an artillary shell
<Bubbas_Brain> All Brits, All Swimming, All Day, All night.
<klokwkdog> Well we certainly can't be bothered to go in there and clean
up our mess after all this time!
<klokwkdog> talk about sink and swim!
<kend^> we were never in cambodia, right? nixon said so, i believe it
<Dexter_Fong> Sinking to Cambodia?
<klokwkdog> I certainly wasn't in Cambodia
<uhmeow> a pbs guy is called the savy traveller. stays in expensive
hotels in europe
<Dexter_Fong> Pretty savvy
<klokwkdog> Channing Gray?
<kend^> that's rudy maxa, cat. he started that show
<uhmeow> maybe pbs is bapying
<uhmeow> yeah, that's the guy
<kend^> diana took over from him
<klokwkdog> palace revolt, eh?
<uhmeow> there are 2 pbs travel shows, rick steves staying in b&bs and
rudy in the hotels built by michelangelo
<Bubbas_Brain> Saavy way to travel... Get PRI to pay for it.
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Totally revolting
<Dexter_Fong> Be she Ghost or Goat or ghost of goat....
<kend^> i think rudy was travelling too much to do a weekly show. i like
"globe trekker" on pbs too
<klokwkdog> PBS had Dajit Dahliwahl on the other night; it was good to
see her back after being gobbled by CNN Intern'l
<Bubbas_Brain> A few years ago I saw "Rick Steeves" tour busses in
Germany... a one man industry.
<kend^> she's a hottie, i'd go to india for her!
<uhmeow> he has his own busses?
<Dexter_Fong> Yam 7 seconds ping to you...4 to Cat
<klokwkdog> nah, it was a Busman's holiday, I think
<uhmeow> odd, his show is sponsored by eurail
<Bubbas_Brain> Or at least rented them and sold tours to tourists.
<kend^> leasing. that's the ticket!
<klokwkdog> they go to Cambodia?
<uhmeow> where would spaulding gray be without it?
<Bubbas_Brain> Pretty ironic given how much he says to find your own way
through Europe....
<klokwkdog> no, you have to sign a contract, Ken
<Dexter_Fong> No klok..yah gotta take the Cambels
<klokwkdog> probably stuck back here in RI with his bro' Channing...
<Dexter_Fong> Carol
<kend^> i heard show on bbc about king sihanouk. after ww2, when
liberated from japanese, his first question was "are the marx brothers

<uhmeow> really?
<Dexter_Fong> Karl had a brother?
<klokwkdog> that guy was a constant hoot
<Bubbas_Brain> Stockard?
<uhmeow> i'll use that in my play!
<kend^> he made movies as a hobby, wrote, directed, composed scores, etc.
<Dexter_Fong> Stockard marx...the unknown Commie
<kend^> cat, you should see if you can find that archived on bbc
worldservice
<Bubbas_Brain> The Channing Channel.
<Bubbas_Brain> TCC
<kend^> his first movie was cambodian remake of "heart of darkness"
<uhmeow> i must, kend
<kend^> no one would criticize him, he thought he was great
<klokwkdog> and then Conrad sued...
<uhmeow> groucho is main character in Quake Time, the play i'll finish
writing next year
<kend^> conrad sued comrade sue?
<klokwkdog> it won't be there much longer
<Bubbas_Brain> THe Ho-ho, the ho-ho
<uhmeow> maybe i should put it up on the web in Quick Time
<uhmeow> with an all-duck cast: Quack Time
<Dexter_Fong> lol again!! Bub
<kend^> for those of us on dialup, it's semi-quicktime
<klokwkdog> oh, just put it up as it pleases you, Cat; no need to hurry

pi-meson
*** Bubbas_Brain is now known as Tornado_Bub

<Tornado_Bub> TBC -- The Bubba Channel.
<Dexter_Fong> I'd like to order as pizza to go and hold the anchovies
<klokwkdog> no, it's beyond bad acting, Comrade; it's beyond a soap
