<Comrade_Yamamoto> You haven't been as bad
<klokwkdog> gee, Comrade, maybe that canned Miller stuff is stronger
than i thought...;-)
<Dexter_Fong> Cat: Can God touch his elbow to his ear?
<kend^> mgd isn't bad, klok, i'd rather have it than budweiser
<Regnad_Kcin> the pope is being held together with spit and duct tape
<Regnad_Kcin> or so i've heard
<klokwkdog> what if God was helping the Germans and Superman was on our
side?
<uhmeow> duct and cover?
<Regnad_Kcin> hah... i like my Old Style
<Comrade_Yamamoto> He's pretty ancient, he can barely stand much less sin
<Dexter_Fong> lol klok
<Regnad_Kcin> i don't think they ship it outside of chicago tho
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Can god touch is nose w/his tonge?
<klokwkdog> i can't have Bud, Ken, the drivers for the distributor
burned down the liquor store here 'cause they were selling Bud
<kend^> reg, i think i can get it here, but i rarely buy beer except in
a restaurant, it's always draft there
<Dexter_Fong> If He's toothless Yam
<Comrade_Yamamoto> klok Ask elayne that one
<Regnad_Kcin> suprising... always interesting to know how far regional
beers extend
<klokwkdog> it's an old joke, CY; I forget how it actually goes
<Comrade_Yamamoto> More of those toothless yams
<Dexter_Fong> And Spuds with eyes
<Regnad_Kcin> hey cat... you got that cuteftp all sorted out?
<kend^> i'll check, reg, and let you know
<Comrade_Yamamoto> On his feet
<klokwkdog> well, I'd say that Coors managed to get out of Colorado
<Dexter_Fong> And ready to march Yam?
<Comrade_Yamamoto> I'm not much for beer
<kend^> i used to think coors was great, back when it had to be smuggled in
<kend^> but i don't touch it now that i know a republican brews it
<Tornado_Bub> Never suck a breaker, even give.
<uhmeow> indeed, reg
<klokwkdog> ...and we seem to be getting a good supply of Anchor Steam
every time the Flying Cloud makes it back around the Horn from San
Francisco...
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Coors=fascist beer
<uhmeow> check out www.seemreal.com
<uhmeow> we couldnt get it to appear last week, but the next day, there
it was
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Don't drink anything brewed by someone named Adolph
<uhmeow> you didnt put it there, did you?
<Regnad_Kcin> coors is a step above hams, or so i remember it
<klokwkdog> well, they seem to be doing a good job of killing themselves
off, Ken
<kend^> i like ham, but sausage is better
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Whatever happened to Hammss?
<uhmeow> i put the new Tiny mp3 up on the Red Shift part of that site
today, complete with earthquake
<Tornado_Bub> I'd rather be a sausage than a ham, yes I am, yes I really
am.........
* Tornado_Bub wonders whate Garfunkle is ding these days....
<kend^> or as emeril says, "pork fat rules!"
<uhmeow> the elf?
<klokwkdog> Killian's Red is OK; Extra Gold is almost as good as Negra
Modelo (and cheaper), but a chick is running Modelo now and I feel bad
drinking beer made by an anti-union company
<Regnad_Kcin> shining simon's boots?
<kend^> klok: that's why i don't shop at walmart
<klokwkdog> he's probably being upstaged
<uhmeow> i just bought a bottle of spanish wine today, in preparation
for trip to spain
<Comrade_Yamamoto> I drink only root beer
<uhmeow> nice bottle
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Spanish wine?
<klokwkdog> I don't care one way or another about Wal-Mart; there is one
a mile and a half down the road, but I always get a creepy feeling in them.
<uhmeow> yeah, they complain a lot
<uhmeow> i'll pour a glass and see if franco comes back to life
<Dexter_Fong> afk for drink
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Damn spaniards
<Regnad_Kcin> as do i comrade... ever since i tore up my stomach (ain't
being a bachelor fun? how many nights in a row can i down a 6 pack and
order out pizza? ;)
<klokwkdog> Is he still dead?
<Comrade_Yamamoto> No, he's dead
<kend^> viva el rey carlos!
<Comrade_Yamamoto> oye vendecko
<Regnad_Kcin> ?tu madre es un puta grande?
<Comrade_Yamamoto> echh
<kend^> how sweet--i'm in a tornado watch area now
<klokwkdog> well, enjoy. I was told that all the water in Europe is
dangerous, so I'd have to drink Perrier, soft drink, beer or wine
<Regnad_Kcin> ?a donde es la biblioteca con las frijoles?
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Went to the John Dillenger HS spansh Classs, eh Regnad?
<kend^> where is the library with the beans?
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Beano should sort that out
<Regnad_Kcin> 2 years PLUS an extra of colegio
*** Join: bfwestley (~wes...@isis.visi.com)
<klokwkdog> Ken - go to the "radar weather" page on your Intellicast.
If you click on the Alert box with your CENTER button, you can drag it
somewhere else and the alerts will stop and the tornadoes will go
somewhere else

<Regnad_Kcin> www.weatherbug.com
<Dexter_Fong> Ken Keep an eye out for Bubba
<Comrade_Yamamoto> 3 years of a language, and he still can't speak it
<uhmeow> very dry, like it says on the bottle
<Regnad_Kcin> im not one for wasting resources... but i love that thing
<kend^> nice try, klok, i don't think it works that way though. i have
"weatherbug" and it alerts me when there's a warning or watch
<Comrade_Yamamoto> too much spam from them
<klokwkdog> it's all those clicking sounds, CY
<Regnad_Kcin> i can read it :)
<uhmeow> carta nevada, means extra dry
<bfwestley> I just fixed a minor bug in the nick danger game, in case
anyone's downloaded it already. It doesn't affect gameplay, though.
<Regnad_Kcin> and yes, i asked where the library with the beans was
<uhmeow> freixenet
*** Quit: bfwestley (Quit: Leaving)
<Comrade_Yamamoto> No that's a map of Las Vegas, cat
<uhmeow> is that basque?
<kend^> a tisket, a tasket, a red and yellow basque-et
<uhmeow> lol, kend
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Catalan, I think
<uhmeow> we'll be in barcelona for a few days
<kend^> was that ella or sarah that did that one?
<klokwkdog> we designed the NEXRAD system to work that way, Ken. It
raises the beam energy by a factor of 10 and it heats up all the precip
on one edge and it moves somewhere else. You can do a whole radial, a
group of radials, or just bins along a radial(s)
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Lucky you
<Dexter_Fong> Ken: Ella
<kend^> cat: check out the barcaloungers in barcelona
<Regnad_Kcin> catalan turns the "s"es into "th"es doesn't it?
<Comrade_Yamamoto> MANY moons ago
<Dexter_Fong> Thure reg
<Regnad_Kcin> but can you do whitewalls klok?
<kend^> reg: i think that's galician, but i could be wrong
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Catalan is the lispy language
<uhmeow> and portugese turns it all into sh
<klokwkdog> You can tell if it's active by the legend below the color
scale. If it says "precip mode", you can drag the Alert boxes
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Andres Thegovia
<uhmeow> wont know whether to shit or to thit
<Dexter_Fong> I always sit to shit
<klokwkdog> If it says "clear air", they disable it to prevent damage to
light planes and birds.
<kend^> not "s", only soft "c" and "z"
<kend^> good plan, dex :)
<Tornado_Bub> I'm gonna drop out now (and unfortunately not tune in or
turn on).....
<Tornado_Bub> Nite all
<uhmeow> gotta listen to all my firesign spanish riffs, practice up
<kend^> later, bub
<Dexter_Fong> Night Tornado
<uhmeow> by bub
<Comrade_Yamamoto> I's messy standing up
<klokwkdog> nite TB
*** Part: Tornado_Bub (Bubba...@44-pool10.ras10.inind.tii-dial.net)
<Regnad_Kcin> nite
<Dexter_Fong> Yam: Youse messy sitting down too
<Comrade_Yamamoto> laters
<uhmeow> i think this dry wine might be good with a certain cuisine
<uhmeow> i'll be interested in finding out which one
<Comrade_Yamamoto> A japanese Ukranian imitating Mrexicans?
<Dexter_Fong> I agree Cat
<uhmeow> something subtle
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Dry Wine=jut add water
<klokwkdog> Europeans are very fussy about matching wine and entree,
Cat. You have to be careful when ordering or they will take you for an
American
<Dexter_Fong> And ask a big ransom
<kend^> just ask for the house wine
<kend^> they will know which one to give you
<uhmeow> i'll ask them to do it for me
<Comrade_Yamamoto> I hear they have some nice fish dishes out that way
<uhmeow> that's the plan, kend
<klokwkdog> "why can't I get better odds in this place?"
<kend^> paella in spain falls mainly on the tourists
<uhmeow> i love fish, like all cats
<klokwkdog> LOL, BTW, DF
<Dexter_Fong> Cat: Do you chew on house plants too
<kend^> best paella i ever had contained baby octopus
<uhmeow> i know fish is big in barcelona, but in the interior, it's
rare, or so i hear
<klokwkdog> even Persian?
<Comrade_Yamamoto> There's some good fish dishes out that way
<uhmeow> just meat
<klokwkdog> the other white meat
<uhmeow> pealla always good
<Comrade_Yamamoto> I need to go to Europe
<klokwkdog> they have some good food dishes over there, too
<kend^> cat: get moros if they have them. black beans, white rice,
cooked together, covered with chopped onions. mmmmmmm
<klokwkdog> Sabena has good service, CY
<uhmeow> sounds good
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Yes
<klokwkdog> not allowed on Atkins diet
<Comrade_Yamamoto> I've heard
<klokwkdog> serial no-nos
<uhmeow> i have to check out vancouver's spanish restaurants soon
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Atkins can take a hike
<klokwkdog> it's like french food - lots of fancy sauces
<uhmeow> i think i know what to eat in italy, at least to start with
<kend^> i always liked the trout a la russe in spanish restaurants.
broiled, covered with chopped boiled eggs
<klokwkdog> the Appetizer?
<uhmeow> spanish food has sauces? i didnt know that
<kend^> salsa=sauce
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Nearly anything is good
<uhmeow> oh i see
<kend^> or, salsa=funky music
<klokwkdog> not the peasant food, the high-class stuff
<Comrade_Yamamoto> see what you miss living in canada
<uhmeow> well, i miss having gw bush for president
<klokwkdog> yeah, getting hit up for $$$ to pay for a war with Iraq. Again.
<kend^> you ain't missin' anything there
<Dexter_Fong> We do to Cat
<uhmeow> only in the sense that i miss having leukemia
<klokwkdog> It
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Spanish sauces are lighter than the French, tho if IIRC
<klokwkdog> It's like they keep charging you and don't fix your car...
<uhmeow> i love sauces
<Comrade_Yamamoto> They've been doing this for years
<klokwkdog> elections more corrupt than Mexico's (gad, talk about Free
Trade...)
<Dexter_Fong> Spanish sauces like Italian sauces have some French
influences but reatin their own traditions
<Comrade_Yamamoto> I heard on the news the other day the FBI is being
transferred from the war obn drugs
<klokwkdog> businesses more corrupt than Mexico's...
<uhmeow> oo, suaces with drugs. i may never come back!
<Comrade_Yamamoto> To the war on Terrorisim
<kend^> oh yeah, i love that tone when the e.a.s. kicks on!
<klokwkdog> Yeah, them and the Coast Guard, now Coast Guard subordinate
division of Homeland Security
<kend^> so discordant!
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Martha Stewart can write and cook books
<kend^> all divisions of u.s. plus!
<uhmeow> good one, mr y
<Comrade_Yamamoto> thank you
<klokwkdog> it's to wake up all the citizen spies that more kidnappings
have occurred
<klokwkdog> it's not just for tornadoes any more
<kend^> tips. it's not just for postmen anymore
<klokwkdog> BEEP - WARNING: We just bombed Baghdad and the market is
down 750 points
<uhmeow> unless you have oil stocks
<klokwkdog> BEEP - WARNING - GE engaged in false trades with AOL...
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Pig Nut oil?
<Dexter_Fong> Ohh the big stuff huh?
<kend^> testicular fat?
<Comrade_Yamamoto> If that were the case the damn thng would be going
off all the time
<klokwkdog> nice editorial in NYT Wed, Cat. Will oil go to $6/bbl or
$60/bbl, and makes arguments for both
<uhmeow> pig pen oil company. you knew we were dirty to begin with!
<klokwkdog> http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/31/opinion/31FRIE.html
<uhmeow> i used to have nyt sub on my old computer. think i lost it but
i should read that article
<Comrade_Yamamoto> They manage to always test the EAS during a good
piece of music
<Comrade_Yamamoto> You have to register
<Dexter_Fong> Figure nobody's listening Yam
<kend^> but it's free
<Comrade_Yamamoto> EAS during Schubert sucks
<klokwkdog> I think it's more that it's during a piece of music from a
company that did not pay off the station or its conglomerate owner enough
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Public Station
<uhmeow> damn. it didnt recognize my old password or id. guess i'm not
there no more
<kend^> eas during some modern composers is an improvement, though
<Dexter_Fong> It's a conspiracy man
<Comrade_Yamamoto> that actually plays classical music
<uhmeow> i just signed up for salon subscription today
<uhmeow> something to read in internet cafes
<Dexter_Fong> New hairdo?
<Comrade_Yamamoto> EAS - Schoenberg: no difference
<klokwkdog> in flight, Cat
<Dexter_Fong> Schpemnberg has more tones
<Comrade_Yamamoto> No I'm at the same old place
<klokwkdog> good for YOU Cat!!
<klokwkdog> yeah, dem 12-tone blues
<Dexter_Fong> Been atonal for so long sounds like harmony to me
<kend^> be fair now, the rep 12-tone is good too
<uhmeow> well, as i'm supposed to be Working, i figure i can afford to
read all those premium article i've been wanting to read
<Comrade_Yamamoto> all at the same time
<klokwkdog> CY - get thee to www.bbc.co.uk/proms and revel in this
summer's premier classical broadcasts!
<Dexter_Fong> Kend: With your shoe thing, I figure you maybe have a pair
of 12-tomes?
<klokwkdog> groan
<kend^> 12-tomes? you been into my books again?
<Dexter_Fong> You're on the books ken
<uhmeow> there is very little music that i like, but one delightful
thing about salon premiums is a great song by Laura Nyro i'd never
heard, on their site
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Hope I can run BBC on dialup
<klokwkdog> I ran it on 56K more or less
<uhmeow> i didnt even know she was dead
<klokwkdog> the fidelity is not that good on Broadband, so you aren't
losing anything via dialup
<klokwkdog> I run BBC 3 all night sometimes
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Got a 404
<uhmeow> fidelity excellent on the salon tune
<klokwkdog> (sometimes I run 3WK ;-)
<Comrade_Yamamoto> wait a minute
<klokwkdog> huh? on http://www.bbc.co.uk/proms ?
<Dexter_Fong> I run the back roads so I wont get weighed
<klokwkdog> yes, and I was surprised at the quality on the Flaming Lips
site after too many RealAudio stations
<Comrade_Yamamoto> y gave me a 404
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Okay
<klokwkdog> try this, tomorrow's:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/proms/whatson/dailyevents/0308.shtml
<klokwkdog> it's at 2PM EDT, 7PM at Royal Albert Hall, but standing in
line there is such a bother
<kend^> and you have to wear a tux
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Loading
<Comrade_Yamamoto> I don't want to look like a penguin'
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Here we go
<Dexter_Fong> Then stay off the ice
<klokwkdog> no, you can get prom tickets an hour before the show for £3, Ken
<kend^> i can afford to lose 3 pounds, i'm overweight anyhoo
<klokwkdog> it can be hot, so the standees don't usually dress as well
<Dexter_Fong> Ken: The corsage will set yyou back adout 10 bob
<klokwkdog> the other seats are long-since sold out anyway
<Comrade_Yamamoto> 3 Pounds of dollars?
<kend^> i don't know 10 bobs
<uhmeow> sapho was a poet, billy was a real musician
<klokwkdog> maybe it's £6 now
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Bob's got the good seats
<Comrade_Yamamoto> that's what 15 bucks?
<kend^> i wonder if the euro symbol works in here? i don't know the code
for it though
<Dexter_Fong> Catulus was a poet. Dylan was a real musician
<kend^> one pound = about $1.50 now
<klokwkdog> ah, here it is, £4 - split the diffrnc
<uhmeow> louise's church, laury nyro song on my salon speakers at present
<Dexter_Fong> 3 bucks
<Comrade_Yamamoto> If you've run winblows update lately, the Euro symbol
is in there somewhere
<uhmeow> never heard any of her 90s music until now, loved her 60s stuff
<kend^> euro roughly equal to $, but up and down
<klokwkdog> you can't do it with Code 850, Ken, you need WinXP or ME,
likely, if you haven't upgraded with the patches.
<uhmeow> didnt even know she was dead
<kend^> i'm win98 here
<klokwkdog> she passed some time back, yes
<Dexter_Fong> Were' all winners
<uhmeow> spliff the diff?
<Dexter_Fong> Stunt the blunt
<Comrade_Yamamoto> You need XP/ME
<kend^> speaking of spliff, item on bbc science or health site about
cannabis preventing anxiety and panic attacks
<Dexter_Fong> R
<klokwkdog> a minor revival, but not the usual garish flood of chintzy
reissues and fake tributes by teary fellow musicians
<Dexter_Fong> Ken: That's news?
<klokwkdog> I believe it, Ken
<kend^> well, it's proven now, dex
<uhmeow> yeah i saw that on brokaw yesterday, kend
<klokwkdog> mass quantities going to Baghdad
<klokwkdog> Wall Street
<klokwkdog> DC
<Dexter_Fong> Ken: Sorry iwasn't paying attention, what? =)
<uhmeow> and an hour about how harmful the war on drugs is to amercians
on disney owned abc the other night
<klokwkdog> but it's OK, it's OK, you will soon be getting lots of khat
<uhmeow> are we winning the media? i dont believe it
<Dexter_Fong> Kends getting 2 khats
<klokwkdog> like I said, lots of khat...
<klokwkdog> for pets or food?
<uhmeow> the michael moore flick?
* Dexter_Fong sings.."You've gotta have khat, miles and miles of khat...."
* kend^ sings: "no, no, no, i don't smoke it no more...."
<uhmeow> i heard from a friend who did a lot of it when he was in
africa, it's very speedy
<klokwkdog> hide all your sudafed. a friend's cat ate one or more and
had strokes, seizures, etc., is still afflicted, but using the litter
box again
*** Comrade_Yamamoto is now known as Comra
<uhmeow> i prefer induced mellow to induced speed
<kend^> i think i'll stick to caffeine for that speedy feeling
<klokwkdog> kava
<Dexter_Fong> Geeti Comra
<klokwkdog> coca leaves
<kend^> or speedy alka-seltzer
<uhmeow> sudafed= ephedrine, the drug of choice by my daughter's killer
<Dexter_Fong> Speedy mellow for me fellahs
*** Comra is now known as Comrade_Yamamoto
<klokwkdog> yeah, one click short of crystal meth
<uhmeow> coca leaves have kept the inca from extinction for centuries
<klokwkdog> could've fooled me...
<Comrade_Yamamoto> didn't work
<kend^> and thousands of dea agents from extinction, also
<Dexter_Fong> lol k
<uhmeow> i think the inca will outlast all the eveil schemes of the dea,
the pope, and everyone else who will never live in the andes with them
<klokwkdog> well, we have forest fighters starting fires to make sure
they have work...
<kend^> usps workers arrested here for stealing cd's from mail, then
pawning them
<klokwkdog> you can't live in the Andes with them
<Dexter_Fong> The Inca's are fighting forest fires?
<uhmeow> car companies making prematurely obsolescent vehicles to
guarantee a market
<klokwkdog> your hemocrit is too low for you to survive
<kend^> epo is the answer, ask that latvian cyclist's wife
<klokwkdog> the government starting wars so the defense industry has work...
<klokwkdog> so why not dea agents...
<uhmeow> yeah, there's a lot of that going aroudn
<Dexter_Fong> I didn't even know those dea guys had agents
<klokwkdog> you're exactly right about that, Cat: West Nile is now in 37
states
<kend^> cat, i sent you the story about american's fleeing to canada for
pot prosecution and claiming asylum, didn't i?
<klokwkdog> that's why they're so full of corruption -- it's those 20% fees
<Dexter_Fong> 20%!!!!!I'm paying 35%!!!
<kend^> you need a new agent, dex
<Dexter_Fong> I'm movin' outta orange county
<klokwkdog> yeah, like Mr. Clean
<uhmeow> agent orange
<kend^> "rent-an-agent 555-1212"
<uhmeow> indeed, kend. i watch their webcast
<Dexter_Fong> "Hi...I'm you're agent ....let's talk dirty
<klokwkdog> get secret agent man!
<kend^> the best agents are in mena, arkansas, i hear
<uhmeow> patrick mcgoohan or joseph conrad?
<uhmeow> orange county? i thought you were in nyc
<klokwkdog> hey, BTW, is it against the law to talk dirty to some
stranger who calls selling something?
<Dexter_Fong> One of you here prolly is a prisoner fan...Is the big
trial scene with the guy singing "Dem Bones" the last episode?
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Bah, can't get BBC 3 audio for some reason
<kend^> well, nyc used to be dutch, house of orange ran holland, ergo,
orange county
<klokwkdog> but #2 just died!
<Dexter_Fong> Well done! Kend^ =))
<klokwkdog> (of course, all the #2s died in the end...)
<uhmeow> i wonder about that. Fumiyo keeps telling me to tell these
endless fuckers who call during dinner to fuck off, but i wonder if
that'll just get them madder
<uhmeow> it's like dealing with crazy dogs, you gotta avoid them Carefully
<kend^> i can stretch logic to the breaking point!
<klokwkdog> no, Cat, I was thinking of starting by asking what they're
wearing...
<Dexter_Fong> Cat: seriously...I just tell em I'm eating dinner and then
hang up
<klokwkdog> ...and how maybe we could meet somewhere to discuss this
wonderful opportunity in depth
<kend^> i just leave my computer connected all the time, no one ever
disturbs me by calling
<klokwkdog> I know some good rest stops
<uhmeow> i only answer them when i'm expecint a call from someone
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Caller ID?
<uhmeow> we've had that for many years, but many ids dont work
<klokwkdog> you need RealAudio, CY
<Dexter_Fong> Well, it's time to avoid the Giant Toad....will remain
logging...night to all who leave...and see whoever doesn't leter
<uhmeow> people we need to hear from are labelled "private caller" and such
<uhmeow> bye dex
<kend^> later, ash
<Comrade_Yamamoto> If I get an unidentifed Id on my phone, I don't answer
<klokwkdog> beyond that, dunno; it works for me and it worked on 56K
dialup, although haven't tried that; can't now or I'd lose the chat
(which I have to do shortly anyway, but then can't tell you anything ;-)
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Klok-I have Realaudio 8
<uhmeow> but when everyone is unidentified, what do you do?
<klokwkdog> nite Dex
<kend^> if i get anything on my caller id that's unknown and local, i
call them back to see who they are
<klokwkdog> shoudl work then; dunno
<klokwkdog> I listened to the 2000 season via dialup
<uhmeow> i have 2 different caller id hardwares on 2 dif phones. they
give me dif info, but not what i need to know
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Do I need the credit card versuion?
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Maybe I have to enter the url into realaudio
<Comrade_Yamamoto> I'll open real audio
<klokwkdog> no, I'm using the free version
<kend^> gentilemen: i'm off, see you all next time. will remain logging
under other name. g'nite
<klokwkdog> http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/ram/r3g2.ram
<klokwkdog> nite Ken
<uhmeow> of yo u go, kend
<klokwkdog> is the URL I use, CY
*** Part: kend^ (K...@1Cust60.tnt2.three-rivers.mi.da.uu.net)
<klokwkdog> RealAudio has become real nasty about wanting a credit card,
even for "free" version, but Netscape 6.2.3 comes with built-in
RealAudio 8 that works fine - no phony registration-then-cancel move
required. Haven't tested that with dialup, though.
<Comrade_Yamamoto> that should do
<Comrade_Yamamoto> There we go
<uhmeow> astrobotnia, the only other good track i've heard on the salon
preumium site thus far, after laura
<klokwkdog> what's that?
<uhmeow> i must get that, klok
<Comrade_Yamamoto> I have it connected
<Comrade_Yamamoto> I got realaudio w/aol
<Comrade_Yamamoto> and we're on
<klokwkdog> "You're listening to BBC Radio 3...!"
<Comrade_Yamamoto> sort of
<Comrade_Yamamoto> rebuffering
<klokwkdog> Oh, AOL!! Ah, AOL is a real nightmare to do RealAudio with!
No wonder!
<Comrade_Yamamoto> AOL is a nightmare for anything
<klokwkdog> They route world+dog thru Tyson's Corner first or something.
<klokwkdog> Ah, sorry
<Comrade_Yamamoto> But it is a half decent firewall
<klokwkdog> I had a cheap local ISP
<klokwkdog> which, yes, now sends more spam in a day than I formerly got
my entire life
<uhmeow> those dumb horses, they don't mind
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Spam levels are VERY low
<klokwkdog> The trick there I guess is to get cheap local ISP, disable
the mail, and use a Yahoo account or something
<uhmeow> an interesting lyric on eileen rose's tune good man
<klokwkdog> If you have Netscape 6.2.3 installed, it will plug RIGHT
into Netscape/AOL's web mail system like it was a POP
<klokwkdog> but it won't retrieve AOL mail
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Because of the way AOL works, nothing can get into
your computer w/o you saying it can
<uhmeow> whatr was that great tune about horses, maybe 30 years ago. was
it the byrds? kinda spoken word thing
<uhmeow> fuckin awesom
<uhmeow> think it was a single

<Comrade_Yamamoto> Okay

<uhmeow> i asked him to play mr ed again in red shift, but he demurred,
played dalai lama instead
<uhmeow> yeah, that's it klok
<uhmeow> maybe 69 or so?
<klokwkdog> I tried dali lama, but couldn't find his number
<uhmeow> i played that on the radio in 69-70
<uhmeow> but forget what or who it was
<uhmeow> that is a very long time ago
<klokwkdog> oh, it's on the constant rotation list for AAA radio along

<klokwkdog> O Lucky Man!
<uhmeow> indeed
<klokwkdog> We All Want Justice, But You Have to Have The Money to Buy It
<klokwkdog> Every One is Going Through Changes
<uhmeow> i hadn't evne unpacked my reel to reel machine until this week
and then i wanted to hear that song and it was only on reel
<klokwkdog> Unemployed, I walk in circles thru my neighborhood
<uhmeow> even better is his Jarrow Lads tune on the next album, which i
bought the week Fumiyo and I were married b ut now hav eonly only on
reel and forget the name of it
<klokwkdog> The soundtrack to O Lucky Man! is on one of the tapes I
trudge to 4 days a week
<klokwkdog> hence the comment about the ice cream parlor - 3.5 mi. is
too far; I'm barely up to walking that one way right now
<uhmeow> yes, lucky man is one of the albums i've listend to more than
most in the past 30 yeqrs
<klokwkdog> you can find the album on CDNOW.com, perhaps
<klokwkdog> I went looking for Price a couple years back to find out
what happened (after being distressed by what I found with Jade Warrior)
<uhmeow> i walked 2 miles a day (up hill one, down the other) in july,
this month will ascend the hill twice, next month 3 ties daily for a 6
mile walk
<uhmeow> when the roman hills smile before me, my legs will be ready
<klokwkdog> He was still around when I checked, but not doing much
<uhmeow> at least he's not dead
<klokwkdog> I'm up to 8-9 circuits at 0.5 mi ea.
<klokwkdog> Yeah, but he's getting no respect
<uhmeow> i wasnt a big fan of the animals\but i loved when dylan asked
him, so what are the animals doing for an organist, in the Dont Look
<uhmeow> BBack flick
<klokwkdog> The "Chocolate Sandwich" sequence in the film keeps it from
being shown uncut, and it's usually cut because it's awful long, too
<klokwkdog> WPKN aired the DVD commentary track on that and it's one I
definitely want to rent.
<klokwkdog> I NEVER saw that
<uhmeow> see it
<klokwkdog> Dylan and Baez jamming Johnny Cash in UK hotel...
<uhmeow> wow
<uhmeow> there's an old guy (i'm far from young) walking down the alley
outside my window in a military uniform
<uhmeow> as if from a parade
<klokwkdog> It started at 2AM and I stayed up all night listening to
this running commentary by the filmmakers
<uhmeow> it is a surreal world
<klokwkdog> hmm, not Anzac day
<klokwkdog> every day reminds us of that, you more than most, I guess
<uhmeow> we don't need to be any weirder than the world is just to
appreciate that
<uhmeow> and you havent even heard any of my plays
<klokwkdog> yep, but amid all the turmoil and splashing waves, there is
a definite tide to existence for each and the collective
<uhmeow> the firesigns, who are delighted to be in them, always tell me,
i'm weirder than even they can comprehend
<klokwkdog> only one

<uhmeow> klok, the flick is called La Jette. one of the best flicks i've
ever seen and the greatest influence on my idea of cinema of any flick
<klokwkdog> It is being writ down as you type, Cat
<uhmeow> when you see my flicks, you'll say to yourself, wow, that sure
looks like a flick made by someone who was seriously into La Jette
<Dexter_Fong> La Jette = The jump?
<klokwkdog> He once told Dick Cavett that "one more man must die" before
he could tell what he did in the Resistance; I was hoping that could
come out now, but it hasn't that I've seen
<uhmeow> la jette is like firesign, it is a different way of
experiencing a medium, that, if you are also creative, makes you want to
invent one of your own
<klokwkdog> Yeah, like a low-rent version of Seven Days (which had its
comic moments, too)
<uhmeow> no, jette means a kind of section of an airport, a tarmac, as
it were, dont know enough french, but it refers to a section of the
paris airport where, "things happen"
<klokwkdog> I'm enjoying the Nero Wolfe series, which is made in Canada.
Quite well.

<kend^> i always liked the trout a la russe in spanish restaurants.
broiled, covered with chopped boiled eggs
<klokwkdog> the Appetizer?
<uhmeow> spanish food has sauces? i didnt know that
<kend^> salsa=sauce
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Nearly anything is good
<uhmeow> oh i see
<kend^> or, salsa=funky music
<klokwkdog> not the peasant food, the high-class stuff
<Comrade_Yamamoto> see what you miss living in canada
<uhmeow> well, i miss having gw bush for president
<klokwkdog> yeah, getting hit up for $$$ to pay for a war with Iraq. Again.
<kend^> you ain't missin' anything there
<Dexter_Fong> We do to Cat
<uhmeow> only in the sense that i miss having leukemia
<klokwkdog> It
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Spanish sauces are lighter than the French, tho if IIRC
<klokwkdog> It's like they keep charging you and don't fix your car...
<uhmeow> i love sauces
<Comrade_Yamamoto> They've been doing this for years
<klokwkdog> elections more corrupt than Mexico's (gad, talk about Free
Trade...)
<Dexter_Fong> Spanish sauces like Italian sauces have some French
influences but reatin their own traditions
<Comrade_Yamamoto> I heard on the news the other day the FBI is being
transferred from the war obn drugs
<klokwkdog> businesses more corrupt than Mexico's...
<uhmeow> oo, suaces with drugs. i may never come back!
<Comrade_Yamamoto> To the war on Terrorisim
<kend^> oh yeah, i love that tone when the e.a.s. kicks on!
<klokwkdog> Yeah, them and the Coast Guard, now Coast Guard subordinate
division of Homeland Security
<kend^> so discordant!
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Martha Stewart can write and cook books
<kend^> all divisions of u.s. plus!
<uhmeow> good one, mr y
<Comrade_Yamamoto> thank you
<klokwkdog> it's to wake up all the citizen spies that more kidnappings
have occurred
<klokwkdog> it's not just for tornadoes any more
<kend^> tips. it's not just for postmen anymore
<klokwkdog> BEEP - WARNING: We just bombed Baghdad and the market is
down 750 points
<uhmeow> unless you have oil stocks
<klokwkdog> BEEP - WARNING - GE engaged in false trades with AOL...
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Pig Nut oil?
<Dexter_Fong> Ohh the big stuff huh?
<kend^> testicular fat?
<Comrade_Yamamoto> If that were the case the damn thng would be going
off all the time
<klokwkdog> nice editorial in NYT Wed, Cat. Will oil go to $6/bbl or
$60/bbl, and makes arguments for both
<uhmeow> pig pen oil company. you knew we were dirty to begin with!
<klokwkdog> http://www.nytimes.com/2002/07/31/opinion/31FRIE.html
<uhmeow> i used to have nyt sub on my old computer. think i lost it but
i should read that article
<Comrade_Yamamoto> They manage to always test the EAS during a good
piece of music
<Comrade_Yamamoto> You have to register
<Dexter_Fong> Figure nobody's listening Yam
<kend^> but it's free
<Comrade_Yamamoto> EAS during Schubert sucks
<klokwkdog> I think it's more that it's during a piece of music from a
company that did not pay off the station or its conglomerate owner enough
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Public Station
<uhmeow> damn. it didnt recognize my old password or id. guess i'm not
there no more
<kend^> eas during some modern composers is an improvement, though
<Dexter_Fong> It's a conspiracy man
<Comrade_Yamamoto> that actually plays classical music
<uhmeow> i just signed up for salon subscription today
<uhmeow> something to read in internet cafes
<Dexter_Fong> New hairdo?
<Comrade_Yamamoto> EAS - Schoenberg: no difference
<klokwkdog> in flight, Cat
<Dexter_Fong> Schpemnberg has more tones
<Comrade_Yamamoto> No I'm at the same old place
<klokwkdog> good for YOU Cat!!
<klokwkdog> yeah, dem 12-tone blues
<Dexter_Fong> Been atonal for so long sounds like harmony to me
<kend^> be fair now, the rep 12-tone is good too
<uhmeow> well, as i'm supposed to be Working, i figure i can afford to
read all those premium article i've been wanting to read
<Comrade_Yamamoto> all at the same time
<klokwkdog> CY - get thee to www.bbc.co.uk/proms and revel in this
summer's premier classical broadcasts!
<Dexter_Fong> Kend: With your shoe thing, I figure you maybe have a pair
of 12-tomes?
<klokwkdog> groan
<kend^> 12-tomes? you been into my books again?
<Dexter_Fong> You're on the books ken
<uhmeow> there is very little music that i like, but one delightful
thing about salon premiums is a great song by Laura Nyro i'd never
heard, on their site
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Hope I can run BBC on dialup
<klokwkdog> I ran it on 56K more or less
<uhmeow> i didnt even know she was dead
<klokwkdog> the fidelity is not that good on Broadband, so you aren't
losing anything via dialup
<klokwkdog> I run BBC 3 all night sometimes
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Got a 404
<uhmeow> fidelity excellent on the salon tune
<klokwkdog> (sometimes I run 3WK ;-)
<Comrade_Yamamoto> wait a minute
<klokwkdog> huh? on http://www.bbc.co.uk/proms ?
<Dexter_Fong> I run the back roads so I wont get weighed
<klokwkdog> yes, and I was surprised at the quality on the Flaming Lips
site after too many RealAudio stations
<Comrade_Yamamoto> y gave me a 404
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Okay
<klokwkdog> try this, tomorrow's:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/proms/whatson/dailyevents/0308.shtml
<klokwkdog> it's at 2PM EDT, 7PM at Royal Albert Hall, but standing in
line there is such a bother
<kend^> and you have to wear a tux
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Loading
<Comrade_Yamamoto> I don't want to look like a penguin'
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Here we go
<Dexter_Fong> Then stay off the ice
<klokwkdog> no, you can get prom tickets an hour before the show for £3, Ken
<kend^> i can afford to lose 3 pounds, i'm overweight anyhoo
<klokwkdog> it can be hot, so the standees don't usually dress as well
<Dexter_Fong> Ken: The corsage will set yyou back adout 10 bob
<klokwkdog> the other seats are long-since sold out anyway
<Comrade_Yamamoto> 3 Pounds of dollars?
<kend^> i don't know 10 bobs
<uhmeow> sapho was a poet, billy was a real musician
<klokwkdog> maybe it's £6 now
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Bob's got the good seats
<Comrade_Yamamoto> that's what 15 bucks?
<kend^> i wonder if the euro symbol works in here? i don't know the code
for it though
<Dexter_Fong> Catulus was a poet. Dylan was a real musician
<kend^> one pound = about $1.50 now
<klokwkdog> ah, here it is, £4 - split the diffrnc
<uhmeow> louise's church, laury nyro song on my salon speakers at present
<Dexter_Fong> 3 bucks
<Comrade_Yamamoto> If you've run winblows update lately, the Euro symbol
is in there somewhere
<uhmeow> never heard any of her 90s music until now, loved her 60s stuff
<kend^> euro roughly equal to $, but up and down
<klokwkdog> you can't do it with Code 850, Ken, you need WinXP or ME,
likely, if you haven't upgraded with the patches.
<uhmeow> didnt even know she was dead
<kend^> i'm win98 here
<klokwkdog> she passed some time back, yes
<Dexter_Fong> Were' all winners
<uhmeow> spliff the diff?
<Dexter_Fong> Stunt the blunt
<Comrade_Yamamoto> You need XP/ME
<kend^> speaking of spliff, item on bbc science or health site about
cannabis preventing anxiety and panic attacks
<Dexter_Fong> R
<klokwkdog> a minor revival, but not the usual garish flood of chintzy
reissues and fake tributes by teary fellow musicians
<Dexter_Fong> Ken: That's news?
<klokwkdog> I believe it, Ken
<kend^> well, it's proven now, dex
<uhmeow> yeah i saw that on brokaw yesterday, kend
<klokwkdog> mass quantities going to Baghdad
<klokwkdog> Wall Street
<klokwkdog> DC
<Dexter_Fong> Ken: Sorry iwasn't paying attention, what? =)
<uhmeow> and an hour about how harmful the war on drugs is to amercians
on disney owned abc the other night
<klokwkdog> but it's OK, it's OK, you will soon be getting lots of khat
<uhmeow> are we winning the media? i dont believe it
<Dexter_Fong> Kends getting 2 khats
<klokwkdog> like I said, lots of khat...
<klokwkdog> for pets or food?
<uhmeow> the michael moore flick?
* Dexter_Fong sings.."You've gotta have khat, miles and miles of khat...."
* kend^ sings: "no, no, no, i don't smoke it no more...."
<uhmeow> i heard from a friend who did a lot of it when he was in
africa, it's very speedy
<klokwkdog> hide all your sudafed. a friend's cat ate one or more and
had strokes, seizures, etc., is still afflicted, but using the litter
box again
*** Comrade_Yamamoto is now known as Comra
<uhmeow> i prefer induced mellow to induced speed
<kend^> i think i'll stick to caffeine for that speedy feeling
<klokwkdog> kava
<Dexter_Fong> Geeti Comra
<klokwkdog> coca leaves
<kend^> or speedy alka-seltzer
<uhmeow> sudafed= ephedrine, the drug of choice by my daughter's killer
<Dexter_Fong> Speedy mellow for me fellahs
*** Comra is now known as Comrade_Yamamoto
<klokwkdog> yeah, one click short of crystal meth
<uhmeow> coca leaves have kept the inca from extinction for centuries
<klokwkdog> could've fooled me...
<Comrade_Yamamoto> didn't work
<kend^> and thousands of dea agents from extinction, also
<Dexter_Fong> lol k
<uhmeow> i think the inca will outlast all the eveil schemes of the dea,
the pope, and everyone else who will never live in the andes with them
<klokwkdog> well, we have forest fighters starting fires to make sure
they have work...
<kend^> usps workers arrested here for stealing cd's from mail, then
pawning them
<klokwkdog> you can't live in the Andes with them
<Dexter_Fong> The Inca's are fighting forest fires?
<uhmeow> car companies making prematurely obsolescent vehicles to
guarantee a market
<klokwkdog> your hemocrit is too low for you to survive
<kend^> epo is the answer, ask that latvian cyclist's wife
<klokwkdog> the government starting wars so the defense industry has work...
<klokwkdog> so why not dea agents...
<uhmeow> yeah, there's a lot of that going aroudn
<Dexter_Fong> I didn't even know those dea guys had agents
<klokwkdog> you're exactly right about that, Cat: West Nile is now in 37
states
<kend^> cat, i sent you the story about american's fleeing to canada for
pot prosecution and claiming asylum, didn't i?
<klokwkdog> that's why they're so full of corruption -- it's those 20% fees
<Dexter_Fong> 20%!!!!!I'm paying 35%!!!
<kend^> you need a new agent, dex
<Dexter_Fong> I'm movin' outta orange county
<klokwkdog> yeah, like Mr. Clean
<uhmeow> agent orange
<kend^> "rent-an-agent 555-1212"
<uhmeow> indeed, kend. i watch their webcast
<Dexter_Fong> "Hi...I'm you're agent ....let's talk dirty
<klokwkdog> get secret agent man!
<kend^> the best agents are in mena, arkansas, i hear
<uhmeow> patrick mcgoohan or joseph conrad?
<uhmeow> orange county? i thought you were in nyc
<klokwkdog> hey, BTW, is it against the law to talk dirty to some
stranger who calls selling something?
<Dexter_Fong> One of you here prolly is a prisoner fan...Is the big
trial scene with the guy singing "Dem Bones" the last episode?
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Bah, can't get BBC 3 audio for some reason
<kend^> well, nyc used to be dutch, house of orange ran holland, ergo,
orange county
<klokwkdog> but #2 just died!
<Dexter_Fong> Well done! Kend^ =))
<klokwkdog> (of course, all the #2s died in the end...)
<uhmeow> i wonder about that. Fumiyo keeps telling me to tell these
endless fuckers who call during dinner to fuck off, but i wonder if
that'll just get them madder
<uhmeow> it's like dealing with crazy dogs, you gotta avoid them Carefully
<kend^> i can stretch logic to the breaking point!
<klokwkdog> no, Cat, I was thinking of starting by asking what they're
wearing...
<Dexter_Fong> Cat: seriously...I just tell em I'm eating dinner and then
hang up
<klokwkdog> ...and how maybe we could meet somewhere to discuss this
wonderful opportunity in depth
<kend^> i just leave my computer connected all the time, no one ever
disturbs me by calling
<klokwkdog> I know some good rest stops
<uhmeow> i only answer them when i'm expecint a call from someone
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Caller ID?
<uhmeow> we've had that for many years, but many ids dont work
<klokwkdog> you need RealAudio, CY
<Dexter_Fong> Well, it's time to avoid the Giant Toad....will remain
logging...night to all who leave...and see whoever doesn't leter
<uhmeow> people we need to hear from are labelled "private caller" and such
<uhmeow> bye dex
<kend^> later, ash
<Comrade_Yamamoto> If I get an unidentifed Id on my phone, I don't answer
<klokwkdog> beyond that, dunno; it works for me and it worked on 56K
dialup, although haven't tried that; can't now or I'd lose the chat
(which I have to do shortly anyway, but then can't tell you anything ;-)
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Klok-I have Realaudio 8
<uhmeow> but when everyone is unidentified, what do you do?
<klokwkdog> nite Dex
<kend^> if i get anything on my caller id that's unknown and local, i
call them back to see who they are
<klokwkdog> shoudl work then; dunno
<klokwkdog> I listened to the 2000 season via dialup
<uhmeow> i have 2 different caller id hardwares on 2 dif phones. they
give me dif info, but not what i need to know
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Do I need the credit card versuion?
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Maybe I have to enter the url into realaudio
<Comrade_Yamamoto> I'll open real audio
<klokwkdog> no, I'm using the free version
<kend^> gentilemen: i'm off, see you all next time. will remain logging
under other name. g'nite
<klokwkdog> http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/ram/r3g2.ram
<klokwkdog> nite Ken
<uhmeow> of yo u go, kend
<klokwkdog> is the URL I use, CY
*** Part: kend^ (K...@1Cust60.tnt2.three-rivers.mi.da.uu.net)
<klokwkdog> RealAudio has become real nasty about wanting a credit card,
even for "free" version, but Netscape 6.2.3 comes with built-in
RealAudio 8 that works fine - no phony registration-then-cancel move
required. Haven't tested that with dialup, though.
<Comrade_Yamamoto> that should do
<Comrade_Yamamoto> There we go
<uhmeow> astrobotnia, the only other good track i've heard on the salon
preumium site thus far, after laura
<klokwkdog> what's that?
<uhmeow> i must get that, klok
<Comrade_Yamamoto> I have it connected
<Comrade_Yamamoto> I got realaudio w/aol
<Comrade_Yamamoto> and we're on
<klokwkdog> "You're listening to BBC Radio 3...!"
<Comrade_Yamamoto> sort of
<Comrade_Yamamoto> rebuffering
<klokwkdog> Oh, AOL!! Ah, AOL is a real nightmare to do RealAudio with!
No wonder!
<Comrade_Yamamoto> AOL is a nightmare for anything
<klokwkdog> They route world+dog thru Tyson's Corner first or something.
<klokwkdog> Ah, sorry
<Comrade_Yamamoto> But it is a half decent firewall
<klokwkdog> I had a cheap local ISP
<klokwkdog> which, yes, now sends more spam in a day than I formerly got
my entire life
<uhmeow> those dumb horses, they don't mind
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Spam levels are VERY low
<klokwkdog> The trick there I guess is to get cheap local ISP, disable
the mail, and use a Yahoo account or something
<uhmeow> an interesting lyric on eileen rose's tune good man
<klokwkdog> If you have Netscape 6.2.3 installed, it will plug RIGHT
into Netscape/AOL's web mail system like it was a POP
<klokwkdog> but it won't retrieve AOL mail
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Because of the way AOL works, nothing can get into
your computer w/o you saying it can
<uhmeow> whatr was that great tune about horses, maybe 30 years ago. was
it the byrds? kinda spoken word thing
<uhmeow> fuckin awesom
<uhmeow> think it was a single
<klokwkdog> horses? courses?
<uhmeow> of course, off course
<Comrade_Yamamoto> MR Ed=Richard Nixon?
<klokwkdog> My Netscape mailer now shows me 5 email accounts: two cable
modem, one dialup ISP, one freenet and one web mail. Fetches all or any
single one on demand
<uhmeow> nah. ed was cool
<klokwkdog> what Byrds song? I'm going to catch that horse if I can?
<uhmeow> phil austin played him in an old firesign play you probably
dont have
<Comrade_Yamamoto> Okay
<klokwkdog> he's pulling rank on us again
<uhmeow> i asked him to play mr ed again in red shift, but he demurred,
played dalai lama instead
<uhmeow> yeah, that's it klok
<uhmeow> maybe 69 or so?
<klokwkdog> I tried dali lama, but couldn't find his number
<uhmeow> i played that on the radio in 69-70
<uhmeow> but forget what or who it was
<uhmeow> that is a very long time ago
<klokwkdog> oh, it's on the constant rotation list for AAA radio along
with Ruby Tuesday, Wild Horses, Stairway to Heaven and Hotel California
<uhmeow> know not of that
<uhmeow> i'm only on the radio telling tales about bit
<uhmeow> fucked if i know what music is being played
<uhmeow> that's why i'm listening to the salon premium site now
<Comrade_Yamamoto> gonna sack out
<Comrade_Yamamoto> later all
<uhmeow> my y
<uhmeow> by
*** Quit: Comrade_Yamamoto (Quit: Jüting)
<klokwkdog> Chestnut Mare - that's it
<klokwkdog> nite Mr. Y
<uhmeow> indeed
<uhmeow> you know alan price?
<klokwkdog> O Lucky Man!
<uhmeow> indeed
<klokwkdog> We All Want Justice, But You Have to Have The Money to Buy It
<klokwkdog> Every One is Going Through Changes
<uhmeow> i hadn't evne unpacked my reel to reel machine until this week
and then i wanted to hear that song and it was only on reel
<klokwkdog> Unemployed, I walk in circles thru my neighborhood
<uhmeow> even better is his Jarrow Lads tune on the next album, which i
bought the week Fumiyo and I were married b ut now hav eonly only on
reel and forget the name of it
<klokwkdog> The soundtrack to O Lucky Man! is on one of the tapes I
trudge to 4 days a week
<klokwkdog> hence the comment about the ice cream parlor - 3.5 mi. is
too far; I'm barely up to walking that one way right now
<uhmeow> yes, lucky man is one of the albums i've listend to more than
most in the past 30 yeqrs
<klokwkdog> you can find the album on CDNOW.com, perhaps
<klokwkdog> I went looking for Price a couple years back to find out
what happened (after being distressed by what I found with Jade Warrior)
<uhmeow> i walked 2 miles a day (up hill one, down the other) in july,
this month will ascend the hill twice, next month 3 ties daily for a 6
mile walk
<uhmeow> when the roman hills smile before me, my legs will be ready
<klokwkdog> He was still around when I checked, but not doing much
<uhmeow> at least he's not dead
<klokwkdog> I'm up to 8-9 circuits at 0.5 mi ea.
<klokwkdog> Yeah, but he's getting no respect
<uhmeow> i wasnt a big fan of the animals\but i loved when dylan asked
him, so what are the animals doing for an organist, in the Dont Look
<uhmeow> BBack flick
<klokwkdog> The "Chocolate Sandwich" sequence in the film keeps it from
being shown uncut, and it's usually cut because it's awful long, too
<klokwkdog> WPKN aired the DVD commentary track on that and it's one I
definitely want to rent.
<klokwkdog> I NEVER saw that
<uhmeow> see it
<klokwkdog> Dylan and Baez jamming Johnny Cash in UK hotel...
<uhmeow> wow
<uhmeow> there's an old guy (i'm far from young) walking down the alley
outside my window in a military uniform
<uhmeow> as if from a parade
<klokwkdog> It started at 2AM and I stayed up all night listening to
this running commentary by the filmmakers
<uhmeow> it is a surreal world
<klokwkdog> hmm, not Anzac day
<klokwkdog> every day reminds us of that, you more than most, I guess
<uhmeow> we don't need to be any weirder than the world is just to
appreciate that
<uhmeow> and you havent even heard any of my plays
<klokwkdog> yep, but amid all the turmoil and splashing waves, there is
a definite tide to existence for each and the collective
<uhmeow> the firesigns, who are delighted to be in them, always tell me,
i'm weirder than even they can comprehend
<klokwkdog> only one
<Dexter_Fong> Back
<klokwkdog> he's back!
<uhmeow> thankfully that's not meant as an insult
<klokwkdog> and he's beautiful!
<klokwkdog> speak for yourself, Canadian

<Dexter_Fong> at once
<Bone-E-Boi> Anybody got the bird's eye lowdown on FST (whatever that
means) so I can post it to my web log?
<klokwkdog> it was Tolstoy, right?

<klokwkdog> in the US, you had to be Ted Turner to get a word in edgewise
<klokwkdog> and mostly since TT never stops, you can't get a word in
edgewise
<uhmeow> klok, the flick is called La Jette. one of the best flicks i've
ever seen and the greatest influence on my idea of cinema of any flick
<klokwkdog> It is being writ down as you type, Cat
<uhmeow> when you see my flicks, you'll say to yourself, wow, that sure
looks like a flick made by someone who was seriously into La Jette
<Dexter_Fong> La Jette = The jump?
<klokwkdog> He once told Dick Cavett that "one more man must die" before
he could tell what he did in the Resistance; I was hoping that could
come out now, but it hasn't that I've seen
<uhmeow> la jette is like firesign, it is a different way of
experiencing a medium, that, if you are also creative, makes you want to
invent one of your own
<klokwkdog> Yeah, like a low-rent version of Seven Days (which had its
comic moments, too)
<uhmeow> no, jette means a kind of section of an airport, a tarmac, as
it were, dont know enough french, but it refers to a section of the
paris airport where, "things happen"
<klokwkdog> I'm enjoying the Nero Wolfe series, which is made in Canada.
Quite well.
<Dexter_Fong> In Ballet, theirs a Grande Jette..there's

*** Quit: uhmeow (Quit: )
<klokwkdog> not a big mystery fan, so there has to be pretty high
quality or a really stunning actress involved (Wolfe company has several
in rotation). nite Cat
<klokwkdog> I think I'll leave you to BEB now; I'm in need of dinner, too...
<Dexter_Fong> Klok: Having read many of the wolfe mysteries many years
ago...interesting to see them realized
<klokwkdog> I had no idea that they existed until I went to the show site
<klokwkdog> not encouraged enough to read them
<Dexter_Fong> To each his own =)
<klokwkdog> my last mystery, if you can call it that, was Peter Hoeg's
Borderliners, which is about someone named Peter Hoeg...
<Dexter_Fong> Not familiar with it, klok
<klokwkdog> you may remember him as
<Dexter_Fong> Yes?
<Dexter_Fong> The Man with No Name?
<Dexter_Fong> The Man Without a Country?
<Dexter_Fong> The Invisible Man?
* Dexter_Fong indicates lengthy passage of time
<klokwkdog> the person who wrote Smilla's Sense of Snow
<klokwkdog> sorry
<klokwkdog> fading
<Dexter_Fong> I read that...very interesting read klok
<klokwkdog> so-so movie
<Dexter_Fong> yes
<klokwkdog> but if you read book and want more Hoeg...
<klokwkdog> Borderliners is total mind-f
<Dexter_Fong> well... it appears as if Bone-E is seriously afk, so I'm
thinking of closing up here too
<klokwkdog> not a good relaxing book to read on a summer vacation in the
countery
<klokwkdog> which is where I read it
<klokwkdog> think the book for the movie Se7en
<Dexter_Fong> I don't read alot generally, but if I get some time away,
I'll read a book a day
<Bone-E-Boi> BEB = BRB?
<klokwkdog> about people twisted in the head that will seriously twist
one's head (or at least mine), even in translation
<Dexter_Fong> BRB = Be Real Bone-E
<Bone-E-Boi> How could klokwkdog "leave you to me"?
<klokwkdog> me neither
<klokwkdog> it's in my will
<Dexter_Fong> I'm his bequest
<Dexter_Fong> Daddy!!!!
<Bone-E-Boi> I'm plowed to be an owned man
<klokwkdog> I read Cold Mountain, Borderliners, and one other then
<Dexter_Fong> All Hoeg?
<klokwkdog> we're waiting for the inheritance tax to be repealed first
<Bone-E-Boi> Colin Bowel.
<klokwkdog> otherwise, DF will be deprecated
<klokwkdog> no
<Dexter_Fong> I'm plowed to be defecated
<klokwkdog> CM is NC author, I wanted to read that book so bad
<klokwkdog> that I took the library's "large print" version for seniors,
the only one left
<Dexter_Fong> heh..you tar Heels will stop at nothing
<klokwkdog> This year, undecided: I get a vacation (heh-heh)
<Dexter_Fong> But there *is* something in the works, Yes, klok?
<klokwkdog> One on the list is "The Trial of Henry Kissenger". Another,
which I can't find in library, is "Can Asians Think?"
<Bone-E-Boi> I was in the bathroom. I missed everything.
<Dexter_Fong> Ask ummeow?
<klokwkdog> get a mop
<Dexter_Fong> Clean up in there then Bone
<klokwkdog> no Ash, grim here
<Dexter_Fong> =( sorry...
<klokwkdog> 8 weeks and I'm still burned out by the last 2 years, pretty
much. that's why i'm walking so much, hoping to clear my head and flood
in the endorphins
<klokwkdog> also the stress made me fat
<klokwkdog> ;-)
<Dexter_Fong> Sure: eat to battle stress
<Dexter_Fong> Look at Santa...all those presents...all those kids
<klokwkdog> actually, I didn't think I was eating that much
<Dexter_Fong> Perhaps you were eating well but not wisely?
<klokwkdog> but the thing is, whenever I got home, on weekends, I was a
wreck, slept a lot and didn't move around very much
<klokwkdog> no, I was actually not eating enough, but was becoming less
and less active
<Dexter_Fong> klok: You were often pretty frazzled thursday nights too =))
<Bone-E-Boi> A clean Colin Bowel is essential for a healthy body politick.
<klokwkdog> it was like: crawl into the cave and hide until time to come
out again
<Dexter_Fong> And we're here for the 40th annual Colin Bowl pageant and
parade
<klokwkdog> I was usually testing stuff while doing that
<klokwkdog> yikes! that's getting me down - I need to, er, stuff my
face with food ;-)). Actually, I first have to do some sit-ups, THEN
eat and that will make it very, very late now
<klokwkdog> aidos
<Dexter_Fong> Night klok =)
<Dexter_Fong> and aidos
<klokwkdog> evenin' Ash, B-E-B

<Bone-E-Boi> Take care, klokwk
<Bone-E-Boi> Guess we're all health conscious these days.
<Dexter_Fong> At least conscious of our lack of it
<Dexter_Fong> So..how's things your way Bone-E
<Bone-E-Boi> Did DocTechnical and Westley drop in earlier?
<Dexter_Fong> Bf was here....Doc T and Lili off to canada to visit her
daughter
<Bone-E-Boi> Doc T and Lili aren't the same person?
<Dexter_Fong> Could be...could be
<Bone-E-Boi> I just assumed he had no strong gender preference. Or maybe
several.
<Dexter_Fong> DT or Lili?
<Bone-E-Boi> Good question.
<Dexter_Fong> ummm...
* Dexter_Fong takes a bite
<Dexter_Fong> Lili is real..have met her
<Dexter_Fong> So is doc for that matter
<Bone-E-Boi> ...and Peggy Blisswhips?
<Dexter_Fong> I believe so....=) after TDT passed, she emailed Cat so...??
<Bone-E-Boi> What about Betty Jo Biolowsky?
<Dexter_Fong> Now you're getting personal fellah. Maybe you'd like to
bend a couple in the DooDah room
<Bone-E-Boi> She'd moved to a refurbished marijuana plantation in the
hills about Santa Cruz....
<Dexter_Fong> It was beautifully decorated in hempen fabrics
<Bone-E-Boi> Refurbs were all the rage that year. But I'd never forget
that scent.
<Dexter_Fong> It was seeds and stems
<Bone-E-Boi> I've got to hit the head. Er, showers. Sack.
<Dexter_Fong> And petulie
<Bone-E-Boi> NIte.
