<CurtisLeMay> Not good
<DocTechnical> indefensible
<Regnad_Kcin> one nation, one big mall
<CurtisLeMay> This SP1 istaking a good long time to install...
<Regnad_Kcin> indefenseable
<uhmeow> yet it gave birth to the firesign, so it cant be all bad
<Regnad_Kcin> ty doc
<Rotonoto> you could get yourself arrested for not wrapping yourself in
the flag
<Bubbas_Brain> and with bigotry and just ice for all.
<klokwkdog> right, whereas in Canada, people just disappear and when
authorities are asked, they mumble about Official Secrets Act
<CurtisLeMay> I have two wrapped around me
<Regnad_Kcin> with paternaty and just ice for the small

<Bubbas_Brain> the lord god love the mall.
<klokwkdog> Cat: as long as FST or anyone does not sufficiently disturb
the 9 or 10 guys who really run things, they are OK
<Dexter_Fong> Can 4 or 5 guys disturb 9 or 10 guys?
<DocTechnical> don't i recall that the saying "may you live in
interesting times" is actually a curse?
<CurtisLeMay> Yes
<Dexter_Fong> Yes Doc...Chinese
* Rotonoto remembers the scene in "Network" when Howard Beale gets
shewed out by the corporate exec...
<DocTechnical> only 2/3 of the time
<Regnad_Kcin> speaking of THHGTTG, anyone remember the footnote about
the presidency in the first book?
<Bubbas_Brain> dont you recall that?
<uhmeow> you remember correctly, doc
<klokwkdog> DF: yes -- if you push something hard enough, it WILL fall
over. But we haven't done that since the '70s
<CurtisLeMay> Things have gotten intersting for me lately....

<CurtisLeMay> actually, they're bang on w/the Mexican imitations
<Rotonoto> I shall download Netscrapr 7 just to spite them
<DocTechnical> i remember when all we had to program with were ones and
zersos - sometimes we ran out of zeroes and had to substitute them with
the capital letter 'O'
<klokwkdog> I never thought much about Bumrungrad, either, but I'm
thinking about it now.
<uhmeow> send me the woman who'll bleed on my sheets, and then help me
fold them
<uhmeow> ossman's laundry poem
<Dexter_Fong> Cat: Don't you have to hang them out the iwndow first?
<klokwkdog> DT - in the South, we weren't able to afford ANY zeroes.
<Rotonoto> yeah, Doc- we resorted to stripping beads off of our abaci
and using them for zeros
<Bubbas_Brain> there's a limit on zeroes???? a lack of nothing?
<Bubbas_Brain> We lack for nothing here, doc.
<Dexter_Fong> Get off my abacci
<Regnad_Kcin> speaking of spyware...

<klokwkdog> The whole Peachtree Street mafia is gone, replaced by an
anemic bunch of struggling DSP software houses and hip-hop/rap moguls
<Regnad_Kcin> neat little box. dropped by ibm as soon as it came out
<DocTechnical> b_b: well, since you put it so colorfully... yes, we are!
<Dexter_Fong> I saw a 1937 boat-tail Auburn recently
<CurtisLeMay> I have a borgendorfer pocket computer w/led display somewhere
<Regnad_Kcin> memory upgrd somehow slapped onto a printer
<DocTechnical> roto: i have a zx81 too

<uhmeow> i turn my head an tech talk takes over
<Regnad_Kcin> that's right cat
<Dexter_Fong> Yep

<uhmeow> every one you know, like air, trapped inside glass vials

<DocTechnical> roto: no it just ran out (it was a radio battery, not a
car battery)
<uhmeow> i'm listening to my new files of them
* Regnad_Kcin is gonna hook up that peltier and waterblock one day.......
<klokwkdog> ah, nothing like a firesign chat on a medium that requires
more than a modicum of tech knowledge (and you cannot escape, you CD
producer, you) to get into and participate, eh?
<Dexter_Fong> Baby let me test your tubes
<DocTechnical> ossmosis
<klokwkdog> what, we're going to bitch about golf and the price of beer?
<Rotonoto> heck- a hundred will get you a nice used Pentium 2

<Regnad_Kcin> ront - dumpster diving will getchoo a nice p2
<CurtisLeMay> I got a 266 dell for $95
<uhmeow> he trained his mind to do this long long ago
<klokwkdog> surprise: to a first approximation, all the computers in the
world costs < $1
<klokwkdog> er, cost
<Bubbas_Brain> that 16 meg is 4000 times more than the vic-20 had....
<Rotonoto> I can open windows with my mind but I can't keep these bozos

<klokwkdog> cats drool due to age or hunger; I haven't figured out radiators

<Bubbas_Brain> radiator leaks prevent cat drool???
<Rotonoto> sly drool?
<CurtisLeMay> This is a 1 1/2 yr old cat
<klokwkdog> yep, if the cats drink enough anti-freeze, BB
<Bubbas_Brain> Sly and the Family Drool.

<Dexter_Fong> every
<CurtisLeMay> The teller is named "Nick"
<klokwkdog> If you let sardines get a little iffy by leaving out in the
sun a day or so, then wipe anything a cat does not want through them, it
can become overpoweringly attractive to them
<uhmeow> stevie?
<CurtisLeMay> I had a toyota

<uhmeow> and you never let go?
<CurtisLeMay> Stevie is one cat, I have Rob Roy, Tommy and Kathy
<klokwkdog> Oh yeah, Fleet: right behind BofA in the way it's gobbled up
everything
* Dexter_Fong hums "what you say, brother man"
<klokwkdog> I got out of that one fast.
<Regnad_Kcin> i ran into a toyota once

<CurtisLeMay> NJ plates
<klokwkdog> I had a rental Tercel about 20 years ago, and thought it was
an abomination until the rental company replaced it with a Datsun 210
*** Join: Noser (some...@h00500480bd93.ne.client2.attbi.com)
<Dexter_Fong> Hey Noser
<CurtisLeMay> Woman didn't notice the huge EZ Pass sign until she was on
it, and changed lanes 2 ft from my front bumper
<klokwkdog> The Datsun was scary - driving on dry pavement in it was
like driving on ice in other cars
<Regnad_Kcin> datsun eh? did it start up with a cord?
<uhmeow> nose man
<klokwkdog> just about
<CurtisLeMay> My mom had a B210 waggon
<Dexter_Fong> Cord was a great auto
<CurtisLeMay> an off white-gren
<CurtisLeMay> green
<uhmeow> you should be driving a cord 810
<Rotonoto> Toyota and Mitsubishi both interesting if you mask off last
letter
<Bubbas_Brain> I gotta go --- I'm gonna install "Worms Triple Pack"
<CurtisLeMay> about the size of a large shoebox
<klokwkdog> I drove the Tercel into the worst early winter storm in the
Maritimes in 15 years and just about didn't come out the other side.
<uhmeow> a neal cassady line from Neal Amid
<Dexter_Fong> See yah Bub
<Rotonoto> no- in case of Mitsubishi, add a "T" at the end
<CurtisLeMay> later
<DocTechnical> nite
<Bubbas_Brain> TTFN
<uhmeow> speaking of which, kend emailed me url to great npr show about
kerouac this week
<uhmeow> ya'll here it?
* Noser throws a sheep at Bubbas_Brain, which explodes.
<CurtisLeMay> I drive a ford Tempo
<uhmeow> by bub
<Rotonoto> nite bubs
<Regnad_Kcin> think i'ma gonna eat mine food and watch monk
<klokwkdog> It would help, CLeM, if that &$^% E-Z Pass stuff didn't fill
all but one of the 150 toll booths on the Whitestone.
<Regnad_Kcin> later all
<Regnad_Kcin> anybody want the log?
<Bubbas_Brain> Thanks, Noser.
<klokwkdog> nite BB, RK
*** Quit: Bubbas_Brain (Quit: )
<CurtisLeMay> I have one :)
<uhmeow> reg
<Regnad_Kcin> better yet, reg...@rcnchicago.com
<CurtisLeMay> I love EZ Pass
<klokwkdog> I'm a lumberjack and that's OK, but no log for me 2day
<Regnad_Kcin> for log
<DocTechnical> cat: yeah i caught that npr kerouac story on the way into
work - it was indeed well done
<Regnad_Kcin> (well.... somebody collects them hehe)
<klokwkdog> Yeah, but those of us who are forced to traverse NYC 1ce in
a blue moon hate its guts
<Dexter_Fong> Reg: Maybe email it to Kend^?
<uhmeow> it has the tape of neal and jack on it
<Regnad_Kcin> nytol
<uhmeow> that mrs cassady told me about
<Rotonoto> nite reg
<uhmeow> wow
<Regnad_Kcin> don't have kend's email
<Dexter_Fong> Hey watch that stuff klok
<uhmeow> by reg
<Dexter_Fong> Night Reg
<DocTechnical> cat, have you checked out the cassady stuff availble
through key-z.com?
<Dexter_Fong> Reg: I'm logging Ill send it to him
<uhmeow> just go to npr.org and search: jack kerouac
<CurtisLeMay> later
<uhmeow> new stuff, doc?
<uhmeow> i must hear it
<klokwkdog> Well, you figure being stacked up out the wazoo on that
bridge for hours on Thanksgiving because there are 50,000 E-Z Pass
tollbooths and only one cash one.
<uhmeow> my contention in Neal Amid is that Neal Cassady was to our
language what Jackie Robinson was to US basebal
<klokwkdog> It would be better if they didn't charge $50/month just to
have the thing.
<Dexter_Fong> You got EZ pass klok?
<DocTechnical> http://www.key-z.com/AUDIO.html - neal at the wheel, #s 1
and 2
<CurtisLeMay> It's worth it
<CurtisLeMay> As much as I use the thruway
<Dexter_Fong> Klok: Who charges 50 a month just to have it?
<CurtisLeMay> prlly NJ
<Dexter_Fong> Not NY Curt
<CurtisLeMay> They're not administering it well
<klokwkdog> what do you think, DF?
<DocTechnical> re npr kerouac link -
http://www.npr.org/programs/morning/features/patc/ontheroad/index.html
<Dexter_Fong> We've had it for several years,,well worth it
<CurtisLeMay> No-NJ
<CurtisLeMay> Definitely
<CurtisLeMay> I use mine quite often
<CurtisLeMay> I live on the Thruway
<Dexter_Fong> Went to Delaware recen tly..only one pay toll...all the
rest EZ pass
<uhmeow> i have the at the wheel stuff, i think
<klokwkdog> there is also the fact that E-Z Pass can be used not only at
tolls, but other points to track individual vehicles. There are
discussions of how to craft tin foil covers for them to prevent this.
<uhmeow> i sent it to austin to prep him for playing neal
<uhmeow> he was apppalleed
<DocTechnical> appalled? why?
<uhmeow> tiz hard to listen to
<Dexter_Fong> Klok: I love you but you are a bit paranoid =))
<CurtisLeMay> Too much trouble to use EZ Pass as a tracker
<uhmeow> or so he appeared to me, doc.
<CurtisLeMay> You need transponder gantries
<uhmeow> can find exact letter and quote exactly but not on computer
<uhmeow> it is indeed raving
<uhmeow> the guy ginzberg begins howl with
<klokwkdog> maybe it's only $5, but that's ¼ my ISP rate. I don't like
paying that for an occasional trip, and I resent penalizing honest
citizens who want to pay cash. I'd be willing to use tokens if I can
buy a roll and use them for several years or in different tolls in NY/NJ
<uhmeow> which may have begun with his own howl from neal
<uhmeow> a tolled area?
<Dexter_Fong> Klok: In MY there's no service fee, plus you get a
discount for using it
<Dexter_Fong> New York
<uhmeow> tolled away, tolled away, oh where do i go when i'm toad away
<CurtisLeMay> Klok: NY won't do tokens. They even killed exact change
lanes in 2k1
<klokwkdog> the info packet the Whitstone chick gave me said it was
$4.95/mo whether it's used or not.
<CurtisLeMay> It's a 50% discount on NYSBA bridges, 25 on the Thruway IIRC
<CurtisLeMay> Port authority. No wonder
<Dexter_Fong> Klok: In NYSm there is *no* service charge
<klokwkdog> Stop and Shop has U-Checkout lines that one operates
themselves, and my local ATM card will pay at either robot or human
checkout for NO fee. I don't like fees whether something is used or not.
<CurtisLeMay> Those suckers would steal the gold out of yr teeth
<uhmeow> has anyone seen china beach recently?
<Dexter_Fong> Cat: Thought that program was cancelled several years ago
<klokwkdog> I have to get THROUGH NYC on occasion, and it's gotten worse
and worse getting thru the tolls.
<klokwkdog> the TV show or the place?
<uhmeow> reruns just began on our history tv network this week
<CurtisLeMay> Vietman's in reruns I think
<uhmeow> one of the best photographed shows i've ever seen
<klokwkdog> It was running in weave with "Black Sheep Squadron" on History
<uhmeow> low tolerance on the moton though
<Dexter_Fong> I liked CB, thought it was well done
<uhmeow> indeed
<CurtisLeMay> Mutton?
<Dexter_Fong> Mouton Rothschild?
<uhmeow> motown. motor city
<CurtisLeMay> Never saw it
<klokwkdog> It's interesting to see well-known (or well-forgotten)
actors on C. Beach, B.S. Squadron, Hill Street or St. Elsewhere in their
long-ago form
<Dexter_Fong> You don't have a tv Curt, remember
<uhmeow> mouton rouge

but it's too short for lodestone and i cannot conceive of it, or
frankly, anhy of my other projects as being commercial.
<klokwkdog> The thing is, it's derivative, and those who actually heard
Robt. Johnson will say, "yeah, this guy is good, I can see where he's
coming from, but all his licks..." and we'll listen to some cat and say,
"yeah, good, but I remember [loudon W., Dylan, Ochs, etx.{..."
<uhmeow> you're only 35, curtis? i have shirts older than you

<Rotonoto> Doctor No!
<Dexter_Fong> Okay Cat; enjoy the History of the Art and see you next
time, and others I bid adieu to, will remain logging and check back upon
return
<DocTechnical> proof that bozo existed!
<DocTechnical> no shoes doctor
<Rotonoto> Doctor Maybe, Doctor Curley...
<uhmeow> by dex
<DocTechnical> ok df
<Rotonoto> bye guy
<Dexter_Fong> Nighties
<klokwkdog> POOF! That bozo existed, but no more (too much vacuum
pressure: an occasional Bozo winks out of existence, but we are stuck
with Bush)
<Rotonoto> "Toad away, toad awaaaaay..."
<uhmeow> a bird in the bush is worth two in the hand....of Satan!
<klokwkdog> rotate your tires, your parking place
<Rotonoto> quantum bozoettes scintillating in the illuminati dust
<uhmeow> hows it goin ,roto?
<klokwkdog> there are 8 million stories in the Naked City, and for a
place where everyone takes the subway or walks, most of them are ab out
cars
<uhmeow> ossman's poem for peter bergman, called 12 Suppositions, is
amazingly beautiful
<Noser> that's a lot of preparation H
<uhmeow> if not done already, you must send michael packer the
appropriate fee and buy this video of dave reading his poems in michigan
* klokwkdog was just going to suggest a parody called 12 Suppositories
<Rotonoto> 12 suppositories, eh?
<uhmeow> as good as the best firesign
<uhmeow> and really where his heart is at
<Rotonoto> hey cat
<klokwkdog> Didn't Marvin Looter nail a list of 12 Suppositories to the
door of Thai Food Mary's?
<uhmeow> looseners!
<klokwkdog> or Gilliam could make a movie of it
<uhmeow> of austin: he suffers from the madness
<Rotonoto> loostners *and* groat clusters- let's splurge!
<uhmeow> as a user of words, in tales and others, listening to this
makes me feel inferior, a higher level of achievement necessary just to
see above ground
<klokwkdog> doesn't he "live" in Las Vegas, if you can call it that? So
madness is understandable: it rolls downhill from the Temple at Salt
Lake City
<Rotonoto> if'n ya call that livin'...
<uhmeow> louise's church, laura nero tune on the salon site
<uhmeow> has a line: freda drew the moon
<Rotonoto> Nyro fiddled, Rome burned...
<klokwkdog> I don't use words, I just rent a few from time to time to get by
<uhmeow> kahlo, doc?
<uhmeow> does lili know this tune?
<uhmeow> i'll be driving thru sask listening to it while you're all here
next week
<DocTechnical> i don't know if she does or not cat
* klokwkdog finally got the pun by the Germans who developed "NERO
Burning CD-ROM" when he noticed that if one added an 'e'...
<DocTechnical> but i do know this: when the new movie about kahlo comes
out, we're gonna see it pronto
<klokwkdog> the important thing now is if SHE knows if she does or not
<DocTechnical> advance word is that salma hayak is brilliant in it
<uhmeow> no shit
<Rotonoto> add the e where?
<klokwkdog> at the end
<klokwkdog> as in ROMe!
<Rotonoto> I just got Nero Burning ROM on my new computer- better than
Adaptec
<Rotonoto> ahh- but of course!
<klokwkdog> The "burning CD-ROM" sounded like some Babelfish translation
that went wrong, but I could not think of any German precursor that
would foul up; it kept eating at me
<Rotonoto> Taxi! Ahhh, the taxi drivers are all on strike
<klokwkdog> anything is better than Adaptec
<uhmeow> ossmans city poem much resembles, inspired by imaginery cities
by famous italian dude, name forgotten
<uhmeow> calvino?
<Rotonoto> Adaptec at least works but Nero way better
<klokwkdog> they are specialists in SCSI h/w, drivers, and storage
systems, not CD burner s/w
<Rotonoto> I can see that now, klok
<uhmeow> yes, the reason this works like keroauc insists and instructs
you, the pacing and the tone and all must be right to turn words into
enchantments
<Rotonoto> leave it to the germans...
<uhmeow> ossman knows this
<klokwkdog> I felt very inadequate at that moment, Roto.
<uhmeow> speaking into microphones for money for decades would teach you
that
<klokwkdog> yes, that was why Ferlinghetti reading his poem was so much
fun in The Last Waltz
<Rotonoto> talent like that rare cat
<klokwkdog> oh, man!
<klokwkdog> you recogize the voice, it has power or shadings or even
whiffs of time gone by, like Don Pardo
<DocTechnical> we'll be bright black!
<klokwkdog> or John Cameron Swazee
<Rotonoto> "That's right, Bob..."
<DocTechnical> ...brought to you by pussy whip, the dessert topping for
cats...
<klokwkdog> Remember the episode of Mad About You where Reiser hires the
$$$ announcer for one of his films and then pisses him off?
<uhmeow> kerouac spent far too much time with his mother
<klokwkdog> It's one of those occupations that you think is like
Telephone Sterilizer or Middle Management, and then when you really need
one, you realize it's 'way harder than you think
<uhmeow> ossman is talking about hearing the music of the spheres, on
the Autobozographical vid
<klokwkdog> he apparently spent 'way too long in Lowell, too
<Noser> telephone sterilizing isn't that easy
<Rotonoto> there is a telephone sterilizer's union? hard to get into it?
<uhmeow> something so miraculous, you know now Why the firesign are so
good. it's not just that they[re that bright, or that clever.
<klokwkdog> what? 5 gal of kerosene and a match; works great
<klokwkdog> it's that 5th guy
<Noser> I don't know if it's union, but think about all the things that
people do on pay phones in the middle of the night when no one's looking
<klokwkdog> and infinite studio time
<uhmeow> it's that they've filetered their amazing experiences thru
those capacities, and then combined them
<klokwkdog> I suppose.
<Rotonoto> hey- it's telephone *sanitizer* anyway :o)
<uhmeow> no klok
<uhmeow> the studio time did not produce their genius.
<Rotonoto> here we are waking up in the space ship...
<klokwkdog> I was listening to a dynamite Bruckner 4th on the Proms
today, and the presenter was going on and on and on about this and that
influence and how this impacted what and Wager and finally, I just hit
mute until I figured the music would be starting
<Rotonoto> the studio fortunately captured it, even enhanced it
<uhmeow> tiny dat machines and cameras now allow me to make a flick of
broadcast qualiyt in my home town next week
<uhmeow> praise technology
<Rotonoto> praise the Hoove
<uhmeow> hoove the praise
<klokwkdog> the same way people mute John Madden and just watch the
images. There is a poetry to how the images are captured that has
gotten better and better over the history of TV.
<klokwkdog> and I despise TV football
<uhmeow> you think so, klok?
<Rotonoto> hope you are enjoying the all night images...
<uhmeow> i kinda dig the old black an dwhite aesthetic
<uhmeow> my childhood tv experience
<uhmeow> colour hard to do well, seeing china beach again after 14 years
proves it
<klokwkdog> oh yes, much video technology is directly related to sports
<klokwkdog> Things like "Friends" are plotted out and rehearsed in every
detail; ditto CB
<klokwkdog> 4 cameras and a soundstage.
<Noser> you mean there are WRITERS for that?
<DocTechnical> coulda fooled me...
<klokwkdog> Sports are captured in real time, and there are amazing
pieces of equipment (a computer arrow following hockey puck is one of
the bad ones)
<klokwkdog> no one knows what will happen (except the bookies, of course
-- the networks can't pay that much)
<Noser> The stain of the sin of Adam on the soul of every mortal can be
removed with a mixture of baking soda and dishwashing liquid, first
testing it on an inobtrusive section of your immortal spirit to make
sure that it will not harm it. Your soul should then be air-dried and
sprinkled with rug deodorizer.
<klokwkdog> LOL
<DocTechnical> words to live by
<Noser> http://www.brunching.com/householdhints.html
<Rotonoto> powerful words for our day...
<uhmeow> rug bomb bagdad
<DocTechnical> i'm fading fast here guys - have to book - it's been a

<uhmeow> by doc
<klokwkdog> Just think -- in 24 hours, I could be in Bangkok!
<Rotonoto> "Removing unsightly pants" is a pretty good household hint
<uhmeow> or not
<Rotonoto> removing stains from baking soda- er, what is this guy on?
<Noser> he's on Brunching Shuttlecocks.
<Rotonoto> I feel strongly that shuttlecocks should be reserved for an
early dinner
<Rotonoto> they are a bit too rich for brunch
<Noser> well, maybe exploring the site will change your mind
<Noser> cause them dudes is wacky
<Rotonoto> I can tell :o)
<klokwkdog> Of course, no matter where in Bangkok you are going, you'll
still have to change planes in Taipei
<klokwkdog> so what is going on? does the war start next week?
<klokwkdog> I take it our Brave Leader told the wimps at the UN to
either take our way or the highway today, demonstrating his broad grasp
of international diplomacy?
<klokwkdog> i mean, we pretty much darn well fund the thing, give it a
place to live, allow all the filthy grubbly little people who come there
to park all over NYC illegally while poor Dex has to run move his car
every 5 minutes, and the ingrates have the gall not to vote the way we
tell them?
<klokwkdog> what good is a United Nations, then?
<klokwkdog> that is a medical procedure that is still experimental, N
<Rotonoto> I give it a few more weeks due to the now UN connection in play
<Noser> medical procedure?
<klokwkdog> I could always tell
<klokwkdog> I was known as the class "snitch"

<Dexter_Fong> Yep and Roto is feeding dog
<klokwkdog> who is Yep?
<Noser> well, if you need something stuck in your head,
http://homestarrunner.com/fhqwhgads.html might come in handy
<Dexter_Fong> So do we here know about fhqwhgads?
<klokwkdog> Pacific Islanders have been highly underrepresented in this
chat lately
<Dexter_Fong> They're all at sea right now
<klokwkdog> fhqwhgads: shades of Yoshini Battles the Pink Robots, Vol. I!
<Noser> don't think I've encountered that one
<klokwkdog> yes, with GW moving apace, they will be up to their necks in

<klokwkdog> it's not multimedia
<klokwkdog> Flaming Lips song
<Noser> ah

<Regnad_Kcin> indefenseable
<uhmeow> yet it gave birth to the firesign, so it cant be all bad
<Regnad_Kcin> ty doc
<Rotonoto> you could get yourself arrested for not wrapping yourself in
the flag
<Bubbas_Brain> and with bigotry and just ice for all.
<klokwkdog> right, whereas in Canada, people just disappear and when

<CurtisLeMay> Dunno I have an old 1200 baud one
<Rotonoto> make hayes while the sun shines
<Regnad_Kcin> damn but would that fucker get hot
<klokwkdog> AMC recently ran The Last Waltz and I enjoyed hearing
Ferlinghetti again
<klokwkdog> Hayes now out of it. They ran his company into the ground
<CurtisLeMay> I had a TI 99/4
<Regnad_Kcin> pc/jr here
<Rotonoto> I have a Sinclair ZX-81
<Rotonoto> *and* an Ampro Little Board CP/M computer
<Bubbas_Brain> Ain't we a buch of ancient fucks!
<klokwkdog> The whole Peachtree Street mafia is gone, replaced by an
anemic bunch of struggling DSP software houses and hip-hop/rap moguls
<Regnad_Kcin> neat little box. dropped by ibm as soon as it came out
<DocTechnical> b_b: well, since you put it so colorfully... yes, we are!
<Dexter_Fong> I saw a 1937 boat-tail Auburn recently
<CurtisLeMay> I have a borgendorfer pocket computer w/led display somewhere
<Regnad_Kcin> memory upgrd somehow slapped onto a printer
<DocTechnical> roto: i have a zx81 too
<Bubbas_Brain> I include myself, here
<Rotonoto> way cool in their time think of it- a hundred dollar
computer! :o)
<Regnad_Kcin> now, as for what i currently have....... mwahahaha
<DocTechnical> one time i rigged my zx81 to run off a 9-volt batterty -
it ran for like five minutes
<uhmeow> i turn my head an tech talk takes over
<Regnad_Kcin> that's right cat
<Dexter_Fong> Yep
<Regnad_Kcin> feel the pain
<Regnad_Kcin> hehehe
<uhmeow> every one you know, like air, trapped inside glass vials
<Rotonoto> the battery melted down?
<DocTechnical> the doctor is on
<CurtisLeMay> See what happens?
<DocTechnical> vile vials?
<CurtisLeMay> Blew up
<uhmeow> well the firesign love tech
<Rotonoto> ahhh- it's tech talk again
<uhmeow> osspoem, doc
<Bubbas_Brain> You could have a hundred dollar computer today, and it
would have at least as much power as a vic-20.....
<DocTechnical> roto: no it just ran out (it was a radio battery, not a
car battery)
<uhmeow> i'm listening to my new files of them
* Regnad_Kcin is gonna hook up that peltier and waterblock one day.......
<klokwkdog> ah, nothing like a firesign chat on a medium that requires
more than a modicum of tech knowledge (and you cannot escape, you CD
producer, you) to get into and participate, eh?
<Dexter_Fong> Baby let me test your tubes
<DocTechnical> ossmosis
<klokwkdog> what, we're going to bitch about golf and the price of beer?
<Rotonoto> heck- a hundred will get you a nice used Pentium 2
<CurtisLeMay> More
<CurtisLeMay> I got a 16mb pocket PC for $99
<uhmeow> there is a perfection in his poetry
<Regnad_Kcin> ront - dumpster diving will getchoo a nice p2
<CurtisLeMay> I got a 266 dell for $95
<uhmeow> he trained his mind to do this long long ago
<klokwkdog> surprise: to a first approximation, all the computers in the
world costs < $1
<klokwkdog> er, cost
<Bubbas_Brain> that 16 meg is 4000 times more than the vic-20 had....
<Rotonoto> I can open windows with my mind but I can't keep these bozos
from obsoleting all my computers
<CurtisLeMay> and about 1/8 of the size, w/a display
<Regnad_Kcin> how about my pc2100 1 gigs worth?
<Regnad_Kcin> getcher sliderule out
<CurtisLeMay> whatsa slide rool
<Dexter_Fong> You cannot slide outside the base path
<uhmeow> its own domain
<klokwkdog> all the PC stuff we revere will be in a landfill in 5 years
and for sale for a fortune on eBay in 20
<Regnad_Kcin> like an abacus but bigger
<Regnad_Kcin> or smaller
<Regnad_Kcin> i forget
<Bubbas_Brain> slide roolz!
<CurtisLeMay> (about a quarter)
<CurtisLeMay> My cakt drools
<CurtisLeMay> cat
<klokwkdog> oatmeal works for that, Cat
<klokwkdog> also radiator leaks
<klokwkdog> cats drool due to age or hunger; I haven't figured out radiators
<CurtisLeMay> I tried that he won't eat it unless it's tuna flavour
<Bubbas_Brain> radiator leaks prevent cat drool???
<Rotonoto> sly drool?
<CurtisLeMay> This is a 1 1/2 yr old cat
<klokwkdog> yep, if the cats drink enough anti-freeze, BB
<Bubbas_Brain> Sly and the Family Drool.
<CurtisLeMay> No the stiffen up and fall over
<Regnad_Kcin> your pussy is 18 months old curt?
<Dexter_Fong> The family that drools together rules together
<klokwkdog> WHAT?! You have LAST YEAR'S MODEL? Shame, Curt, Shame!
<CurtisLeMay> One of them
<Bubbas_Brain> quick, arrest that man!
<klokwkdog> The paint is probably falling off by now
<CurtisLeMay> I have 4
<klokwkdog> You must have gotten a Fleet rate on them, then.
<CurtisLeMay> Trying to keep them before the wife nabs them all
* Bubbas_Brain hums "thank you falletinme be mice elf, agin"
<Dexter_Fong> from Fleet bank
<uhmeow> fleet wood bank?
<CurtisLeMay> Fleet is the mame of my bank
<CurtisLeMay> name
* Dexter_Fong hums "we are veryday people"
<Dexter_Fong> every
<CurtisLeMay> The teller is named "Nick"
<klokwkdog> If you let sardines get a little iffy by leaving out in the
sun a day or so, then wipe anything a cat does not want through them, it
can become overpoweringly attractive to them
<uhmeow> stevie?
<CurtisLeMay> I had a toyota
* Bubbas_Brain hums "Don't call me nigger, whitey!"
<uhmeow> and you never let go?
<CurtisLeMay> Stevie is one cat, I have Rob Roy, Tommy and Kathy
<klokwkdog> Oh yeah, Fleet: right behind BofA in the way it's gobbled up
everything
* Dexter_Fong hums "what you say, brother man"
<klokwkdog> I got out of that one fast.
<Regnad_Kcin> i ran into a toyota once
<CurtisLeMay> Yep
<Regnad_Kcin> put it into my pocket
<klokwkdog> the first 3 letters says it all
<CurtisLeMay> I nearly ran ito one today
<CurtisLeMay> NJ plates
<klokwkdog> I had a rental Tercel about 20 years ago, and thought it was
an abomination until the rental company replaced it with a Datsun 210
*** Join: Noser (some...@h00500480bd93.ne.client2.attbi.com)
<Dexter_Fong> Hey Noser
<CurtisLeMay> Woman didn't notice the huge EZ Pass sign until she was on
it, and changed lanes 2 ft from my front bumper
<klokwkdog> The Datsun was scary - driving on dry pavement in it was
like driving on ice in other cars
<Regnad_Kcin> datsun eh? did it start up with a cord?
<uhmeow> nose man
<klokwkdog> just about
<CurtisLeMay> My mom had a B210 waggon
<Dexter_Fong> Cord was a great auto
<CurtisLeMay> an off white-gren
<CurtisLeMay> green
<uhmeow> you should be driving a cord 810
<Rotonoto> Toyota and Mitsubishi both interesting if you mask off last
letter
<Bubbas_Brain> I gotta go --- I'm gonna install "Worms Triple Pack"
<CurtisLeMay> about the size of a large shoebox
<klokwkdog> I drove the Tercel into the worst early winter storm in the
Maritimes in 15 years and just about didn't come out the other side.
<uhmeow> a neal cassady line from Neal Amid
<Dexter_Fong> See yah Bub
<Rotonoto> no- in case of Mitsubishi, add a "T" at the end
<CurtisLeMay> later
<DocTechnical> nite
<Bubbas_Brain> TTFN
<uhmeow> speaking of which, kend emailed me url to great npr show about
kerouac this week
<uhmeow> ya'll here it?
* Noser throws a sheep at Bubbas_Brain, which explodes.
<CurtisLeMay> I drive a ford Tempo
<uhmeow> by bub
<Rotonoto> nite bubs
<Regnad_Kcin> think i'ma gonna eat mine food and watch monk
<klokwkdog> It would help, CLeM, if that &$^% E-Z Pass stuff didn't fill
all but one of the 150 toll booths on the Whitestone.
<Regnad_Kcin> later all
<Regnad_Kcin> anybody want the log?
<Bubbas_Brain> Thanks, Noser.
<klokwkdog> nite BB, RK
*** Quit: Bubbas_Brain (Quit: )
<CurtisLeMay> I have one :)
<uhmeow> reg
<Regnad_Kcin> better yet, reg...@rcnchicago.com
<CurtisLeMay> I love EZ Pass
<klokwkdog> I'm a lumberjack and that's OK, but no log for me 2day
<Regnad_Kcin> for log
<DocTechnical> cat: yeah i caught that npr kerouac story on the way into
work - it was indeed well done
<Regnad_Kcin> (well.... somebody collects them hehe)
<klokwkdog> Yeah, but those of us who are forced to traverse NYC 1ce in
a blue moon hate its guts
<Dexter_Fong> Reg: Maybe email it to Kend^?
<uhmeow> it has the tape of neal and jack on it
<Regnad_Kcin> nytol
<uhmeow> that mrs cassady told me about
<Rotonoto> nite reg
<uhmeow> wow
<Regnad_Kcin> don't have kend's email
<Dexter_Fong> Hey watch that stuff klok
<uhmeow> by reg
<Dexter_Fong> Night Reg
<DocTechnical> cat, have you checked out the cassady stuff availble
through key-z.com?
<Dexter_Fong> Reg: I'm logging Ill send it to him
<uhmeow> just go to npr.org and search: jack kerouac
<CurtisLeMay> later
<uhmeow> new stuff, doc?
<uhmeow> i must hear it
<klokwkdog> Well, you figure being stacked up out the wazoo on that
bridge for hours on Thanksgiving because there are 50,000 E-Z Pass
tollbooths and only one cash one.
<uhmeow> my contention in Neal Amid is that Neal Cassady was to our
language what Jackie Robinson was to US basebal
<klokwkdog> It would be better if they didn't charge $50/month just to
have the thing.
<Dexter_Fong> You got EZ pass klok?
<DocTechnical> http://www.key-z.com/AUDIO.html - neal at the wheel, #s 1
and 2
<CurtisLeMay> It's worth it
<CurtisLeMay> As much as I use the thruway
<Dexter_Fong> Klok: Who charges 50 a month just to have it?
<CurtisLeMay> prlly NJ
<Dexter_Fong> Not NY Curt
<CurtisLeMay> They're not administering it well
<klokwkdog> what do you think, DF?
<DocTechnical> re npr kerouac link -
http://www.npr.org/programs/morning/features/patc/ontheroad/index.html
<Dexter_Fong> We've had it for several years,,well worth it
<CurtisLeMay> No-NJ
<CurtisLeMay> Definitely
<CurtisLeMay> I use mine quite often
<CurtisLeMay> I live on the Thruway
<Dexter_Fong> Went to Delaware recen tly..only one pay toll...all the
rest EZ pass
<uhmeow> i have the at the wheel stuff, i think
<klokwkdog> there is also the fact that E-Z Pass can be used not only at
tolls, but other points to track individual vehicles. There are
discussions of how to craft tin foil covers for them to prevent this.
<uhmeow> i sent it to austin to prep him for playing neal
<uhmeow> he was apppalleed
<DocTechnical> appalled? why?
<uhmeow> tiz hard to listen to
<Dexter_Fong> Klok: I love you but you are a bit paranoid =))
<CurtisLeMay> Too much trouble to use EZ Pass as a tracker
<uhmeow> or so he appeared to me, doc.
<CurtisLeMay> You need transponder gantries
<uhmeow> can find exact letter and quote exactly but not on computer
<uhmeow> it is indeed raving
<uhmeow> the guy ginzberg begins howl with
<klokwkdog> maybe it's only $5, but that's ¼ my ISP rate. I don't like
paying that for an occasional trip, and I resent penalizing honest
citizens who want to pay cash. I'd be willing to use tokens if I can
buy a roll and use them for several years or in different tolls in NY/NJ
<uhmeow> which may have begun with his own howl from neal
<uhmeow> a tolled area?
<Dexter_Fong> Klok: In MY there's no service fee, plus you get a
discount for using it
<Dexter_Fong> New York
<uhmeow> tolled away, tolled away, oh where do i go when i'm toad away
<CurtisLeMay> Klok: NY won't do tokens. They even killed exact change
lanes in 2k1
<klokwkdog> the info packet the Whitstone chick gave me said it was
$4.95/mo whether it's used or not.
<CurtisLeMay> It's a 50% discount on NYSBA bridges, 25 on the Thruway IIRC
<CurtisLeMay> Port authority. No wonder
<Dexter_Fong> Klok: In NYSm there is *no* service charge
<klokwkdog> Stop and Shop has U-Checkout lines that one operates
themselves, and my local ATM card will pay at either robot or human
checkout for NO fee. I don't like fees whether something is used or not.
<CurtisLeMay> Those suckers would steal the gold out of yr teeth
<uhmeow> has anyone seen china beach recently?
<Dexter_Fong> Cat: Thought that program was cancelled several years ago
<klokwkdog> I have to get THROUGH NYC on occasion, and it's gotten worse
and worse getting thru the tolls.
<klokwkdog> the TV show or the place?
<uhmeow> reruns just began on our history tv network this week
<CurtisLeMay> Vietman's in reruns I think
<uhmeow> one of the best photographed shows i've ever seen
<klokwkdog> It was running in weave with "Black Sheep Squadron" on History
<uhmeow> low tolerance on the moton though
<Dexter_Fong> I liked CB, thought it was well done
<uhmeow> indeed
<CurtisLeMay> Mutton?
<Dexter_Fong> Mouton Rothschild?
<uhmeow> motown. motor city
<CurtisLeMay> Never saw it
<klokwkdog> It's interesting to see well-known (or well-forgotten)
actors on C. Beach, B.S. Squadron, Hill Street or St. Elsewhere in their
long-ago form
<Dexter_Fong> You don't have a tv Curt, remember
<uhmeow> mouton rouge

<Rotonoto> Lemay was a fellow ham radio operator

a dwarf
<uhmeow> dont drarf that crush

<uhmeow> Mr Disner played by Phil Austin. so you get your firesign fix,
but it's too short for lodestone and i cannot conceive of it, or
frankly, anhy of my other projects as being commercial.
<klokwkdog> The thing is, it's derivative, and those who actually heard
Robt. Johnson will say, "yeah, this guy is good, I can see where he's
coming from, but all his licks..." and we'll listen to some cat and say,
"yeah, good, but I remember [loudon W., Dylan, Ochs, etx.{..."
<uhmeow> you're only 35, curtis? i have shirts older than you
<klokwkdog> LOL

<Dexter_Fong> Curt: Thought you were referring to Highway 61 now
Interstate Highway (IH) 35
<CurtisLeMay> *I*nterstate *H*ighway 35

<klokwkdog> We need new blood to have some folks able to type once we no
longer have the energy 2
<CurtisLeMay> Yes
<uhmeow> do it on highway 61
<Dexter_Fong> Curt: We prefer the usage "IS"

<DocTechnical> no shoes doctor
<Rotonoto> Doctor Maybe, Doctor Curley...
<uhmeow> by dex
<DocTechnical> ok df
<Rotonoto> bye guy
<Dexter_Fong> Nighties
<klokwkdog> POOF! That bozo existed, but no more (too much vacuum
pressure: an occasional Bozo winks out of existence, but we are stuck
with Bush)
<Rotonoto> "Toad away, toad awaaaaay..."
<uhmeow> a bird in the bush is worth two in the hand....of Satan!
<klokwkdog> rotate your tires, your parking place
<Rotonoto> quantum bozoettes scintillating in the illuminati dust
<uhmeow> hows it goin ,roto?
<klokwkdog> there are 8 million stories in the Naked City, and for a
place where everyone takes the subway or walks, most of them are ab out
cars
<uhmeow> ossman's poem for peter bergman, called 12 Suppositions, is
amazingly beautiful
<Noser> that's a lot of preparation H
<uhmeow> if not done already, you must send michael packer the
appropriate fee and buy this video of dave reading his poems in michigan
* klokwkdog was just going to suggest a parody called 12 Suppositories
<Rotonoto> 12 suppositories, eh?
<uhmeow> as good as the best firesign
<uhmeow> and really where his heart is at
<Rotonoto> hey cat
<klokwkdog> Didn't Marvin Looter nail a list of 12 Suppositories to the
door of Thai Food Mary's?
<uhmeow> looseners!
<klokwkdog> or Gilliam could make a movie of it
<uhmeow> of austin: he suffers from the madness
<Rotonoto> loostners *and* groat clusters- let's splurge!
<uhmeow> as a user of words, in tales and others, listening to this
makes me feel inferior, a higher level of achievement necessary just to
see above ground
<klokwkdog> doesn't he "live" in Las Vegas, if you can call it that? So
madness is understandable: it rolls downhill from the Temple at Salt
Lake City
<Rotonoto> if'n ya call that livin'...
<uhmeow> louise's church, laura nero tune on the salon site
<uhmeow> has a line: freda drew the moon
<Rotonoto> Nyro fiddled, Rome burned...
<klokwkdog> I don't use words, I just rent a few from time to time to get by
<uhmeow> kahlo, doc?
<uhmeow> does lili know this tune?
<uhmeow> i'll be driving thru sask listening to it while you're all here
next week
<DocTechnical> i don't know if she does or not cat
* klokwkdog finally got the pun by the Germans who developed "NERO
Burning CD-ROM" when he noticed that if one added an 'e'...
<DocTechnical> but i do know this: when the new movie about kahlo comes
out, we're gonna see it pronto
<klokwkdog> the important thing now is if SHE knows if she does or not
<DocTechnical> advance word is that salma hayak is brilliant in it
<uhmeow> no shit
<Rotonoto> add the e where?
<klokwkdog> at the end
<klokwkdog> as in ROMe!
<Rotonoto> I just got Nero Burning ROM on my new computer- better than
Adaptec
<Rotonoto> ahh- but of course!
<klokwkdog> The "burning CD-ROM" sounded like some Babelfish translation
that went wrong, but I could not think of any German precursor that
would foul up; it kept eating at me
<Rotonoto> Taxi! Ahhh, the taxi drivers are all on strike
<klokwkdog> anything is better than Adaptec
<uhmeow> ossmans city poem much resembles, inspired by imaginery cities
by famous italian dude, name forgotten
<uhmeow> calvino?
<Rotonoto> Adaptec at least works but Nero way better
<klokwkdog> they are specialists in SCSI h/w, drivers, and storage
systems, not CD burner s/w
<Rotonoto> I can see that now, klok
<uhmeow> yes, the reason this works like keroauc insists and instructs
you, the pacing and the tone and all must be right to turn words into
enchantments
<Rotonoto> leave it to the germans...
<uhmeow> ossman knows this
<klokwkdog> I felt very inadequate at that moment, Roto.
<uhmeow> speaking into microphones for money for decades would teach you
that
<klokwkdog> yes, that was why Ferlinghetti reading his poem was so much
fun in The Last Waltz
<Rotonoto> talent like that rare cat
<klokwkdog> oh, man!
<klokwkdog> you recogize the voice, it has power or shadings or even
whiffs of time gone by, like Don Pardo
<DocTechnical> we'll be bright black!
<klokwkdog> or John Cameron Swazee
<Rotonoto> "That's right, Bob..."
<DocTechnical> ...brought to you by pussy whip, the dessert topping for
cats...
<klokwkdog> Remember the episode of Mad About You where Reiser hires the
$$$ announcer for one of his films and then pisses him off?
<uhmeow> kerouac spent far too much time with his mother
<klokwkdog> It's one of those occupations that you think is like
Telephone Sterilizer or Middle Management, and then when you really need
one, you realize it's 'way harder than you think
<uhmeow> ossman is talking about hearing the music of the spheres, on
the Autobozographical vid
<klokwkdog> he apparently spent 'way too long in Lowell, too
<Noser> telephone sterilizing isn't that easy
<Rotonoto> there is a telephone sterilizer's union? hard to get into it?
<uhmeow> something so miraculous, you know now Why the firesign are so
good. it's not just that they[re that bright, or that clever.
<klokwkdog> what? 5 gal of kerosene and a match; works great
<klokwkdog> it's that 5th guy
<Noser> I don't know if it's union, but think about all the things that
people do on pay phones in the middle of the night when no one's looking
<klokwkdog> and infinite studio time
<uhmeow> it's that they've filetered their amazing experiences thru
those capacities, and then combined them
<klokwkdog> I suppose.
<Rotonoto> hey- it's telephone *sanitizer* anyway :o)
<uhmeow> no klok
<uhmeow> the studio time did not produce their genius.
<Rotonoto> here we are waking up in the space ship...
<klokwkdog> I was listening to a dynamite Bruckner 4th on the Proms
today, and the presenter was going on and on and on about this and that
influence and how this impacted what and Wager and finally, I just hit
mute until I figured the music would be starting
<Rotonoto> the studio fortunately captured it, even enhanced it
<uhmeow> tiny dat machines and cameras now allow me to make a flick of
broadcast qualiyt in my home town next week
<uhmeow> praise technology
<Rotonoto> praise the Hoove
<uhmeow> hoove the praise
<klokwkdog> the same way people mute John Madden and just watch the
images. There is a poetry to how the images are captured that has
gotten better and better over the history of TV.
<klokwkdog> and I despise TV football
<uhmeow> you think so, klok?
<Rotonoto> hope you are enjoying the all night images...
<uhmeow> i kinda dig the old black an dwhite aesthetic
<uhmeow> my childhood tv experience
<uhmeow> colour hard to do well, seeing china beach again after 14 years
proves it
<klokwkdog> oh yes, much video technology is directly related to sports
<klokwkdog> Things like "Friends" are plotted out and rehearsed in every
detail; ditto CB
<klokwkdog> 4 cameras and a soundstage.
<Noser> you mean there are WRITERS for that?
<DocTechnical> coulda fooled me...
<klokwkdog> Sports are captured in real time, and there are amazing
pieces of equipment (a computer arrow following hockey puck is one of
the bad ones)
<klokwkdog> no one knows what will happen (except the bookies, of course
-- the networks can't pay that much)
<Noser> The stain of the sin of Adam on the soul of every mortal can be
removed with a mixture of baking soda and dishwashing liquid, first
testing it on an inobtrusive section of your immortal spirit to make
sure that it will not harm it. Your soul should then be air-dried and
sprinkled with rug deodorizer.
<klokwkdog> LOL
<DocTechnical> words to live by
<Noser> http://www.brunching.com/householdhints.html
<Rotonoto> powerful words for our day...
<uhmeow> rug bomb bagdad
<DocTechnical> i'm fading fast here guys - have to book - it's been a
looooooooooong workweek, i am (yet again) sleep deprived
<klokwkdog> how on earth did you get there??
<klokwkdog> he's going over to the dark side!
<Rotonoto> nite
<DocTechnical> y'all take care - get me the log and i'll do the 'ez
read' thing...
<klokwkdog> oops! the CLOCK just went over to the dark side!
<DocTechnical> nytol (zzzzzzzzzzzzzz SKNXXX zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.................
*** Quit: DocTechnical (Quit: Leaving)
<klokwkdog> and the klok is not far behind; nite Doc
<uhmeow> by doc
<klokwkdog> Just think -- in 24 hours, I could be in Bangkok!
<Rotonoto> "Removing unsightly pants" is a pretty good household hint
<uhmeow> or not
<Rotonoto> removing stains from baking soda- er, what is this guy on?
<Noser> he's on Brunching Shuttlecocks.
<Rotonoto> I feel strongly that shuttlecocks should be reserved for an
early dinner
<Rotonoto> they are a bit too rich for brunch
<Noser> well, maybe exploring the site will change your mind
<Noser> cause them dudes is wacky
<Rotonoto> I can tell :o)
<klokwkdog> Of course, no matter where in Bangkok you are going, you'll
still have to change planes in Taipei
<klokwkdog> so what is going on? does the war start next week?
<klokwkdog> I take it our Brave Leader told the wimps at the UN to
either take our way or the highway today, demonstrating his broad grasp
of international diplomacy?
<klokwkdog> i mean, we pretty much darn well fund the thing, give it a
place to live, allow all the filthy grubbly little people who come there
to park all over NYC illegally while poor Dex has to run move his car
every 5 minutes, and the ingrates have the gall not to vote the way we
tell them?
<klokwkdog> what good is a United Nations, then?
<klokwkdog> that is a medical procedure that is still experimental, N
<Rotonoto> I give it a few more weeks due to the now UN connection in play
<Noser> medical procedure?
<klokwkdog> I could always tell
<klokwkdog> I was known as the class "snitch"
<klokwkdog> changing minds
<uhmeow> cat is gone
<uhmeow> see some of you in 2 weeks
<uhmeow> others in 2 monthes
<Rotonoto> bye cat
<klokwkdog> however, we seem to be getting a chemical form
<uhmeow> live well
<klokwkdog> nite

<Noser> I'm waiting for suppository form.
<Roto_feeding_dog> brb ( I recommend the aerosol...)
<klokwkdog> Check with Cat about the 12 Suppositories
<klokwkdog> I'll wait until the aerosol comes in glue form

<Noser> well, if you need something stuck in your head,
http://homestarrunner.com/fhqwhgads.html might come in handy
<Dexter_Fong> So do we here know about fhqwhgads?
<klokwkdog> Pacific Islanders have been highly underrepresented in this
chat lately
<Dexter_Fong> They're all at sea right now
<klokwkdog> fhqwhgads: shades of Yoshini Battles the Pink Robots, Vol. I!
<Noser> don't think I've encountered that one
<klokwkdog> yes, with GW moving apace, they will be up to their necks in
it soon, DF
<klokwkdog> it's not multimedia
<klokwkdog> Flaming Lips song
<Noser> ah
<Noser> the whole homestarrunner experience is worth exploring, though
it's not nearly as good as brunching

remain logging
<klokwkdog> not a candle on "All Your Base..." of course...
