<uhmeow> also, beautiful new suitcase, moderately ugly passport photos
<klokwkdog> oh, another one of those Alliteration Press jobs, eh?
<kend^> if you really look like your passport photos, you probably
need plastic surgery
<Mr_Yamamoto> Only "Moderately" they weren't trying hard enough
<uhmeow> more phone to string vowel pairs together
<DocTechnical> cat: the wav i sent you is called
RedShiftWeb_Cleaner.wav ... you created an MP3 file of the same name
and uploaded it to a place on your site no one can get to (one level
above the seemreal_html folder)
<klokwkdog> Mr. Y pings at a 22-second lag; the rest exist at an
improbability level of 7 and dropping...
<kend^> 22 to 7 odds
<DocTechnical> but the link on the Red Shift page points to a file
called Tiny54.mp3 in the seemrteal_html/redshift site folder.
<klokwkdog> I thought your passport photo is what you will look like
AFTER plastic surgery
<klokwkdog> (of course, my passport is kind of strange, what with all
that brown paint)
<kend^> the last time i had a passport (1980) i looked like a criminal
or a russki spy
<uhmeow> so i would have to recreate tiny54? where are you?
<kend^> there's a riot in the bronx.....
<uhmeow> i wish there were an undo function you could use for deep
periods of time
<uhmeow> so i could theoretically create a new link called clean tiny
or whatever on the actual web page? no, too confusioning
<uhmeow> many new names need be created
<Mr_Yamamoto> I've never needed a passport
<klokwkdog> how many levels would this function have, Cat
<uhmeow> you've never gone anywhere, mr y?
<klokwkdog> I think you have the gem of a Dot-Com there
<kend^> and god said, let there be albert, and there was al
<uhmeow> as many as possible, clock
<klokwkdog> uh-oh, a stiff, cold wind...
<Mr_Yamamoto> Many places, I just never needed a passport
<klokwkdog> DT, did you have boomers in your Sector yet?
<Mr_Yamamoto> 22 sec
<Bubbas_Brain> And god saw that al was good....
<Mr_Yamamoto> I have KaZaA running
<kend^> this is a walking only zone
<kend^> slow down!
<Mr_Yamamoto> Trying to DL a lot of stuff
<klokwkdog> yeah, you can get into lots of places with a US driver's
license, or a license and a visa
<Bubbas_Brain> Running Kwanzaa?
<Mr_Yamamoto> Well, I'm crawling @ present
<Bubbas_Brain> and mastercard.
<klokwkdog> esp. if you pre-arrange in advance before you go
<Mr_Yamamoto> Only in December, Mudhead
<kend^> i know someone who was almost not let back into country after
a cruise (post 9-11) without a birth certificate to prove citizenship
<Mr_Yamamoto> I was in the Navy
<klokwkdog> I thought it was full of viruses and RIAA trojans
<Mr_Yamamoto> All those Ports of Call and that
<Mr_Yamamoto> Not thus far
<uhmeow> any port in the storm
<Bubbas_Brain> Didn't The RIAA Trojans winn last Fridays football
game?
<Mr_Yamamoto> I'm Firewalled and antivirused to the hilt anyway
<kend^> with those spiffy lamb-skin condoms :)
<klokwkdog> hey, I sprang from the forehead of Zeus -- I don't need no
steenkin birth certificate
<klokwkdog> blow one up and hike!
<kend^> athena reincarnated?
<Bubbas_Brain> spang from the foreskin of Zeus?
<Mr_Yamamoto> Bet HE hjad a headache
<Mr_Yamamoto> ewwww
<klokwkdog> that's a human concept, Mr. Y
<Bubbas_Brain> Holy hjad?

your garden... little bobs everwhere....
<Mr_Yamamoto> I joined the F.I.B.
<klokwkdog> yeah, like the lawn flamingos
<uhmeow> by by
<Bubbas_Brain> Oh, SURE you did, MrY.
<kend^> f*ckers in black?
<Mr_Yamamoto> You never see them have sex
<klokwkdog> I don't know how many times the ASPLF has warned people
not to place them too close together...
<klokwkdog> I thought kudzu was bad, but this, gak!
<Bubbas_Brain> They reproduce asexually.
<klokwkdog> no one knows
<kend^> i used to read kudzu when i took the paper
<Mr_Yamamoto> They'll take over the south
<uhmeow> Eureka!
<kend^> hoover!
<Bubbas_Brain> Someone has to.
<Mr_Yamamoto> Take two comics and call me in the morning
<kend^> thus the cycle closes
<klokwkdog> the Government is heavily-influenced by the Lawn Flamingo
Manufacturer's Assoc., so of course, they do NOTHING
<uhmeow> hey folks, tiny's back
<Mr_Yamamoto> Damn
<Mr_Yamamoto> Yay!
<uhmeow> needs earthquake sound effect though
<uhmeow> music too
[kend^ SOUND]
<Bubbas_Brain> rrrrrrrrrumble.....
<kend^> shit, sound effects do NOT work in this program!
<klokwkdog> there are whole sections of Indiana that are darn near
uninhabitable now...
<Bubbas_Brain> never was all that habitable.....
<kend^> hell, klok, you couldn't pay me to live anywhere in indiana.
except for cigs and beer, taxes there suck
<Mr_Yamamoto> /msg Nick...@services.dal.net AUTH Mr_Yamamoto
2144552624412625
<klokwkdog> not to mention the terrible effect on migrating flamingos
who get lured in and then die of exhaustion trying to locate another
flamingo that is real

<uhmeow> camp those mellons
<kend^> can't elope
<uhmeow> principal skinner?
<Bubbas_Brain> ... I was born with a small mind, and I live with a
small mind.....
<uhmeow> ant elope?
<uhmeow> i read that melon is often served as part of a meal in italy
<uhmeow> i will find out soon enough
<Mr_Yamamoto> there we go
* klokwkdog reflects that his mind was actually quite large at the
beginning, but it has shrunk with age to a small walnut-sized lump of
hatred and remorse
<Mr_Yamamoto> That's a good thing
<kend^> cat, i couldn't resist sending you that museum page in naples
:)
<klokwkdog> I think he's still in Vancouver, Ken
<kend^> did you get it registered, mr.y?
<Bubbas_Brain> just like a brown dwarf, eh Klok?
<uhmeow> I'm always in vancouver. except when i'm not
<Mr_Yamamoto> Vancouver, Italy :)
<Mr_Yamamoto> Y
<Mr_Yamamoto> All registered and spiffy
<klokwkdog> Sander Vancouver
<kend^> klok: it was about erotic museum in naples, excavated from
pompeii
<klokwkdog> does the spiff cost extra, Mr. Y?
<klokwkdog> oh great, more hot rocks jokes...
<uhmeow> i doubt i'll be able to irc from italy or the iberian
penninsula, unless someone here knows more than i do about such things
<kend^> -ChanServ- mr_yamamoto has been successfully added to the AOp
list of #firesign
<uhmeow> which is hard not to do
<Mr_Yamamoto> Comes w/the territory
<kend^> cat, all you will need is live connection and right program
<uhmeow> i can send you jpgs if you want
<uhmeow> but i cant impose irc software on an italian computer
<Mr_Yamamoto> You can evern IRC on a palm Pilot
<kend^> irish jpgs? that's a great dance
<klokwkdog> ah, the head, uh DALnet guy is giving out his turf as
franchises, eh, Mr Y? Now I am beginning to get it
<kend^> cat, i think you can even irc from the dalnet web page, using
java
<uhmeow> the gladiator fighting his cock
<Mr_Yamamoto> Yes
<uhmeow> no wonder pompei was buried
<Mr_Yamamoto> J pilot
<uhmeow> forever
<Mr_Yamamoto> Log into JPilot and you can IRC from anywheere
<klokwkdog> yeah, but d/l the Java interpreter in an Italian cybercafe
might be a tad espensive at $45/hr, now that MS has ditched Java.
<Mr_Yamamoto> YIPE
<kend^> cat, if you really want to do it, take a cd-r with you that
has the install program for your fav irc program
<Mr_Yamamoto> They never liked Java anywho
<kend^> too many earthquakes in indonesia for my tastes
<Mr_Yamamoto> Farking Gates
<kend^> but i do like their hot brown beverage in the a.m.
<klokwkdog> ah, you get used to it
<Mr_Yamamoto> Yes
<Mr_Yamamoto> West of Java east of Krakatoa?
<klokwkdog> there isn't much there to quake, once you're out of
Jakarta
<Mr_Yamamoto> West of the sun east of the moon
<Bubbas_Brain> Caffini strikes again!
<klokwkdog> it's all one big Shadow Play by the CIA, Mr. Y
<kend^> i have desktop of earth, updates earthquakes every hour, the
triangle formed by jakarta, fiji, and kamchatka is very active right
now
<uhmeow> krak those javas
<klokwkdog> was that the "evil triangle" Bush was talking about today?
<Mr_Yamamoto> Kamchatka doesn't care since they're all drunk on Vodka
<kend^> no, that's rumsfeld, wolfowitz, and harvey pitt
<klokwkdog> and I thought it was Ashcroft, Cheney and Rumsfield
<Mr_Yamamoto> I thot that Was Enron, Worldcomm ad AOL
<kend^> hell, make it a baseball team, with 9, and don't forget
antonin scalia
<klokwkdog> I thought AOL was a Good Guy
<Mr_Yamamoto> NO
<Mr_Yamamoto> Bad guy
<kend^> aol's shit hit the fan today
<kend^> ceo stepped down
<kend^> bad accounting, etc.
<Mr_Yamamoto> They're making a cook book on how to cook books'
<klokwkdog> (the line in Rustler's Rhapsody was, "I'm a lawyer, you
idiot!
<kend^> they may break back apart, with time/warner being the big
loser, since they were paid in overvalued aol stock
<klokwkdog> I thought he was sacrificial lamb
<Mr_Yamamoto> I think this is all carefully orchestrated
<kend^> leg o' lamb with curry sauce?
<klokwkdog> (his departure having been telegraphed worse than the
drums in a Tarzan movie)
<kend^> it is orchestrated, but the bassoon is out of tune
<Mr_Yamamoto> Bush will now make business "ethical" again
<klokwkdog> ROFL
<kend^> and the buffoon can't keep time
<uhmeow> heh heh heh, he said "bush"
<Mr_Yamamoto> have his "leadership" praised and get re-elected
<klokwkdog> they are running out of ROOM in that henhouse for all the
foxes!!
<kend^> faux paws on the eggs
<uhmeow> fox paws on the anybody's eggs
<Mr_Yamamoto> Potemkin Village Chickens
<klokwkdog> yeah, it gets pretty bad when the military deliberately
leaks his Iraq invasion plan because THEY think he is off his rocker
<kend^> i like mine extra crispy :)
<Mr_Yamamoto> Potemkin Village Chicken Little
<kend^> Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance. -
Will Durant
<Mr_Yamamoto> The military usually LIKES republicans at that
<kend^> with that quote remember that dumbya has mba
<klokwkdog> it sure is in my case, sure is...
<Mr_Yamamoto> Good quote
<kend^> another nice political quote: "I had the Gestapo round up all
of the clairvoyants and psychics Hess had been seeing. Oddly, none of
them had expected to be arrested." -Joseph Goebels
<Mr_Yamamoto> MBA?
<kend^> master of business admin
<Mr_Yamamoto> Musta been a "D" student
<klokwkdog> well, this civilian pres is trying to send them to death
and destruction, and that's not what they joined up for
<uhmeow> yes, i saw a tlc show on that, kend
<kend^> here's a nice non-political quote: A meanderthal is an
annoying individual moving slowly and aimlessly in front of another
individual who is in a bit of a hurry.
<klokwkdog> "I bet the 8-ball didn't see THAT one coming." -- Bart
Simpson
<Mr_Yamamoto> Y, the military keeps forgetting that it's job is to
kill or be killed
<kend^> eat or be eaten
<DocTechnical> just got a call from lili, she was supposed to go into
nyc to hook up with a former openwave co-worker but he's still at the
client site in Kansas City, she's on her way over to my place now
<Mr_Yamamoto> More Sugar!
<klokwkdog> Nope, their job is to advance to the front...of the
command ladder
<klokwkdog> put in their 20 and double-dip
<Mr_Yamamoto> And retire w/a spiffen pension
<kend^> when she arrives, tom, have a cold alcoholic beverage waiting
for her
<Mr_Yamamoto> free medical care

<Mr_Yamamoto> Don't forget to defoliate that victory garden
<kend^> exfoliate it
<Mr_Yamamoto> We're supposed to get rain here
<Bubbas_Brain> Dopple or nothing.
<Mr_Yamamoto> it's still about 85

there, accordingly), but they are in precip mode already
<kend^> doppelganger
<Mr_Yamamoto> Dople is what you do when you lose yer balance
<klokwkdog> right on the CT-Mass border, DT
<uhmeow> hi bunny
<Bunnyboy> Anybody see THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS? Wotta hoot!

<uhmeow> very cleam mp3 of Tiny is now up on the red shift site
<Mr_Yamamoto> Yer no fun, you fell right over
<Mr_Yamamoto> Stuff is to the NE of me then
<uhmeow> thanks to doc's cleaning service
<Mr_Yamamoto> I'm about 45 mi SE of CT/MA border
<uhmeow> i'l have to post your contributions to the red shift project.
only i won't wait til your dead
<uhmeow> Fuck, Bit wanted to be famous when she was still alive.
<klokwkdog> nah, it's going to clip the top of E. CT and slide across
N. RI from the direction on the loop. But stuff is building out of
nothing pretty regularly, so it may yet generate things for us to play
with, Mr. Y
<DocTechnical> we'll clean your audio for just pennies a kilobyte
<uhmeow> we shoud feature it in the laundromat
<Bunnyboy> cat: Just listened to tiny. Miss dat guy!
<kend^> tom, don't forget to use a static sheet when you dry it, don't
want to shock anyone
<Mr_Yamamoto> Yeah
<klokwkdog> cheap at half the cost, DT; Tiny would be/is proud
<uhmeow> oaksville laudromat for the cyberworld, and Your world
<uhmeow> no shit, bunny
<uhmeow> the pix for the individaul seem real theatre projects need
names
<Mr_Yamamoto> His brother never did contact me again
<uhmeow> i should be able to type in names for red shift, box of time,
et al, somehow, eh, doc?
<uhmeow> too bad, mr y
<uhmeow> i want connie and tiny's daughter to know of this
<kend^> his family should be given at least that link, or a copy of
the play when done
<Mr_Yamamoto> yeah
<Bunnyboy> After y'all see THE ROYAL TENENBAUMS, see if this theory
don't play: Gene Hackman was wonderful, but do you know who I think
would have been spot-on in the role, if the movie had been made 20
years earlier. JACKIE GLEASON. Check it, and see!
<kend^> to the moon, alice
<uhmeow> as the webmaster of a fan site for an audio group, it';s good
that tiny has an audio presence himself
<klokwkdog> He got a bit tiresome at the end, BB. Haven't seen the
movie.
<uhmeow> ten little indian Baums!
<uhmeow> remember drop drill?
<Bunnyboy> The DVD set is, of course, a great monument to needless
detail...but in a good way!
<klokwkdog> you know, maybe conference calls have gotten really cheap,
like long distance
<DocTechnical> lili and i saw the royal tenenbaums when it came out -
very likable film, quirky characters, twisty plot, many laughs
<DocTechnical> not as good as rushmore imho, but very close to it
<kend^> i called amsterdam about a month ago, 12c/min
<klokwkdog> perhaps once a year, we could set up a giant conference
call in lieu of text chat? and put on VHS HiFi tape
<Bunnyboy> Doc: My favorite line - "So...she smokes."
<Mr_Yamamoto> I can conference call on mty cel phone
<DocTechnical> bb: right! (lol)
<Bunnyboy> And I still have to catch up with RUSHMORE. 4 heads are
bigger than 1.
<DocTechnical> rushmore is brilliant - story and characters were more
engaging than r. t. (but only by a little bit)
*** klokwkdog is now known as klokmustbeawaybrieflyfor15min
<Bunnyboy> ROAD TO PERDITION is a lovely dark ride.
<kend^> the klok's running....
<kend^> Bb: everyone on tv that has mentioned that movie says it's
great
<Bunnyboy> And even though Tom Hanks is miscast, he carries his pack
like a trooper.
<Mr_Yamamoto> Hanks is a good actior
<DocTechnical> bb: lili and i were going to see that this past
thursday evening (local multiplex has $4 thursdays, stadium seating)
but we were both too tired) ... it's on our to-see list
<Bunnyboy> The graphic novel is grittier and more Dirty Harry/Punisher
style than the flick.
<DocTechnical> cat: saw minority report a week ago
<DocTechnical> have you seen it yet?
<kend^> doc: mini-review, pls? worth the $$/time?
<DocTechnical> k^: speaking for myself, i loved it.
* Bubbas_Brain falls asleep on his
keyboarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddddd
<Bunnyboy> Props to my man Max Von Sydow, a magnificent actor!
<DocTechnical> bb: yeah, he did a great job there
<kend^> the concept is good, i just wasn't sure about wasting time on
tom cruise
<Bubbas_Brain> Nite all, gotta nother long day tomorrow.
<DocTechnical> i thought spielberg did a great job of not turning the
thing into another disney-type flick like he did with a.i.

<DocTechnical> also, the special fx were really stunning yet didn't
get in the way of or take focus off of the story
<Bunnyboy> Richard Gere and Mickey Mouse, starring in RETURN OF THE
BLACK HOLE.
<kend^> return of the black hole doesn't star halle berry?
<DocTechnical> the only flaws were a couple of really glaring plot
holes
<kend^> sorry, couldn't resist that one

<DocTechnical> it's been a while
<Bunnyboy> MY FAVORITE YEAR, finally on DVD, with commentary by
Richard Benjamin.
<Bunnyboy> Now, if only THE PRODUCERS got digital...
<kend^> he's a highly under-rated actor, imho
<DocTechnical> bb: really ...! i always loved that flick too. hows
the commentary
<DocTechnical> ?
<Mr_Yamamoto> yes
<Bunnyboy> Benjamin? Yeah! Great in CATCH-22 and DECONSTRUCTING HARRY.
<kend^> catch-22 one of my fav books and movies, although little real
overlap between the two
<DocTechnical> not to mention paula prentiss...
<kend^> woo hoo!
<DocTechnical> yeah
<DocTechnical> next time i get the chance to kill some time at the
museum of tv & radio in nyc, i gotta remember to pull up a couple of

<Bunnyboy> Doc: Only caught a bit, so far, but seems swell. He talks
about the fact that his own career started when he worked as a page at
Rockefeller Center...in the very lobby where the film starts out!

SCHTUP her? Didja go ALL the WAY?!? What? What?? Aaahh...
<DocTechnical> lol
<Mr_Yamamoto> lol
<Mr_Yamamoto> He could be Channellin Justin Resnick
<DocTechnical> brb
<Mr_Yamamoto> Or Crazy Eddie
<klokwkdog> frankly, DT, for me, it was like two other movies...
<klokwkdog> the first part was like Mission Impossible (or Logan's
Run, for that matter)
<Bunnyboy> klok: LA CONFIDENTIAL and THE FUGITIVE.
<Regnad_Kcin> hrm hrm hrm
<klokwkdog> the 2nd one, yes, LA Confidential, fer sure
<Regnad_Kcin> just like me to walk in halfway thru... talking movies?
<Bunnyboy> eYup
<Regnad_Kcin> favourites?
<klokwkdog> as I said B4, they always mess up the PKD stories by
filling them with A-list actors.
<klokwkdog> it gets worse: check Cold Mountain .
<Bunnyboy> That's it! Lance Henriksen or bust!
<kend^> klok: i just checked out c.m. on amazon, not sure it's
something i'd like
<Regnad_Kcin> feel like i walked in in the middle of the album 8^)
<klokwkdog> confederate soldier recuperating in NC hospital deserts
and heads towards NC mountains and his sweetheart
<Bunnyboy> This is no movie, this is real.
<klokwkdog> it's The Odyssey again
<kend^> no, we haven't started talking chinese yet
<Regnad_Kcin> Really for real?
<klokwkdog> sample chapter online
<Bunnyboy> It's the Homer, Homer Again Polka.
<klokwkdog> it's a good book, Ken, at least, if you were raised in NC.
I've walked that ground.
<Mr_Yamamoto> I can only speak Chinese standing on my jead
<Regnad_Kcin> <or been scraped off it, as the case may be>
<kend^> i've only passed through n.c., although one of my ancestors
landed there in 1740 or so
<Mr_Yamamoto> haed
<Mr_Yamamoto> head
<Bunnyboy> or Jihad
<Bunnyboy> Gaelic nawgen
<kend^> gee, head :)
<klokwkdog> It's like a Tom Robbins novel, though, the ending is kind
of disappointing. There is so much depth and so much meat to the
story and then it POOF! Ends. As in the publisher called and said,
"You better deliver this next week"
<klokwkdog> but check the IMDB listing.
<kend^> i hate that type of story. even worse it the ones i slog
through only to find the last chapter makes the whole boring read
worthwhile
<klokwkdog> This NC-based Civil War era drama stars some Brit hotshot
as the hero and Nicole Kidman as the sweetie
<Bunnyboy> Heard that Peter Marshall has a new memoir out.
<kend^> which peter marshall is that? the hollywood squares guy?
<Mr_Yamamoto> About Hollywood Squares?
<Regnad_Kcin> personally, I'm waiting for that new M Knight
Shamalamadingdong movie
<klokwkdog> it's ok, ken, it's just that the final part of the story
accelerates at 200 mph. it could have filled half of another book,
easy
<kend^> yeah, about crop circles? the promos look good
<Regnad_Kcin> erm
<Bunnyboy> He states his theory that Wally Cox's death was an
accidental overdose of meds and booze.
<klokwkdog> it's almost a "plot outline", not a story.
<Regnad_Kcin> i think its called signs, but i don't think its the crop
circles one
<klokwkdog> But get this: the MOVIE is being made in...Bucharest...
<kend^> bucharest, north carolina?
<Bunnyboy> Speaking of that...I'm hungry!
<klokwkdog> some local bigwig just accused the star of stealing his
personal Land Rover, almost had him shot
<kend^> regnad: yes, with mel gibson
<klokwkdog> no, Romania!
<klokwkdog> what a PITA
<Regnad_Kcin> not turkey?
<kend^> hail, ceacescu
<Mr_Yamamoto> Romaina

* Bunnyboy wipes away da drool and waves to the circle

<klokwkdog> actually, Indonesia should be broken up as quickly as
possible

*** DocTechnical is now known as LiliLamont
<kend^> hi lili
<kend^> (i just love saying that phrase :) )
<LiliLamont> Hi, Kend^.
<klokwkdog> HELLO LILI!
<Regnad_Kcin> can't say that I am
<klokwkdog> is it HOT enough for you?
<LiliLamont> I rather like it, too.
<kend^> still 73 here
<klokwkdog> no ufo - the trees are too tall to get good reception here
<kend^> i can hear the singing when i type it
<LiliLamont> It's ridiculous. I've had the AC running nonstop.
Everytime I step outside, I feel like I'm in Kuala Lumpur.
<klokwkdog> yes, Aust. Ken
<Regnad_Kcin> 73 w/ 91% humidity right now
<klokwkdog> at least you...HAVE...A/C...
<LiliLamont> Why shower? Just go outside. Yeeesh!
<Regnad_Kcin> thought i was gonna drop dead today
<kend^> got me beat, only 66% here now
<Regnad_Kcin> i was lugging beer around and the carboard was
waterlogged
<kend^> don't even bother with perfume, just go everywhere smelling
like perspiration
<LiliLamont> I had no choice but to get it. When I was married, I
used to cook dinner every evening and I would be dying. My ex didn't
mind because he stayed out of the kitchen.
<kend^> if you can't stand the heat......
<LiliLamont> Well, he had no problem with me suffering. Never again.
<Regnad_Kcin> you soulda dragged the hibachi into the tv room :)
<kend^> oh shit, dr. phil gets his own daily show this fall :0
<kend^> i will not have psycho-pop shoved down MY throat
<Regnad_Kcin> unless some terorist takes care of him for us (not that
I would suggest such a thing)
*** kend^ has quit IRC (Write Error: Connection reset by peer)
<klokwkdog> oops
<LiliLamont> Can't be worse than Jerry Springer. Which, by the way,
has the dubious honor of being the worst thing on TV.
<Regnad_Kcin> geez chri.... its been at least a week straight of 90+
*** kend^ has joined #firesign
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o kend^
<kend^> shit, i self-destructed there for some unknown reason
<Regnad_Kcin> i saw springer once before his show turned into the
white trash parade of stars
<LiliLamont> Where the hell are you, the southwest?
<klokwkdog> no, article in Salon today makes a good case for Connie
Chung's stint so far on CNN being one of the most camp TV shows since
"Batman"
<LiliLamont> I must read that!
<kend^> lili, please ask doc to send me his log when possible, i'll
fill in the blanks of mine with his
<Regnad_Kcin> i'll do the same
