<Bubba_from_Another_Planet> TAANSAFB?
<klokwkdog> who spilled packets all over my nice clean kitchen floor?
<DocTechnical> ...and trying to fashion one out of aluminum foil and a
bic pen is a real pain
<kend^> he may be on automatic pilot, since he has cable connection,
might be here all the time
<klokwkdog> who say dat taffy thing
<DocTechnical> all those ones and zeros - who's going to clean up this mess?
<klokwkdog> ?
<kend^> turkish taffy, a mammary from my youth
<klokwkdog> I know, we can free base them to hex!
<kend^> hex? sounds satanic to me
<DocTechnical> freebase...
<klokwkdog> then, statistically, not so many ones and zeros
* kend^ makes the sign of the cross
<Bubba_from_Another_Planet> Mircing from wirc... um, work, today.
<DocTechnical> huh huh uh huhh huhh uh
<DocTechnical> ah, i see bubba
<klokwkdog> mommy said zeros didn't mean anything,. anyway
<DocTechnical> wircing - er working hard?
<kend^> mommy wasn't into roman numerals, was she?
<DocTechnical> klok: the direct quote: 'think nothing of it.
<DocTechnical> '
<Bubba_from_Another_Planet> Now that I've registered my nick, I couldn't
be myself.
<Bubba_from_Another_Planet> Hardly wircing.
<klokwkdog> WIRC: the chat room from hell for those who are chained to
their desk!
<DocTechnical> my cell phone has roaming numerals
<DocTechnical> klok: lol
<klokwkdog> esp. when you step on it by mistake
<kend^> does your cubical have a wire running around the outside of it,
and you are forced to wear a collar?
<klokwkdog> hey bubba, you could be beside yourself
<DocTechnical> i can see it now - roger corman's "The Chat Room FROM
HELL!!!!!"
<DocTechnical> now *that* would be confusing klok
<kend^> cubicle? that doesn't look right either
<Bubba_from_Another_Planet> I already am.
<klokwkdog> starring Ronald Reagan as channel Op
<DocTechnical> voice: who's here? from the dark: just me - & me ...
<kend^> after world-com, the chat room from hell would have you on hold
eternally while they sort out who owns the phone lines
<Bubba_from_Another_Planet> er, I don't remember......
<kend^> nixon in the background, saying, "i am not an op"
<klokwkdog> they own all the phone lines you can ever be on
<DocTechnical> new fox show: ops
<klokwkdog> but it looks like the ultimate Channel Op is fading into the
sunset
<kend^> faux ops
<Bubba_from_Another_Planet> Clinton saying, I did not Op that channel,
uh, Firesign.
<DocTechnical> why so klok?
<kend^> cheney ops from "an undisclosed location"
<klokwkdog> (actually WCOMM stock went from 10¢ to 15¢ in one day, which
made somebody a chunk of, er, change)
<kend^> lol, klok!
<DocTechnical> hey mister i got a nickel ... wait for me!
<klokwkdog> it depends on what the definition of Op is
<kend^> as long as you don't inhale.......
<DocTechnical> The Wizard Of Op?
<DocTechnical> or alan hale
<kend^> http://www.opensecrets.org/politicians/candlistname.asp
<klokwkdog> spreaking of which, Ken, there must be a massive demand for
gov't gumshoe accountants just about now...got your Civil Servix app in?
<kend^> for those of you into politics, find out where your
representative gets his/her money
<Bubba_from_Another_Planet> Or Nathan Hale... I regret that I have but
one Op to give for my country.
<kend^> klok, i'd never pass a background check. too many skeletons in
my closet
<DocTechnical> get your erection - er, election - on!
<klokwkdog> compared to what?
<klokwkdog> ken, compared to WHAT??
<kend^> you got a point there--i never did any insider trading
<DocTechnical> damn, and i studied SO HARD for that background check too...
<kend^> i never sold arms to a foreign country
<klokwkdog> either it's a non-issue or I'm really scared to even be in
this chat with you!
<DocTechnical> in cidre!
<DocTechnical> hic
<kend^> i never got caught selling drugs
<Bubba_from_Another_Planet> No Quid Pro Op!
<klokwkdog> well, I did

<DocTechnical> chunky monkey

stinking carcass and someone wants me to slit open the belly and see
where the smell is coming from? no thanks!

<Regnad_Kcin> Minister of ministrations
<uhmeow> having all kinds of problems with cute ftp
<Regnad_Kcin> ask away cat
<kend^> minister of the department of redundancy department
<klokwkdog> it's quite forgiving, Cat
<DocTechnical> version 5?
<Regnad_Kcin> unless you're using the "new and improved" cute ftp, which
is a mess
<kend^> totally off the subject, but what IS that girl doing in the car
commercial where she makes all sorts of strange arm and head movements?
<uhmeow> i bought version 5 today and first it refused to accept the
registration number it gave me
<DocTechnical> k^: having an epileptic seizure in slow-mo
<uhmeow> ook, so i'm finally registered but i can't access 5, only 4.2
which is on the shortcuts folder
<DocTechnical> looks more arty that way
<Dexter_Fong> K: I've been watching that commercial...really hate it but
the girl is interesting
<Regnad_Kcin> hehehe, well, I can give you a serial #firesign that WORKS....
<Regnad_Kcin> oops
<kend^> i don't like the "dancing" if that's what it is, but the music
intrigues me also
<Regnad_Kcin> a serial number
<Dexter_Fong> Oooh Firesign Cerial
<DocTechnical> you registered 5 but can't run it?
*** Joins: Mr_Yamamoto (Mr_Ya...@172.148.105.27)
<uhmeow> right
<kend^> hey mr.y
<DocTechnical> reg: warez?
*** kend^ sets mode: +o Mr_Yamamoto
<Regnad_Kcin> anytime i press the pound key the script fixes things for me
<Mr_Yamamoto> Hello
<Dexter_Fong> My Y! Howdy
<DocTechnical> hey yamster
<uhmeow> i'm stuck in 4.25 which keeps asking me to but it. but it's
already bought!
<Mr_Yamamoto> \I have a new chip, so if I crash, I'll be back
<uhmeow> i tried rebooting computer just now, but am still stuck in 4.25
<uhmeow> chips away!
<kend^> i have some bbq chips here, but they are mostly broken crumbs now
<Regnad_Kcin> well, uninstall 4.25
<Dexter_Fong> Chips Ahoy
<Regnad_Kcin> should give the option to keep settings
<uhmeow> ok, if i do that, will i lose the settings
<uhmeow> oh, ok, i'll try that
<Regnad_Kcin> was that cute ftp an open box btw?
<uhmeow> ?
<DocTechnical> if you paid for v5 and it won't run on your pc, email
globalscape customer support
<DocTechnical> they should be able to help you
<Dexter_Fong> Another Oldtimer dragged kicking and screaming into the future
<uhmeow> i tried that already
<uhmeow> maybe they're closed
*** Quits: Mr_Yamamoto (Mr_Ya...@172.148.105.27 ) (Read error: Connection reset by peer )
<Regnad_Kcin> that as well... open box meaning a returned item, or
otherwise opened
<kend^> maybe they're unclothed?
<Dexter_Fong> MY has Chipped out
<uhmeow> you agree with regnad that i should uninstall 4.25?
<DocTechnical> reg: i think he bought it online, downloaded the 5 demo &
tried to register it (unsuccessfully?)
<uhmeow> first unsuccessfully, now it tells me i am registered
<Regnad_Kcin> oic.. i know they sell the stuff in stores
<uhmeow> but i can't access it
*** Joins: bfwestley (~wes...@isis.visi.com)
<kend^> hi brian
<Dexter_Fong> Hi Brian
<uhmeow> hey bf!
<bfwestley> hello
*** kend^ sets mode: +o bfwestley
<DocTechnical> i think you should email globalscape customer support and
get them to help you - make sure they know you're running windows xp,
i'm willing to bet that has something to do with the problem
<bfwestley> did you hear your cd, cat?
<uhmeow> good to hear your voice at the beginning and end of box of time
<Regnad_Kcin> heheh, no... xp shouldn't be the problem
<uhmeow> also ossman in that show before
<Regnad_Kcin> sounds like 4.25 is preempting 5.0
<klokwkdog> xp is magic - cannot have problems
<Regnad_Kcin> could be something stupid, like you're running the program
off the old icon
<bfwestley> yep, didn't have time to do much more than read the credits,
though; forgot to mention seemreal.com
<uhmeow> now i know which one is you of the nasa scientists on red shift
<DocTechnical> you'd think the v5 install would have simply knocked out
4.25, no?
<kend^> do you have a shortcut pointing to the wrong version?
<Dexter_Fong> xp = Experience Points?
<klokwkdog> perhaps the "cuter than anything else" setting got checked
in v4.25?
<uhmeow> i just might
<Regnad_Kcin> not necessarily Doc
<uhmeow> hopefully SOMEBODY heard it, besides me
<Regnad_Kcin> do this 1st... open 4.25 and try to export your settings
<uhmeow> export to where?
<klokwkdog> wait a minute - there's two of everyone but me!
<Regnad_Kcin> to file
<kend^> turn off your matter duplicator, klok
<kend^> change the settings to "energy" and you'll solve half our problems
<Dexter_Fong> There is only one klokworddog....you are the true klokworkdog
<uhmeow> i was under the impression v5 would replace v4.25, yes,
especially after rebooting
<klokwkdog> that setting doesn't matter, Ken
<Regnad_Kcin> no uhmeow, depends on the program
<klokwkdog> yes, DF, and that choice has been left up to me!
<kend^> cat, did you specify where to install it, and make sure it was
same directory that held 4.25?
<Regnad_Kcin> depends on how you installed it
<uhmeow> how firesonian
<uhmeow> yes kend
<uhmeow> a directory called Shortcuts that doc set up
<Regnad_Kcin> er
<klokwkdog> there's not room in this directory for the both of us!
<uhmeow> if only that were true
<Regnad_Kcin> shortcuts doesn't sound like a good 'directory' to be
working with
<klokwkdog> of course; if Windows had set it up, it would be called "My
Shortcuts"
<Regnad_Kcin> unless it actually IS a directory...
<DocTechnical> maybe cat should uninstall *both* versions, and do a
fresh install of 5
<klokwkdog> (and Cute FTP thinks it has a lock on the precious concept)
<Regnad_Kcin> hold on cat, i'll msg
<klokwkdog> ...or try playing Side 6...
<DocTechnical> thanks for helping out, reg
<Regnad_Kcin> not trying to butt heads or anything..
<Dexter_Fong> regular Boynklin
<kend^> you can't play side 6 on a pentagonal player though
<klokwkdog> yes, law enforcement here is telling kids not to hang out
with shortcuts
<klokwkdog> it can lead to swearing
<uhmeow> i seem to have it somewhere. when i did a search for cuteftp on
my hard drive, it located both old and new one
<uhmeow> i wonder if i can just delete 4.25?
<Regnad_Kcin> cat, check your private messages
<uhmeow> right
<klokwkdog> ...and that can lead to athsma, and that can lead to
inhalers and then it's down the short road to heroin
<DocTechnical> cat, look at the bottom of your mIRC window, there should
be a button for "Status", "#firesign" and "Regnad_Kcin" ...
<Dexter_Fong> ha ha ha..that's as funny today as it was in the sizzling
seventies
<uhmeow> got it
<DocTechnical> click the "Regnad_Kcin" button to bring the private chat
to the fore
<kend^> fore? who's playing golf here?
<Dexter_Fong> Playing through
<klokwkdog> helmsman, warp the steerboard to starboard! Bring us around
by the fore, by and large!
<DocTechnical> your playing days are through?
<kend^> "on my private chats, i always use a 6 iron"
<Dexter_Fong> Up your aft klok
<bfwestley> back in a few minutes... the nick danger game is up but
unannounced, I'll be adding more non-game stuff to it (rules, credits)
it's at firesigntheatre.com/danger
<klokwkdog> must have Cox Cable, Internet and phone combination!
<kend^> the combination to my phone is 25 left, 14 right, 74 left
<Dexter_Fong> Klok: all outof one trailer?
<klokwkdog> jeez, I hate all this rules stuff. another convert to
cascaded style sheets. hmpf!
<kend^> speaking of phones, anyone with my phone number in their
records: change area code from 616 to 269 as of last week
<klokwkdog> they have nothing but trailers, Dex
<Dexter_Fong> I remember short circuiting some cascaded sheets
<klokwkdog> they can't sell cable ads, so they are all false reality
commercials
<Dexter_Fong> An oxymoron klok = false reality
<klokwkdog> kids ignoring the Good Humor truck and chasing the Cox van
down the street screaming "It's the high-speed Internet truck!"
<uhmeow> hey mister, i got some nickel, weight for me
<Dexter_Fong> With the MS theme playing in the background
<kend^> i'll take a pint of that 700kbps stuff
<klokwkdog> the guy so addicted to their digital cable TV that his
dentist has set up an entire drilling rig in the living room, pointing
out "...but this is going to cost you big-time."
<Dexter_Fong> Gimme a lid of download
<DocTechnical> i hate css

<klokwkdog> ...and the source of my observation: the guy whacking the
golf ball, polo-style, from his golf cart at full speed, out of queue

high-speed Internet connection," his buddies observe
<uhmeow> we have special shirts?
<Dexter_Fong> Weigh anvhor here MY, your chip has come in
<Mr_Yamamoto> dunno for how long
<Mr_Yamamoto> bugger

<kend^> a rising tide lifts all chips? false! the titanic AND the
lusitania are still on the bottom
<klokwkdog> no more rules!
<Dexter_Fong> Rule # 1 = No more rules
<Dexter_Fong> and no more runes either

XP1700 was pushing 120°F according to the measuring utility
<Mr_Yamamoto> Rule no.7 THERE IS NO RUE 7
<Dexter_Fong> I rue the day
<Dexter_Fong> For Aussies, no more kanga rules
<klokwkdog> I think AMD is at the end of its rope in terms of speed on
this process. I have three fans in the box, plus the CPU's cooler fan going.

<DocTechnical> Charlemange left
<Mr_Yamamoto> Keep it cool and casual
<DocTechnical> only when the door is closed
<Mr_Yamamoto> When the door is closed!
<uhmeow> and the light Stays On!
<Mr_Yamamoto> Boo
<Mr_Yamamoto> beat me to it
<Dexter_Fong> 8 to the bar
<Mr_Yamamoto> I'm out of coffee
<klokwkdog> sounds like a case of closing the refrigerator door after
the CPU is out to me
<Dexter_Fong> I've got ciggarettes
<DocTechnical> oh no!!!!!
<Mr_Yamamoto> I'm hating life, dadduy-o
<Mr_Yamamoto> I have smoxe

<Dexter_Fong> Ooohh Mr Yamamoto, you some cynical guy
* klokwkdog is always out of coffee
<kend^> nicotine and caffeine are my two major addictions. can't go long
without either one
<Mr_Yamamoto> I think I got a bad mammery chip
<Dexter_Fong> Thank you kend^ X fior sharing
<kend^> those damned alkaloids
<Mr_Yamamoto> Now the computer's not crashing
<Dexter_Fong> That's good yes?
<klokwkdog> that's right - the alkaloid intrusions cause phosphorescence
<Mr_Yamamoto> I like it
<kend^> bad mammary chips need bra that's sized correctly, try a larger cup
<Mr_Yamamoto> I have the D cup
<klokwkdog> oooo
<Mr_Yamamoto> no OOOOO

<Mr_Yamamoto> OO
<bfwestley> I'm back
<Dexter_Fong> Turn around BF
<DocTechnical> that right kemowasabe
<Mr_Yamamoto> brb-rejüte
<klokwkdog> a properly fitted bra is no substitute for a back brace,
beyond a certain, er, point
<Dexter_Fong> Wazzzzabe!
<kend^> corsets with REAL whale bones are the answer!
<Dexter_Fong> so contact your Japanese lingerie dealer today

<kend^> research purposes only
<klokwkdog> ah, we have finally heard from the House of Lords tonight
<kend^> where's tony blair when you need him?
<Dexter_Fong> House of Lourdes?
<klokwkdog> speaking of which, the Proms tonight was great - 7 new
commissions premiered by The King's Singers
<klokwkdog> and it's not on in repeats, at least not so far scheduled
<kend^> lizzie is off in manchester opening the commonwealth games
<Dexter_Fong> Elizabeth Taylor is in Vermont?
<klokwkdog> no, the thin one
<klokwkdog> William Powell
<kend^> lol, klok! the ugly one with the hat
<Dexter_Fong> well done klok =))
<klokwkdog> that's not very specific, Ken
<klokwkdog> you have to appreciate the gravity of the situation
<kend^> let's narrow it down then. greek husband
<Dexter_Fong> Yeah..if this was a 40's movie that would be everyone
<kend^> pot-smoking grandson
<kend^> never without her handbag
<klokwkdog> well, that cuts it down to maybe 1/10 the planet...
<kend^> wears ermine at opening of parliament
<kend^> are we getting warmer yet?
<klokwkdog> is that, like the Brit equivalent of the "nuclear football"?
<kend^> hell yes, that ermine makes ME sweat!
<uhmeow> too hot in vancouver these days
<klokwkdog> I mean, you open this bag and it's like the Bridge of the
Enterprise inside?
<kend^> we're at a nice 73F now, but very humid, t'storms on the way tonight
<DocTechnical> brb - lili just arrived!
<klokwkdog> why are we talking about all this Canadian stuff??
*** DocTechnical is now known as DocTechTakesABreak
*** DocTechnical [~doc...@24.44.170.237] has left IRC
<Dexter_Fong> Hands up across the border
<klokwkdog> next, we'll get off on all kinds of papal bull___
<kend^> did he survive canada? i hear he's skipping directly to mexico
afterwards, like WE didn't even exist
<Dexter_Fong> Speak for yourself klok...I never got off on that stuff
<klokwkdog> Not to put too fine a point on it, but our extra-national
complement here is but a small fraction of the whole, and American
matters are Important. More important than some has-been tin-pot
scepter-wielder who faded long before Xena showed up
<Dexter_Fong> Ummm..sure
<kend^> i wish xena would come back to tv. but only for her sidekick :)
<klokwkdog> US Rules! Are you with me?!
<Dexter_Fong> I thought you said no more rules, klok?
<kend^> yep, daddy-o
<uhmeow> you have rules? i thought gw did away with them all
<kend^> the rules here are whatever asscroft says they are, changes day
to day
<klokwkdog> Well, I'm writing my reps about CSS, fer sure. And
shrink-wrap licences. Yeah, that's it! I'm gonna burn my uniform!
Take THAT, George Lincoln Rockwell!
<uhmeow> isnt he dead yet?
<klokwkdog> If your mommie is a commie, you gotta turn her in!
<kend^> better red than dead?
<Dexter_Fong> There's kinda of a nice dilemma going on: Long as the
market keeps descending and scandals erupt, Bush et al are on the defensive
<kend^> defense! defense! rah rah ree, kick 'em in the knee!
<Dexter_Fong> Course descending market ain't too good for anyone either
<kend^> well, the short sellers love it
<klokwkdog> and speaking of rules, don't forget UCITA:
http://www.theregus.com/content/4/25744.html - tell your commissioner
where to stuff those shrink-wrap licenses
<Dexter_Fong> K: I kinda think the short sellers have been burnt out
<klokwkdog> I saved W$J issue the day Dow broke past 5,000. I thought
it was absurd...
<kend^> i laughed at my dad when he converted everything to cash and
equivalents when the market was at 11000 couple years ago. now he's
laughing at me
<klokwkdog> You know, we just might make it back before the year is out...
<Dexter_Fong> Make what back?
<kend^> back to 5000? or back to 10000?
<klokwkdog> back to 5K
<kend^> i think 6300 is more realistic, but we're both thinking it's not
over yet
<Dexter_Fong> 5K is no where near 401K
<kend^> my 401k is in the dumper
<klokwkdog> I'll give it 6500 or 7000 in honor of all the expansion of
the economy since then, but 8000? Hmpf!
<Dexter_Fong> Hmpf...The hmpf
<klokwkdog> as some are putting it, many 401Ks are now 201Ks
<Dexter_Fong> Don't bogart that hmpf
<Regnad_Kcin> was that commander cody?
<klokwkdog> I'm not sure which is sadder: the analysts who were pushing
the WorldCom stock up until the day it dropped to 5¢... (of course, you
could have made a pretty penny since then)
<kend^> from easy rider, but not the commander, i don't think
<Regnad_Kcin> i always think it was them
<Regnad_Kcin> dunno why for the life of me
<kend^> my fav cody song is "down to seeds and stems again" from album
"lost in the ozone"
<Regnad_Kcin> very good choice
<kend^> if it's important, i can go google it
<klokwkdog> ...or Bush, continuing to insist that "ordinary Americans
deserve the right to have their Social Security money invested in the
stock market" the same week that WorldCom went into bankruptcy
<uhmeow> you think he's reading from an old version of the script?
<Dexter_Fong> klok: it aint about sad...it's about greedy mother____'s
<klokwkdog> I think HE is an old version of the script...
<Dexter_Fong> and dishonest mother____'s

<Dexter_Fong> Hey that's me...
<kend^> Chorus:

<kend^> Don't bogart that joint my friend
<kend^> Pass it over to me
<kend^> Roll another one
<kend^> Just like the other one
<kend^> You've been holding on to it
<kend^> And I sure will like a hit
<kend^> (chorus)
<kend^> Roll another one
<kend^> Just like the other one
<kend^> That one's burned to the end
<kend^> Come on and be a real friend
<kend^> (chorus)
<klokwkdog> The spinners in the background are desperately tearing
through the property trunks, trying to find another dummy-on-wheels to
roll out that will be even halfway credible, 'cause this dude ain't
cuttin' it in today's market...
<kend^> that site sells a 15 song compilation of songs about ganja!
<Regnad_Kcin> yes.. now i remember
<Regnad_Kcin> cody had some kiind of bogart song tho i think

everything he did

<klokwkdog> so the way I see it, with no other prop available to
distract the crowd, they gotta use the "guy in a uniform" trick again,
real soon. Hey Saddam- better put on your cast-iron overalls: we goin'

<HasNoName> ah, the "guy in a uniform code" trick... any English
Schoolboy of the Americas could figure it out...
<kend^> klok, i fear we are full scale into the "endless war" from 1984
<klokwkdog> no, it ended: we're out of precision guided munitions
<klokwkdog> made fresh daily, but the number we need won't be ready
until 1Q 2003
<Dexter_Fong> I realy recommend you check it out online...he's been on
Bush for a week or to now, having Bush urge chaney to "fall on the
sword" for the good of the administration
<kend^> "this channel is made possible by the corporation for pubic
broadcasting"
<klokwkdog> I fear the present market conditions may force us to start
short of that, though
<klokwkdog> Um, Dex, the problem is, the number of folks that need to do
so outnumber the available swords...
<kend^> recycle, reuse
<Dexter_Fong> Also...it appears the leaking of the Iraq invasion plans
was done by the Armed Forces
<klokwkdog> anathema to this administration, Ken - they always use a new one
<kend^> rummy wants someone prostituted for treason on that one
<kend^> beat our ploughshares into swords?
<kend^> hell, just put 'em i the fields around here, let the combines
run over 'em
<kend^> massey-ferguson rulez!
<Dexter_Fong> Raymond Massey and Ian Ferguson
<kend^> what was his character on "dr. kildare"?
<Dexter_Fong> A patient?
<Regnad_Kcin> im more familiar with dr strangelove :)
<kend^> no, he was a doctor, chamberlain's boss, i think
<kend^> "colonel bat guano, if that IS your name?"
<Dexter_Fong> K^: wasn't that lionel Barrymore?
<kend^> hmmm, not sure. how you've got me thinking (and that's dangerous!)

Custer: I don't wanna go!"
<StephenFosterKane> nobody in the Pentagon thinks it's a Good Idea
<Bunnyboy> Sat in the sunshine at the Woodland Park Zoo and watched
Randy Newman last nite. Fun show.
<kend^> custer was from the town i was born in. there's a statue of him
on horseback right downtown
<StephenFosterKane> I mean, the cable ISP is past doornail
<Dexter_Fong> They had a Pentagon back then during the Indian wars?
<StephenFosterKane> they always get those statues wrong, don't they ;-)
<StephenFosterKane> he needs to be standing behind the horse
<kend^> i haven't seen it for years, can't remember how many hooves are
on the ground.
<Bunnyboy> Bubba: Sayles-inspired nick?

<Bunnyboy> If it's Muybridge's horse, perhaps none of the hooves are on
the ground.

<Dexter_Fong> It's not-a you bridge, it's a my bridge
