* iwpg got a spam with subject line "Do you use them for good, or for awesome?"

Infomercials

LaZorra: I just saw two infomercials on the TV guide: "Straight Sexy Hair" and "Rock-Hard Abs."
LaZorra: I think they ought to be combined into "Straight, Rock-Hard, Sexy, Hairy Abs."

The Princess and the Frog

* Nyperold watches the preview for The Princess and the Frog.
Nyperold: Hopefully, in the real feature, the princess is not holding the frog over a balcony when she kisses him.

Silly Hat Day

ThePhan: Apparently tomorrow is Silly Hat Day at VBS.
Maryam: VBS?
ThePhan: My little brothers are preparing. They are all going to rock the silly hats.
ThePhan: Vacation Bible School. It's like a mini church camp for kids in the summer.
Maryam: Oh yeah. People keep talking about that in here.
Maryam: I think.
LaZorra: TP: That is AWESOME.
LaZorra: I personally think there should be a Silly Hat Day at every RU.
ThePhan: Maryam: Yeah, it's a pretty standard thing for a lot of churches.
Maryam: Silly Hat Day is a standard thing for a lot of churches? AWESOME.
ThePhan: Heh, well, Silly Hat Day isn't standard, but VBS is. Silly Hat Day SHOULD be standard, though.
Maryam: Hehe, I was kidding.
ThePhan: Heh
* ThePhan wishes!
Maryam: For the Pope, every day is Silly Hat Day.

Guessing comics

* TalkingDog made a quick comic. http://talkingodlor.deviantart.com/art/Journal-Comic-7-20-09-130249282
Ticia: DOG COMIC
Ticia: ... That I don't understand.
* Ticia scratches her head.
TalkingDog: Hehe. That's about what my image folder looks like. Lots of random thumbnails. But at least they're less random to me.
TalkingDog: I think I mostly drew that to see who could guess what each was.
TalkingDog: Anyone who figures out the first thumbnail is awesome or insane or both.
LaZorra: TD: Well, duh. Clearly they are PICTURES THAT MAKE YOU WANT TO YELL AND GROW A UNIBROW.
10Kan: LOL
TalkingDog: LOL
LaZorra: I don't know why that needed to be in all caps. It just did.
10Kan: Better check the bridge of your nose for a unibrow.
TalkingDog: It's not actually a unibrow, anyways.
10Kan: Or slightly above the bridge of your nose.
LaZorra: I know. I couldn't help myself.
LaZorra: Everyone should have a folder of pictures that make them want to yell and grow a unibrow.
* TalkingDog doesn't know if he's ever seen one of those.
LaZorra: hehe
* ThePhan looks at the comic and guesses.
ThePhan: #7 = pictures of Arthurian legend!
TalkingDog: Know what I haven't played with in ages? Soda Constructor. I wonder if it's still even there...
ThePhan: #10 = land mases!
TalkingDog: LOL
TalkingDog: They're supposed to be individual images, not catagories there.
ThePhan: #5 = trophies that have celestial bodies orbiting them!
ThePhan: #11 = pictures of my dad!
ThePhan: That's all I got.
TalkingDog: 7: No. 10: Close, sort of. 5: No. 11: You are a silly.
* LaZorra is losing it.
ThePhan: I'm close on #10? Hmm.
LaZorra: You all are too funny.
TalkingDog: You wouldn't know #10.
TalkingDog: Ticia would.
LaZorra: 4: BUNNAY
TalkingDog: BUNNAY
ThePhan: Pictures of Utah!
TalkingDog: Hehe, no, I don't have any pics of Utah.
* LaZorra would totally believe that TD has a whole folder of bunnies.
LaZorra: Er, bunny PICTURES.
LaZorra: Because a folder full of bunnies sounds a bit messy.

Mario Kart + Charlie Brown

TalkingDog: Hmm. Somehow, this Mario Kart remix reminds me of Charlie Brown.
LaZorra: O.o
LaZorra: Charlie Kart!
TalkingDog: Hehehe.
LaZorra: Where you can never, ever, under any conditions, win the race.
ThePhan: LOL
ThePhan: Whenever you try to get into the car, they pull it out from under you.
TalkingDog: LOL
LaZorra: LOL
TalkingDog: But if you play Snoopy, you can ride his dog house like a fighter plane.
* LaZorra cracks up.

Clothes, food, and fictional people

[RinkChat] The chat room's topic has been changed to 'LaZorra: I am NOT removing my toupee for Snow White.' by TopicBot.
Sam: LOL
ThePhan: Snow White probably wouldn't request that anyway...
Sam: That's reminiscent of "I would not share my dress with Captain Kirk."
iwpg: LOL
ThePhan: Heh, yeah, I thought at first maybe it came from the same chat session.
Sam: No.
Sam: I don't remember the Snow White one.
* LaZorra has NO RECOLLECTION of that at ALL.
ThePhan: 85% of our chats revolve around how we and our clothes would interact with fictional characters!
ThePhan: And then food.
LaZorra: LOL
Sam: Bonus points to get all three!
* Sam would not loan his jello catsuit to Eleanor Roosevelt.
ThePhan: I am NOT removing my candy necklace for Snow White.
ThePhan: Eleanor Roosevelt is not as fictional as the other two.
* ThePhan would not trade her socks to Paul Bunyan for a taco.
Sam: Maybe not the First Lady. I was talking about Eleanor Roosevelt, the famous inventor of the shuriken-shooting doorstop.
LaZorra: Oooh, for a taco?
LaZorra: I think I might trade my socks for a taco.
LaZorra: I would not, however, trade a taco for Paul Bunyan's socks.

Hope & joy LaZorra

LaZorra: I am a beacon of hope and joy: No sooner am I accepted to the Walter Cronkite School of Journalism than Walter Cronkite dies.

Offline websites

LaZorra: Facebook is displaying an ad that reads, "Need an Online WebSite?"
LaZorra: No, dear Web designers, I must have an offline website.
LaZorra: Or WebSite, if you prefer.
ThePhan: Heh
Goosey: LOL
Sam: I have an offline website in addition to RinkWorks.
Sam: All the best stuff is on the offline site.
Sam: To protect it from ahckers.
Sam: Ahckers can't break into an offline site.
Sam: RinkWorks just has the miscellaneous crap that I don't really care about but which occasionally entertains the easily-amused.
Sam: You should see "RinkWorks Offline," though. It's AWESOME.
Goosey: LOL
Sam: I've got this great bot game on it called HotOrNotBotLive. People just file through the living room.
Sam: Also, Murkon's Refuge has real-time 3D animated monsters.
ThePhan: LOL
* LaZorra comes back to the window and cracks up.
Goosey: LOL
* ThePhan wants to play HotOrNotBotLive!
TalkingDog: Things People Will Say must be useful.
* Goosey DOESN'T!!
Goosey: TD: LOL!!!
Sam: I do.
Goosey: Okay, Phan. My-skin-is-dog-chews man came come file through YOUR living room.
Goosey: Also Grandpa von Steppenwergen.
Sam: ...who is skin-is-dog-chews man??
Goosey: The uber-tanned muscley man in a thong who is standing gripping his back muscles for the camera.
Goosey: UBT 3
Sam: Also, Grandpa von Steppenwergen wasn't so bad-looking in his younger vampire days.

Speeding excuse

Ghost of Sam: I once had a Massachusetts COP pass me in the middle of a one-lane exit ramp. He wasn't speeding anywhere and didn't have his lights on. He just got sick of me going the speed limit.
* LaZorra goes 80 in a 65.
LaZorra: But then, most people do around here.
Ghost of Sam: LaZ: That's because you're always running late for bot games.
LaZorra: TRUE
LaZorra: And a police officer would be totally understanding of that.

LaZorra and Einstein

LaZorra: Working out time!
LaZorra is away.
wintermute: LaZ: Einstein beat you to it.

Shaken, Not Stirred

LaZorra: Okay, so as I was saying, we're watching James Bond and one of the girls on it just ordered a martini "shaken, not stirred."
Maryam: THIS CHAT ROOM IS SHAKEN NOT STIRRED
LaZorra: And my mother felt she had to inform me that this was James Bond's signature drink.
ThePhan: LOL
Goosey: LOL
LaZorra: HELLO I AM 24 YEARS OLD I THINK I KNOW WHAT JAMES BOND DRINKS.
ThePhan: "James Bond is a secret agent, you see."
Goosey: LOL LOL
ThePhan: "His number is 007."
Maryam: LOL
iwpg: LOL
Maryam: Even I know that, and I haven't watched any Bond movies.
LaZorra: TP: I felt like she was next going to tell me that he introduces himself as "Bond, James Bond." :-p
TalkingDog: Liface is James Bond.
LaZorra: D: LIFEACE HAS A LICENSE TO KILL????
TalkingDog: One time he said "Did you kno that I am ool?" "ool" in 733t is 007.
ThePhan: LOL
Goosey: LOL LOL
TalkingDog: So he was telling everyone he's a spy. He's not very good at it.

Seth Story: Money

ThePhan: SETH STORY
Randy: WOOOO
ThePhan: Seth comes downstairs and looks in his change jar and takes some money out of it.
ThePhan: Mom says, "Uh... what are you doing?"
ThePhan: Seth: "Getting some money."
ThePhan: Mom: "What do you need money for at 10:00 at night?"
ThePhan: Seth: "...I just have a feeling that I might need some money tonight."
Randy: hehe
ThePhan: Turns out he sat on Joel's bed and Joel told him if he wanted to be able to get back off the bed, he had to pay Joel 50 cents.
ThePhan: So he came down to get that.
ThePhan: Mom told Joel he was not allowed to charge anyone to get off the bed. Heh.

Mandy

* ThePhan just found her roommate on Facebook.
Randy: What's her name?
ThePhan: Her name's Mandy.
Randy: Did she come and give without taking?
ThePhan: LOL LOL
ThePhan: Yes, but I sent her away.

Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and James Bond

(During a discussion about Chitty Chitty Bang Bang.)

Sam: The crew behind the movie didn't exactly come from a musical background. It was pretty much the whole James Bond crew behind the camera, and had a lot of the same actors, too.
ThePhan: Heh. Really?
Sam: Yeah.
Sam: Presumably because Ian Fleming wrote the book, and so the producers of the Bond series were all, "Hey, let's make this too!"
Lirelyn: Wow. That's funny.
* Lirelyn is now picturing Truly Scrumptious as a Bond girl.
Lirelyn: On the plus side, she doesn't have to change her name.
ThePhan: Lirelyn: LOL. The name's about right.
ThePhan: BEAT
Lirelyn: I wonder how few changes one could make to turn Chitty Chitty Bang Bang into a recognizable Bond flick.
Sam: "My name's Bang Bang. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang."
Sam: Gert Frobe would have to put the car on a sheet of gold and start up a laser that cuts right through it.
Sam: "No, Mr. Bang Bang, I expect you to be scrapped!"

Saxophones

* TalkingDog suddenly wants to learn saxophone.
* Nyperold read that as "* TalkingDog suddenly wants to learn semaphore." somehow.
TalkingDog: I think that would require a second saxophone.

Gators and GRAVY!

Sam: One time I ate a gator.
...
Sam: And I meant a live gator. I ate it by accident.
Revan: Did you really accidentally eat a live gator?
Sam: Yeah.
Sam: I tripped over a tree root when my mouth was open.
TalkingDog: With gravy?
ThePhan: GRAVY! (A reference to my comment on this page.)
Sam: GRAVY!
TalkingDog: GRAVY!
Sam: No, gravy does not occur naturally in the wild. Even in the Everglades. So let's not be silly.

Bei T

ThePhan: Heh. That could bei t.
wintermute: BEI T!
* ThePhan is trying to think of a funny definition for "Bei T" But nothing's coming to mind.
ThePhan: It's Beirut without an RU.
ThePhan: Beirut without a RinkUnion?
TalkingDog: Bay tea?
TalkingDog: You'd need a lot of teabags.
ThePhan: LOL
Sam: Beirut has lacked RinkUnions for its entire existence.
