AMTS

[RinkChat] User Sam has been labeled 'AMTS #2' by Sam.
gremlinn: You're reworking the Albuquerque Metropolitan Transit System again? What was wrong the first time?
Sam: Trains were routed in opposite directions on the same length of connecting track between 86th and 74th.
Sam: Disaster was averted only by a freak chance of scheduling.
gremlinn: Ahh, whew.
gremlinn: Next time, don't assign routing to WhizKid.
Sam: Crash two trains!
gremlinn: You should have picked up on a clue when he had the 33rd St. bypass go through a tunnel and "eject untold passengers".

For those unaware, AMTS = All Movie Talk Special.

Tinkling

LaZorra: Oh my goodness, my father just sent me a text about his phone not going off when I text him. He said, "I have to set my phone to tinkle when you send me a message."
Goosey: LOL LOL
LaZorra: YOU KEEP USIING THAT WORD. I DO NOT THINK IT MEANS WHAT YOU THINK IT MEANS.
ThePhan: LOL LOL
Sam: LOL
ThePhan: What kind of phone does he have that HAS that setting?
gremlinn: Wow, cell phone technology's really taking off these days.
Sam: "tinkle" does actually also mean what he thinks it means.
LaZorra: TP: iPhone, Potty Patty generation.
LaZorra: Sam: Don't tinkle on my parade.
ThePhan: It does put a rather more interesting spin on when people inform me they have to tinkle. It means they just have to make a specific kind of noise.
Goosey: Tinkle, tinkle, little app! iPhone just went in my lap!
LaZorra: *snerk*

Mooooo

Sam: My records say that this is the first archivable LaZorra typo in 9 days.
Sam: You're slipping.
.
.
.
LaZorra: GGGGGGGGGOSEEY
* LaZorra actually thought she was mulitplying th O's.
LaZorra: MULLET-PLYING
Goosey: LOL
gremlinn: TH
LaZorra: MOOOO, DON'T MULTIPLY THE MULLETS
gremlinn: MOOOOOO!
Goosey: MOOOOO
ThePhan: MULLET-MULTIPLYING COWS
Nyperold: You're a veritable fountain now!
LaZorra: *N
Goosey: LOL LOL LOL
* LaZorra dies.
Nyperold: MOOOOON
ThePhan: LOL
LaZorra: SAM LOOK WHAT YOU DID

Pandora and Rascal

ThePhan: Pandora is making some weird choices tonight.
gremlinn: As long as she doesn't open that box again.
LaZorra: That's only natural, given its namesake.
LaZorra: BEAT
ThePhan: Ooer. Apparently that is gremlinn's first line in my RinkQuote blog.
gremlinn: I don't usually come in here.
* LaZorra read that like six times to mean that "Pooer" was rascal's first line.
LaZorra: Um.
gremlinn: You calling me a rascal?
LaZorra: *Ooer, and how the hell did I write my horse's name there instead of grem's.
LaZorra: grem: It would not be entirely inaccurate.
gremlinn: Back to wrok with you.
LaZorra:
ThePhan: LOL LOL
ThePhan: So your horse has been joining us in RinkChat all this time and we never knew.
Nyperold: Rascal has been taking lessons from Mr. Ed.
gremlinn: Typing with my hooves is hard work. Can I have my carrot now?
Nyperold: "How do you type with horseshoes on?"

Peanut Smoking

ThePhan: Uh.
ThePhan: Seth is pretending to smoke a peanut.
TalkingDog: LOL
* ThePhan scratches her head.
iwpg: Hah.
LaZorra: How do you know he's pretending? That might explain a lot.

Tiger

goldfishy: One of the paper headlines today was "Tiger Hurt In 2am Car Crash" - at first I thought I read it wrong and then I wondered how the poor tiger got hurt - if it was being transferred between zoos - turns out it was Tiger Woods

Ed

* LaZorra opens her mouth so wide to yawn that her head falls off.
* LaZorra thinks that means it's time to go to ed.
ThePhan: Tell Ed I say hi.
LaZorra: Um. O.o
* LaZorra wonders if that's Mr. Ed.
ThePhan: If your head falls off, I don't know that Mr. Ed can help.
LaZorra: Maybe he can holler for Wilbur.
ThePhan: In my mind, Wilbur will always be the pig from Charlotte's Web, who will also be no help.
LaZorra: TP: *cracks up*

Oogy

* TalkingDog hopes he can sleep soon. Oogy.
ThePhan: TD: I read that as "Orgy."
ThePhan: If you're having an orgy, that would explain why you're having trouble sleeping.
* TalkingDog blinks.
ThePhan: I suggest you send all your orgy friends away and then go to sleep.

Alone in the Shower

ThePhan: All right. Time to shower!
ThePhan is away.
Sam: I HOPE YOU'VE GOT COMPANY IN THE SHOWER.
Sam: IT'S TERRIBLE TO BE ALONE IN THE SHOWER!!!!
Sam has left.
LaZorra: LOL LOL, BEST DEIDLE AND EXIT EVAR
.
.
.
* LaZorra looks up at Sam's shower stuff again and cracks up.
LaZorra: Sam was the Psycho killer in another life, I think.

(It occurred to me about 10 minutes after I read it that he was probably referring to a conversation I'd had before I left, where we discussed how sometimes extroverts don't think introverts should EVER be alone. Which is a terrible, terrible thing for us to contemplate. So... yeah, I think he was responding to that. But it might be funnier on its own with no explanation at all.)

X-Mas Songs

ThePhan: I have a song in my iTunes library titled "x-mas songs" that is 42 minutes long and consists of no music or sound at all.
ThePhan: That is a very lame Christmas song.
ThePhan: I am not sure why this file exists.
Nyperold: Maybe it was composed by John Cage.
ThePhan: Heh
TalkingDog: Is it an atheist Christmas song?
ThePhan: TD: LOL
LaZorra: TD: LOL!

Spelling

ThePhan: So this silly application on Facebook that I play with (but don't publish to the wall) every once in awhile...
ThePhan: It gives you lists of things and you check off all the things you've done, or seen, or whatever.
ThePhan: This is "Which of these 90s movies have you seen?"
ThePhan: It is asking me about movies such as "Silnce of the lamb," "Bravehart," and "Robin hood prince of feves."
ThePhan: "10 things I hat about you."
ThePhan: "Star Wars Episode III The Phantam Menties."
Goosey: LOL LOL LOL
jaime: hahaha
ThePhan: (?!? "The Phantom Menace" wasn't even episode 3.)
ThePhan: And, my two personal favorites: "Deep In Pack" and "The Sixth Seance."
Goosey: They spelled the roman numeral wrong also.
Goosey: LOL LOL LOL

Nyperold: Hello!
Sam: I say, "LOL. I don't think so, dude." He says, "right one"
Goosey: Sam: ..
Nyperold: Uh...
Sam: THAT'S IT.
Goosey: LOL
Sam: WHAT THE HELL.
ThePhan: LOL
Goosey: Sam, you attract weirdos.

Revolving

(Randy's current connection is an unfortunate one that likes to make him revolve and repeat himself.)

Randy: I tore apart my room looking for my leatherman. I have 2, and couldn't find one.
.
.
.
Randy: I tore apart my room looking for my leatherman. I have 2, and couldn't find one.
wintermute: So I heard.
Nyperold: Which one?
Randy: gah.
Revan: Hehe.
ThePhan: This must have been another room.
wintermute: Actually, Nyp has a point. Have you tried looking for the other one?
ThePhan: Hehe
Nyperold: I was reminded of an oldish comic strip in which this girl tells a boy that she fell while carrying a carton of eggs, and didn't break one. He, of course, asked which one.
Randy:
Randy has left.
Randy has entered.
Randy: I'm gonna eat
Randy:
ThePhan: Heh
ThePhan: Are you taunting us because we are not eating?
goldfishy: Looks that way
goldfishy: He's trying to make us search out snacks so we can eat too
ThePhan: I tore apart my room looking for my snacks. I have 2, and couldn't find one.
goldfishy: Which one?
goldfishy: Hopefully it wasn't the better one!
Randy has left.
Randy has entered.
ThePhan: Actually, I have an enormous bag of candy sitting next to me. I'm good for the next several months as far as sweet tooth snacking goes.
Randy:
ThePhan: HE KEEPS TAUNTING US
Randy: GO AWAY STICKING TONGUE OUT SMILEY

Shout to the King!

ThePhan: So someone on my Facebook mentioned the song "Shout to the King" by Hillsong... For some reason all I could think was, "Shout to the King, and you're to blame! Darling, you give lo-o-ove a bad name!"
Lirelyn: LOL
* LaZorra dies laughing.
Lirelyn: Huh. I know a "Sing to the King" and a "Shout to the Lord."
LaZorra: I would SO TOTALLY sing that in church.

New Foods

ThePhan: I used to take cookbooks and combine the titles to make new foods.
ThePhan: I wouldn't actually MAKE the ne wfoods.
ThePhan: I just made them up.
ThePhan: My favorite were things that were very noncommital, things like "Grandma's Delicious American Surprise Supreme!"
Sam: LOL!!!
TalkingDog: That rules.
TalkingDog: Made with real Americans!
ThePhan: Or when you'd suddenly get an explanation at the end, more along these lines:
ThePhan: "Grandma's Delicious American Surprise and Ham!"

9 out of 10 Doctors

ThePhan has entered.
LaZorra: ONE TIME I HUGGED A PHAN
Sam: ONE TIME I ALSO HUGGED A PHAN
Randy: PHHHANNN!
Sam: PHAN SAY SOMETHING.
ThePhan: UH
Randy: 9 put of 10 doctors agree that hugging a Phan is good for you!
* ThePhan HUGS everyone!
Sam: Wow. Not what I would have chosen to say, but that works.
* Randy HUGS ThePhan!
Randy: The 10th doctor is a JERK
ThePhan: No, because the Tenth Doctor is David Tennant, who is awesome!

Defining Time With Sinbad

* ThePhan cracks up laughing. "Oh, I think I might blow"?
10Kan: Phan: where did that come from?
ThePhan: The second Sinbad from today.
ThePhan: That sounds like a measurement of time.
ThePhan: "I'll have my party two Sinbads from today."
Sentynel: 1 Sinbad: length of time taken for a terrifyingly muscular man to throw away his weapons
Sentynel: Not to be confused with 1 Jaffar, the length of time taken to say "HA!"
10Kan: So 10,000 Sinbads = 1 King of the Dead?
ThePhan: 10K: LOL LOL

:P:

Sam: :P:
Sam: *LOL
Sam: Gosh. You shift your fingers to the right a little, and suddenly you're licking the eyeballs that are coming out of your neck.
Goosey: LOL LOL LOL
ThePhan: LOL LOL
Maryam: LOL
TalkingDog:
Sam: -LOL

Dorm Life: Shirtless Warriors

ThePhan: Ah, dorm life.
Goosey: What now?
ThePhan: A bunch of shirtless guys just ran through our hallways making like... war cry noises.
Goosey: TP: LOL woo!
ThePhan: The girl across the hall from me: "I'm not sure what just happened..."
Goosey: LOL
Goosey: You have co-ed dorms then?
ThePhan: And now they're apparently doing it to all the other floors.
Nyperold: Sports-related, possibly.
Goosey: Sweet.
ThePhan: No, but it's open dorms right now. From 7-11 on Fridays and Saturdays we're allowed to freely roam through the opposite sex's dorms. Heh.
.
.
.
ThePhan: Uh. The shirtless warriors stole our hall trash can.
ThePhan: And now they're bringing it back.
ThePhan: Shortest prank ever.
.
.
.
ThePhan: ...Now the shirtless warriors are making seal noises?
ThePhan: I DON'T UNDERSTAND FRESHMEN
Goosey: TP: LOL
Goosey: You should throw them some fish.
Nyperold: I don't understand shirtless warriors.
Goosey: I think you should quick make a banner to put on your door that says, "WELCOME SHIRTLESS WARRIORS!"
Goosey: And I would put a sign underneath it that said, "I love Twilight. Come in, shirtless warriors, and kiss me like Edward."
Goosey: JUST KIDDING
ThePhan: You mean while trying to control me with mind powers and then working really hard not to kill me?
Goosey: TP: No, just the kissing part. That part sounds fun.
.
.
.
Goosey: I can hear kids and dogs tearing around upstairs.
ThePhan: Maybe they are stealing trash cans and running around without shirts on.
ThePhan: Well, I HOPE the dogs don't have shirts on.
Goosey: LOL
Sam: WHO LET THE DOGS DRESS?
Goosey: WHOOT. WHOOT, WHOOT WHOOT
ThePhan: Hmm. I think I am in a giggly mood right now from blog reading. Because that just sent me into an insane fit of laughter, and I'm pretty sure it shouldn't have.
Goosey: LOL
Sam: Yes, it definitely should not have.
Sam: I didn't even find it funny, and I made the joke.

NaNoWriMo

Dave: You know what is hard about NaNoWriMo?
Dave: The Wri part.
Dave: I'm good at the other three parts.
Dave: I'm the king of month.

zyzzyva: Or No could stand for 'Novella'.
TalkingDog: Or monkeys!
ThePhan: I WANT NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONKEYS

ThePhan: Hehe
TalkingDog: Would they have to write Shakespeare?

NaNoIsms...

* ThePhan cracks up.
ThePhan: Yeah, this is what happens when I try to write when I'm tired.
ThePhan: "It was time for my first session of the day: 'Writing From the Heart.' It was taught by a woman named Karen Writeheart."
ThePhan: HOW ABOUT NOT
Nyperold: ...
zyzzyva: Uh.
LaZorra: LOL LOL
* LaZorra HUGS Phan!

Bedtime Routine

ThePhan: My roommate is cracking me up, though.
ThePhan: I'm not even sure what she's doing.
ThePhan: She walked in and flopped down belly-first on her bed with a grunt.
ThePhan: Then she pushed herself back up and then flopped down and grunted again.
ThePhan: Then she flopped over onto her back and grunted.
ThePhan: Then she stood up, dove head-first onto her bed, pulled up the covers, and closed her eyes.
ThePhan: That's the most bizarre bedtime routine ever.
TalkingDog: LOL
TalkingDog: That rules.
* TalkingDog makes a note to write something like that in somewhere.
ThePhan: We should all try it. Maybe it's extremely relaxing and we just don't know.
LaZorra: Phan: I'm picturing all of us doing it in unison at a RU, LOL.
ThePhan: LZ: LOL LOL
