Robot Cashier

TalkingDog: Huh. My cashier was 9999? It's normally a name. I thought.
ThePhan: Your cashier was a robot!
TalkingDog: Or she's German, and there was some confusion when the manager asked for her name.
TalkingDog: But that seems unlikely.
TalkingDog: Probably a robot.

wintermute: It's good to know that Ben kept himself busy after leaving the Island.

Maryam: wm: Haha, yeah. He seems almost exactly the same character.

Maryam: We even call him Ben because we can't remember his name.

Maryam: And the other main character is Jesus.

Maryam: It's the Ben & Jesus show.

Four Funny Words

Sam: A few new searches: http://www.rinkworks.com/searches/

ThePhan: "how to get a guy to say more than 1 word" followed by "I HAVE TO THINK OF 4 FUNNY WORDS TO SAY TO SOMEONE" cracks me up.

ThePhan: I feel like the girl went to the guy and said, "You need to say four funny words."

Goosey: LOL

Sam: "Gah! Four! I can't think of four funny words! I'm so screwed! HALP, INTERNAT!"

The Boy and the Robber

ThePhan: Had an exciting morning!

ThePhan: I got to my practicum at the high school, only to find out they were on lockdown.

ThePhan: So I waited in the main office and then eventually, they were like, "Well, you can probably go home if you want."

ThePhan: I said, "I don't know what the situation is, but, uh, I walked here. So I get someone to drive me back?"

ThePhan: They got all serious and said, "Well, yes, there's an armed robber on the loose, and we don't know if he's in a vehicle or on foot, so I think you'd better see if you can get a ride."

ThePhan: Thankfully The Boy was not in class and was able to come get me.

Grishny: The Boy? Eustace from Scary-Go-Round?

ThePhan: LOL

Grishny: You got a ride with Dark Esther's boyfriend. You better watch out, I hear she's a mean boxer.

ThePhan: No, although that would be interesting. I meant my boyfriend.

* ThePhan started calling him The Boy in chat when they were in that weird phase when they were "talking about stuff," but not actually together.

Grishny: And after you got home did you don your costumes and go out to find and apprehend the armed robber?

ThePhan: LOL LOL

ThePhan: Of course.

Grishny: "To The Boy-Cave, The Boy!"

No Cattle For You

Sentynel: Stop linking stuff then so I can go!

Sentynel: ALL YOUR FAULT.

Goosey: LaZ: Kick him out of his misery

Sentynel: On the other hand, if I stay up another twenty minutes I can get another episode of Castle downloaded overnight...

[RinkChat] User Sentynel has been kicked from the room by LaZorra.

Sentynel: Is a camoo a camel/cow hybrid?

* ThePhan now imagines Sentynel living in a castle full of cattle.

Goosey: Camoos are the minions of Camou-Fairy.

Sentynel: That's a scary thought.

Goosey: LaZ is the only one who can stop them.

Goosey: By shooting carrots out her nose.

Sentynel: Camou-Fairy minions. Not a castle full of cattle. That's just bemusing.

Sentynel: And smelly.

Goosey: LOL

Nintendo Cartridges and Micoly

ThePhan: So earlier this evening Jacob and I had overheard this weird conversation where these guys were talking about treating a girl like a Nintendo cartridge by, for example, blowing in her face. And we both agreed that he should not in any way take that relationship advice.

ThePhan: Then just a bit ago I had sent Jacob a spam message I got this evening from someone named Micoly Smith and warned him that he could be replaced if he tried to treat me like a Nintendo cartridge.

ThePhan: This is the message I get back:

ThePhan: "LOL!! Micoly sounds pretty cool. He sounds kinda like he would have the intention to treat you classy-like, what with his open and warmth heart and all. He'll probably walk up behind you and blow on your face. Then all his awesome attributes would be for naught."

LaZorra: LOL

LaZorra: Hey, if a guy can walk up BEHIND you and blow on your FACE, that's talent to respect.

* TalkingDog is the best NES cartridge blower ever. He occasionally causes them to emit an eardrum-piercing whistle. And then they work.

ThePhan: TD: LOL LOL, I just have this image of you blowing in a girl's face and she suddenly whistles.

TalkingDog: That would be incredibly weird.

The Trouble With Fruit

ThePhan: Guys, I haven't eaten an apple in so long that I forgot they have a core.

LaZorra: THEY TASTE LIKE REAL GOOSEY

Assimilation

ThePhan: My silly minigoal this weekend: get The Boy to wander into Chat for a few minutes to say hi to people. Since you are all kind of a large part of what I do with my life.

ThePhan: Heh

10Kan: Yesss.

* Sentynel plots

ThePhan: LOL

ThePhan: I may have to be sitting in the room with him when he comes in, so I can reassure him if you people get creepy.

ThePhan: :-P

ThePhan: Er, and by "room" I mean the same physical room. Not the chatroom.

Sentynel: ./msg The_Boy THEY'RE NICE REALLY I SWEAR

Sentynel: There's a film called Anonymous, about some Shakespeare conspiracy theory, which has just come out over here and is being heavily advertised.

Sentynel: Tackle the global financial system, take down darknet child porn hosts, stir up debate about Shakespeare...
