Seth's Burial Plan

ThePhan: SETH IS INSANE

ThePhan: He has just informed me that when he is buried, he wants to have a motion-activated sound file of a Dalek yelling, "EXTERMINATE!" by his grave.

ThePhan: And on his tombstone will be written, "I'm not going alone!"

ThePhan: THIS IS THE CREEPIEST THING EVER

Gordon Ramsay = A Duck

Goosey: This episode of Kitchen Nightmares, the owners/chefs is a set of twin brothers who are turning out to be, like, the emo version of Tweedledee and Tweedledum.

Goosey: They are both big, round, dress identical, finish each other's sentences. They are messy, lazy, and when Chef Gordon yells at them for serving expired chicken, one yells back like a child, and the other goes to the back alley and cries and calls himself a failure.

Goosey: It's very sad.

Maryam: Don't they know that yelling is Gordon Ramsay's natural state? It has nothing to do with you personally. It's like taking it hard if a duck quacks at you.

Goosey: LOL LOL That's a perfect way to put it.

TalkingDog: A duck quacked at me once. And I didn't cry. Ha!

Pirate Password

Paladin852: It's really strange...all of a sudden the computer acts as though I'm holding down a key (usually r) and continues to type it over and over even when I unplug the keyboard

TalkingDog: That sounds pretty bizarre.

Paladin852: Rebooting usually fixes it, but when it doesn't I can't log in to my computer because my password, unfortunately, is not rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

TalkingDog: Maybe you need to change it to rrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

iwpg: Maybe the system clock's broken and it thought it was Talk Like a Pirate day.

Rubber Bean Paste Buns

LaZorra: Sent: My brother and I used to be rubber band guns.

LaZorra: Er. *used to USE rubber band guns.

* LaZorra remembers the good old days, back when she was just a wee rubber band gun.

Goosey: LaZ: That 's quiet the evolution from rubber band gun to Master.

LaZorra: LOL

* Goosey almost typed "rubber band bun"

LaZorra: LOL LOL

LaZorra: owwww

LaZorra: Rubber band bun sounds hair-pulling.

Paladin852: LOL

Goosey: I was imagining something chewier.

Goosey: RUBBER BEAN PASTE BUNS

LaZorra: LOL LOL

LaZorra: Oh my goodness, oh my goodness! Oh my goodness, oh my goodness! rubber bean paste buns.

Aggressive Smurf Music

Goosey: AHAHAH Okay, I'm watching Kitchen Nightmares and I have the captions on

wintermute is away.

Goosey: And they just did the "In this episode" teaser bit, and moved on to the theme song intro, okay?

Goosey: So the captions said (aggressive surf music)

Goosey: Which is guess isn't that funny, but it made me laugh.

ThePhan: Heh.

ThePhan: It was even funnier when I read "aggressive smurf music."

Goosey: LOL LOL

Randy: LA LA LALALA LA LA LA LAAAAAA

Randy: (Sung with a death metal growl)

Goosey: LOL

Usufructose

Ticia: I learned a new word just now.

Ticia: usufruct

Ticia: Actually, it's an old word.

Ticia: It means "the legal right of using and enjoying the fruits or profits of something belonging to another "

Ticia: Thomas Jefferson said ""that the earth belongs in usufruct to the living": that the dead have neither powers nor rights over it... "

wintermute: If I ever become an organic chemist and invent / discover a new type of sugar, I'm going to call it usufructose.

Goosey: LOL

Ticia: Awesome!

Ticia: It'd be better if it had already been invented/discovered by someone else.

Ticia: You'd just rename it and enjoy the fruits (hehe) of their labor.

wintermute: You don't want me to be a sugar genius?

Ticia: Just, in the spirit of the word.

* ThePhan now wants to write a kids' book about a little boy who wants to be a sugar genius when he grows up but everyone tells him he can't.

Newbite

Sentynel: Greetings, newbite!

Sentynel: um

Sentynel: *newbie

Sentynel: I ALWAYS make that typo.

Sentynel: It's a bit concerning.

The Philosophy of Sass

(I was studying for philosophy.)

ThePhan: OK. Now I just have to figure out which of these essay questions I could probably write on and study those...

* LaZorra comes back from the shower, wet hair in her eyes, and reads, "Now I just have to figure out which of these sassy questions I could probably write on and study those..."

ThePhan: LOL

ThePhan: I'm taking Introduction to Sassy Question Asking.

Goosey: LOL

LaZorra: "Girlfriend, why would anyone EVER think that the straw man fallacy is effective? Don't even TRY to pretend it is."

LaZorra: (Sass and philosophy don't go together so well.)

Goosey: Sassy Question Asking for Women. For short, SQAW

LaZorra: LOL >:-|

Keeping Up With the Sentences

(Talking about Chuck.)

* ThePhan doesn't watch Chuck, but others might.

Goosey: TP: You are missing out.

goldfishy: I've tried a couple of times to watch it and I just couldn't get into it

ThePhan: My mom watched it for awhile. I've heard I might like it but never got around to it.

Maryam: It scores a lot of geek points.

Randy: I haven't kept up with the past two sentences

Randy: Seasons

ThePhan: LOL

Randy: gah

ThePhan: TOO MUCH WORK TO READ THE LAST TWO SENTENCES

Leave No Tract

10Kan: I DID IT AGAIN

TalkingDog: bwa?

goldfishy: WHAT DID YOU DO?

10Kan: Inked my hand. :(

TalkingDog: Oops.

10Kan: This is probably because I've taken to re-capping my marker like a samurai sheathing his katana. :-/

goldfishy: Surely that is the best way

goldfishy: You just need to be more ninja

10Kan: It's mighty satisfying when I do it right.

goldfishy: Leave no tract

goldfishy: *trace

goldfishy: How terrifying would it be if your marker suddenly started writing out religious propaganda on your finger every time you tried to put the cap on?

FIAR Slinkies

Goosey: LOL I picked up a book and accidentally knocked my hanging slinky, which movement the corner of my eye interpreted as FIAR!!!! and my heart tried to jump out of my mouth before my head could turn to look and see what it really was.

10Kan: FIAR slinkies are terrifying.

Goosey: I can see the headlines now. "Woman Scares Self To Death With Slinky"

10Kan: "What rolls downstairs, and burns off your hair..."

Goosey: LOL

10Kan: Really, we've had fireballs for so long it was inevitable that other toys would jump on the burning bandwagon.

Goosey: FIAR SLINKY could be a good platform puzzle game.

10Kan: Yeah. You have to get the slinky to the bottom before the house (which you're setting on fire as you move) collapses around you or something.

Stud

ThePhan: It's so difficult studying methods when I'm the only theater ed stud around and I'm lumped into the same class as all the other education majors.

ThePhan: Uh. Student, not stud.

* ThePhan is not a theater ed stud.

LaZorra: LOL

LaZorra: I would have gone with "rock star" myself, but hey.

Carbofrax

Ticia: Oh, did I tell you we named our house?

Ticia: Carbofrax.

Ticia: it's a good name.

Goosey: LOL Yes. After a brick you found.

Ticia: We have a brick that says Carbofrax out in the front yard.

Goosey: BEAT

Ticia: Hehe

Ticia: Well... it posted at the exact same time.

Ticia: So it's more like...

Ticia: JINX

Ticia: You can't talk till I say your name!

[RinkChat] User Goosey has been quieted by Goosey.

Ticia: That's how that works, right?

Ticia: LOL

[RinkChat] User Goosey has been unquieted by Goosey.

10Kan: That's an awesome name for a house.

Ticia: Carbofrax.

10Kan: ...Even though it sounds like an expletive.

Ticia: It's just fun to say, too.

Sentynel: Carbofrax would be an awesome name for a pet, too.

Ticia: Hehe, true.

iwpg: It would be an awesome name for pretty much anything.

Nyperold: "This is my pet bunny, Carbofrax."

Goosey: "This is my pet tarantula, Carbofrax"

iwpg: "This is my giant robot, Carbofrax."

Goosey: "Do you like my new recipe? I call it Carbofrax Casserole."

Sentynel: It feels like it should have "the" before it, though.

Nyperold: int Carbofrax ();

Sentynel: This is my pet world-destroying monster, The Carbofrax.

10Kan: "I am Carbofrax, conqueror of Zifpalap!"

Goosey: "New CHEDDAR flavored Carbofrax!"

Ticia: Casa Carbofrax

10Kan: "Abracadabra! Alakazam! Carbofrax!"

Goosey: "Grease? Soap scum? No problem with Carbofrax Glass & Surface!"

10Kan: It's a floor polish AND a dessert topping!

Goosey: LOL

Nyperold: "We don't have Carbofrax on my planet, eh rumble?" "That's 'cause you're a commonest fool!"

Ticia: You guys are carboFRAX

Goosey: =-O

Ticia: I wonder if we could make carbofrax the new "Awesome"

Goosey: LOL

Ticia: Dude, that show is carbofrax.

Ticia: Oh, or maybe we could make carbofrax the new "Dude"

Ticia: "Carbofrax, that show is awesome!"

Ticia: Hey, carbofrax! How's it hangin?"

10Kan: CarBROfrax!

Sentynel: I am so in favour of this.

[RinkChat] The chat room's topic has been changed to '"Carbofrax" is the new "dude", carbofrax.' by Sentynel.

Ticia: LOL

Sam has entered.

10Kan: Carbofrax, Sam!

Sam: Carbofrax, where's my car?

Ticia: Carbofrax!

10Kan: St. Carbofrax: patron of Rinkies

How Conversations Work

Ticia: Thomas had a "Slither" in his foot. She pulled it out and now he's bleeding. "He wasn't crying." though.

Ticia: Tiny bit of blood on his foot, and she's freaking out.

Goosey: LOL

Ticia: Abby

Goosey: She who?

Goosey: Ah

Ticia: Goosey: You should try to type your question *before* I type the answer.

Ticia: Conversations work better that way.

Ticia: :-D

Goosey: :P

Placeholders

ThePhan: My first paragraph of my paper. Placeholders are fun:

ThePhan: "In this paper I will be looking at the theory of identity found through psychological continuity and interconnectedness, as posed in John Perry’s A Dialogue on Personal Identity and Immortality, and how I believe it is the best way to define personal identity. I will show this by doing stuff. This is important because yo, we totally need identity, dude."

Goosey: TP: LOL Kind of unraveled there near the end.

Randy: WE TOTALLY NEED IDENTITY DUDE

Goosey: TP: TOPICBOT

* ThePhan just needs to remember to go back and fill that in after she's written the body of the paper.

ThePhan: Otherwise I may get a lowish grade.

.

.

.

ThePhan: I've tweaked the opening paragraph a bit now that I know where I'm going with the paper, but the last bit still reads: "In the dialogue, this becomes important as a way of dealing with life after death, but the question of identity is also important for individuals as they, er, think about identity and stuff."

Sim Seth

ThePhan: Over Easter break, the kids and I made a whole Sim family of us kids.

ThePhan: We tried to make them look like us and make their personalities match up, too.

ThePhan: So Seth's Sim, for the first like three days he was alive, all he did was jump on the beds.

Goosey: TP: LOL!

ThePhan: Then, a few Simdays later, Sim Nathan (who we accidentally made far too lazy) sat around whining about how he wanted to go to the bathroom, but wouldn't go on his own, so eventually he peed on the floor...

ThePhan: ...and a minute or two later, Seth comes along and STARTS PLAYING IN IT.

Goosey: HAHAHAHAHA

Ticia: LOL

ThePhan: We all turned to real-life Seth and were like, "SETH! That is DISGUSTING!" and he just kept looking embarrassed and giggling.

ThePhan: Hehe

Goosey: LOL

LaZorra: LOL LOL LOL

Abby's Song

Ticia: Abby is singing to herself "I would please like my family back. May I please have them back? I would like my family."

Ticia: what an odd kid.

ThePhan: LOL

TalkingDog: Tiny people rule.

Ticia: "far away in the night, I want to go. Family. I will go."

Goosey: LOL LOL

Ticia: That's what I've caught.

Ticia: There's a lot more.

Ticia: "I have not seen them for twooooo years. And it will probably be for threeeee."

ThePhan: LOL LOL

Ticia: Oh my goodness, she's the craziest kid ever.

Goosey: I LOVE HER

ThePhan: I would totally go see a musical with songs she wrote.

* Ticia opens up garage band to see if she can capture some of this.

Ticia: "Why should I care about them, love them. If I can't touch them, see them!"

Pants Wars (Star Pants?)

LaZorra: TD: In honor of May the Fourth, substitute "pants" for a word in a Star Wars quote.

TalkingDog: Hmmmm.

LaZorra: One of my favorites thus far: "I find your lack of pants disturbing."

TalkingDog: That one rules.

LaZorra: Also, "I cannot teach him. The boy has no pants."

* TalkingDog tries an Episode III line. "It's over, Anakin! I have the high pants!"

Goosey: LOL

LaZorra: LOL

* LaZorra imagines those old man pants that come up to one's chest, with a tie tucked in.

LaZorra: And a lightsaber.

.

.

.

Grishny: "That's because droids don't tear people's pants off when they lose."

LaZorra: o.o

* LaZorra loses it.

LaZorra: please please please go post that on my FB status, LOL.

Smelling

LaZorra: I see we are talking about ice cream, peanut butter, and abhorrance of dish-washing.

LaZorra: abhorance?

LaZorra: Abbhorrance?

LaZorra: HOW THE HELL DO YOU SMELL IT AND OH YUCK SOMEONE IS

Goosey: Abhorrence

Goosey: WHAT ARE YOU SMELLING?

LaZorra: *SMOKING YOUTSEID

ThePhan: ...What?

LaZorra: ...*outside

ThePhan: LOL LOL OK

Goosey: LOL LOL LOL

* LaZorra got up in a hurry to close the door.

Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Ice Cream

Goosey: Everybody who hasn't tried this before should go get a jar of peanut butter, a handful of chocolate chips, and a spoon, and try this right now.

ThePhan: I do not currently possess peanut butter, chocolate chips, or a spoon.

Goosey: SO SAD

ThePhan: (Seriously, I don't own a spoon. LOL. I hardly ever eat anything that requires one.)

Goosey: LOL

Goosey: For this exercise, a fork or a knife works just about as well.

ThePhan: True.

ThePhan: I think I'd end up using a LOT of chocolate chips though.

ThePhan: A little peanut butter goes a long long way for me.

ThePhan: If I mix it all in and then freeze it, do I get something resembling peanut butter chocolate chip ice cream?

ThePhan: Could I pour milk into the jar and mix it all up and THEN freeze it and get peanut butter chocolate chip ice cream?

Goosey: Peanut butter doesn't freeze too well

Goosey: LOL LOL

Goosey: Neither does milk.

ThePhan: WELL HOW CAN I MAKE PEANUT BUTTER CHOCOLATE CHIP ICE CREAM DANG IT

Goosey: I DO NOT KNOW

Goosey: ALL I HAVE IS A SPOON

Pizza Fight

LaZorra: PIZZA

LaZorra: Man, I haven't had pizza in weeks.

LaZorra: *sudden cravings*

ThePhan: COME HERE I CAN BUY YOU PIZZA

Goosey: LAZORRA I AM CLOSER COME HERE I WILL BUY YOU PIZZA

LaZorra: LOL

* LaZorra is carb-fasting. :-(

LaZorra: And sugar-fasting.

LaZorra: Except for ice cream today.

ThePhan: LAZORRA COME HERE I WILL BUY YOU PIZZA AND YOU CAN JUST EAT THE TOPPINGS

LaZorra: LOL

Goosey: I WILL JUST MAKE YOU TOPPINGS TO EAT A BIG BOWL OF TOPPINGS

* LaZorra can't stop cracking up.

ThePhan: I WILL MAKE ALL MY FRIENDS PUT ON A DINNER THEATER PRESENTATION JUST FOR YOU WHILE YOU EAT YOUR TOPPINGS

Goosey: I WILL TAKE YOU OUT TO ALL THE MOVIES YOU MISSED WHILE YOU WERE IN SCHOOL AND FEED YOU TOPPINGS AND CHOCOLATE

LaZorra: I THINK WE JUST NEED TO ALL MEET IN SOME CENTRAL LOCATION AND EAT PIZZA TOPPINGS AND WATCH MOVIES

Goosey: YES

ThePhan: YES

ThePhan: Since I have run out of special things to offer LaZorra to convince her to come here. :-(

ThePhan: Really, there's no reason to ever be in Indiana.

Goosey: LOL LOL

Goosey: Awwww, there's no town called "Jones, Indiana"

ThePhan: If there was, I bet I could convince LaZ to go there.

Goosey: Totally.

LaZorra: LOL

LaZorra: How is there not a Jones, Indiana?

Goosey: LETS ALL MOVE THERE AND MAKE ONE

LaZorra: THAT WILL BE THE RINKIE COMMUNE

Peter Human

(I was working on a class essay.)

ThePhan: 75 WORDS LEFT

ThePhan: WHAT TO SAY

Goosey: TP: "And so, in conclusion -- or in other words to sum up -- . .. "

ThePhan: Hehe.

ThePhan: All I can think is "The Book Report" from You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown

ThePhan: "And they were very, very, very, very, very happy to be human. 94, 95... The very, very, very end."

ThePhan: Er. Home. Not human.

ThePhan: PETER RABBIT DID NOT TURN INTO A HUMAN

Goosey: LOL LOL

ThePhan: But if he did, he'd apparently be very, very, very, very, very happy about it.

Nonsense Songs

(We were talking about being frustrated with someone)

goldfishy: I was just sat humming to myself this repetitive little tune with the words "gotta go set her bunk on fire, bunk on fire, bunk on fire" going round my head over and over...

ThePhan: LOL LOL

ThePhan: You echo my sentiments exactly.

goldfishy: But I didn't mean to! It was totally subconscious - I just became aware of what I was doing

ThePhan: goldfishy: There's a song I made up once for my siblings by just singing whatever words came out of my mouth.

ThePhan: It was complete and utter nonsense but somehow became one of the songs we sing all the time.

* ThePhan sings it for you now.

ThePhan: Eat, eat, eat, o migrant of Bairn! Jolly and jostful and jolly art thee! When I climb a-into the mountains, all of the mountains are all I can see!

LaZorra: LOL LOL

ThePhan: Chorus: Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat! Food is a-plenty and food is divine! Eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat, eat! All of the food on the table is mine!

LaZorra: Phan, you are made of so much win.

ThePhan: Verse 2: Falling fast and fluid and free! Everyone's happy and everyone cares! Something must be under the table! Under the table are hundreds of bears!

ThePhan: Repeat the chorus again.

ThePhan: That's it.

goldfishy: Bears under the table!

LaZorra: ARE THEY AMISH BEARS

ThePhan: ALMOST CERTAINLY

goldfishy: They are indeed a mish mash of bears - I see polar bears rubbing shoulders with grizzly bears

Randy: BEARS AAAAGH

ThePhan: It all goes to a jaunty little tune.

Randy: LOL LOL LOL

* LaZorra is totally cracking up.

Maryam: Phan: LOL!

ThePhan: goldfishy: Well, at least I believe in a diverse community of bears.

[RinkChat] The chat room's topic has been changed to 'UNDER THE TABLE ARE HUNDREDS OF BEARS' by LaZorra.

CHICKENGOBOOM

ThePhan: ...My order of popcorn chicken is one piece of popcorn chicken and then like EIGHT OF THEM ALL MELDED TOGETHER INTO A MUTANT SUPERPOPCORN CHICKEN

Sentynel: Frankenchicken.

goldfishy: I wonder what would happen if you put teeny tiny bits of chicken, corn sized bits, and put them in a popcorn maker

Sentynel: Burnt chicken bits.

goldfishy: Exploding chicken would be more fun

ThePhan: If you had a giant popcorn maker and fell in it while it was exploding popcorn chicken, you would probably gain superpowers.

goldfishy: What would your superpower be...

Sentynel: Delicious ones.

goldfishy: And when you turned into your superhero alias would you suddenly be encrusted in a greasy shell of batter?

LaZorra: CHICKENGOBOOM

ThePhan: LaZorra has spoken. "CHICKENGOBOOM" would be your superpower.

Sentynel: The power to explode chickens?

Sentynel: I'm so in for that.

goldfishy: Unless it was dead chickens in the supermarket I'd feel cruel

goldfishy: And even then - it's a waste of a poor dead chicken

LaZorra: perhaps it just explodes bits of chicken in your mouth, removing the need for chewing.

Quieted Forever

* Goosey whispers loudly to Maryam, "Randy likes a GIRL!"

Goosey: O:-)

Randy: What?

Randy: I couldn't quite make that out...

[RinkChat] User Goosey has been quieted by Goosey.

* Maryam coughs.

ThePhan: Hehehe

.

.

.

[RinkChat] User Goosey has been unquieted by Goosey.

Goosey: AHAHAHA I'm an idiot.

Goosey: I totally forgot I'd quieted myself there.

Goosey: *dies*

ThePhan: LOL

ThePhan: "WHY is nothing I say showing up?!?!"

Goosey: WHY DIDN'T MY WORDS SHOW UP??

Goosey: REFRESHING DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!!

Goosey: IT IS BORK . . . oh.

LaZorra's Favorite Memo

LaZorra: Aww, the funniest memo I've ever gotten is expiring.

LaZorra: "[Sentynel->LaZorra] When you open help(), it says "How the fork Hideaki Akaiwa got a hold of a wetsuit and a set of SCUBA gear is one of the great mysteries of the world.""

LaZorra: "[Sentynel->LaZorra] ARGH NO IT DOESN'TI CAN'T COPY AND PASTE TO SAVE MY LIFE"

Worst Ways To Eat Peas

goldfishy: "Do you chew peas?" -- I think that is the most ridiculous question I've heard in a while

Randy: wha? hehe

ThePhan: I am now picturing people swallowing peas whole, one by one, with a glass of water like they're pills.

goldfishy: That sounds like the worst way to eat peas, ever

Randy: Visualize, whirled peas.

ThePhan: I absolutely agree.

goldfishy: For some reason I just imagined someone sucking peas up a wide pea-sized straw...

goldfishy: I suspect you'd choke to death doing that

ThePhan: LOL

ThePhan: Second worst way to eat peas.

ThePhan: We should make a big list.

goldfishy: It would be like pea roulette

goldfishy: Russian roulette but with peas

ThePhan: "Top 10 Worst Ways to Eat Peas."

goldfishy: One of em's gonna kill ya!

goldfishy: You never knew peas were so evil did you?

goldfishy: I did

goldfishy: They hide under other food

goldfishy: Sneaky little blighters

ThePhan: #3: Lying down on the ground and having someone just pour a plate of them down your throat.

Randy: Have someone with bad aim throw them at your mouth.

ThePhan: Put them in a bowl and eat them without using your hands like a dog.

ThePhan: Stack a bunch on your head and wait for them to roll off and hope some of them come near your mouth.

ThePhan: In a bowl with milk.

Randy: ewww

goldfishy: Your pea imagination scares me

Sentynel-and-Cats Breakfast Casserole

(About a graph thing LaZ was working on)

LaZorra: Goosey/Sent: Yeah, I'm trying to figure out how to have the boxes unchecked by default.

Sentynel: LaZ: That would be sensible. And look less like graph spaghetti.

LaZorra: Er, I had that for breakfast. I guess that's a decent breakfast.

LaZorra: Sent: I was thinking yarn in a basket full of cats.

ThePhan: I misread that.

ThePhan: I thought LaZ said, "I was thinking of you in a basket full of cats."

LaZorra: LOL!

LaZorra: I always think of Sentynel in a basket full of cats.

ThePhan: Now I can't stop picturing Sent sitting, slightly befuddled, in a basket full of cats.

10Kan: Phan: I thought LaZ originally wanted to have a basketful of cats for breakfast.

Sentynel: s/befuddled/cuted out/

ThePhan: 10K: LOL

LaZorra: 10K: NOM

ThePhan: ALL TOGETHER

ThePhan: LAZORRA WANTS TO EAT A SENT-WRAPPED-IN-CATS-BASKET BREAKFAST CASSEROLE

Sentynel: Do I get a say in this?

Goosey: LOL

LaZorra: No. No you do not.

ThePhan: Nope.

Sentynel: Okay.

* ThePhan stuffs Sent in a basket of cats and mails him in a giant pan to LaZ's door.

Sentynel: Do I at least get a sympathy hug before being eaten?

LaZorra: TP: You are the best friend ever.

LaZorra: Sent: I make it a personal goal never to get emotionally attached to my food.

LaZorra: (this is become quite creepy)

LaZorra: *becoming

LaZorra: *has

LaZorra: *something

Goosey: I wish I had time to illustrate stuff like this.

ThePhan: Don't name the cats or the Rinkie, or you won't want to eat them.

Sentynel: LaZ: Are you saying you're not emotionally attached to me? =(

Sentynel: Phan: I'll use my time in transit to name every cat.

Sentynel: And then when she opens the package I'll rapidly recite all of them.

Leen: o.0

Leen: The things I come back to.

Sentynel: What's a little cannibalism between friends?

Fencing

LaZorra: I always did want to take up fencing...

Sentynel: LaZ: Dude. I am totally taking you fencing sometime.

LaZorra: Sent: DEAL

ThePhan: LOL I AM AN IDIOT

Goosey: LOL LOL LOL

LaZorra: TP: LOL LOL

Randy: LOL

Randy: THE SENT IS A LIE

Sentynel: my mind is going

Sentynel: I can feel it.

* goldfishy gives Sent a round of applause

ThePhan: Sent is being sneaky.

goldfishy: I'd stop talking now if I were you

ThePhan: "It's a lie. It's true. NOW YOU HAVE NO IDEA!"

ThePhan: Hehehe

ThePhan: HEDGEHOOOOOOOOOOOGS!

ThePhan: Come on at me, bro! Come on at me, bro! I'm a hedgehog, yo! Come on at me, bro!

ThePhan: That is not so much a lyric from Les Mis.

TalkingDog: It should have been.

* LaZorra cracks up.

ThePhan: I'm currently on Javert's suicide scene. Javert going crazy and standing in the road screaming about a hedgehog is a very awkward way for him to die.

LaZorra: Pierced by a thousand quills!

LaZorra: What a way to got.

LaZorra: *go

* LaZorra didn't even know what she meant there for a second.

LaZorra: "What a way...to...get...to get what?"

LaZorra: Yes!

ThePhan: LOL

LaZorra: Being pierced by a thousand quills is indeed quite a way to get nachos.

LaZorra: It's official. Django's broken my brain.

Sentynel: Wait, your brain's only just broken?

Sentynel: Wow.

Sentynel: So you're saying the whole time I've known you it's been WORKING PROPERLY?

LaZorra: I would glare in your direction, but with a borken brain all i can manage is S-o

Sentynel: That's actually scarier than the regular glare, which is just adorable.

LaZorra: S-o S-o S-o S-o S-o S-o S-o S-o S-o S-o

Sentynel: AIEE

LaZorra: THAT IS WHAT YOU GET FOR CALLING MY GLARE ADORABLE

Sentynel: Right as you posted that and I caught it out of the corner of my eye, I typoed three wrods running in the docs I'm writing.

Sentynel: Words.

Sentynel: I think you've invented a TYPO GLARE.

LaZorra: HA

LaZorra: WIN

Dyslexia

* Kysle eats a Cadbury creme egg for the first time.

LaZorra: Ksyel: WANT creme eggs

LaZorra: Being dyslexic sucks

LaZorra: Er, also being diabetic.

LaZorra: Not dyslexic. :-p

ThePhan: LOL

Goosey: LOL LOL

ThePhan: And all this time we made fun of her typos.

ThePhan: Really they were just coming out of her dyslexia.

Making an Impression

LaZorra: BUT NONE OF MY JEANS FIT ANY MORE

Leen: LOL

LaZorra: I AM GOING TO HAVE TO GO TO THE WASHINGTON POST NAKED

Leen: *gasp*

LaZorra: Or, you know, buy new jeans.

Sentynel: That's one way of making an impression on your coworkers.

Goosey: LOL

LaZorra: Hey, they won't soon forget me.

LaZorra: "Yeah, let's get the naked chick to do that."

Sentynel: I don't think there's much risk of them forgetting *you* anyway. =p

Goosey: Sent speaks truth.

LaZorra: Sent: Er, thanks...I think...

LaZorra: Hey, the duck hat still fits. I can wear that.

Sentynel: It's a compliment. You make an impression.

Sentynel: Especially if wearing only a duck hat.

Goosey: nearly spits water all over her desk.

ON HO

(The beginning of this story is missing from my transcript - I started off with something like, "So I came back from class and was going to take a nap...")

LaZorra: TP: I would say, "YAY NAP," but it sounds like you're headed for an "ON HO" instead.

ThePhan: About an hour into my nap, Roomie comes back and starts a movie that was apparently called, "Deceptive Five-Minute Silences Lulling Phan Into a False Sense of Security, and Then Loud Explosions and Screaming That Wake Her up Again."

ThePhan: LZ: ON HO

Goosey: LOL LOL OH NO

LaZorra: TP: AUGH

ThePhan: Every time the loud explosions happened, I would squirm around and whimper because in my mind that was me saying, "TURN IT OFF" without fully waking up.

Sentynel: LaZ: Phan's headed for a what?

ThePhan: But after about an hour of this and getting no sleep, I sat up and logged into chat.

ThePhan: Sent: I don't think she's realized what she typed yet.

Sentynel: Phan: No, me neither.

Goosey: I DID NOT SEE THAT EITHER LOL

LaZorra: WHAT

Goosey: "LaZorra: TP: I would say, "YAY NAP," but it sounds like you're headed for an "ON HO" instead. (18:42:24) "

ThePhan: ON HO

ThePhan: ONWARD HO

* Sentynel is sat here holding a penny up in the air, waiting for LaZ to notice...

Goosey: Laz: Do you see it yet?

LaZorra: Goosey: I see Sentynel holding a penny.

Leen: PENNAH

LaZorra: Is he going to cut it in half?

Goosey: Lemme repost for you again

Goosey: "LaZorra: TP: I would say, "YAY NAP," but it sounds like you're headed for an "ON HO" instead. (18:42:24) "

LaZorra: OH LOL

Goosey: TP even made fun of it already.

* Sentynel drops penny

* ThePhan has also repeated this typo two times. And then made fun of it.

LaZorra: I AM SORRY I WAS FOCUSED ON PHAN'S DESPERATION AND WAS BEING A GOOD FRIEND

Goosey: LOL LOL LOL

Leen: hehe

* Goosey HUGS LAZORRA!

ThePhan: LOL

ThePhan: LZ: I WAS DISTRACTED BY THE FACT YOU THOUGHT THIS STORY WAS HEADING TOWARD ME BEING ON A HO

Goosey: TP: See? She made a hilarious typo to make you feel better!

Leen: I'm lol'ing, Sam is all "what is going on?"

Grishny: Maybe so, but a GREAT friend would have noticed and joined in with the typo hijinks sooner.

Goosey: LOL Sam should come in here where the party obviously is.

LaZorra: YOU ARE DEFINITELY NOT ON A HO

Being a Vegetarian

Ticia: So, Rose has decided to be a vegetarian. "Except I think I'll still eat bacon."

Ticia: Which just cracks me up.

Maryam: LOL

Maryam: When I was a kid I was a "part-time vegetarian". This basically meant I was a vegetarian except when I was eating.

Queen of Zorrastan

LaZorra: If I had a royal wedding, I'd think it would be great fun to just elope.

LaZorra: "OH HA JUST KIDDING WE ARE ALREADY MARRIED"

LaZorra: Piss the queen off royally, I bet.

Goosey: LOL LOL LOL

LaZorra: Actually, if I were part of a monarchy, I'd spend most of my time pissing the queen off royally.

Goosey: LOL I bet you would.

Sentynel: LaZ: I can't really see you becoming part of a monarchy, somehow. =p

LaZorra: Sent: I am saddened by your perception of my class.

LaZorra: *picks teeth with picketknife*

LaZorra: *pocketknife

Goosey: A what kind of knife?

Goosey: LOL

LaZorra: *picks teeth with a pickpocket*

Sentynel: A picketknife is a knife that doesn't let you past.

wintermute: Sent: All she has to do is conquer a country, and declare herself queen of Zorrastan.

Goosey: I would totally move there.

LaZorra: LOL

Sentynel: Dude, totally. LaZorra for quasi-benevolent dictator for life!

PoopyDiaperBot

Leen: "As far as baby shower games... a really fun one at mine was the melted candy bar game. You get the newborn diapers and melt different kind of candy bars in the microwave then put them in the diapers. At the shower, each person has to guess what kind of candy bar it was. The person who gets the most "right" wins a small prize. "

Leen: WHAT?!

Leen: That is GROSS!

Goosey: LOL LOL LOL

Leen: I'd win, though.

Goosey: THAT IS AWESOME

Goosey: I'm so doing that one next time I host a shower.

Leen: Oh dear.

Goosey: Leen: We could do that one for the RinkShower! 'Cause I can just take pics of the melted candy diapers!

Leen: Uh...

Goosey: Okay okay -- nothing without your approval of course. But it would be fun.

Sam: Uh.

Sam: That sounds like anti-fun to me.

Sam: I mean, it's CHOCOLATE POOP in a DIAPER.

Sam: It's not just CHOCOLATE POOP in a DIAPER, it's a GAME about what KIND OF CHOCOLATE POOP IS IN THE DIAPER.

Sam: I will totally make that into a bot game if someone gets me pictures, by the way.

* Leen cracks up.

Goosey: Sam: LOL OKAY

Sam: I DIDN'T MEAN IT.

Sam: PLEASE NO.

Goosey: LOL LOL LOL LOL

LaZorra: WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE

Goosey: Someday you will forget about this, and then SUDDENLY in your inbox, 87 pictures of POOPY DIAPERS

Leen: ROFL

TalkingDog: You all win forever.

Nyperold: ChocolatePoopBot asks: What kind of poop is this? 1. Milky Way 2. Snickers 3. 3 Musketeers 4. Whatchamacallit 5. 100 Grand

Goosey: LOL LOL YES

wintermute: No no no. It should be "what plantation did this chocolate come from?"

Goosey: mute: That's hard to tell from pictures anyway. Let alone when it looks like poop in a diaper.

LaZorra: TOPICBOT

Goosey: Laz: WHICH LINE??

Leen: *wipes tears*

LaZorra: ALL OF THEM

Some Shows

* Goosey is going to see Noises Off!, The Music Man, and one of the King Henrys at the Utah Shakespeare Festival!

ThePhan: Goosey: THOSE ARE SOME SHOWS

ThePhan: Er.

ThePhan: LOL LOL

Randy: LOL

ThePhan: My statement, while true, was uninformative.

Randy: SOME PIG

* ThePhan meant, "THOSE ARE SOME GOOD SHOWS."

Untested Pun Fail

Sentynel: Fifteen minutes after starting coding for the day, I've got it actually running again after cleaning up the last addition that didn't actually work, at all.

Sentynel: Untested commit fail.

ThePhan: I bought a used external keyboard the other day. I'd typed a few sentences when I bought it, to make sure it worked. But after I bought it and brought it back to my dorm and tried to actually write something important on it, I realized the comma button didn't actually work, at all.

ThePhan: Untested comma fail.

* ThePhan giggles and dances away.

ThePhan: (None of that story is true.)

Sentynel: I see what you did there.

Goosey: LOL

ThePhan: I tried to make up an "untested comet" story but all I could come up with was this ridiculous story about launching a manmade comet into space and it didn't make sense in the least.

ThePhan: So I had to change it.

Goosey: LOL

ThePhan: (Although I briefly debated leaving it as "comet" but making it about Comet the reindeer, who Santa hired without trying him out first and he turned out to be a terrible flier.)

ThePhan: As you can see, I worked way harder on it than I should have.

Goosey: My sink was really dirty, so I went to the store and bought some cleaner. I scrubbed my whole sink with it, but after I rinsed, I saw the pretty surface was alllll scratched up.

Goosey: Untested Comet fail.

* Goosey wins!

Dave Cabbages and Ice Ice Bilbo (Part 2)

* Goosey reads the RinkQuotes blog to catch up on last night's craziness.
LaZorra: I'm not sure what was in the water last night.
Goosey: Ice ice bilbo *dies*
LaZorra: Bilbo was DEFINITELY not in my water last night.
ThePhan: Last night was awesome.
Goosey: LOL LOL
ThePhan: LOL
ThePhan: I'm picturing like a giant glass of water, and LZ is examining its contents.
ThePhan: "Ice... ice... BILBO?!"
Goosey: LOL LOL LOL
LaZorra: LOL LOL *dies*
LaZorra: "How did YOU get in there?"
Goosey: Okay okay okay. Next RinkUnion should have a contest where everybody makes statues of Dave out of cabbage
LaZorra: LOL LOL
* LaZorra has called TopicBot on so many Dave cabbage lines now, but she does it again for that one anyway.
Goosey: LOL
Goosey: Next time Dave comes in, we should all respond to "Nubs" with shouts of CABBAGE!
Goosey: And watch him go "...WHUT?"
ThePhan: But if we do the cabbage thing at the RU, there will be screaming boys surrounding us all weekend long. Because no male can resist cabbage Dave.
LaZorra: wait
LaZorra: Men fall in love with cabbage Dave?
LaZorra: I DO NOT REMEMBER THIS PART
ThePhan: No, they fall in love with the makers of cabbage Dave.
ThePhan: LOL
LaZorra: "Cabbage Dave, your heart is so...crispy and romaine-like."

Sprouts

(We were in the middle of kind of an awkward conversation, so LZ decided to change the subject.)

LaZorra: ...Windows doesn't know what to open an SVG with.

LaZorra: Yet when I click, "Open with Application," it lists Adobe Illustrator as the "recommended option."

LaZorra: WHY DIDN'T YOU JUST USE BLOODY ILLUSTRATOR YOU GIT

[LaZorra->ThePhan] I figure a change of topic is in order, and I know nothing about sprouts, so...

[LaZorra->ThePhan] Er, *sports. I know lots about sprots.

[LaZorra->ThePhan] SPROUTS

[ThePhan->LaZorra] LOL LOL

[ThePhan->LaZorra] LET'S TALK ABOUT SPROUTS

ThePhan: So, sprouts are cool.

[LaZorra->ThePhan] LOL LOL LOL you win forever.

Snacktime Dance Break

Sentynel: SNACK TIME

LaZorra: LOL

LaZorra: STOP!

LaZorra: SNACKTIME!

* TalkingDog dances.

ThePhan: U can't eat this!

Sentynel: I love you all.

Capital One Greeting Cards

LaZorra: Capital One just sent me a greeting card application. One of the designs they offer is "Constitution." I can't say I've ever seen that before — or that I've ever seen a credit card say so much about a period in history.

LaZorra: I can't imagine there was much demand for Constitution-themed credit cards pre-Tea Party.

ThePhan: Greeting card?

LaZorra: Er.

LaZorra: Yes.

Sentynel: Credit greeting cards - for the billionaires who can't fit their gift in the envelope in cash.

LaZorra: Capital One is now in control of all greeting cards.

LaZorra: If you ever want to wish someone a happy birthday again, you'd better take out an application.

Sentynel: Greeting card applications get mail-shot at you all the time, except when it's somebody's birthday or it's Christmas.

Sentynel: When you try and fill out an application when you actually need one, it gets rejected.

Sentynel: Furthermore, if you do get one, the terms and conditions charge you a yearly fee, despite you not using the card more than once.

Sentynel: However, you do get free air miles every time you send the card.

LaZorra: If you save enough miles, you can travel to wish the recipient a happy birthday in person.

LaZorra: (terms and restrictions apply)

LaZorra: (not valid outside of Memphis)

Roommage

LaZorra: Not much longer to go with this roommage, right?

ThePhan: RIGHT

ThePhan: Four weeks.

LaZorra: *roommate

LaZorra: I do not want to know what sharing a room with a mage would be like.

ThePhan: LOL

LaZorra: Spellbooks and potions all over the room, and he'd always be in the corner meditating.

.

.

.

ThePhan: Also, rooming with a dude who I barely know but casts spells is sitcom material.

LaZorra: LOL LOL

LaZorra: Yes.

ThePhan: LOL

LaZorra: There's your NaNo idea.

ThePhan: The superpower of caffeine is awesome.

ThePhan: LOL

ThePhan: I'm pretty sure HU would be against this for multiple reasons.

LaZorra: LOL

ThePhan: Er. The mage rooming. Not having caffeine superpowers.

LaZorra: Maybe he transforms himself into looking like a girl when he goes out because all the guy's dorms were full.

LaZorra: Er, *guys'. Unless one guy owns all the dorms and is HOGGING THEM.

ThePhan: LOL

ThePhan: There are only two guys on campus.

LaZorra: LOL

ThePhan: One has taken all the dorms, and the other... is a mage who apparently can't do ANYTHING about this except make himself look like a girl.

LaZorra: I'm pretty sure I acted this out with Barbies when I was a kid.

ThePhan: LOL LOL LOL

* ThePhan is desperate to find some Barbies now, act this out, film it, and put it on YouTube.

ThePhan: It will be a viral hit.

LaZorra: LOL LOL

LaZorra: IT totally would be.

ThePhan Impression

(I came back from Guys and Dolls to sign onto RinkChat in my room... and I was still logged in somehow.)

ThePhan: ...How am I still in here?

ThePhan: Am I still signed in a computer in the design lab?

ThePhan: LOL

ThePhan: Maybe crazy people will wander in and say crazy things in my name.

* LaZorra looks at Phan suspiciously.

LaZorra: How do we know you're REALLY ThePhan?

ThePhan: Um.

ThePhan: Uh.

LaZorra: AHA

LaZorra: IMPOSTOR

ThePhan: I AM NOT

ThePhan: THAT'S CRAP

ThePhan: JIGGLE JIGGLE

ThePhan: ...If that doesn't convince you, I don't know what will.

LaZorra: LOL LOL LOL

* LaZorra HUGS Phan!

LaZorra: That is the best impersonation of Phan I have ever seen.
