CHANGES IN MY LIFE

ThePhan: FB friend posts: "IM THINKING IT'S TIME TO MAKE A FEW CHANGES IN MY LIFE !!!!!!"
ThePhan: Snarky response I am having difficulty resisting: "Like learning how to turn caps lock off!"
Sentynel: Phan: DO IT
Leen: TP: Do ittttt
TalkingDog: How about "Are you going to learn about lowercase letters?"
Leen: We are such a great influence.
Maryam: Say something snarky about the number of exclamation points, as well.
Maryam: You could quote Pratchett: http://wiki.lspace.org/mediawiki/index.php/Multiple_exclamation_marks
* ThePhan blinks.
ThePhan: Someone responded to his FB status with, "I still say anyone who voted for that jack ass has NO RIGHT to say anything about all this crap he is doing. They wanted him."
Maryam: Er...
ThePhan: I didn't think the changes he was planning on for his life were *political* ones...
Leen: Mmmkay.
ThePhan: But who knows?

Turtle Hats

* ThePhan pokes her head into the Internet again. Slowly, so it doesn't get skittish.
Randy: Like a turtle?
ThePhan: Yup.
TalkingDog: Turtle!
.
.
.
Sentynel: I read Phan's message up there as her poking her head into a turtle.
Sentynel: I was going to say I understood it might be a bit skittish about this.
Sentynel: HELLO IN THERE
ThePhan: Hehe
ThePhan: One of the many, many turtles that fill up the entire ocean.
ThePhan: Multiple times.
ThePhan: According to that chapel speaker I dreamed about.
Sentynel: Phan: YES. THOSE TURTLES.
Sentynel: Actually I think I estimated them as fairly small turtles, so your head probably wouldn't fit.
Sentynel: So maybe not those turtles.
ThePhan: Sent: If I cruelly remove the actual turtle part and crack open the shell more and stick my head in there and wear it like a hat?
Sentynel: Congratulations, you've found an item of clothing more likely to get you lynched by animal rights activists than fur.
ThePhan: LOL LOL
ThePhan: TURTLE HATS
ThePhan: So fashionable.
ThePhan: HEY, I hear noise upstairs. Maybe ze boyfriend is finally home.
ThePhan: Maybe he bought me a turtle to make into a hat.
Randy: LOL
Randy: Ask him. In those exact words.
LaZorra: Wow, I come back to the buffer and y'all are talking about murdering animals in the worst ways.
ThePhan: Well, that'll be confusing, talking about him in the third person.
LaZorra: No wonder I love you guys.
ThePhan: LZ: But... to make hats!
LaZorra: A WORTHY CAUSE
ThePhan: I hear... weird noises upstairs. It sounds like he might be removing the turtle and cracking open the shell before he presents the hat to me.
Randy: TP: If he really is, then marry him.
Randy: Like today.
ThePhan: LOL
ThePhan: And everybody gets to make their own turtle hat at the arts and crafts table at our wedding!
LaZorra: LOL LOL
Randy: YES
LaZorra: I kind of love the idea that there's going to be an arts and crafts table at your wedding.
Randy: That too
ThePhan: LOL
LaZorra: I'm picturing the wedding party sitting around with glue guns.
ThePhan: Yeah, I don't really know what spawned that idea.
ThePhan: *I* sure don't like arts and crafts.
Leen: Awww.
Randy: hahaha
Sentynel: You know, if only Aeschylus had got in on this fashion for turtle hats, he wouldn't have been killed when an eagle dropped one on him.
ThePhan: But you gotta give people something to do at weddings.
LaZorra: Maybe it will be a make-your-own-damn-wedding-favor table.
Sentynel: Either because it protected him, or more likely because all the turtles had been turned into hats already.
ThePhan: LZ: That is EXACTLY what it willb e.
ThePhan: *will be
LaZorra: LOL
ThePhan: Glitter, sequins, paint, glue, and a tank full of turtles.
Leen: Sounds like FUN!
Sentynel: Remind me to show up a day early for your wedding so I can launch a guerilla raid to free the turtles before the whole wedding gets arrested for animal cruelty.
ThePhan: Jacob is back home but, alas, no turtle hat. But I told him all about them and he agreed he should have brought me one.

Blogging From My Memory

Randy: Has a baby ever projectile vomited on you?
Leen: lol!
ThePhan: Not once.
ThePhan: Which is totally OK with me.
Leen: Really? Wow!
ThePhan: Actually, I'm surprised that hasn't happened to me, given how many little siblings I had. I've never been vomited on or peed on by a baby.
Leen: Indeed.
ThePhan: Unless I've blogged it from my memory.
Leen: That is shocking.
Leen: LOL
Leen: I'm not sure how you managed that.
Sentynel: I guess putting it on the internet removes it from your own mind.
LaZorra: Phan: You can blog FROM YOUR MIND?!
ThePhan: LOL LOL LOL
* ThePhan just came back to the window and noticed what she wrote.
Leen: hehehe
ThePhan: Yes. Once I blog things from memory, they have no longer happened.
Randy: LOL

The Third Mountain

LaZorra: Also in completely unrelated news I vote we start our Rinkie commune here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/summitvoice1/6942860020/lightbox/
Goosey: TOO MUCH SNOW
* TalkingDog steals all the snow.
Leen: Yeah, I'm sick of snow.
Leen: It is pretty, though.
ThePhan: I will teach theater on the third mountain.
LaZorra: It would be pretty awesome to address your mail to "The Phan, The Third Mountain, Frisco, CO."
ThePhan: YES IT WOULD
ThePhan: I'm pretty sure if I taught theater on a random mountain in Colorado, all guru-like, I *would* just call myself "The Phan" all the time.
ThePhan: Way more mysterious and sage-ish.

Gungle Jym

(About kids)

Leen: I'm of the mindset that they can either entertain themselves if they are old enough, or be in bed.

Leen: And let the adults visit, kthanks.

LaZorra: hehe, yeah.

Leen: Or go to Sam.

Leen: hehe

LaZorra: Sam, the Human Gungle Jym.

Sam: GUNGLE

Leen: He's been a great kid buffer.

Randy: GUNGLE

Sentynel: LOL, Gungle Jym.

Randy: That's where Jar Jar goes to work out.

LaZorra: Gungle, yes. Gungle Jym.

LaZorra: WHAT DID I DO

LaZorra: SOMEONE TELL ME

Sam: Jungle gym?

* Leen cracks up!

LaZorra: ...

LaZorra: Really?

Randy: Dude what?

ThePhan: LOL

LaZorra: Holy crap, my brain has fallen out.

* Randy HUGS LaZorra!

LaZorra: JUNGLE GYM

* LaZorra HUGS Randy!

* Sam HUGS LaZorra!

Leen: This is your brain, This is your brain on Sudafed.

Turkey Toes

LaZorra: blargggghhh. I forgot to buy more kleenex. >.<

LaZorra: This is one of those times that living alone sucks turkey toes.

Sam: ...what a mental image.

Leen: WE HAVE KLEENEX!

Sam: WE'LL MAIL YOU SOME.

Sentynel: Sam: I thought you meant the turkey toes.

Sam: That would be an awesome care package. Kleenex and turkey toes.

ThePhan: LOL

LaZorra: LOL

Leen: Is "... sucks turkey toes." and expression from your neck of the woods?

* ThePhan will now mail turkey toes to everyone she knows. No return address. Just turkey toes in an envelope.

Leen: Because that cracks me up, and I've never heard it before.

LaZorra: plz for not to mail me teh teos of teh turkeyz

LaZorra: Leen: I...honestly am not sure where I picked it up.

LaZorra: I don't think I've ever heard anyone else say it, now that I think about it. O.o

Leen: Also, TP works in a pinch.

Leen: I mean toilet paper, not Phan.

Leen: Then again we use the good TP.

LaZorra: OH YEAH. I did stock up on TP. Which is probably why she has to wake up so early to commute to school.

* Sentynel cracks up at the image of LaZ, with no options left, blowing her nose on Phan.

* Sam blows his nose on TP.

LaZorra: LOL SORRY PHAN

Sam: BEAT

Leen: LOL

Leen: That reminds me of the clorox commercial.

ThePhan: I come back to the window for this?

Sam: LOL

LaZorra: WE LOVE YOU REALLY

LaZorra: You're just so puffy soft for tender noses!

Sam: TP: It's a thank-you gift for the turkey toes.

ThePhan: And "the good TP" is toilet paper?

* ThePhan is "the bad TP." :-(

ThePhan: Hehe

Sam: Oh man. I have to TopicBot "LaZorra: You're just so puffy soft for tender noses!" because that's awesome out of context. WHO IS PUFFY SOFT AND WHYYYYY?

Fire Fightering

Dave: Oh man.

Dave: Man.

Dave: I'm gonig through a bunch of files from an ancient computer. STuff I saved for various reasons.

Dave: I found a term paper someone wrote on my computer my first year of college. This would be 1992. Yes, I'm old.

Dave: This is not my paper, nor does it belong to anybody I know. In fact, as I recall, some random kid came up to me and asked if he could use my computer to type his paper.

Dave: The paper appears to be about fire fighters.

Dave: Except it is titled "Fire Fightering"

Goosey: LOL

Dave: Yes. This was a freshman in college who wrote this.

Goosey: I weep.

Dave: And, very likely, turned in.

goldfishy: Does he sum up with "And in conclusion, I would like to be a fire fighterer when I grow up."?

Goosey: hehehehe

Dave: I don't dare read it.

Dave: Hang on. I'll skim it.

Dave: Oh.

Dave: Dear.

Dave: This is really odd.

Dave: Here's the first paragraph. "Fire fighters have the responsibility of protecting life and property from the hazards of fire. This protection is offered by fighting fires to prevent property damage, by saving lives through rescue from fire, through safety inspections, and safety education to prevent fires. Fire fighters assist in other types of emergencies and disasters in community life. This paper is about a full time career in fire fightering."

Dave: (any types were probably introduced by me, I just quickly transcribed it.)

Dave: (You know, EXCEPT FOR FIRE FIGHTERING)

Goosey: LOL!!

Leen: LOL

Dave: Fire fighterers divide the labor. For instance, a fire fighterer knows before he gets to the fire whether or not his duty is to raise ladders or connect HOES to water hydrants.

Goosey: LOL WHAT

Dave: That's what it says. Hoes.

Sentynel: That's harsh.

ThePhan: LOL

ThePhan: That would probably be important to know before you got to the fire.

ThePhan: Don't want to get there and run around connecting hoes to water hydrants only to find out you weren't supposed to.

goldfishy: Is this some sort of obscure American law? Hoes shall be connected to water hydrants - that'll show 'em

goldfishy: In which case I would have expected it to be a police duty - not a fire fightererer's duty

Dave: Oddly, he spelled hose right later on. When he says some fire fighterers are known by their job duties. Such as HOSE HANDLERS.

iwpg: If a fire hydrant is for supplying water to extinguish a fire, does that mean a water hydrant is for supplying fire to extinguish water?

Dave: HAHAHAHAHA

Dave: This is how the paper ends: "It is very wise for the fire fighter to work near the station, because he will never know when he might be called on duty. This interested me, because I have a bad habit of playing with fire."

Goosey: LOL

I'm Going to Beat You

ThePhan: Ha, so tonight Jacob and I went to Pizza Hut, and he was eating a lot faster than I was, so at one point he looked at what was left on my plate and what was left on his, and said, "I'm going to beat you."

ThePhan: I didn't know what he was talking about, though, because I didn't realize we were competing, so I said, "Er... how so?"

ThePhan: And his eyes got all wide and he was like, "Not like... not like hitting you! No! I just meant... I'll be done with my pizza first!"

Leen: LOL

Maryam: LOL

LaZorra: LOL LOL LOL

Randy: LOL LOL!

LaZorra: That is so much funnier now that I can picture him saying that.

ThePhan: LZ: LOL

LaZorra: "I AM GOING TO SMACK YOU AND TAKE YOUR PIZZA"

Thleatler

Randy: My dad flipped a volkswagen beetle once.

LaZorra: I do not even know how that is possible.

Sentynel: Randy: You just need, like, ten people. Five on each side, lift and roll over. They're not exactly heavy.

Randy: Sent: Whilst driving it, I mean.

Sentynel: Randy: Oh!

Sentynel: I'd guess he slid and hit the kerb.

LaZorra: Hit the ...what?

Sentynel: Uh.

Sentynel: I don't know the American word.

Sentynel: The raised bit dividing the, uh, road from the sidewalk?

Randy: Curb?

LaZorra: Is that really how you spell it?

ThePhan: Wikipedia says "kerb" is an alternative spelling of "curb."

ThePhan: THAT IS CRAZY

LaZorra: O.o

Sentynel: Kerb is the British spelling, yeah.

Randy: What?

ThePhan: It looks like text speak spelling.

LaZorra: It does!

Sentynel: And it didn't look weird to me until you lot started whining about it.

LaZorra: You didn't look weird to us until we met you.

LaZorra: BURN!

Sentynel: I'm not sure what you mean by that, but I'm going to take it as a compliment.

ThePhan: LOL

* ThePhan reads the "American and British English spelling differences" wiki entry to avoid anymore crazy spelling surprises.

Randy: hehe

ThePhan: But mostly it consists of things that make me go, "What? Americans spell it like that sometimes? That's just silly."

Randy: I do spell "theatre" that way just cause I can.

ThePhan: I go back and forth on that one.

Leen: I tend to use theatre for where plays are, and theater for where I see movies.

Leen: I don't know why.

Randy: Right, I sometimes use it that way.

ThePhan: Because if I spell it "theatre" I sometimes look a little snobby, but if I use "theater" then snobs get mad at me. So I go back and forth.

ThePhan: Leen: Yeah, I never use "theatre" for movie theaters.

Leen: lol

TalkingDog: You should make up your own. Like... "theatr". Or something.

Randy: thtr

Randy: text speak it.

ThePhan: Randy: Yeah, because THAT wouldn't make snobs mad at me. :-P

Nyperold: I sometimes go "Is it one 'l' or two?" because it seems like for some words, one way is the British spelling, and the other is the American.

ThePhan: Nyp: There are two 'l's in "theater."

LaZorra: They are not silent, but they are invisible.

* LaZorra is now trying to pronounce "thleatler" and cracking up.

LaZorra: I sound like Daffy Duck.

Randy: hehe!

ThePhan: LOL

ThePhan: A common vocal warm-up used in theater is actually to say "theater" several times in its correct pronunciation, which sounds something like "ltlhlelaltlelrl".

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

LaZorra: YES PLEASE

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?

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

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

EEL HUG

* LaZorra HUGS Sam!
* Sam HUGS LaZorra!
* Leen gave Sam a REAL hug!
Sam: YES.
Leen: I almost typed EAL but caught it in time.
Sam: EEL HUG!
Randy: EAL HUGS
Leen: That wouldn't be as fun.
LaZorra: Is it an ELETRIC EEL AND KILLING WEASEL hug?
ThePhan: That doesn't sound like a nice thing to do.
LaZorra: Yeah, I was just thinking that that probably wouldn't do much to make Sam's day better.
ThePhan: "I meant to type 'hug,' but instead I accidentally typed 'ATTACKED WITH AN ELETRIC EEL AND KILLING WEASEL'."
* Randy gives LaZorra an Eel hug!
* LaZorra gives Randy an Albacore Tuna hug!
Leen: I'm hungry.
Leen: But not for eel.
Randy: UNAGI!
LaZorra: LOL, I was just typing, "For eel sushi?"

Pants! (etc.)

Leen: That reminds me of the pants conversation I had with... I think wm years back.
Leen: I'm pretty sure it was someone in the UK I had the conversation with, I was talking about pants and they were laughing at me.
goldfishy: Because they were thinking about knickers instead of trousers?
Leen: Yes!
goldfishy: I'm slowly getting used to hearing pants and not thinking of underwear around americans
* LaZorra nearly just did /topic AMERICAN UNDERWEAR
Leen: DOIT
Randy: LOL LOL
Kalimeris:
goldfishy: What do you guys call knickers?
Leen: Underwear, panties (for girls), tighty whities, boxers... I guess it varies, but mostly undies or underwear.
LaZorra: Underwear.
LaZorra: Leen: I am underprivileged, hehe.
Leen: It's a shame Sam is missing this conversation.
Leen: Enter, Sam!
Randy: hehehe
goldfishy: I always forget about panties
goldfishy: I mean the word!
LaZorra: [RinkChat] Memo Posted: [->Sam] YOU ARE MISSING A CONVERSATION ABOUT UNDERWEAR
ThePhan: LOL
TalkingDog: LOL
Randy: LOL LOL
* LaZorra TOPICBOTS goldie's panty remark.
Leen: That is EXACTLY what I said to Sam when he walked in, LZ.
Sam has entered.
Nyperold: We don't have anything that we call knickers, as far as I can tell.
LaZorra: LOL LOL
Sam: I wanna talk about underwear, too!!!
Leen: He asked "with who?"
Nyperold: Then again, I haven't looked it up.
Leen: and I started listing people, starting with LaZorra.
Leen: and he said "I KNEW IT!"
Sam: I did know it.
Sam: I thought to myself, "She's going to say 'LaZorra' first."
Leen: Poor LZ.
* LaZorra thinks this would be the perfect time to say, "I LOVE YOU SAM *throws panties*"
* LaZorra does not say this.
Sam: LOL
Sam: Awww, you don't love me. :-(
ThePhan: LaZorra is the underwear convo queen.
LaZorra: Leen: LOL, you ratted me out.
Randy: You all rule!
Nyperold: Okay, apparently the word is gaining ground over here.
LaZorra: Sam: Hey, now, if we were having a conversation about bras, I could see why you might suspect me. But underwear? That's far more generic.
LaZorra: Practically ANY of the Rinkies could have started a conversation about underwear.
LaZorra: SAM I LOVE YOU
goldfishy: Knickers? Good - it's a good work - better than panties :-p
Kalimeris: Hehehe
LaZorra: *doesn't throw panties*
Sam: But I guessed you, and I WAS RIGHT.
Kalimeris: Yeah, I'm not a fan of the word "panties"
goldfishy: *word
Kalimeris: It's so... so...
ThePhan: LZ: I probably wouldn't have.
Kalimeris: It's PANTIES
Randy: hehehe
Leen: I told him you didn't start the conversation, though.
LaZorra: THONGS AND BOXERS AND G-STRINGS OH MY
ThePhan: Kali: I have a friend who doesn't like the word, so when she's required to say it, she pronounces it "pahnties," because apparently that makes her feel like she's not saying it.
Sam: I was just about to say, "Love without panties is the best kind of love," but that wasn't going to come out right.
LaZorra: SAM !!!!
Randy: LOL LOL
* LaZorra dies laughing.
ThePhan: Sam: LOL LOL LOL
Sam: I was trying to think of a clever way of appreciating that panties weren't being thrown at me, but I think the best way is, ultimately, "I'm glad panties aren't being thrown at me."
* goldfishy thinks of something she shouldn't say out loud and glows red
Kalimeris: I'm also glad that panties aren't being thrown around
ThePhan: goldfishy: Was it "Love without panties is the best kind of love"?
Randy: I'm going to write a poem entitled that
goldfishy: No it was a response to that
LaZorra: Sam: I was typing out, "SAM YOU ARE SUCKING MY CUTENESS" and that just didn't seem right in context, either.
ThePhan: hallo i am a teenager and i am talking about teh love without panties
LaZorra: LOL LOL LOL
LaZorra: ALL teenagers talk about love without panties. :-p
Sam: I love you all.
Randy: Sheesh, we're quiet all day long...someone mentions panties and we all go nuts
Kalimeris: We've been holding it up inside
goldfishy: Yeah I guess it isn't just my mind in the gutter
Randy: not that its bad
ThePhan: I know I sit in RinkChat all day thinking, "I really hope someone mentions panties soon."
LaZorra: Underwear and food make Chat go round.
LaZorra: LOL
Leen: Pretty much..
Randy: LOL LOL
SirDude: Hopefully not at the same time
LaZorra: I dunno. Surely you've heard of edible panties.
Sam: I needed a conversation like this. Not a very fun day at work, and I miss fun in chat.
Nyperold: Oh, you'd be surprised.
* LaZorra HUGS Sam!
SirDude: I'm actually trying to eat dinner here
Sam: TP: I always suspected.

Scraping

* Leen heard Sam scraping and scraping at the windshield this morning, and felt bad for him.
LaZorra: It's his own damn fault for refusing to move to the West Coast.
Leen: hahah
iwpg: Leen: I initially thought you meant he was trying to get in, and wondered if you meant to say one of the cats.
Leen: hahahaha
Leen: *dies*
LaZorra: LOL LOL LOL
Leen: I got a visual image of that, and it so cracked me up.
* LaZorra loses it in the computer lab.

Ghost of Sam: I think it's time for another edition of Google Searches People Used To Find RinkWorks.
Randy: Yay!
ThePhan: Whoo!
wintermute: WOOHOO!
Ghost of Sam: every letter of the alphabet // www.listofoppositewords.com // can you get a computer virus just by playing games // why is my computer trying to download web pages // Why do you need an icy cucumbe // where's a hyphon on a keyboard // usually bring up the conversation though in 95% of the cases when playing on some servers I only try to keep the issue to myself even if it sux, guess that's the difference. __________________ // sexy names for design sites // tarzan woman film // FUNNY THING FOR SOMEONE WITH BROKEN HANDS // does caffeine keep you up at night? // too much pepper how to fix
Ghost_of_Leen: icy cucumbe...
Ghost_of_Leen: LOL
LaZorra: EVERY LETTER OFTHE ALPHABET
ThePhan: LOL
LaZorra: EVERY. SINGLE. ONE.
ThePhan: "RinkWorks" = sexy name for design site?
LaZorra: Also, I like how the broken hands one sounds like it was a search conducted by a hit man with a sense of humor.
wintermute: Someone googled to find out what letters are in the alphabet?
wintermute: TOO MUCH PEPPER! HOW TO FIX?
[RinkChat] The chat room's topic has been changed to 'Too much pepper! How to fix?' by wintermute.
10Kan: Funny thing for someone with broken hands, according to How to Be Funny: A keyboard.
ThePhan: They couldn't have just looked at their keyboard, apparently.
ThePhan: Somebody set up us the pepper!
Ghost of Sam: can crows kill hawks // barbarian queen rack // down a wall + cutting out worms inside body + movie // My boyfriend is a coward he only has guts to talk to me whenever he is drunk // HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO BLEED TO DEATH
wintermute: Phan: Maybe they'd lost a key, and they needed to figure out which one it was...
ThePhan: LOL LOL
wintermute: I misread that as "Can cows kill hawks", and my first response was "yes, if they sit on them".
ThePhan: "I NEED TO KNOW RIGHT NOW, HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE?!"
LaZorra: wm: LOL
* LaZorra is dying laughing.
Revan: I am amazed at the intelligence level of some people.
LaZorra: LESS TIME THAN YOU WILL SPEND IN THE EMERGENCY ROOM
LaZorra: I am amused at the intelligence level of some people.
Revan: Sam: Thank God you have DTABSU, some of those dudes might actually be using it.
Ghost of Sam: The great thing about the 'My boyfriend is a coward' one is that somebody got to The Mystery of Paradise Island with it. Lots of times, if you know the page they got to with the search, it sort of makes sense after all. This time...no.
wintermute: LONG ENOUGH TO GOOGLE!
LaZorra: Sam: LOL
Ghost of Sam: HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO DIE FROM LAUGHING
