LaZorra and the Bear

(Sentynel and I have been jokingly fighting on Last.fm over who listens to the most songs. He had just spent a week on vacation hiking with LaZorra.)

Sentynel: Also, I was within a couple of hundred tracks of your total play count, then I was away for over a week and you gained a thousand on me again.

Sentynel: I'LL GET YOU YET

ThePhan: BWAHA

Sentynel: ALL LAZORRA'S FAULT

* Sentynel shakes fist

ThePhan: LaZorra is on MY side with this music thing.

ThePhan: You'll note she never invites me hiking so YOU can catch up.

Sentynel: It's true.

ThePhan: BUT!

ThePhan: She may get to come celebrate my birthday with me. :-)

* ThePhan hopeshopeshopes

Sentynel: She never invites you hiking so she can attempt to murder you via bear exposure and/or exhaustion, either.

Sentynel: That would be pretty awesome.

ThePhan: If she tries to murder me with a bear on my birthday, I will be annoyed.

Sentynel: Well, don't worry, I survived, so she can't be too good at it.

ThePhan: I hope she doesn't bring a bear to my musical theater revue, either.

ThePhan: I don't think they'll seat it in the studio theater.

Sentynel: Phan: Bears *are* well-known aficionados of musical theatre.

Homebase

(My sister Bethany was going to join up with NLDC, the drama company I worked with for a year, and had just made it to their headquarters in Tennessee that morning.)

ThePhan: So my sister Bethany just got to homebase - she's traveling with NLDC for a year - and they made her the financer.

ThePhan: That's like the second-in-command.

Randy: TP: That is AWESOME

ThePhan: Randy: It IS.

Ticia: ThePhan: LOL, I thought you were talking about your sisters... romantic life.

Ticia: *sister's

ThePhan: LOL LOL LOL

Randy: hahaha!

Ticia: I'm all "She got to homebase?" whut?

ThePhan: I'm still giggling.

ThePhan: I didn't even think of it being taken that way.

ThePhan: That's awesome.

Silly Names/It's All About Randy

Revan: Kyle: Yes. And I thoroughly enjoyed it, since it felt like a righteous time to pull it out.

Revan: You need to take the 'S' out or start throwing something at me every time I call you that, because that's how I pronounce it in my head.

Revan: That's your real name anyway, isn't it?

Kysle: Yep

Kysle: It was originally how I was spelling the pronunciation of my initials (KSL)

Kysle: (Interestingly enough, it's also the first two letters of my first name, my middle initial, and the first two letters of my last name)

ThePhan: Kysle: If I followed the first-two-letters-of-my-first-name etc., etc., I would be Harme.

(So we all played with that for awhile. Several Jedi-ish names later...)

wintermute: Alrth.

wintermute: My kids are Isgth, and Liath, which sound like something out of Mordor.

wintermute: Really the "th"s are aspirated t's, so maybe I should change them to Alrto, Isgto and Liato...

Randy: I read that as "Randy: The 'th"s are...."

Randy: WOndered why I was involved. heh

wintermute: Randy: You're always involved.

Randy: This is all about me. hehe

ThePhan: I will now direct every single thing I say in the chat room to Randy.

ThePhan: Randy: So, how's wintermute doing these days?

Randy: He's ok. He'd really like to make us all a chocolate cake.

wintermute: *for you all to make him a chocolate cake.

Randy: no, that's not it.

Apocalypso

LaZorra: Holy crap, I just tried to spell apocalypse.

LaZorra: Except it kept coming out "acapolyse," and I couldn't figure out what was wrong.

LaZorra: I had to stare at the correct spelling and type it letter for letter.

Sentynel: Well, apocalypso is a bit of a complex word.

Sentynel: ...apocalpyse.

Sentynel: Apocalypse.

Sentynel: Dammit.

Sentynel: Apocalypso is obviously steel drums that summon the Four Horsemen.

LaZorra: LOL LOL

LaZorra: The end of the world will happen via reggae.

Sentynel: It's the end of the world, mon.

We Are the Champions

* Goosey has a clean kitchen and cottage pie!

LaZorra: Pie that tastes of thatched roof?

Goosey: It's apparently the proper name for shepherd's pie if made with hamburger rather than lamb.

Sentynel: Yeah. Cottage pie = beef, shepherd's pie = lamb.

* Sentynel prefers cottage pie himself. Mmm, minced beef.

Goosey: This one is half ground beef and half ground turkey

LaZorra: I am hungry now, thank you all.

Goosey: LOL

iwpg: Is it weird that that line made me think of We Are The Champions?

LaZorra: The champions of EATING.

[RinkChat] The chat room's topic has been changed to 'We are the champions of eating.' by LaZorra.

TalkingDog: NO ROOM FOR SECONDS, 'CAUSE WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS.

Illinois and Corn

wintermute: I hate Illinois Nazis.

LaZorra: I would make a joke about that if I knew anything about Illinois.

Randy: LOL

LaZorra: DUDE I AM GOING TO BE LIVING IN ILLINOIS

LaZorra: Man, THAT was a spittake.

LaZorra: "...if I knew anything about HEY WAIT I AM GOING TO MOVE TO THAT STATE WITHIN A MONTH"

LaZorra: I am so stoked.

wintermute: You will probably learn several interesting facts about Illinois in the near future.

LaZorra: Are there interesting facts to learn about Illinois?

ThePhan: Here is all you need to know about Illinois: There is Chicago, and then there is corn. That is all.

Randy: CORN

LaZorra: HEY ILLINOIS, THERE'S GORN IN HERE

Sentynel: (there was corn, but it's gorn.)

LaZorra: Er.

wintermute: Gorns?

ThePhan: OH NO ALL THE CORN TURNED INTO GORN

LaZorra: There are not Star Trek monsters in here.

LaZorra: I hope.

LaZorra: :-.

LaZorra's Hair Plugs

LaZorra: GAH MY PLUG

Maryam: o.O

LaZorra: Sorry. My power cable fell out. And my computer's dying. And I am quite possibly very sleep-deprived.

Maryam: Oh, THAT sort of plug.

LaZorra: Maryam: :-.

Sentynel: ..what other sort of plugs are we thinking of, here?

Maryam: Well, for some reason, my mind first went to "hair plug"...

Maryam: And then drain plugs. And then I couldn't think of any other varieties.

Maryam: Well, that's not quite true, but the other kind I thought of wouldn't be appropriate for discussing here...

LaZorra: MY HAIR PLUGS ARE FALLING OUT

Maryam: TOPICBOT
