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

SimAdventures With Randy and Benedict

ThePhan: RANDY YOU WERE CREEPY IN MY SIMS GAME TODAY

ThePhan: LOL

Goosey: TELL STORY

Randy: LOL LOL

ThePhan: So I made a Sims game where the characters are me, Sarah, and two of our mutual friends, and all our significant others (the two single girls get Benedict Cumberbatch and David Tennant as their SimGuys).

ThePhan: Today when I was playing, Sarah was at work and Randy suddenly started seeing little hearts when talking to me. Which, ya know, is OK, cuz Sims don't generally pursue people on their own so I was like, no biggie. But then SimMe went to sleep and SimRandy came over and sat on the bed. Just sat there. On the bed where I was sleeping.

ThePhan: SimMe apparently got creeped out, because she got out of bed and left and only went back to bed after Randy left. LOL

ThePhan: But he redeemed himself later by fixing the shower, which had been spraying water everywhere and making everyone cry when they went into the bathroom.

Randy: That is so awesome!

ThePhan: I've been playing this and updating the people involved as it goes :-)

ThePhan: Well, I haven't been updating David or Benedict.

ThePhan: I'm sure they want their fan mail addresses full of my detailed descriptions of their lives as Sims.

Sentynel: You should so do that.

Sentynel: Post if you get a response.

ThePhan: LOL

ThePhan: Well, things started off really badly, because in like the first 5 minutes of playing the game, I accidentally clicked on the wrong person and made my Sim flirt with David Tennant, who is NOT my SimHusband. So David's SimWife and Benedict were both extremely angry.

Goosey: TP: lol

Sentynel: Eh, it's David Tennant, who can blame you?

ThePhan: Sent: It is a pretty tough call between him and Benedict...

ThePhan: Benedict has apparently forgiven me, though, because we made out on a bed today.

Goosey: LOL LOL

LaZorra has entered.

Sentynel: LaZ!

ThePhan: LAZORRA

Goosey: LAZORRA

LaZorra: WELL HI

* ThePhan hopes the first thing LZ saw was Phan reporting "we made out on a bed today."
