[Log started by markm Sun Jun 13 20:23:06 1999] katre says (to markm), "yes. I've sworn off for a month." Spatch says, "ok, weird moment tonight at lake compounce" markm says (to katre), "Sworn off weekends? :-)" Caoif says (to Grocible), "I think 'In the End' would make a better target, anyway." Spatch says, "I wanted to buy a t-shirt at the gift shop" Spatch says, "but their cash register wasn't taking mastercard" Grocible says, "I would hire a lawyer to write a letter if someone like that idiot misted a game of mine" katre says (to markm), "alcohol. I felt like shit this morning." Spatch says, "so the lady behind the counter called her supervisor on the phone" Dan_Wood says (to Spatch), ""I played Curses and all I got was this lousy map."" markm says (to katre), "Good luck." Spatch says, "and said 'Yes, I was wondering if the credit card machine can be fixed; there's this gentleman from England who wants to buy a few things'" katre says (to markm), "thanks. We'll see how long I can resist the lure of 40 cent beers." Caoif says (to Grocible), "It's generally considered good form to get permission to MiST." markm had numerous friends swear off alcohol the day after but, within a few days, were back drinking again. Grocible says, "part of the reason MST3K works is because the movies are bad, but also because the writers are good. the guy on raif is a twerp" ddyte says (to Sir_Spatch), "Excellent." markm says, "Sir Spatch!" Spatch says, "I -was- being rather soft-spoken, but I didn't think I had any kind of accent" Spatch says, "it was pretty cool" markm says, "Sir Sire Spatch-Head!" Kiz says, "In the End 2 was already a fabuslous In the End parody" Spatch says (to markm), "HA!!" Caoif nods. Spatch says, "anyway, perhaps "gentleman from England" was park code for "bring out the cute supervisor and have her escort the man to another gift shop, making small talk along the way"" markm asks (to Kiz), "I haven't played it. What's it like?" Dan_Wood says, "Spatchminster College, where the elite meet to... uh... become eliter." Spatch says, "because that's what happened" markm says (to Spatch), "That rocks." katre says (to spatch), "rock." markm asks (to Spatch), "Was jendave with you?" Spatch says, "and so i had to, like, actually put -on- an accent" katre asks (to spatch), "what park was this?" katre says, "ha" Spatch says (to katre), "lake compounce in connecticut" (From ddyte) Spatch says, "Just wanted to purchase some small souvenirs for the return trip to the mother country, wot ho old chap." markm laughs. Dan_Wood says, "Righty-ho, Oi'd loke to buhy 'is 'ere tee-shurt." markm says (to dd), "The 'wot ho old chap' is what does it for me." Spatch says, "the girl asked me "It would be funny if you were from Bristol, England", because the park is in Bristol, Connecticut" markm says, "hee" katre falls over. Dan_Wood asks, "Did you write out a check with a Bristol pencil?" (From markm) Spatch says, "So I said 'ha! You can't catch me up on that one! I bet there isn't even a Bristol in England'." (From ddyte) spatch says, "Yes, I'm doing a world tour to see as many bristols as possible." Spatch says, "but what could I do? I said, in a soft-spoken Brit accent, "Actually, I'm living in Boston at the moment."" Grocible says, "spatch: by which you meant the one in england" Spatch says, "The first name that popped into my head was Manchester, admittedly, but I don't know any Manchester United trivia which she was bound to ask me" mcp says, "cheers" mcp has disconnected. mcp goes home. "If it was a deliberate act, then it seems like she meant to kill her. Or am I just completely insane?" markm says (to groc), "heh" ddyte says (to spatch), "Say you're a Manchester City fan and hate United." (From markm) Spatch says, "'I'm not a socc.. er a football fan.'" Spatch says (to markm), "ha!!" Jota says, "In case there's anyone here who was in the conversation this was relevant to:" Jota says, "If wishes were horses, then beggars would ride." markm asks (to Spatch), "So what happened next?" Spatch says (to markm), "I paid for my shirt and said "ta"." markm says, "'Cheers!'" katre says (to spatch), "yay!" Spatch asks, "Pip pip cheerio and all that, roit?" markm chuckles. Sometimes we don't talk, we just drop bombs. And sometimes we go into a situation and just eat humans. DGlasser points out that while fruit flies like a banana, ifMUD flies like a monkey. DGlasser says, "hey there" Jota greets DG. Spatch says, "I'm kind of afraid to show myself back at that park again without working up another accent" Dan_Wood says, "What was written on the shirt. If you went through all that rigamarole for a non-descript t-shirt, it's in the monkey house for you." Spatch says, "next time, I be Fronch." Ryan asks (to DGlasser), "Hi. I looked at the new ifHOS. Groovy. Want me to fix the computer.gif?" DGlasser says (to Ryan), "Sure." (From Spatch) Spatch says, "The t-shirt said USA ALL THE WAY DOWN WITH THE LIMEY BRITS" DGlasser says (to Ryan), "There's a neeto-keen tabular version too." katre says (to dg), "wave" Spatch says, "actually, the shirt was the old Wildcat roller-coaster logo and was only $10. The new logo is lame." Caoif says (to Spatch), "The Revolutionary War was over 300 years ago. We've made peace with the Brits." (From ddyte) (from Spatch) Spatch says, "Spatch, master of the self-spoof." markm says, "hee" DGlasser laughs. Spatch says (to caoif), "Surely you jest. They fight each other all the time in Lexington and Concord! Then they sell popcorn and lemonade and we all have a nice picnic." DGlasser exclaims (to Caoif), "Maybe you have, but I'M STILL AT WAR!" Dan_Wood says, "I've got a pic for the ifHOS." Spatch says, "and the Revolutionary War was less than 225 years ago, actually." Caoif says, "Well, I guess I';m a traitor. I happen to LIKE British productions like Dr. Who, Red Dwarf, Monty Python, and Hitchhiker's." Spatch says, "or, as they call it in Britain, "The War That Dares Not Speak Its Name"" DGlasser says (to Spatch), "Stop showing off your history skills." Ryan says (to DGlasser), "Fixed and sent." Dan_Wood asks (to Caoif), "Do you like inform or the American as Apple-Pie TADS?" DGlasser exclaims (to Ryan), "Yay!" Caoif says (to Dan), "Both, actually. Both languages are good." Spatch likes the subversive elements of the STALIN compiler. Ryan says (to DGlasser), "Now it's an iMac. :)" Spatch says, "I love compiling pogroms with STALIN!" (From Earendil) WWII dares to speak. "My name is Bob." Caoif says (to Dan), "Then again, I'm just a player, not a programmer." (from DGlasser) WWII says, "And I'm an alcoholic." Dan_Wood says (to Caoif), "I think Graham's a brit." Caoif says (to Dan), "He is." Alex exclaims, "Awwk! Log started!" [Log finished Sun Jun 13 20:23:16 1999]
