[Log started by Gunther Fri Apr 30 08:22:03 1999]

Lonewolf goes to conform to something else.
Jota wonders why Gunther wants a picture, for that matter.
Gunther says, "i want to see if you fit my expectation."
schep asks, "Does who use a flag to remember listing preference, or do you
  have to specify it every time?"
Gunther says, "cos i think you look like tony wiggins"
schep says, "s/flag/field/"
Gunther says (to jota), "also your name, rank and serial number"
Jota says (to Gunther), "I'm about 6'1" tall, and rather round. I have long
  brown hair and beard, and brown eyes."
Jota says, "Also, I'm white and male."
schep says (to Gunther), "name: Jota. rank: Admiral. serial number: 789."
Jota says (to schep), "You can store it in the whomode field on yourself."
Gunther says, "yup - tony wiggins. i rule."
Jota asks (to Gunther), "Also, what's a Tony Wiggins?"
Gunther says, "also, I said serial number, not resignation code"
Jota isn't resigning anyway.
Gunther says (to jota), "the same as a jota, only it's called tony
  wiggins"
Jota says, "Serial number: 970720"
Jota asks, "Does Tony Wiggins reboot the MUD every night lately?"
Gunther asks, "realname?"
Jota hasn't got one.
Lonewolf sighs. "I hate shaving. Well, sometimes."
Gunther says, "haha"
Jota isn't Tony Wiggins, though.
Jota says (to LNO), "Then don't."
Gunther doesn
Jota asks (to Gunther), "Is Tony Wiggins famous, or is it someone you
  know?"
<ddyte> has been picked up by bats and dropped nearby!
Gunther doesn't understand why Jota won't tell. He guesses it's just to
  tease him, now.
Lonewolf says (to Jota), "You remind me a lot of a friend of mine who fits
  your description (except for the beard) and goes by the name Beldin, and
  has for the past eight years."
schep says, "Hey, he says who he isn't. Now we just have to ask about all N
  billion names,..."
Jota says (to Gunther), "Not just you. to tease everyone."
ddyte (7.30 NBC) David says HEY THERE LADY with wacky consequences. Zany
  antics ensue.
Jota says (to LNO), "Do i act like him too? ANd I know the name Beldin
  sounds familiar..."
Jota greets dd.
ddyte says, "Yo."
Gunther says (to jota), "he's marilyn manson's tour manager"
Jota says (to Gunther), "Aha. If I ever see him, I'll let you know if I
  look like him."
Gunther says (to jota), "but liza et al know, and all the bostoncon d00ds
  and d00dettes will know too"
Lonewolf says (to Jota), "You act somewhat like him; he borrowed the name
  from David Eddings' books."
Jota asks (to Gunther), "Liza knows? Since when?"
Gunther asks, "i thought you said she did?"
Jota says (to Gunther), "And why will the Boston conners know? :)"
Jota doesn't recall saying that...
Gunther says, "you don"
Jota says, "She knows my address... but AFAIK, she's still puzzling over my
  name."
Gunther asks, "ou don't think they'll call you Jota, do you?"
Jota says (to Gunther), "Why not? It is my nickname in RL."
Gunther asks, "also, if she has your address, how hard can it be to get the
  name?"
<Miseri> Miseri has connected to ifMUD.
Miseri is sitting quietly nearby. You must not have noticed him entering
  the room.
Jota says (to Gunther), "Dunno. But last I heard, she was hoping to get my
  name from me in Boston..."
Jota greets Jeff.
Miseri says, "Good morning."
Miseri was not shaved in his sleep last night.
Jota says (to Jeff), "Good to hear."
schep says (to Jota), "What was the name on the check Spatch got? I heard
  something about that."
Jota hates it when the elves shave him at night.
Miseri says (to Mutt), "The booby traps might have had something to do with
  it"
Jota says (to schep), "It was a money order. I had to sign it, but I didn't
  have to print my name."
Jota says (to schep), "And if he could read that signature, then he
  deserves to know my name :)"
Lonewolf says, "class + breakfast beckons."
Lonewolf waves.
Jota waves to LNO.
Miseri says (to Lonewolf), "'bye"
Gunther says, ""HA!!"
Jota blinks.
Gunther says, "Lycos' WhoWhere gotcha."
Jota asks, "Really?"
Miseri asks, "eh?"
Gunther says, "yes."
Jota says, "Whisper it to me."
Gunther says, "as does four11"
Gunther says, "unfortunately, they both have you as "Admiral Jota.""
Jota asks, "No real name listed?"
Jota grins.
Gunther asks, "How could you get an internet provider that accepts "admiral
  jota"?"
<Jarb> Life is hard, anybody that tells you differently is trying to sell
  you something.
Jarb appears out of nowhere, now with fighting kung-fu action!
Jota says (to Gunther), "They know my real name. But my finger data doesn't
  reflect it."
Jota says (to Gunther), "I requested privacy."
Jota greets Jarb.
Gunther ponders e-mailing tiac.net
<katre> evades his boss and enters ifMUD.
katre materializes with a shimmering special effect along with Captain
  Kirk. The overactor gives katre a good kick into the lounge, snarling "
  Don't ever ... switch PIES ... on my SHIP ... again!" and then promptly
  disappears.
katre says, "wave"
<thumper> hellos Alex, katre, Jarb, Gunther, ddyte, Lonewolf, schep, Jota,
  Misericordius, and anyone he might have forgotten.
katre says, "graham's been busy, hasn't he."
thumper asks, "Eating crackers?"
Jota greets katre and Jota.
thumper exclaims, "Eeeagh! It's a self-greeting Jota!"
katre says, "eagh!"
Jota says (to Gunther), "I don't think they're legally permitted to give
  that out, actually."
Jota greets katre and thumper.
Gunther says, "damnation"
thumper asks (to gunther), "Monkey feathers?"
Gunther hacks tiac.net
thumper says, "Ah, Jota feathers."
Jota chuckles.
Jota hmms.
Gunther has disconnected.
Gunther votes to just kill everyone and let God sort them out.
<Gunther> Defiantly ignoring the officers' orders to freeze, Livingston
  dropped to the floor and convulsed wildly, kicking and thrashing and
  hurling blood in all directions.
<Gunther> KEANU kicks the SHIT out of HUGO.  He makes him explode and then
  gives him the finger and breaks his sunglasses and kicks him in the
  TESTICLES and decapitates him and shoves his head back up his own BUTT.
Gunther materializes.
Jota says, "If there were a player called Delete, it would be impossible to
  send mail to him/her."
Gunther says, "eeagh. proxy crashed"
<delete> has connected to ifMUD.
Jota says (to thumper), "Thanks."
Jota ums.
Jota says, "Wait a minute..."
Jota asks, "thumper's idle?"
thumper asks (to jota), "Hm?"
Jota wonders, "Is the WWW character creation interface up?"
thumper says (to jota), "Not unless I decide to start running an external
  mail sending program."
Jota hits himself in the forhead.
Gunther asks, "ever heard of @tellroom?"
Jota puts on a convenient dunce cap.
Jota says (to Gunther), "Shaddup."
Gunther asks, "ever heard of 'finger'?"
Gunther says (to Jota), "you suck in so many ways..."
Gunther says, ":-))"
Jota wonders if he should point out who *created* both @tellroom and finger
  here on ifMUD...
Gunther cyberstalks jota.
Jota asks, "Wait, was finger mine?"
Jota isn't sure, but thinks so.
Gunther gives fin... nah.
Gunther asks, "your homepage is ALSO down?"
Jota grins.
Gunther guesses that jota's first name starts with 'j'
Jota hasn't had a home page for some time.
Jota had no meaningful material to put on one.
thumper asks (to jota), "So at least tell us why you chose 'jota' as a
  nick?"
Gunther says, "lycos still finds the contents of your old homepage"
Jota says (to Gunther), "Excellent. That is correct."
Gunther says, "Hi, my name is Jota, formerly known as Admiral Jota."
Jota says (to thumper), "Sure. It's from high School Spanish."
Gunther says, "I could give you my real name here, but that would d..."
thumper exclaims (to gunther), "Ha!"
Gunther says (to thumper), "...estroy the wonderful anonymity of the
  Internet."
Jota says (to thumper), "I had used the nickname JJ at school, and then
  when i took Spanish, I translated that literally for my Spanish name: jota
  Jota."
schep asks, "Hrmm. Ref?"
Gunther says, "What I can tell you is that I'm 20 years old and a ... (here
  it stops)"
thumper asks, "So your last name begins with a J as well?"
Jota says (to Gunther), "Shaddup. I wrote that as a teenager, for heaven
  sakes..."
Jota says (to thumper), "Nope, middle."
Gunther says, "AHA! You're Jay Jay Okocha!"
thumper says, "Jack, James, Jim, ..."
Jota started using 'Jota Jota' as a general purpose nickname, and then
  later shortened it to 'Jota'. Tada.
Jota asks, "Okocha? What's an Okocha?"
schep asks, "And Admiral?"
Jota says (to schep), "Ah, from playing various space-related games."
Gunther says (to jota), "soccer player"
Jota says (to schep), "Part TradeWars 2002, and part a certain part of
  HoloMUCK."
Jota says (to Gunther), "Not I."
Gunther says (to jota), "J.J. "Augustine" Okocha"
Jota says (to Gunther), "Still not I."
Gunther guesses John J. (something)
<Ryan> You're a jerk, Dent. A real kneebiter.
Ryan appears out of nowhere, now with fighting kung-fu action!
Jota greets Ryan.
Ryan says, "Hi, Jota."
Jota says (to Gunther), "Maybe, but unlikely."
thumper asks (to gunther), "Is that a 'Yes'?"
Gunther says, "jack. jason. jordan."
Ryan says, "I want a DOS Snack interpreter than can interpret these
  Cheez-Its."
Gunther asks (to thumper), "?"
thumper says (to gunther), "the maybe."
Gunther asks (to thumper), "how should I know?"
Jota laughs.
Gunther asks (to thumper), "Evin, what the HELL are you talking about?"
Jota wonders if someone is going to log the Quest for my name via Alex.
Gunther asks, "why should we?"
Jota shrugs. "Well, *I'm* amused..."
Ryan asks (to alex), "jota?"
Alex says (to Ryan), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that Jota is the hacker
  responsible for most of the bugs that give ifMUD its lovable personality. 
  Also, going and coming from the toyshop.  Also, smart.  Also, a wizard."
Gunther says, "there is no base to guess on."
<Dilbon> Unfortunately, there's a radio connected to my brain.
Dilbon shines!
Jota greets Dilbon.
Jota says (to Gunther), "Sure there is. You know my first two initials."
Gunther says, "which makes this pretty uninteresting and uncool"
Gunther says, "it'd be much cooler to scour the web/mud for truename
  clues"
Gunther says, "but there are none."
katre says (to Jota), "code up a mud-quest"
Gunther says (to jota), "also, there are about 10 billion names starting
  with "J""
Jota says, "Here's a clue: My name (first, middle, last) contains four of
  the five vowels."
schep asks, "What's .at?"
Jota says (to Gunther), "And my first name contains three of them."
Gunther asks, "?"
Jota asks (to katre), "Didn't I already do that once?"
Gunther says (to schep), "austria, of course"
<Psmith> Psmith is.
Psmith clambers through a window that wasn't there a moment ago, and drops
  lightly to the floor. The window isn't there again.
Jota greets Psmith.
Jota asks (to Gunther), "You don't like those clues?"
schep says, "Oh, really? Because I found a broken link pointing to
  www.jota.at"
Psmith says, "Hello again, crowd."
Ryan asks (to jota), "what's your email address?"
Jota says (to schep), "Oh? No idea what that is."
Jota says (to Ryan), "jota@tiac.net"
Gunther says (to jota), "three vowels ..."
Gunther asks, "jamie?"
Jota says, "Nix."
schep says, "Jehovah."
Jota says, "Nyet."
Ryan says, "You know what I hate? I hate hosts that don't have finger
  daemons."
Dilbon asks, "Horace?"
Jota says, "Negative."
Jota poses (to Ryan): Jota grins.
Gunther says, "jonathan"
Dilbon says, "Jebediah"
Jota says, "Nuh-uh. And that's only two of the five vowels."
Jota says (to Dilbon), "Nope."
Dilbon asks, "Are there a total of three different vowels or what?"
Gunther says (to ryan), "yep"
Ryan says, "I seem to recall having friends who work/worked at tiac.
  Perhaps they can assist me."
Gunther says, "ah, three DIFFERENT."
Jota says (to Ryan), "Don't forget, it's illegal for a company to give out
  customer information without permission."
Gunther asks (to jota), "so?"
Ryan says (to Jota), "Can I have your permission? :)"
Jota says (to Ryan), "Non."
Dilbon says, "Roberta"
Jota says (to Dilbon), "Nah."
Dilbon says, "Alfredo"
Gunther says, "joei"
Jota says (to Dilbon and Gunther), "No."
Gunther says (to dilbon), "starts with a 'j'"
Dilbon says, "Ah."
Gunther asks (to jota), "is it an unusual name?"
Dilbon asks, "Jamie has laready benn said, right?"
Jota notes, for anyone who doesn't know, 'Jota' is pronounced as in
  Spanish.
Jota says (to Gunther), "Somewhat."
Jota says (to Gunther), "But most folks have heard of it."
Dilbon asks, "hota?"
Jota says (to Dilbon), "That's how it's pronounced."
Gunther is completely lost now. He has no idea about unusual US names.
Ryan asks, "What relation does 'Jota' have to your real name?"
Jota says (to Gunther), "You were the one to ask the question :)"
Gunther asks, "Juan?"
Gunther says, "no"
Psmith asks (to Jota), "Julian?"
Dilbon says, "Juanito"
Jota says (to Ryan), "'Jota' is Spanish for 'J', which is my first
  initial."
Ryan says (to Gunther), "That's because your name is pronounced Goon-ter."
Ryan says (to Jota), "Ah."
Jota says (to Gunther, Psmith, and Dilbon), "Nicht."
Gunther asks (to jota), "but your name is not spanish?"
Jota is running out of ways to say 'no', with words starting in N.
Jota says (to Gunther), "Right."
Psmith asks (to Jota), "Jeremiah?"
Jota says (to Ps), "Nil."
Gunther asks (to jota), "'nein'? 'niemals'? 'nie'?"
Dilbon says, "Nietu"
Jota says (to Dilbon), "Nein."
thumper asks, "joshua?"
Dilbon says, "No, that was a way to say 'no'."
Jota says (to thumper), "Niemals."
Gunther asks, "jared?"
Jota says (to Gunther), "Nie."
thumper asks, "jerome?"
Dilbon says, "Jermaine"
Jota says (to thumper), "Nietu."
Gunther says, "joachim"
Jota decides to make a confession...
Gunther says, "(or joaquin)"
Jota says, "Someone has gotten it right. :)"
Dilbon says, "Juxer"
Jota says, "Now run, off to your backlogs :)"
Gunther says, "joshua"
Jota isn't going to say any more than what he has though. At least, not
  today.
Gunther asks, "someone? who?"
Ryan says, "He didn't say 'no' to Julian."
Jota says (to Gunther), "Can't say... :)"
Psmith asks (to Jota), "Jacques?"
Gunther says, "Julian it is."
Psmith ahs, wait, it's already been got.
Gunther says, "that's an unusual US name indeed."
Jota says (to Gunther), "I didn't say it was Julian."
Gunther says, "ah, but it is"
Jota snickers quietly.
Dilbon says, "Right, now we all think that it's Julian."
katre says (to jota), "we don't care what you think.  your name is now
  julian, and will be forevermore."
Psmith says, "Julian's uncommon in the US? It's reasonably common here."
Gunther says (to psmith), "jota said so himself"
Jota laughs.
Gunther says, "(when he pretended to be julian somethingorother from b5)"
Jota doesn't even *watch* B5!
Gunther says (to jools), "so, now for the last name"
thumper asks (to gunther), "ds9, perhaps?"
Gunther says, "maybe"
Jota does wathc DS9, and guessing you're talking about Dr. Bashir?
Gunther says, "cant remember"
ddyte asks (to jimbob), "Woah, when do you post the list to raif and make
  us guess for money?"
Jota says (to dd), "Hmm, not a bad idea..."
Gunther says (to ddyte), "he's jools"
Miseri says (to Mutt), "I'm guessing your real name is Jeff."
Ryan says, "I have proved it undisputably. AN=472367100. The words 'jota'
  and 'julian' are both in that post."
Jota says (to Jeff), "Feel free to guess at will."
Miseri says, "Just because that would make things that much more
  interesting"
Jota asks (to Ryan), "Erm. Is that post a reply to Julian Arnold,
  perhaps?"
Alex exclaims, "Awwk! Log started!"
Jota blinks.
Ryan says (to Jota), "No."
Jota knew someone would log it eventually.
Miseri asks, "...Jessica...?"
Psmith asks (to Ryan), "You speak Finnish?"
<Iain> And now, the radio forepl---I do beg your pardon: the Radio 4 Play.
Ryan says (to P), "No. :)"
Iain arrives from the east.
Iain says, "Hello."
thumper checks his backlog and notes that Jota did indeed 'Nicht' Julian.
Jota greets iain.
Miseri says, "hello"
Iain says, "Busy today."
Ryan says, "Just search the document for 'jota' and 'julian'."
Psmith says (to thumper), "But he lied once."
Gunther says, "Julian J. Simon"
thumper asks (to psmith), "Hm?"
Miseri says, "Jeroboam"
Iain asks, "Whassis?"
Miseri says, "jalapeno"
Jota says (to Gunther), "Nope, not Simon."
Jota says (to Iain), "They're trying to figure out my name."
Gunther says, "aha! so you admit it."
ddyte says, "Ok, I'm outta here, v soon."
Iain asks, "It starts with a J?"
Jota will say that his last name is also a common, uncapitalized English
  word.
Jota says (to Iain), "Yes."
Jota asks (to Gunther), "Admit what?"
Gunther says (to iain), "it's julian"
Ryan says, "Juice!"
Iain says, "'jeepers'."
Gunther says (to jota), "Julian J. Monkey!"
Jota says (to Gunther), "Nope. Simon was closer."
Gunther asks, "simian?"
Iain says, "Jarfunkel."
Jota chuckles.
schep says, "No wonder he 'doesn't like a monkey'."
Gunther says, "yay"
Gunther asks (to jota), "closer vocally?"
Gunther says, "(ie how you pronounce it)"
Jota says (to Gunther), "Yes."
Ryan asks (to Jota), "What do you do for a living?"
thumper says, "So given names starting with J containing 3 different
  vowels: Jamie Jebediah joei Julian Jeremiah joshua jerome Jermaine
  joachim"
Psmith says (to Ryan), "He's an Admiral, of course."
Gunther asks, "what does "uncapizalized' mean?"
Ryan says, "Jambone."
<markm> The ghoul is summoned from beyond the grave!
Iain says, "Jamboree"
Gunther says (to thumper), "he has admitted to Julian at least"
markm slips into the room quietly.
Ryan says, "Jibberish."
Iain says (to markm), "Hello."
markm says, "hi"
Dilbon says, "Does the last name begin with J"
Psmith says (to thumper), "That list misses out Jacques."
Jota says (to Ryan), "Student."
schep pulls the mask off Jota. It's yor frend!
Iain says, "Jock."
Gunther says (to dilbon), "it sounds like "simon""
Iain says, "Jorick."
Gunther says (to iain), "shut up"
Gunther says (to iain), "you don'T know the rules"
Iain says (to Gunther), "I forget what I'm supposed to be guessing again."
thumper says (to psmith), "No one guessed that."
Iain says (to Gunther), "Ah, okay."
Psmith did, once.
Jota says, "Uncapitalized means it's not a proper noun. Not a name, that
  would be capitalized, just a regular noun."
Dilbon says, "Fish"
Gunther says (to iain), "last name, common uncapitalized english word,
  sounds like 'simon'"
Iain says, "Oookay."
schep says, "Actually, just more like 'simon' than like 'monkey'"
Dilbon says, "Lemon"
thumper says (to psmith), "But that was after he said someone had guessed
  it."
Iain says (to schep), "Well, that narrows it down."
Psmith says (to thumper), "True."
Dilbon says, "Hmm, yeah. Julian Lemon. No, wait, Jota is in fact Julian
  Lennon"
schep says, "mason"
Iain says (to Dilbon), "Whoa."
Ryan says, "Cool."
schep says, "miller, etc."
thumper says, "It would probably be easier to go for middle name first,
  since we know more about it."
Iain says, "What do we know about that? We being you."
Ryan says, "Also, I think I'll scream. All people search directories
  require a last name."
thumper says (to iain), "It begins with a J too."
Iain says, "Jerome."
Ryan says, "Jeremiah."
Dilbon says, "James, Johnson"
Ryan says, "Jill."
markm says, "Joesph, Jude, Jerky"
schep says, "Oh dear. Here we go again."
Iain asks, "Okay, so are there constraints on this name?"
Jota finds himself a bit behind.
Jota asks, "Did everyone forget the first clue I gave?"
markm finds himself a huge behind.
schep says, "Also, the entire name first middle last contains four
  different vowels, no more."
Ryan asks, "'Starts with J.'?"
Iain says (to markm), "Mmmm, nice."
Iain asks (to schep), "Four different vowels? Used once each?"
Ryan says (to schep), "Five, I think."
ddyte says, "James Jonah Jameson."
schep says, "He didn't say used once each."
Psmith says (to Iain), "No restriction on number of uses."
thumper asks, "JAMES JOHN JOSEPH JASON JOSE JEFFREY JOSHUA JERRY JOE JUAN
  JACK JONATHAN JUSTIN JEREMY JESSE JOHNNY JIMMY JEFFERY JEFF JACOB JESUS
  JOEL JAY JIM JON JEROME JORGE JARED JAMIE JESSIE JAVIER JULIO JIMMIE JORDAN
  JAIME JOHNNIE JULIAN JACKIE JOEY JEREMIAH JULIUS JEAN JOHNATHAN JONATHON
  JERMAINE JAKE JODY JOSH JAN JERALD JESS JUNIOR JASPER JAMAL JARROD JOAQUIN

  JAMAAL JUDSON JARRED JED JONAH JERROLD JEFFEREY JAMISON JAMEY JC JORDON
  JAROD JUDE JOHNSON JAE JOSPEH JEWELL JERRELL JEROMY JACINTO JERAMY JEWEL
  JERE?"
Iain asks (to ddyte), "Isn't that Spiderman's boss?"
markm says, "John Jacob Jignleheimer Schmidt"
Ryan says (to thumper), "It's in there, somewhere."
ddyte says (to iain), "Yes. Also, I am Peter Parker."
schep asks (to Ryan), "Wait, you know?"
Jota blinks at the list that just popped up.
Ryan says (to schep), "No."
Iain says (to ddyte), "I'll be the weird guy with the orange triangular
  haircut."
Iain says, "Robby? Can't remember."
ddyte umms. It's been a few years.
Gunther says, "julian jesus lennon"
Ryan says, "It's Julio. Jota is a Three Tenor."
Gunther says, "eeagh"
Psmith asks, "What kind of a name is Jerald?"
Iain likes saying hoo-lio.
Gunther says, "cornhoo-lio"
Iain says, "Jerry Cornelius."
Dilbon says, "Julian Corn"
markm says, "hoolio inglayseeass"
Ryan says, "Or maybe he's Orange Julius."
Iain says, "'Jamaal' would be cool. I wish I was called that."
markm says (to iain), "It could be your nickanme on the mud if you like."
Gunther says, "the middle name is irrelevant"
ddyte says, "Jamaal El Meriq."
Jota notes, for the sake of letting the game continue, that his middle name
  is reasonably common.
Jamaal says (to markm), "No, that would be silly."
Dilbon says, "Jarry"
Gunther says, "let's go for the last name"
Dilbon says, "Jerry"
Jota asks (to Jam), "You think?"
Jiain. asks, "Last name is a work that is a bit like 'simon', right?"
Jama-Al says, "Yo."
Gunther says, "sounds like simon"
Jota says (to Jiain.), "Not exactly, no."
Psmith asks (to Jota), "But it doesn't sound like 'monkey', right?"
Jama-Al says, "I'm Jama-Al, the newest editor of the Journal of the
  American Medical Association."
Jota says, "In addition to being my last name, it's also a regular noun.
  And it sounds more like 'Simon' than 'Monkey'."
Jota says, "Well, in my opinion, at least."
Iajn says (to Jota), "So does 'nuclear warfare'."
Ryan says, "Jammin'."
Ryan says, "Gotta go now."
Ryan waves.
Ryan has disconnected.
Ryan I like disconnect,home. Do you like disconnect?
<Ryan> SOOOOOOOSIE IS A BOOOOGER BRAIN!
Jota says (to Iain), "Perhaps."
Iajn says, "Bye."
Gunther says, "someone start perl and load the vocal module"
thumper asks, "Hm. Should I paste all regular nouns which sound more like
  'simon' than 'monkey'?"
Dilbon asks, "Ball?"
Psmith says (to thumper), "Yes."
Jota says (to thumper), "Heh."
Iajn says (to thumper), "Yay."
Dilbon asks, "Does that sound more like monkey or simon?"
Psmith says (to Dilber), "Sounds more like "monkey" to me."
Dilbon says, "Oh."
Iain says (to Dilbon), "'Ball' sounds more like 'monkey'. the first vowels
  are similar."
Jota will note that at least one of the suggestions so for (he won't say if
  it was a first name or last name suggestion) started with the same letter
  as his last name.
Gunther says (to thumper), "yes you should"
Psmith says (to Dilbon), "But then, a lot of things sound like "monkey"."
Jota says, "But my last name has not yet been suggested."
Dilbon says, "'elevator' is more like monkey."
ddyte says (to jota), "pieman"
markm says (to jota), "Suarez"
Dilbon says, "Suavo"
Jota says (to dd and markm), "Nope."
Iain says, "Cinqo."
Iain says, "Persiflage."
Jota says (to Dilbon Iain), "No."
schep says, "Sharp"
Jota notes that none of those are common nouns.
markm says (to iain), "I like persiflage."
markm says (to jota), "Box."
Iain says, "Yet again, I must recommend that you watch Father Ted."
Iain says, "Mrs Doyle would guess it in no time."
Jota says (to markm), "Nope."
Dilbon says, "Harmon"
markm thinks of common nouns.
Psmith says (to Jota), "Tea."
Jota asks (to Dilbon), "Is Harmon a common noun?"
Iain says (to markm), "It means 'banter', apparently. It's my new favourite
  word."
Jota says (to Ps), "Nope."
ddyte says (to jota), "timin'"
Psmith says (to Iain), ""Airy persiflage" is even better."
Dilbon says (to Jota), "Erm. I guess I lost something in the translation."

  course :)

  two?"
Iain says, "The last time I played it, I managed to muck up the entire game
  for everybody. Fun."
Jota says (to schep), "Yes."
Jota wonders if he just really really annoyed schep.
Miseri says (to Iain), "Mr Green is in the american version, and Miss Peach

Jota says (to thumper), "Maybe."
liza appears out of nowhere. Killer robotic players on the loose!

Jota greets liza.
markm says (to iain), "The kitchen killed the conservatory!  With the
  candlestick!"
Miseri says (to Mutt), "Seeing as how that's where that Mystery Writers
  thingy is based."
Jota asks (to liza), "You don't know my name, do you?"

Gunther asks (to jota), "is your last name six letters or less?"
Jota asks (to schep), "Were you snoring, and the other person couldn't
  sleep untilt hey woke you?"
Psmith says (to schep), "He spoke to you. This was obviously enough to
  satisfy him."
Jota says (to Gunther), "Yes."
schep says (to Psmith), "So I had to infer."
liza says, "My programmer orker just came in for the first time since we
  moved, and said, 'I see you snuck into The Perl Journal.'"
Iain blips.
Jota says (to liza), "Excellent."

Miseri says, "See you later, all."
Jota says (to thumper), "I dunno if it is or not."
Miseri crashes through the floor
Iain says, "Bye."
Miseri has disconnected.
Miseri isn't here. That's odd. You must have missed him leaving. Or maybe
  he was never here to begin with.
<Miseri> Miseri has disconnected from ifMUD.
Gunther asks (to jota), "your name is exactly 5 letters?"
Dilbon says, "Well, I'm drinKing at least."

Jota says (to Gunther), "No."
thumper says (to jota), "A is a 65"
Iain says, "Asky? A is 65."
schep says, "it's six letters, apparently."
Jota says (to thumper), "Odd, then."
Dilbon asks (to Jota), "Are the letters in alphabetical order?"
Iain says (to Dilbon), "If by 'the letters' you mean 'the alphabet', yes."
markm says, "OK, folks.  I have to get going.  Later."
Jota says (to Dilbon), "Nope."
markm says, "Bye"
Iain says, "Bye."

Iain says, "'Schweinhunde' must be one of them."
Gunther says, "no"
Gunther says, "one is goering's first name, and one is the first name of
  two of the actors in AHX"
Dilbon asks (to Jota), "When you type your surname do you need the bottom
  row?"
Gunther says, "there, that was easy"
Iain asks, "AHX?"
Gunther says (to iain), "hey, figure _something_ out yourself"
Jota says (to Dilbon), "No."
Dilbon says, "Wow. A clue."
Gunther says, "also, its of course the GERMAN spelling of both"
Iain says (to Gunther), "Aaargh."
Dilbon says, "It  doesn't have a N"
Gunther says, "wait, US keyboard? that means no ZXCVBNM,.-"
Gunther says (to thumper), "start the regexp engine."
schep says, "No period in his name? Darn."
(From Dilbon) Mr. Zxcvbnm says, "Did somebody call me?"
Iain decides that everyone should be called 'Shaboob', to eliminate all
  confusion.
Jota says (to Dilbon and Gunther), "Right."
Shaboob sleeps.
schep says (to gunth), "Also, / not -"
Jota says (to schep), "Um, all the letters in my last name are letters."
mamster came to get down, came to get down, so get off your seat and jump
  around!
Psmith says (to schep), "Also, \"
mamster says, "Arrr."
Jota greets mamster.
Shaboob says (to mamster), "Hi."
mamster says (to liza), "Read Ebert?  Great .5-star review."
Gunther asks (to jota), "foreach ($letter in @alphabet) do ..jota is
  $letter in your name?"
Jota asks (to mamster), "Who am I?"
Alex says (to Jota), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that Jota is the hacker
  responsible for most of the bugs that give ifMUD its lovable personality. 
  Also, going and coming from the toyshop.  Also, smart.  Also, a wizard."
mamster says, "Hey, uh, Shaboob"
Psmith says (to schep), "Also, |<?>"
Jota says (to Alex), "Shaddup."
Alex exclaims (to Jota), "Awwwk! No parse found!"
Iain says (to mamster), "Er, it's actually me. Sorry."
schep says (to Psmith), "What? \ is not on the bottom row of a US
  keyboard."
Jota says (to Gunther), "Maybe."
mamster says (to Jota), "You are a monkey."
Psmith says (to schep), "Oh."
Jota says (to mamster), "False."
Iain changes his name back to Shaboob until people stop trying to find out
  other peoples' names.
Psmith says (to schep), "Fair enough, then."
mamster asks, "Is this some kind of game?"
Gunther says (to mamster), "we're guessing his last name now. we already
  have first name & initial"
Dilbon asks, "What's his initial?"
Psmith says (to schep), "\ and | are between left-shift and Z on a UK
  keyboard."
schep says (to Dilbon), ""You see a Jota here."
Jota says, "They *think* they have my first name."
Gunther says, "J"
mamster says, "I think I've blown my chance of enjoying _election_ by
  reading too many reviews.  I'm a dope."
Jota says (to Ps), "Some old fashioned US keyboards do."
Dilbon says, "Hmm. You don't need the bottom row to type 'grapefruit'"
Gunther says, "rrgh."
Gunther says, "you didn't object"
Jota says (to Dilbon), "Curses! How did you guess? ;)"
Lonewolf says, "and you can type 'database' using only the left hand."
Lonewolf says, "and 'flasks' and 'flagfall' are the longest actual words
  you can type using only the home row."
schep says, "And typewriter with only the top row."
Shaboob says (to Lonewolf), "You can type anything with your left hand if
  you're sufficiently dextrous."
Gunther says (to iain), "ahx is american history x"
Jota is surprised no one has asked about how many/which vowels are in his
  last name.
thumper asks, "Do we have any more clues than this: 6 letters, first letter
  one of acegikmoqsuwy, no letters in bottom row of qwerty keyboard, not two
  syllables?"
Gunther says (to iain), "if you can't figger it out..."
Iain says (to Gunther), "Okay, so which actor is it? :)"
Lonewolf says (to Shaboob), "Back in elementary school in one of those
  aimless typing classes they forced everyone to take, I was too ingrained in
  my own style of typing to use the home row.  When the teacher saw I was
  averaging 126 wpm, he asked me to use just one hand - I quickly dropped to
  about 40 wpm."
Gunther says (to iain), "TWO actors"
Lonewolf says, "Boop boop shaboob."
Iain got bored with Shaboob.
Lonewolf wanders off to code something that drifted into his mind during
  class.
Jota gets bored with Iain.
Iain says (to Jota), "Took you long enough."
Gunther asks (to iain), "well?"
Dilbon asks, "And Jota's name is bigger than a breadbox, who asked that?"
Jota asks (to Dilbon), "Ps, I think?"
thumper asks (to jota), "Is the first letter an S?"
Gunther asks (to jota), "first letter: s?"
Jota says (to thumper), "Maybe."
Jota says (to Gunther), "Maybe."
thumper says, "Heh."
Gunther says, "'maybe"
Iain says (to Gunther), "Uh, I'm really not paying attention here. I can't
  quite remember the original question. Goering's first name was one of your
  middle names, and something else."
Dilbon asks, "So does that mean that the thing your name is is big?"
Jota wonders how they both simultaneously came to that same letter?
schep says, "Maybe isn't six letters. And it has a b."
Jota says (to Dilbon), "Yes. Well, bigger than a breadbox."
Gunther says (to iain), "the first name of two of the actors in ahx"
Gunther says, "all in german spelling"
Iain says (to Gunther), "Okay, I'll look the damned thing up, then. :)"
Dilbon asks (to Jota), "Tree?"
Jota says (to Dilbon), "Nope."
Gunther says (to iain), "heh"
Gunther asks (to jota), "is it a job (like "smith")?"

Gunther asks (to jota), "thing of daily use?"
Dilbon says, "Steel"
Jota says (to Ps), "Yes."
Jota says (to Gunther), "Yes."
Gunther says, "WoodenWood!!"
Dilbon says, "Key"
Jota is taking 'mineral' in the bread animal/vegetable/mineral sense.
Gunther asks, "diamond?"
Jota says (to Gunther), "WoodenWood is a plant."
Jota says (to Dilbon), "No."
schep asks, "Robot?"
Jota says (to Gunther), "No."
Jota says (to schep), "No."
Dilbon says, "Those have bottom keys."
Gunther is glad that Jota's name isn'T "Dianamo" or something
Dilbon says, "Flipper"
Jota asks, "Also, how many keys are bigger than a breadbox?"
Gunther says, "6-letter mineral from the upper 2 keyboard rows that sounds
  like simon."
Jota asks, "Or flippers, for that matter?"
schep asks, "Manmade?"
Jota says (to schep), "Yes."
Dilbon says, "Towel"
Jota says (to Dilbon), "Nope."
thumper asks (to jota), "Are there any 'o's in your last name?"
schep asks, "metallic?"
Jota wonders how many ifMUDders can actually count :)
Jota says (to thumper), "Nope."
Dilbon says, "But that's not mineral."
Jota says (to schep), "No, not really."
Dilbon asks, "Is the 6 letter thing a fact?"
Jota says (to Dilbon), "Yes."
schep asks, "plastic?"
Jota says (to schep), "No."
Gunther asks (to jota), "what is your father's name?"
Dilbon says, "Toilet"
schep says, "bridge"

Jota says (to Dilbon), "No."
Jota says (to schep), "no."
thumper asks (to jota), "Are there any 't's in your last name?"
Jota says (to thumper), "Yes."
Iain says (to Gunther), "Got it, but I don't know the German spellings."
Gunther says (to jota), "last"
Gunther says (to iain), "well, say 'em"
Jota says (to Gunther), "Same as mine."
Gunther says (to jota), "ha ha"
schep asks, "Wait, don't we know something about number of syllables?"
Jota says (to schep), "Yes."
Gunther says, "1"
thumper asks (to jota), "Are there any 'w's in your last name?"
Dilbon asks, "One syllable?"
liza says (to mamster), "HEY THERE MFFHRHRHRHHGGHH"
Jota says (to thumper), "No."
Gunther asks, "is it a valuable mineral or gem?"
Jota says (to Gunther), "No."
mamster says (to liza), "I like a chimp."
Gunther asks, "plain stone-like?"
Jota says, "I don't know what you mean by plain stone-like..."
Psmith says (to Jota), "Styles."
Jota says (to Ps), "That is not my name."
Gunther says, "mineral, but not valuable"
schep says (to Gunther), "manmade."
liza scans scrollback. "Ooh, Ebert day!"
Jota says (to Gunther), "Yes. Mineral, but not valuable."
Dilbon says, "Statue"
Gunther says, "ie something you could pick up on the road"
Psmith says (to Gunther), "Mineral only in the non-organic sense."
Jota says (to Dilbon), "Nope."
mamster says (to liza), "The 1/2* review rules."
Jota says (to Gunther), "Heh. I'd have to say no, I think."
Dilbon says, "That would be a silly name."
Gunther asks, "so, not a type of stone?"
liza says, "Are we still guessing Jota's name? Because I was just to
  wrestle his license away from him next week."
Gunther asks, "simply non-animate?"
Jota says (to Gunther), "Not a type of stone, no."
liza says, "Damn. He didn't review 'Open Your Eyes'."
Gunther asks, "a type of metal?"
Jota says (to liza), "Yes. Last name, at the moment."
mamster says (to liza), "But SCreenit did.  Sounds rad."
Dilbon asks, "Black metal? Trash metal? Speed metal?"
schep says (to Gunther), "That's not what mineral means."
thumper asks (to jota), "Are there any 'g's in your last name?"
mamster says (to liza), "I guess I'll drag myself to the Angelika."
Jota says (to Gunther), "Not animate. And no, not a type of metal."
liza says (to mamster), "Aie! You weren't supposed to read anything about
  it."
Jota says (to Dilbon), "No."
Jota says (to thumper), "No."
Gunther asks (to jota), "something you use in the household?"
mamster says (to liza), "Well, I didn't read the spoilers."
liza says (to mamster), "Reading a list of genres is spoiling for this
  movie."
Dilbon says, "Tissue"
Jota says (to Gunther), "Um. Depends on what 'in the household is'..."
mamster says (to liza), "OK."
Jota asks (to Gunther), "In the home, or by the family?"
Gunther says (to jota), "kitchen"
Jota says (to Gunther), "Nope."
Gunther says (to jota), "in the home"
schep asks (to thumper), "Are you working on a list from /usr/dict?"
liza reads the first paragraph of the 1/2 * review, and cracks up.
Jota says (to Gunther), "Nope."
thumper says (to schep), "Yes."
Gunther asks (to jota), "by the family?"
Jota says (to Gunther), "Sure."
Gunther says, "tampon"
Psmith suspects it's not in /usr/dict/words :-/
Jota says (to Gunther), "Ha. Nope."
Dilbon says, "I don't use tampons."
Dilbon says, "In fact, I've only seen one live once."
Dilbon says, "It was longer than I imagined."
Gunther asks, "now, what do you mean by "used by the family"?"
Jota says (to Dilbon), "Um..."
Iain says (to Dilbon), "'Live'? No, forget I asked."
Jota says (to Gunther), "Yes or no questions, please."
liza laughs.
Psmith asks (to Jota), "Wait. You entire name contains no more than four
  vowels, didn't you say?"
liza says, "Oh man, this is the best review ever."
Jota says (to Ps), "Right."
mamster says (to liza), "Tolja."
thumper says (to psmith), "four different vowels."
liza changes her @doing.
Gunther asks, "and it rhymes with simon?"
liza says, "Oops, wait."
Jota says (to Gunther), "No."
schep says, "But they can be reused."
liza says, "Oops, wait."
liza says, "Aie!"
thumper asks (to jota), "Are there any 'r's in your last name?"
Jota says, "Its sound is closer to 'simon' than 'monkey'."
Jota says (to thumper), "Maybe."
schep asks (to thumper), "What's the size at?"
Gunther says (to jota), "'yes' or 'no', please"
Psmith asks (to Jota), "Are you counting y as a vowel, where appropriate?"
thumper says (to schep), "146"
thumper says (to schep), "Not counting mineralization."
Jota says (to Gunther), "I reserved the right to claim 'maybe's at will
  :)"
Jota says (to Ps), "No."
liza says, "And of course, the last line is a total classic."
schep asks (to thumper), "What about 'noun'?"
thumper says (to schep), "Not counting that either."
Gunther asks (to jota), "a toilet article?"
Psmith asks (to Jota), "Do any of the letters in your last name appear more
  than once in it?"
Jota asks (to Gunther), "Nope. Not used in the home, remember?"
Jota says (to Ps), "Yes."

Gunther asks, "is it a noun?"
mamster says, "Admiral Karate."
Jota says (to Gunther), "Yes."
mamster says, "(Kid)"
Gunther votes for 'stupid'
<Spatch> Ain't nothing better than dancing bradys!!!!
Gunther asks (to jota), "does it have 'st'?"
Jota says (to Gunther), "Unfortunately, that has to be another 'maybe'."
Jota apologises for all the maybes here.
Gunther doesn'T know what Jota means by "used by the family"
Gunther asks, "a type of car?"
Jota says (to Gunther), "Neither do I."
mamster says (to Gunther), "The Mafia."
Gunther asks, "a type of transportation?"
Jota says, "Not a type of car."
Dilbon asks (to Jota), "Is the last letter s?"
Spatch here now!
Jota says, "*Maybe* a type of transportation. I don't know the right answer
  to that."
Jota says (to Dilbon), "no."
Jota greets Spatch.
Psmith asks (to Jota), "Is it a single object?"
Gunther asks (to jota), "? why ?"
Jota says (to Spatch), "We're playing 20,000 questions."
Spatch says, "good morning1"
Jota says (to Ps), "For rough definitions of 'object', yes."
Gunther says (to spatch), "we're trackin' down jota's last name"
Jota says (to Gunther), "If you knew the answer, you'd know why :)"
Gunther says (to jota), "that sounds like anson turner"
Spatch says (to jota), "That's a lot of questions."
Gunther says (to jota), "IM like bus, subway, .."
Jota asks (to Gunther), "Does it?"
Gunther says, "yes"
Jota says (to Spatch), "Indeed."
Jota says (to Gunther), "No, then."
mamster says, "Gotta go bye."
mamster has been seen around the monkey house with a ratchet.
Iain says, "Bye."
Dilbon asks (to Jota), "Has the word ever been used here in ifMUD?"
Jota says (to Dilbon), "I think it's safe to say yes to that."
Jota wonders if this ought to be on #puzzles :)
liza says (to Jota), "Yay!"
thumper asks (to jota), "does it contain an 'r'?"
Jota says (to thumper), "Yes."
Dilbon says, "Street"
Jota asks (to liza), "Sorry, is this bothring you?"
Iain hands Miss Subtle America award to Liza.
schep exclaims (to Dilbon), "Woo!"
liza says (to Jota), "Well, I'm not paying attention, so."
Jota smirks at #puzzles.
Dilbon says, "Yay. I'm on it."
Gunther says, "but even though my clues were be:wonders for what value of
  "transportation" it'd've been "yes""
Gunther says, "oops"
Gunther says, "discard all before :"
schep asks, "It's Street, isn't it?"
Gunther wonders for what value of "transportation" it'd've been yes.
Dilbon says, "That would be a silly name."
Gunther says (to dilbon), "um, no"
Psmith says, "Street's a reasonably common name."
Gunther asks (to jota), "something cars drive on?"
Gunther asks, "runway?"
thumper asks (to jota), "Are all its vowels the same?"

!n@Ne wonders whether the discussion is already on #puzzles or not.
Dilbon asks, "Can you juggle with your name?"
Jota asks, "Is anyone else lagging?"
Dilbon says, "I write this now."
thumper says (to jota), "I'm not lagging."
Gunther asks, "are you, in fact, Julian J. Street?"
Gunther wonders when this will exceed inky's quota
Dilbon says, "I'm Julian J. Street"
Jota unlags all at once.
