[Log started by Adam Thu Sep 23 12:40:22 1999] Limax says, "Sorry. She's homesick, so she's going to Indiana for a week." Iain says (to dddyte), "Yay." Limax says, "And I have no vacation time." Iain says, "Argh, ddamn dddds." ddyte says, "Wait a sec. Homesick for Indiana? That's worrying." DorianX asks, "Why is it you don't inhale cigars?" Limax says (to ddyte), "All her family is there." Sargent says, "Now I've got the song 'Gary, Indiana' stuck in my head." Gunther says (to DorianX), "Because you're not stupid." Iain says (to DX), "Because they're not gaseous." Why is no one wearing a head scarf here? Why are there pictures of naked women? Adam walks into the lounge. Saves on the teleportation charges, and it's good exercise. Limax says (to Sargent), "She's from near there. She used to work in Gary." ddyte says (to limax), "my sympathy to them" inky says, "more IF games need to support >GARY, INDIANA" DorianX says, "WHy is it that you don't inhale cigars" Sargent says (to Liamx), "Woo!" Rob says, "Crap. They really made this worse to use." Spatch says (to sargent), "s/Gary/Eerie/ and you've got a fun fun song to sing!" Adam says, "Okay, let me tell you all about my dream" Iain says (to Adam), "Hello." Sargent says (to Spatch), "Yay!" Iain says (to Adam), "First you were quoting funny headlines, and now this." Iain says, "Earendil and Adam, separated at birth." DorianX says, "Erp. stupid clien" Mael raises an eyebrow. Rob says, "In the old version, it would change the actual text you were going to use to the new font, as you browsed through the font menu." Bloodthorn has connected to ifMUD. Limax says, "She said it was always quite interesting working at the emergency room there... between the shootings, stabbings, etc." Bloodthorn is my favourite... ah, forget it. I got nothin here. Rob says, "Now you have to make do with AaBb." (From Sargent) Adam says, "Well, I did cut my lip on some paper." Bloodthorn says, "'Ello" (From Gunther) Adam says, "And my uncle mowed his toe off." Limax asks (of Sarge), "Do you know if there's a review of "The Smoking Mirror" anywhere?" Adam says, "Now, in real life a while back, Matthew sent our CD to the Rocket (or the Stranger? I forget) which has an annual issue where they do very short reviews of every CD they're sent" Iain says (to Sargent), "_And_ he wrote a book. He's the new Zelig, I tell you." Sargent says (to Limax), "Dunno." Gunther says, "anal issue" Limax says (to Sarge), "'kay." Adam says, "So I dreamt that the issue came out, and I was trying to get to his apartment to show it to him" Mael says (to gunther), "Doesn't sound like an issue for the whole family, then." Adam says, "Except Capitol Hill had turned into this Escherian landscape" Iain says, "Wow" Adam says, "So I'm wandering around, trying to find his building" Adam says, "At one point I meet up with neild" Adam says, "neild says, 'I like Chicken McNuggets much more than regular chicken. The chicken isn't as good, but you get breading.'" inky says, "um" Iain laughs. Adam says, "I point out that he can just buy regular chicken and put breading on it" Limax says, "So, anyway, I'm on my own from the 16th to the 23rd. I think I'll be renting a few movies." inky asks, "so scotland has no tld?" Adam says, "His eyes light up. 'Or I could just get breading all by itself and eat that!'" Iain asks (of inky), "tdl?" Adam says, "So he goes off to do that, and I go on my way" Iain says, "tld, even." Psmith says (to inky), "No." Psmith says (to inky), "well, yes. .uk" ddyte says (to adam), "this is so eerie. neild and i had this exact conversation" inky says (to ddyte), "hee" Adam says, "I find myself in a wide, well-lit tower with a vertiginous staircase" Iain says (to Psmith), "Um." Adam says, "A door opens, and David Hasselhoff comes out" Adam says, "He has some chyk with him" Psmith asks (of Iain), "Um?" Iain says (to ddyte), "Are you saying neild's off-the-cuff remarks are all meticulously prepared? Pah, the fraud." Adam says, "He says, 'Scram, kid, this is my make-out place'" inky laughs. Iain exclaims (at Adam), "Ha!" Adam says, "So I go down the staircase and eventually make it to mamster's apartment" Iain says, "Someone explain 'Scotland has no TLD?'" inky asks (of alex), "tld?" Alex says (to inky), "Awwwk! Word on the street is that TLD is Top-Level Domain. Also, a list of TLD's can be found at http://www.netnamesusa.com/country/iso3166.htm. Also, wait, I meant http://www.bcpl.net/~jspath/isocodes.html." Iain says, "Ahhh." Adam says, "We comb through the listings trying to find Sadie Hawkins, but no luck -- we look under both S and H and are unsuccessful" Iain says, "Ah, of course, I typo'd when I asked about it. Doh." Gunther says, "look under M, of course" Iain says, "And didn't put a ? on the correction." Adam says, "Then I find that in the back, it's cross-indexed by performers' names" Adam says, "And under both Cadre and Amster-Burton, it says, 'see We Writing 2 Songz'" Adam says, "Which is apparently what they think the name of the band is" Psmith says, "Time to go a-boardgaming. Bye all." inky says, "bye Ps" Iain says, "Bye." Psmith wends his way back to the Alchymical Laboratory. Psmith isn't. Limax says (to Sarge), "Found one." Adam says, "I ask Matthew, 'What the hell did you write in the cover letter?'" inky says, "hmm." Limax says, "Bye, PS." Adam says, "Then I woke up" Gunther says, "DAMN" Sargent asks (of Limax), "where?" Gunther asks, "Why then?" Limax says (to Sarge), "http://gamespot.co.uk/pc.gamespot/adventure/brokensw/review.html" inky says, "I had a dream where I drove to Canada and drank mamster's Yop, but that's not nearly as good." Iain says (to Gunther), "Wow, you were really getting into that." ddyte says (to adam), "that means matthew was going to kill you" Iain says (to ddyte), "No, it means matthew fucked up the covering letter." inky says, ".sc, .so, .st, .sl, .sa, .sn, and .sd are all taken." Alex exclaims, "Awwk! Log started!" inky says, "no wonder scotland has no tld" Iain says (to inky), "It could be under 'Alba'." Iain says, "Or 'we Writing 2 Songz'."
