Bunnyboy: PP: Don't worry. We're not your clients!
klokwkdog: Yeah, that's a good example, BB - Bumbershoot. There's all kinda music going on.
professorPoop: was milton a shitbag?
Boney: I don't rip off Poe, I rip off Aristophanes
Bambi: can we play them on CNI and give you a plug?
Johnny Piano: What's that, Bambi?
klokwkdog: Although I somehow suspect that the suits will re-name that film before it plays the multiplex ;-)
Bunnyboy: NY Dolls and Iggy were keen, as was Meester Elvis.
professorPoop: we take drugs seriously at our house too boney
Boney: Currently I'm working on a play titled The Gnats
Bambi: listening to the one that started when I loaded the page right now
klokwkdog: didn't they have Deathcab there?
Bambi: CNI Radio
Bunnyboy: MILTON is about a lady's adversarial relationship with her cat.
Johnny Piano: Duh, I'm slow on the uptake...absolutely you can play them.
Bunnyboy: VERY funny.
Bunnyboy: A must-see for all cat owners.

Rotonoto: (snapper, mackerel, flounder, etc.)
Bambi: won't let me download though...an error

Dexter Fong: Catherwood. get out the Black Beauty
||||||||| Catherwood gets out the black beauty.
klokwkdog is now on a reduced power basis
klokwkdog: not being into oxidation at the moment...
Rotonoto: gird your grid, klok
Boney: His lyrics in Live and Let Die are the reason the War on Drugs is going after casual pot smokers
Dexter Fong emulates car sounds: Vroooooom
Rotonoto: nor reduction
Bunnyboy: (sings) DILL-DOH, DILL-DOH, DIDDLE-DIDDLE-DILL-DOH!
Rotonoto: oxidation ad absurdum
Boney: wait til they hear Silly Love Songs

Rotonoto: you mean missus number two?
Boney: too late
||||||||| Catherwood says "11:17 PM, time for SOMEONE to leave!", grabs Bunnyboy by the collar and gives 'em the old bum's rush out the door
Johnny Piano: New McCartney album next week...actually looking forward to it

Johnny Piano: But of course, Roto
Rotonoto: missus number one made him swear off meat

Rotonoto: sacre amuve
Johnny Piano: She only has one foot anyway
Boney: and your bird is green... Better open the window
klokwkdog: my point
Rotonoto: how can she walk if it is up his arse all the time?
Johnny Piano: my slow
Johnny Piano: Rather handy, I suppose
Rotonoto: sacre mauve
klokwkdog: roto - you mean he has two of them in there?
Boney: maybe she ate something that tastes like pork
Rotonoto: Johnny sez she has only one foot- you know, the old saw about one-legged man in an ass kicking contest
||||||||| It's 11:20 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| professorPoop - dead from measles
||||||||| llanwydd - dead from intense demonic possession
||||||||| Better luck next time! And now, back to our chatroom, which is already in progress...
klokwkdog: roto - I never heard the version with the saw...
cease: so her lack of a foot means paul can't smoke?
cease: i dont follow that
klokwkdog: she can't either
cease: if i lose a toe does my wife have to give up green tea?
Rotonoto: I'm lost too- ask Johnny- Roto off for brief kitchen forage...
Johnny Piano: Nah, the wife just said no more smoking
cease: your kitchen wears briefs?
Johnny Piano: The fact that she's one-legged has naught to do with it
klokwkdog: sounds like she's giving off enough for the both of them
klokwkdog: besides, there's always brownies
cease: brwon shoes dont make it
Boney: which bird was green?
cease: youve seen 7 wonders?
Johnny Piano: "And Your Bird Can Sing" from REVOLVER
Boney: Yes, but... Which bird?
Johnny Piano: Have to ask Lennon...
klokwkdog: Boney - not sure. But McGuinn was on This Week In Tech #21 up now. Hawking his new 7-string, which is not cheap. But there's a contest where you can win one...
cease: that was an odd time, when the beatles went from being just another, though regularly tuneful pop band, to the driving musical force of their time
cease: who else has done that?
Johnny Piano: McGuinn on 7-string? Damn, he should stay with the Ricky...
cease: elvis presly went from driving musical force to a lifetime of bad movies
klokwkdog: Cat - you mean, besides the Rolling Stones?
klokwkdog: JP - sorry, it's a Martin
cease: i dont see the stones in that way, klok
Boney: bird can swing, bird isn't green
cease: the road from satisfcxtion, to what, 200 lightyears from home, both tunes i love,but compare that to the road from hard days night to revolver. not the same thing
Boney: I thought maybe she was an Amazon Parrot
klokwkdog: Cat - they did everything the Beatles did, except backward
Johnny Piano: Martin, eh? Check out Taylor...
cease: both are favourite bands, its just i dont think stones ever transcended their genre the way the beatles did
klokwkdog: JP - I'm not guitarist; don't care. But McGuinn had some straight up things to say about how musicians are reimbursed and the piracy controversy. It's worth hearing the podcast for that alone
cease: there was a lot of cross fertrilization of music in that era, great stuff bubbling up all the time
Boney: Here it is. "You say you've seen seven wonders and your bird is green"
Bambi: Clem has a 1969 Fender Esquire (he got it brand new for chistmas when he was 16) ... someone tried to buy it from him during a show and he told them no way, this was a gift from my Mom.
klokwkdog: fine. which bird?
cease: i got the first part of it
klokwkdog: wow, Bambi
cease: that parrot is deceased
klokwkdog: TWIT 21 is really interesting, though.
klokwkdog: it's just sleeping, Cat
Boney: So are John, George and Paul's first wife
cease: its pining for the pine forests of british columbia
Johnny Piano: And Ringo's first wife
Boney: a parrot has good odds of outliving you
Johnny Piano: Whoa, nice guitar, Clem! That's something to hold onto.
cease: i want to see that new flick, parrots of telegraph hill
cease: i remember the parrot that taught dr. dolitttle animal languages
klokwkdog: Mars volcanoes not dead, just resting (man, I like their headline writers!) http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/09/08/mars_not_dead/
Boney: a parrot reputed to have belonged to Churchill still lives... and a foulmouthed bird it is
cease: thtg was one smart parrot
cease: yes and neal cassady's parrot still lives and mimics him perfectly
cease: he died almost 40 yearfs ago
klokwkdog: wow, the Beatles as Spinal Tap...
cease: with ringo as Harry Shearer
Bambi: yes, Clem is very fond of that guitar ... it's a dream to play too
Merlyn: the spinal trappe family singers
Boney: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/3414323.stm
Johnny Piano: I wish I could play guitar decently - very rudimentary knowledge. But I have a great guitarist to work with anyway
klokwkdog: hey Bambi - while you have the Bandwidth - they have a video of TWIT #21 up now. 585 MB bittorrent: http://www.revision3.com/twit
Boney: Paulie wanna cracker?
klokwkdog: so clem can see the 7-string (suspect the camera work will be a tad lacking, though)
Boney: Nite.
||||||||| "Hey Boney!" ... Boney turns, and sees Bradshaw approching with the handcuffs, and is dragged away, screaming "it's only 11:38 PM, I don't have to go yet!"...
klokwkdog: bittorrent is nice, but oh wow does it clog up the computer compared to a single thread download
klokwkdog: every single resource seems to get maxxed out
Merlyn: I'm taking off too, see you next week
||||||||| "11:39 PM? I'm late!" exclaims Merlyn, who then scurries out through the french doors and down through the flowerbeds.
klokwkdog: nite Merlyn, Boney
cease: by merl
cease: bone
Johnny Piano: Nite Merl
klokwkdog: I guess I'll wait until Dex returns, then bug out meself
cease: offing like flies
Johnny Piano: See ya, Bone
klokwkdog: offal? who you callin' a dummy?
Bambi: night Merlyn
Johnny Piano: Bambi, I'm sending tunes left and right - mainly "finished" mixes.
klokwkdog fires up his mail client, having been off in Linux burning DVD+R. For some reason, Nero in Windows only makes coasters of DVD+Rs, but K3B in Linux cranks them out like hotcakes. Perfect. But came back for chat w/o looking at mail
Bambi: excellent Johnny!
Bambi: while we have the bandwidth here that's great!
Johnny Piano: Good, don't want to clog the inbox
Bambi: way cool!
Bambi: drat ... are they only doing that in Torrents Klok?
Bambi: not to worry :-)
Johnny Piano: I guess I'm going to leave...but I will continue firing tunes your way, Bambi.
klokwkdog: there's a nice BT client for Linux -- or so I've heard
Johnny Piano: See you all on the list again soon
klokwkdog: nite, JP
||||||||| Around 11:45 PM, Johnny Piano walks off into the sunset...
Bambi: thanks Johnny :-)
Bambi: I am gonna have to get rolling too ... allergies have been driving me nuts
klokwkdog: Bambi - I'd d/l it and mail it to you, but I suspect that's too big for even my mail allocation ;-)
klokwkdog: nite, Bambi.
klokwkdog: it's 585 MB ; they may need to in order to preserve any server bandwidth atoll!!
Bambi: LOL .. mine too Klok :-)
Bambi: heard that
klokwkdog: why I was axing you guys about rsync for Linux, 'cause I didn't want to get the Knoppix DVD via BT
Bambi: thanks for the offer though :-)
klokwkdog: but I ended up using BT
Bambi: night all!
cease: dex is still away?
klokwkdog: well, it's just you and me, Cat
Bambi: yeah, haven't used rsync personally ... Clem might know
klokwkdog: Roto is going gray, but he promised to wait out Dex
Bambi: see ya next time
klokwkdog: nite
klokwkdog: no problems with BT, Bambi
||||||||| "Hey Bambi!" ... Bambi turns, and sees Bradshaw approching with the handcuffs, and is dragged away, screaming "it's only 11:49 PM, I don't have to go yet!"...
klokwkdog: I presume Dex will return
klokwkdog: I have to leave shortly after he returns, though
klokwkdog: was in Ocean State Job Lot tonight buying cheap stuff, Cat. They had closeout long-sleeved T-shirts. One of them was a Vancouver Slalom Team shirt; I thought of you.
klokwkdog: but it just "wasn't me"
klokwkdog: they had some strange-looking fleece vests for $10. Still had Kohl's price stickers on them that said $55. I tried hard to figure out how they were worth the $10 price OSJL wanted, but couldn't
cease: dex told me of reading of a previous guest at a place he was in italy, who were from north van.
cease: its a small world, after all
klokwkdog: yeah, bird flu should get here any day now
klokwkdog: i think I got cc'd on that msg or a reply or something
cease: if it aint one thing, it's another
klokwkdog: you channeling Gilda Radner?
klokwkdog: you can take comfort in that your leaders are not even half as crazy as ours...
klokwkdog: except maybe when they send the whole Navy packing to defend the Northwest Passage against "attack"...
klokwkdog: not the same as invading another country and killing tens of thousands of civilians
klokwkdog: for a lie
klokwkdog: for a whole serial set of lies
cease: gotta keep them danes away
cease: pesky havarti-heads
klokwkdog: yeah
klokwkdog: show the flag
klokwkdog: gad, it's all happening again. "2-3-4 what're we fighting for??"
klokwkdog: the Reason of the Week
klokwkdog: and the guy who killed 3000 of our citizens is sitting in Pakistan, laughing at us
||||||||| Catherwood walks in wearing his pyjamas, yawns, and mumbles "It's midnight here in New York city"...then he falls over and starts snoring loudly..
klokwkdog: catherwood, your stupid clock is off again
||||||||| Catherwood says "I beg to differ! My watch keeps perfect time! It's 12:01 AM, exactly!"
klokwkdog: catherwood, that's absolute bullshit
||||||||| Catherwood strides over to klokwkdog and yells "oh, fuck off klokwkdog!"
klokwkdog: just shut up, catherwood
||||||||| Catherwood rushes over to klokwkdog and queries "Did you want something?"
klokwkdog: ROTO! you still there?
Dexter Fong: I'm here
klokwkdog: WB, Dex
Dexter Fong: Thanks K
klokwkdog: I promised I'd hang out until you returned
klokwkdog: I think Cat's conked out or wandered away, as has Roto
Dexter Fong: =)) Appreciate it Brian =)
klokwkdog: Roto promised to wait you out...
cease: no,i just have company
Rotonoto: ..
Dexter Fong: Well, Klok, what say we blow thios joint
klokwkdog: oh,
cease: so off we go
Rotonoto: sorry, on phone with Bozoette
klokwkdog: yeah, I guess so
||||||||| At 12:07 AM, the lights go out! Rocky Rococo's voice pierces the inky darkness: "I've got you now, cease!" Shattering glass is heard, and then the lights come back on...
klokwkdog: much more important than chat, Roto!
Dexter Fong: Hi Roto...like tine parking space...no room for enormous feelings
klokwkdog: yeah, let's do the thing
klokwkdog: I see Dex has an attack of the haikus
Dexter Fong: Well thanks for staying Dear Firends...se y'all next week
klokwkdog: nite all
||||||||| At 12:08 AM, klokwkdog vanishes mysteriously -- just as Nino the Mind Boggler predicted!
Dexter Fong: Nighty
||||||||| klokwkdog tiptoes in around 12:08 AM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last year's "unpleasant incident."
||||||||| Catherwood says "12:08 AM, time for SOMEONE to leave!", grabs klokwkdog by the collar and gives 'em the old bum's rush out the door
Dexter Fong: Nite Roto
||||||||| Catherwood walks up and pipes up "Presenting 'klokwkdog', just granted probation at 12:08 AM", then leaves hurriedly.
||||||||| klokwkdog runs out the back door as Mayor P'nisnose blasts through the front door holding a shotgun and shouting "Where's klokwkdog?! It's 12:08 AM and my ballot boxes haven't been stuffed yet!"
||||||||| klokwkdog bounds in at 12:08 AM carrying an obsidian door knocker.
||||||||| klokwkdog says "Catherwood, call me a cab." After the obvious joke, klokwkdog exits at 12:09 AM.
||||||||| Catherwood enters with klokwkdog close behind, grumbles something about disrupting his 12:09 AM tree-stunting plans, and scurries off to the Aviary.
Dexter Fong: Klok just can
||||||||| klokwkdog leaves at 12:09 AM, singing "Oh, I'm just a little fishy, floating in the sea, and there ain't no hook that's smart enough to catch the likes of me..."
||||||||| 12:09 AM: klokwkdog jumps out of the hall closet saying "I've been listening to all of you talking about me for the past half hour!"
Dexter Fong: say good bye
klokwkdog: this is kind of fun. good-bye...
||||||||| At 12:09 AM, klokwkdog vanishes mysteriously -- just as Nino the Mind Boggler predicted!
||||||||| With a theatrical clearing of his throat, Catherwood snorts derisively: "12:09 AM and late as usual, it's klokwkdog, just back from Hellmouth."
Dexter Fong: Bye Klok
Dexter Fong: =))
||||||||| klokwkdog leaves at 12:09 AM, singing "Oh, I'm just a little fishy, floating in the sea, and there ain't no hook that's smart enough to catch the likes of me..."
Rotonoto: sorry I missed the ending...
||||||||| Catherwood accompanies klokwkdog into the room, accepts an I.O.U. as a gratuity, grumbles something about 12:09 AM, then departs.
klokwkdog: bye, Roto, Dex!
||||||||| At 12:09 AM, klokwkdog vanishes mysteriously -- just as Nino the Mind Boggler predicted!
||||||||| klokwkdog steals in around 12:10 AM, trying to avoid Catherwood because of last month's "unpleasant incident."
Dexter Fong: Roto: It seems to be never ending
||||||||| klokwkdog departs at 12:10 AM, singing "Toad away, toad away; toad away, toad away! Where do you go when you're toad away?"
Rotonoto: my friend got her very first Nigerian scam email

Rotonoto: that's a new one on me- what's a "prada"
Rotonoto: aw, explain it to me next week- I'll let you go
Dexter Fong: Prada = very expensive designer purses, clothing etc....favorite target of knockoff artists
Rotonoto: ahhh, I might have guessed- Gucci, in other words...
Dexter Fong: Yeah..like that
Dexter Fong: Nigerians seem to have the inside track on selling them...seen them in NYC, Italy (on the beach at the Med) etc
Dexter Fong: Night Roto..thanks for staying =)
Rotonoto: nite, later Dex...
Rotonoto: Get your hands off me, I'm a newsman, I gotta know- Reeeebussss!!!
||||||||| At 12:17 AM, Rotonoto runs out the door saying "Hey, mister ice-cream man, I've got a nickel, wait for meeeee..."
||||||||| It's 12:30 PM, and that means it's time to play BEAT THE REAPER! And here's how our contestants did:
||||||||| Dexter Fong - dead from measles
