cs: have you heard from honey, stones?
H Stones: i agree with honey who just said you aint had a usefull reliable program since windows 98
DJTween: So, I've heard
DJTween: Someone was saying that 8 doesn't even include a built-in DVD player
Bunnyboy: Any word from Eastcoasters. I saw some of Elayne's blog, yesterday.
Principalpoop: I think we need to realize that the entire modern civiization is a scam, then we can proceed...
H Stones: there was a dvd player on my Vostro machine.
cs: but if so, how could be talkingon these computers?
Bunnyboy: ?
H Stones: dell are ok with the hardware, no probs with that but then they pass the buck having first nicked it from my pocket, to.... guess who, Microsshite
DJTween: Can't find anything about NPR on the CD insert, cease
Thweeny: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anythynge_You_Want_To
Thweeny: "It was originally recorded in 1980 as a program for National Public Radio's Earplay, and was previously released in edited form in 1982 on LP as Shakespeare's Lost Comedie."
Thweeny: So you're correct about that
Bunnyboy: I think the Narrator, on ANYTHINGE, shouts out " produced for NPR ".
DJTween: Could be, at the end of the album
Bunnyboy: Spoken end credits.
DJTween: Yeah
cs: new job, bunny?
cs: i thought i had the album but couldnt find it
Principalpoop: I knew a guy from tacoma, said he never masturbated because that gay, a guy pleasing a guy lool

||||||||| 10:22 PM -- Merlyn left for parts unknown. (Entry from Nick Danger's "Idiots I Have Been Paid To Follow").
||||||||| Catherwood enters with H Stones close behind, mumbles something about disrupting his 10:22 PM tree-stunting plans, and dashes off to the Aviary.
Bunnyboy: DOMM files absolutely port over to phone. I would usually swap the shows out, about 6 at a time, because of file size.
