Blue Moon

Kalimeris: Does LaZorra ever come in here anymore?
Nyperold: Occasionally.
Goosey: Blue moon.
Goosey: a month ago last sighting.
Nyperold: You saw me chatting alone / without a RinkDream in my heart / without a love of my own...
Goosey: LOL

Spaghetti fencing!

LaZorra: So last night, I managed to stab myself under the fingernail with a piece of spaghetti.
LaZorra: I just decided to try to peel an orange with that finger.
Maryam: owww
Goosey: owwww
LaZorra: Yeah, turns out citric acid is kinda acidic...
Sentynel: With a piece of spaghetti?
Sentynel: Not that I'm not sympathetic, because citric acid in a cut hurts like nothing else, but seriously, spaghetti? =p
LaZorra: You say that as if it were an unusual occurance.
Goosey: Sent: I assume it's the dry stuff, pre-cooked
iwpg: I hope you mean uncooked... yes, that.
Sentynel: Yeah. But I'd still imagine it would be quite hard to stab oneself with it.
Sentynel: Although I haven't personally tried, so who knows.
LaZorra: It was actually post-cooked. It was stuck on my spatuala, and I couldn't get it off with my sponge, so I tried scraping it off with my thumb.
LaZorra: POKE SENTYNEL WITH SPAGHETTI
LaZorra: POKE POKE POKE
LaZorra: Yeah. And glued on. >.<
* Sentynel parries and ripostes.
Sentynel: Spaghetti fencing!
LaZorra: LOL
LaZorra: That mental image is HILARIOUS.
LaZorra: Most delicate fencing ever. You're disqualified if your strand breaks.
Goosey: LOL
Sentynel: Someone broke their sword in a match against me once. That was kinda hilarious.
LaZorra: SAM LADE, BENDER OF STEEL
Sentynel: The snapped parts didn't totally separate, it just sort of doubled back on itself.
Sentynel: My coach looked at it and goes "it's for those fancy shots where you do this.." and proceeded to wave it over my shoulder and stab me in the back with it.
Goosey: LOL
Sentynel: LaZ: They called me "the Blade", actually, for obvious reasons...
Sentynel: Which sounds an awful lot less silly when you're armoured and holding a sword.

Dave gets introduced to Minecraft

Dave: I think I just punched a chicken.
TalkingDog: Chicken puncher.
Nyperold: Kung Pow Chicken: Enter the Fist
____
Dave: And... I got killed by a zombie.
TalkingDog: brainz
Dave: In retrospect, digging a big hole in the sand was probably not my best plan for surviving a monster attack.
TalkingDog: Zombies don't like swords. You should make one.
Dave: I was trying, but I couldn't figure out how.
Dave: I guess I'll watch some videos now to find out what the hell to do.
Sam: LOL
Dave: I managed to build a workbench. But I couldn't find sticks. And everything beyond that requires sticks, apparently.
Dave: I punched the fork out of plenty of trees, but no sticks.
Randy: LOL
TalkingDog: Sticks are made from planks.
Dave: Ooooh. Thanks.
Dave: I absolutely love that resource collection involves PUNCHING THINGS.
Goosey: LOL LOL
_____
Dave: Oh man, you lose all your stuff when you die? My precious, precious things! That I punched various objects to collect!
TalkingDog: You can go pick it up, if it hasn't despawned.
TalkingDog: Items despawn in 5 minutes.  
_____
Dave: This tutorial guy needs to do more teaching and less telling me about how if I don't learn what he's about to teach I'll die.
Goosey: LOL
TalkingDog: That doesn't sound like a great tutorial.
Dave: Because I already learned that part the hard way.
Maryam: Are you still trying to figure out how to make sticks?
LaZorra: "Are you still trying to figure out how to make sticks?" is the best out-of-context line I've seen for a while.
LaZorra: IT IS SO HARD TO MAKE STICKS
Goosey: LOL LOL
Dave: Whoa. I made a door.
Goosey: Yay a door!
Dave: I punched the stuff out of a tree and somehow made a door. That's awesome.
Goosey: LOL
Goosey: I am glad you are enjoying yourself punching the stuff out of stuff.
Dave: LaZorra: It IS hard to make sticks. I mean, I thought punching trees would be enough. But no, first you have to punch trees to get wood, then you combine the wood into planks, and then from planks you can make sticks.
Randy: LOL
Goosey: Making sticks is SCIENCe.
Goosey: Okay, Goosey is going to make herself go to bed now.
Dave: How do I pause. Does it just auto pause?
Randy: nights!
Goosey: Dave: Esc.
TalkingDog: It'll pause if you're out of window too, but not if you have certain things open. (Inventory, crafting window, and similar.)
Dave: Ok cool.
Goosey: Dave: Also, pressing F3 will show your coordinates, and F5 will change the camera view
Dave: I wasn't sure if it actually paused on the options screen or not.
Goosey: yuppers
Dave: COORDINATES
Dave: Those could be handy.
Goosey: yus
Goosey: HAVE FUN

Bitter American Failure

* TalkingDog regrets tonight's McNuggets.
Goosey: TD: oogie?
TalkingDog: Half a bottle of Dew, and the aftertaste is still there.
TalkingDog: It tastes like bitter American failure.
Goosey: TD: ew
TalkingDog: It tasted more like chicken at the time.
Randy: LOL
LaZorra: TD: Aww, but LOL

Bouts of WordPress

LaZorra: One of many things I hate a bout WordPress.
* Sentynel hates bouts of WordPress too.
LaZorra: Yeah. I have to take like six aspirin every time they come up.

Sea-faghrihng cats

Note: Revan's parting line here has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with any of the previous conversation -- or ANYTHING IN THE WORLD for that matter.

Revan: Cats' kidneys are so efficient they can rehydrate from sea water. Night!
Revan has left.
Goosey: What?
redsang: Well that made my night.
redsang: I was worried about those sea-faring cats.
redsang: *fareing? faireeng? Faghrihng?
Goosey: LOL
redsang: It just didn't look right.
Goosey: hehe
* LaZorra now has "The Owl and the Pussycat" in her head.
LaZorra: "The owl and the pussycat went to sea, and the owl died because he had weaker kidneys."
TalkingDog: wat.
LaZorra: 0.0
* LaZorra has been awake too long.

Marmf.

TalkingDog: donut. nom.
Revan: I had one of those for lunch today, with some peach tea, a Fiji apple and jalapeno cheddar bagel. Kroger lunches are always fun before work. :-D
* TalkingDog has never had a donut and a bagel at the same time.
Goosey: LOL
TalkingDog: Linking them together would be the coolest magic trick.
LaZorra: TalkingDog, Food Magician!
LaZorra: "Watch me make this muffin DISAPPEAR!"
TalkingDog: marmf.

Crooked glasses and dumb bugs

LaZorra: Okay, I've lost my focus. I think that means it's time to change coffee shops. :-p
LaZorra is away.
* Sentynel adjusts LaZ's glasses
LaZorra has left.

(an hour and a half passes)

LaZorra has entered.
Sentynel: LaZ!
LaZorra: Dude, it took me FOREVER to get here because for some reason I couldn't see straight.
Sentynel: LOL
LaZorra: And then I realize, it's because my glasses are all out of whack.
Sentynel: I wondered what happened to you.
LaZorra: It's the weirdest thing.
Sentynel: Tell you what is weird - the bug I'm looking at at the moment.
Sentynel: Apparently, it can't count above a day.

(Funny thing here is, my brain interprets this as him complaining about an insect that can't count. Then I realize he's talking about code.

Sentynel: The playlist length goes all screwy if it's over a day.
Sentynel: 23 hours, 59 minutes, 59 seconds? Absolutely fine.
LaZorra: YOUR FACE is weird.
Sentynel: Add a track and it jumps to 2 days, 1 hour.
Sentynel: And nothing above that does anything logical at all.
LaZorra: (Especially through these glasses.)
Sentynel: HOW RUDE
LaZorra: Sent. O.o
LaZorra: (that's what your face looks like)
Sentynel: LOL
iwpg: LOL
Goosey: LOL LOL

Triple negative

* Goosey is staying up way too late with no good reason
* Goosey also now has hiccups.
Randy: BOOO!
LaZorra: The hiccups are a good reason to stay up.
Goosey: Randy: That always sounds like you are objecting strenuously to the hiccups.
Randy: Well I'm also doing that.
Goosey: LOL
LaZorra: LOL, I didn't get that that's NOT what he wasn't doing.
LaZorra: That's...that it...isn't what he wasn't doing...or something.
Goosey: LOL LOL
LaZorra: I AM TIRED OKAYYYYYyyyyyyyyyxzzzzz
Goosey: LOL aww

Lowercase cravings

Goosey: Last night I dreamed I harvested my lone surviving carrot . . .
Goosey: It was dark red, and huge, and had several small round carrots also attached to the same stem . . . so weird . . .
Goosey: Then later in the dream, which involved a strange beach strewn with barbecued ribs . . . Neil Gaiman and Ian McKellen (who was an author in my dream) were fighting over which one of them got me as a writing assistant. :D
LaZorra: BEEBEEKEW
Goosey: O__O

LaZorra: Sounds like the chicken nuggets I had for dinner.
Goosey: LOL LOL
Randy: those might not have been cooked well...
Goosey: And ew, chicken nuggets should NOT be pink.
LaZorra: hehe
LaZorra: I didn't actually have chicken nuggets for dinner.
LaZorra: For some reason, they equate to pink in my head.
* LaZorra is way, way tired.

Cheater

* Sentynel blinks
Sentynel: I can read Greek.
Sentynel: I'm not sure entirely when this happened.
Sentynel: But the title to one of the songs on one of today's new albums is in Greek, and I can read it.
LaZorra: ...
LaZorra: QUICK
LaZorra: TRY SHOOTING LASERS OUT OF YOUR EYES
* Sentynel focuses really hard, then cheats and tucks his laser pointer behind his ear
