Back to the Server

Sentynel: My university's library has over 8 million books. Somewhere, there has *got* to be one by time travellers.
Goosey: :-D
Sentynel has left.
Goosey: Um, bye?
Sentynel has entered.
Sentynel: Er.
Sentynel: What I thought I said was, "And if not, then I am going to invent time travel and put one there."
Sentynel: Apparently, what I actually said was, "Please disconnect me from the server."
Sam: TCP/IP doesn't support time travel.
Sam: Which makes sense, since it's based heavily on timestamps.
Sam: You should have thought of that.
Sentynel: A disappointingly short-sighted decision on the part of the standards authority.
Sentynel: When someone invents a timetravelling server to eliminate lag and download times once and for all, they're going to have to rewrite the whole thing.

Sneaky Dreams

Sentynel: I remember parts of two. One involved trying to cross America and then the Atlantic in a powerboat (yes, America. Apparently there are water-filled tunnels underneath the entire country.)
Goosey: AWESOME
Sentynel: Naturally, we were being chased by other people in powerboats.
Goosey: Oh, naturally.
Sentynel: The other was a rather well-done horror story, exploring a cave system with something apparently malevolent but never actually encountered contained within.
Sentynel: I suspect my subconscious is wising up to the fact that if it makes something *obviously* a nightmare, I wake myself up or change the dream. Sneaky git.
Goosey: LOL

Clipboard Snafu

Revan: Hehe. We're more similar than I first thought. I like the 360 controller so I use that for both console gaming and, since the wired ones connect to the 360 by USB, I also use it on my PC for some games that support it. (02:05:17)
Revan: But for FPSes, nothing can beat the mouse's precision if you're good at sweeping. (02:05:40)
Revan: For example, check out the speed at which this headshot is done. The cursor is halfway across the screen by the time the shot even registers on-screen. Oh, I just gotta know If you're really there And you really care 'Cause baby I'm not F-f-f-foolin', ah f-f-foolin' (02:06:57)
Revan: Hm. (02:07:05)
Revan: It would seem that someone has copied Def Leppard lyrics to my clipboard. (02:07:14)
Revan: LOL (02:07:17)
Revan: And the direct photobucket link did not work. (02:07:25)
Goosey: LOL LOL (02:07:36)
ThePhan: LOL (02:07:43)

Tourist Season is OPN!

Revan: I just think if a government has an eye in the sky for such long periods of time, they've got to get bored with just spying on the turrists. (01:40:08)
Goosey: SPY ON THE TOURIST!! (01:43:54)
ThePhan: Tourists do funny things. It's fun to spy on them. (01:44:42)
[RinkChat] The chat room's topic has been changed to 'SPY OPN THE TOURIST' by Gahalyn. (01:44:44)
[RinkChat] The chat room's topic has been changed to 'OPN' by Gahalyn. (01:44:49)
Revan: LOL (01:44:55)
* Gahalyn falls over. (01:44:57)
ThePhan: Spy them open? (01:45:41)
Goosey: LOL (01:45:43)
ThePhan: 85% of tourist injuries are caused by being spied open! (01:45:59)

Hey, Screaming Roadie Chicks, Get Offa My Cloud

Revan: Shut up, crazy screaming roadie chicks. I know the Stones were awesome in their day, but I'm trying to listen to their live album. (01:00:48)
Revan: It sounds like a harem is being slaughtered during the entire song. (01:01:48)

Geese, mon. Geese.

Kysle: It's OK Goosey, the snakes are tame. (22:52:09)
Goosey: I know. I tamed them. (22:52:23)
Kysle: Oh, you know what I'm thinking of? Mongooses eating snakes. (22:52:39)
Kysle: I dunno why I was thinking snakes eat geese. (22:53:03)
ThePhan: LOL (22:53:23)

It Ain't Easy Bein' Green

* TalkingDog seems to have dreamt of Kermit and Lou Ferrigno. (05:07:10)
Nyperold: That makes sense. (05:08:26)
Nyperold: If you understand the connection. ;-) (05:08:52)
Nyperold: (Besides both being green for much of their TV career.) (05:09:52)
Nyperold: *careers (05:10:02)
