Leen and Celine on Caffeine

Ghost_of_Leen: The lady at Starbucks handed me 3 treat receipts, because for some reason the people before me did not want theirs.
Ghost_of_Leen: She just couldn't understand!
Ghost_of_Leen: So yeah, I can get 3 more today. -.-
Ghost_of_Leen: At only $2 for a grande!
Ghost_of_Leen: Someone would have to peel me off the ceiling.
Goosey: LOL
Ghost_of_Leen: o.0
* LaZorra peels Leen off the celine.
Ghost_of_Leen: Oh my.
LaZorra: Um.
Goosey: O.O
* LaZorra dies laughing.
Ghost_of_Leen: Was that a serious typo?
Ghost_of_Leen: OH MY
* TalkingDog whistles the Titanic theme...
Goosey: LEEN AND CELINE SITTING IN A TREE, P-E-E-L-I-N-G
LaZorra: LEEN YOU REALLY HAVE TO GET OVER CELINE DION
Ghost_of_Leen: EW
Goosey: Okay, that somehow sounds worse than I thought ...
* LaZorra cracks up even more.

Bacon!

* Kysle has bacon.
TalkingDog: BACON
Kysle: Would you believe my suitemates refused when I offered?
Kysle: Can't they see I'm extending the bacon branch?
TalkingDog: Mmmm. Bacon tree.
* TalkingDog plants bacon bits.
Kysle: Hee.
Sentynel: Watch it, TD - I don't think it's a bacon tree, it's a hambush!
Goosey: TD: DO you water a bacon tree? Or grease it?
Goosey: LOL
Sentynel: Watch it, TD - I don't think it's a bacon tree, it's a hambush!
Kysle: *groan*

Japanese Space Drummers

Randy has entered.
wintermute: Randies!
Randy: Where?
wintermute: Behind the TV.
* Randy gets them!
Kysle: Randies! sound like a candy
wintermute: Well, they are sweet.
wintermute: And covered in cinnamon.
Kysle: *blink*
Randy: with a hint of cocoanut
wintermute: Coconaunts go to space in a coconut.
Randy: Right!
Kysle: They're not chocolate eating astronauts?
Randy: That's just silly
wintermute: That would imply there are astronauts (or cosmonauts or taikonauts) that don't eat chocolate.
Randy: What's a taikonaut?
Kysle: It's not my fault people don't know the proper term and call 'em astronauts instead of coconauts
wintermute: A Chinese astronaut.
Randy: huh
wintermute: Wikipedia tells me it's not as official a term as I'd thought.
wintermute: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronaut#China
Sentynel: I read it as "Japanese space drummer", which is somewhat more awesome than the real translation (taiko being drum in japanese)
wintermute: That would be awesome, yes.
Randy: I want that on my resume.
Randy: Except I'm not Japanes and I can't drum
* TalkingDog imagines that would sound awfully quiet.
wintermute: TD: Well, if you're actually drumming in a vacuum you probably have more immediate concerns.
Kysle: Can't you wear a space suit and drum at the same time?
Sentynel: You could even drum in space inside a spaceship.
wintermute: Kysle: you'd have a job holding the drumsticks.
Kysle: Glue?
Kysle: Come on, if you can get into space, I'm sure you can find a way to hold drumsticks.
wintermute: I think you need a certain degree of fine control to drum, which spacesuits aren't really designed for.
Sentynel: You need a degree of fine control to drum well.
TalkingDog: That's why they're Japanese space drummers. Them crazy Japanese people would come up with something that works.
Randy: hehe
Randy: Maybe they would just make a giant space robot drummer
wintermute: Bah. They can't even make a crazy radioactive monster that won't destroy Tokyo.
Randy: Good point

Weird Searches

Goosey: This one is inexplicable to me: "glass went in my foot and its bleeding like crazy and i feel like fainting"
LaZorra: O.o
Goosey: You stepped on glass, you are bleeding, and you feel dizzy, so you thought you would GOOGLE the problem???
LaZorra: I like how the fault there clearly lies with the glass.
Goosey: Heheh.
Sentynel: Goosey: Clearly Wikipedia would be the more efficient solution.
Nyperold: *rimshot*
LaZorra: TITANIC KUNG FU
Goosey: "gloomy bear damage" belongs on TitleBot
LaZorra: "translate jove to english" -- New King James Version is handy for that.
Sentynel: "Gloomy Bear Damage" would make an awesome name for a death metal band.
Nyperold: Or a really strange RPG element.
Nyperold: "You take 34 points of Gloomy Bear damage!"

Tubbles and Chubbles

NessaChan: Tubbles the stray cat is here (22:52:54)
NessaChan: usually he runs when he sees me (22:53:00)
NessaChan: but tonight we made eye contact and he didn't run away (22:53:09)
Kysle: Tubbles? Seriously? (22:53:09)
NessaChan: Yes, Tubbles (22:53:19)
Kysle: Oh, he's a stray. (22:53:22)
NessaChan: The other stray cat is Chubbles (22:53:25)
i8246i: Perhaps he's getting used to you? (22:53:27)
NessaChan: I hope so (22:53:31)
Kysle: Would you name a cat you owned that? (22:53:32)
NessaChan: I dunno, my boyfriend named them (22:53:42)
i8246i: I would. Its not like a cat listens to anything that it doesn't like anyway (22:53:57)
NessaChan: if they moved in, I'd probably call them something else (22:53:58)
NessaChan: though Chubbles looks like a Chubbles. (22:54:37)
NessaChan: Tubbles isn't very Tubby though (22:54:43)

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
