Human Interaction

Goosey: Yeah, I'm working late, working on stupid work, and I needed a few minutes of human interation. (02:34:15)
* Gahalyn interacts with Goosey in a human sort of fashion. (02:34:40)
Goosey: (02:34:47)
Kysle: LOL (02:34:56)
Gahalyn: UM I MEAN (02:35:11)
Goosey: LOL LOL (02:35:18)

Chocolate Hitler

wintermute: The only person who doesn't like chocolate is Hitler. (12:46:26)
NessaChan: hehe (12:46:28)
Dinare: And me (12:46:43)
Ghost of Sam: I got Coldstone ice cream yesterday. Chocolate ice cream with like five brownies mashed into it and a deluge of chocolate syrup. (12:47:02)
wintermute: COLDSTONE! (12:47:16)
Maryam: Mmmm, Coldstone. (12:47:29)
Ghost of Sam: I still have most of it in the freezer. (12:47:30)
wintermute: I have birthday in... 5 days. I should totally talk Amy into getting me a Coldstone cake. (12:47:38)
wintermute: Dinare: Therefore, by the transitive pronciple, you are Hitler! (12:48:03)
wintermute: *principle (12:48:09)
Dinare: Actually, I don't like chocolate so much as I'm allergic to buts. (12:48:35)
Dinare: nuts* (12:48:39)
* LaZorra is allergic to ands. (12:49:02)
LaZorra: We have to be very careful with conjunctions around my house. (12:49:17)
wintermute: Dinare: So, chocolate without butts is fine, right? (12:49:50)
Ghost of Sam: No, transitivity is if A -> B and B -> C, then A -> C. In the absence of communcativity, we must rather say that Hitler and Dinare are equivalent only if Hitler doesn't like chocolate and chocolate doesn't like Dinare. (12:49:52)
Sam has entered. (12:50:27)
[RinkChat] The chat room's topic has been changed to 'Chocolate Without Butts' by Sam. (12:50:32)
Sam has left. (12:50:34)
wintermute: Well, it's axiomatic that Hitler doesn't like chocolate, and that Hitler is the only person who doesn't like chocolate. (12:51:56)
NessaChan: Maybe Hitler just doesn't like butts (12:57:04)
wintermute: Oh, yeah. I need to go to the shops. (12:59:47)
wintermute is away. (12:59:52)

Dinare: Hey iwpg, niekie, and randy. (13:32:16)
Dinare: lol, I'm tired (13:32:38)
Randy: My friend also doesn't like chocolate. gives her headaches. And she's not Hitler. (13:33:35)
wintermute: Randy: Hitler is a master of disguise. (13:35:11)
Randy: LOL (13:36:00)
Randy: Well...he may have been at one time. (13:38:34)
Randy: Gotta get back to works (13:57:17)
Randy has left. (13:57:19)
Ghost of Sam: Transformers are also masters of disguise. (13:57:38)
iwpg: Anyone who doesn't like chocolate is a transformer? (13:58:24)
iwpg: Or maybe anyone who doesn't like transformers is a chocolate! (13:59:27)
wintermute: Or Hitler is an alien robot... (14:01:53)
NessaChan: robot hitler?!?! (14:09:28)
NessaChan: aiyeeee (14:09:30)

Rafael has entered. (14:10:28)
Rafael: Hello (14:12:04)
NessaChan: hi (14:12:11)
Rafael: So if Hitler is an alien robot, is there any chance of him making a comeback? (14:13:28)
NessaChan: I heard he was sent to a distant planet (14:15:25)
NessaChan: where T-rexes eat elephants (14:15:43)
Rafael: Oh, THAT planet. (14:16:20)
Rafael: Nevermind then. There's no coming back from that one. (14:16:38)

Sometimes I am so insensitive.

Randy: Les Paul died (13:24:57)
Goosey: LUNCH (13:30:15)
Goosey is away. (13:30:16)
wintermute: Goosey: I'm not sure that's the correct response... (13:34:24)
Rafael: Lol (13:34:44)
Randy: hehe (13:34:56)
Goosey is back. (13:36:14)
Goosey: Oh, oops, haha. (13:36:17)

Going to the Store for Leen

Ghost_of_Leen: I so need to do dishes -.- (16:48:35)
Ghost_of_Leen: I need a new head. (16:49:28)
Ghost_of_Leen: Maybe Sam can pick me up one of those at the store... (16:50:07)
LaZorra: Ooh, you have much nicer stores back east than we do out here. (16:50:56)
Ghost_of_Leen: LOL (16:51:15)
Ghost of Sam: I'm picking you up some balloon clothes. (16:56:17)
Ghost of Sam: You can sit down in those clothes. It's just that sitting down has the side effect of transforming your evening gown into a hospital gown. (16:57:13)

Meatloaf Muffin to DOG! and a Great Mess Inbetween!

Ghost_of_Leen: I don't think I can wait until dinner to have my meatloaf muffin. (12:48:54)
Ghost of Sam: Eat it! (12:49:03)
Goosey: Meatloaf ... muffin? That's like a GIANT MEATBALL (12:49:13)
Ghost_of_Leen: hehe (12:49:15)
Ghost of Sam: Pretty much, actualyl. (12:49:21)
iwpg has entered. (12:49:25)
Rafael: Meatloaf muffin? I didn't know that meatloaf came in muffin-size. (12:49:27)
Goosey: That is AWESOME (12:49:30)
iwpg: Greetings. (12:49:34)
Ghost_of_Leen: It's serving size meatloaf. (12:49:38)
Goosey: Meatloaf comes in whatever size you make it in, hon. (12:49:42)
Ghost_of_Leen: I use the huge muffin tins though. (12:50:02)
Rafael: Goosey: But then it's not exactly a loaf. (12:50:21)
Goosey: Meatbun then? (12:50:31)
Ghost_of_Leen: I lost my loaf pan. (12:50:50)
Ghost of Sam: OH MY GOSH. I JUST DISCOVERED DUCK SAUCE ISN'T MADE OF DUCK. (12:50:58)
Ghost_of_Leen: ... (12:51:09)
* LaZorra imagines a muffin with bits of meatloaf in it instead of, say, raisins. (12:51:09)
Ghost_of_Leen: NASTY (12:51:19)
TalkingDog: It's made of ducts. (12:51:22)
Goosey: EW (12:51:28)
Goosey: Sam: HULAHOOP (12:51:38)
wintermute: Saml It is the way I make it. (12:52:17)
Rafael: What a rip-off. If I buy duck sauce, I want it to contain actual duck. (12:52:18)
Ghost of Sam: I bought a Huluhoop the other day. Here's where I make a funny Hulu/hulahoop crossover joke. (12:52:40)
wintermute: Raf: And where do you stand on baby food? (12:52:54)
Goosey: =-O (12:53:04)
Rafael: ... (12:53:04)
Ghost_of_Leen: hamburg, bread crumbs, milk, eggs, onion soup mix.... mixed together and topped with brown sugar/ketchup mixture. split into 6 and put in muffin tins. EASY! (12:53:06)
Ghost of Sam: wim: In the tub. Makes less of a mess that way. (12:53:07)
Rafael: Somewhere (12:53:22)
Goosey: LOL (12:53:22)
Ghost of Sam: Ghost of Sam. Bad jokes made to order while you wait. (12:53:58)
* Ghost_of_Leen is so confused. (12:53:58)
Rafael: It's okay Leen. I'm always confused at parties. (12:54:26)
Goosey: Leen: About this bit of madness in particular? Or all of them together? (12:54:26)
* LaZorra comes back to the buffer and can't figure out what's going on. (12:54:58)
Goosey: That means it's a good day in Chat! (12:55:08)
Rafael: Lol (12:55:10)
Ghost of Sam: Leen: See, wintermute make a joke about baby food possibly being made out of babies, but the way he phrased it, it's like somebody was actually standing on the baby food, so I stand I stand on the baby food in the tub, where the food wouldn't make a mess, and I could clean my shoes off before tracking it all over the house. You gotta keep up in here. Each punchline doubles as a setup to the next one. The bad joke party just don't stop. (12:55:27)
Rafael: Yay! Good weather, nice bike ride, seeing friends, and a good day in chat. It IS going to be a good day today. (12:55:48)
TalkingDog: LZ: It's the bottom of the 8th, two tarantulas in the penalty box, and the umpire's rook is spearing the grizzly bear's ace of clubs. (12:55:54)
Ghost_of_Leen: LOL (12:55:55)
Rafael: Lol (12:56:07)
Goosey: Me randomly saying hulahoop actually wasn't that random, either, but nobody asked me about the joke behind it, so I just let it slide. (12:56:15)
Goosey: TD: LOL LOL (12:56:26)
Dinare has entered. (12:56:34)
wintermute: Goosey: Why did you pseudorandomly say "HULAHOOP"? (12:56:38)
Dinare has entered. (12:56:34)
Dinare: Hi all (12:56:41)
Ghost of Sam: TD: FOUL! THE AREA BETWEEN 5TH AND 21ST BASE IS A HANDSTAND-ONLY ZONE! (12:56:50)
Rafael: Dinare: Run while you can. It's confusing today. (12:56:55)
Lynette: Rule 6 Rule 6!!! (12:56:56)
Ghost of Sam: HOW CAN WE RULE 6 IF WE DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT! (12:57:12)
Dinare: I bet it's more fun than a car crash, or weeding. (12:57:24)
TalkingDog: Hey, I was holding the Flag of Absquatulation! (12:57:29)
Ghost of Sam: TD: Oh, okay. (12:57:40)
* TalkingDog throws the Calvinball into the sewer. (12:57:46)
wintermute: TD: But it's reverse opposite day! (12:57:50)
Goosey: My mom was somewhere of 35 years old when she finally realized that a hulahoop is NAMED a "hula" hoop, because it mimicks the hip movement of the hawaiian dance by the same name. (12:57:54)
Ghost of Sam: TD: And nobody's abs squat as well as yours do. I'm doomed. (12:58:10)
Goosey: So now when someone finally realizes something that should have been realized a long time ago, we say HULAHOOP! (12:58:18)
Ghost of Sam: *tries to figure out if he accidentally called TD fat* (12:58:24)
Lynette: I was Rule 6ing Goosey. (12:58:25)
Ghost_of_Leen: Ya know it's a good thing we live in a safe neighborhood. Sam left the kitty TV on alllll night! (12:58:27)
* TalkingDog isn't sure either. (12:58:38)
Rafael: Kitty TV? (12:58:44)
Goosey: LOL (12:58:46)
Ghost of Sam: Yeah, I did. :-/ (12:59:02)
Lynette: Who clearly did know what she was talking about, as she complied. (12:59:12)
Goosey: You're welcome! (12:59:20)
LaZorra: The . . . kitty TV? (12:59:20)
Ghost of Sam: The kitty TV is the sliding door to the deck out back. Our cats like to sit in front of it and watch it. Sometimes it gets cold in the evening, and I have to turn the TV off. (12:59:34)
* Goosey tries to count the threads of conversation and loses count at 3. (12:59:39)
Ghost_of_Leen: They come running out of nowhere when you open it. (13:00:06)
Ghost_of_Leen: And just sit there and stare. (13:00:12)
* Dinare gets confused and figures that doing something else would be better for her brain. (13:00:16)
LaZorra: Sam: If you did, that's a 3-point penalty. WhizGirl's the only one allowed to call people fat. (13:00:30)
Rafael: We've mentioned three animals. Ducks, tarantulas, and kitties. We need one more at least. (13:00:32)
Ghost of Sam: For some reason it's SO much more fun to gaze outside when the sliding door is open, even though it's made of glass and perfectly transparent. Must be because when it's open they get to hear sounds, too. (13:00:42)
Ghost of Sam: DOG! (13:00:50)
Goosey: DOG! (13:00:57)
Rafael: We all just mentioned the number 3 three times! Lol (13:00:59)
TalkingDog: DOG! (13:01:01)
Maryam: DOG! (13:01:09)
Goosey: Raf: LOL (13:01:13)
TalkingDog: Rafael: Don't forget grizzly bears. (13:01:17)
LaZorra: DOG! (13:01:24)
Rafael: Oh yeah. (13:01:31)
Rafael: Oops. We can include dogs anyway. (13:01:41)
Rafael: What breed? (13:01:45)
Lynette: DOG! (13:01:45)
Ghost of Sam: DOG is a human warrior. (13:01:55)
* TalkingDog is a Scottish terrier today. (13:02:05)
Dinare has left. (13:02:07)
Goosey: Hee! (13:02:11)

Sam patronizes my amnesia

Goosey: Um, I totally don't remember just signing into chat. (12:44:45)
Goosey: Oh, wait, yes I do. (12:45:11)
Goosey: What I don't remember is clicking on the room to enter. That part I don't remember. (12:45:29)
Ghost of Sam: To be fair to yourself, it was (millions* of nanoseconds ago. (12:45:34)
Ghost of Sam: ** (12:45:40)
Goosey: I was like, "Done reading my memos -- Oh hey! I'm in chat!" (12:45:43)
Goosey: (12:45:55)

The RinkWorks Lawsuit

Rafael: LOL! These archives are hilarious!
niekie: Rafael: which one are you reading?
Rafael: I'm reading the one called, Lipstick Express to Canada.
Rafael: Poor Sosiqui
Rafael: Wow. This is just plain cruel.
Rafael: But still hilarious!
Ghost of Sam: Raf: LOL LOL. I forgot about that archive completely.
Ghost of Sam: Leen ruled in that one.
Rafael: That whole thing was just perfect.
Rafael: Possibly my favorite one so far.
Rafael: Hey Sam, might I ask why there are no archives between 2004 and 2008?
wintermute: Because RinkWorks was on strike during that period.
Rafael: ???
Ticia: No one was funny then.
Ghost of Sam: The lawsuit didn't help, either.
* Rafael continues his ??? ing.
Rafael: Lawsuit? Strike? No humor?! How horrible can life be?!
wintermute: Yeah, turns out there's a patent on chatroom archives.
Rafael: I'm totally lost. I can't tell who's being serious and who is joking. Or if this whole thing is a joke.
Kysle: Just accept that you'll never know.
Rafael: I hate not knowing stuffs.
ThePhan: I too lie awake at night, tormented by all the stuff I do not know.
Ghost of Sam: There was a January 2004 archive called 'Secrets,' which was a conversation about people's most intimate secrets, such as one Rinkie (by court order, I can't say which) who has a psychological compulsion to French kiss sweet pickle relish, and another who once accidentally broadcast himself dancing to Kung Fu Fighting in his underwear via his webcam, which he thought was turned off.
Ghost of Sam: By posting the archive, 11 Rinkies (ten of whom are sadly no longer regulars here) filed a lawsuit for invasion of privacy.
Kysle: Why sadly?
Ghost of Sam: I loved them all.
wintermute: Sam: Even #8?
Ghost of Sam: Anyway, the case dragged on for four years, during which time there was a temporary injunction against the posting of new archives.
Rafael: That's horrible.
ThePhan: It was a dark, dark time.
Rafael: ThePhan: Good to know I'm not alone.
Ghost of Sam: The one of the 11 that's still around is the Kung Fu Fighting guy.
Ghost of Sam: Kysle: Do you still get down to that song?
Kysle: *aherm*
Kysle has left.
Ghost of Sam: Oh, sorry.
Rafael: ...
Ticia: LOL
ThePhan: I guess he's still a little sensitive.
Rafael: We all do embarrassing stuff.
Rafael: Wait. Was it really Kysle?
Rafael: So eleven rinkies filed for lawsuit, ten left entirely, and one of them is still around as a regular?
Rafael: And you aren't at all upset at this regular for filing a lawsuit?
Ghost of Sam: Right. I only lost three of the lawsuits, though.
Ghost of Sam: The others were fined for frivolous use of the judicial system. Those judgments paid for the ones I owed, so it worked out about evenly.
TalkingDog: That was funny when Athaleon called you a venom-spitting neematoad and had to be dragged out.
* Rafael still can't tell if this is all serious or just a big joke against me.
Ghost of Sam: One of the cases I lost was against WhizKid. He claimed that even though he was not a U.S. citizen and didn't have all the protections offered to citizens, he still suffered extreme and irreparable psychological damage by the posting of the archive, in which I quoted him as saying, under implicit contract of confidentiality, 'I like it when Ticia drools.'
Ticia: Yeah, that was fun, getting that subpoena.
Rafael: I thought WhizKid was a bot program. Like WhizHal or something?
Rafael: How can you lose a lawsuit against a program eh?
Ghost of Sam: Raf: I coded it too well.
Rafael: So this whole lawsuit thing is a joke then?
Rafael: Or just the WhizKid part?
Ghost of Sam: Raf: Yeah, I suppose I can laugh about it now. Pretty harrowing at the time, though.
* Rafael might a'splode.
Ghost of Sam: LOL. Okay, seriously, yeah, all a joke. The real reason there weren't any archives is that I just didn't find the time and energy to post any.
Rafael: ...
Rafael: Now I still can't tell if you are joking or being serious. Even after you said seriously.
Ghost of Sam: Although seemingly only a matter of cutting out a bit of a log file and saving it, I actually did a fair amount of editing to the transcripts. Not to change any content, but to cull out lines unrelated to the conversation, and re-ordering lines so that the flow of conversation is clearer.
Ghost of Sam: So, kind of tedious.
Rafael: Mmm... Now that I'm looking back and reading this, I can't believe I might have fallen for it.
Rafael: There's my embarrassing moment for the day.
