  10Kan: Aww! (16:40:52)
  10Kan: Nice super-short horror film too. (16:41:25)
  * 10Kan was expecting a hand to reach out from under the bed, hit the switch on the power strip, and then a scream. (16:41:54)
  Goosey: hehe (16:44:04)
  Goosey: Sometimes expecting a jumpscare is worse than the jumpscare (16:44:14)
 
JUMP SCARE

  Goosey: O_O (16:45:08)

  Sam: Hello, Ivy. It's been a long time. (16:49:45)
  Sam: Once again, however, you've got all eyes on you. Ah-hahahahaha. (16:50:01)
  Sam: Potato joke there. (16:50:04)
  Goosey: LOL (16:50:07)
  Sam: Almost had a gag there. Joke, that is. (16:50:15)
  Goosey: LOL!! GREAT costume! (16:53:27)
  Goosey: Yay! (16:55:11)

  TalkingDog: hai (16:56:21)
  Nyperold: Hello! (16:56:40)
  Sessie: hai teedee (16:56:44)
  Goosey: Oh yeah -- Sessie doesn't KNOW (16:56:44)
  10Kan: LOL (16:56:49)
  10Kan: Hi TD! (16:56:54)
  Goosey: ... (16:57:03)
  Sessie: LOL (16:57:07)
  Sam: Sessie, you poor thing. (16:57:09)
  Sessie: :( (16:57:14)
  Sam: All this RinkWorks culture that predates you. (16:57:15)
  Sessie: Right?! lol (16:57:23)
  Sam: Crash course: http://www.rinkworks.com/rinkies/ (16:57:24)
  Goosey: Lou: That's a lie. All we did was shake hands, and you wanted $60 for it. (16:57:28)
  * 10Kan hates to leave just as things were starting to get crazy-go-nuts, but he has to prepare for tonight's festivities. Happy All Hallow's Eve, y'all! (16:57:28)
  Goosey: Okay, and for signing my copy of Sinbad. (16:57:46)
  Sessie: Have fun 10K! (16:57:51)
  Goosey: 10K: Bye! Have fun! (16:57:54)
  10Kan: You too! (16:57:58)
  10Kan has left. (16:58:00)
  Nyperold: For the extended course, read UBT transcripts. (16:58:16)
  Sam: Sessie: If you're up for it, read the transcripts for Ultimate Bot Tournaments #3 and #4. (16:58:23)
  Goosey: They are fUNNEEE (16:58:32)
  Sessie: Sam: lol, I've been mostly all through there :D I'm guessing this is harkening back to the Paradise Island bit? (16:58:39)
  Goosey: ... Has there even been a UBT since Sessie joined us? (16:58:50)
  Sessie: No there has NOT! And there should totally be! (16:59:02)
  Sam: Although the bot tournaments were primarily about the games, there was a running pictorial story through each of them that introduced a whole host of RinkChat characters. (16:59:06)
  Sam: Yeah, there really should be. (16:59:12)
  Sam: Yeah, Paradise Island was #4. (16:59:23)
  Sessie: I read that one and it was frickin' AMAZEBALLS (16:59:40)
  Sessie: I need to read #3. And all of the other things. (16:59:53)
  Sessie: so many things (17:00:01)
  Goosey: Yes. and also the resulting novel Sam wrote. (17:00:06)
  Sessie: ACK yes yes I need that too (17:00:21)
  Sam: Ah, cool. Yeah, if you read #4, then you get the idea. #3 was more improvisational, because I didn't know I'd be telling a story. It just happened. (17:01:05)
  Goosey: It's really good. There are a couple of scenes even thinking back on that give me the chills. (17:01:10)
  Sessie: hehe (17:01:12)
  Sam: #5 has skits rather than an overarching story. (17:01:30)
  Sessie: The bot tournament version was awesome to read. (17:01:49)
  Goosey: Hahaha (17:02:15)
  Sessie: NAKERS (17:04:16)
  Goosey: LOL (17:04:17)
  Sam: Let's wait a respectful amount of time and check in with her later. (17:05:12)
  Goosey: hehehe (17:05:32)
  Goosey: "Are you supposed to be a diaper bride?" "Depends." (17:06:56)
  Sam: Sorry. (17:09:12)
  Goosey: Hurry up! (17:09:17)
  Sam: Something tells me I know what she's going to dress up as. (17:09:26)
  Goosey: Yeah, I'm getting the same idea. (17:09:46)
  Goosey: Hahahahahaha (17:10:19)
  Sam: You know, I have no memory of making all these Camou-Fairy costumes. (17:10:32)
  Sam: Apparently theyr'e all from Mini-UBT #2. (17:10:41)
  Goosey: LOL (17:10:42)
  * iwpg wonders what Camou-Fairy is dressing up as.... (17:11:01)
  Goosey: GOOD QUESTION (17:11:44)
  Sam: *flutter* (17:12:53)
  Goosey: Awww (17:12:55)
  [TalkingDog->Goosey] I slept a lot of late, but I had a flying dream. (17:12:56)
  iwpg: LOL (17:12:58)
  [Goosey->TalkingDog] yay flying! (17:13:04)
  Sam: Ha, this is funny. I still dont' remember it. http://www.rinkworks.com/rinkchat/tournaments/transcripts/session_m2.shtml (17:14:10)
  Sam: I should have kept doing skits with the fairies. (17:14:22)
  Nyperold: And then there's Camou-Jaffairy... (17:14:37)
  Goosey: Hahahaha (17:15:11)
  Goosey: "Dinare: what if I don't know any of the games? Sam: Dinare: THere is no possible way to teach you how to do what's about to happen. Just roll with everything." LOL (17:16:41)
  Goosey: I'm remembering this UBT. It was crazy-go-nuts. (17:16:50)
  Sam: hahaha (17:17:59)
  Sam: "I'll give you butterfly kisses with myself." (17:18:09)
  Goosey: LOL (17:18:24)
  Sam: Tacky to laugh at my own joke, maybe, but I dunno that I'm that funny anymore. (17:18:29)
  Goosey: I say if you don't remember saying it you can totally laugh at it. (17:20:05)
  Sentynel: ...so apparently you can now access Facebook as a Tor hidden service. So you can.. anonymously hand over all your personal information to the evil megacorp? I'm not sure they've thought this through. (17:21:39)
  Goosey: lol (17:22:03)
  Sessie: lol, you are all silly. :D (17:23:33)
  Nyperold: I say if you would have laughed at it coming from someone else, it's fine. Especially given the amount of time that's passed. (17:24:19)
  Sam: Ok, I'm gone. Happy Halloween, all! (17:24:56)
  Goosey: Bye! :D (17:25:04)
  LaZorra has entered. (17:25:21)
  Sessie: Bye Sam! BOO! (17:25:25)
  LaZorra: GAH (17:25:25)
  Sentynel: Nice timing. (17:25:35)
  Nyperold: Hello! (17:25:38)
  Goosey: LAZORRA (17:25:39)
  Sessie: Hi LaZ! BOO! (17:25:39)
  * Sam HUGS LaZorra! (17:25:46)
  Sam has left. (17:25:57)

Sisyphysics

Kalimeris: Today I dragged a heavy cart up a hill, and it was relevant to what we're learning in Physics, so I e-mailed my professor about it.
Sentynel: So you did a lot of work?
Goosey: hehe
Kalimeris: I was like "Hi! Today I did this with a heavy cart, and it was great, because now I can complain about it in a more specific manner rather than just being grumpy. Education won today."
Kalimeris: He's a fairly laid back/happy guy so it was okay that I did this.
Kalimeris: I guess I did a lot of work. Maybe in the Physics sense of it?
TalkingDog: If you accidentally let it roll back down, it would be sisyphysics.
Kalimeris: Certainly not in the Help Desk sense of it. Well maybe also in the Help Desk sense of it. Usually I just sit here and stare at the wall, then exorcise demons from the printers when they start acting possessed.
Goosey: TD: LOL
Kalimeris: I almost didn't make it up the hill.
Sentynel: Kali: Yeah, that was the subtle pun. work = force * distance and all that.
TalkingDog: I took a sisyphysics class, but I missed the final and have to retake the whole thing.
Goosey: LOL LOL

iPotato

Randy: Why does my tablet take FOREVER to charge?
Goosey: It hates you.
wintermute: You have it plugged into a potato.
Sessie: It is a potato.
TalkingDog: You are a potato.
Randy: One of those is possibly true.

Productivity

Sam: Worst enemy of productivity. Well, other than just being lazy. It's needing to do something you don't want to do before doing the thing you do want to do (writing), but you don't want to do the thing you don't want to do, so you just do nothing instead, thereby getting neither the thing you don't want to do done nor the thing you do want to do done.
Dave: WELL SAID

Thumping Bass and Charity Claps

(Maryam was complaining about her neighbor's loud thumping music)

Sam: Maryam: Neighbors thumping bass is the worst experience you can have in a first world country.
Sentynel: Thumping tuna is totally okay, though.
Goosey: LOL
Sam: I endured that through college and the housing row we lived in afterward. It made me murderous.
Sam: It's now a major consideration in choosing wherever we move to. If it looks like I might have to endure thumping bass from someone, I don't live there.
Sam: It's not always easy to know, of course.
Sentynel: If I almost never hear thumping bass, does this mean it's mine annoying everyone else?
Sam: Bad memories of when I was in college and being woken up at 4am because the drunk idiots next door had a humongous stereo set up against my wall.
Sam: If I was playing music when they turned that thing on, I stopped being able to hear MY OWN music.
Sentynel: ...wow.
Sentynel: https://xkcd.com/368/
Sam: I can't even stand it now when a car goes by whose occupant is blasting a subwoofer too loud.
Sam: ...Like in that strip.
Sentynel: Precognitively relevant xkcd!
Sam: Precognitive Relevance would be a good name for a band.
Sentynel: Ooh, yes.
Sam: Or a tumblr, before you go and fetch that xkcd comic too.
Sentynel: LOL
Sentynel: Dammit.
Sentynel: I totally was as well.
Sam: Oh, go ahead.
Sentynel: https://xkcd.com/1025/
* Sam claps politely.
Sentynel: Thanks.
Goosey: LOL
