00:01:55 Morbus has quit 00:02:13 SeanP has joined #swhack 00:02:46 sbp has quit 00:02:58 SeanP is now known as sbp 00:03:29 Morbus has joined #swhack 00:03:51 wf 00:04:21 whooo hoo! 00:06:20 stop being so gibliferous! 00:06:25 terrible behaviour 00:06:44 stop spelling words with u in them. 00:06:47 terrible canuck 00:07:32 fine, I won't use^H^H^Htype that letter again 00:07:51 good, good. 00:07:53 for a little while, anyway 00:08:11 why for only a little while? 00:08:29 'till I forget 00:08:53 till sean forgets? that's innane 00:09:05 or somehow slip-down 00:09:25 why not slip forward? probably admirable as well 00:10:02 perhaps it'd be better to prise that specific key from my keyboard? 00:10:26 or easier, at least 00:10:34 it tickles my giggly bone that we can have loads of geekish joy over the implentation (or lack there of) of a single character 00:10:39 slip-forward is good too 00:11:04 yes, it engiggles me too 00:11:57 still trying to find an organizing / to do application. or at least something like omni-inliner with no registration 00:12:04 for this is a very werid thing that we are doing, I hope that kind sir is aware of that fact 00:12:46 well, I'll bet sir is looking for something on the Mac? I can't really help ya there 00:13:06 oh, i chortle with belly aching anxiety over the predicament we have entwined each other in 00:13:14 indeed, i am. 00:14:29 I am also engaging to certain degree in the intoxicating giggling that sir has mentioned 00:15:07 heheh. this conversation sincerely needs framing in a snobbish gallery 00:15:17 I wonder if master Aaron will catch on to the foolish thing that we are doing? 00:16:05 yes, I think it does. It's easier talking snobbishly when ya can't say that character however, so perhaps snobs don't know of that char? 00:16:07 and perchance entertain his fancy at this sortee of mental restraint 00:16:55 * sbp places a piece of tacky material on the key that is the object of the chat, in order that he not inadvertantly type it 00:17:09 perhaps indeed, since the shape of the dastardly bit is an anchor which their nose can be held yonder with 00:17:19 yes, that'd indeed be a fine mental excercise to engage him in 00:17:35 what the feckle is thee talking of now? 00:18:09 * Morbus carries on a conversation with someone else, with the damned letter ewe, in an attempt to stress his dendrites to their max. 00:18:19 remove the mapping of the key 00:18:30 ah! a new player! 00:18:53 how does one do that, deltab? 00:19:06 what OS? 00:19:08 patti has joined #swhack 00:19:09 yes, a new player! I'll bet that he doesn't stay for all that long... 00:19:15 OS: WinMe 00:19:16 welcome, patti. 00:19:18 Hi Patti 00:19:26 an entrancer i have invited to our delectable entertainment. 00:19:35 ack! 00:19:46 heh 00:19:50 * patti giggles. 00:19:52 yea, we are veritably filling with people on which to project this foolish game 00:20:15 damn that patti! she has absconded my win and allowed my opponents victory! 00:20:40 i shall now try harder. choose another letter, participants! 00:20:56 i shall attempt two letters, in a name that song sort of onedownmanship 00:20:59 forsooth, mine self cannot percieve how this is so. can sir elaborate 'pon sir's exclamation? 00:21:29 * sbp wonders if the apostrophe's are cheating... I think that it's O.K. if they're well known abbreviations 00:21:36 s/'// 00:21:53 another letter... Hmm... 00:22:03 ah, but apostraphe's would be innane if 'sed in s'ch obsc're constr'cts 00:22:10 a consonant this time, perhaps? 00:22:14 as my meaning becomes clear. 00:22:31 nay, i am not a stargazer! heathen! ;) 00:22:56 a consonant shall prove a worthy challenge 00:23:29 yes; however, one can easily verify if abbreviages are valid by researching the abbreviation in a dictionary, perhaps? or a book of poetry 00:23:45 what consonant doth sir wish to choose? or do I have that choice? 00:23:50 a book of poetry! all words become abbreviated there! 00:24:14 the mightiest sbp has said choice. 00:24:30 indeed, poetry instills iambic joy within my being 00:24:39 yeah, that's a good point. However, a well-known book of poetry with less abbreviations may be of benefit to the game? 00:25:01 don't talk to me of iambic joy... damn iambic deeleys 00:25:13 what common reference can be discovered? 00:25:19 i had a crossword mindgame book that solved the grids of empty boxes for the pencil holder 00:25:44 ah, I can still say "deeleys". And Homer? Yes! Homer J. Simpson. Ah great, the letter that we are avioding is no terrible drawback to me 00:26:15 common reference: I have no idea whatsoever. We may start to wish that we had planned this game ahead a little better 00:26:25 sean, patti needs to know, is a simpson fan of masterful caliber 00:26:44 ah, planning for a game destroys the spontaniety 00:26:49 pardon me? 00:27:13 planning: yes, I totally agree. We'll ban apostrophes and be done with it 00:27:16 doth stink, patti! how dare! 00:27:31 and apostrophes in normal dictionary-like abbreviations? 00:27:48 they too shall be forbidden by consensed law 00:27:52 ban non alphabetic bits in general and intention becomes weird. 00:28:10 this reminds me of a game entitled nomic 00:28:14 anyone heard of it 00:28:21 yes 00:28:24 i object to lack of apostrophes 00:28:24 nope. pointer? 00:28:32 deltab, that does not shock me 00:28:38 have you played 00:28:52 the creator of the game is an amphetadesk enjoyer :) 00:28:52 * sbp goes searching for some songs 00:29:06 and plays at the same time... I'm like that, y'see 00:29:11 ooh, an apostrophe! 00:29:18 http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/nomic.htm 00:29:49 and comma and exclamation 00:29:49 aaaaaaah! thee has employed the forbidden character in thine evil Web address 00:30:02 morby: oi, no: http://159.28.1.1/~peters/nomic.htm 00:30:24 but one can't enforce the metrics of a game on a nonpresent player 00:30:27 yes, deltab gets into the spirit of it, and morby receives a -1 00:30:33 hehe 00:31:02 ah, however, sir is the player, and sir may choose the Web address 00:31:37 indeed, how did deltab find the ip? perhaps with a lookup command? or a tracing of the hops? 00:31:42 might have mirrored the page on own site 00:31:59 sigh. i am horrific at this 00:32:15 i think patti is bad mojo. 00:32:25 she stared my descent 00:32:28 started rather 00:32:28 lol, yeah, probably 00:32:30 * patti is _good_ mojo. 00:32:43 well, i stared at something... 00:32:49 Mr. Mojo Risin' 00:33:10 patti is trying to convince herself of worthiness 00:33:10 and what did patti stare at? 00:33:26 Morbus is now known as Morby 00:33:33 i have been cheating this entire time! 00:33:42 Morby is now known as Morbii 00:33:49 morby loses since the character is in his nick. 00:33:51 I'm starting to wonder what y'all talking... yes!

A delecatble frenzy of effervecent joy indeed! It doth beshine itself into the memory of all who gaze on its wonder and glory, for it is an excellent bird!
