- Well, the backup worked, and we've got the new hard drive in.
- 00:32:37 [AaronSw]

- hey sbp
- 01:01:48 [AaronSw]
- i think my backup plan is working
- 01:01:54 [AaronSw]
- I'm now copying stuff over to the new hd
- 01:02:04 [sbp]
- Hi there. Good, good
- 01:02:33 [AaronSw]
- And now I'm off to see [ a :Act ; :describedBy <http://www.fkb.com/> ] .
- 01:03:10 [sbp]
- The Flying Karamazov Brothers? OOh
- 01:03:30 [AaronSw]
- Yeah, should be fun.
- 01:03:41 [sbp]
- they look quite funny
- 01:04:32 [AaronSw]
- We tried to think of something to bring for them to juggle. So far we've got a grain of rice, wet sand and helium baloons.
- 01:04:54 [sbp]
- custard pies?
- 01:06:17 [AaronSw]
- why custard pies? wouldn't that be rather easy to juggle?
- 01:06:35 [sbp]
- no, because they're difficult to resist throwing at people's faces
- 01:06:45 [AaronSw]
- heh.
- 01:06:52 [sbp]
- buckets of water!
- 01:07:07 [AaronSw]
- Ooh.
- 01:07:33 [sbp]
- that's be an interesting one: they'd have to keep swinging it so that the water sticks to the bottom
- 01:07:42 [AaronSw]
- Yeah...
- 01:07:42 [AaronSw]
- The bet is a pie in the face
- 01:07:50 [AaronSw]
- So we hope not to lose. :)
- 01:07:55 [sbp]
- Eek
- 01:08:03 [sbp]
- bet?
- 01:08:13 [AaronSw]
- yeah... it's sort of a contest.
- 01:08:34 [AaronSw]
- If you find something you can pie them in the face, if not they get to make fun of your or something.
- 01:08:38 [sbp]
- heh: "masters of juggling and cheap theatrics"
- 01:08:50 [AaronSw]
- OK, well better leave -- everyone's piling into the car.
- 01:08:54 [AaronSw]
- c'ya
- 01:08:55 [sbp]
- O.K., have fun!
- 01:08:57 [sbp]

- ah: """The Gamble, where the audience brings whatever objects of whimsy, or of terror, that they think will prove un-jugglable, betting a standing ovation against a pie in the face that it can't be done. The Karamazov audience often comes well prepared for this segment. At past performances, livers, computers, ice cream, Slinkys ª, even bread boxes have been contributed by the crowd.""" - http://www.fkb.com/New/bound.html
