AbisMal has arrived. "OK, make way! Stone-hearted ex-thief comin' through!" That gruff voice can only one thing: AbisMal is in the room. Ariel enters from Main Street. Ariel has arrived. AbisMal says, "Hello... :)" Ariel exclaims, "Hi there people!" Max has arrived. Max arrives, riding a skateboard. He does a complicated maneuver, and dismounts, doing a double backflip in the process. Darkwing nods. Ariel says, "Before you start loggin, I'd just like to say . . " Duck has arrived. A deliveryperson pulls up, drops a package in your lap, and speeds off. You excitedly rip it open and find that someone has sent you...DUCK! Darkwing is already logging. Too late. ;) Plushy enters from Main Street. Plushy has arrived. Duck wants to find out about Ariel...so I'll know who she is when I stay with her. :) Ariel says, "Then I guess I won't say. :)" Plushy huggles Grimsby has arrived. Grimsby stumbles into the room looking tired and disheveled. "I had a little trouble with the fireplace," he mutters as he looks for a place to rest. Ariel feels the heat of the spotlight. Grimsby exclaims, "booooyah!" Morgana has arrived. Morgana McCawbre suddenly materializes before you, accompanied by her pet bats, Eek and Squeek, and Archie the Spider. Grimsby asks, "is this one of those events where we have to be all solemn and quiet and whisper? :)" Darkwing quacks, "Right, then the show is officially begun, and this week's guest is Princess Ariel. And yes, Grimsby, so hush. :)" Darkwing quacks, "An anonymous ex-con asks when the r.a.d archive will return." Grimsby says, "I don't think I can hack that though :/" Ariel says, "Well, I have to get around the Monash University copyright ban, but I have a plan, which should make it return bigger and brighter than ever." Ariel says, "I just have to code it all and get volunteers to keep information off-site." Darkwing nods. Grimsby says, "mmmppph :)" Ariel grants Grimsby special dispensation to make irrelevant remarks from the floor. Duck laughs! AbisMal says, "I volunteer my scripts. :)" Plushy smiles Ariel says, "Yes, thank you, AbisMal, contributions are still very welcome." Grimsby lies on the floor Max thinks he'll eventually have an official Goof Troop/Goofy Movie Page to keep his script on. Grimsby exclaims, "my back is cold!" Oliver sings, "From the end of the world to your screen." while coming to visit. Oliver has arrived. Darkwing quacks, "Next question?" Aquata has arrived. A foam-crested waves sweeps in toward you, depositing Aquata gently beside you before receding again, leaving no trace of its existence but the mermaid now in your midst. Aquata waves. Ariel waits patiently for the personal probing questions. :) Grimsby says, "hi" AbisMal the Stone-Hearted draws his sword and bows, deeply, to his Queen/patroness. He then awaits permission to rise. Aquata nods her permission to Abis and hugs everyone. Max grins at Aquata. Ariel waves to her sister from the podium. (Or is that a finium?) AbisMal waits for others' questions before asking another... Darkwing quacks, "No, it's a pseudopodium." Ariel hopes someone is typing furiously here . . Ariel worries that everyone already "knows" her. :) Duck hugs the poor princess. Grimsby asks, "wait... who the heck are you?" AbisMal asks, "Hello? Anybody here?" Darkwing quacks, "Grimsby wants to know how you feel about fruit." Max just asked a question. Plushy wants to know how she feels about seagulls. :) Ariel says, "Well, I feel rather ambivalent towards fruit, really. . ." Max says, "Yeah...I feel that way about apathy, myself." Ariel says, "I feel that it is anyone's right to, for instance, eat it, but just don't expect it of me." Aquata assumes this is Get to Know? Duck nods at Aquata. :) Darkwing nods at Aquata. Si has arrived. You hear the whisper of bare feet against the floor, and the soft swish of her skirt against her legs as she enters. Darkwing quacks, "Max asks whether you're working on a new set of base code for the MUCK." Si waves hello. Ariel thinks it's more a case of Get To Stand Around Idling. Duck waves to Si. AbisMal does his best not to notice Si's entrance... Max giggles at Ariel. Aquata grins at sis. It was the same when I did Get to Know. It's no good if everyone already knows you. Ariel says, "I'm glad you asked, Max. Yes, there is a new version of the base code in production; it's mostly based on FuzzBall. Powerline is doing most of the work on it." Duck oooohs! Cool. :) AbisMal blinks. "Didn't know he was a MU*-writer." Max cheers for Powerline! Ariel exclaims, "So if there are any requests for the next release, let me know!" Duck says, "More ducks, Ariel!" Si cocks her head, "Why not just use FB?" Ariel says, "Powerline's very talented." Fleebo has arrived. You hear the Cat's theme from Peter and the Wolf. That can mean only one thing... Fleebo is playing her clarinet. Darkwing notes that the base code is written in C, not MUF. Anyhow... Duck hugshugs Fleebo! AbisMal says, "Hiya, Fleebs." Si grrs. I have a request... less lag! <:) Darkwing quacks, "Excuse me while I collect backlogged questions." Fleebo hugs everyone! Si waves hi to Fleebo. Plushy grins Ariel says, "Si, the upgrade might help that a little." Si pokes her connection. "I think it's my ISP... eh, I'S'P." Darkwing quacks, "Duck: How did you first get on the net and discover r.a.d and FDC?" Si gets one word (pause) at a (big pause) time... Ariel says, "That was about in 1992 . . . ancient history." Duck grins. I remember seeing your name on posts on r.a.d. when I was a newbie to Usenet. :) Ariel says, "I first found rec.arts.disney on Usenet, and instantly fell in love with it. All these people who liked what I liked. It was neat." Ariel says, "All those long discussions with Robert Cook and Tom Tanida and all the other names you don't see these days." Fleebo remembers seeing her name as a moderator on rad.announce, too. Duck says, "Wow...Robert Cook. A name from the past." Ariel says, "As for the FDC . . . I was one of the original members of it. I think I was Keeper of the Bucket among other things." AbisMal asks, "And you were Adella back then, right?" Duck oooohs....Anyone remember Denise "Abu" Lockner? She used to like to throw a few flames around, if I remember right. Ariel says, "As a matter of fact, I was the one who started thw whole bucket thing." Ariel remembers Denise, yep! Si has disconnected. Aquata vaguely remembers. Darkwing blinks. *You* invented the sploosh? Fleebo thinks that Ariel deserves an almighty splooshing right now for that. Who's with me? :) Toby enters from Main Street. Toby has arrived. Duck drops First Water Wars Post. Darkwing aims his Super Soaker 2112 at Ariel, pulls the trigger, and... a bunch of guys in white robes jump out of nowhere and sploosh her! Thoroughly bewildered, she looks up just in time to see them dashing off. Oliver grins, "Yer talking to a famous fishy. ;)" > look post This is the first Water Wars message on rec.arts.disney!

SPLASH!!!.....;-) I couldn't have put it better myself. (Actually, I lie: I would have put an R in "AGGHH".) Let that be a lesson to you. . . Tim. Duck says, "Here's the First Post. :)" Ariel says, "Uh huh. I threatened Amberle Ferrian with a bucket of water. She followed up just afetr it had virtually been thrown." Ariel points to the article. Fleebo laughs a great deal at the First Post! Max says, "Leave it to duck to have things right at hand." Duck grins. It's in the Museum permanently. :) Darkwing has looked at it, so it'll be in the log. Ariel says, "Of course, nowadays, neither of the two participants exist per se." AbisMal grins. Darkwing quacks, "Grimsby: Favorite TV shows / movies?" Plushy smiles Ariel asks, "Grimsby, you just want me to say TLM, don't you?" AbisMal can guess on the movie... :) Aquata grins. Morgana grins. Grimsby says, "no, I know that :)" Darkwing exercises creative license as guest host and asks what Ariel's favorite non-Disney TV shows / movies are. Ariel exclaims, "As for other movies . . . I don't watch many, but the ones I typically like are feel-good movies - and Disney's good at that!" Ariel detests horror and doesn't watch many Thrillers either. Fleebo nods approvingly. :) AbisMal says, "For some reason, I can see Ariel in a Firday the 13th flick... :)" Duck laughs! Ariel says, "TV - the show that I make sure I don't miss these days is Babylon 5." AbisMal says, "As...the last survivor, of course. :)" Grimsby says, "ah" Duck can see it now....Friday the 13th Part XIV--Ariel Visits the Fish Market! AbisMal laughs out loud! Ariel says, "I am a trekkie, but not a serious one. I watch a few other shows (Simpsons, several documentary series), but I don't watch the X-Files, which always surprises my friends." Fleebo shudders.. AbisMal notices Aquata looking at him seriously...and stops laughing immediately. Aquata was doing nothing of the sort, Abis. But now that you mention it... ;> Ariel says, "When I was younger, I was very impressed by a cartoon serial, The Mysterious Cities of Gold. That explains where I got the screen-name of "quetzal" from that you say in that article Duck has." AbisMal says, "Sorry,...your Majesty..." Darkwing quacks, "Oliver: Why is the sky blue?" Fleebo remembers that one, Ariel! Vaguely. AbisMal says, "I arleady asked her on my radio show about fire... :)" Ariel says, "Well, Oliver, that's because the air is mostly nitrogen (N2) and oxygen (O2). These molecules are roughly the same size as the wavelength of blue light, so the blue light is scattered more than the other colours." Ariel says, "As you can see, I'm an avid follower of popular science." Oliver says, "Cool. :)" AbisMal asks, "Wow! You learn a LOT from those human books, don'tcha?" Darkwing quacks, "Aquata: What's your favorite dress?" Ariel exclaims, "Ha! That's like asking a chocoholic what her favourite centre is." Duck guesses the color. :) Max thought that was the case with *any* transparent gas or liquid, since blue gets bent more than other colors. Fleebo grins.... well, it might even be her wedding gown, Duck, you never know. Duck says, "Wedding gowns come in various colors. :)" Ariel says, "The one that means the most to me is the first one which I ever owned, a replica of the blue Ariel dress. It doesn't fit me now. :(" AbisMal says, "Not when the BRIDE wears it." Fleebo laughs! But we've all seen her movie... she was very traditional! Ariel says, "But I have so many now that I can't really even think of them all to pick a favourite." Duck says, "But our Ariel isn't. :)" Aquata awws at sis. AbisMal says, "I prefer the shells and fin look, but that's just me, I guess." Fleebo laughs at AbisMal. Darkwing quacks, "AbisMal: How long have you wanted to be a mermaid, or at least play one?" Ariel says, "Hey, if I could do the shell and fin look in real life, I'd jump at it. :) Which leads to the net question, I see." I'm not a mermaid, but I play one on TV. AbisMal says, "That's an OOC question, in case you didn't figure it out." Ariel says, "I've always had a fascination with mermaids, but I never told anyone for years. I only really came out into the open about that when I started posting to r.a.d. I do keep track of scientific advances in that field, not so much because I thi AbisMal asks, "You think science can actually CREATE mermaids?" Ariel isn't *quite* as fanatic as some people in that regard . . Ariel asks, "Can science create one? Certainly. But not with our technological ability." AbisMal smirks in spite of himself. Ariel says, "I did a pseudo-scientific analysis of the possibility - it can work, but there are a lot of troubles to overcome first, and mermaids would have to be created; they'd never have evolved." Darkwing quacks, "Morgana: Who is your favorite Babylon 5 character?" Grimsby says, "well, if llamas evolved..." Ariel says, "I'm only up to nearly the end of season 3 here, so going by what I've seen so far . . . hmm. Tough question . . " Ariel says, "I think I like Vir the best. He has the personality that I can identify with mostly. But Ivanova gets *all* the good lines." Fleebo may have arrived late, but today she has to leave early too.... catch you later, folks! Darkwing quacks, "Duck: What classes do you teach?" AbisMal says, "C ya, Fleebs." Fleebo hughugs everyone especially the mermaid of the moment. :) Later! Fleebo hears a whisper on the breeze that is calling her home... Fleebo has left. Duck hugs Fleebo! Ariel says, "Presently the only thing that I lecture is stuff related to computer architecture. It's a first-year subject." Darkwing thinks that exhausts the queue - if I missed your question, please re-send it. Duck asks, "Do your students know they are being taught by a princess and a wizard?" Ariel says, "We use the MIPS computer architecture, which is what several computers such as DECstations and such. . ." Ariel says, "Um . . . well, they might guess the princess bit. :)" Duck grins! AbisMal chuckles. Ariel says, "I don't really talk about the Muck to others, since MU*ing is strictly no-no'd at university." Grimsby says, "we used MIPS in my comp arch. class too :)" Max would have guessed a higher rank, but he doesn't want to get fwapped. Max ducks. AbisMal says, "Prolly wouldn't guess they're taught by a mermaid, though. :)" Ariel @boots Max. Max giggles. Ariel grins. "Most people seem to know about me and mermaids now though." AbisMal waits for DW to ask his question... Ariel tries to find a way to put Ariel references into her lecture slides next time. Duck laughs! I used to put FDC references into some of my radio commercials. :) Ariel nods at Duck - she's heard some of those! Shani has arrived. Duck just remembers that! :) Duck welcomes Shani. :) Ariel still remembers the Duck-spoken '*slap* *aaaa*' Shani wavies to everyone Duck laughs. And the WAAAAK in one of them. :) Darkwing quacks, "AbisMal: How far are you in becoming what you want to be?" Shani brb Shani has left. Ariel says, "That's a tough question to find a suitable answer for, but I'll try.." Ariel says, "I feel that the biggest psychological hurdle has been passed now, but I'd be lying if I didn't say that the tough bits are yet to come." AbisMal nods. Ariel says, "One thing I know for sure, the support of this Muck helped me through some very troubled times." AbisMal says, "Awwwwwwwwwwwwwww..." Ariel says, "For that I'll always be thankful to all of you." Max grins. Duck hugs Ariel. Ariel says, "I've never known a more loving, caring, community." Ariel says, "Ok . . that's enough mush. Thanks for the question, Chris." AbisMal hugs Ariel TIGHT! Duck quotes Ariel for a future FDCMuck ad. Ariel would hug you all, but she's up on the pseudopodium. Darkwing quacks, "Aquata: If you were a tree, what kind would you be?" Duck rotfl Oliver smiles. Aquata grins. I had to. :> AbisMal laughs! Duck says, "Aquata Walters Show...I like it!" AbisMal says, "Aquata WATERS, y'mean. :)" Duck laughs! Aquata groans. Oh, that's awful. :> Ariel says, "Definitely a eucalypt. My roots are firmly in this country, and even though I complain about it sometimes, I still call Australia home." Duck says, "Which means it's perfect. :)" Duck cheers for eucalyptus trees and is determined to start growing them in Alabama. Grimsby says, "I like the Douglas Fir" Aquata ooo, good answer. Very poetic. Aquata says, "NONONONONONONONO, Duckums." Duck asks, "Why not?" Aquata says, "They're a HUGE fire hazard outside their native habitat." Ariel grins. "My kind is invading you all!" Duck will gladly trade, um, this lovely kudzu for eucalyptus. Ariel asks, "Whaddaya mean outside? Ever seen a wildfire through Eucalypts?" Aquata says, "The reason the Oakland-Berkeley hills fire was so awful is allt he eucalyptus." Duck sends presents of kudzu cuttings to everyone. AbisMal yawns. "Nice probing as far into youa as I could without being sued, Princess, but I gotta go. :)" Toby Yiiiips, "not to mention they are oversized weeds!" AbisMal the Stone-Hearted bows in respect to the TRUE Little Mermaid... smiling ear-to-ear. AbisMal the Stone-Hearted draws his sword and bows, deeply, to his Queen/patroness. He then awaits permission to rise. Aquata says, "Goodnight, Abis." Duck says, "Yes, but eucalyptus are beautiful. I like watching the thin leaves flutter i the breeze." Ariel says, "Face it Duck, you just want to live here. :)" Duck says, "They're like...weird weeping willow trees. :)" Aquata asks, "Not to mention the stoned koalas in the trees, huh? ;>" AbisMal yells, "Duh! He never really left. :)" Toby barks, "Yes, Duck, they are beatiful, but have this tendency to take over/kill other tress in the area" Duck will take his squirrels...But I'll trade our opossums for possums. :) "Sorry, folks...gotta business to run, y'know." AbisMal waves to all as he leaves the room. AbisMal has left. Ariel wants squirrels! Duck grins at Toby. You've never seen kudzu apparently. :) Darkwing quacks, "Squirrels bite." Ariel exclaims, "But they're so cuuute!" Plushy saw lotsa squirrels Ariel is jealous. Duck remembers watching some visiting Kiwis chase squirrels at Tink's wedding. Ariel believes it. Duck should take Fleebo and Maurice to the University of Alabama campus. Squirrel city. Toby walks to GG park, finds a pair of squirels. Boxes them carefuly with lots of food, water and airholes, then mails them to Ariel Ariel says, "Within 3 years they have taken over the country. :)" Duck watches Australian customs throw them into the bottomless pit where they threw the can of spam. Grimsby says, "ouch, those 3D colored glasses gave me a huge headache" Oliver hates the squirrels in his backyard! They throw acorns at him! Toby laughs Duck sends everyone some Spanish moss to complete the Southern parasite collection. Plushy giggles Darkwing quacks, "Grimsby: What is your favorite alcoholic beverage or other mind-altering substance?" Duck exports fire ants too. Aquata wonders what's the big deal with squirrels? Ariel says, "chocolate." Aquata asks, "Do they not have them in Oz?" Duck says, "They don't have any in Australia." Duck says, "No chipmunks, no nothing like that." Plushy says, "There are *some* squirrels here..." Max likes the Dr. Dimento song about squirrels. Aquata ahhs. Well, let's export some! Maybe they'll take over just like the rabbits! :P Plushy has seen them at the golf course in Perth Ariel says, "I don't drink alcohol; not for any reason except that I don't like the taste of it." Grimsby has disconnected. Duck WOWS! Someone else who doesn't drink alcohol for that reason! I thought I was the only one on earth. Aquata agrees with sis on the alcohol/chocolate issue. Aquata says, "Nope, Duckums, me too." Plushy asks, "What about alcoholic chocolate?" Duck says, "THREE of us! Wow, let's form a club. :)" Aquata says, "And the TigerKitty." Ariel says, "But chocolate is just perfect - sweet, flavourful, fattening . . ." Duck says, "Our numbers continue to grow!" Aquata grins. We are legion, duckums. ;> Duck drools over Ariel's last statement...I need Tim Tams. Ariel says, "and I seem to be the Muck's supply of Tim Tams (well, me and Fleebo)." Duck grins at Aquata. I don't mind the occasional sip, but most of it to me tastes rather disgusting. Duck says, "And the Australian Catalogue Company. :)" Duck says, "Though they still don't sell the hazelnut kind....which is fast becoming my favorite." Ariel says, "And I hate to say it, but most American mass-produced chocolate isn't very good." Plushy agrees Ariel says, "Seems that Australians know how to make sweet snacks, and Americans know how to make salty ones." Max sticks his tongue out at Duck. "Ariel is sending me a box." Plushy says, "Their icecream is good, thought. :)" Duck grins at Max. I have several supply channels. :) Ariel has it at home, Max, she just has to find a post office. Duck sends Plushy Blue Bell ice cream. Max hands Ariel a map of the city. Plushy wants Ben and Jerry's, or Dreyers... Max exclaims, "Haagen Daaz!" Duck says, "Blue Bell is from Texas, they own Alabama now, and their stuff is killer." Plushy says, "Yeah, we don't even have that. :P" Darkwing quacks, "Brenham, Texas, specifically." Duck nodsnods. Oooh, let's visit the factory and see if we can get samples. :) Duck thinks they now have a factory near here, Darkwing...In Sylacauga, I think. Darkwing quacks loudly, "Ice-cream-filled Tim Tams!" Duck OOOOHS! Ariel wants Duck's Tim Tam Cheesecake recipe! Plushy says, "Cookies and cream ice-cream made with Tim Tams. :)" Max blinks at Darkwing. "They have such things?" Aquata eeps, Tim Tam Cheesecake? Darkwing quacks, "No, but I ate Tim Tams and ice cream together at least once." Duck says, "It's coming to muck very soon...It's a hybrid of two recipes and then a few changes of my own, so it's a lot to type in." Ariel will try and make one for her first birthday party this May. Duck says, "Plushy, I've already proposed the idea of Tim Tam ice cream to some people with an ice-cream maker, and we will hopefully be trying it soon. :)" Plushy exclaims, "Cool! :)" Duck says, "Now that I've got them hooked on Tim Tams and TT cheesecake. :)" Grimsby has connected. Plushy has an amazing potato and peanut cake recipe his SO made Grimsby says, "grrrrrrr" Aquata blinks. Potato and peanut? Duck says, "Now that sounds interesting." Darkwing saw a recipe for vinegar pie once, but misplaced the book years ago. Max makes the world's best egg nog, but... Plushy cringes RL - vinegar pie?? Ariel watches GTK become a free-for-all. :) Duck grins. :) Grimsby says, "sorry, I said I wouldn't be able to hack being quiet and on topic :)" Ariel says, "Hey, I'm not complaining. The topic is pretty appetising." Darkwing quacks, "And long-running." Duck makes sure to visit an Aussie supermarket with Ariel this October. We probably won't be leaving the snack food aisle, though. Ariel laughs. Duck must also try pavlova and lamingtons. Grimsby asks, "what do you think I should have for dinner?" Ariel says, "When Tina visited from Canada we went straight for the junk food section." Plushy goot absolutely hooked on sushi while over there. :) Ariel says, "Pavlova's overrated." Ariel exclaims, "Plushy!!" Duck says, "Uh oh...." Darkwing quacks, "What have I got in my pocket?" Duck says, "Get ready for Water War III to break out!" Grimsby asks, "oh, you're back home Plushy?" Plushy says, "Sushi means "on rice" - not necessarily fish, Ariel..." Ariel says, "Well . . ok . . " Plushy smiles Plushy is vegetarian still. Plushy says, "Yeah, Grim. :/" Max prefers sashimi, anyway. Grimsby asks, "that sucks, how did we manage never to meet up? :(" Ariel guesses then she ate beef curry sushi yesterday. Plushy shrugs. I was only down near LA once... Aquata contemplates whapping Max over the sashimi thing. ;> Plushy laughs Grimsby nods, and then I was up near SF :) Plushy asks, "Was it wrapped in seaweed, though? :)" Aquata says, "Sushi doesn't have to be wrapped in seaweed either, Richard. :>" Plushy nods, often is, though Grimsby asks, "what are the requirements? :)" Toby barks, "1) small pieces, 2) large prices" Plushy says, "Japanese seems to be a very non-specific language to me." Max giggles at Aquata. Aquata says, "Sticky rice with vinegar and sugar, from what I can tell, Corey." Darkwing has had sushi a few times. Not bad, but not worth huge prices either. Aquata makes sushi. Plushy says, "I dunno, I would get about 6 rolls for $2.50" Morgana thought it depended upon the way it was fixed-- as in what types of spices and things went in it. Grimsby says, "there's a place here that does all you can eat for $20 on saturday night" Grimsby says, "and you can get bottomless sake for another several bucks :)" Toby barks, "I't not a sake fan" Morgana remembers having sushi and Bengal BBQ'd chicken, shrimp, and beef at Penny's house. :) Duck mmmmms...barbecue. Grimsby says, "its better than whiskey anyway :)" Darkwing quacks, "Sounds good. I'd go but Rebecca hates seafood *and* alcohol." Oliver gets off the phone... Duck mmmmmms...seafood....Gulf shrimp. Ariel thinks we should start a discussion group - people who don't like the taste of alcohol. :) Toby enquires, "Ever eaten at one of the Bubba Gump restaurants?" Darkwing quacks, "Yeah, why doesn't DL have Bengal BBQ shrimp? Even their chicken is only mildly spicy. :)" Duck laughs! Darkwing blinks at Toby. At one of the *what*? Duck says, "alt.alcohol.bleah.bleah.bleah." Morgana giggles. Plushy doesn't mind the taste of alcohol generally - just can't take very much of it, so I don't... Duck says, "Nope, Toby. We don't have those, and the story was set in Bayou La Batre, Alabama. :)" Toby nods. Aparently there is a chain. One is located at Pier 39 in SF Morgana doesn't like the taste of beer. I love margaritas, though. Grimsby says, "well, there's never been an alcoholic baverage that tasted better than an equivalent non-alcoholic one, thats not the motivation though" Darkwing hands Morg a bottle of Killian's Red. Duck was lol in that movie when Forrest played for the University of Alabama. Only one short little clip was actually filmed there, and it was in the old film of George Wallace standing in the schoolhouse door. Grimsby says, "I actually am starting to sort of like beer now, at least after the first one" Grimsby says, "they Filmed a lot of Gump on the USC campus" Grimsby says, "I was there :)" Duck nods. That's probably what stood in for my college. :) Morgana still thinks the idea of drinking something that you have to *acquire* a taste for is rather odd. :) Grimsby says, "our dorm got taken over" Darkwing shrugs at Morg. I had to acquire a taste for soft drinks. Grimsby asks, "well, did you like broccoli the first time you ate it?" Duck hugs all. I must go. Grimsby says, "its like, ugh, I just ate a bland tastless plant" Duck has Coke in his veins. We're born like that here. :) Morgana doesn't remember, Grims... but that's different. Broccoli won't hurt you. ;) Duck now will never look at veggies the same way again, Grimsby. :) Morgana giggles. Piglet has arrived. Hup, two, three, four ... Piggy marches in. Duck hugs again. You hear odd music, and a conga line dances through the room. Duck jumps up, joins the end, and boogies right out the door! Duck has left. Piglet wonders what's going on in here. Aquata should call her SO before he starts getting sleepy. Morgana says, "GTK is breaking up." Plushy says, "The engines canna take it." Grimsby says, "remember, it was in the ground for months, in the dirt, bugs crawled all over it" Grimsby lags Aquata grins at Plushy. Piglet questions, "Ah. That would explain everyone here. WHo was the guest, since I've missed it?" Toby eeps at the time O'Toby pulls out a memo from the Department of HUG. Said memo demands that *no* IDs be checked. O'Toby proceeds to hug PiggyWiggy. Her Mermaid Majesty gives Piglet, Toby, Oliver, Morgana, Grimsby, Plushy, Max, Ariel, and Darkwing a round of snuggles and warm (kelp-free, people. :>) chocolate chip cookies! There, isn't that better now? Grimsby doesn't eat that many things that are green Morgana points at the youngest fishbutt. Darkwing quacks, "Ariel. And we've been talking about food and drink for the past 15-30 minutes, so don't worry about it." Lady Morgana hugs Her Mermaid Majesty with all her might... Her Mermaid Majesty is turning blue now! Piglet yums. "Any food left?" Aquata says, "It's been fun. :> See you all later. Ciao, baby sister." OliKitty hugs Piglet, Toby, Aquata, Morgana, Grimsby, Plushy, Max, Ariel, and Darkwing! OliKitty hugs Her Mermaid Majesty! Her Mermaid Majesty hears a whisper on the breeze that is calling her home... Aquata has left. Darkwing quacks, "Hurry up and get your Bengal BBQ shrimp, with Tim Tams and ice cream for dessert." Piglet stomps on everyone else's feet. me first! :9 Ariel says, "I gotta go too, people. Thanks for a fun Get To Know." Grimsby says, "so I was in a movie drinking tequila through a licorice straw, and the idiot behind me told the usher." Grimsby exclaims, "ok, byebye!" Lady Morgana hugs Ariel with all her might... Ariel is turning blue now! Ariel hugs you all. "So long, people, I love you all!" OliKitty hugs Ariel! Grimsby says, "who is so uptight that they have to tell on someone who snuck in a better beverage :)" Ariel hears a whisper on the breeze that is calling her home... Ariel has left. Piglet grins and knows some friends who are notorious for bring in their own beverages. Darkwing hrms. Shall we keep the log running anyway? Grimsby says, "its like when people call in to Disney Legal to report Day Cares that paint Ariel on the wall, dont' they have anything better to do" Morgana doesn't think we're getting to know Ariel anymore. :) Plushy smiles Piglet grumps and really shoudl remember when these things are more often. Grimsby says, "so who's the guest next week" Morgana giggles at Piggy. "Immediately after Abis' Trivia Tourney. Toby waves bye O'Toby hears a whisper on the breeze that is calling him home... Toby has left. Grimsby says, "my word, its 8:30 and I have no work done :/ gotta go" Grimsby hugs Grimsby has disconnected. Lady Morgana hugs Corey with all her might... Corey is turning blue now! Plushy hughugs Plushy says, "D'oh" Morgana laughs. Piglet mmrms? from the middle of a good book. Morgana munches on her Taco salad. Oliver says, "Yum!" Piglet questions, "Morg, you read Anne McCaffrey's The Rowan? I think you'd like it." Darkwing muses on what would make a good followup to that (nuked0 chicken fettucine. Piglet eeps! Guess who's been web coding. Morgana shakes her head at Piggy. "I haven't read any of her books except the Pern ones. Darkwing quacks, "I *scared* Djali by quoting this e-mail header..." Darkwing quacks, "X-This-is-not-HTML: " Morgana laughs at Piggy... You know, I didn't even *notice* your HTML there. Max giggles. Piglet baps DW for scaring her fav goatie. Piglet says, "I haven't read any of her Pern books yet, and I grabbed this one from another series to read first. About a telepath/telekenetic young girl. SF/Fantasy. Nifty." Morgana nods. I've seen them ( I think it's a series, but I'm not positive) but I haven't had a chance to read it yet. Morgana just finished the last Pern book yesterday. Piglet says, "Yeah, it is ... but I can't recall the other book titles." Morgana is now reading about 4 different books. =-P Piglet is inhaling this one ... started it a couple hours ago, mostly through it now. *Very* good. Morgana laughs at the range of books she's reading... a Highlander novel, a novel about an Irish Bard, a Babylon 5 novel, and a historical account of ancient celtic religions. Morgana says, "and an HTML book." Piglet has disconnected. Morgana eeps. I didn't mean to scare her off. =-P Darkwing quacks, "Of course you didn't." Piglet has connected. Morgana rewaves at Piggy. Piglet sighs and wonders what she has done to anger her Almighty Server. Piglet says, "I got the first line: a Highlander novel ... %%%Disconnected b/c your server hates you%%%" Morgana laughs. Piglet grins. Morgana laughs at the range of books she's reading... a Highlander novel, a novel about an Irish Bard, a Babylon 5 novel, and a historical account of ancient celtic religions.... and an HTML book. :) Morgana waits to see if Piggy disconnects again. :) DisNut has arrived. You see a flash of light, and suddenly.... there she appears in her Disney emsemble..... topping it all off with her Mouseketeer hat with "DisNut" sewn on the back, of course........ It's DISNUT! Piglet laaaaags. DisNut waves... "Hey, guys." Penny has arrived. Penny has arrived! Everyone party! DisNut smirks. DisNut says, "Hey, Penny." Lady Morgana looks around the room, then sweeps Penny into a big huggle. "How's about another joy ride, Louise?" :) Piglet questions, "The ancient celtic religions sounds interesting. And reminds me of a dream I had ... And whatcha learnin from the html book?" Penny asks, "what's up?" Morgana grins. "HTML." DisNut says, "Ooh... the fun stuff." Morgana has been learning how to use tables... just basics so far. DisNut nods... "If you need help, lemme know.... Heck.. you taught me Unix!" DisNut laughs. Morgana grins. DisNut is taking a Unix class in the summer! Yay! Penny sets a table for Morgana to teach her proper etiquette. Piglet ikkks at tables, but hasn't really found an editor she likes so I still do them by hand. Morgana is very proud of what she's been able to do so far. Morgana nods at Piglet. I do all of my coding by hand. Darkwing quacks, "That makes three of us." DisNut says, "I don't like editors... =P For one, they're too much of a pain, and two, I feel like I'm cheating. It's a lot faster for me just to know the tags and type it all by hand." Morgana grins at Penny. "The fork goes on this side, and the knife on this side..." DisNut laughs... Penny thinks whatever caused people to be in the Town Hall has passed. =) Piglet checks her modem to see what speed it has suddenly been reduced to. Penny mumbles, "3 baud" under her breath. DisNut smirks... Morgana thinks she has about 12 pages up all linked together now.... and I've still got ideas. =-P Piglet has connected. DisNut exclaims, "Great!!!!!" Piglet sighs. Max has disconnected. Penny tapes the ends of DisNut's mouth up so that she can only smile and not smirk now. =) Oliver wakes up with a start! DisNut sticks her tongue out. Darkwing quacks, "One thing I could see HTML editors useful for is frames. I figured out how to hand-hack them and still make them work right, but also my two cases are each just two frames per page (site index + content)." DisNut exclaims, "Welcome back!" Penny puppyhuggles Piglet and ties her tail to the ground so she won't bounce around so much. Morgana scritches Oli's head. "It's ok..." Morgana hates frames. PiggyWiggy hurls herself at Penny the Royal Puppy and pulls her onto the dance floor. o/~ It's Electric! Piggywiggywiggy o/~ Morgana says, "I haven't tried to code one, but hate using them." Piglet keeps two connexions open now, just in case. DisNut nods to Darkwing... "Yeah... maybe.... Sometimes frames ARE a pain." Penny may have to have the DJ play that for just for you, Piggy. ;D DisNut says, "It's not that hard once you get the basics down, Morg." Piglet ROTFL at HenWen's new nickname. Darkwing quacks, "Only if you get them wrong. It saves you the trouble of having to dump the index into every single page, and edit it in every single page" Toby enters from Main Street. Toby has arrived. DisNut exclaims, "You'll like 'em... just like... I hated Unix! And now... I still hate it! But.. that's beside the point." HenWen has arrived. You hear a faint hwoinking sound. It gets louder and louder until it becomes a full-fledged SQUEAL! Penny thinks Henny's hobbies are out of date? DisNut exclaims, "Henny!" O'Toby pulls out a memo from the Department of HUG. Said memo demands that *no* IDs be checked. O'Toby proceeds to hug Henny Hamlet. Penny the Royal Puppy licks Henny Hamlet in greeting and gives her puppy-kisses. Henny Hamlet huggles Toby, Penny, DisNut, Piglet, Oliver, Morgana, Plushy, and Darkwing and kisses them on both cheeks. DisNut says, "True, Dark..." Morgana grins at Disnut. The reason I don't like them is because everyone I have used I have not been able to go back one page... I end up having to go back 3 and then step through 2 of them again. Penny tries *soooooooo* hard not to eat the Skittles in front of her on her desk... DisNut nods... "I see." HenWen grrrs. Eat the skittles, Pen. I can't spoof you! DisNut says, "Well.... when you want to get back to one page, just type the URL up in the line at the top and press enter. Should work." Penny looks at Morgana with alarm. "You have a go back 3 button?" DisNut says, "The URL you want on one page, that is." Morgana giggles at Toby. Morgana nods at Penny. Took it from my Candyland game. Penny can't, she brushed her teeth. DisNut LOL HenWen giggles at Penny. DisNut exclaims, "Sleeping time.. night, guys!" Penny says, "and I Rollerbladed today. =)" Piglet blurts, "The new netscape offers a go back three (lol, Morg!). Hold down the back button and it gives a list of recent pages. Nifty." DisNut hugs..... Henny Hamlet huggles DisNut and kisses her on both cheeks. Morgana says, "It's better than the Go Directly To Jail button." DisNut asks, "Oh... Piggy... you coming to Orlando tomorrow w/ Sebby?" Darkwing quacks, "That so? I know the 'Go' menu acts that way..." Toby enquires, "Did you run over anyone, Penny?" Penny eeps at all the newest Netscape thingies and decides she'll stick with lynx. ;D Plushy still using Amiga 1200... :) Just got PP working on it. DisNut nods... "In Netscape it works, anyway... I dunno about other browsers. Plushy says, "Uh, PPP that is" Penny does not go fast enough to run over noone...except maybe a slow moving turtle. DisNut asks, "Or a snail?" Piglet questions, "Turtles that scare horses and then get shot?" HenWen saw a funny Disc. channel special...baby turtles were HURTLING down a hill to the water...never seen em move so fast! Toby eeks. You didn't run over Toby Turtle, did you? HenWen giggles at Peeeglet. DisNut exclaims, "Night!" DisNut runs off to her bedroom to get some sleep before the next time she signs back on.... DisNut has left. Penny says, "wow, that stirred up a lot of talk about turtles. =)" Piglet wonders why everyone knew she was going to Orlando tomorrow ... except her. *poutpoutpout* Penny didn't know. *poutpoutpout also* Piglet blurts, "Good! I feel better now." Disneygirl has arrived. Disneygirl comes dancing into the room, humming a Disney tune. Henny Hamlet huggles Disneygirl and kisses her on both cheeks. Penny the Royal Puppy licks Disneygirl in greeting and gives her puppy-kisses. O'Toby pulls out a memo from the Department of HUG. Said memo demands that *no* IDs be checked. O'Toby proceeds to hug Disneygirl. Morgana knew, Piggy. :) Disneygirl says, "Nope, sorry Morgana." Darkwing quacks, "Hello there." HenWen giggles at "lovelines" :) Penny wonders if Henny is from Denmark now that she's Henny Hamlet. Disneygirl asks, "What's up here tonite?" Darkwing quacks, "This *used* to be Get to Know. Now it's more like Get to Hang Out." Piglet lol. That's pretty appropriate. Morgana got her Annual Passport newletter today... now I *really* can't wait to go to WDW. Disneygirl says, "I see." Piglet cheers for AP holders! HenWen shakes her head. Megavolt calls me Hamlet, but I figured no one would know who that was when that was the only name on a page ore something. Piglet blurts, "I FINALLY GOT A BLOODY CALL BACK FROM CASTING TODAY! And I wasn't here." Penny eeps Morgana blinks at Piggy. "A call about what?" Piglet sighs and gets up at the crack of dawn to call Gary back. Penny thinks Piggy's been hanging out too mcuh with Duchess... Morgana giggles. Piglet says, "A job. Either front desk of one of the resorts or parade dancer/character, pending audition." Penny says, "...or surgeons (but I think the former is more likely)" Morgana exclaims, "Cool!" Penny cheers for a dancing Piglet! Disneygirl asks, "A character?? Cool! Which one, do you know?" Piglet wantsta dress in one of the nifty aminal costumes from the TLK parade. ;) Penny says, "so long as it's not the see-through ones. ;D" Disneygirl exclaims, "Sounds like lots o fun to me!" Morgana ooooos... Piggy the meerkat. :) Piglet eeps and turns pink all over! Disneygirl exclaims, "Whoops! Gottsta go...bbl!" Penny tugs on Piglet's tail and points out she started out pink all over. =) Disneygirl has disconnected. HenWen grins. Plushy smiles Morgana huggles Piggy and turns her blue all over. Piglet smirks. Penny eeps at the newest Smurf Piglet sings, o/~la la la la la la o/~ Penny the Royal Puppy hugs PiggyWiggy with all her might. PiggyWiggy's extremities are becoming cyanotic now! HenWen giggles. Oliver grins. Penny has disconnected. Penny has connected. Penny sighs Penny mumbles, "fooey" under her breath. HenWen has discombobulated. Toby barks, "brb" Penny's tummy rumbles and she looks longingly at the Skittles Piglet just typed in a really long page and was just waiting for the lag to boot her. Isn't that always the way it is? Piglet fixes Penny a bowl of Steve's chili. Penny just typed in a really long whsiper and got booted. =( Penny asks, "is that a new way of 'burning' calories? ;D" Piglet grins. I dunno. Is it really that hot, Henny? Penny asks, "you have to order your passport 9 or more months in advance?????" HenWen grins and her mouth smokes. Darkwing grins. Almost two hours after the show started, and I still got 80 percent of the MUCK here. Hah! Penny is reading about what she's supposed to be doing about this wedding thing. Morgana grins. Piglet says, "Stressing, stressing, and more stressing. Pretty straightforward." Morgana needs to go package up leftover tacos... brb... Penny puts on her chili eatin' bib and fills a large glass with ice water. Darkwing notes that the other 20% have idled a total of 39 minutes, too. Penny says, "mmmmmmm...tacos...=9" Darkwing quacks, "Wanna buy 100 tacos for $100?" Penny asks, "why does everyone have to talk about food!!!??? ;D (and don't say I started it)" Piglet says, "At least Shani isn't here any more. She was idle 4 hours at one point today." Penny thinks she could buy tacos for $.59 (each), DW. ;D Piglet ponders tacos, and decides the bell is too far away. Besides, that would require *gasp* turning the pooter off and leaving. Penny thinks Piglet needs a laptop, with a cellular phone with modem connection. ;D Piglet says, "Well, I do, too, but ah..." Toby offers to trade Piglet his Flameless fire chile recipe for Steve's recipe Piglet switches back over to this window to keep from idling. Piglet questions, "Recipe? Huh. STeve makes it up as he goes. Just ask Penny, hostess of the 3 am Bengal feast." Penny giggles (cuz it's less spammy). Penny says, "hey, don't exaggerate, it was only 2 AM. ;D" HenWen grins. Or the second date bengal feast with robin williams and zorro!!!!!!! Darkwing nodnodnods at Penny's idea. Penny looks at Henny in alarm and checks for a fever. Piglet blurts, "It is a Z! For El Zorro!" Penny forgot what her idea was? HenWen grins and looks at Piglet. Defeat....the defeatless! HenWen exclaims, "Poor Jonathan, he didn't know what hit him!" Penny groans and says, "now look what you've done, they're quoting Z, the gay blade again!" Piglet says, "I think it was the cat hair." Piglet points at Henny. "She started it!" Penny imagines a ball of cat hair flying through the air and hitting Jonathan squarely in the back. HenWen giggles. That was Jeremy, not Jonathan who was allergic to the cats! HenWen points back at Piggy....just cuz. Piglet says, "Add four legs and a head, name it Fiki, and that's about right. Er, a tail would come in handy as well." Oliver curls up in Morgana's lap. HenWen exclaims, "If Jon was allergic to cats, I'd have to trade him in!" Penny points, then she remembers she's a dalmatian. Piglet oopses at getting Henny's buds mixed up. Toby enquires, "Penny, have you seen the checks that have the two dalmatian pups wearing sungleasses on them?" Penny imagines Henny taking Jon to the nearest dept. store and asking to exchange. HenWen giggles. ONE is a bud, ONE is ...well...my better half :):) Penny shakes her head. "Real or cartoon?" Toby barks, "Real" HenWen thinks he'd be taken in a second! He's quite a cutie...if I say so myself. *swoon* Piglet imagines slicing Jonathan and HennyRee in half and sticking the two halves together... doesn't work too well. Penny still shakes her head. "and i'm not ordering anyomre checks! They finallyg ot my address right after 3 tries!" HenWen exclaims, "Only work if we both got our OWN parts back, Piggy!" Penny thinks you'd end up with leftover Jon. HenWen nodsnods...about a foot of leftover Jon..... Piglet says, "Nah. Match their heads up and lop off his leftover legs." Penny eeps! HenWen groans. Piggy, you're sooo lucky you got away from MS commercials. *sigh* People, go home! Penny keeps all sharp instruments out of Piggy's reach. HenWen urks! NOOOOOOOOO! Toby enquires, "MS?" Piglet says, "Mississippi." HenWen says, "Mississippi" Penny says, "although I think if he were cut in half, it would be leftover *leg*, not legs. ;D" HenWen grins at Piglet Piglet says, "Oh. Thanks Penny. yeah." Penny thinks of an Italian joke she got via e-mail the other day. HenWen thinks of an e-mail joke she got in Italian the other day. Darkwing quacks, "What're you going to do, bleed on me?" Piglet sighs. Yeah, that one. HenWen giggles. Piglet questions, "Wait. *IN* Italian?" HenWen giggles. Penny shakes her head...well, maybe sorta. =) Piglet checks Henny's family history. Yep, French. You don't *speak* Italian, chere couchin. Penny calls Henny a cabbage Penny says, "(as opposed to calling her a cab)" Toby @baps the idiot on rec.parks who crossposted to about 40 newsgroups HenWen exclaims, "Bravissimo!!!" HenWen calls Penny a cauliflower. Penny ews, she *hates* cauliflower! Piglet ews, che *hates* dangling. PiggyWiggy gives up and hands HenWen, Toby, Penny, Oliver, Morgana, Plushy, and Darkwing a Piglet-to-English dictionary for help in translating her typos. HenWen calls penny a broccoli Penny wonders what the french word for cauliflower is anyways. Piglet has disconnected. Toby barks, "brb" Penny thought Piggy was just speaking Mexican... Penny wonders when her phones battery is going to die, anwyas. (die! die! die!) Penny has a feeling she's not going to be able to recharge it tonight Morgana returns and thinks of something we were discussing earlier... Penny, what's the difference in Sushi and Sashimi? Oliver grins. Penny says, "sushi is vinegared rice, sashimi is raw fish" Penny exclaims, "I love sushi, I *hate* sashimi!" HenWen did an autopsy on a raw fish at school.... Penny yays! Her phone is beeping! The battery just died! Penny suddenly notices the battery doesn't give you a whole lot of warnign when it dies. =P Plushy hmms Morgana laughs. Piglet listens to the crab, who just got home. Penny wonders if there's anymore questions she can answer about her noble heritage (RL, not dal) Morgana waves at crabby. Penny crabbily waves at the Sebby Piglet grins. HenWen kisses the crab...chastely of COURSE..... Sebastian waves and grins to all. Penny wonders where Sebby's chaste is... Sebastian says, "It seems to have been left behind somewhere." Penny decides some mysteries in life are worth preserving. Morgana hmmms and thinks... Yeah, Penny... if I bring you my Ranma 1/2 Graphic Memorial Book, can you translate it for me? :) Penny says, "the answer would be...you'd have better luck with a Japanese-to-English dictionary...which we will have on the Muck should a character ever join and call him/herself 'Japanese' ;D" Morgana laughs. Morgana informs Penny that she actually has Japanese on her web pages. Morgana has a title from Ranma on there. :) Penny asks, "cool! Hiragana/Katakana or romaji?" Morgana says, "Hira, I believe." PiggyWiggy looks in her Penny the Royal Puppy-to-English dictionary, but doesn't see that word. Huh? ;) Morgana says, "But it may be Kata... I'm not entirely sure which is which." Penny says, "hiragana is what I used to write 'crab' on your cranes, Piggy. Katakana is what is used to write English words in Japanese...it's much simpler looking" Morgana thinks it's Katakana, then. :) Penny says, "and romaji is just Japanese words spelled using the regular alphabet" Penny gives Morg a cool tip: you can abbreviate Katakana to 'Kana' and sound like you really know what you're talking about. ;D (see, it worked on you! ;D) Piglet watches the conversation lag. HenWen giggles Penny doesn't think anyone ever calls Hiragana 'Gana' though. ;D HenWen's gotta get to bed, y'all. I am beat! PiggyWiggy leans over to Henny Hamlet and gives the Secret Nose Bop of the FDCMuck Pigs. Penny says, "let me know when your pages are ready for viewing, Morg. =)" Penny the Royal Puppy huggles Henny Hamlet and gives her puppy kisses. Piglet says, "Bon nuit, chere." Penny says, "g'night Henny Wenny" Toby barks, "Penny, in general, nickle cadmium batteries do not give much notice before dieing" HenWen says, "Bon nuit, ma soeur et mes amis :)" Lady Morgana hugs Henny Hamlet with all her might... Henny Hamlet is turning blue now! Penny thinks, "isn't the hen's name in the story 'Henny Penny'?" Morgana says, "Penny, they're there now... the first couple of them are, anyway." HenWen shakes her head...don't think so. Piglet questions, "Money Penny?" Toby groans Penny asks, "are the address(es) in your pinfo?" Henny Hamlet hears a whisper on the breeze that is calling her home... HenWen has left. Plushy has connected. Morgana says, "I tend to break my pages up so that there's not more than a page or two worth of information in each file." Penny says, "Yes, I would like some, Piglet. tahnk you for offering. =)" Darkwing quacks, "Good idea, usually." Oliver smiles. Morgana nods... or you can go directly there: http://reedycreek.stanford.edu/jordan/ranintro.htm Penny will have to wait til she's at school...unless you want her to check it out on lynx. ;D Penny thinks it would definitely lose soemthing in the translation. =P Plushy has disconnected. Penny mumbles, "they're dropping like flies" under her breath. Morgana nodsnods. :) Piglet rolls over backwards in shock. DW's awake? Penny decides to take her cue from Plushy and go to bed. Penny the Royal Puppy hugs Toby, Piglet, Oliver, Morgana, Plushy, and Darkwing with all her might. Toby, Piglet, Oliver, Morgana, Plushy, and Darkwing's extremities are becoming cyanotic now! Darkwing quacks, "Yes." Morgana asks, "Penny, are you familiar with Ranma? I mean, I know that you know what it is, but do you really know anything about the series?" Plushy got kicked off Penny shakes her head Morgana says, "Good... then tell me what you think of my pages. :)" Penny asks, "it's good that I don't know anything?" Morgana was trying to write them as an introduction... mainly for people who don't know that much about it. Penny ahs Penny says, "cool. =)" Penny exclaims, "gnght folks!" Lady Morgana looks around the room, then sweeps Penny into a big huggle. "How's about another joy ride, Louise?" :) Penny yawns and stretches and heads off for bed. Penny has left. Piglet watches a pin drop. Oliver tests something and may vanish... Morgana spoofs *poof* :) Toby smiles at Morg Piglet continues talking to the crab. Toby yawns Piglet questions, "WAAT?" Darkwing quacks, "Was that spelled that way on purpose?" Oliver stretches in Morg's lap, purring idly. Piglet says, "Yes. Word At A Time." Toby waves bye O'Toby hears a whisper on the breeze that is calling him home... Toby has left. Piglet tries to wave ... but just isn't fast enough. Piglet says, "I was asking if anyone wanted to play. But it seems we're all caught up in whatever we're all doing. :)" Darkwing quacks, "Sounds good to me." Oliver is okay with it. :) "I may vanish if this thing works like it's supposed to." Piglet questions, "What are you working on?" Plushy blinks Oliver says, "Actually it's the `Go Offline' option on netscape mail. :P" Plushy's gonna head off for a bit... Plushy huggles - seeya later OliKitty hugs Plushy! Piglet wil dance around happily as sson as she gets a new harddrive so she can fully install Netscape. *sigh* Plushy wavies. :) Plushy hears a whisper on the breeze that is calling him home... Plushy has left. Oliver asks, "What release do you have, Piggy?" Piglet says, "um, Communicator pro preview 2 yadda yadda yadda." Darkwing hrms. Can you create a compressed drive and dump some stuff into it? That worked for me... Oliver says, "I have: Communicator plus plugins Preview 3" Piglet says, "Nah. This HD is (counting back) 4 years old and begging to be put into a home. It wouldn't take it." Darkwing quacks, "Fair enough." Piglet blurts, "Hey Morg, Crab, Me, my manager, and 3 people I work with are all going to Pleasure Island Saturday night. First stop, Adventurers Club!" Morgana pouts. Piglet fishie waves... Piglet drinks... Piglet salutes... Piglet blurts, "Kungaloosh!" Morgana exclaims, "Kungaloosh!" Oliver wants to see this Adventurers Club. :P Morgana giggles. Piglet buys Oli a Kungaloosh. Morgana says, "Oli, you still won't be able to get in when I'm there in May. :(" Piglet says, "Pongo didn't like hers too much. Crab drank it." Morgana asks, "Piglet, how does under-21 work at PI?" Piglet says, "You can get in everywhere but Mannequins, and can't drink. Handstamp on different arm and no wristband." Oliver could chat with a pal to get a fake ID, but. :P Oliver says, "I'm not gonna. :P" Piglet says, "Bad plan. Serious kicked-out-ed-ness." Morgana has no desire to go in mannequins, and has just as much fun when she doesn't drink anyway. :) Oliver says, "Piggy, I'm not that dumb. :)" Piglet grins. Morgana asks, "Is 8-Traks still doing 80s night once a week?" Piglet blurts, "Yep! Thursdays! Cast Night!" Morgana smiles. Piglet hopes Netscape doesn't crash her. Morgana makes a note of it. Thursday night-- PI. :) Oliver grins. Piglet questions, "You going to Orlando tomorrow, Oli?" Oliver says, "Yup!" Oliver says, "I'll have to leave at 3:30 though. :/" Piglet questions, "Where are we meeting you?" Morgana POUTS! Oliver says, "World of Disney." Piglet questions, "Ok. Any more specific? ;)" Morgana asks, "Have you guys met before?" Oliver says, "Well, I'm meeting DisNut at the SnowGlobe in the middle at 2:30..." Piglet says, "Nopers." Oliver says, "I'm wearing my Jaded Fox Tshirt." Oliver says, "No, Morg. :P" Piglet thinks. Ok. Morgana points Piggy to the tall thin blond guy with glasses and the fox on his t-shirt. :) Piglet thanks Morg. Morgana giggles. No prob. Piglet wunners what to wear tomorrow... Morgana is wearing a turtleneck and a sweater. Morgana sticks her tongue out. Piglet says, "Ok. White t-shirt, black mouse ears, says Disney VoluntEARS, The Disney Store on the front and something about the tenth anniversary on the back." Piglet says, "Jean shorts of whichever colour happens to be closest when I'm getting dressed, liltin pixie wif red/brown hair. :)" Oliver asks, "Okay, and when will you be there? ;)" Piglet questions, "I guess that would be handy, huh?" Darkwing quacks, "Probably, yes." Nala has arrived. One of the lesser lionesses from Simba's pride walks in, announces the Queen, and serenely walks out. But didn't you hear her just mutter, "I have a Ph. D. in communications - for *this*?!" Piglet thinks. Lady Morgana hugs the Lion Queen with all her might... the Lion Queen is turning blue now! > look nala So excuse me forgetting these _..--''``\--....__ _..,_ things I do; _.-'` .-/"; ` ```<._ ``-+'~=.

Piglet sings o/~ Busa Nala... o/~ Darkwing quacks, "Busa?" Oliver asks, "Live isn't it?" Piglet questions, "I have to call in at noon. If I'm not working, we'll be there 2ish. DisNut knows us, anyway. What time are you meeting her?" Morgana asks, "How was your trip this weekend, Jen?" Oliver says, "2:30 is when she'll be there... I'll be there around 1:30.. :P" Piglet questions, "Which do you answer to quicker, Josh, Joshua, or Oliver?" Nala purrs, "It was interesting. The weather, which had been fine all week, turned bad for JUST Saturday and Sunday." Nala purrs, "Then cleared up again on Monday." Piglet questions, "Where did you go, Nala?" Nala purrs, "Minnesota. A friend and I went to pick up a VW bus he'd bought." Oliver says, "Josh. :)" Nala purrs, "We enjoyed the trip - listened to lots of music and chattered on the way up and on the way back. It went fine, except for the fact that when we got back we found that we'd towed the bus in first gear the entire way home." Oliver says, "Oliver takes me a while to parse. ;P" Morgana is glad to see you're ok. Steve was worried about you for awhile, 'cause he couldn't get in touch with you. :) Nala purrs, "Ruined the differential, we think." Morgana says, "Ewwwww." Piglet answers to Vanessa, Piglet, Piggie, and occasionally Armadillo. Nala purrs, "Nate (my friend) says there was oil all over the place which we] hadn't noticed until we left it alone for it all to pool." Nala pricks her ears up, "Armadillo?" Piglet giggles. Morgana doesn't think she wants to know. Piglet says, "Um, Laurel at work convinced Katye The Gullible at work that Piglet was really an armadillo." Morgana usually calls Piglet 'Nessa' or 'Piggy'. :) Piglet says, "It kinda transferred to me." Morgana giggles. Piglet oh yeahs, I answer to those, too. And assorted other names we won't get into... ;) Piglet curses at DW. Your bloody page made me open another Netscape. :P Nala pricks her ears up, "Fuzzy Wuzzy?" Morgana ansers to 'Morg', or 'Morgana' just as readily, if not more so, as to 'Misti'. Darkwing blinks at Piglet. It shouldn't. What'd you click on? I'll fix it Morgana rolls her eyes silently. Piglet rolls Morg's eyes back to her, along with a spare jelly bean. Morgana says, "Thanks, sweetie." Piglet grins. Oliver smiles. Morgana pops the eyes back in the socket and the jelly bean in her mouth. Oliver giggles. Morgana says, "At least I hope I got that right..." Piglet checks. Can you see down your throat? Morgana looks. Morgana says, "Nope. Must have done it right." Piglet giggles. Oliver stares at some Art styles and begins to copy like mad. :) Piglet wants to write an html rant about sucky parents and their Children Who Can DO No Wrong. Piglet just thought she would share that. :) Morgana looks at the clock and sighs. Morgana says, "I have to be at work early in the morning, since I have to leave early for a Dr's appointment. =-P" Piglet gets a rumbly in her tumbly. Lady Morgana hugs Nala, Piglet, Oliver, and Darkwing with all her might... They are all now turning a nice shade of lavender. OliKitty hugs Lady Morgana! OliKitty hugs Lady Morgana! Morgana has left. Darkwing quacks, "And then there were four." Piglet hangs out idling and ponders writing a web page. Darkwing quacks, "Again." Piglet questions, "Was that again to me?" Oliver giggles. Nala unidles after sifting through e-mail. Piglet pours Nala's email through a collander. Darkwing quacks, "No, it was an addition to what I said before it." Piglet says, "Or a collator, take your pick." Darkwing quacks, "Or a collar." Piglet ponders what a collar would do for Nala's email. Oliver says, "Nala, Andre Hein.. His art style is actually the easiest that I've found to mimic. And what's cool, is I _like_ his style. :)" Piglet questions, "Anyone else want to see Warriors of Virtue?" Nala pricks her ears up, "How would you find a collar of the right size to fit the email?" Piglet grumps as the site she finds requires Shockwave, which she doesn't have anymore. Or, don't have it installed at least. Nala hates sites that REQUIRE Shockwave. Oliver says, "Fireworks is Macromedia... I think that may be a new version of Shockwave. :P" Nala thinks it is. Piglet instaled shockwave just to play virtual bubble wrap (holy mackerel!). Nala shows everybody her new webpage: http://www.math.grin.edu/~sarantit/jetta.html Piglet says, "It's giving me an option now for Non-shocked version, Nala." Oliver giggles, "You decided you want one? :)" Nala purrs, "Read it, Josh, and it will answer your question." Nala purrs, "I whipped that together in ten minutes, including graphics (which I didn't make from scratch, before anyone asks.)" Oliver loads Netscape. Darkwing prepares to do so. Piglet has connected. Piglet has disconnected. Nala especially likes the VW=MC^2 logo. :) Piglet questions, "*I* am equal to MCsquared?" Nala laughs! Nala pricks her ears up, "Would you drive a Volkswagen just because it has your initials on it?" Piglet grins and seems to be partial to Saturns. But I would consider stealing the logo off a volkswagen. Darkwing could handle an indigo Neon. Nala purrs, "I wouldn't try that ... you'd have a rather angry VDubber chasing after you." Oliver wants a VW Fox. ;) Nala purrs, "They don't make those anymore." Piglet says, "They don't make Bugs anymore here either, last time I checked. ;)" Oliver says, "They will again by 2000. ;)" Piglet notes she does *not* answer to VW Bug, even though some people try to get me to. Nala purrs, "The New Beetle will be built in Mexico." Nala purrs, "Old Beetles are made there and in Brazil." Piglet says, "Yeah, I think I heard that." Oliver says, "And Foxes I'm looking at a 93." Piglet questions, "So tell me, Nala. What possessed you to write this page?" Max has connected. Piglet says, "Hi Max." Max says, "Can't sleep." Nala purrs, "I love Volkswagens. I would love to get a Vanagon Westfalia (the camper) but my parents seem to think that anything older than about four years, if they didn't buy it new, is going to fall apart ... or something." Nala purrs, "They made those up until 1991." Oliver says, "VW's are among the best built cars in the world." Piglet whines. Someone give me an interesting page to look at. Nala purrs, "I'm going to try to persuade my parents to buy me the camper, but I don't know how much luck I'll have." Nala hmms. Interesting. Well... let's see. Max says, "Define interesting." Nala purrs, "www.holodeck3.com. :)" Piglet goes to the Web Ring. Got to be something there. Oliver says, "My parents Beetle was driven 800,000 miles when the odometer broke. And it was driven a LOT after that..." Darkwing quacks, "http://www.circus.com/~no_dhmo/" Piglet ? Nala idles a bit here. Max says, "I like that one, DW." Max exclaims, "The odd part is, someone posted that page verbatim on EMuck...and Minnie too it seriously!" Darkwing giggles uncontrollably. Nala snickers. That thing is posted in about fifty places in the Science building up here. Piglet says, "Minnie takes a lot of things seriously. Too seriously." Nala purrs, "Dihydrogen Monoxide = 2H + O = H2O. Water." Darkwing believes it, Piglet. Nala purrs, "Pure water is not a killer, DW. Contaminated water is."
