[2009-04-16 00:47:18 UTC] Beware the power of David Lynch's Cosmophone! [2009-04-16 03:18:11 UTC] COSMOPHONE [2009-04-16 03:18:22 UTC] Much scarier than the holophone. [2009-04-16 03:21:23 UTC] Much scarier than most things. [2009-04-16 03:21:40 UTC] I drew a picture of it. I'll have to scan it. I wasn't able to get to my computer to draw it. [2009-04-16 03:26:40 UTC] O_o [2009-04-16 03:26:48 UTC] dont ask dont tell [2009-04-16 03:35:10 UTC] People who know how to read know what we're talking about. [2009-04-16 03:36:10 UTC] There are a lot of people in the world. At least one of them is David Lynch. [2009-04-16 03:40:17 UTC] David Lynch is at least one person. [2009-04-16 03:40:32 UTC] If I were to imagine a godhead, I think at least part of it would be David Lynch. [2009-04-16 03:41:15 UTC] It would also include Buckminster Fuller, William Blake, Nikola Tesla, Ezra Pound, and Dmitri Shostakovich. [2009-04-16 03:46:37 UTC] And Samuel Beckett and probably Borges [2009-04-16 03:49:22 UTC] i did but..... [2009-04-16 03:51:41 UTC] Your brain got full? [2009-04-16 03:54:08 UTC] I don't think Borges would accept that. [2009-04-16 03:54:22 UTC] Also I have no idea who Buckminster Fuller is. [2009-04-16 04:02:07 UTC] You should know who Buckminster Fuller is. [2009-04-16 04:03:12 UTC] Who is Buckminster Fuller? Won't you tell me? [2009-04-16 04:05:19 UTC] Buckminster Fuller invented the geodesic dome and built houses that look remarkably similar to what The Jetsons conceived of the future as being like. [2009-04-16 04:07:14 UTC] He was also obsessed with creating his own wacky neologisms, had a thing for triangles, and imagined self sustaining floating cities shaped like obtuse pyramids. [2009-04-16 04:08:16 UTC] Well, if they were geodesic, then I suppose he's alright. [2009-04-16 04:10:26 UTC] Fuller documented his life every 15 minutes from 1915 to 1983, leaving 80 meters (270 ft) of journals. He called this the Dymaxion Chronofile. That is said to be the most documented human life in history. [2009-04-16 04:10:49 UTC] verey verey interisting [2009-04-16 04:11:57 UTC] So, does that mean that you know of the wonder that is Shostakovich already? [2009-04-16 04:15:09 UTC] no [2009-04-16 04:15:16 UTC] but i under stand [2009-04-16 04:16:38 UTC] No, I was talking to aaronjer, because he mentioned specifically not knowing Fuller from that group, so I wondered if that meant that he was also familiar with Shostakovich, who is almost completely different (they both wore glasses, for one) [2009-04-16 04:16:48 UTC] ok [2009-04-16 04:17:11 UTC] I know who Shostakovich is, but I don't know what he has done or why you would like him. [2009-04-16 04:17:47 UTC] My knowledge of him is limited to "A composer, probably Russian" [2009-04-16 04:20:18 UTC] Honestly, several of the people I've heard of in name only. [2009-04-16 04:20:19 UTC] Yeah, basically. Some of his music is nothing special, but he's written some string quartets where the music is sort of terrifying. I'll burn something onto a CD when I'm in town next. [2009-04-16 04:20:46 UTC] Like Samuel Beckett... I think I read something about him when reading about James Joyce, but I have no clue who he is. [2009-04-16 04:21:33 UTC] i a idiut among jenuses [2009-04-16 04:22:23 UTC] While it would please me to discover we are not of the same genus, I'm afraid the sad fact remains that we are. [2009-04-16 04:23:26 UTC] I DO know who William Blake is, I quite particularly remember seeing and being mildly bored by his art. [2009-04-16 04:25:14 UTC] He's more interesting as a poet/heretic. [2009-04-16 04:25:44 UTC] Also, the genus comment kind of wins. [2009-04-16 04:29:45 UTC] Buckminster Fuller would have been proud of me? [2009-04-16 04:30:40 UTC] I also recently started saying an "if he know about this he'd be rolling around in his grave" when half way through I realize the roller in question wasn't dead and ended up saying "If he knew about this he'd be rolling around in his... house." [2009-04-16 04:30:41 UTC] ha! [2009-04-16 04:30:44 UTC] Which still makes me laught. [2009-04-16 04:31:15 UTC] Possible, but I don't know that he explored biology all that much. He was more of an architect. Come to think of it I don't know of any emminent biologist whome I truly admire. [2009-04-16 04:31:18 UTC] Who was it? [2009-04-16 04:32:17 UTC] Nobody special. The main character's dad in Neverwinter Nights 2. [2009-04-16 04:32:55 UTC] Ah, okay. Yeah I've never played that. [2009-04-16 04:33:22 UTC] I've only played it a little. It's very fun, even if you're not into D&D, unlike any other D&D based game. [2009-04-16 04:35:58 UTC] Which are only fun if you're into D&D or not fun at all? [2009-04-16 04:36:33 UTC] bah im out ttyl [2009-04-16 04:38:10 UTC] Are generally only fun if you're into D&D, because standard D&D stories are more cliched and boring than even JRPGs. [2009-04-16 04:38:47 UTC] But if you like the D&D stat/leveling element they'll be fun anyway. [2009-04-16 04:39:18 UTC] Then again, there were games like Temple of Elemental Evil that had wildly innovative and entertaining stories. [2009-04-16 04:39:53 UTC] Any game that gives you the option to spend the whole game burning down churches just because it's funny is a good game. [2009-04-16 04:40:14 UTC] Well, I don't know, I mean, I enjoy SOME jrpgs but... yeah, by and large it's just sort of blah. [2009-04-16 04:40:24 UTC] Sounds like a selling point. [2009-04-16 04:41:02 UTC] In the end you burn them all down and then you win! :D [2009-04-16 04:41:27 UTC] Except that the deity of the churches, St. Cuthbert, then comes down to beat the everloving crap out of you. [2009-04-16 04:41:48 UTC] And then you lose? [2009-04-16 04:41:57 UTC] Only if he catches you. [2009-04-16 04:42:13 UTC] You can go hide behind your god and then he has to leave. [2009-04-16 04:43:54 UTC] As far as I can tell there is no way to actually kill St. Cuthbert, one look at his stats and you can see that engaging in combat with him is a pointless venture... he gets to attack 15 times a round, and his attacks do enough damage to instakill a max level character, and you can have at most like 9-10 party members, and he has high enough initiative you always go first.. [2009-04-16 04:44:05 UTC] Basically, you can't move, and then you die. [2009-04-16 04:44:34 UTC] ... [2009-04-16 04:44:39 UTC] to always go first. [2009-04-16 04:44:40 UTC] not you. [2009-04-16 04:44:48 UTC] I wish I could get cheap food around here that didn't make me feel like someone was making balloon animals out of my intestines... [2009-04-16 04:45:01 UTC] Yeah that makes more sense. [2009-04-16 04:45:08 UTC] Godjesusmosesalexandermohammedlazarus that was a typo. [2009-04-16 04:45:49 UTC] Well, for us most food makes us feel like we're full of balloons. We are cursed with TOTALLY LAME INTESTINES. [2009-04-16 04:46:58 UTC] Yeah. I don't know how to deal with vegetarians I know because it seems weird to try to convince them that meat is one of the few things I can seem to eat. [2009-04-16 04:48:03 UTC] Not that I care to defend it particularly, it's just one of those things where cute girls I meet who I seem to hit it off with are disproportionately vegetarians. I don't get it. [2009-04-16 04:48:26 UTC] I know. I mean, I love the broccoli... but boy howdy does it lift me up off the seat. [2009-04-16 04:49:29 UTC] Are they the "YOU MUST ALSO BE VEGETARIAN" kind of vegetarian? Because there aren't enough vegetarians so most vegetarians have to put up with normal omnivorous people. [2009-04-16 04:49:44 UTC] I hear that broccoli is one of those things. [2009-04-16 04:50:26 UTC] Actually, no, one of them that I'm thinking of is so casual about it. She's never once seemed like she even considered getting preachy about it. But then again, she's a uniquely awesome person. [2009-04-16 04:51:09 UTC] But most others, I feel slightly on edge. [2009-04-16 04:51:37 UTC] That's the other thing about New York. So many people are Jewish and in the back of my mind I think "nnnnhhh, I like bacon?" [2009-04-16 04:52:03 UTC] I'm hoping eDan has a witty response to that, but it may not last that long. [2009-04-16 05:07:04 UTC] Where do they get off being Jewish, anyway? [2009-04-16 05:07:51 UTC] Have you found Biatchi's/Biacci's/however it's spelled yet? The restaurant? [2009-04-16 05:08:15 UTC] Supposedly it has the best rigatoni this side of most things. [2009-04-16 05:10:25 UTC] Have I ever told you you're my hero? Because you're not, and if I did I'm sorry if there was any confusion on the subject. [2009-04-16 05:17:05 UTC] No, I was not aware of that, but appreciate the clarification. [2009-04-16 05:17:38 UTC] I have not found Biatchi's (probably Biacci's, but whatever). I think it's down on the south end of the island while I amin the tender midsection. [2009-04-16 05:35:09 UTC] dear lord, I SLEEP [2009-04-16 05:35:24 UTC] I imagine you are preoccupied with the grandfathering anyway [2009-04-16 06:27:40 UTC] Hi AJ and NJ [2009-04-16 06:42:01 UTC] oh and SJ [2009-04-16 06:45:12 UTC] HAI! [2009-04-16 06:45:44 UTC] What's the loaf? [2009-04-16 06:46:20 UTC] Cheddar. [2009-04-16 06:48:05 UTC] Topped with dill. Slow roasted in an oversized kiln. [2009-04-16 06:50:16 UTC] Oooo oversized kiln crust [2009-04-16 06:53:03 UTC] Whatcha doin? [2009-04-16 09:15:17 UTC] Read this conversation [2009-04-16 12:57:20 UTC] Just kidding, don't. [2009-04-16 13:14:10 UTC] It's totally not worth it [2009-04-16 13:15:02 UTC] i know right [2009-04-16 13:15:55 UTC] Ja [2009-04-16 15:11:17 UTC] Can i change my post colour now? [2009-04-16 15:46:30 UTC] Probably not. [2009-04-16 15:46:43 UTC] You could try sending candy to AJ though. [2009-04-16 15:47:38 UTC] Candy? [2009-04-16 15:47:49 UTC] I thought i had to buy him a car [2009-04-16 15:49:53 UTC] I said you could try. I didn't say it would work. [2009-04-16 17:22:22 UTC] AJ adress? Oh and postal code :) [2009-04-16 17:22:45 UTC] You like ice cream or big cake? [2009-04-16 20:38:17 UTC] 1337 AtoJams Lane, WA 65535, USA #1. Do not send cash! [2009-04-16 21:12:08 UTC] Where did you get that address? Something here is weird... [2009-04-16 21:12:18 UTC] And yes, I know you made it up, but still [2009-04-16 22:16:12 UTC] Edan. I want to send you some return candy, but I couldn't read the hebrews so I don't know your address... if it's even on there... [2009-04-16 22:25:00 UTC] aaronjer's all flipping the package over, "wtf is with these jew-words?"
