I thought you were a mature human being Alex

Alex A.

I don't know why you would have thought that

trichoplax

@quartata You must be new :P

Alex A.

self.rekt

quartata

Don't make me send you home with a note for your parents

@AlexA. Although you're not doing your reputation any good being at the top of the starboard for something grown up and useful...

Alex A.

@quartata Aren't I older than you? ;P

@trichoplax Uh oh, better mod abuse edit it into a fart joke

quartata

I think we're around the same age? Dunno. I don't ask questions on the Internets

trichoplax

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ It is - that's my point :)

quartata

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ define "useful"

Alex A.

> I don't ask questions on the Internets

Is on a Q&A network

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

I'm ashamed that even our own mods don't know that!

trichoplax

Challenge and solution...

quartata

I mean, you know, "I need to see your ID sir" questions. I don't ask questions

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

@trichoplax Oh, I get it.

@quartata How old are you?

quartata

Jan 7 at 2:17, by quartata

23-28

I wonder if I could chat by simply providing links to old messages

trichoplax

So you're prime, highly composite, square, cube or perfect?

Helka Homba

@quartata -5?

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Oh. I don't know why, but I assumed you were in high school.

quartata

12:32 AM

@HelkaHomba yes I haven't been born yet

Alex A.

And won't be for another 5 years

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Oh, I confused you and codegolf.stackexchange.com/users/31343/maltysen

Helka Homba

@quartata Tell us how it goes

quartata

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ pichu != dragon

Helka Homba

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ See! Quartata ≈ Mego ≈ Malty

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

12:34 AM

Not mego.

Penguins are more easily identifiable.

Alex A.

Maltysen is distinct to me. More like quartata ≈ Mego

Helka Homba

Yeah, same here. I just wanted to bring it up again

quartata

@AlexA. Why do people keep saying that anyways? I thought our personalities are pretty distinct.

At any rate I don't drink nor do I have a beard

trichoplax

I've never confused quartata with anyone but apsillers

Alex A.

@quartata You're missing out :P

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

12:35 AM

@HelkaHomba You know, you remind of that Calvin guy. Where is he? I haven't seen him in a while.

quartata

@AlexA. On having a beard? Probably.

Alex A.

@DrGreenEggsandHamDJ Calvin is dead, long live Helka

Helka Homba

Also Rainbolt ≈ Geobits. trichoplax ≈ BrainSteel. VTC ≈ Conor.

Alex A.

@quartata Gotta drink with a beard and let it all run out into the hair mmmm

@HelkaHomba I agree with none of those

Well maybe VTC ≈ Conor

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

wat

Helka Homba

12:36 AM

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

I disagree with VTC = conor, but I can see Rainbolt = Geobits.

quartata

Geobits is like Rainbolt but much more memester

Alex A.

Rainbolt is saltier than Geobits

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

wat

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

s/=/≈

Alright I'm gonna go eat food.

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

12:38 AM

bai

Dr Green Eggs and Ham DJ

Bai everyone!

Alex A.

@quartata They are. Idk.

I love you both <3

quartata

@AlexA. I guess it's because at one point we both were things that could not fly

@AlexA. <#

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

haha skrubs

Alex A.

You still both can't fly

quartata

12:39 AM

True.

I guess we were both things that look like they should be able to fly but cannot

trichoplax

"yes hello this is glider"

quartata

Oh, I never changed that.

trichoplax

Will really confuse people who join after your avatar change :)

GamrCorps

@Dennis would you mind pulling Convex please?

Helka Homba

Also: Doorknob ≈ PPCG's Dad, Martin ≈ PPCG's Mom, Dennis ≈ Detached Uncle, Alex A. ≈ Awkward Aunt

trichoplax

12:44 AM

That's gonna get so many stars

Maltysen

@HelkaHomba i'm not sure the last two are exactly canon…

Rainbolt

I caved...

quartata

I think Doorknob makes more sense as the Detached Uncle

Helka Homba

maybe, but Dk was a mod first

Doorknob

Donkey Kong was never a PPCG mod

quartata

12:45 AM

@HelkaHomba True

Maltysen

@quartata but he's always been dadknob

trichoplax

@HelkaHomba Did you measure that for the starboard?

Maltysen

@Rainbolt XD

Helka Homba

The width? no :p

Rainbolt

Sp3000's message is quite a bit wider

Helka Homba

12:47 AM

It's not that funny. No one is under any obligation to star it

trichoplax

@Rainbolt Oh yeah. I have to zoom right out to see that one...

Cᴏɴᴏʀ O'Bʀɪᴇɴ

Maltysen

@HelkaHomba he makes holes in corn?

Helka Homba

12:51 AM

quartata

@Downgoat No, ‡ was added about a month ago I think.

I'll check for you.

Maltysen

@HelkaHomba oh. good to know, I guess

Helka Homba

@Maltysen Have you not seen his corncam?

trichoplax

In individual grains, or like crop circles?

Downgoat

@quartata ah, okay.

Maltysen

12:52 AM

@HelkaHomba is that like a webcam made out of corn?

trichoplax

This is getting too corny for words

quartata

@Downgoat Yeah, the update with that was March 4th I believe.

okay

@trichoplax aw, shucks! I really wanted to continue this conversation.

trichoplax

12:56 AM

What a cornundrum...

@HelkaHomba This is lost on me...

Ah - Google to the rescue

@HelkaHomba ohey

@HelkaHomba ._.

@Maltysen hahaha

Aunt you pleased Helka stuck around?

Helka Homba

@trichoplax I shoulda use the phonetic for "ex" (which is what @Doorknob?)

Doorknob

12:59 AM

@HelkaHomba huhwhat

Alex A.

IPA for the "ex" sound

trichoplax

lojban would be lost on me too...
