1:00 PM
El Mariachi is a cult film
Desperado is mainstream
 
120 days of Sodom is a terrible movie.
 
Even though they suck quite equally.
 
@simON Norm is a drunk.
 
Norm!
 
1:01 PM
 
@MattЭллен I agree.
 
NOOORM!
 
I got 443 points on ELL in one day because of migration and association, lol.
 
A cult film, also commonly referred to as a cult classic, is a film with a cult following, obscure or unpopular with mainstream audiences, and often revolutionary or ironically enjoyed. Sometimes, the definition is expanded to exclude films that have been released by major studios or have big budgets, try specifically to become cult films, or become accepted by mainstream audiences and critics. Cult films are defined as much by audience reaction as they are content. Some studios, such as Troma Entertainment, specialize in making cult films. Films 0–9 * 9½ Weeks * 12 Monkeys * 194...
 
@JasperLoy wow
 
1:02 PM
Um, I don't think migration works like that.
 
I intend to migrate to XXX in future.
 
Donnie Darko is one
 
@RegDwigнt oh, so it doesn't
the reps are spread out like the votes
 
Not to be confused with Donnie Brasco.
 
Or Donnie Yan.
 
1:04 PM
I confused those all the time until I watched Donnie Darko last year.
 
Evil Dead is a cult film. I love that film
 
I LOVE THAT FILM!
 
They have forgotten Young Frankenstein.
 
Well I bet you no longer confuse them now.
 
See? Community association.
Those are the passwords.
 
1:04 PM
Yay!
 
hunter1
 
That film was confusing.
 
You forgot to rot13
 
prey0
 
No I didn't, you just have a derot plugin I guess.
 
1:04 PM
I see the people on ELL don't have that much rep as it is a new site.
 
p4ssw0rd
 
What’s the antonym of rot?
 
Jasper is so insightful.
 
antirot
 
blau.
 
1:05 PM
You are so clever.
 
grün.
 
@tchrist refresh?
 
I want to bite you.
 
@RegDwigнt I am already on page 5 of all time rep there.
 
@JasperLoy already as ín going up or coming down?
Because I am certain I am already on page 5 there as well.
 
1:06 PM
@RegDwigнt Going up.
 
Haha, page 2 actually. Just two places below page 1.
And I'm not getting no 443 points a day.
 
@RegDwigнt Nein, sondern cyan.
Oder zyan.
 
Cyan is not a color people have outside of English.
 
I was afraid of that.
Well, what the hell do you call it then?
 
we are rich in colours!
 
1:09 PM
Cyan (auch in der Schreibung Zyan anzutreffen) bezeichnet allgemein einen am Übergang von Blau zu Grün liegenden Farbton. Der Begriff wird vor allem in technischen und künstlerischen Anwendungen genutzt und ist in der Alltagssprache sehr selten. Hier fehlt eine allgemein akzeptierte und abgrenzbare Farbkategorie Cyan (im Gegensatz etwa zu dem am Übergang von Rot zu Gelb liegenden Orange). Alltagssprachlich gebräuchlicher ist die Bezeichnung Türkis, jedoch ist der so bezeichnete, zwischen Blau und Grün liegende Farbton nicht in allen Nuancen mit Cyan deckungsgleich. Begriff Präzisere ...
 
@MattЭллен yeah, that's why your rainbow has six of them while everyone else's has 7 or 9.
 
> Dieser Artikel behandelt die Farbe Cyan, weitere Bedeutungen unter Cyan (Begriffsklärung)
 
@tchrist QED.
 
@RegDwigнt ROYGBIV
 
@RegDwigнt rainbow, shmaimbow, also, yeah, 7
 
1:10 PM
There is no German word for it, and even the word they stole nobody ever uses.
> Der Begriff wird vor allem in technischen und künstlerischen Anwendungen genutzt und ist in der Alltagssprache sehr selten.
So QED.
 
Eine kleine Nachtmusik.
 
We don't have cyan in English either.
 
@MattЭллен must be a new thing. Used to be 6 all the time.
And it's still 6 on the gay flag.
 
it's always been roygbiv since I was a child
 
They teach us Roy G Biv, but Blue and Indigo are always just blue.
 
1:11 PM
@MattЭллен Oh, and you are such an old thing now. Right.
 
@RegDwigнt almost as old as you
 
See.
 
Or indigo and violet are always purple.
 
I am running out of QEDs at godspeed.
 
1:12 PM
I still have plenty of LOLs.
 
@KitFox indigo is another color nobody has outside of English.
What the hell is it supposed to be, anyway.
 
We don't have it in English either.
 
Indigo Montoya
 
Except as a mood in the storm warning system.
Also, to provide a vowel in Roy G. Biv.
 
Your warning systems always jump back and forth between red and orange anyway.
 
1:13 PM
It's that color that women says is blue, but men says is purple.
 
No true man knows the word purple.
 
@RegDwigнt Aber sind wir nicht alle Techniker hier?
@RegDwigнt Purple is nonspectral.
 
@RegDwigнt PURPLE!!!!!!!
 
What? 4000 = trusted user on ELL? Oh, cos it's beta.
 
1:14 PM
beta than all the rest
 
See. And these are guys. Not men.
 
@meer2kat Purple is the ugliest colour.
 
@RegDwigнt There's purple on there.
 
26 secs ago, by RegDwigнt
See. And these are guys. Not men.
 
Damn those XX tetrachromats!
 
1:14 PM
Lots of echo in here.
 
What?
I can't hear you.
My reception must be bad.
 
ear you, ear you, ear you...
 
@MattЭллен alpha beta gamma delta epsilon zeta eta theta iota kappa lambda mu nu ksi omicron pi rho sigma tau upsilon phi chi psi and omega tooooo
 
Oh, you're a sorority girl. Which one?
 
@JasperLoy purple = royalty. purple haters = peasants
 
1:15 PM
It's the alpha and the omega? Oh dear.
 
And the tooooo.
 
@KitFox teehee! I am! Phi Sigma Rho, the engineering sorority. You guessed just by that?
 
@meer2kat Wow, I forgot the Greek alphabet one week after learning.
 
@meer2kat You know the song.
 
The rainbow knows no purple.
Not even under purple rain.
 
1:16 PM
@JasperLoy There's a song for it....it's been stuck in my head ever since
 
It's alpha's and tooooo's kingdom come. And the whirlwind is in the thorn tree.
 
@KitFox Same for you then? If you know the song too...
 
@meer2kat One should know both the Greek and the English pronunciations of the letters of the Greek alphabet.
 
I still don't know the English alphabet.
 
@Mahnax Boo!!!
 
1:17 PM
I have to sing the song in my head all the time.
 
sings happily
 
For the German alphabet, too.
 
dances to the song
 
There's only the Russian alphabet that I really just know.
 
sings the song I don't see how this helps to remember the alphabet
 
1:18 PM
I remember being little and whispering the song to myself in bed in the dark, and then suddenly remembering w, x, which was the part I couldn't get, and being really excited because I finally knew the whole thing.
 
@MattЭллен You shouldn't be singing The Summer of the Diabolical Holocaust.
 
@RegDwigнt oh. sorry. which song are we singing?
 
Letters over the rainbow.
 
@RegDwigнt woah. that's a little different
 
@MattЭллен Íñigo.
 
1:19 PM
@RegDwigнt somewheeeerrrrre over the rainbow....
 
Nonono. Not somewhere. Letters.
 
@tchrist that's not a colour name!
 
Everything is a colour name if we want it to be.
 
letters over the rainbow, weigh a pie.
 
See. Now you know the ABC.
 
1:20 PM
Now I know
 
I found a blog today of someone with my name: italwaysyou.blogspot.com
 
@MattЭллен The OED attests only 477 color-names.
 
@tchrist how colourful
 
What about "dark blue" and "light red"?
Russian has a special word for light blue no other language has.
It's in the rainbow, even.
 
is it cyan?
 
1:22 PM
Nope.
But obviously roughly in the same spot in the spectrum.
 
All colours are in the rainbow, no?
 
@JasperLoy of course not.
 
Since I have joined ELL, I now eagerly await its graduation from beta.
 
Unless you define color as "only stuff that's part of the rainbow", in which case the question is rhetorical.

@JasperLoy Good morning.
 
I will have none of your bywater camel. I'd rather have an absinthe marlboro.
 
Wormwood.
Quel canard.
 
Scrubs
 
Good thing we invented orange before OED shut close the gates.
 
!!wiki wormwood scrubs
 
1:26 PM
Wormwood Scrubs, known locally as The Scrubs, or simply just "Scrubs", is an open space located in the north-eastern corner of the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham in west London. It is the largest open space in the Borough, at 80 ha (200 acres), and one of the largest areas of common land in London. The eastern part, known as Little Wormwood Scrubs, is cut off by Scrubs Lane and the West London Line railway. It has been an open public space since the Wormwood Scrubs Act of 1879. The southern edge of the Scrubs is the site of two locally important buildings. At the western...
 
Orange is always the last color invented.
 
That's another color that can't possibly have been in the rainbow for too long.
 
Orange is also a fruit.
 
It postdates red-tailed hawks and robin redbreast.
And red hair.
 
@JasperLoy it's not the only fruit
 
1:26 PM
Tomato is also a fruit.
 
Mandarin oranges are much sweeter than ordinary oranges.
 
It's just the accent.
 
purple
 
Cherry tomatoes are much smaller than tomatoes.
 
1:27 PM
We hadn’t invented orange yet when we fucked the Neanderthalers and invented red hair.
 
but The Mandarin is evil! so, sweetness must be evil
 
Jasper is much captain than obvious.
 
@MattЭллен eats mandarin orange at her desk
 
Cuties!
 
@meer2kat you are clearly evil
 
1:28 PM
@tchrist If you're talking about the oranges, then mm, yummy.
 
However, everyone knows that my favourite fruit is the banana, lol.
 
@JasperLoy Berry good, Jazmín.
 
Ayup.
 
Tasty.
 
1:29 PM
Cuties = Mandarins, clementines.
Just darlin’.
 
@Mahnax I did not know there were California Mandarins, lol.
 
@MattЭллен sugar and spice and everything sexy.
 
californians are evil
 
@MattЭллен agreed
 
@Mahnax I have just such a thing in my fridge as we speak.
 
1:29 PM
@MattЭллен A Californian bit my sister once.
 
@Mahnax hot
 
@tchrist envious
 
@Mahnax oh no! did she mutate, too?
 
@MattЭллен What do you expect for a state named after hot sex?
 
Why is it refrigerator but not frige?
 
1:30 PM
@JasperLoy Cause that’s English morphology for you.
 
@MattЭллен Sorry, that's confidential.
 
@JasperLoy You must have -dge at the end if you want that sound there.
 
@Mahnax fair enough. I suppose the identity of California Woman must remain a secret
 
@MattЭллен No, no, it's always California man.
 
Sunkist oranges are huge.
 
1:32 PM
Supercalifornicatedexpialadocious.
 
Del Monte bananas are long.
 
@Mahnax that's some mutation!
 
Anyway, time to get going. Have a good day, everyone. Stay away from Californians.
 
You too, @Mahnax
 
@Mahnax Stay away from fornication.
 
1:32 PM
Bon jour.
@JasperLoy Better to fornicate than sheep.
 
If you carefully peel the mandarin orange you can make the peel look like a starfish.
 
Not much activity in the ELL chat.
 
Ack. I write queries on Oracle now and I've apparently forgotten all my SQL Server.
 
@JasperLoy sadly
 
@meer2kat Much easier to peel than normal oranges.
 
1:35 PM
I'm in a math chat discussing the scientific reasoning for the existence of God.
 
@KitFox SELECT * FROM TABLE
 
@JasperLoy And much starfishier
 
@meer2kat With that Sawarnik?
 
@MattЭллен My union isn't working.
 
@JasperLoy yerp
 
1:35 PM
@KitFox give them a raise
 
Watch your step, there, mister.
 
thank you, thank you. try the buffet
 
@meer2kat I also believe your God exists, though I am not Christian.
 
@JasperLoy Oh?
 
@meer2kat Why would you do that?
 
1:36 PM
eats another mandarin orange
 
@meer2kat Yes. To me, he is a being in one of the god realms. These beings are called gods.
 
@KitFox he asked me to explain my beliefs and why
 
Oh. Well, that's on him then.
 
@JasperLoy I'm curious about what you mean
 
Good morning
 
1:37 PM
Good morning @Mr.Shiny.
 
@KitFox Yep. I don't start religious debates. I'm not a bible thumper, but I'll talk when asked
 
@KitFox unions only work if there are the same number and types of columns
 
@meer2kat Well, there are human, animal and god realms among other realms in Buddhist cosmology.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 hello
 
I sense a religious debate.
But I'm staying out of it!
 
1:37 PM
@MattЭллен Maybe because I used asterisk?
 
Have a meowl instead
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 nah i was just asking what his beliefs are
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 it's just kicking off, you got here in time
 
@MattЭллен i see :) interesting
 
gets popcorn
 
1:38 PM
@MattЭллен LOL. Oh no!
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 Lovely picture.
 
bbl
 
@KitFox maybe. I'm not sure ow that affect column ordering. try specifying all the columns, if that's possible
 
@meer2kat Sawarnik is too irritating, I ain't gonna talk to him no more.
 
@KitFox CU
 
So @meer2kat if I have to read only one book on Christianity, what would it be?
 
1:40 PM
@MattЭллен It's funny because I was just discussing with a friend how PZ Myers at Pharyngula posted a link to a poll asking "Is Jesus the Son of God? Yes/No" and his readers clicked through, with predictable results. And then my friend and I discussed all the possible reasons one might have for picking yes or no.
 
@JasperLoy Other than the Bible? I'd read "The Case for a Creator" by Lee Strobel. It examines more of the science-y things
@JasperLoy What about Buddhism stuff? What book would be good?
 
The Bible does not state clearly that Jesus is God, only that he is the son of God.
@meer2kat In the Buddha's Words by Bhikkhu Bodhi.
 
The Muslim scholars always say that Jesus does not claim to be God himself.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 what did you decide?
 
1:42 PM
@JasperLoy LOL Are we talking about God stuff or Jesus stuff? There are two books "The Case for Christ" and "The Case for a Creator" written by a man who used to be an atheist who went through investigative journalism to try to prove that God wasn't real....instead he converted to Christianity. It was cool stuff. Good, interesting read. Lots of facts
@JasperLoy Excellent. I'll check it out sometime
 
@meer2kat Well, in Christianity isn't God approximately equal to Jesus? LOL.
 
@JasperLoy I'm not getting in to a religious debate :)
 
@MattЭллен I decided "no".
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 :D I mean about people's reasons
 
@JasperLoy Yes but the issues are of evidence of a creator (what I'm arguing with Sawarnik about) and evidence that Jesus is the Son of God. Same person, different issues :)
 
1:44 PM
@MattЭллен ah. Well, we cut the decision-tree-making short by posting pictures of owlephants and meowls
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 good call
 
But for example, if you believe that neither Jesus nor God existed, then you should probably answer "yes", because fictional Jesus is fictional God's son just like Kal-El is the son of Jor-El
or if you disbelieve in one of them, you should probably answer "no", because typically fictional relations are not real.
 
@meer2kat Ah, I believe the world came about on its own. In particular the universe expands and contracts.
 
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 interesting
 
Wait, owlephants? Where?
 
1:46 PM
Or you might believe in both of them, but then it depends on your interpretation of "son of God", because that can mean lots of things. Well, typically one of two things. "We are all God's Children" is a common idea, so then the answer is "yes".
 
I hadn't thought of it like that
 
That looks like the 3 witches, lol.
 
Now we're talking.
 
when will those three meet again?
 
1:47 PM
I answered 3 questions on ELL today. I am enjoying myself there, lol.
 
Don't know hwere, don't know hwen. But one sunny day.
 
Wow, the 9 star message is still on the wall, hehe.
Although she sent me 100 kisses, I don't really want them, lol.
I only want a kiss from XXX.
 
@JasperLoy let me ask you a question. When you came pulling in here, did you notice a sign out in front of this chat that said "Jasper's ELL diary"?
Or poo diary, for that matter...
 
@JasperLoy We believe differently. And that's okay :)
 
@RegDwigнt No, only those who believe can see, lol.
 
1:49 PM
@Mr.ShinyandNew安宇 interesting
 
Then she slammed my face, oh I'm a believer...
 
@meer2kat Oh, you don't have to add the second sentence, because that is obvious.
 
@JasperLoy #jealous ;)
@JasperLoy lol that's my way of saying I don't plan to debate the topic :P
 
@meer2kat I currently am in love with someone but if I tell you who I would have to kill you, lol.
 
In Soviet Internet, the topic debates you.
 
1:50 PM
@JasperLoy that's scary!!
 
You don't get to decide.
 
and what can the outcomes be?
 
@meer2kat Well, as usual, it's one-sided. She might even be married by now.
 
@MattЭллен depends on the pin you're looking at.
But mostly ones and zeroes.
 
@JasperLoy that sucks
Alright, I left that room. Little prat that one
 
1:52 PM
@RegDwigнt an all or nothing debate. interesting
 
That is the way of the Internet.
 
Reduced to tears relative clause.

A: "'n'" as an abbreviation for "and" as in "rock 'n' roll"

Insightful.
 
So far, this is my favourite chat room.
 
1:54 PM
Well you ain't getting no 100 kisses from strangers on every corner.
Certainly not on the Internet.
 
Nah, I only want kisses from XXX.

@matt should know who XXX is, lol.

Hm. I was silly enough to google image for "Simpsons XXX jar".
 
@MattЭллен Among all the girls I liked, XXX resembles me the most, lol.
 
Well. Ain't doing that ever again folks.
 
@JasperLoy really?
 
@RegDwigнt And what if he did?
 
1:57 PM
@RegDwigнt noted
 
@MattЭллен Yes. We both look like Justin Bieber.
 
@Mitch then he'd say "yes". And we'd change the signage.
 
@JasperLoy If you say so
 
Oh FFS, "Family Guy XXX jar" is much, much worse. Heavens.
 
@RegDwigнt sign painters ordered
 
1:58 PM
@RegDwigнt lol
 
@Mitch Mr Tourette has long signed up.
 
@MattЭллен That looks like Johan Larsson, lol.
