@MartinBüttner I spruced up Alex. 10 coming shortly

Alex A.

You did what to me?

PhiNotPi

He spruced you up.

Zach Gates

Maltysen

Alex A.

I didn't realize you felt that way about me, Calvin.

Geobits

Oct 12, 2015 03:51

Spruced is better than firred.

PhiNotPi

> You just got spruced! You have to spruce somebody else in the next 5 seconds or you'll be spruced for life!

Zach Gates

@PhiNotPi Spooky

Alex A.

@Geobits Well they're both hardwoods, right?

Calvin's Hobbies

@AlexA. I suppose technically I made you expand linearly, not exponentially

Justin

Well, if you remember "sharp square spruce" and "flat friendly fir", it becomes much easier to recognize the different trees by the needles. I'd rather be flat and friendly than sharp and square. I think...

Geobits

Oct 12, 2015 03:52

They're softwood like most evergreens I think.

Justin

Most evergreens are softwood? Is redwood hardwood?

Zach Gates

@Calvin'sHobbies

Geobits

@Justin According to a random link, at least, it's also softwood: diffen.com/difference/Hardwood_vs_Softwood

Justin

Okay

4

@ZachGates Wait... are you a skeleton?!

Zach Gates

I was that night

PhiNotPi

Oct 12, 2015 03:55

Alex R "softwood" A.

Geobits

alex-is-soft ?

Justin

Geez. Who starred my "okay" message? I was acknowledging @Geobits and realizing that I learned something new.

PhiNotPi

sure-why-not?

Zach Gates

alex-has-soft-wood

Daniel M.

You've been very knotty

PhiNotPi

Daniel M.

Oakay

Justin

Firget it. I'm leafing.

Alex A.

This is all I have to say to the current conversation: ಠ_ಠ

Calvin's Hobbies

Wood you guys stop it?

Maltysen

Oct 12, 2015 03:58

@AlexA. I think its time fಠr the bಠಠkmarklet.

Zach Gates

@Justin leafing*

Daniel M.

This conversation has really branched out

Alex A.

I'm bamboozled.

2

PhiNotPi

Chat logs last forever.

Zach Gates

can't yew guys stop it already

you all came out of the woodwork for this one

Daniel M.

Oct 12, 2015 04:00

gah it doesn't load the picture

Alex A.

Hovering over that link I saw the words "panda pregnancy" and decided not to click it

Justin

I'm pining for the smell of pines...

I miss pine trees. They smell good....

Alex A.

I'm surrounded by them

@DanielM. Fixed it for you

Zach Gates

these puns are so old I sawdust on them

i'm knot kidding..

Geobits

The area here is littered with pine farms. They're weirdly aggravating.

@ZachGates I cedar dust, too.

Daniel M.

Oct 12, 2015 04:02

Thanks

Zach Gates

@Geobits should we clean them? it's your deciduous

Daniel M.

Poor sap

Alex A.

Maple syrup

Am I doing it right?

Geobits

@ZachGates I like how you're reaching for the upper branches with that one, but I think it needs to be a little more rooted.

Zach Gates

these puns are starting to seem pretty shady to me

@Geobits you're barking up the wrong tree

Geobits

Oct 12, 2015 04:05

No, that's my dog.

He obviously thought it was a dogwood. >_>

Zach Gates

sir, have you been drinking tonight

Justin

I'm falling over with laughter. I think I should leaf.

Zach Gates

you seem trunk

Doorknob

Why don't we just get to the root of the issue and stop making these tree puns?

Zach Gates

@Justin what would you do that fir?

Doorknob

Oct 12, 2015 04:05

(also, @AlexA. I'm still playing Nethack and I'm at Mines' End. :P)

Geobits

Pine, pine, I'll stop.

Alex A.

@Doorknob How does vyoo?

PhiNotPi

At least this is better than a bunch of "linked list" puns.

Zach Gates

@Doorknob but.. yew just can't beat a good, rooted pun..

Justin

@ZachGates To finish my essay which I'm procrastinating.

Zach Gates

Oct 12, 2015 04:06

@Doorknob they're always poplar

Doorknob

@AlexA. ssh [email protected]

or telnet nethack.alt.org but that's slower

Geobits

@PhiNotPi That sounds like a terrible bunch of puns to iterate through.

Alex A.

@Doorknob vyoo yoo i meen

Doorknob

@AlexA. Hit w in the main menu

Daniel M.

@Geobits Yeah, but it's better than facing an array of criticisms.

Justin

Oct 12, 2015 04:07

Ash it. We've got to cypress these puns.

Doorknob

my username is KeyboardFire

Calvin's Hobbies

Why does chrome not know "orthogonally" >:(

Alex A.

@Geobits I think they're gr-array-t.

Geobits

Ouch.

Alex A.

...

PhiNotPi

Oct 12, 2015 04:08

This list of puns is really starting to stack up.

Doorknob

Yeah, there's a heap of them.

Alex A.

I'm going to pop

Zach Gates

LOL

Geobits

If you made them a tree....

Daniel M.

You should probably *point this conversation in the right direction

El'endia Starman

Oct 12, 2015 04:08

...just keep pushing them, guys...

Geobits

I've got a whole set of them!

El'endia Starman

Push those limits...

Alex A.

Ah man, I overflowed everywhere.

6

Zach Gates

I've lost an appendage from all this typing

Daniel M.

@AlexA. Oh node!

Doorknob

Oct 12, 2015 04:09

something something associative array

El'endia Starman

@AlexA. I'd extend a hand to help, but that depends on WHAT overflowed...

Zach Gates

^

Geobits

Woah, that's out of bounds.

Daniel M.

@El'endiaStarman Stack Overflow(ed)?

Alex A.

@El'endiaStarman Don't worry about it. My garbage collector will take care of the mess for me.

Zach Gates

Oct 12, 2015 04:10

an inappropriate element

El'endia Starman

@DanielM. Well, if that happened, he needs to empty his stack.

Justin

@AlexA. You should clear to ensure it gets cleaned sooner.

Geobits

And flush

Daniel M.

What if it isEmpty() already?

Calvin's Hobbies

These are getting bad

Geobits

Oct 12, 2015 04:11

Is yours an exception?

Zach Gates

these puns are the best thing since sliced bread

Justin

It's not like we have size able puns coming around here.

Daniel M.

@Geobits Yeah, maybe you should throw it out

Zach Gates

[insert pun here]

El'endia Starman

Dangit, you took insert.

PhiNotPi

Oct 12, 2015 04:12

There is quite a bit of humor going on in this room right now.

Daniel M.

Though this conversation may have run it's length

Zach Gates

@El'endiaStarman at least it was a good one

Alex A.

Byte me.

Geobits

Man, this is just circular.

Justin

@Geobits Did you link up with yourself?

El'endia Starman

Oct 12, 2015 04:13

Sooner or later, this will link back to the beginning.

Dangit, Justin. Ninja'd.

Alex A.

Nah, we'll break eventually.

Geobits

Please, continue.

Daniel M.

@AlexA. Maybe a nibble?

Zach Gates

i'm starting a countdown 'til this is over

Justin

@DanielM. Better spelling: "nybble"

PhiNotPi

Oct 12, 2015 04:14

Keep it classy.

El'endia Starman

Or we could play a game of Chomp...

Doorknob

@El'endiaStarman I like the graphic on that page

Daniel M.

This is becoming too abstract

El'endia Starman

@DanielM. Oh, fine! You're not allowed in the mathematician's group anymore!

PhiNotPi

TBH, they seen rather primitive.

Zach Gates

Oct 12, 2015 04:15

spooky fact: there is at least one living skeleton within 10 feet of you

Justin

This is getting out of hand. We should take it somewhere better

Geobits

@ZachGates That's either not true or not spooky.

Daniel M.

@El'endiaStarman I don't know, it's going virtually nowhere.

Zach Gates

@Geobits why not zoidberg

Justin

@DanielM. We should override it.

El'endia Starman

Oct 12, 2015 04:16

@Justin Feel free to post an appropriate link.

@DanielM. At least it's not as pointless as topology...

PhiNotPi

@Geobits true XOR spooky

Justin

We should totally drop this and try JQuery.

Daniel M.

@ZachGates Is it the final countdown?

Alex A.

Boodle doo doo, boodle doo doo doo

El'endia Starman

@Justin Except ...actually, yeah, jQuery is cool.

Zach Gates

Oct 12, 2015 04:17

@DanielM. The Final Count: Down

El'endia Starman

He bytes too. (Shameless re-use!)

Justin

It might take_while to get my essay done if I'm sort of still partition of this conversation...

Geobits

@El'endiaStarman No reuse! I'm going to have to have a word in private.

El'endia Starman

@Geobits If there's dirty laundry, air it out in public.

Alex A.

This is a public class though

Daniel M.

Oct 12, 2015 04:18

@Geobits Hopefully that won't take a long time, though

Alex A.

crap, ninja'd

@DanielM. It'll be long long.

El'endia Starman

@AlexA. Twice! "class" was used before too (two?).

Alex A.

I blame gravity

PhiNotPi

I don't get that reference.

Geobits

I'd rather blame gravituy.

El'endia Starman

Oct 12, 2015 04:19

@PhiNotPi Here, let me give you a helpful pointer.

Justin

I'm struggling to find more puns.

@El'endiaStarman xkcd.com/138

Alex A.

@Geobits I don't know where you would have heard that...

Daniel M.

@Justin I bet that you can import some puns from overseas

El'endia Starman

@Justin Truth!

Geobits

@AlexA. It was only there for a short time, I know.

Alex A.

Oct 12, 2015 04:20

It's nul now

Daniel M.

@AlexA. and void

Geobits

I think you need a double L.

El'endia Starman

This punversation is rather interesting!

Zach Gates

@DanielM. overseas? i sea..

Alex A.

@Geobits nil

El'endia Starman

Oct 12, 2015 04:20

And very in-character for us too.

Justin

Maybe I should switch off my computer just in case I want to get something done tonight...

Or else I'll just close the tab?

Daniel M.

@Justin or just take a break

Geobits

@Justin That seems like the default way to get any work done.

Justin

@DanielM. Already used

Zach Gates

@DanielM. those overseas puns must be flooding in

what am i even saying, geez

Justin

Oct 12, 2015 04:21

All this punning around is too much fun

Alex A.

while we're at it, we should discuss hotdogs I guess

El'endia Starman

@ZachGates ...I don't get that one, actually.

Alex A.

^

Geobits

Why would we do that?

Zach Gates

@El'endiaStarman re-read it

El'endia Starman

Oct 12, 2015 04:22

@AlexA. ... for what reason?

Justin

for no reason at all @Geobits

Alex A.

@Geobits for shits and giggles

Calvin's Hobbies

@MartinBüttner Added task 10

Geobits

Wow, three fors :D That's like... twelve.

4

Justin

:D

PhiNotPi

Oct 12, 2015 04:22

Time to return to our punning.

Alex A.

Use the force.

Justin

goto jail. Do not pass go. Do not collect 200 dollars.

Alex A.

Didn't realize that was a Monopoly reference at first. Thought you were calling us criminals.

Daniel M.

When this is over, someone really needs to bookmark this convo

Alex A.

No

Geobits

Oct 12, 2015 04:23

Oh, it's a recurring thing.

El'endia Starman

@ZachGates Ahhh, I see. So it was a wash at first, but I'm glad you cleared that up.

Alex A.

This is usual

Daniel M.

@AlexA. Well, that's cops and robbers

Zach Gates

@El'endiaStarman it was a whale of a pun

El'endia Starman

It's the first time I've seen a pun thread.

Alex A.

Oct 12, 2015 04:24

BATHTUB

Justin

This is begining to get long. Wonder when we'll end it

Geobits

Hopefully we get to the base case soon and can exit the whole thing.

El'endia Starman

@ZachGates Came rolling in like a tide!

Zach Gates

@El'endiaStarman wade.. water you saying?

Alex A.

My life hurts.

El'endia Starman

Oct 12, 2015 04:25

@ZachGates These puns have been a veritable tsunami! Y'know?

Geobits

Poor lil birdy :(

PhiNotPi

I sea where this is going.

Zach Gates

@El'endiaStarman dam you

Justin

@AlexA. What do you mean? Are you okay?

Alex A.

Haha yes

El'endia Starman

Oct 12, 2015 04:25

@AlexA. Now's a good time for you to use your index finger... (finally!)

Alex A.

The puns are slowly killing me

Justin

@El'endiaStarman You didn't manage to catch your use of "finally"

Alex A.

@Doorknob You missed the roti!

Zach Gates

@DanielM. let's call that one a tide..

Justin

@AlexA. Why are you talking about food? I'm so confused.

Alex A.

Oct 12, 2015 04:26

@Justin He tryed

Geobits

When did the water puns start? Isle jump in later, but it seems so sudden.

Doorknob

@AlexA. the wut

El'endia Starman

@ZachGates I alwety used that one.

Sp3000

Chat's gone somewhat weird - why are all the words bold ?

Alex A.

@Doorknob Roach?

Clear question with examples

Oct 12, 2015 04:27

I flagged comments as obsolete on the cnr post

Doorknob

@AlexA. I did what now?

Zach Gates

@El'endiaStarman i fished it back out

Justin

@Doorknob en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roti_prata en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roti_john

Geobits

@Sp3000 Because people don't know how to properly use italics.

El'endia Starman

@AlexA. For a moment, I thought you said rot. Thus going back to the tree puns.

Geobits

Oct 12, 2015 04:28

Tree puns? I've counted way more than tree.

Sp3000

Whatever ~~your fancy~~ I guess

Daniel M.

We're all going to the fishes.

El'endia Starman

@Geobits They jutted in. Like a peninsula!

Alex A.

@Doorknob You missed the roathe or roach or roti or something

Zach Gates

@El'endiaStarman which peninsula? be more pacific

Doorknob

Oct 12, 2015 04:29

@AlexA. Oh, you're watching my Nethack game now?

Maltysen

Alex A.

And you got bitten

Doorknob

Justin

@AlexA. You are making me really hungry

Alex A.

Roti is guud

Maltysen

Oct 12, 2015 04:29

Alex A.

gಠಠd

@Maltysen ?

El'endia Starman

@AlexA. I'll bet the teeth sunk in rather painfully, eh?

Alex A.

@Doorknob Yes, have been for a bit

Is there a way I can send messages and heckle you while you play?

Justin

Roti John is good. Roti Prata is also really good. Roti * is really good.

Doorknob

ok, well a werewolf is trying to eat me right now

Daniel M.

Oct 12, 2015 04:30

@Doorknob Shia LaBoeuf?

Justin

@Doorknob Feed him the roti.

Geobits

I'm glad I could kick this off with a little fir pun, but it's bedtime now. Later!

Doorknob

Yes. If you're logged in, you can press m to send a mail daemon in-game :P

@DanielM. actual cannibal, Shia LaBoeuf

Alex A.

@Geobits Goodbyte!

Justin

@Geobits 'Night! Hope your sleep is uninterrupted.

Zach Gates

Oct 12, 2015 04:30

@Geobits catch ya later

Alex A.

@Doorknob Stab it in his kidneys

Geobits

Oi! Don't ping me so much! :P

Doorknob

@AlexA., there's a bird who wants to claw my eyes out. Is that you? :P

Alex A.

@Geobits No

@Doorknob whistles

Doorknob

ok I bravely ran away

Alex A.

Oct 12, 2015 04:31

Also lol @ "Doog"

Justin

@Doorknob Think you'd make a good Spathi?

El'endia Starman

Eventually, someone will finalize this punversation.

Doorknob

A good what now?

Alex A.

@Justin Is that one of those baths for old people?

Justin

@Doorknob @AlexA. SPOILER ALERT Star Control 2

El'endia Starman

Zach Gates

@El'endiaStarman shell I stop making puns? seariously?

Daniel M.

@El'endiaStarman After all that's been constructed?

El'endia Starman

Yes...yes...let the puns flow!

Zach Gates

Justin

@ZachGates Don't stop, even if you have to bash your head with your hand to come up with more.

Zach Gates

Oct 12, 2015 04:33

the struggle

Daniel M.

You might think that making all of these puns is crazy... But there's a method to my madness.

El'endia Starman

@DanielM. Seems to be quite functional, then.

Doorknob

/me briefly considers robbing all these shops...

Alex A.

@Doorknob What is a "thaumaturd"?

Maltysen

but is there an object to all this?

Justin

Oct 12, 2015 04:34

Okay, I really need to exit now. 'night.

Daniel M.

Just stop with all the arguments!

Doorknob

ugh I ran right into a snake

Alex A.

@Justin Goodnight!

Doorknob

@AlexA. ... you mean a Thaumaturge?

Maltysen

El'endia Starman

El'endia Starman

You keep coming back for more!

Daniel M.

@Doorknob What prompted it to?

Doorknob

uhh it likes biting things I guess

Alex A.

Oct 12, 2015 04:38

@Doorknob I'm not sure whether your actual dog is harassing actual police or if there are dogs in NetHack.

El'endia Starman

@AlexA. The latter.

Doorknob
