Kidding, kidding.

phew

sheaths sword

You fence?

@Cerberus Oh hello there.

@Ashen No, but I punish infidels.

@Mahnax Sorry for the Apple bashing, again.

The days where people normally carried swords on their belts would have been cool.

Luckily you weren't there, hehe.

@Ashen Cool, in a way.

They would also often be lacking one or two limbs.

@Cerberus I would have said something, you were all bashing Robusto.

Now we just have pistols, and we're not even allowed to show them off or the police get called

@Mahnax Yeah it got a little ugly.

@Cerberus I doubt it. I'm talking Renaissance-age, where rapiers or cut and thrust swords were in fashion. A wound from that would either be a straight puncture or (less likely) a cut

A would from?

Ohh a wound.

@Cerberus We should all attempt to achieve peace with one another.

@Ashen Well OK.

Then again, what fun is that?

@Mahnax But man is built for war...

@Cerberus Yeah, yeah. Je sais, minä tiedän.

Hmm what is that again?

Which?

@Ashen By the way, are you aware of the fact that you can edit previous messages by pressing the Up key while in an empty typing box?

@Mahnax Minä tiedän?

@Cerberus Multilingual reduplication.

It means "I know".

@Cerberus Yeah, but I still reflexively hit 'k' instead (vi style).

Hey @Matt!

hi @Mahnax :)

@Mahnax Ahh!

Nice.

@MattЭллен What dost thou today?

@Ashen Ah! So you're one of these legendary Vi'ers.

@MattЭллен Hi!

@Cerberus Yes, yes.

@Cerberus last I checked vi users weren't endangered

@Mahnax today? play truant :P I'm a bad role model

@Cerberus hiya doggie :D

@MattЭллен le gasp

@MattЭллен Truant from what?

@Mahnax technically I will take it as holiday

@Mahnax work

@MattЭллен le gasp²

@Mahnax I have friends who encouraged me to miss my last train home yesterday

@MattЭллен Heh, nice.

@Ashen But they're still legendary! Because it is supposed to be the ultimate text editors for hardcore what-are-yous?

Wooooo. School time, bye!

cya @Mahnax

@Cerberus You've already brought up Apple vs. The World, you'll be throttled if you bring up vi vs. emacs

Bye Bob!

because emacs is best

@Ashen Don't worry, I have no position on that topic.

Holla atcha.

@JasperLoy Muwahaha!

@MattЭллен I tried using it but the lack of a trained pet spider kinda threw me off

hola @KitFox

You skipped out on w-rk?

@Ashen yeah. the trained spiders are not GPL licensed to stallman won't allow them to be bundled with emacs

@Ashen Perhaps you should have used a big spider: you can't not love those guys.

@KitFox 6/8ths of it

@Cerberus is that a spider taking down a bird

@MattЭллен Good for you.

I presume the bird got caught in its web.

Cute bird. And awesome spider.

Yeah they make a cute pair.

And hi!

I'm going to have nightmares now.

@KitFox heh, you sound like my friend. He said "nah, you deserve to take time off". I'm not sure where he got the idea from

@MattЭллен You are a wolf, on the hunt. You need time to prepare.

@JasperLoy Take down as in catch it in its web? I think so, but I'm not sure. Perhaps only young, small birds?

It’s kind of funny, isn’t it? The cuter something is, the better it tastes, and yet we find cuteness so disarming. :P

@KitFox Sorry love.

@JonPurdy Nah. Pigs aren't that cute.

@JonPurdy Perhaps that's why those things are cute: because they know cuteness is the only thing that could possibly stop us.

@JasperLoy Eww!

@KitFox I like pigs!

Ham and bacon are different.

Yeah I rarely eat any pork other than Ham & Bacon.

@JasperLoy That goes without saying.

I don’t eat much meat to begin with…so I really have to be in the mood for anything heavy like pork or beef. Poultry and fish are where it’s at anyway.

♫ alpha, beta, gamma, delta, epsilon ♪ zeta, eta, theta, iota, kappa lambda, mu nu ♫

Finally, sorority membership pays off.

Or if we’re going Germanic today, “pig”, “cow”, and “birds”.

Yuck.

Pig and cow are for me.

yum

@MattЭллен Aww.

@JasperLoy Ding!

OK, maybe pigs are a little cute.

@Cerberus yeah :D

I think I like the coffee cup better though.

I'd still eat them though

@KitFox What kind of sorority were you with? Or aren't there "kinds"?

@Cerberus Kind? I am not sure what kind. It was the loser sorority on campus, if that's what you mean.

Oh haha.

OK. I just have no idea how sororities work in America.

@KitFox robot house?

@MattЭллен No. Just all of the stupidest girls you can find at a third rate state school.

@KitFox and you

you must have been their leader

@MattЭллен And me, because my 4.2 average kept them from getting kicked off of campus that year.

because of your smarts

I brought the average GPA up to 2.0.

:O

Which is why they accepted me.

@JasperLoy I don't think so

Not because I was cool or anything.

but you are

@KitFox how do you have a GPA higher than 4.0

Although to be fair, I really wasn't cool then.

@Ashen Some places use a 0.0–5.0 scale.

@Ashen I went to a third rate state school my last year of college.

Huh.

@JonPurdy No, I just had a lot of A plusses.

Pluses? Plusses?

Yeah, my vocational counts-for-credit classes bumped my current GPA up to 3.9

Plusses.

Thank you.

@KitFox Oh. You curve-breaker, you.

[[1]](thefreedictionary.com/plusses)

It was a pathetic school.

Really awful.

huh

wonder why that link won't parse

Metathesis always sounds like a lisped version of metastasis. :(

I have been to community colleges that had more rigorous education.

pulses <- hope for red squigley

Hahaha.

here is quite a good video

I dunno what my GPA is exactly…probably a lot worse than I’d like.

So anyway, the girls in the sorority were taking classes like Eng 101 and Psych 101 and failing them, which is sad enough, but when you consider that the tests were all multiple choice, it makes you realize just how effing stupid they were.

I’m a terrible student, mainly because I’m more interested in learning than in busywork.

@KitFox holy eff

That is delicious.

@MattЭллен Oh! That's the same thing they are using for spray-on skin grafts, right?

@KitFox hmm. I don't know. it's meant to be like a fabric - but it seems harmless, so possibly

I don't know how toxic it is, whether you can spray it on to open wounds

The dumbest of the dumb girls was sure that she was going to drive to Onslow, Norway to visit her mom and her mom's new boyfriend, but didn't know what I was talking about because she didn't need a visa, her mom was paying for it, and probably she would have no problem getting into the country without a passport because the boyfriend was a pilot.

lol

oh god it hurts

@KitFox To be fair Norway has a visa exemption agreement with the US

She also told me about this really nice guy she was dating who bought her these awesome spike heels to wear on their first date, and he kept buying her Mind Erasers, wasn't that sweet?

Mind Erasers?

@Ashen Well, good.

@Ashen It's a kind of alcoholic beverage.

Onslow, Norway

Oh.

Vodka and Kahlua if I'm not mistaken.

@MattЭллен "Please do not "hot link" image. Thank you"

@KitFox Vodka, Kahlua, and tonic.

God that sounds gross.

Anyway, she was surprised that he didn't call her again after their first date, because he had been so nice and all.

I don’t think the recipe I found meant tonic…I think they meant seltzer.

@KitFox I didn't hot link. harumph. that's clearly a normal link. I'm not stealin her bandwidthz

Because quinine isn’t the most popular flavour in the world.

Onslow

Further research indicates it can be either.

@JonPurdy I agree that seltzer is probably better, but fizzy Kahlua sounds awful.

@KitFox I’ll reserve judgement till I try it.

So men, what is a good sweaty, man film?

One that men would like to watch because it makes them feel manly?

Fight Club

Hmm...I think I even have that on DVD.

makes note

It might be too deep though.

Maybe Snatch would be better.

The Transporter

oh, yeah, that sort of thing.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 I love that movie, but not available via streaming from Netflix.

I call it the hard-core porn of action films.

what's the one where he has to keep his adrenaline pumping or he dies?

@KitFox yeah, that it is

@MattЭллен crank

ah yes

that's the one

In other words, a series of crazy-ass fight scenes loosely strung together with some sort of vague plot.

I think I've seen transporter 2

I only watched Transporter and Transporter 2. T2 was so ... silly that I couldn't bear to watch crank or transporter 3

or crank 2

@KitFox that is exactly like that

I haven't even heard of Crank.

@KitFox don't forget banging the hot asian girl

Oh right.

Anyway, like that, but available on Netflix or as something I already own.

I love the fact that in transporter 2 they let Statham just drop the accent half way through

transporter 2 was a good example of really, really bad filmmaking.

Fight Club might do it, but the plot might get in the way. I'm not sure.

hmmm

You can tell that they spent all their time trying to come up with fancier car stunts and shit, and spent absolutely no time at all on plot or dialog or filmmaking.

Hard, glistening men bodies fighting each other with tearing shirts and blood.

Like, the bad guy is fencing at the beginning of the movie. I expected a friggin' sword fight later. Nope.

:D

@KitFox presumably some boxing movie would have that.

...

@KitFox predator?

I've only seen Cinderella Man, so I can't comment on boxing films

They'd probably be wearing gay helmets in boxing movies.

hi @Cerberus :)

Hi!

yo.

@MattЭллен "Run, go, get to the choppah!" Too distracting.

I was watching some videos on the Guardian.

What about the first two Die Hard movies?

Linked to from your videos, which was also very interesting.

@Cerberus what did you see?

:)

Bus driver deliberately shoving a cyclist to the side, really hard.

oh yeha, I saw that too

"Yippee kaiyay, motherfucker." Maybe.

@Cerberus really bad

And Anonymous announcing they will punish Zetas.

@MattЭллен Yeah, pretty weird. Though the cyclist seemed to be taunting the bus and blocking its way...but that's still hardly a reason to potentially kill someone.

I wonder if Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon would work.

@Cerberus indeed

@Cerb Is Robusto mad?

@KitFox Isn't the villain a girl in that movie? Or something. I seem to recall a girl fighting.

@SonicTheHedgehog Sometimes he has a bad day, like the rest of us.

@SonicTheHedgehog Nah he was just annoyed, which I can understand.

Ah, I see.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Um, yeah-ish. There are girl martial artists.

I was teasing him.

I mean, Apple is between Ok and Excellent...

Don't you start too!

Hey, I'm Win lover.

But I HAVE to use Mac at school.

They tortured me,

and they brainwashed me!

brawls hysterically

It's too bad, really, because when I was trying to think of good "Men who love movies" movies, @Robusto was the first person I thought I should ask.

You have to? Why on earth?

@Cerb sob they-they only have Mac!!!

cries

Oh, the fixed desktop computers?

@KitFox I guess I'm not sure what you mean by "a manly movie"... would Layer Cake count? Ocean's 11? The Italian Job?

That's awful. Who would do that?

Its-Its Horrible!

Mouse is terrible,

Keyboards are faulty!

And don't even get me started on the TaskBar!

Eww.

I really can't understand why a school would spend public money on wildly expensive computers.

@MrShinyandNew安宇 I don't know about Layer Cake. Really more action film than The Italian Job and Ocean's 11. More like maybe gladiator films.

Or isn't it public money?

Worse, Obama made some kind of freiken law that you have to have A in tech to pass the year,

And they put a FRIEKIN COVER ON KEYBOARD

@Cerberus They are practically free for schools.

So that we won't able to see the keyboard,
