7:00 PM

I think you meant he's old because he doesn't sleep.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

@MattЭллен ergo Chuck Norris is far from dead.

Matt Эллен

true

RegDwight Ѭſ道

@Gigili that's what the cosmetics industry would have you believe.

Gigili

Hello Kit.

KitFox

@MattЭллен Pictish. Norwegian kings. That's me.

Hello sweetie.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

7:02 PM

They keep telling you, if you don't sleep much, you'll get all wrinkly, mimimi. What they don't tell you is that if you do get some sleep every day, you will die!

Jez

@KitFox I was the one who called you german.

(ic)

Mahnax

Hey Mrs. Kit.

KitFox

@Jez Yes, and I am also Teutonic.

But Matt said Viking, which was closer.

@Mahnax Hola.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Vikings are always closer. And closer. And closer.

Matt Эллен

Aye did at that

KitFox

7:04 PM

What did I walk into?

Mahnax

@KitFox How's things?

KitFox

OK. How are you feeling about your lab marks?

Gigili

@RegDwightѬſ道 If you don't get some sleep everyday, you will die as well, maybe just a minute later. A wise man would do the former.

Mahnax

@KitFox Well, I was pretty mad at myself.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@Gigili You should tell this to Cerb

Mahnax

7:05 PM

But it doesn't count for marks and I did better than the teacher predicted, so I'll take it.

Next time I will do much better.

KitFox

I'm sure you will, but don't be too hard on yourself.

It's hard to really know how much effort is expected if you've never done it before.

Mahnax

That's true.

KitFox

And people who do this stuff for a living take many months to design, conduct, analyze, and write up their experiments.

Matt Эллен

I'm going to go and be social. wish me luck!

Mahnax

Good luck!

KitFox

7:07 PM

@MattЭллен Good luck!

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@MattЭллен Good riddance! er. I mean, luck! yeah luck. lucky us! er, I mean... lucky you! get lucky! something. I dunno. Can I go home yet?

Gigili

Maybe if you er again, we'll let you go home.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

Speaking of ering, or erring, or erroring, I finally got a 10th vote on that "errored" question. In your face, Shinto Sherlock!

does anyone in this room even remember Shinto? I'd guess not.

KitFox

I heard tell of him.

Mahnax

What was he?

KitFox

7:10 PM

But only because Reg told some folks that he was finally gone.

@Mahnax A bad egg.

Troll.

Mahnax

@KitFox Rude?

KitFox

@Mahnax Very much.

Mahnax

@KitFox That's too bad. Did he have much rep?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

He was kinda rude. Very abrasive. His questions and answers were okay though.

KitFox

There are still some remnants of him around, although his name is "delete" now.

And he had a few other names in the interim, so you can't always tell by the @s.

Mahnax

7:13 PM

Ah, that's who delete is.

Was he kicked or was it self-deletion?

KitFox

Well, there are probably others named delete as well.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

He changed his name to "Ex-user" at some point. then someone (maybe him) changed it to "delete"

KitFox

I think that's part of the self-deletion process, isn't it?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

He quit in frustration that A) nobody could believe that he was the smartest guy here, and also B) some clueless answers would get upvoted or accepted.

KitFox

But he was a total jerk about it, right?

I remember him as Ex-user, but I came in late in the game.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

7:16 PM

He was kinda a jerk. I don't know if he was a total jerk. I kinda liked having him around despite his flaws.

KitFox

Wasn't he really mean to Martha and kiam?

Gigili

The name will be "user3928793834" after self-deletion.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Mar 4 '11 at 13:29, by RegDwight

Kinopiko -> Shinto Sherlock -> Ex-User -> Kinopiko -> Master Of Disaster.

Append delete.

KitFox

Danke, Reg.

RegDwight Ѭſ道

Mar 4 '11 at 13:28, by RegDwight

No. He never got banned. He just left over a disagreement with Kosmonaut.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

7:18 PM

@KitFox I don't recall, specifically. But his style of disagreement could be disagreeable.

Gigili

How did you know they will ask these questions so you answered them last year?

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

@Gigili Reg never says anything new. He just quotes old things he already said.

KitFox

You can't spell "precog" without Reg.

And cop.

Gigili

@MrShinyandNew安宇 Boringly exciting.

simchona

> appreciate your explanation, which I have asked to you because you are my friend, while the other people hates me. I know that you are my friend because your comments are always serious and moderated. Other people, instead, use insulting me with irony or sarcasm. – Carlo_R. 35 mins ago

KitFox

7:20 PM

I think Carlo needs to find an ESL community.

Maybe with kids his own age.

Mr. Shiny and New 安宇

How old is he?

Gigili

40?

Mahnax

I would guess around 25.

Maybe I'm way off.

simchona

Ugh. His comments annoy me. As does repeatedly asking for my gender. And my "photography".

Jez

> "Danish researchers [damn good people, us Danes], have even discovered that by wearing socks during sex, twice as many women can achieve orgasm."

KitFox

7:23 PM

I'd put him between 16 and 20, given his behavior.

Mahnax

@simchona He does that?

Wow.

I have to make a video using movie clips, what's a good movie?

I don't watch many.

Meysam Ѭſ道

@Mahnax The Shawshank Redemption is a good movie

Mahnax

@MeysamѬſ道 That just reminded me of Schindler's list.

KitFox

A movie about what?

Mahnax

Maybe I will use that.

@KitFox Anything.

Well, school-appropriate.

KitFox

7:27 PM

Anything? That's pretty broad.

Mahnax

I would have to be careful with Schindler's list.

@KitFox Yeah.

KitFox

How about a Star Trek-Brokeback Mountain mashup?

Mahnax

Yech.

simchona

@Mahnax Yeah, check the transcripts from last night

Meysam Ѭſ道

@Mahnax Amores Perros is a good movie too

KitFox

7:28 PM

Or a Skyrim joke mashup.

Mahnax

@MeysamѬſ道 Never heard of it.

@simchona OK.

simchona

@Mahnax He also said, at one point "I love you" and such

Meysam Ѭſ道

@Mahnax That's the best movie I have ever seen indeed

simchona

I do not think it means what he thinks it means.

KitFox

Perfect! The Princess Bride. There you go, @Mahnax.

Classic.

Mahnax

7:30 PM

@simchona Odd... Still trying to find it.

Oh, found.

simchona

@Mahnax Check around Matt's starred message re "I would not..."

Mitch

@simchona Yeah, I don't get it either.

KitFox

Oh, here's an idea: take some apocalyptic movie segments and make a music video with "I Feel the Earth Move" by Carol King.

simchona

@Mitch He pings you every chance he gets

KitFox

OK. I'm off to take a nap.

Mitch

7:31 PM

@simchona Exactly. His expectations are just way inappropriate.

Mahnax

@KitFox Ooh, that would be cool.

KitFox

Later.

Mahnax

Maybe I'll use Rick Astley music.

KitFox

Hahaha. Even better.

simchona

@Mitch He decided that every single question in chat needed to be answered by me. In a private room. When I was already trying to ignore him.

He was rude to Andrew too--

Q: 'Gypsy' and 'gipsy'

As the Oxford Online Dictionary says "Gypsy can also be spelled Gipsy, with an i: both are correct." Also, as the Oxford Online Dictionary adds respect their origin, the above words "mid 16th century: originally gipcyan, short for Egyptian (because Gypsies were popularly supposed to have come fr...

Mahnax

7:35 PM

I thought I had made amends with Carlo, but his behaviour is too inappropriate and rude for such things.

I hold him in contempt.
