cans of Mountain Dew!
madwingnut: anti-science? that's sad...few ppl like science at mercy either
lizardlizard42: we specialize
in "anti-progress"
MacMan5000: fun is running on
two *cases* of mountain dew!
quahog211: :-)
Ogs731: btw, speaking of
mountain dew, I gave up sodas altogether
madwingnut: one of my friends took a prism to class and my mortal enemy said loudly "i hate
people who like science"
timlu42: Ooo... I ought to bow
down to the greater man
madwingnut: she's always saying things like that
lizardlizard42: dudes... you're
both wrong... fun is going nuts on the F&G with 5 min before
class AND with 2 cases of MD in your sys
timlu42: Hey, cool... you have
a mortal enemy!
madwingnut: what is F&G and MD
lizardlizard42: F&G
series...
lizardlizard42:

hatchey....wonder what happened to that kid....lol.
timlu42: except maybe once...
but that was a social occaision! I swear!
madwingnut: there's only 5 ppl in my ap physics class...even though i tried to talk all my
friends into it
MacMan5000: lol, peer pressure
getting to you?
madwingnut: i haven't had MD since SSP
MacMan5000: i don't do the dew,

timlu42: correction... 35
SLACKERS
quahog211: there are 4 at my school this year... and the highest grade is a 78. not that #s

jcrabold: yes, you can call me John
madwingnut: sticker
quahog211: that's the only way I can read it! I get lemon yellow on sky blue when I highligt

MacMan5000: who's this band

Fasd: geez, i'm too busy readnig
the news and playing online chess
Fasd: (i have the shortest
attention span ever)
MacMan5000: i know...they sound

Fasd: radiohead is playing on
snl
timlu42: I'm holding a raffle to
see which luck winner gets to send *me* a poster
Ogs731: eeeck!
madwingnut: john: danny came up with the raffle idea to continue giving out posters in the
tradition of QODs
madwingnut: go right ahead, tim
MacMan5000: i've still got mine
hanging in my room. :-)
jcrabold: ok. i'm slowly coming up to speed
timlu42: Well, what's
this?
timlu42: *Everyone's a
winner!*
Ogs731: I have that Mars poster
I bought at JPL in my room
madwingnut: no doh...i forgot!
madwingnut: the staff raffle!
MacMan5000: oh yeah
Fasd: what i find really
fascinating is the new census data coming out now and showing just
how many people are identifying themselves as multiracial...
MacMan5000: eventually, we're
gonna run out of staff...the dogs will be getting their own
posters...
Fasd: it's really amazing, race
lines are disappearing at a huge pace
madwingnut: lol, macman
madwingnut: actually the dudes in the kitchen deserve some. the food was sooooo good. i
never ate better in my life
MacMan5000: danny, FOCUS.
:-)
Fasd: the really ugly mtt has to
get a poster for sure
MacMan5000: didn't we buy them
one before we left? i seem to remember a presentation...
Fasd: mtt=mutt
lizardlizard42: i didn't like
them at all..
Fasd: we did give one to
them
madwingnut: someone gave em something...
Ogs731: Sayuri bought
one
madwingnut: aha
lizardlizard42: they
singlehandedly caused a weight gain
madwingnut: i know!
lizardlizard42: :-)
Ogs731: oh yeah, that's what it
was
madwingnut: i could've eaten all day if i didn't try not to
timlu42: You know, I was in rice
withdrawl the first week at HVS...
Fasd: but i think they'd be
happy to get another one from us, know we still have our tummies
growling for their food
MacMan5000: i think they bought
the kitchen staff the nebula one, the same one i won. that
must be why i remembered it so well.
timlu42: And potato withdrawl
the week after
madwingnut: rice and potatoes? awww...
MacMan5000: don't forget the
fruit punch!
timlu42: I think I'm thoroughly
de-potatofied
madwingnut: lol, remember henry's potato gun?
Ogs731: yes!
MacMan5000: heheheh
Ogs731: the James Bont-type
thingy
Fasd: henry still had his potato
gun when i visited him at harvard :-)
timlu42: You know that reminds
me... Huy is now planning on selling fart-machines out of his
trunk
MacMan5000: man, i gotta visit
him. i couldn't do it last time i was there; had to be back by
midnight. what dorm is he in?
Fasd: haha
MacMan5000: lol, that
huy.
Fasd: he's in quincy
dorm
timlu42: Along with yo-yo's,
computers, and upgrades
Fasd: (right across from the
hillel center)
timlu42: Hey, you know what? I'm
gonna drag his ass in here
MacMan5000: quincy...gotta
remember that...
timlu42: I'll be back
Ogs731: Just don't come crashing
through the wall in a motorcycle
Ogs731: ok Tim?
MacMan5000: why
not???
lizardlizard42: where has that
monkey been?
winikits has left the room.
madwingnut: i know...i asked him to defend harvard in one of my emails and he never replied
madwingnut: oh woops...forgot...the winner of the staff raffle is....
madwingnut: MADISON!!!!!!!!!!
madwingnut: ok you know what.
madwingnut: i have no more posters
lizardlizard42: where are THOSE
monkeys?
winikits has entered the room.
madwingnut: *turns pockets inside out*
Fasd: is anyone here as freaked
out as me by all the earthquakes going on around the world
MacMan5000: uh-oh
Fasd: (re: quake in japan
today)
madwingnut: it happened last eyar too...a rash of disasters
madwingnut: quite frightening...
Ogs731: Ok, people, I might get
disconnected at any given time, for no darn reason. If that
happens, I won't get online again. It would wake up my dad.
madwingnut: i mean think about it...any one of us could be put out of house and home in the
next minute...u never know
Ogs731: just in case, you
know
MacMan5000: ah, life in the
bronx. lol, j/k.
madwingnut: noisy modem?
madwingnut: or beating up the modem?
MacMan5000: well, sure, my
dial-up SCREAMS.
timlu42 has left the room.
madwingnut: turn down the volume?
madwingnut: mute it?
madwingnut: muffle it?
Ogs731: hey, no making fun of
it
Ogs731: I can't
Ogs731: I tried
Ogs731: It won't work
MacMan5000: i wasn't. my dial-up
doesn't shut up either.
timlu42 has entered the room.
madwingnut: hey did anyone get my last email about going to boston?
timlu42: Hey... Huy's mom is
waiting for a call till 9:50
Fasd: quote from snl : brittney
spears has announced that she is going to have a two part guest
appearance on buffy the vampire slayer. the two parts are above her waist and below her
neck.
MacMan5000: yeah, you ran into
mika, right? weird...
madwingnut: me? no...
timlu42: his sn is

madwingnut: crayon
MacMan5000: oops, yeah,

madwingnut: anyone be there?
madwingnut: no prob
MacMan5000: you get in there?

quahog211: did you go early evaluation? or are you in?
madwingnut: early eval
lizardlizard42:

madwingnut: did u?
lizardlizard42: i had the wrong
sn
MacMan5000: what's early
evaluation?
quahog211: yup!
MacMan5000: i know, us clueless
guys, lol
madwingnut: they send you "likely" or "not likely"
quahog211: kinda silly if you ask me...
madwingnut: are you going to spring open campus, meridith?
MacMan5000: weird...
timlu42: Sort of a way of
softening the impact, I suppose?
MacMan5000: yeah...unless you
get a "likely" and a "reject"
MacMan5000: then it's a regular
THUD
madwingnut: that would be hella wrong
madwingnut: (sorry tim) :O
quahog211: not the apr. 17/18 days. seems like every school is having open campus those
days and I've already been to wellesley a bunch of times...
timlu42: *rrrrrrr*
madwingnut: i've been there once...
madwingnut: nobody else in boston on those days? :-(
timlu42: You know that would be
pretty funny... in a sad, heartless sort of way.
MacMan5000: i *might* be...or my
sister is coming here. not sure.
Ogs731 has left the room.
timlu42: In big bold print...
*reject*
madwingnut: oops...there goes orges
madwingnut: bye bye
MacMan5000: heh, oops.
madwingnut: *chuckles*
MacMan5000: oh well. and then

Ogs731 has entered the room.
Ogs731: thanks tim
madwingnut: hey...he's back!
MacMan5000: oh!
orges!
timlu42: and then there were
nine... again
Ogs731: lol
madwingnut: (shhh, everyone! of course we weren't talking about orges behind his back!)
Ogs731: sorry about
that
Ogs731: hey,hey
MacMan5000: heheh, hello
orges!...
Ogs731: knock tha off
madwingnut: :p
MacMan5000: nothing at all,
nothing at all
Ogs731: WHy, you
little....
timlu42: So as I was saying
about Orges when he left...
Ogs731: rascals
timlu42: j/k :-)
quahog211: tim, I can't believe you said that!
Ogs731: I know, how could, you
man
Ogs731: ?
timlu42: Hey, Orges! you should
have heard what Meredith was saying!
quahog211: shhh!
MacMan5000: yeah, that *was*
pretty funny meredith
madwingnut: lol
timlu42: Man, she's got a wicked
tongue!
Ogs731: <>
lizardlizard42: jake and i were
talking about our "old boy network" from camp....
lizardlizard42: and it was
like...
timlu42: I'd write a rap song
bagging on her!
quahog211: I swear! they're making it all up! (well, most of it...)
lizardlizard42: if you need
someone to set something up on the west coast... management
etc... talk to calif / oregon
lizardlizard42: if you need west
coast... talk to New Brunswick / Fla / RI / NY
lizardlizard42: if you need
someone shot...
lizardlizard42: ...talk to
Orges
lizardlizard42: :-)
Ogs731: lol
timlu42: And if you want to
start up a cholo theme park in LA...
timlu42: I'm there!
Ogs731: hey, it's not alltha bad
anymore
lizardlizard42:
cholo?
Ogs731: I'ma changed
man
timlu42: slang for
gangster
MacMan5000: you forgot NJ! the
armpit of america!!!
Ogs731: Really, I am
lizardlizard42: i didn't
"forget" :-)
lizardlizard42: j/k
MacMan5000:
oooh....ouch...
Ogs731: lol
madwingnut: yes...what is cholo?
quahog211: moded!
quahog211: :-P
MacMan5000: it maybe be because
i'm from upstate, but even new yorkers aren't that harsh.
usually.
lizardlizard42: how do you get a
cholo theme park?
timlu42: cholo is slang for a
gangster here
madwingnut: john: might ssp still be moved to new mexico? or has that been ruled out?
timlu42: Well, you start with
wall people can spray paint graffiti...
jcrabold: If there is a New Mexico program, it would be a second campus.
timlu42: low-rider
conventions...
madwingnut: at the mining institute of tech, right?
MacMan5000: cool. nice to know
there'll always be ojai. :-)
madwingnut: or something like that
Ogs731: MIt, lol
timlu42: old cars with big
hydrolics...
jcrabold: Short name is "New Mexico Tech".
Ogs731: oh darn
madwingnut: hey, one of my friends actually applied there!
jcrabold: Long names is omething like New Mexico School of Mines and ... ?
madwingnut: weird
timlu42: And you top it off with
a drive through shooting range...
madwingnut: is there going to be a new telescope for ssp?
madwingnut: hey i wonder if they have actual mines where u can get firsthand experience...
quahog211: with a CCD camera?
lizardlizard42: tim: you're
crazy... call me in 5 years... we'll plan :-)
MacMan5000: tiff, by any chance
are you going into journalism?
madwingnut: prolly not...why?
jcrabold: The astrograph you all used is currently being completely refurbished.
Optics cleaned, all new wiring, new mounting.
lizardlizard42: Noooo!!! no
CCD!!!!
timlu42: Crazy?! Guys, one of my
crazy ideas is going to make me a millionaire someday...
madwingnut: nice...
MacMan5000: and an
ultra-high-powered holographic laser beam to eliminate the annoying
mood once and for all?!?!?!?
timlu42: that, or a
debtor.
MacMan5000: er, MOON?
madwingnut: to blow it up?
lizardlizard42:
...need...non...digital... keep...old...ways...coooool....dark..room...
must...stop....
madwingnut: geez louise
jcrabold: Then we plan to buy a 10-inch Meade Schmidt-Cassegrain with a CCD
camera.
madwingnut: sweet!!!
MacMan5000: yes! blow up the
moon! it's too darn bright!....did someone say CCD?
madwingnut: but they'd still use the astrograph and the measuring engines, right?
jcrabold: The CCD stuff would be "on the side". Everyone sees the importance of
keeping SSP very "hands on".
timlu42: You know, the Tim Lu
way of dealing with the moon is to blast it... but then again, I'm
not running the world... yet
MacMan5000: i knew tim would
understand. thanks.
madwingnut: yep yep...if we had to
deal with the measuring engine...future generations had
better do it too
Fasd: you know, we were all the
way out in the desert, right next to happy valley, i'm
surprised there were no "natural" poppy plants lying around ;-)
madwingnut: har har
jcrabold: Yes, take photos with the astrograph on sheet film. Plates got way too
expensive. Develop them. Measure them with the engines.
lizardlizard42: ahhh... cool...
Dr. Hammer's Celestron available to us was way cool
timlu42: You know, I didn't mind
the measuring engine...
lizardlizard42: it's nice to
have something on the side for rec usage
madwingnut: i did. it actually damaged my eyesight
MacMan5000: and they'd better do
THREE winds ALL the ways, forwards AND
backwards. (sheet film? would that be larger than the plates, or slide nicely onto the engine?)
Fasd: too bad chris and noel
aren't online, we could reenact for you guys our measuring engine
antics :-)
madwingnut: but my eyesight is quite sensitive, so everything damanges it anway
Fasd: doesn't anyone remember
(AGAIN! AGAIN!)
Fasd: ?
Ogs731: lol
timlu42: It's a bonding
experience... nothing like a measuring engine, a six pack of cactus
coolers, and three guys (or girls) holed up in a room
MacMan5000: the BSB? how could I
forget?
Ogs731: I souldn't
sleep
lizardlizard42: AGAIN! AGAIN
???????
Ogs731: couldn't
timlu42: for hours...
madwingnut: gotta get laser eye correction someday or i'll go blind...almost am...
jcrabold: The sheet film is exactly the same size and uses the exact same emulsion.
madwingnut: hehe
madwingnut: wow...how many places in the world can one buy plates anymore anyway?
timlu42: Dunno, laser eye
correction may *cause* blindness
MacMan5000: does it break upon
dropping and rolling down a large hill, lol
Fasd: but the staff can't play
practical jokes on us anymore
