Fasd: (by replacing our plates with broken glass)
madwingnut: well they can cut it up i guess
timlu42: And of course, that's half the fun!
madwingnut: or STEP on it
madwingnut: or stretch and mangle it
madwingnut: or have bugs eat holes through it
madwingnut: or mark it
MacMan5000: or ANTS
madwingnut: THAT'S IT!!!
Fasd: not the ants! anything but the ants!
timlu42: I think someone here has a mean streak..
jcrabold: Buy plates? Just one: Eastman Kodak. But now they make plates ONLY on special order. You want plates, they have to crank up the production line just for you.
madwingnut: incredible
timlu42: Wow... really makes you feel special :-)
Ogs731: haw-haw! Suckers
MacMan5000: Eastman Kodak! I can pick them up for ya. :-)
Fasd: talk about buying in bulk, probably have to order in the thousands to make it worth it ;-)
madwingnut: kodak...near rochester right?
MacMan5000: yep. hour and a half from the b-lo
madwingnut: i'm surprised they would crank up the production lines for small orders
madwingnut: ah..my dad went to roch
madwingnut: what's blo?
MacMan5000: lol, buffalo. just....don't ask.
Ogs731: Dude, you gotta stop calling buffalo b-lo
jcrabold has left the room.
madwingnut: that's gotta be blasphemous
Ogs731: It isn't all that ghetto
jcrabold has entered the room.
MacMan5000: it's some stupid thing the radio jockeys have started doing...dunno why...but i found it amusing.
MacMan5000: kinda like "poop on a stick"
timlu42: I dunno, poop on a stick give me the darnedest mental image...
MacMan5000: true, true...
timlu42: gives, I mean
timlu42: I tell you guys about "Tim's Ghetto Kitchen" ?
madwingnut: leave it up to ryan to come up with those expressions
MacMan5000: fair enough. i'll forward his suggestions to the radio stations.
madwingnut: pray tell, tim. :-)
jcrabold has left the room.
timlu42: Curious, so I don't repeat it too many times...
MacMan5000: john! nooooo!
jcrabold has entered the room.
madwingnut: ok everyone let's talk about john
MacMan5000: LOL
madwingnut: ooooooooops
MacMan5000: nice timing
madwingnut: rotfl
jcrabold: heh
Ogs731: perfect, if you ask me
madwingnut: one of these days i'm going to get myself into a real rut
jcrabold: DSL connection keeps dropping.
mrcdplayer has entered the room.
timlu42: Hey dude
madwingnut: yo discman!!!
mrcdplayer: sorry i'm late
quahog211: hey... is that Danger?
madwingnut: yeah sure
MacMan5000: fashionably late
Ogs731: Is this guy who I think it is?
madwingnut: just waiting to make ur grand entrance
MacMan5000: who kept you?
jcrabold has left the room.
jcrabold has entered the room.
mrcdplayer: whoa. were we being chaperoned?
mrcdplayer: hey, we are!
madwingnut: huh?
mrcdplayer: No, i was studying for physics
madwingnut: hmm...what i should be doing
MacMan5000: yep. watch your ***********************
madwingnut: but been avoiding
timlu42: Yeah, John Rabold's here to keep seditious comments down
madwingnut: hah hah
Ogs731: among other things
mrcdplayer: Orges got your computer fixed?
MacMan5000: hey, john's name is in the hat for the staff raffle, right?
Ogs731: sure did
jcrabold: I'm not on staff. Nor was I ever.
madwingnut: oh no...i'll add it right now
madwingnut: hey danny...want to start ordering posters? i have none for madison
jcrabold: I just showed up now and then for vicarious SSP thrills.
mrcdplayer: ooh, free stuff. that's great. I'm always ready for free stuff
madwingnut: wait...sayuri said she had a few to spare
MacMan5000: lol, gotcha
mrcdplayer: even free stuff i gotta make free for myself
timlu42: Five finger discount!
timlu42: Chris, I'm ashamed!
madwingnut: i emailed her about it but didn't get a reply.
madwingnut: whaddaya think, danny?
jcrabold: Sayuri's been having email trouble. Computer trouble, actually, as I hear.
madwingnut: no wonder
madwingnut: i don't even know if she ever got the poster i sent her
madwingnut: that reminds me...how many years of college does one need to be a TA?
jcrabold: I don't think that's cast in stone.
jcrabold: Henry was between junior and senior year.
MacMan5000: well, how many have ppl had in the past? generally?
MacMan5000: yah, danny, was radiohead. and is again.
jcrabold: Seems that the Academic Director tends to look back about 5 years.
jcrabold: So for 2001, the SSP '96ers are good candidates.
madwingnut: aha
MacMan5000: coolness.
madwingnut: not word?
Ogs731: I am so gonna apply
quahog211: g'nite all! I guess I'm not quite on SSP hours anymore...
madwingnut: me too
MacMan5000: i can do "word"
lizardlizard42: me too
madwingnut: gnite, meridith!
MacMan5000: meredith!
lizardlizard42: we should have 24 TA's!
timlu42: 'night
MacMan5000: k, g'night!
Ogs731: buh-bye
jcrabold: g'nite ... is that Meredith?
mrcdplayer: SSP hours are until 6 AM!
timlu42: Yeah, and have the whole operation degrade into a block party!
mrcdplayer: but, g'night
madwingnut: lol...dr fu and hammer would have a heck of a time keeping all those TAs in line
Ogs731: the 6 am club
MacMan5000: yah, seriously! it's only 1! lol
quahog211 has left the room.
MacMan5000: i got stuff at noon tomorrow, so i should be going soon myself......naaaah. :-)
madwingnut: when i was at ssp i figured i'd never want to be a TA...but now that i've actually taken a course in physics, i think i could handle it after all
madwingnut: a yearlong course i mean
madwingnut: is danny still here?
MacMan5000: sorry, did we all introduce ourselves? ogs731=orges mrcdplayer=chris, madwingnut=tiff, winikits=queahn (right?), fasd=danny, timlu42=guess, lizardlizard42=ryan, macman5000=myself=solomon.
MacMan5000: same here tiff. same here...having physics and precalc DEFINITELY would have helped. ;-)
winikits: yes winikits is que anh
winikits: and i'm sorry i'm not saying much
MacMan5000: but i made it nonetheless. so there. :-)
madwingnut: yep, it was the physics that nearly slaughtered me... but hey, we did make it thru
timlu42: Hey, Comp Sci is a plus as well...
MacMan5000: really? it was the calc for me...thank god for tim...
timlu42: the programming crushed me
madwingnut: hehe, i remember how late you were up finishing that OD
madwingnut: and we broke Henry, remember? muhahah
MacMan5000: oh yeah, almost forgot. yeah, me and henry, with the troubleshooting....hooooooboy.
timlu42: Couldn't have done it without Madison...
Ogs731: Yes, programming, tha's what crushed me
madwingnut: you did the calculations by hand, right orges?
madwingnut: well with a calculator too, hehe
mrcdplayer: i thought that was hilarious...
madwingnut: what?
mrcdplayer: then he forgot to add a one or something at the beginning
Ogs731: I suffered
mrcdplayer: the calculations by hand
Ogs731: Leave me alone
Ogs731: Computers hate me
MacMan5000: awww....but hey, you made it.
Ogs731: It's a conspiracy I tell you
lizardlizard42: yeah...
Ogs731: yes, yes, I did
MacMan5000: you did it without that stupid machine. and it'll never take that away from you. :-)
jcrabold: some people do the calcs by hand every year
lizardlizard42: remember my error with chinmay?
lizardlizard42: we planned that :-)
lizardlizard42: just for you...
timlu42: [cough, breaking silence]
madwingnut: every year? cool!
jcrabold: Of course, in MY day, we all did. No choice.
MacMan5000: orges kept the tradition alive, then. word!
jcrabold: Then electricity was discovered, by Ben Franklin, and it got easier.
madwingnut: lol, i didn't know you were that old, john
timlu42: So you didn't have to burn whale oil, right?
timlu42: For those late night calculations.
madwingnut: no, they used kerosene...
jcrabold: No, we had wood to burn.
MacMan5000: we used mountain dew. and the circle of life continues.
timlu42: Wood=MD
timlu42: Man, that's a killer drink
jcrabold: There are fewer blds on the Thacher campus now than there used to be. SSPers burned them down for light.
madwingnut: rotfl
winikits: i never got what was so special about that drink
MacMan5000: and that's where the foosball table went, too?
madwingnut: quite an unstoppable bunch, sspers are
timlu42: Absolutely nothing, Que Anh... it's the myth that's importatn
MacMan5000: the legacy...
jcrabold: There used to be a photo of a foosball table on the SSP Web site, Yes, that table is Thacher's.
mrcdplayer: and the 4 guys that jump out of airplanes and off cliffs to support their favorite carbonated drink
winikits: ic ic
jcrabold: Maybe we could get someone to donate a foosball table to us.
madwingnut: the other day i saw an in-n-out bumpuer sticker on a locker. instant flashback!
winikits: crhis!
winikits: chris..
winikits: sorry
timlu42: Also the same four guys that mangle "bohemian rhapsody"
MacMan5000 has left the room.
mrcdplayer: wow, i got a sorry? i'm usually the one who has to say "sorry"
mrcdplayer: thanks que anh!
mrcdplayer: or a pool table
mrcdplayer: SSP needs a pool table
mrcdplayer: no more online pool tables. Eric cheated too much at that
jcrabold: A pool table would take up most of the central lounge in Phoenix dorm ...
winikits: haha.. how is he.. i haven't heard much from him at all
mrcdplayer: yeah! then suniel could sleep there!
mrcdplayer: he's good. his friends take him to hooter's
madwingnut: lol
timlu42: [Then again, Suniel could sleep anywhere]
madwingnut: partay animal
timlu42: Dude, my friends only take me home...
timlu42: sad... I like a block from my school... and I can't walk
madwingnut: brb
winikits: why tim? do you want to go to hooter?s
Ogs731: Heck no, that place sucks ass
mrcdplayer: they have good buffalo wings
mrcdplayer: so i hear
timlu42: With a name like hooter's how could I resist ;-)
Ogs731: real easy
timlu42: It could be a dentist's office for all I care...
winikits: hmmm ok.. i should have known huh?
winikits: :-)
Fasd: my brother claims hooters is a family restaurant..i'll take his word for it. ;-)
timlu42: Ok, since we left Solomon out to dry... I'm assigning myself the duty of "chief bouncer"
lizardlizard42: you have a brother?
Fasd: yah
Fasd: (i might have mentioned him once or twice, he's at caltech)
mrcdplayer: could somebody invite sol?
mrcdplayer: it's not working for me
Fasd: i already did
winikits: your brother likes it there right danny?
timlu42: Hmm...
Fasd: yup, he's a techer :-)
mrcdplayer: wow, danny's got smart genes
Fasd: yah, if only my parents would've given me some of them, ha!
mrcdplayer: i'm investing in him once he goes IPO
Ogs731 has left the room.
timlu42: So what would the symbol be? DAN?
Fasd: chris- ever hear back from prez. scholarship?
mrcdplayer: FUZZ
mrcdplayer: nope

madwingnut: back...
mrcdplayer: or channeling you?
madwingnut: whoa i got a lot to catch up on
winikits: no she called me earlier
winikits: we talked for a while
mrcdplayer: "called you earlier" by phone, or by psychic mind powers?
winikits: and she said to tell everyone "hi" for her
winikits: psychic mind powers
winikits: of course
winikits: duh!
winikits: :-D
mrcdplayer: obviously. i'll psychic mind power back "hi" for everybody too
madwingnut: chris: you and justin are cotinually on the same page. first it's the natl alliance for excellence and then it's the prez thing
madwingnut: webpage i mean
mrcdplayer: oh, well... great minds think alike, i suppose
madwingnut: :P
timlu42: Ahem, great *psychic* minds...
winikits: right right
madwingnut: but hey, congrats chris
timlu42: But of course, I never needed to say that
timlu42: What with my *psychic mind powers* for being a great mind...
timlu42: I think...
timlu42: Come on... some reassurace here, folks.
timlu42: [crickets chirping]
madwingnut: ummm...you're thinking of MD?
jcrabold: wow blue
timlu42: Burns!
madwingnut: yep...electric blue is one of my fave colors
mrcdplayer: well, she changed from rose period to blue period rather quickly
timlu42: Ahhh!
madwingnut: along with orange
mrcdplayer: but not together
mrcdplayer: i gather
madwingnut: whyever not?
madwingnut: looks good to me
mrcdplayer: ouch
madwingnut: i am a chameleon
jcrabold: Solomon writes that he can't get back in here.
madwingnut: hey...no copying
mrcdplayer: shall we all mosey along to another chatroom then?
mrcdplayer: my eyes hurt
winikits: i tried inviting him
mrcdplayer: ditto
madwingnut: poor sol
winikits: but i guess it didn't work
madwingnut: missing out on all the fun
jcrabold: i also tried that
mrcdplayer: but it didn't work?
mrcdplayer: awww...
timlu42: Fun? My eyes hurt from the contrast...
madwingnut: muhahah
madwingnut: i have no mercy
madwingnut: though i go to mercy
timlu42: You go to mercy
madwingnut: OH!!!
timlu42: Oh... quick, I see
madwingnut: telepathy!
timlu42: I admit, you are faster to the draw
mrcdplayer: more psychic minds!
timlu42: Proof of my great mind!
timlu42: And slow reflexes
timlu42: Hmm... that Huy's starting to tick me off... he said he'd be here
madwingnut: hes never been to a chat

Fasd: good night, all ;-)
madwingnut: last year

jcrabold: g'night, Danny
winikits: nite danny
Fasd has left the room.
timlu42: Yeah, it's been up to me to retell his exploits
timlu42: You know, he got caught ditching again...
madwingnut: anyone caught ditching at mercy would be skinned alive
madwingnut: ok not quite
timlu42: he was in the parking lot studying for thursday's Physics exam when Todd, the procter knocked on his window
madwingnut: i never found studying in parkiing lots particularly condusive to learning
timlu42: He managed to weasel out of yet another saturday school by saying he was horribly late for his current class
timlu42: So instead of interrupting class (which would be rude), he said he was waiting for the next period to start
madwingnut: monday is senior cut day :-)
timlu42: So figuring you, you're going to go to class... right? :-)
jcrabold: Time for me to call it a day, guys. Thanks for inviting me.
timlu42: Good night
winikits: bye john
winikits: goodnite

lizardlizard42: no one here has completely finished the survey!!!!
madwingnut: i know! what are you all waiting for?
timlu42: Survey... I would like to but I don't know where to go

lizardlizard42: where?
madwingnut: and some of the other stuff, but it's not linked to the front page yet
lizardlizard42: also / are the quotes on the CD?
madwingnut: yes
madwingnut: well ok...i'll give you guys the addy of the front page...
madwingnut: but u have to keep it secret...
timlu42: Ooo, secrets!
madwingnut: tell me if it shows up well on your screen at your resolution
madwingnut: http://www.eccentrix.com/misc/ssp2k
timlu42: Ok, since the guestbook is working... it's time for me to bombard the thing with all manner of silly comments!
madwingnut: basically i'm just waiting for the surveys to come in...
madwingnut: and more ppl to volunteer to write something up
madwingnut: does anyone have ideas for what should be included on the calendars?
lizardlizard42: birthdays...
lizardlizard42: renunions
lizardlizard42: anything related to asteroids
timlu42: Things that go boom in the dark

madwingnut: yeah
lizardlizard42: i wonder if anyone kept a journal..
mrcdplayer: justin tried
mrcdplayer: for the first 3 days
madwingnut: haha, let's make him send in his effort
mrcdplayer: well, he said it was a journal
mrcdplayer: i think it's a diary
madwingnut: even better!
mrcdplayer: and let him know diary
lizardlizard42: it would be kinda neat [and kinda freaky in a way] to recreate everything on that calendar - menus / dome times / deadlines / lectures / guest speakers
timlu42: Whoa whoa whoa... let's keep those inner thoughts inner then
madwingnut: ummm...would you like to do that ryan?
lizardlizard42: no :-)
timlu42: Yeah... in a Miss Havisham sort of way
madwingnut: who?

timlu42: You know, the movie wasn't that bad
mrcdplayer: which one?
mrcdplayer: i heard the new one
timlu42: The recent one...
mrcdplayer: with all the sex was horrible
timlu42: It was a different take on the same theme
timlu42: The old one was hilarious, esp. when pip gets into that fistfight
mrcdplayer: like Romeo and Juliet? and like Romeo Must Die?
mrcdplayer: have you seen the old Romeo and Juliet?
timlu42: Nah... Romeo Must Die was a pile of fake-kung-fu movie crap
mrcdplayer: Juliet was freakin' hot
