In which is discussed festivities, Christmas presents, fizzy beverages as offensive weapons, E2 and a fictional construct.

good morning
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:06
merry christmas, son
I got Deus Ex yesterday.
Now I'm listening to a webcast of Harry Potter.
And finally getting some Big Poo Generator songs.
10998521 27/12/00 13:07
what fun
i got a new mobile
with batteries and text messages and things
it's like something out of the 20th century
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:07
21st, even
StarTAC is just sooo late-90's
10998521 27/12/00 13:08
mine was definitely mid-90s
whereas my new standard-issue nokia 3210 is late
90s
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:09
mine's early-90's. I'm going
retro. And
bludgeonly.
10998521 27/12/00 13:09
good for you
the only problem is that i now have to pay for my
own credit
the bastards
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:10
poor sod
but at least you have batteries that last for a
measurable time
10998521 27/12/00 13:11
yeah
and an annoyingly hard to remember new number
087 9347687
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:12
it's got a nice rhythm
it's just as easy as your last one, unless that
was some kind of two-digit palindrome.
10998521 27/12/00 13:12
086 8055544 was my last one
which was damn easy to remember
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:13
yes
it is true that it was
now you will be like common people
with a random phone number
10998521 27/12/00 13:13
damnit
my individuality is being eroded by eircell
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:14
I got a Cyrillic-English keyboard for Christmas.
10998521 27/12/00 13:14
why?
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:15
because it was in the shop, and it was cheap
10998521 27/12/00 13:15
ah
yes
that makes sense
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:19
I was going to get it for
someone for Christmas.
I mentioned it to my mother and asked her to pick
it up for me.
She then "forgot" and I went in myself to find
that someone else had bought it.
Skip to Christmas day.
I was kind of annoyed to find that she'd bought
it for me when I'd planned on giving it to
someone.
10998521 27/12/00 13:20
but now you have a cyrillic
keyboard
and someone else doesn't
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:21
my russian coolness comes at
someone else's
expense
10998521 27/12/00 13:21
and you feel this is against
the spirit of
christmas?
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:22
it depends which one.
One of them made me play Deus Ex for eight hours
straight.
10998521 27/12/00 13:23
they're right bastards
i spent most of yesterday engaged in a buckaroo
tournament
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:26
family affair?
We tried to play Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
But we didn't have enough people for it to get
stupid, and the presence of a baby who kept on
having to be taken away for various reasons
ensured that the whole dang shootin' match
degenerated.
10998521 27/12/00 13:27
ah
we had a trivia challenge from the guinness
rockopedia
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:28
oh dear lord no
who won?
just listened to all the Big Poo Generator
samples. They're not that great.
10998521 27/12/00 13:30
i think i just beat my dad
at rock trivia
but he was damn good on seventies light rock
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:32
sounds like a general
fatherly field of expertise
I never got that liquid nitrogen
I'm just gonna have to order a flask
10998521 27/12/00 13:32
darn
that would have been fun
will you be up in civilisation any time over the
festive period?
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:34
not festively
but for ys, probably
marcus says he'll let me stay if I let him burn a
copy of my deus ex cd and help record some stuff
by <censored>.
10998521 27/12/00 13:34
funkular
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:36
I'm reading on E2 about a
guy who used the main
server in his workplace plus about a million more
computers to run a key cracking contest, then
left the country and forgot, thus bringing his
entire company to its knees
10998521 27/12/00 13:37
i read that one about ten minutes ago
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:38
ahh, the cool list
10998521 27/12/00 13:39
actually, i got it from new nodes
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:40
and it got cooled straight
away
now readin "can of sprite as weapon of choice"
we have to do this
10998521 27/12/00 13:43
dear god
i wanna canna sprite
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:44
or any carbonated beverage
maybe a can of fizzy moonshine
10998521 27/12/00 13:44
did you know that there are
no licensing laws or
sales taxes in andorra?
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:45
I did not. What did who bring back?
10998521 27/12/00 13:46
i couldn't bring anything
back
but the stuff i found there was...interesting
68% w/v absinthe in supermarkets
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:48
now that's
just....something.
10998521 27/12/00 13:48
vodka is cheaper there than beer is here
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:49
very nice
and I have votes now
and 45 nodes to L3
10998521 27/12/00 13:50
so i noticed
i'm very proud of you
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:51
well, 42 WUs left, actually
41 after I've noded Douglas Adams's own recipe
for a Pan Galactic Gargle Blaster substitute.
10998521 27/12/00 13:52
triple-distilled contents of
your local liquor
store?
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:52
I was going to, but it's
been said already,
though not nearly prominently enough for my
liking. Which is why I missed it the first time.
10998521 27/12/00 13:53
ah well
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:53
at least I got <censored> on there
10998521 27/12/00 13:55
so i see
i wouldn't have said anything if i was you
i would have just noded <censored> as a real band
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:56
If it doesn't get softlinked
to the confession
when I get round to noding the band, it'll be
okay
10998521 27/12/00 13:56
you hardlinked it
remove that
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:57
I'll edit out any reference to the name.
10998521 27/12/00 13:58
do so
it would be terrible if anyone found out about
<censored>'s falseness
Weishaupt 27/12/00 13:58
beyond the hundred or two who already know
10998521 27/12/00 14:00
most of those have either
forgotten or will go
along with it
i have to go
gbye
