Yeah... the gathering tonight was actually centered around the first football game of the year...

For me philosophy degree = warehouse work. But, compared to my previous job, this is really good. In fact, I kind of like it.

KitH re-runs get played here on The Comedy Network. I sometimes catch them at other people's places. I don't have cable, so I don't get the opportunity to see that channel at home.

the cat's iao

04:50 / 05.09.04

That'd be NFL, I presume.

Never been much of a football sorta' person. I like basketball--which wans't on any channels I get this past year--and sometimes (rarely) watch hockey. That's about the extent of my sports watching. Oh, and skateboarding I like to watch, but I hardly ever see any of those "X-Games" sorta' things. Again, due to my being without cable.

Sekhmet

04:53 / 05.09.04

About the same deal. Liberal arts degrees aren't exactly money makers.

I only have cable for Comedy Central and high speed internet access... you'd think CC would still show KitH, that's where they aired it down here to begin with. Haven't seen it in ages though.

Sigh... anyway, the sig O has put forth a motion to depart, so I think I'm headed to home and bed... Not that my conversation this evening is particularly scintillating...

Catch ya later, tci... have a good night...

the cat's iao

Hey cheers, Sekh. It was nice to chat with you for a bit!

Man, you know what book makes me want to shoot folks?
The Great Gatsby.
I get it, ok? They're all hedonist ass holes.
Nooooo, i have to write a million reports until its ingrained in my head.

the cat's iao

22:53 / 06.09.04

Hey! Was that last post supposed to go in the anger thread? Seems kinda' angry, or at least moderately disgruntled.

So Barbie-bar-ba-barbelith, what's shakin' in yer boots tonight? What's tuned in on your frequencies?

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

23:03 / 06.09.04

hello beveryody, I'm at work after three weeks spent mostly away from it, and much of that in the sunshine. Boo.

Brigade du jour

23:04 / 06.09.04

Shit that's weird, that last message was supposed to be from me actually (hello again!) but Stoatie must have left himself logged on on my computer when he was covering for me in my absence at work. Phew ... anyway.

the cat's iao

23:06 / 06.09.04

Sunshine on your shoulders makes me happy.

How you farin' Stoatie?

Ganesh

23:08 / 06.09.04

Evening. How are things, Stoatie?

the cat's iao

23:08 / 06.09.04

Gebus H E double turnpikes! Now I've gone and wasted a post on someone who isn't even here. You bastard!

How's it goin' MGB? How were your battles?

Brigade du jour

23:11 / 06.09.04

Yeah I'm really sorry about that identity crisis everyone, I didn't realise until I'd already clicked Post Reply and realised what had happened. Doh this is what happens when you leave your computer for that long.

Didn't see any real action in the end, thanks for asking iao, just went along for the companionship, rootbeer (or carbonated Germolene as it has now been rechristened) and late night discussions of wiping someone else's bottom.

But that's okay, I'm a lover, not a fighter.

Ganesh

23:11 / 06.09.04

Hmm. Thought it sounded a little sunshiney for Stoatie. Ah well...

the cat's iao

23:15 / 06.09.04

NOT ONE BATTLE!?

You dishonour your family. You know what to do.

Brigade du jour

23:16 / 06.09.04

Nah fuck all that. I poke fun at people who actually go to fight, they're so funny with their shouting and waving around of latex phallic symbols.

Brigade du jour

23:18 / 06.09.04

I'm in it strictly for the boozing and silly names. This year I was simply 'Pissed Pirate' (although on my name card they'd put 'Pis*ed Pirate' in a half-hearted and possibly ironic stab at censorship) but next year I may come up with something clever.

Check this out - there was one group of people there who'd named themselves after the Marines in 'Aliens'. I asked if I could be 'Burke' as every other name had sadly been taken.

the cat's iao

23:42 / 06.09.04

Yarr, Pished Pirate! 'Tis a fine name, matey--smart as paint!

I forget--which one is Burke?

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:11 / 07.09.04

Oops... sorry, MGB. It's actually me this time.
I'm just finishing off a beer and then going to sleep- tomorrow I have to figure out how to clean a flat I can't actually cope with going into.

w1rebaby

00:16 / 07.09.04

Nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

Brigade du jour

00:26 / 07.09.04

Stoatie, have a big hug mate. I just heard.

Brigade du jour

00:27 / 07.09.04

Iao, Burke is the one who's a big wuss who runs away and tries to sic the facehuggers on Ripley and Newt while they sleep.

"All right, we waste him ... no offence!"

STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK

00:29 / 07.09.04

Cheers, MGB... I've just finished my beer and off to bed. Night, all.

Good Night, Stoat.

G'night mate ... oh and thanks for covering for me last week!

the cat's iao

00:32 / 07.09.04

G'night Stoatie! Hope you are doing alright.

Hiya' fridge!

Oh, Burke was the corporate flunkie guy who wanted to get one of the aliens back to earth. I remember.

Brigade du jour

00:35 / 07.09.04

Precisely. And he seemed such a nice bloke at first too. All sweet and comforting, and breaking the news about Ripley's 57-year coma and her daughter and everything so sensitively ... actually no, he was a prick all along.

w1rebaby

00:37 / 07.09.04

Well, at least he didn't try to murder Ripley with a porn mag.

the cat's iao

00:40 / 07.09.04

Yeah, and all along she was suspicious of the android and then it's Burke who turns out to be the traitor.

So, did you want to join their group as Burke for snicks, then?

Brigade du jour

00:42 / 07.09.04

Nor did he accuse her of upsetting a correctional facility's social equilibrium in a Yorkshire accent. Yeah, I guess he wasn't all bad.

Brigade du jour

00:45 / 07.09.04

No I was happy where I was, on the periphery, ready to change sides in their pathetic squabble at the drop of a blood-stained scabbard, swigging my rum-laced rootbeer and chuckling to my smug self ...

the cat's iao

00:53 / 07.09.04

Obviously you meant, 'chortling' and not 'chuckling', eh Pished Pirate?

So how's back to work treatin' ya?

I had a small holiday from work as it was a long weekend here in downtown Canada. Short week comin' up--hooray!

Brigade du jour

00:58 / 07.09.04

Ah work's ok ... it's usually week-off again before I know it.

Hope you enjoyed your holiday dude ... some sort of national day I presume? Canada Day's July 1st isn't it? Or am I publicising my imperial ignorance?

the cat's iao

01:05 / 07.09.04

Yeah that's how it goes, isn't it. My bro and I were talking about that the other day. You work, get a paycheck, you work some more, then next thing you know you're getting a paycheck again. It seems to go by so fast.

You're right about Canada day, and today is Labour Day.

Quelle tragedie. We are no longer able to wear white without snide comments from bitchy matrons.
