| 03:41.35 | brlcad | TheRedBaron: I've had the 30-year Macallan |
| 03:42.23 | brlcad | (and just about everything younger) |
| 03:42.42 | brlcad | not really one of my favorites |
| 03:43.34 | gn00bie | brlcad: I prefer Aberlour Abunadh to the Macallans I have had |
| 03:43.55 | gn00bie | the 30yo could be something special I guess |
| 03:44.11 | gn00bie | if I am in the mood for a speysider, Aberlour it is |
| 03:48.18 | brlcad | yeah, aberlour is much better |
| 03:48.52 | brlcad | thusfar, though, Balvenie has been my favorite (30-yr) |
| 03:49.01 | brlcad | (it's a speyside too) |
| 03:49.12 | gn00bie | I am more of an Islay man myself |
| 03:49.57 | brlcad | mm, Laphroaig is good |
| 03:50.19 | brlcad | Bowmore I have to be in a mood for.. ultra peaty |
| 03:50.20 | gn00bie | Laphroaig is pretty good, and if you have not tried out Ardbeg, you should |
| 03:51.03 | gn00bie | Ardbeg is this wonderfully balanced whisky, I would say under a 100 bucks, it is a dead heat between the Aberlour cask strength stuff and Ardbeg |
| 03:51.12 | gn00bie | Talisker rounds it out into a 3 way tie |
| 03:51.17 | brlcad | not tried ardbeg |
| 03:51.49 | gn00bie | brlcad: you should, it is just super good, it is wonderfully balanced |
| 03:52.25 | gn00bie | now the Abunadh is a different style, but I rate Ardbeg at slightly better than the Abunadh |
| 03:52.58 | brlcad | i shall have to give it a go |
| 03:53.02 | gn00bie | :) |
| 03:55.28 | brlcad | curious history |
| 03:56.28 | brlcad | the distillery was briefly closed, then limited produciton, yet still have a 17 and 25 year |
| 03:56.45 | orange | they stole it |
| 03:56.47 | gn00bie | yes, it was a shame |
| 03:56.53 | gn00bie | I would stick with the 10yo |
| 03:57.07 | gn00bie | it is under a 50 bucks, and the best under a 50 bucks you can spend |
| 03:57.27 | brlcad | it was closed from 27yr to 19yr ago .. so anything in that range is .. curious :) |
| 03:57.43 | brlcad | I suppose 17 year should be within when they reopened now |
| 03:58.14 | gn00bie | brlcad: a whisky stops aging once you bottle it, so it is probably leftover stuff from way back that has sat in a bottle for 10 odd years? |
| 03:58.32 | brlcad | i tend to really appreciate the smoothness of the older aged ones over the harsh younger flavors |
| 03:58.46 | brlcad | ah, perhaps |
| 03:59.01 | gn00bie | brlcad: I am one for a robust malt, but Ardbeg is super smooth |
| 03:59.24 | gn00bie | but having said that, I have had a couple of 21yo, most of my experience is with 8 to 15yo stuff |
| 03:59.39 | gn00bie | cannot afford the more expensive stuff (DoDa will kill me) |
| 04:00.11 | brlcad | :) |
| 04:00.51 | gn00bie | brlcad: though orange here is a macallan man |
| 04:01.02 | orange | I'm no expert |
| 04:01.05 | orange | but I enjoy what I have |
| 04:01.48 | gn00bie | Macallan is not half bad, but for the same buck, you get better whiskies of a similar class |
| 04:02.09 | brlcad | it's not that macallan is bad, I have a couple bottles right now :) |
| 04:02.42 | gn00bie | brlcad: I may have to invite myself over one of these days :P |
| 04:03.02 | brlcad | gn00bie: any time :) |
| 04:04.10 | gn00bie | it is good to know that there is a population out there that thinks beyond JWalker Black when thinking scotch |
| 04:04.26 | gn00bie | once again, Black is a pretty decent whisky, but for the price, I would much rather have something else |
| 04:05.41 | brlcad | bleh, I've had the Blue just to compare and wasn't impressed |
| 04:06.10 | brlcad | definitely smoother, but still a funky walker taste that just begs for something to mix it with |
| 04:06.26 | gn00bie | blue is proof that a fool and his money are parted soon |
| 04:07.14 | gn00bie | well Walker and Regal served a very different purpose as cognac replacement in britain, so for that purpose, they are OK drinks |
| 04:08.57 | brlcad | which is exactly why I didn't buy the bottle |
| 04:09.15 | gn00bie | my dad is a chivas regal man, I got him 2 bottles of the 18yo stuff for his burrday last year |
| 04:09.35 | brlcad | one of the nice perks of getting put up in nice hotels, can try one overpriced glass just to get a good sample, see if the bottle is worth it |
| 04:09.35 | gn00bie | cannot say I understand it, but he seemed to enjoy it, so oh well |
| 04:09.53 | gn00bie | how much was a glass of blue? |
| 04:10.14 | brlcad | I probably saved $500 or more last summer alone that way ;) |
| 04:10.39 | brlcad | mm, it was 20 or 30 |
| 04:10.53 | brlcad | usual price for a top shelf |
| 04:11.29 | gn00bie | I have had green once someplace in NYC a couple of years back |
| 04:11.50 | gn00bie | I came away distinctly unimpressed, though to be fair, not sure how long the bottle had been open etc |
| 04:12.29 | gn00bie | I will sip on a black if that is the only thing available at a bar, blends are just a waste of good single malts in my opinion |
| 04:17.22 | brlcad | is getting thirsty |
| 04:26.38 | TheRedBaron | takes notes |
| 04:27.51 | TheRedBaron | bought Valumzie a 12yo Macallan for her birthday |
| 04:28.16 | TheRedBaron | was by far the nicest whiskey I've ever tasted - which is a very very very narrow scope :) |
| 04:28.31 | brlcad | makes a lovely gift |
| 04:28.52 | brlcad | it's an excellent introduction scotch too |
| 04:29.13 | brlcad | I usually start friends off there, then take them to a few extremes to compare |
| 04:29.53 | brlcad | something really peaty and young, something young and very mild, something very old, etc |
| 04:32.03 | brlcad | you often can't tell in isolation .. yet put a quarter shot of one against another with a glass of water in between and people start to get it |
| 04:32.23 | TheRedBaron | brlcad: Valumzie is wondering if you've ever had a smoked whiskey |
| 04:32.40 | brlcad | a smoked whiskey such as? |
| 04:33.08 | brlcad | not sure what that means, so probably not |
| 04:33.26 | TheRedBaron | whiskey thats aged in burnt barrels? |
| 04:33.46 | gn00bie | well, most whiskies are aged in bourbon barrels, which are charred |
| 04:34.36 | Valumzie | those are some of the names I have been given for smoked ones: Bowmore, Laphroaig, Talisker |
| 04:35.00 | gn00bie | oh oh, there is no barrel burning involved there, just the malting is very very very peaty |
| 04:35.25 | gn00bie | though more than likely, most of these whiskies are aged in bourbon casks, which like I said, are charred |
| 04:35.46 | brlcad | gn00bie: that's part of why I love the balvenie 21 portwood, aged in oak basks, finished in port wine casks |
| 04:35.57 | TheRedBaron | she says the french term for those whiskies means "smoked" |
| 04:36.06 | TheRedBaron | thats why she was using that term :) |
| 04:36.38 | brlcad | Valumzie: that's the "peaty" flavor .. for all intensive purposes peaty == smoked |
| 04:37.00 | gn00bie | brlcad: if you prefer sherried and ported whiskies, I find that a talisker is much more satisfying |
| 04:37.50 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: I am tempted to make some remarks about your MiL and smoke, but I am not gonna :P |
| 04:38.09 | brlcad | gn00bie: hm, not for me, though I've not had an older talisker in fairness |
| 04:38.11 | TheRedBaron | gn00bie: such constraint! this is not typical of you ;) |
| 04:38.55 | gn00bie | brlcad: my budget constrains me to 15yo and lesser taliskers (and most whiskies for that matter) - so whatever I am saying is based in that temporal space ;) |
| 04:39.12 | brlcad | gn00bie: have you tried balvenie? |
| 04:39.23 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: well, DoDa comes in under a week, Valumzie shows her stuff from backlog, I am D.E.A.D. |
| 04:39.32 | brlcad | should give the 12 year a try, I love that flavor |
| 04:40.06 | gn00bie | brlcad: I have had balvenie doublewood 12yo and a 15yo french reserve or something |
| 04:40.13 | gn00bie | decent speysiders, better than macallan for sure |
| 04:40.48 | brlcad | k |
| 04:41.12 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: But, I don't want to push my chips forward and go out and meet something I don't understand. A man would have to put his soul at hazard. He'd have to say, "O.K., I'll be part of this world." |
| 04:41.29 | gn00bie | something I don't understand = interaction between DoDa and Valumzie |
| 04:41.47 | TheRedBaron | gn00bie: i was surprised too :) |
| 04:41.49 | gn00bie | brlcad: we have to get TheRedBaron up to speed here |
| 04:42.04 | Valumzie | you guys are so weird... |
| 04:42.12 | TheRedBaron | I think is their common "suffering" that made them friends so fast :P |
| 04:42.25 | Valumzie | we are both Europeans! |
| 04:42.29 | Valumzie | and short :D |
| 04:42.31 | Valumzie | and very cute |
| 04:42.35 | Valumzie | and lot of fun :D |
| 04:42.45 | brlcad | TheRedBaron: there's no suffering here ;) |
| 04:42.48 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: I do not fully understand how vertically challenged carbon based lifeforms bond with each other, there might have been something because of that |
| 04:43.02 | brlcad | Valumzie: TheRedBaron doesn't look very short.. |
| 04:43.07 | brlcad | now you on the other hand.. :) |
| 04:43.14 | gn00bie | brlcad: no, but my DoDa is very short |
| 04:43.16 | Valumzie | :P |
| 04:43.22 | brlcad | ahh |
| 04:43.23 | gn00bie | ok I did not say short, vertically challenged |
| 04:43.34 | brlcad | different "we", got it |
| 04:43.34 | gn00bie | DoDa = director of domestic affairs |
| 04:43.48 | gn00bie | DoDa != Department of Defence affairs |
| 04:43.56 | Valumzie | thats why my motto is: the shortest, the cutest - cause more cuteness stored in a smaller area :) |
| 04:44.38 | gn00bie | Valumzie: my motto is : I am tall, dark, and handsome (2/3 ain't bad) |
| 04:44.49 | brlcad | Valumzie: that's a great motto ;) |
| 04:45.07 | Valumzie | ~brlcad++ |
| 04:45.11 | Valumzie | ~gn00bie++ |
| 04:45.12 | Valumzie | :) |
| 04:45.30 | gn00bie | where is orange the egg? |
| 04:45.43 | gn00bie | orange: stand and deliver (a speech) or the devil he may take ya |
| 04:47.37 | TheRedBaron | mv orange /dev/juicer |
| 04:48.27 | gn00bie | well, in this case, devil = /dev/juicer |
| 04:48.48 | gn00bie | brlcad: so, any progress with the hairdresser? |
| 04:49.00 | brlcad | heh |
| 04:49.14 | brlcad | I've not needed a haircut yet, so no :) |
| 04:49.21 | gn00bie | with your knowledge of scotch, I know I would fall for you |
| 04:49.29 | gn00bie | though I highly doubt you would want that ;P |
| 04:49.44 | brlcad | I highly doubt that too :) |
| 04:52.01 | gn00bie | my cuteness is highly questionable to non-existent |
| 04:52.36 | TheRedBaron | gn00bie: alas - i cannot vouch for you cuteness |
| 04:52.43 | TheRedBaron | your genius however - is undeniable |
| 04:52.55 | brlcad | is unabashedly cute per Valumzie's motto |
| 04:53.11 | TheRedBaron | well then in that case... |
| 04:53.17 | TheRedBaron | sends brlcad back to the hairdresser |
| 04:53.40 | gn00bie | brlcad: are you vertically challenged? |
| 04:53.48 | brlcad | gn00bie: no, I'm just short ;) |
| 04:53.57 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: you can vouch for my non-cuteness :) |
| 04:54.32 | Valumzie | short is good :) |
| 04:54.34 | gn00bie | brlcad: short is a prejorative term, much like the n word |
| 04:54.41 | gn00bie | illegal mexicans = undocumented americans |
| 04:54.51 | gn00bie | short people = vertically challenged folks |
| 04:54.53 | gn00bie | etc etc |
| 04:55.02 | gn00bie | hillbillies = applachian americans |
| 04:55.42 | gn00bie | to quote kabir - bada hua to kya hua, jaise ped khajur, panchi ko chayya nahi, fal lage ati door |
| 04:56.04 | TheRedBaron | gesundheit ? |
| 04:56.15 | gn00bie | so what if you are tall, like a date palm, birds cannot nest in you, and your fruit is too far away to be picked easily |
| 04:57.02 | gn00bie | to quote ancient sanskit text - namanti gunina jana, namanti falino vriksha, shush vrikshascha murkascha na namanti kadachana |
| 04:57.09 | brlcad | gn00bie: ah, screw that -- being "politically correct" has never been my cup of tea |
| 04:57.57 | gn00bie | the men with good qualities are polite, the tree with a lot of fruit is willing to bend and bow down, the dead dry tree and the idiot do not bow down in front of others |
| 04:58.10 | brlcad | xkcd put it rather nicely, http://xkcd.com/137/ |
| 04:58.12 | gn00bie | brlcad: or your dram of whisky? |
| 04:58.54 | TheRedBaron | ~xkcd++ |
| 04:59.44 | TheRedBaron | brlcad: do you like to read? |
| 04:59.53 | brlcad | TheRedBaron: absolutely |
| 05:00.40 | brlcad | try to read at least one research paper a week |
| 05:01.04 | gn00bie | I think about writing a paper a month |
| 05:01.16 | brlcad | i'm apparently a book whore too, lots of text books |
| 05:01.25 | gn00bie | but usually a quick email to coworkers with the essential details is all that tends to happen |
| 05:01.40 | brlcad | gn00bie: oh, I think about that every couple days, if not several times a day |
| 05:01.49 | brlcad | goes with the work |
| 05:01.55 | TheRedBaron | ~brlcad++ |
| 05:02.10 | TheRedBaron | I used to be a prolific reader |
| 05:02.24 | TheRedBaron | then I got into computers ;) |
| 05:02.53 | TheRedBaron | yet still - whenever I walk into a bookstore - I always end up coming out with at least 3 books :) |
| 05:03.33 | TheRedBaron | I acquired my first library card at 6 years old - and I've worn it out. Yet I still have it :D |
| 05:03.40 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: I feel sorry for you unilinguist people, |
| 05:03.59 | brlcad | TheRedBaron: I have problems borrowing from the library .. |
| 05:04.06 | brlcad | I tend to not bring the books back :) |
| 05:04.10 | TheRedBaron | :D |
| 05:04.14 | TheRedBaron | gn00bie: oh? |
| 05:04.57 | TheRedBaron | I feel mildly ashamed for only knowing one language - but not self-pity :) |
| 05:05.15 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: there is just so much more literature out there that you will never read |
| 05:05.40 | TheRedBaron | translations :D |
| 05:05.55 | gn00bie | I am fluent in two languages, barely passable in two others, I cannot imagine speaking and understanding just one language |
| 05:06.30 | TheRedBaron | but even then - I just recently discovered that the english version of my favorite childhood book "Count of Monte Cristo" is an abridged version :( |
| 05:06.59 | TheRedBaron | only a few years back did a publisher go back and re-translate it from the original french and republish it |
| 05:07.06 | gn00bie | oh everything gets lost in translation |
| 05:07.19 | gn00bie | count of monte cristo is not a book, it is a freaking tome! |
| 05:07.53 | TheRedBaron | yup - 1200 pages of rich glory |
| 05:08.40 | TheRedBaron | and little do people know - is that the three musketeers is only the first book in a trilogy :( |
| 05:10.02 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: you should learn french now that you have a french speaking wife |
| 05:11.19 | TheRedBaron | i should. I should also learn spanish, seeing as my mom speaks it fluently along with a large part of my extended family |
| 05:12.03 | gn00bie | well, a large part of your extended family also speaks french |
| 05:12.22 | gn00bie | from your mom's side, I encourage you to scream more when you are in the GTO :P |
| 05:12.23 | Valumzie | oh, I read the Count of Monte Cristo in French over the Summer; that was AWESOME! |
| 05:12.41 | Valumzie | Im planning on read the Three Musketeers next :) |
| 05:13.11 | TheRedBaron | gn00bie: I was shocked and floored when I discovered that my Valumzie, a native french speaker and A masters in public history, had never read any of the works by Sir Alexander Dumas |
| 05:13.14 | gn00bie | though to be fair to you TheRedBaron - there was no tailout stuff when you were in the car, just not familiar enough with the lay of land to try stuff like that |
| 05:13.39 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: that is precisely why I asked Valumzie's mom - what did you pay TheRedBaron? :P |
| 05:13.46 | Valumzie | :P |
| 05:14.03 | Valumzie | They made me read a lot of other French authors in school... |
| 05:14.15 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: though let me put it out there, Dumas is overrated, at least in english |
| 05:14.23 | Valumzie | yet, my own father was also depressed when he heard the news about The Count of Monte Cristo |
| 05:14.30 | TheRedBaron | ~lart gn00bie |
| 05:14.30 | purl | pries gn00bie's back open with a screwdriver and flashes a new bootldr to gn00bie |
| 05:14.54 | TheRedBaron | sends gn00bie back to read the Count of Monte Cristo. |
| 05:15.01 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: I take it from the lart that you got $0, i.e. you got snookered? :P |
| 05:15.09 | TheRedBaron | Valumzie: did they make you read any Rousseau ? |
| 05:15.23 | Valumzie | yes |
| 05:15.24 | TheRedBaron | gn00bie: i did :( |
| 05:15.37 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: well, ermm.. sorry to hear that |
| 05:15.43 | gn00bie | ~console TheRedBaron |
| 05:15.44 | purl | ACTION gives TheRedBaron the consolation moose |
| 05:15.49 | TheRedBaron | gn00bie: have you read the short story, "The most Dangerous Game" ? |
| 05:16.02 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: nope, cannot say I have |
| 05:16.07 | TheRedBaron | faints |
| 05:16.32 | gn00bie | remember, english is my second or third language! |
| 05:16.44 | TheRedBaron | gn00bie: http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&id=T7XKEosRLbgC&dq=The+Most+Dangerous+Game&printsec=frontcover&source=web&ots=zigJMqkjtP&sig=lo7FzW9VPVJGL0If8KVwmyPBmp4&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=3&ct=result |
| 05:17.47 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: ah thanks, I need to read up on a lot of american fiction |
| 05:18.22 | TheRedBaron | sadly or not - I only read fiction while a teenager. But I had a strict rule. No works of fiction less then 50 years old :P |
| 05:18.33 | gn00bie | I intend to read Faulkner at some point |
| 05:18.53 | Valumzie | Faulkner is real tough to read |
| 05:18.56 | Valumzie | but amazing |
| 05:19.02 | gn00bie | oh there are some pretty good works in the last 50 years, no country for old men, fight club, |
| 05:19.24 | TheRedBaron | gn00bie: have you read the works of Mark Twain? |
| 05:19.38 | gn00bie | one disadvantage of going to an engineering only school, everyone either reads SF, or porn |
| 05:20.00 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: tom sawyer and huckelberry finn yes, but there is a lot of twain that I have not read |
| 05:20.25 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: when you come up to CT, the birthplace of Twain is a couple of hours away |
| 05:20.43 | TheRedBaron | gn00bie: you need to read: Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's court. |
| 05:21.08 | TheRedBaron | its a 'light' read but has all the acerbic wit of Twain :) |
| 05:21.32 | gn00bie | twain is dead but he is still funny |
| 05:21.58 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: another good book from the last 50 years - a clockwork orange |
| 05:22.09 | TheRedBaron | that book has my favorite quote. "Dictatorship is the best form of government when in the right hands - My hands" |
| 05:23.23 | gn00bie | my favourite quote is not in english |
| 05:25.18 | TheRedBaron | we lost brlcad |
| 05:25.56 | gn00bie | yeah, I think we lost him when we mentioned the hairdresser |
| 05:26.36 | TheRedBaron | gn00bie: I did make exceptions to my 50 year rule. examples being George Orwell, Fahrenheit 451, etc. Alot of political books. |
| 05:27.16 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: orwell is good, Fahrenheit is good |
| 05:27.41 | brlcad | sips a glass of aberlour 16 quietly |
| 05:27.48 | gn00bie | oh snap |
| 05:27.59 | gn00bie | goes to pour Ardbeg 10yo |
| 05:28.06 | TheRedBaron | Ever read: 'The Giver' by lowis lowry ? |
| 05:29.01 | TheRedBaron | or any works by C.S Lewis? |
| 05:29.16 | gn00bie | brlcad: cheers ( though I prefer the abunadh over the 16yo) |
| 05:29.47 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: the lowis lowry similar to CS Lewis? |
| 05:29.49 | brlcad | cheers |
| 05:32.22 | TheRedBaron | gn00bie: nope |
| 05:33.59 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: like I said, the scope of literature in a engineering only school is fairly limited :P |
| 05:34.45 | TheRedBaron | Edger Allen Poe ? |
| 05:36.03 | TheRedBaron | Oscar Wilde ? |
| 05:36.06 | gn00bie | no, not really, think And Quiet flows the Don (Mikhail Sholokov), Arthur C Clarke (pretty much all), Issac Asimov, etc |
| 05:36.19 | gn00bie | Oscar wilde - only the collected short stories |
| 05:37.25 | gn00bie | are you going to put a for sale sign on me now |
| 05:37.28 | gn00bie | :P |
| 05:37.28 | TheRedBaron | gn00bie: Read Jack London's "Sea Wolf" |
| 05:37.36 | TheRedBaron | Thats one of my favorite Books. |
| 05:38.05 | gn00bie | tell you what, I will hit Barnes and Nobles with 100 bucks |
| 05:38.08 | gn00bie | you give me a list |
| 05:40.01 | TheRedBaron | gn00bie: let me know what you feel like reading :) |
| 05:40.36 | gn00bie | will do, probably after DoDa comes back ;) |
| 05:43.08 | TheRedBaron | if you like Science fiction - look up Eric Nylund :) |
| 05:43.28 | TheRedBaron | Signal to noise, Signal Shattered, and Game of Universe :) |
| 05:44.02 | TheRedBaron | his other works are ok. |
| 05:44.14 | gn00bie | Eric Nylund, lemme google |
| 05:44.16 | TheRedBaron | but those three are an excellent read |
| 05:44.36 | gn00bie | ah a young whippersnapper |
| 05:44.39 | gn00bie | like you |
| 05:45.10 | gn00bie | oh no |
| 05:45.17 | gn00bie | he is employed by the dark side |
| 05:46.50 | TheRedBaron | only for the halo series - these works are pre-employment :P |
| 05:47.18 | TheRedBaron | and 1964? he is not a young whippersnapper like me :P |
| 05:48.55 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: compared to say Arthur C Clarke or Asimov (me) he is a whippersnapper (you) |
| 05:49.02 | TheRedBaron | or verne |
| 05:49.21 | TheRedBaron | or H.G. Wells |
| 05:49.41 | TheRedBaron | Please tell me you know Verne and H.G. Wells |
| 05:49.47 | gn00bie | yup |
| 05:49.53 | gn00bie | read all of Verne I think |
| 05:50.05 | TheRedBaron | and Wells? |
| 05:50.09 | gn00bie | 20,000 leagues under the sea, journey to the center of the earth, etc |
| 05:50.15 | gn00bie | wells read most of him |
| 05:50.55 | TheRedBaron | his Time Machine and The Invisible Man are my favorites works from him. |
| 05:51.19 | gn00bie | I think I might have only read the abridged version of the invisible man IIRC |
| 05:51.45 | gn00bie | the time machine was pretty darn good, with the Elois and the Morlocks (IIRC) |
| 05:51.59 | TheRedBaron | yup |
| 05:52.59 | gn00bie | if I had told you no to Verne and Wells, would you have ebayed me? :P |
| 05:54.21 | TheRedBaron | in a heartbeat |
| 05:54.29 | gn00bie | roflmao |
| 05:54.54 | gn00bie | well, Valumzie does not no dumas, and if I did not know verne, that would have been the end of the world as we know it |
| 05:55.11 | Valumzie | I do Dumas now ;) |
| 05:55.58 | TheRedBaron | gn00bie: kierra & co have my C.S Signature classics :( |
| 05:56.08 | TheRedBaron | although they claim innocence |
| 05:56.29 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: well, there is also a t-shirt that kierra and co. refuse to give up, right? |
| 05:56.46 | TheRedBaron | yes |
| 05:56.57 | TheRedBaron | comfiest shirt ever :( |
| 05:58.26 | gn00bie | kierra runs atihgt shp though, I think that shirt is gone forever |
| 05:58.55 | TheRedBaron | gn00bie: yes - i gave up hope on recovering that shirt :( |
| 05:59.51 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: you could try and get rb2/3 to go on a dangerous recovery mission, but it may be in a landfill already |
| 06:00.21 | gn00bie | the worrying part is that kierra never confessed to the cold blooded elimination of a perfectly good shirt |
| 06:00.43 | TheRedBaron | that is the worrying part |
| 06:02.13 | gn00bie | next time I get a chance, I will torture kierra in the car and see if she fesses up then |
| 06:02.41 | Valumzie | ~gn00bie++ |
| 06:02.58 | Valumzie | I remember my mother telling me I must have misplaced those things I liked and she hated.... |
| 06:02.59 | Valumzie | :P |
| 06:03.44 | gn00bie | Valumzie: I am open to putting your mother in the car and scaring her too |
| 06:03.49 | gn00bie | will she get scared? |
| 06:04.07 | Valumzie | oh, she will! |
| 06:04.11 | Valumzie | faster than kierra |
| 06:04.12 | Valumzie | :D |
| 06:04.33 | gn00bie | Valumzie: oooooh, I did not know that |
| 06:04.42 | Valumzie | oh yes |
| 06:04.59 | gn00bie | though to be fair to kierra - there was a lot of tail out stuff and she was screaming for a good reason |
| 06:05.18 | TheRedBaron | gn00bie: the sad part is (about the book) is I keep looking in my house, in hopes of finding it. But my house is not very big (as you have seen it) and I have yet to find it :( |
| 06:05.19 | gn00bie | see you should not have hidden your mom from me! |
| 06:05.33 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: sometimes things just grow legs and walk |
| 06:05.35 | Valumzie | gn00bie: she is still here until Saturday |
| 06:05.42 | Valumzie | then going close to Baltimore for two days |
| 06:06.05 | gn00bie | Valumzie: maybe next time, I am in deep getting ready for DoDa mode |
| 06:06.23 | Valumzie | :D |
| 06:06.30 | Valumzie | I kind of new I was safe ;) |
| 06:06.49 | gn00bie | maybe I do not even have to drive to scare her, maybe you can drive and scare her |
| 06:07.22 | gn00bie | though the GTO is a very different (and heavier) beast than your honda, just a much more meatier car, for good or for wrose |
| 06:07.34 | TheRedBaron | gn00bie: 4 cylinders, 1.6L - very hard to scare people with :( |
| 06:07.38 | Valumzie | gn00bie: I scared her today |
| 06:07.43 | Valumzie | with my dad rental car :P |
| 06:08.30 | gn00bie | TheRedBaron: the corners is where you can scare people with 1.6L |
| 06:08.42 | TheRedBaron | even with FWD ? |
| 06:08.58 | gn00bie | Valumzie: ooh, I sense a definite chance to recover your lost stuff, if a rental car scares her |
| 06:09.08 | gn00bie | we may even be able to do in just a straight line |
| 06:09.33 | Valumzie | gn00bie: I am not joking when I say she is easily scared :) |
| 06:09.44 | Valumzie | she is not a driver, so I think it makes things even funnier :) |
| 06:11.09 | gn00bie | oh I forgot that, you told me she does not even have a license |
| 06:11.16 | gn00bie | that makes it easy |
| 06:11.26 | Valumzie | yup :) |
| 06:11.32 | gn00bie | next time, please give me a 10 day advance notice |
| 06:11.41 | gn00bie | man, I should have scared her at your wedding |
| 06:11.44 | Valumzie | lol |
| 06:11.57 | gn00bie | it is very seldom that you meet such easy to scare people |
| 06:12.16 | gn00bie | DoDa has also done maybe 50 miles of driving in her life, but she does not scream (much), she just prays |
| 06:12.29 | gn00bie | over an year of living with me, she is used to living dangerously |
| 06:13.39 | Valumzie | see, thats why I love DoDa :P |
| 06:17.06 | gn00bie | :P |
| 06:17.41 | gn00bie | she has lived her life in downtown naples, not much sense is driving there |
| 06:18.08 | Valumzie | very true |
| 06:19.13 | Valumzie | she should also be used to italian driving |
| 06:19.17 | Valumzie | which is pretty scary |
| 06:22.15 | gn00bie | oh she has driven just enough to get her license |
| 06:22.33 | gn00bie | and that is it, I tried to get her to drive the automatic corolla, and she did OK because it was auto |
| 06:22.46 | gn00bie | she does not even try to drive a manual trans |
| 06:23.00 | Valumzie | really? |
| 06:23.42 | gn00bie | yup |
| 06:23.54 | gn00bie | and she turned 33 in October, imagine that :P |
| 06:24.01 | Valumzie | :) |
| 06:24.07 | gn00bie | in many ways my doda is like your mom (she is also blonde) |
| 06:24.12 | Valumzie | lol |
| 06:24.15 | Valumzie | now now gn00bie |
| 06:24.18 | Valumzie | be nice to DoDa |
| 06:24.20 | Valumzie | :) |
| 06:24.49 | Valumzie | I do love my mom; but I have asked TRB to hit me real hard the day I become too much like her... |
| 06:24.51 | Valumzie | :) |
| 06:25.08 | gn00bie | I think I need to put your mom in the gn00bie scare-o-meter first |
| 06:25.12 | gn00bie | then we shall see :P |
| 06:25.23 | Valumzie | :) |
| 06:25.25 | gn00bie | I don't remember how tall your mom is |
| 06:25.42 | Valumzie | a lil taller than me |
| 06:25.54 | Valumzie | probably 3 centimeters taller than me |
| 06:25.56 | Valumzie | something like that |
| 06:26.06 | gn00bie | ah ok, then my DoDa is safe, she is a little shorter than you and hence not like your mom |
| 06:26.35 | Valumzie | goody! |
| 06:26.38 | Valumzie | I am very relieved :) |
| 06:27.23 | gn00bie | :) |
| 06:27.41 | gn00bie | ever since I have had the orange car, DoDa has only been here for 20 days |
| 06:27.50 | gn00bie | so I have yet not had a chance to properly scare her |
| 06:29.00 | Valumzie | cant wait for the Spring :) |
| 06:29.41 | gn00bie | well, to be honest I cannot either |
| 06:29.49 | gn00bie | 6 weeks of winter weather is enough |
| 06:31.11 | Valumzie | hehe |
| 06:32.46 | gn00bie | there has been 33 inches of snow so far in the year |
| 06:33.15 | Valumzie | very nice :) |
| 06:33.16 | gn00bie | I take that back, 62.5 inches |
| 06:33.30 | gn00bie | that is more snow than you or my DoDa! |
| 06:33.32 | Valumzie | !!!!! |
| 06:33.35 | Valumzie | :P |
| 06:34.14 | gn00bie | 33 inches is in the last 4 days |
| 06:34.37 | TheRedBaron | heads to bed |
| 06:36.29 | gn00bie | puts TheRedBaron on the north pole |
| 06:36.33 | gn00bie | santa probably needs help |
| 06:36.52 | Valumzie | lol |

| 14:50.14 | Valumzie | so British men can multi task? |
| 14:50.32 | TheRedBaron | I still need confirmation from CBG |
| 14:51.22 | TheRedBaron | our resident british expert :P |

| 15:28.48 | kierra | the green car, gn00bie |
| 15:29.02 | kierra | not the miata |
| 15:29.06 | gn00bie | is the miata green? *goes to check* |

| 15:30.24 | CBG | The concoction of antibiotics, etc they gave him in hospital via a drip meant he was good enough to come hom and take the same stuff in tablets for a week |
| 15:30.34 | CBG | there wasn't one that I am aware of |
| 15:30.43 | CBG | just that the drugs worked so they sent him home... |
| 15:30.54 | kierra | how long was he in the hosp? |
| 15:30.54 | CBG | I picked him up in a taxi etc |
| 15:31.09 | CBG | about 5 days, iirc |
