<Atob> OR WHAT HITLER DID WITH POLAND

<Atob> Oh, this sheet says it doesn't have to be done till
       Thursday the 4th of October.
<Atob> that's not till 2007.
<Atob> And I'm doing it like an idiot.

<Atob> Everything makes more sense once it's in an emacs buffer.

<Atob> Thou whoreson Zed, thou unneccessary letter!

<Atob> Everyone wastes their life. Achievement is a myth propagated 
       by advocates of the State.
<Atob> I'm bored, let's make a new chat room!!!

<Atob> Did you know that toast has the highest base weight of any substance 
       known to man?
<Atob> You could put a house on it and it'd still be "house on toast".
<Atob> Even in a vacuum.

<Atob> Let's get nachos.

<Atob> Anthrax Buddy.
<Atob> It looks like you're infecting a busy metropolis!
<Atob> Would you like to open a wizard?

<Atob> In France they call football "le football" but in Quebec they
       call it "le soccer".

<Atob> In the future we'll wear chrome jumpsuits and won't need lossy
       compression because our chrome jumpsuits will have hard drives
       in with four BILLION gigabytes.
<Atob> And gigabytes will be renamed zarquads.

<Atob> Thunderbirds is set in the PAST but also the FUTURE.

<Atob> Germans spell everything funny.

<Atob> And "Europe" as "a challenge"

<Atob> When I die, I'm going to exit with a return code of MISSION ACCOMPLISHED

<Atob> Fallacy, fallacy, they've all got it fallacy.

<Atob> Mice aren't very useful in this day and age.
<Atob> They've been rendered mostly obsolete by keyboards.
<Atob> A wonderful invention, the keyboard.
<Atob> It's where I hang *all* my keys.

<Atob> What's the best kernel in the world?
<sneakums> That very much depends on who you ask.
<Atob> I'm sure there must be a discussion forum of some kind that I
       could go to to get an objective value judgement!

<Atob> Now I have a sheet and quilt mountain on my chair.
<Atob> This is like a puzzle.
<Atob> And I don't have all the pieces.
<Atob> And if I take the quilt off the chair then I'll leave the
       sheets behind and the pillows will eat them!

<Atob> I'm ripping an ELTON JOHN CD for my FATHER.
<Atob> He's given me a million CDs to do.
<Atob> That is, five.

<Atob> If Father Ted has taught me nothing else, and it hasn't, it's
       that all Irish people are hilarious priests and there's a
       cynical one and a stupid one and an old drunk one!

<Atob> The Liberal party has BOTH kinds of liberal in.
<Atob> Country AND western.
<Atob> I mean
<Atob> Social AND business.

<Atob> <America> Are you looking at my bird?

<Atob> In the school yearbook it said that Keiran's hair colour is "blonde".
<Atob> In fact, it says "blonde" for all the blond haired males.
<Atob> I'm never going to that school again.
<Atob> They're incompetent.

<Atob> I hate getting sucked into the internet.
<Atob> There should be more dead ends.

<Atob> Sneakums's definition of "like" is "haven't got around to ignoring yet"

<Atob> I'm in love with mailleds.
<Atob> I should make the other LEDs be used for CPU load and network traffic
       or something geeky.
<Atob> Though then I'd probably miss the mail.

<Atob> "Q: I would like to send an E-mail to the Secretary-General to propose an
       idea for how to achieve global unity. What is his E-mail address?"
<Atob> Best FAQ question ever.

<Atob> "The pre-dawn protests constitute the biggest show of opposition to 
       Iran's clerics in months."
<Atob> I like how that looks impressive till they added the "months".

<Atob> My console's caught a disease.
<Atob> I HOPE IT ISNT TERMINAL

<philb> it's odd the way the only man who could truly explain the Iraq
        dossier in the Government vs BBC thing is now dead.
<chris> Not really.
<chris> IN ANY WAY
<philb> No?
<chris> No way, loads of people wanted him dead.

<Gratitor> Holy thankfullness, ThanksMan.

<Atob> Aquatic mammals are basically the terrestrial mammals of the sea.

<sneakums> So how did you 'lose' your private key?
<Atob> I accidentally ran `rm -rf /`
<Atob> The other week or so.
<Atob> I like to live dangerously. 
<Atob> I believe that that rm -rf / was part of a Russian roulette thing.
<Atob> [ $[ $RANDOM % 6 ] == 0 ] && rm -rf / || echo "You live"

<Atob> How do you make a Belgian waffle?
<Atob> Ask him about beer!

<Atob> Man, this lunch is basically a comedy.
<Atob> Originally, I had two slices of bread in sandwich formation.
<Atob> The problem, of course, being that a structure that size is quite
       unwieldy.
<Atob> Obviously, I set about cutting the sandwich in half.
<Atob> But much to my horror, I managed to cut it in something other than
       halves.
<Atob> So basically I created a new problem without solving the old one.
<Atob> Now I have one part that's far too large, and one part that's far too
       small!
<Atob> I feel like Mr Bean.

<chris> who(1)'s the cat(1) that won't cp(1) out, when there's Satan all about?
<chris> jesux

-Global(services@services.slashnet.org)- Due to networking problems we lost 
          half the network; we are working on it and hope to have all restored

<Atob> You fools, don't work on it, you lost the bad half!
<Atob> WE WON
<Atob> DON'T YOU SEE?!

<chris> I'm going to write to my MEP.
<chris> You might think I'd have five MEPs
<chris> but actually
<chris> they combine
<chris> when they get to Strasbourg
<chris> and they become twenty seven feet tall
<chris> and they EAT BELGIAN DEPUTIES WHOLE!

<chris>         <@Awt> 15 years for 3066 counts of accessory to murder? WTF
<chris>         <XDice> yeh, he missed that 3,067th strike law.
<chris>         <frash> hahaha
<chris> ^-- Useless Quotation of "hahaha"
<chris> I bet it was frash that submitted it.
<chris> What a prick.
<chris> I bet he didn't even laugh in real life.
<chris> It was probably more like
<chris> <XDice> I am incredibly funny and attractive.
<chris> <frash> Gosh, boss, I don't get it.... duuuuhhh
<chris> <XDice> Frash, you *idiot*, just quote me.
<chris> <frash> Duuuuh... okay, boss!
<chris> <Xdice> AND DONT QUOTE YOUSELF SAYING HAHAH
<chris> <frash> oops!
<chris> Man, I hate frash.
<sneakums> Me too.

<Atob> How fast could a train travel?
<Atob> Like on ocean rails or under the sea.
<Atob> Ocean rails or, as they're called in some parts of the
       English-speaking world, "bridges".

<sneakums> http://bash.org/?44985 <-- don't fuck with God

<Atob> Yes.

<Atob> But I don't know why.

<Atob> When I stop bouncing I feel like I'm falling.
<Luke> You are Sonic the Hedgehog and I claim my $5.

<Atob> Blogs are the bane of my googling life.

<matticus> man pigdog hasn't been updated for three months
<matticus> what's with that?
<Atob> I don't know.
<Atob> OR EVEN CARE
<Atob> I can't stomach such outdated material.
<Atob> It's like watching repeats of the news.
<Atob> Or reading the Bible.

<Atob> I like how every decision that matters is made by judges, these days.
<Atob> We just need a written constitution so they can decide on the laws.
<Atob> It is also my opinion that the judiciary should act as referee in 
       association football matches and as host on televesion game shows.

<Atob> "We're developing the social individualist meta-context for the future."
<Atob> Yes, friends!  The social individualist meta-context for the FUTURE!

<chris> a alphabetically be in organised sentence should words

<Atob> My computer fan is annoying me.
<Atob> I wish it would shut up.
<Atob> I'm going to kick it a few times.
<Atob> That sure didn't work.
<Atob> Unless the objective was to wake my parents up.
<Atob> In which case, it worked just swell.

<Atob> There sure are a lot of white people in Cardiff.

<Atob> I like how people use the term "fascist dictator" with an emphasis on 
       the "fascist".
<Atob> As if other dictators are basically good guys who torture people as
       part of some hilarious madcap chain of events.
<Atob> Comrade Stalin, we accidentally tortured seventeen of your political 
       opponents, killing five!
<Atob> *STALIN SLAPS HIS FACE*
<Atob> *MUSIC: Wap wap waaaaap*

<sneakums> "Justice Y. V. Chandrachud explained that he had a ``diamond hard,
           diamond bright faith'' in the Government. (More recently he
           demonstrated a similar touching faith in our cricketers over
           allegations of match-fixing)."
<Atob> im diamond hard and i touch ur faith

<deblon> what are you downloading?
<Atob> Debian installer.
<Atob> Although, to be fair, I hardly know 'er.

<Atob> Queen Victoria signed the declaration of war against Russia in 1853 as 
       "Victoria, Queen of Great Britain, Ireland, Berwick-upon-Tweed and all 
       British Dominions".
<Atob> But she signed the peace treaty without Berwick-upon-Tweed.
<Atob> So technically, there's a case to be made saying that
       Berwick-upon-Tweed is currently at war with Russia.
<Torsten> What's so special about Berwick-upon-Tweed?
<Atob> It kept getting transferred between Scotland and England.
<Torsten> Who did it end up with?
<Atob> It's technically part of England, these days, but I like to lay in bed 
       and pretend that the Reform Act of 1885 never happened.
<Atob> Oh.
<Atob> A peace treaty was signed between the Soviet Union and the Mayor of 
       Berwick-upon-Tweed in 1966. 
<Atob> This is the sort of thing that children should be taught in school.

<Atob> Waltzing my tilde.

<Atob> "British man faces 'dirty bomb' charges"
<Atob> Dirty, dirty bomb.

<chris> It's very hard to talk in a channel that hasn't been tobbed up at all.
<chris> Nobody understands me.
<chris> It's horrible.

[2003Dec25 10:49:45] <Atob> Man, BBC 1 has Christian stuff on.
[2003Dec25 10:49:55] <Atob> They hijack everything.
[2003Dec25 10:49:57] <Atob> IS NOTHING SACRED?!
[2003Dec25 10:50:14] <Atob> They'll be religiousising Easter next.

<Atob> If I had a veto I'd use it all the time.
<Atob> I'd just be all, "Hey, that's an interesting prop- VETO"
<Atob> And then laugh.
<Atob> Someone should make me the Queen.
<Atob> I'd veto every god damn law going.
<Atob> And then they'd try to abolish me
<Atob> and I'd veto their abolition!

<Atob> I don't believe in relationships.
<Atob> I'm like UDP.
<Atob> Every interaction I make is a single packet.
<Atob> just by itself
<Atob> That means that I need to write error control myself.
<Atob> Error control for my *heart*.

<Atob> Socialists are all, "Everything'll be great if we just cast the
       right spells".
<Atob> Free marketers are all, "Everything'll be great, the spell's
       already a-runnin'!"
<Atob> It's like in Harry Potter.

<Atob> I have the latest issue of THE ECONOMIST on my bed, when I'm ready
       for a dose of capitalist pig propaganda.

<Atob> You know what I hate?
<Atob> I hate it when, in films or commercial advertisements, business people
       say "the Germans" without pronouncing it as "ze Chermans".

<Atob> Why did the cow blush?

<Atob> Because the milkweed.
<deblon> hahaha, i hate you

<chris> I founded a Republic independent of the Yoke of the English 
        imperialists and all I got was this lousy Taoiseach.

<Atob> How tall are you, sneakums, is it 6`43"?
<sneakums> About sixish footish, I think.
<Atob> How much do you weigh, is it x?
<sneakums> Yes, where X is too bloody much.
<sneakums> I *know* I'm overweight.
<sneakums> It's doing something about it is the problem.
<Atob> I'm working out a regime for you.
<sneakums> I'll never keep to it.
<Atob> I prescribe four months of living on *ash*.

<Atob> I hate the internet so much.
<Atob> I also hate talking to people.
<Atob> I'm a fish out of water in a world I never made.

<Atob> There should be a word for that period of panic between hitting scroll 
       lock and realising that you've hit scroll lock.

<Atob> Drinking ready to serve custard straight out of the carton is like 
       suckling on Christ's nipple.

<Atob> Holy crap.
<Atob> You know that feeling you get when you wake up after drinking a lot the 
       night before and, after a few minutes, you realise that you did 
       something incredibly crazy last night?
<Atob> I just had that, except I wasn't drinking and I learnt Java.

<Atob> German's just Dutch passed through a ARE YOU LOOKING AT MEIN BIRD filter.

<Atob> I don't think that being in this Libertarian Socialist community is 
       enriching my life, much.
<Atob> Nobody responded to my "my favrout libertarion socielist is tolkien 
       because his elves r hawt" post.

<Atob> There is no escape.

<Atob> I hate it when I get a new mail
<Atob> so I open up mutt
<Atob> and start reading it
<Atob> But then I get bored and go back to IRC.
<Atob> Then I notice I've got a new mail, so I open up mutt.
<Atob> By the time I've finished reading it I have three mutts open.

<Atob> I hate it when mozilla stops working properly
<Atob> and every mouse click does something I don't want it to do.
<Atob> Then I realise that my leg's on the ctrl key.
<watson> You scare me.

<Atob> "Tides kill 18 cockle pickers"
<Atob> A tragic yet hilarious event.

<chris> Hey, there's a language called "Entsy".

<chris>              {Enets}, {Entsi}, {Yenisei}, {Yenisei-Samoyed},
<chris>              {Yeniseian}]
<chris> Best language ever.

<chris> Let's go to the Urals.
<chris> We can hop back and forth between Asia and Europe.
<chris> Or you can stay in Europe
<chris> and I'll say, "See you next continent!" and run to Asia.

<caycos> they're very cool

<Atob> "Able to work and looking for work?"
<Atob> Why, that's me!

<Atob> "Sunnis and Shias must play an equal part in a new Iraq"

<Atob> Domestication of the noodle was one of the kickstarts for human
       development.

<Atob> What's safesearch.exe?
<Screwtape> Some horrible spyware, I bet.
<Atob> Yeah.
<Atob> NO INTERNET ACCESS FOR YOU
<Atob> Good old zone alarm.
<rasher> I hate zone alarm

<Atob> But it's better than a kick in the teeth.

<Atob> Beans on toast is the nicest thing to happen to me in years.
<deblon> what do you put on your beans?
<Atob> Nothing.
<Atob> What kind of pervert puts things on beans?
<Atob> Then it'd be foo on beans on toast.
<Atob> That's too many layers, it'd be unstable.
<Atob> So many beans
<Atob> I got more bread to finish off the survivors.
<Atob> Bathing suit season be damned.

<Atob> I try to be an intelligent, informed animal.

<Atob> M-theory is like a poorly constructed house built on a swamp.
<Atob> "M-theory is a solution proposed for the unknown theory of
       everything which would combine all five superstring theories
       and 11-dimensional supergravity together."
<Atob> Maybe if you add loads of non-falsifiable hypotheses together
       you'll hit jackpot!

<Atob> Having a computer is great.
<Atob> I could display goat porn and nobody could do anything about it.

<Atob> There was some guy at the bus stop with a "not my president" T-shirt.

<Atob> Sometimes I hate states so much.
<Atob> It's like they're tightrope walking above our heads
<Atob> and the fatter they get, the more likely it is for us to suddenly

<Atob> Abstraction's a wonderful thing.
<Atob> It turns real life into stories.

<Atob> It all went well.
<Atob> I got back in, did some pitta-fu with lettuce and fake mayo.
<Atob> Then I had to attend to my brother's RANDOM NOSEBLEED
<Atob> Then I came upstairs and sat down on my bed.
<Atob> then I said, "I'm back"
<Atob> "It all went well."

<Atob> The thought of a fully aquatic mammal just turns me on.
<Atob> I mean, a cetacean is practically human!
<Atob> Compared with, say, a frog.
<Atob> And yet they're like big old mammalian boats.
<Atob> BOATS
<Atob> I wish I were a boat.

       Swap is very important to the Hurd."

<atob> and came across a guy who seemed to be profoundly affected by a "OMG 
       MAYBE THE MATRIX IS REAL POST"
<atob> And wrote something along the lines of "shit, what's the point of my

<atob> The punchline being of course that degrees are always pointless, in all 
       possible universes.

I've been picking up my guitar more, and finding my voice again a

and Kant and Hume getting into a fight down the pub, respectively).

       people with heart problems!
