<IllFlower> I would write a Solstace/Tzetze haiku, but just writing out their names takes nine of the seventeen mora I have available
[...]
<IllFlower> ツェツェに そっと口づく ソルスタス but that lacks the essential //poetry// of a haiku.
<IllFlower> On the other hand, since nobody here can actually read that, I'll just write random Japanese gibberish and pretend it's Soltze haiku.

<Barcode[WoT]> meowth can learn anything, including english

<Abyssinia> He's generally agreed to have invented firefighting, libraries, and prostitution, though.
<Abyssinia> And lightning.
<stiva> I heard he invented thinking.
<Abyssinia> That's actually an urban legend, he just applied for the first American patent on it.

<zeroplusalpha> "Let x denote the lack of understanding demonstrated by zpa. Let y be the function of discussion by IRC. Deriving t = time from (x1, y1), how long will it take before zpa watches some moe anime instead?

<Solstace> "Registered users: Google [Bot], Solstace" <- Huh.
<Solstace> (from Novafest)
<RocketDude> I told you about bots, bro! I told you, dawg!
<todolistplusalpha> I knew it!
<Barcode> yep. solstace is a google bot.
<RocketDude> Solstace, in reality, was a cyborg built to become the ultimate soldier
<Barcode> instead he seeks to become the ultimate bard.
<Solstace> But mass production was deemed too expensive, so I put my mechanical excellence to use playing guitar.
<todolistplusalpha> There's an anime in this somewhere.
<JuanCarlos> It's not like Solstace's life being an animu would be surprising
<Barcode> A robot harem anime? I think you mean "there is one currently in production and we just don't know about it yet".

<Noimporta|shower> As for me, it's time to cleanse the evil that inhabits my body.
<GuitarBizarre>  Got the shits?

<Nitya> 2016 is going to be the International Year of Pulses what does that even mean i love it
<Fiora> beep

<Rig> Darling, 2016 can be the year you make my pulse race.
<Rig> Or beans.
<Rig> It could be beans.

<BarcoProxy> it hurts me to say this but it might be possible that after this is done I will have to say of evangelion "at least it wasn't ergo proxy"
<Nitya> you have the weirdest standards.
<BarcoProxy> my standards are "looks cool and makes sense" but nothing fits both of them!
* BarcoProxy buries his head in his hands.
* Nitya pats BarcoProxy on the shoulder before starting to speak an old french poem about sex in backwards hebrew
* BarcoProxy screams.

<Juan> yo at the risk of sounding like someone with a death wish
<JBridge> Do it.
<Nitya> jbridge............................
<JBridge> What?

<Nitya> what i'm getting out of that is that new leftists care more about aesthetics, such as marx's foretelling of Utena, than 3economics
<Myrmidon> Marx also predicted Garzey's Wing
<Nitya> marx's lack of understanding of akiocar was a major flaw that communism's never quite recovered from
<ponicalica> had zettai unmei mokushiroku been the national anthem of the soviet union, it wouldn't've collapsed
<Nitya> subs vs dubs was also the main impetus of the sino soviet split.
<taelor> that was just the second iteration of that particular dispute. The original was bolsheviks/mensheviks.
<Nitya> that was over whether the evangelion dub cast was good or not, specifically
<Nitya> the albanian split was over whether "nakama" should be translated in subs or not.
<taelor> Stalin had Trotsky assassinated because Leon said Josef's waifu was "shit tier".
