<Puffin> My mom did a lot of it in college and really enjoyed it
<Puffin> by it, I mean ethnomusicology, and also weed

<Crake> Eh, I told a little old lady that if she asked for more cream cheese on her bagel she would look like a bukkake starlet after her first bite.

<Alkthash> why would you ban evade at TVT?
<Alkthash> It's like trying to play with the annoying older brother who keeps beating you up and breaking your toys.
<Alkthash> Sure they may seem cool, but when the divorce settlement comes and you each have to go with different parents, you aren't supposed to miss the sibling who made fun miserable.
<Alkthash> This metaphor keeps getting depressing now that  I think about what I'm actually saying.

<Solstace> We've been through this, I thought. Lou is sane in his own bizarre and twisted way. I'm a future serial killer :P

<Tzetzuooooo> er, don't have what?
<blamedaaaaa> a penis, money, decisiveness, Netflix
<Tzetzuooooo> Surgery, theft, more surgery, money
<blamedaaaaa> I don't even want the first for myself, but the rest would be nice
<Tzetzuooooo> You totally want a penis, just not on you.  Don't be denyin' the penis mojo.
<blamedaaaaa> I mean, I would like one with a person attached for the sake of having a person, but not attached to me
<Tzetzuooooo> Ha, you actually went through with the awkwardness
<Tzetzuooooo> Good show!

<Charlatan> I would describe the state of IT development as cancerous right now
<Charlatan> It is advancing rapidly but without any restraint or sensibility
<Nitya> haha you don't even know how many rants i hear about startups every day
<Rig> Or how many I make a day.
<Rig> Startups.
<Rig> Not rants.
<Nitya> rig's latest startup is a replacement for irc optimized for complaining about startups

<feep> :ahem:
<feep> identity equals record of work
<feep> thank you
<feep> (yes that means consciousness is basically bitcoin)
<feep> (yes that means you can build a currency on it)
<Hopper> Logical conclusion, everybody is inflated pigheads in the future

<BonSequitur> "So it's an action-tactics word game RPG in which you create a character and cast spells by interacting with other characters with a natural language interface. It's set in a post-modern Victoriana-meets-New-Wave universe, to the music of Radiohead. The end boss is a Steampunk mecha hitler."
<Nitya> I like it, Bon, where's your Kickstarter
<BonSequitur> "Oh, and it's a F2P social game with Facebook integration as well."
<Nitya> :<
<BonSequitur> I'm setting up a Kickstarter for the Kickstarter for that project.
<BonSequitur> As you know, making a sweet Kickstarter presentation costs money.
<Nitya> Good, good.  Maybe you can get some VCs to fund that Kickstarter.
<BonSequitur> Actually, I was in talks with a microfinancing outfit about getting some seed funding to pay for my trip to go talk to VCs who can potentially help fund the kickstarter for my awesome Kickstarter presentation for the game project.
<IllFlower> Microfinancing is passé now. We've been using marginal loss-based nanofinancing sourced from urban pedestrian traffic corridors for our project.
<BonSequitur> IllFlower, you mean you've been taking lost change from sidewalks?
<IllFlower> That's what the venture capitalists said when they laughed at my financing scheme. We'll see who pelts whom with quarters next time we meet!
<Nitya> I think there's a viable tax deduction for that.
<IllFlower> Form 1067-N, line 26(a): Deductions for coinage used as munitions.
<Nitya> Sometimes, the system does work. :)

<Solstace> But I'm waiting to do that until I have the body at a satisfactory point.

<BonSequitur> Oh, no.
<BonSequitur> I'm taking a sidestep into bat country.
<BonSequitur> COCKBAT country.
