Channel SubGenius IRC 6-23-96

WHERE WERE YOU??

> = Stang

<strings> Whoa

Yoyo Maestro... you there?

<strings> Yes sir I am here

Seems like some madness was happening.

<strings> We are having net split problems

No, not the sort of madness one might expect.

<strings> This is a common IRC flaw <Annieland> im rally curious about something <Annieland> really too

Which? The lack of madness? Curious? YEs?

<strings> You provide the madness <Annieland> ok i just got this stark fist intermim update

Yes, yes yes?

<Annieland> interim <Annieland> it is the first thing ive gotten from the church since my joining it in 1990

I'm glad somebody's getting those things.

*strings* do you know how to give me "ops" ? <Annieland> ive changed my address 4 times since then <Annieland> HOW DID YOU FIND ME!?!??!

You musta missed a mailing, Annieland, or two... 'cause there were some in

between. <Annieland> well maybe because i was between addresses

We have special magic ways of procuring new addresses from the aethers. Also,

we let the PO check our disks for changes. <Annieland> im such so astounded that this mailing found me after all these years <Annieland> such=just <Annieland> im delirious tonight

SubGenii seem to be fairly migratory. Some will stay in one place for 100

years, others move every week. <Annieland> wow, well thanks for finding me <_SheKat_> sorry no time ... tried to do cpr on someone yesterday she died ... time now is all we have

DOBBS KNOWS ALL, SEES ALL. He sees every SubGenius that moves, every sparrow that falls after some kid

slingshots it.

I'm a bit confused as to what this "mode" business is. Who's moding who? Can I mode your dog?

<strings> Boy

My mode is broke, you'll have to use the outhouse.

<strings> Uh, Stang you have ops, the @ onyou nick <Annieland> stang is a newbie i think... hehehe :) <Annieland> pretty ironic

The... @ onyou nick....

<strings> Right

Hell yes I'm a newbie to this IRC thang. I monkey with it now and then...

every few months.

Was gonna try to make it more regular.

<strings> Stang, it's bad form to show a lack of knowledge, just act like you understand

Heck, we were able to find Annieland's address after 6 years, what more

miracles do you need? This faithless generation.

I have "OPS". That means I weild the power of life and death, right? I'll tell ya, the plinking noise this thing makes when people come and go is

maddening.

I should put a 3 Stooges effect or something there.

<strings> Close it nm <SeaRobin> Welcome Back.....what server are you all using? <yoyopro> Close, it means you can "kick" others, that is like death to a net-head <Annieland> even worse, you can BAN.

Yeah... I wouldn't kick anybody less'n they kicked me first, or talked bad

about my dog.

So it's like I'm the talk show host and can cut off the boring callers, eh?

<Annieland> you want it invite only??

No, why invite only? Hell I announced it on alt.slack, though apparently

nobody paid much attention.

Those newsgroup-heads, that's all they wanna do... bury their heads in that

newsgroup. I think they fear strangers.

I LIKE strangers. Strangers are THOSE WHO HAVEN'T BOUGHT MEMBERSHIPS YET.

<yoyopro> That ought to help <Annieland> stang, type /mode #subgenius -i <yoyopro> evermind <Annieland> ill teach ya something <SeaRobin> This lag is too much for me..... *** Mode change "-i " on channel #subgenius by Stang <Annieland> yay

What did I do?

<Annieland> you removed the invite only mode <strings> To help pu

Good old pu How did it get into invite mode to begin with?

<strings> Boy this is a mess, between StLouis and Loell servers , it's a medss. Bad night for IRC... <Annieland> get on dallas <Annieland> thats what everyone i know uses

Your speech is strange to me, string boy. Everybody I know uses frop, not dallas!

<Annieland> frop?

Dallas ... hell you gotta eat 5 bathtubs full of Dallas to "get off"

<Annieland> you're ON dallas stang, good boy <Annieland> oh boy..

Frop is the main PIL that Dobbs makes us take... the side effects aren't as

bad as they used to be...

I know I'm IN dallas. Didn't know I as ON the damn city.

<Annieland> ahh <Annieland> its been six years, forgive me

Are you saying there's a Dallas server that works well, and I just happen to

be using it? <Annieland> yup! <Annieland> luck is on your side tonight!

So what happens when somebody opens #subgenius? Will it always come "here" or

can there be other #subgenius(s) simultaneously? <Annieland> they will come he <Annieland> her <Annieland> here <Annieland> sorry <yoyopro> This channel is a MESS <yoyopro> A chocolate mess <yoyopro> "The dirty deal;er meant no harm!" <yoyopro> I did that

For instance, when I say on alt.slack that there'll be a SubG IRC thing on

Sundays at #subgenius, do I need to be more specific than that? <Annieland> yes <Annieland> Tell them it's on Undernet <yoyopro> now I"ll switch <Annieland> i went looking on efnet first

So I need to specify it's on Undernet.

<Annieland> ill check efnet and see if anyone's there

What's the dif, in a nutshell... since you have nothing better to do than

educate poor old doddering Stang?

I mean what's the dif between efnet and undernet? Aside from the PG ratings?

<Annieland> heh.. its just another faction of irc.. <SeaRobin> What server are ya'll on.....I got a lag like a bunch of teamsters on a road crew. <Annieland> Dallas, searobin *yoyopro* Okay, now... type this: /mode #subgenius +o yoyopro *yoyopro* Please! <Annieland> no one's on efnet in #subgenius btw *** Mode change "+p " on channel #subgenius by Stang <strings> It's just another IRC system, really, not much diff

OH MY GOD, WHAT DID YOU MAKE ME DO??!? MY FACE IS ON FIRE!!!

<Annieland> now you need a password <strings> You did that without knowing what the "P" stands for I bet <SeaRobin> Stang...disconnect your speaker. The beeps will go away. <strings> You thought It was "sumthin else"

Yeah, I thought P stood for that special drink that Dr. Gordon always makes

everybody sip at Dokstok. *yoyopro* STANG

But do we want the poor hapless OTHERS to need a password?

*yoyopro* > Okay, now... type this: /mode #subgenius +o yoyopro <strings> Stang give me ops so you don't mess this up any further

There, I did it. Why are you mind-controlling me?

<yoyopro> You seem to need it

You are welcome to it!

<SeaRobin> I got news of it in the new "Stark Fist", the first one I've gotten since 1985

PLEASE -- TAKE MY MIND!!! I'll warn you, it's probably got the Janor virus.

<yoyopro> Well I can't walk over and get it, you have to type the command <Annieland> searobin: YAY IM NOT ALONE!

I do have a piece of paper that says it's okay, though... I really do.

<yoyopro> type this: /mode #subgenius +o yoyopro <Annieland> i think stang is using a client though

I DID type that. Okay, I'll try again.

*** Mode change "+o yoyopro " on channel #subgenius by Stang <yoyopro> very good *** Mode change "-p " on channel #subgenius by yoyopro <SeaRobin> Look whos back....Hi LBall

Why didn't it work the first time?

<yoyopro> I can't tell you why <Annieland> this could be a shot in the dark, but i take it Stang didn't make that hella gorgeous SUBsite page? <yoyopro> He put a lot of work into it for sure

SeaRobin, since 1985 we mailed out quite a few Stark Fists. However, this

time we took advantage of a new postal system whereby they can correct dead addresses. <Annieland> maybe he did make it <Annieland> wow i think thats the most lavish page ive ever, ever seen

I did indeed lay out most of the enormous SubSITE. My expertise however does

not extend to IRC. <yoyopro> Stang, is anyone we know going to be here? <yoyopro> IRC and web do not necisarrilly go hand in hand <Annieland> well, kudos for you then

I TRIED... I announced it on alt.slack, AFTER ascertaining that my service

was working again. <Annieland> im impressed <yoyopro> Yes IT's a great site. Truly great. Thank you stang

I also printed it in that mailing. Obviously that's how SeaRobin and

Annieland happened here... am I right? <strings> I just put some new stuff on my site <Annieland> yup

YES, yes, it is indeed the greatest of all great great websites, and I am the

greatest... hey wait, I think I DID have SOME help. <yoyopro> My site's not to shabby either. But the SubSite makes it look like puke

Well I'm kinda disappointed that NONE of the alt.slack regulars showed... but

I swear... they are SO stodgy and old fashioned. <yoyopro> Anybody want the URL <yoyopro> ? <Annieland> sorry :( <yoyopro> I'll tell you anyway

Some of those yoyos (no offense Chuck) have been on the Internet for 10 years

and they still can't attach a text file. <yoyopro> http://www.suba.com/~yoyopro/goose.htm <Annieland> hehe <yoyopro> I told you never to call me that Doug

OKAY THEN, "GERTRUDE"!!! Hey, would you ftp that frappy my way, bro?

<yoyopro> Well, check this out..

You other folks should know that yoyopro isn't just a cute name. That guy

really is a professional yoyo magician. <SeaRobin> Thanks

You oughta see him do "The Eye-Blackener"

<Annieland> wow *** CTCP: yoyopro sent a command: SOUND bonghit.wav plays a wav <strings> Don't make me brag <Annieland> i cant even yo yo unless its one of those elastic automatic snap back ones <strings> Check out my site for the details

Yoyopro can make that thing orbit your head three times, knock an ice cube

out of your cocktail glass and come back to him with it. <Annieland> funky <yoyopro> The "Three-At-Once" trick is real POP ular witht he ladies

It's the truth, he's like a yoyo Zen master. He and Dobbs both studied under

the same Master. Years apart, though. <yoyopro> Right, Mast Foo Lung... in the Phillipines

I had to supply 3 shor-dur-divorces after he did that trick on three gals at

the Chicago subcon

How is old Lung doing these days?

<yoyopro> Stang, it's just you me and Annie here <yoyopro> Tell us about yourself \Annie

Well I guess that proves my theory, that alt.slack is all ghosts and bots.

<Annieland> hmmmm:) <strings> Stang, I seriously did have some CD ROM projuect ideas <Annieland> whew

Yes, Annie. DIVULGE ALL YOUR CONFESSIONS to us. We're priests.

<Annieland> not

Well, you're a priest too.

<Annieland> yeah i was gonna say that <Annieland> im something

Let's make somebody else confess then.

<Annieland> im whatever that 20 bucks 6 years ago got me

If only we could use torture. They'll confess to all MANNER of crap.

<Annieland> 20 bucks plus the cost of the book of the subgenius

That $20 got you a ticket to Paradise... a first class Escape Vessel seat.

<Annieland> and i also picked up that high weirdness by mail at the bookstore once.. thats one of yours, right? <Annieland> so i must say, i'm a wee bit star-struck here :)

You got off CHEAP! It's $30 now... goes up to $300 next year, then $3,000,

then... well then the world ends. For THEM... <yoyopro> Stang- Hi yoyopro. Stang is running Homer 0.94 TCP. <yoyopro> Homer ? <yoyopro> What the hell is that? <Annieland> homer!! <Annieland> im on homer

Yes, I'm using Homer.

<Annieland> stang you're on a mac! <yoyopro> Oh.. now I see <yoyopro> Does it support sound requests?

I'm riding a great big old bucking bronco of a Mac.

<Annieland> no, none of that .wav crap <yoyopro> shoot <SeaRobin> Whats up with the CDRom Stang.....Is that cost me plenty?

Mine will do sound, but I have to have that particular wav for it to play,

right? Like I'd already have to HAVE your "bonghit" wav to have it work when you wanted it to, right? <yoyopro> Right. <yoyopro> Do you want it? <yoyopro> It's cool

So wouldn't you have to email me the wav? Or would it come through Homer

somehow? <yoyopro> I'd dcc send it to you right now

DCC... so where would it appear?

-yoyopro- DCC SEND bonghit.wav (198.87.202.135) *** DCC SEND (bonghit.wav) request received from yoyopro <yoyopro> There <Annieland> open yer dcc window stang

I cain't hear nothin, much less SMELL it.

<yoyopro> You have to start accepting it <Annieland> this is a sorry sight, i must say <Annieland> can i have ops or something? *** Mode change "+o Annieland " on channel #subgenius by yoyopro

Well, I have this DCC status window here, it says it's waiting to receive,

but the receive button is dead. <yoyopro> Happy now? <Annieland> thank you :) <yoyopro> So, now we are secret... <Annieland> yah <Annieland> i dont feel like a bunch of pinks wandering in

Yoyo, My little DCC box here is waiting for TWO copies of bonhit but it

doesn't seem to recognize the file type. I can't make it "receive". <yoyopro> One of them timed out <Annieland> some clients aren't compatible with homer

I jest figured it out! Receiving bonghit. How... techno.

<yoyopro> Yeehaw <Annieland> giddyap *** DCC failed to connect. Try re-selecting the item and pressing Receive again. <yoyopro> It timed out again stang, let me try once more -yoyopro- DCC SEND bonghit.wav (198.87.202.135) <yoyopro> Now, go get it <yoyopro> YEE HAW!

Well, it's working...

<strings> I've got a question <strings> Have you ever flown a Kite from your bed?

You got some kinda "string" hang-up there, Yoyopro??

<strings> Have you ever walked with ten cats on your head?

That wav is still coming in. Gorsh, this is so exciting.

<yoyopro> Have you ever milked this kind of cow? <yoyopro> Well I can dig it <strings> do it <strings> Cause I know HOW <strings> If you've never done these things you should <yoyopro> Cause it's fun and fun is good <tensticks> ugh

This is a pretty big bong hit you sent.

<SeaRobin> the bigger the better. *** yoyopro has changed the topic on channel #subgenius to Have more fun cause fun is GOOD <tensticks> pot? <tensticks> bong

Hey, Jesus and Nickie are about to try to get on this channel. Have you guys

done anything to prevent that? <Annieland> nope, anyone can come in *** yoyopro has changed the topic on channel #subgenius to Get your fresh de-beaked prarie squid , NOW! Piping hot!

Not pot. Frop. Different herb. You can still use a bong, but you have to

insert the whole thing into your exit wound. <tensticks> he who dippeth of frop...

This is some kinda big WAV you sent...

<yoyopro> No, it just lloks big

Well, it smells like about 14 dead skunks! MY FAVORITE!

<yoyopro> That's from the decaying monk shit

Once we get that htm-smell process down, we're have "scratch" and sniff JAVA

stuff on SubSITE. Of course you don't actually scratch your screen, you just wiggle the mouse. <yoyopro> Excuse me sir, your skin is on fire...

WOW! Thanks for telling me, I hadn't noticed.

<yoyopro> I heard about that olfactory plug-in they're working on

Good old yoyopro. He'll never let a friend go running around with his or her

face burning. <yoyopro> I was talking to BrningSkn <yoyopro> But I guess he already knew

Yeah, the Smug-In (awkward name, isn't it) is still in beta but I have a copy

that works on a Mac if you have 32 megs. <Jesus> Hello losers!

The problem is, the stench driver costs like $150.

<strings> Eat my FUCK, Jesus <Jesus> Whut up chuck! Long time no hear.

And the toner is $45 an ounce. Oh, LORD... JESUS has come again.

<Jesus> I'd love to strings.

It';s bad enough that he's across the room from me... now he even gets into

my BOX! <Jesus> I love your Box, it's so warm... <Jesus> and squishy.

You can keep your halo outa my box DUDE!

<yoyopro> [Jesus VERSION reply]: WSIRC 1.14b-G - CopyRight 1994 <yoyopro> Caesar M Samsi csamsi@clark.net TEXT CHANNEL ... man, Jesus, that software stinks, you';ve gotta get mIRC <Jesus> It's not my halo I want in your box.

Save it for your fan club, lord.

<strings> You can get it fer free Jesus, and it makes a big diff, I can tell you from experience.. <Jesus> yoyo what are you doing to me, haven't I been persicuted enough

Annieland, SeaRobin, meet Jesus -- yes, THAT Jesus -- he works for the Church

now.

He's a combination Sleazy Promoter and biz manager.

<Annieland> well hello honeybaby <Jesus> Greeting and salutatons Annieland, searobin and all.

We needed an energetic young man around here. Also, He has connections.

<Jesus> Hey any single chicks out there. <yoyopro> You are using some terribly outdated crap there man, I'm just trying to help <Jesus> ...just kidding <Annieland> heheh <yoyopro> Yea, well eat MY fuck!

Munch munch... yechhh... p-TUI!!! Yoyopro, why don't you and Jesus take your coarse and vulgar humor back out

to the manger where it came from. <yoyopro> So, download mIRC from the web when you get a chance Jesus, you will thank me <Jesus> Oh yeah I love the manger, it makes feel like an animal...
