[00:34:51] <mrpg> What are we gonna do for april first?
[00:35:59] <mrpg> The next poll could be "what are you gonna read this year"? hehehe
[00:41:38] <charon_> no idea about april 1. i hope not a bunch of fake news like everyone else
[00:42:24] <mrpg> sure, something classy. maybe news of only one subject or topic.
[00:44:08] <charon_> actually, what might be funny is news from the Not The Onion subreddit. stories that sound ridiculous but are actually true

[17:36:42] <Fnord666> ~gday cmn32480
[17:36:42] <charon_> Fnord666: sciencedaily is like us but worse. they publish the entire text of someone's press release with a little link at the end saying Materials from so-and-so
[17:36:44] * exec hurriedly shoves a megabyte of gold nuggets in cmn32480
[17:37:03] <charon_> oooooh, cmn32480 is in troooooouble
[17:37:07] <Fnord666> yup.
[17:37:08] <cmn32480> not yet
[17:37:15] <cmn32480> I got 2 weeks+ until it happens
[17:37:16] <Fnord666> Plan quickly my friend
[17:37:24] <cmn32480> but I gotta plan quickly
[17:37:26] <charon_> i got you this... snowball!
[17:37:49] <Fnord666> My wife has a significant birthday coming up too. Need to something extravagant
[17:38:04] <Fnord666> Just remember the longer you wait, the more it will cost you.
[17:39:11] <cmn32480> yeah
[17:39:16] <cmn32480> mine wanted to go to Scotland...
[17:39:19] <Fnord666> flights cost more, reservations become less available, ...
[17:39:34] <cmn32480> I think she was a little hurt when I giggle and showed her our bank balance
[17:39:49] <Fnord666> aw, I was going to say that sounded like a good idea
[17:40:12] <charon_> buy some haggis and hire a bagpiper
[17:40:24] <Fnord666> My wife would like to do the same
[17:40:32] <Fnord666> the trip, not the haggis
[17:40:36] <charon_> damn
[17:40:48] <cmn32480> but I could do some scotch eggs....
[17:41:29] <charon_> scoth eggs, scotch whiskey, scotch tape
[17:43:36] <Fnord666> All useful items but hardly interchangeable
[17:44:00] <charon_> brilliant idea #885: mrs. fnord and mrs. cmn go on a trip to scotland together. the boys stay home and eat pizza crust all week
[17:44:30] <cmn32480> and the kids go where?
[17:44:33] <charon_> sounds like a sitcom plot actually
[17:56:25] <cmn32480> a very bad sitcom... or the start to lesbian pron...

[19:24:58] <charon_> anyone know why he's in hospital?
[19:48:04] <cmn32480> why the f**k is Bytram in the hospital???
[19:49:31] <charon_> i guess that means you don't know
[19:49:39] <cmn32480> obviously
[19:49:48] <cmn32480> do you?
[19:49:57] <charon_> he popped in yesterday for a few lines also
[19:50:18] <charon_> nope. i wonder if it's related to that finger he mentioned
[19:50:38] <charon_> split skin and he was changing bandages all the time
[19:50:45] <cmn32480> could be
[19:50:50] <cmn32480> it was infected...
[19:51:10] <charon_> yesterday he said somthing about a couple types of antibiotics he was on then left again
[19:51:12] * cmn32480 wonders if we are gonna have to call him lefty from now on
[19:53:04] <charon_> hope not. now i feel terrible that i made a joke about amputation a few days ago
[19:53:49] <cmn32480> unknown.
[19:53:53] <cmn32480> just dropped him and email
[19:54:12] <cmn32480> could be that he picked up some nasty staph infection.
[19:54:16] <cmn32480> or pneumonia
[19:54:26] <cmn32480> or any number of other things
[19:55:02] <charon_> we'll find out sooner or later, i imagine
[19:55:23] <cmn32480> I'd rather find out sooner and not have to imagine
[19:56:58] <charon_> i may be the closest person to him geographically. i could drop by local hospitals
[19:57:10] <cmn32480> possible
[19:57:17] <charon_> shout "hey bytram!" until someone answers
[19:57:23] <cmn32480> there you go
[19:57:40] * cmn32480 believes he is a fair bit north of you
[19:57:53] <charon_> yeah, it would be a several hour trip to get there
[19:59:04] <charon_> but if he is lucid enough to pop on here to give a status report, i am not that worried
[20:08:05] <Fnord666> well crap missed JanR again
[20:09:33] <Fnord666> So no one knows what's going on with Bytram?
[20:12:44] <cmn32480> nope
[20:12:57] <cmn32480> sent an email a bit agao... we'll see wwhat he says if he gets back to me
[20:13:23] * cmn32480 goes to de-christmas-ify the house with a flame thrower
[20:18:51] <Fnord666> I don't like when people are in the hospital. Nothing but sick people there.
[20:21:22] <Fnord666> how are you doing cmn32480?
[20:32:53] <charon_> i haven't been a patient in a hospital in a very long time. since i was a kid maybe
[20:33:26] * charon_ knocks wood like a jackhammer
[20:48:21] <charon_> Fnord666: i am going to pluralize antennas as antennae and you can't stop me
[20:51:41] <Fnord666> ok
[20:52:12] <charon_> lol
[20:52:34] <charon_> i expected more argument
[20:54:31] <Fnord666> Why? Have I argued about a change before?
[20:55:26] <charon_> no, i don't think so. but i thought you'd tell me antennas is correct when teling about metal signal receivers
[20:55:41] <charon_> which apparently it is in America and Canada
[20:55:55] <Fnord666> If you are changing it then I must have used the wrong form
[20:56:22] <charon_> i am actually just joking. i'm keeping antennas anyway
[20:56:27] <Fnord666> ok
[20:56:37] <Fnord666> I thought antennae were for insects
[20:56:43] <charon_> damnit, you're too agreeable.
[20:57:10] <charon_> in Britain, they use antennae for both, almost everywhere else it's split
[20:58:54] <Fnord666> M: Yes, but I came here for an argument!!
[20:59:01] <Fnord666> A: OH! Oh! I'm sorry! This is abuse!
[20:59:09] <Fnord666> M: Oh! Oh I see!
[20:59:17] <Fnord666> A: Aha! No, you want room 12A, next door.
[20:59:26] <Fnord666> M: Oh...Sorry..
[20:59:31] <Fnord666> A: Not at all!
