<Jacie> Hey Tuna! How are you?
*** Jacie sets mode: +o Dr10
<Dr10> *poof*
<Dr10> I am well and I am here.
<Jacie> I see you've been traveling lately. How was that?
<Dr10> I wanted to make sure I could get on tonight.
<Dr10> Good but a lot of work. I took a group of 42 to West Point, only 8 to OKCity.
<Jacie> Yeah. Last week was a little funky for me. I finally made it in on web chat.
<Jacie> Busy as ever I see. How'd you fare in the debates?
<Dr10> Austnet seems to work well.
<Jacie> Most of the time.
<Dr10> We did well at both tournaments but I always want to do better.
<Jacie> I just managed to figure out how to register a channel tonight.
<Dr10> Excellent.
<Jacie> Yeah, I noticed your win percentage is a little off this year from last.
<Jacie> What topic is your team arguing?
<Dr10> I seem to have lost my script. Can you email one to asnider@zoo.uvm.edu?
<Jacie> Uh huh. Just a sec.
*** IrishTCat has joined #whosim
<IrishTCat> Hello Jen 
<IrishTCat> Hello Alfred
<Jacie> Hi Rob!
<Dr10> 5 treaties: Kyoto Protocols (climate change), Comprehensivee Nuclear test Ban treaty, Intl Criminal Court treaty, human rights protocol banning the death penalty, and the rrecent USA-Russia nuclear arms agreement.
<Jacie> There ya go Tuna.
<Dr10> Hello Rob.
<Jacie> Hmmm, heavy stuff.
<Dr10> Yowza.
<IrishTCat> ::refuses to comment on any of those topics :: 
<Dr10> Fine by me, I havee too many comments about them already.
<Jacie> You know down here the anti-death penalty sentiment is friendless. Did ya hear about those 2 snipers we had?
*** TheBrig has joined #whosim
<Dr10> How could I not hear about them?
<Jacie> Hi Cody!
<IrishTCat> Hi Cody 
<Dr10> Hola, Cody.
<Jacie> Now they say the kid was the shooter. ::shakes head in dismay::
<TheBrig> Hola como sta usted?
*** Jacie sets mode: +o IrishTCat
*** Jacie sets mode: +o TheBrig
<TheBrig> Hi Rob, Jen 
<Dr10> Bien, bien. Y tu?
<IrishTCat> Well the ancestrol homestead isnt going to be foreclosed on at least this year ..  I was really worried about that .. 
<TheBrig> asi asi
<IrishTCat> Seventeen is not a kid 
<Dr10> I hate it when that happens.
<IrishTCat> Hola como esta usted ?  I thought 
<IrishTCat> My spanish is rusty 
<Jacie> Don't talk to me about woes. We just got word today that the company which bought my dad's business is going bankrupt. Hardships are going all around.
<TheBrig> So'd mine, but in this case just another typo
<TheBrig> dooh, So's
<Jacie> I keep thinking there has to be some good news coming real soon. Really good news to make up for all the badness I've heard.
<IrishTCat> Having no home no job no car would be very very depressing .. 
<TheBrig> Well it looks like there may not be a war, that's pretty good
<Jacie> If you can believe Saddam.
<IrishTCat> I thought Buffy was very spooky talking about something else 
<IrishTCat> Smallville was sad .. 
<Dr10> I fear that there will be war.
<TheBrig> also now I understand all the talk at the newsgroup about why they were trying to get Amber Benson back but not as Tara
<Jacie> As a ghost?
<IrishTCat> Dawn had a bad night yes yes .. 
<TheBrig> "No one so fears war as the soldier, for he knows what it entails" MacArthur
<TheBrig> If you haven't seen it I don't want to spoil it
<Jacie> I don't know anymore. All I do know is I have a great family, some wonderful friends, I published a novel, my mom is still with me, and God endures all. The rest we just have to wait and hope.
<Dr10> I am a bit embarrasssed to admit this, but I have never seen an episode of Buffy. I may make many errors and have no idea what character to choose.
<Jacie> I have a suggestion for you Tuna: Giles.
<TheBrig> 8-D
<Jacie> Giles is a British librarian. Kinda stuffy with a repressed '60's wildside to him.
<IrishTCat> David is going to be a bit bummed about latest Buffy episode 
<TheBrig> So am I
<Dr10> I could do Smithers, perhaps.
*** AlxKeegan has joined #whosim
<AlxKeegan> Hi everyone!
<IrishTCat> Hello David 
<TheBrig> The bleepinf fx channel even skipped "Superstar" this time around :-(
<Jacie> He dresses the part, wears glasses (which he has a nervous habit of cleaning) and rolls his eyes alot at the antics of the teens he watches over.
<TheBrig> Hi David
<Jacie> Hi David!
<Jacie> I was just cluing Tuna in to the Buffy crowd. Poor soul has never seen an episode.
<IrishTCat> I've reread all my Albert Campion novels ..  Some of the lanquage in it confuses the heck out of me .. :)  
<AlxKeegan> quite understandable
*** IrishTCat sets mode: +o AlxKeegan
<Jacie> Because it's British slang?
<IrishTCat> As you all know Peter Davison played Albert campion  
<TheBrig> Nother time 'nother country, can't see why there'd be a problem ;-)
<AlxKeegan> yes, you could almost say Tuna's been living in a cultural wasteland:-)
<AlxKeegan> yes indeed, I have all the campions on video
<Jacie> I don't think he'd say that.
<Jacie> You should see what his debate teams are debating.
<AlxKeegan> he might not, but I wasn't talking about him:-)
<IrishTCat> Cockney accent is completely incomprehensible to a southern boy like myself 
<TheBrig> Ah Jen, for any male to mis seeing Buffing kick is a shame :-)
<Jacie> And yet the Brits think Southernese is inscrutible.
<Dr10> I can do Giles. I always roll my eyes at the teeen antics around me.
<Dr10> nick = DWGiles
<Jacie> With those low-cut tops and jiggling bits to accompany the kicks. ;)
<Dr10> What's the command?
<Jacie>  um it's /nick newname
<AlxKeegan> ah, good good
<IrishTCat> ::feels like he is letting his redneck heritage down  Doesnt drink , doesnt chew tobacco , doesnt own a beat up pick up truck , doesnt hunt , or get into bar fights .. )) 
<TheBrig> Oh BTW Toussa
*** Dr10 is now known as DWGiles
<TheBrig> gr
<AlxKeegan> any questions about the script?
<TheBrig> Has put up a wax figure of Buffy
<DWGiles> I'll just have fun as I go along.
<Jacie> Nope. I got it down, I think.
<AlxKeegan> Giles gets along well with Smithers
<Jacie> Casting Call?
<AlxKeegan> <==========Damon
<Jacie> <==== Willow, Anya, Tara, Buffy (the girls basically)
<DWGiles> <==== Giles - 21st century Englishman, former librarian, Buffy's 
<IrishTCat> <<<~~~~Someone in script (aka Irish T cat )) 
<TheBrig> <============+ The Xandman, natch 8-D
<Jacie> <Oh, I'm game to play Darla too unless you want her David.>
<AlxKeegan> the omnison resembles a cross between a harp and an electronic set of bagpipes
<AlxKeegan> gee, irish isn't in the script this week, Rob
<IrishTCat> I said AKA Irish T Cat David :)  
<AlxKeegan> it plays sounds of different kinds, including sub-and ultra
<TheBrig> Irish voluntarily staying on a water world? I don't think so
<Jacie> LOL
<AlxKeegan> I got it, sorry Rob
<AlxKeegan> it can be used to convey emotions in music
<DWGiles> Nor the Doc but I'm willing to give it a whirl.
<Jacie> <OK we need Dawson and any of the other roles I just claimed.>
<AlxKeegan> let's see, that leaves Smithers and the Planetary Govenor
<IrishTCat> <<Random people  Governor and tourists and such  >> 
<DWGiles> xlnt
<AlxKeegan> oh, in appearance, think of Darla as a gently bronzed, non-vampiric Darla
<Jacie> <Cody, feel like taking one of the girls. I never do Buffy justice and since you're a fan of her leg kicks...>
<TheBrig> <lol>
<DWGiles> I hope a fan of the leg and not the kick.
<IrishTCat> <<Ready I am >>

<IrishTCat> # Dawson > Now its time for me to watch my son so get out of my office .. ::motions for the group to leave :: 
<WillowGirls> # Darla> ::turns and leaves the office without a word::
<DWDamon> # Damon> of course, Captain.
<nadwXanderBuffy> # > B > ::Pointedly:: Well we sure will try, el capitain
<WillowGirls> # Tara> I guess that's our cue to follow.
<DWDamon> # :::Damon moves swiftly after Capt. Keegan::
<WillowGirls> # Willow>::following the captain out the door:: Charming isn't she?
<WillowGirls> $ = Keegan's skiff
<nadwXanderBuffy> # > X > ::Looks truly puzzled:: How could somone who looks like that remind me so much of Principal Snider?
<DWDamon> $ Smithers> :::to Damon::: Well, it looks like the apple has fallen aways from the tree, this time.
<WillowGirls> $ ::Darla activates the autonavigation unit and leaves the hoverskiff to drive itself to the distant waters::
<DWDamon> <oops, make that $ a #>
<WillowGirls> $ Darla>::surveys the empty waters with a pair of spyglasses, saying nothing to her passengers::
<nadwXanderBuffy> $ > X > Doesn't any one here have a bigger boat?
<WillowGirls> $ Willow>::meandering about, she stumbles onto an odd bag of strings and pipes stowed on a nearby table::
<DWDamon> $ :::Damon gazes out over the side of the skiff, named "Sloopy", as the water rushes by:::
<WillowGirls> $ ::the instrument plays a melodic High C::
<DWDamon> $ Smithers> I believe the only large vessels are the plankton harvesters.
<WillowGirls> $ Darla>::whirls around:: Do you mind?! :::takes bag from Willow:: That's a delicate instrument.
<DWDamon> <have Xander be eating a snack, Cody>
<nadwXanderBuffy> $ > X > Just a reference to an Earth classic Smithers. Maybe when this is over we can watch it over a large bowl of pop corn
<DWDamon> $ Anya> Plankton? What's plankton?
<DWDamon> <how about Giles tell them about plankton?>
<WillowGirls> $ Willow> I'm sorry. It looks very old, but I'm not familiar with it. It looks almost like a harp or bagpipes.
<nadwXanderBuffy> $ Any one else need a bit of chocalatisciousness for courage ? ::Offers an Tooberone bar around::
<WillowGirls> $ Darla> It's an Omnison and it is old. It belonged to my great grandfather.
<nadwXanderBuffy> $ > X > ::Sadly;; A reaallllly big piece of wood?
<DWDamon> <where is Giles?>
<DWDamon> <yoo hoo>
<WillowGirls> <Did we lose Tuna?>
<nadwXanderBuffy> <Just tried a personal, nothing :-/>
-> [DWGiles] PING
<WillowGirls> <He's pinging. Maybe he got taken away from the screen.>
<DWDamon> $ Giles> Plankton, Anya, are a simple form of sealife, which many other creatures feed on.
<DWDamon> $ :::Damon catches Darla's eye, then reaches into his jacket and brings out a bag of local snackfood:::
<nadwXanderBuffy> $ > X > The whales have a screen like thingie to strain them out from the water
<WillowGirls> $ Darla> ::stroking the omnison reminiscently:: Great Grandda was always collecting the oddest things.
<WillowGirls> $ ::a buzzer goes off on the console drawing Darla's attention::
<nadwXanderBuffy> $ > X> What? A guy can't get the Discovery channel now and then?
<WillowGirls> $ ::Darla returns to the controls as the skiff comesto a sudden halt in the middle of the ocean::
<DWDamon> $ Damon> ::to Xander:: Try these ::tosses a snack treat to Xander::::
<WillowGirls> $ Willow>I think we've arrived.
<nadwXanderBuffy> $ > B > Pleas e say you meant to do that
<WillowGirls> $ Tara> ::searching:: I don't see anything.
<DWDamon> <have Xander eat it, then Darla can say how many foods on Cachelot are made from processed plankton>
<WillowGirls> $ Darla>::calls out behind her without looking:: Hold on people.
<WillowGirls> $ ::Darla presses a button::
<WillowGirls> $ ::with a SWOOSH a plastic dome covers the skiff like a bubble and it plummets into the sea::
<DWDamon> $ :::Damon grabs ahold of a stanchion:::
<nadwXanderBuffy> $ > X > ::Takes large bar from cooler :: All right any planet that recognises the power of Chocolate is fine by me ::Takes huge bite::
<IrishTCat> <<I wonder if they make chocolate covered fish ? >> 
<nadwXanderBuffy> $ > B > ::Tosses head almost impressed :: How very James Bondian
<WillowGirls> $ ::the sky outside changes from white to crystal blue steadily growing darker and wavier::
<nadwXanderBuffy> <Actually the Japanese do :-/>
<WillowGirls> $ ::something bumps the portside bubble::
<DWDamon> $ Anya> Well, as long as they don't have fur, then I'm not worried about these plankton.
<WillowGirls> $ Tara> Look, it's a dolphin. ::smiles:: I think.
<IrishTCat> $ ::Porpoise eeks at funny looking beings in a human bowl :: 
<DWDamon> $ :::Damon waves to the dolphins which have surrounded the skiff:::
<WillowGirls> $ ::three more dolphins tap the bubble with their noses::
<IrishTCat> $ P 2>  Eeek Eeek .. 
<nadwXanderBuffy> $ > X > Anyone else feel like hiding behind a little plastic castle?
<WillowGirls> $ Darla> ::nods in return and gestures with her hands dramatically::
<IrishTCat> $ ::Porpoises gather up in a V around human bowl :: 
<nadwXanderBuffy> $ > B > We seem to have picked up an escort
<WillowGirls> $ Darla> Sit down everyone. I have to navigate a few currents.
<DWDamon> $ Darla> Many of the local foods are made from plankton.  ::Nods towards the candy bar XAnder is eating:::
<IrishTCat> $ ::one of the porpoises is wearing a pair of neon goggles on top of his head He seems to be the leader :: 
<WillowGirls> $ Darla> ::takes up the joystick steering control and guides the ship in flow with the dolphin school::
<nadwXanderBuffy> $ > X > ::Quickly stops, the shrugs:: Oh well, it was good before you said that
<DWDamon> $ :::Damon sits down and straps himself in:::
<WillowGirls> $ ::the skiff powers fast, skimming up and down, gliding past large multi-color coral reefs and through schools of metallic sea creatures::
<DWDamon> $ Anya> :::looking outside at the reefs and sea creatures::: Oooh, pretty.
<WillowGirls> $ Willow> This is better than sea world.
<DWDamon> $ Smithers> Most impressive.
<WillowGirls> $ Tara> Oooh, look at the pink fishies!
<WillowGirls> $ Tara> ::when group stares at her:: Pink's my favorite color.
<nadwXanderBuffy> $ > B > Don't mean to be pety, but are there any sick bags. Just remembering when Xander found out the chocolate peanuts my mom put out were carob and toffu
<IrishTCat> $ ::a green catfish swims by :: 
<DWDamon> $ Damon> It's a nice color.  I have a pink shirt.
<WillowGirls> $ ::the skiff approaches a long rock wall at high speed::
<WillowGirls> $ ::Darla doesn't blink but revs the engines up faster::
<DWDamon> $ Anya> You're not going to puke, are you, Xander?
<nadwXanderBuffy> $ > X > ::sivers:: You promised to never mention that again
<WillowGirls> $ Darla> Hang on! ::grabs a handlebar with one hand and jerks back the joystick::
<DWDamon> $ Anya> The last time you puked, you got it all over my nice tafeta nightgown.
<WillowGirls> $ ::the skiff turns 90 degrees straight up in the water, gliding along the rock wall::
<nadwXanderBuffy> $ > X > no, no , no... :::turns a little green:: well an ick factor is possible
<WillowGirls> $ ::then when sunlight gleams into the bubble, the skiff suddenly jerks straight down into a sea of black::
<DWDamon> $ :::Anya scooches away from Xander, towards Damon:::
<nadwXanderBuffy> $ > X > OWWW ::rubs head :: Doen't this thing have any turn signals?
<DWDamon> $ Anya> If you're going to puke, aim it towards Buffy.
<WillowGirls> $ ::Willow and Tara clutch each other for safety::
<WillowGirls> $ ::when the skiff seems to meet the very bottom of the deepest canyon Darla suddenly cuts out the engines::
<nadwXanderBuffy> $ > B > ::Looks at rising bump on Xander's headand muses :: Hmmm, that might just distract him from what he's gobbled down this time
<DWDamon> $ :::An awesome sight appears before them:::
<WillowGirls> $ ::the skiff levels off into a jarring stop, surrounded by nothing but darkness::
<DWDamon> <move that down>
<WillowGirls> $ ::then through the darkness something brilliant appears::
<WillowGirls> $ Willow> ::gasps:: On my...
<nadwXanderBuffy>  $ > X > Someone say that she meant to do that...please?
<DWDamon> $ Giles> I say...
<WillowGirls> $ Tara>::nods:: It's so...
<DWDamon> $ Smithers> Indeed.
<nadwXanderBuffy> $ > B > :::Also nods :: yeah... well put
<WillowGirls> $ Anya> In all my thousand years...
<WillowGirls> $ Darla> ::just looks ahead through the bubble saying nothing and staring impassively ahead::
<WillowGirls> <pause all the girls>
<DWDamon> $ Damon> Amazing....
<DWDamon> <pause Damon, Smithers and Giles>
<nadwXanderBuffy> $ > X > What is it? A knock off of some Jules Vernian bubble city? ::Looks :: Oh..... definitely "Wow!"
<nadwXanderBuffy> <pause Buffy and Xander>
<IrishTCat> <<Pause Extras Governors and sea going critters >> 
<DWDamon> <<<PAUSE SIM>>>
<DWDamon> <<<CUT AND PRINT>>>
<IrishTCat> Good Job yall .. 
<DWDamon> Hurray!!
<WillowGirls> Bravo!
<DWDamon> Applesauce!!
*** nadwXanderBuffy is now known as TheBrig
*** DWDamon is now known as AlxKeegan
<TheBrig> Anchor! Anchor! I mean encore ;-)
<WillowGirls> LOL
<TheBrig> Sorry had a little left over X man I guess :-)
<AlxKeegan> that's okay:-)
<AlxKeegan> oh, I got the exact quote for my signature for when I post on the buffy boards
<AlxKeegan> my posting name is Anya's Beau
<TheBrig> ????
<IrishTCat> Poor David .. 
<IrishTCat> Did you catch latest Buffy  ? 
<WillowGirls> I did.
*** WillowGirls is now known as Jacie
<AlxKeegan> and the signature quote is "And the amazing thing...still more romantic than Faith"
<AlxKeegan> yes, a resounding "Boo" to the ending of this week's Buffy.
<Jacie> Did everyone here see Buffy?
<TheBrig> RoTFLMAO
<Jacie> Oh I liked it.
<IrishTCat> I watched the tape Wednesday 
<TheBrig> Mines "I may be Love's bitch, but at least I'm man enough to admit it."
<Jacie> Very spooky and provocative.
<AlxKeegan> the ending was like a black hole..it sucked
<AlxKeegan> well, part of it, anyway
<IrishTCat> Smallville was sad .. 
<Jacie> Yeah, very depressing.
<IrishTCat> You could even say depressing 
<Jacie> But who else liked the psych major vamp?
<AlxKeegan> I didn't find it depressing, but sad, yes
<TheBrig> My only hope is that JW is going to really use the SW ref ""If you strike me down..."  :-/
<IrishTCat> Ah I thought that was pretty cool .. 
<Jacie> Who thinks Andrew was nuts well before this? And gay too.
<AlxKeegan> yes, that would be good, Cody
<AlxKeegan> Andrew was definitely a loon
<TheBrig> You know that %^&$## fx didn't even SHOW "Superstar" this go round :-P
<Jacie> Annoying.
<Jacie> I'll really miss Johnathonn.
<TheBrig> Hasn't admitted it, but Oh Yeah
<AlxKeegan> no, I didn't catch that
<IrishTCat> Maybe he will come back as a Ghost 
<AlxKeegan> I'd better nominate superstar as one of my episodes in the voting
<AlxKeegan> what's the name of the fx website?
<TheBrig> That rates third after "Zeppo" and "Yoko Factor" for me
<TheBrig> just a sec, I'll sheck favs
<AlxKeegan> I like primeval a lot better than Yoko Factor, personally
<Jacie> I prefer Dopplegangland.
<Jacie> And pretty much all the eps Oz is in.
<TheBrig> www.fxnetworks.com/shows/hits/buffy.html
<IrishTCat> Hrmmmm I cant remember Episode names .. Does that make me ineeligible for the Buffy Gang  ?  
<TheBrig> Not a big Oz fan myself, 'cept for Dead Man's party and that Halloween ep
<AlxKeegan> nah, th at's okay, Rob
<TheBrig> np, The show doesn't ever mention the titles
<TheBrig> You have to look them up on the internet
<AlxKeegan> except for this week
<Jacie> The last one did.
<TheBrig> David, you get that URL?
<AlxKeegan> they actually ran the title, first time ever
<AlxKeegan> yes Cody, thanks!
<TheBrig> First time, was weird
<IrishTCat> Conversations with the dead
<TheBrig> All tv eps have titles, most are never shown, just there for ref when doing emmys
<IrishTCat> Reminded me of Talking with David from Starman 
<TheBrig> Unless they "forget" :-P
<TheBrig> You do know that OMWF was nominated and the academy "forgot" to put it on the ballot letters , the &^%^** !
<AlxKeegan> which one is that?
<IrishTCat> Oh  annoying thing on Tv last night showing my geekiness .. 
<TheBrig> Once More With Feeling was nominated for best episode
<TheBrig> They sent out where people could change their vote, but who's going to really go thru the hassle of a form and another ballot
<IrishTCat> One of the news shows was doing interviews with Huntress and Detective Reese .. The reporter kept calling the show based on Marvel Comics 
<AlxKeegan> lol
<TheBrig> lol
<IrishTCat> She said it four times and I am like saying you stupid woman its DC Comics 
<TheBrig> Oraacle fan here, we crips finally have a pin up girl, yay!
<Jacie> Sory guys. I was watching the end of My Best Friend's Wedding. It was on ABC.
<AlxKeegan> that's a great movie
<AlxKeegan> Cody, where do I go to vote for the skewerthon?
<IrishTCat> Harry Potter movie is coming out .. Is anyone going to see it ? 
<TheBrig> just go to the fx site and you get a pop up to vote
<AlxKeegan> eventually, yes Rob
<TheBrig> Not a big Julia Roberts fan
<TheBrig> Think the way she does her brother is shamful
<TheBrig> shameful, even
<AlxKeegan> not necessarily a fan of hers, but there are two movies of hers that I love
<Jacie> I just like the movie. The ending has the coolest most romantic scene. If only the guy wasn't guy.
<Jacie> I mean gay.
<TheBrig> Conspiracy Theory? Even I like that
<Jacie> Every girl who was passed over dreams of being swept onto the dance floor by the most romantic debonaire guy.
