Session Start: Thu Oct 10 20:54:42 2002 * Logging #whosim to 'c:\windows\desktop\timehunt5.txt' *** TheBrig has joined #whosim Hi Jen *** Dr10 has joined #whosim Hi Cody. When did you get here? Tuna? Hi Tuna! hi *** Jacie sets mode: +o Dr10 *** Jacie sets mode: +o TheBrig *poof* Been here a couple, was thinking I was ghosting ty *** AlxKeegan has joined #whosim :::Brushes himself off:: Hmm, nice landing. Hi everyone Hi David! *** Jacie sets mode: +o AlxKeegan Hello, David. Hi David Wow, did you guys all come in the same car or something? ;) I'll brb, have to bring in Kojack....lol Tuna, how was Poland? Yes, how was it. I'm Polish and even I haven't been there. Very interesting. Disregard all racist stereotypes about people in Poland. They were fantastic. Beautiful, old, full of art, sidewalk cafes, etc. Countryside very nice. Auschwitz and Birkenau, on the other hand, were very depressing but since I was so close I knew I had to go. Had too much military history to ever buy Polish bull Very sad. Ironic too considering the locales I planned for tonight. I hope this arc doesn't cross too many lines for folks. It seems to be one of those really nice places thjat other people keep invading and yet they live on into the 21st century. They all seem fairly happy. ? The Empire of Time series is a pseudo-WW II environ. I see. Had got that, thus the Casablanca lines last time The camp they go to is a sci fi version of those camps, though no barbaric mass murder. Just dictatorial mass lobotomies. ;) All part of the same evil we oppose. I'm back!!! WB In the future it may doubtless be so unless we get our act together as a species. I had a time figuring out the processing scene. At first I wanted to mark Fred's arm with a tattoo but I figured that was in poor taste. So I went for the animal tracker type thing. That's why I decided not to scrap the idea entirely. It's a kind of commentary that even the most pacifistic species can turn to tyranny unless they're vigil. what is it they say? All evil needs is for good to do nothing. Yep. "All that's necessary for evil to prosper is for good men to do nothing" :-/ lol yep, think of it like the Swiss suddenly taking over the world:-) That's it. And so true. "Great minds..." Yow! Expensive ccars all around. Well the Swiss do have those special knives ;-) everyone's clocks run on time:-) And they have killer watches. GMTA But think of the bright side... chocolate for everyone~ ! And free medical speaking of that, I have to email Brynna Because of all those broken legs on the slopes. They have commercial developmentt sprrawl pretty well under control there. They build shopping malls in the underground train stations, then you come to the surface and find a quaint Swiss village. Ok that's just plain weird. It's like a massive undercity. cool if a bit Eloi/ Morlock for my tastes One of these days I'll see it. everyone (who watches) caught up with Buffy, Smallville, Angel and Birds of Prey? Oh, that reminds me, I'm leaving the country. ;) but she'll be back:-) *** IrishTCat has joined #whosim Hi Rob! Folks and I are going on a caribbean cruise for Halloween. Our first cruise. IrishTCat is on the scene! Buffy yes, BoP :-( I only set the vcr for one hour (^&&** I'll be gone for 2 weeks October 23 - November 5. Hi Rob *** TheBrig sets mode: +o IrishTCat arrgh, that is bad news I suggested David hold a lighter interim sim in my absence to give you guys a break from the regime. Hi Rob! How are things? yes yes, it will be the return of Damon and the Time Scoobies:-) With a "live" Tara. indeed YEAH Hello everyone.. I saw BoP Had to adjust taping though .. I can no longer remember my schedule and need to consult it each day. People ask me about it and I have to refer them to my public web calendar. Protracted timelessness on my part, I guess. Hoping they will repeat the BoP opener lol that would be nice, though if they do they will probably cut it back by a few minutes, though maybe not I saw Buffy but missed Angel again. I'm taping CSI and Without A Trace. you've only missed one episode so far, of Angel, Jen Angel is getting real dark, but good IMO I'l; remember to look Tuna. As long as you come back to us, I'm happy. Angle comes on Sunday .. After Charmed.. And oh hey, let's here it for the new Austnet servers! Well, in the absence of other expected arrrivals, I suggest we begin. Yeah, I bounced right in here! CASTING CALL, everyone? THis sunday the Charmed girls dress up ash super heroines.. Yes please, CASTING CALL!
