Tue, April 10th, 2007 - Sometime around 11:30 PM EST [20:27] Debbie Cummings: oh the tower [20:27] Debbie Cummings: yeah it's nice too [20:27] Kei Murakami: Nice meeting you, Dakota. Shame I don't get to see you and Debbie mess with people's minds at someplace like sumos or bliss :D [20:27] Dakota Cummings: lol [20:27] Doolan Halderman: Another interesting plant to say the least [20:27] You: Indeed [20:28] Debbie Cummings: ;-) [20:28] Dakota Cummings: haha I have a feeling we'll be there a lot this week so anytime, you're welcome. ;-) [20:28] Doolan Halderman: See you around Kei! [20:28] Doolan Halderman: Nice meeting you as well [20:28] You: Aye, nice meeting you, Kei [20:28] You: Also, hello [20:28] Kei Murakami: Nice meeting you, Doolan [20:28] Dakota Cummings: lol.. later sis. ;-) [20:29] Dakota Cummings: Bye Kei. [20:29] You: This plant has enraptured me [20:29] Debbie Cummings: cya kota [20:29] Debbie Cummings: ::hugs:: [20:29] Doolan Halderman: We obviously have to steal it [20:29] Dakota Cummings: ::hugs:: [20:29] Kei Murakami: That was nearly disturbing [20:29] You: I find its simple beauty enticing and, I must say, oddly alluring [20:29] Debbie Cummings: ? [20:29] Kei Murakami: The two of you :D [20:29] Debbie Cummings: lol [20:30] Doolan Halderman thinks she says that because she hasn't met the two of them yet [20:30] Debbie Cummings: yeah, it was a joke [20:30] Thog Birdbrain finds himself in agreement with Dools [20:30] Doolan Halderman: I think I'm just going to stand admiring this plant for at least 5 minutes [20:30] Debbie Cummings: we were supposed to be blonde twin bimbos [20:30] Kei Murakami: Was kind of VERY surprising to see the two of you identically dressed, for sure! [20:30] Debbie Cummings: lol [20:30] Kei Murakami: And what happened to that? [20:30] You: I believe I'll go explore this other plant over here [20:31] Debbie Cummings: but that never worked out, i such at playing a bimbo [20:31] Debbie Cummings: and she's kinda non social most of the time [20:31] Debbie Cummings: * suck [20:31] Kei Murakami: Yeah, hard to tease what you don't want :D [20:31] Debbie Cummings: yeah [20:31] Debbie Cummings: so we became voyeurs, mostly [20:32] Kei Murakami: Nothing wrong with that :D [20:32] Debbie Cummings: lol [20:32] Debbie Cummings: nope, and sometimes its funny as hell [20:32] Doolan Halderman: What amazes me the most is that, in a building of this size, [20:33] Debbie Cummings: it aso keeps my main out of trouble [20:33] Doolan Halderman: even the smallest of plants have a painstaking attention to detail [20:33] Debbie Cummings: heheh [20:33] You: You are astoundingly correct as always, Doolan [20:33] You: I recognize this species as an exotic import from Brazil [20:33] Doolan Halderman: A very acute observation [20:33] You: I believe its phylum is "Billbordius flattus" [20:34] Debbie Cummings: LOL [20:34] Kei Murakami: OMg... [20:34] You: These Electric Sheep goons must be tremendously wealthy to have potted such luscious flora [20:35] Doolan Halderman: Admiring this solemn product of engineering, one even feels tempted to try his hand at raising his own empire [20:35] Doolan Halderman: Thankfully, [20:35] Doolan Halderman: our logic-centric education, as well as our complete lack of productive skills, make that endeavor impossible to attain [20:35] You: I'm afraid I've been dragged into agreement with you once again [20:35] Doolan Halderman: which will no doubt save us time and money in the long run [20:36] You: Oh, your logic is lucid and exhasperating [20:36] Doolan Halderman eats the plant [20:36] You: My field guide says this particular Billbordius flattus is highly poisonous, unless ingestion is quickly followed by the suckling of attractive breasts [20:37] You: And/or pecan pie [20:37] Doolan Halderman: I see how that can be an inconvenience given our current situation [20:37] You: In the event of your untimely death, I wish you to know that it has been an honor being your acquaintence [20:37] Doolan Halderman: Alas, fret not! There is hope still [20:38] Doolan Halderman: Self-preservation dictates that our next destination involve cybering with strangers [20:38] You: Your observations are acute as usual, though my olfactory system detects one other thing which you did not mention [20:38] You: I believeÉ I believe I smell bananas [20:38] Doolan Halderman stares at Thog Birdbrain [20:39] You: My god [20:39] Thog Birdbrain blinks [20:39] Doolan Halderman: You were indeed correct once more, old bean [20:39] You: High seas on the line [20:39] You: This is quite astounding [20:41] Doolan Halderman: I believe this kind of ritual was practiced in precolumbian America as a substitute for attractive breasts in the event of flattus ingestion [20:41] You: I like pie [20:41] Doolan Halderman: I feel more inclined to pie approximation [20:42] You: If one takes into account virtual magnetic declination, pies can be approximated with greater accuracy, some say, than without [20:42] You: I say it is an intriguing theory [20:42] Doolan Halderman: That, or a CLEVER RUSE [20:43] You: Your claims are preposterous! [20:43] Kei Murakami presses 9-1-1 on the huge bananaphone [20:43] Doolan Halderman: Which huge bananaphone, Kei, if I may ask? [20:43] You: I must say I'm not familiar with [20:43] You: the proper protocol for contacting local authorities in these parts [20:43] Kei Murakami: Yours, Doolan...you were closest at the time [20:44] You: dance [20:44] Doolan Halderman: Hmmm [20:44] You: My life, it is brokened [20:44] Doolan Halderman: It seems I had a pizza delivery place on speed dial [20:44] Doolan Halderman looks for the number of the local authorities [20:44] You: I'll take one large steak and cheese sub, s'il vous pla”t [20:45] Doolan Halderman: For fire emergency, press one [20:45] Doolan Halderman: For huge banana phones dancing in a skyscraper, press 2 [20:45] You: For all other emergencies, please go bananas [20:45] VGS Stungun: A sudden shock collapses the body of Thog Birdbrain [20:46] Doolan Halderman: Ah, a stungun! [20:46] Kei Murakami zaps the bananaphone in back [20:46] Debbie Cummings: LOL [20:46] Doolan Halderman: That is indeed an interesting gadget [20:46] Doolan Halderman: I was recently in a place... what was it called [20:46] You: Arrrrghh, my sooouuulll [20:46] Doolan Halderman: Ah yes, CARP [20:46] Kei Murakami: you all okay, there?. [20:46] You: I'm afraid your stun gun has stolen my soul [20:47] Kei Murakami: Shall I attempt to transfer it back? [20:47] Doolan Halderman: True, that and picture cameras are our weak points [20:47] You: Surprisingly enough, I wasn't very partial to my soul [20:47] You: It just hurt when it came out [20:48] You: I have but one request - please, please don't steal my heart [20:48] Doolan Halderman: Souls are almost as overrated as brains, I'd say [20:48] You: Brains just may be the biggest waste of atomic mass ever thought up [20:49] Doolan Halderman: Quite unlike the Desert Eagle I see holstered not too far to my left [20:49] Kei Murakami: Shall I drain them for you?> [20:49] Doolan Halderman: I liked the stun gun better though. It was... [20:49] You: This situation is less than ideal [20:49] Doolan Halderman: how should I put it [20:49] Doolan Halderman: Subtle [20:49] Doolan Halderman: Which is probably not the first adjective that springs to mind when facing a .357 pistol [20:50] Kei Murakami: I must say, you looked better before, Doolan [20:50] You: Oh Dools, you suave connoisseur [20:50] Doolan Halderman: I suppose it depends on the optic, [20:50] Doolan Halderman: but nothing easier than reverting to my former self [20:50] Kei Murakami lights up [20:51] Doolan Halderman: And a welcome change indeed as long as it keeps me away from the troublesome end of that pistol [20:51] You: Aye [20:52] Doolan Halderman: There's one question I haven't been able to get off my head though [20:52] Doolan Halderman: What exactly is the purpose of this building? [20:53] You: I believe it is meant as a showcase for The Electric Sheep Co. [20:53] Kei Murakami: I think it's kind of an events center/meeting place....not really sure, myself [20:53] You: Much like their other developments are [20:53] Doolan Halderman: And Electric Ship Co. would be...? [20:54] You: A company specializing in directing the development of virtual-real life crossovers and enterprises [20:54] You: Also charming 2D plants [20:54] Kei Murakami: Poisonous...charming 2d plants [20:55] Doolan Halderman: Indeed, my current indisposition makes that last aspect evident [20:55] You: Poisonous is charming to some [20:55] Doolan Halderman: And, I assume, you use it as a meeting place, as it offers a hard to reach shelter, safe from the intrusion of banana phones [20:55] Doolan Halderman: or overly verbose explorer couples? [20:56] You: One would certainly hope that is the ironic case [20:56] Kei gives Debbie a big hug. [20:57] Doolan Halderman: My dear Thog, [20:57] Doolan Halderman: what are the chances of us obtaining some real estate? [20:57] Doolan Halderman: I assume slim? [20:57] You: Slim to none, I'm afraid [20:57] Kei Murakami: See you guys...hope you find your medicine, soon! [20:57] You: For to possess real estate, one must pay cash monies for a premium account [20:58] You: As do we, Kei [20:58] You: Thank you for providing a succulent audience [20:58] Kei Murakami grins, "It's been most interesting" [20:58] Debbie Cummings: heheh [20:58] Doolan Halderman: Indeed, thank you kindly for bearing with our prose, [20:58] You: If you hear singing bananaphones anywhere, please do feel free to page them, as it will almost certainly be us [20:58] Doolan Halderman: with only as much hostility as stunning my colleague here [20:59] Kei Murakami: Sorry about that...was a little experiment of my own :D [20:59] Doolan Halderman: something I might have to refer to as a more than fair reaction [20:59] Debbie Cummings: lol, crazy, take acre guys [20:59] Doolan Halderman tips his hat [20:59] Kei Murakami waves [20:59] You: 50-caliber weaponry, as observed by the acute Dr. Kevin Lindeman in his studies, is not overly phalic [20:59] Thog Birdbrain bows before the ladies [21:00] Doolan Halderman: Our work here is done [21:00] You: phallic, even [21:00] You: that was awesome beyond belief [21:00] Doolan Halderman: AND something to be repeated [21:00] You: I hope there's a way to save chat logs [21:00] Doolan Halderman: Well, [21:00] Doolan Halderman: there be copy / paste [21:00] Doolan Halderman: and chat history [21:00] You: And notecards [21:00] Doolan Halderman: And notecards, I suppose [21:00] Doolan Halderman: whatever they be [21:00] You: something like an on-demand text editor
