Description: Febuary 23, 2005.


Blind Spot - February 24, 2005 06:37 AM (GMT)
Part I

You have just entered room "BTTFersUnite."
WeathrExperiment has entered the room.
vampdocette: hehe, Hallo all
EnigmaSphinx42: Greetings and hallucinations
PoolScoop: Hey everyone. :-)
WeathrExperiment: Hey all
PoolScoop: "Hi Dr. Nick" LOL
Anonymoose84: Yay BTTF fans!
vampdocette: :-D
PoolScoop: Heya Paul -- long time no talk. How are ya?
WeathrExperiment: Not bad.
Anonymoose84: How are you Vic? How was you late class?
WeathrExperiment: Just been chatting with AM84
PoolScoop: I haven't been in a chatroom this busy since first half in the millenium
PoolScoop: ^ Me too.
vampdocette: Eh, kinda boring tonight
Anonymoose84: I get around! :P
vampdocette: A bunch of kids skipped
PoolScoop: Was this your writing class?
vampdocette: Nope, US Lit
vampdocette: I have writing 3 times a week at 11 through 11:50
EnigmaSphinx42: .......doesn't literature usually involve writing? ;-)
Anonymoose84: Wow...I only have my writing class once a week...but it's for three hours...
vampdocette: lol, not mine
PoolScoop: I always liked lit stuff myself, anything writing related, lol.
vampdocette: hehehe, yeah
PoolScoop: ^ heh
EnigmaSphinx42: Not necessarily your own, silly Vic
vampdocette: :-P
Anonymoose84: What sort of US Lit are you doing at the moment? Old? New?
PoolScoop: There's no way I could pass off my 'old Biff in 1885' story as original fiction, LOL!
vampdocette: hehehe
EnigmaSphinx42: Maybe if the teacher wasn't a Backie
vampdocette: US Lit from the 1800s right at the moment
PoolScoop: True.
Anonymoose84: Yeah 'Who is the Biff you speak of?'
EnigmaSphinx42: lol 1800s
vampdocette: Tonight was Thoreau, Stowe, that sort of thing
vampdocette: :-P
Anonymoose84: Never heard of 'em.
EnigmaSphinx42: I actually need to find some historical fiction from 1885 onwards
vampdocette: Ahhh
EnigmaSphinx42: You know, research and all that
WeathrExperiment: Whicj one of you is Marty Fan?
EnigmaSphinx42: Can't very well write Doubleback without it
PoolScoop: I bet I could count the number of guys named 'Biff' on one hand. I'm sure it is a real name, but I've never heard it outside BTTF
vampdocette: Have you heard of "Uncle Tom's Cabin" Moose
EnigmaSphinx42: That would be me
Anonymoose84: Yes I have! I think I've read it too...can't remember...
WeathrExperiment: I think I just added you the other day to my friends list.
EnigmaSphinx42: ....suppose it would be nice if I knew who you were on LJ
vampdocette: Stowe wrote that M
WeathrExperiment: Heh. http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=timewanderer
PoolScoop: I always thought--in part 3, Marty should've said "Hey Doc, those banjo guys look like ZZ Top. That's heavy"
Anonymoose84: Aha...I never noticed the author before!
EnigmaSphinx42: lol
EnigmaSphinx42: Ah, I recognize you right off from the very name, okay
vampdocette: hehe
Anonymoose84: That always reminds me of "The Simpsons" ep where Bart yells at those Rabis!
PoolScoop: I'm sure Marty could've been a ZZ fan, but I guess it would've been one too many cutural reference jokes
PoolScoop: ^ LOL I taped that episode a few years ago. Never get tired of it
vampdocette: :-P
PoolScoop: that was when The Simpsons was still regularly good. :-)
vampdocette: aha
EnigmaSphinx42: Am I the only one here who's never seen an episode?
Anonymoose84: "ZZ Top you guys rock!"That's the New York ep, do they still show it because of the WTC?
PoolScoop: Good question. I don't know
vampdocette: hehe
Anonymoose84: Those two guys in the towers are funny.\"My tower's better than yours!""Come over here and say that!"Or something of that nature.
PoolScoop: I know it aired in '98 originally, so maybe it wasn't even in syndication 3 years later.
vampdocette: lol
PoolScoop: I liked when he had to go to the bathroom - runs in and sees 'Out of order. Please use other tower.'
vampdocette: :-P
Anonymoose84: LMAO! Oh poor Homer!
Anonymoose84: "How frightfully rude! I hope someone stabs him in the eye!"
vampdocette: heh
PoolScoop: The nitpicker in me still sees a lack of continuity in the series, LOL. I wonder how Homer's car got fixed after the boot damage.
vampdocette: lol
Anonymoose84: He took it to Frank Grimes's son ;-)
PoolScoop: Could be, heh.
PoolScoop: Another thing is- since they're cartoon characters and stay the same age, their birthdays technically go up every year.
vampdocette: lol
PoolScoop: Makes it hard to write fanfic on it, LOL.
vampdocette: hehe, yeah
Anonymoose84: What's weird is that Apu and Manjula married had 8 kids and these kids were 2 years old yet Bart remains 10 years old!
vampdocette: *nod*
PoolScoop: I did (not surprisnly) like the one where Lisa goes to the fortune teller and sees herself married to Hugh.
Anonymoose84: The Octopulets! :-)
PoolScoop: ^ yeah
PoolScoop: That was mid 90's, so that "future" couldn't be later than 2010-12. We're almost there now, hehe
vampdocette: :-P
PoolScoop: Homer was down to one hair, hehe
Anonymoose84: How does that work I ask you? :-)Also Homer will mention that things happened a 'few' years ago, yet everyone is still the same age...
Anonymoose84: LOL That was brilliant!
PoolScoop: I guess they don't count on people like us nitpicking it!
Anonymoose84: LOL yeah...
PoolScoop: Ah well, doesn't take away from the enjoyment
EnigmaSphinx42: Nitpicking is fun though
vampdocette: hehe
Anonymoose84: It is! Fun :-)
vampdocette: yeah
PoolScoop: For sure. I've done it long as I can recall
PoolScoop: Even before I got into movies (around 8 or so) I'd do it when we were riding in the car, counting the towns or the time it took to get somewhere. It's embedded in me, hehe
vampdocette: LoL
Anonymoose84: Oooh long car trips...the worry!
EnigmaSphinx42: 10:04!
Anonymoose84: 10:04 CALLL! :-)
EnigmaSphinx42: Hah!
vampdocette: The boredom, actually
vampdocette: Yay, 10:04
EnigmaSphinx42: See how bored we are, for instance?
PoolScoop: Oh yeah, I'm in California time, so it's only 7:04
vampdocette: lol
vampdocette: aww
EnigmaSphinx42: We do this every night that we catch it ;-)
Anonymoose84: *The Georges and Lorraines celebrate!*
vampdocette: hehehehe
PoolScoop: feels like 10 with this weather, though.
EnigmaSphinx42: ...which isn't often, admittedly
vampdocette: heheh, true
Anonymoose84: Yeah the weather is just awful in California! Lots of houses have fallen down and stuff.
vampdocette: blah
PoolScoop: I heard it on the news. We're pretty much on sea level here, but there's mountains/hills close by and all
EnigmaSphinx42: And I'm up in the frozen north
vampdocette: Ahhh, okay
Anonymoose84: It's La Nina coming to get you!
vampdocette: We're expecting snow tomorrown night -- I might not have school
PoolScoop: We had El Nino in 97/98. I still don't miss it, LOL
vampdocette: hehe
EnigmaSphinx42: Heheheh, even if WE had snow tomorrow night I wouldn't have school anyway
vampdocette: :-P
Anonymoose84: We've had El Nino for 10 years! What a bitch!
EnigmaSphinx42: I love my permenant three-day weekends :-P
vampdocette: Lucky
EnigmaSphinx42: ^permanent
Anonymoose84: Yay Permant 3 day weekends rock!
vampdocette: hehehe
vampdocette: Then again, I have four days off every week
PoolScoop: Yep. I like Fridays though. First day off, heh
vampdocette: Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday
Anonymoose84: It'll suck when I have to actually GET a job...
EnigmaSphinx42: dkjkdgiuansllkalk *falls off chair*
vampdocette: awww
vampdocette: O.o
PoolScoop: Seriously though, my perception of the weekend has been skewed for a few years 'cause I always work on the weekends and have the plays, night classes, etc
vampdocette: lol, I see
PoolScoop: ^ lol
Anonymoose84: WTF students live in the Ramsey Murder House! O.O I wouldn't go NEAR the place!
vampdocette: O.O
WeathrExperiment: I'm going to go to bed soon. Just typing up an LJ entry beforehand. CYA
Anonymoose84: Bye Paul! :-)
PoolScoop: Me neither - I couldn't stand to live in a place someone died.
vampdocette: Ahh, okay
vampdocette: bye
EnigmaSphinx42: Sleep well
PoolScoop: ^ TTYL Paul
WeathrExperiment has left the room.
PoolScoop: Good night.;-)
Anonymoose84: Off he goes!
vampdocette: yup
EnigmaSphinx42: Into the wild blue yonder~
EnigmaSphinx42: ....no more old old movies for me *headdesk*
vampdocette: O.o?
vampdocette: Why not?
EnigmaSphinx42: Because automatic quoting reaction of course ;-)
Anonymoose84: But yes what happened to the good ol' days when they tore murder house down.There was a big bruhaha here in Aus becuse they tried to sell a Murder House to some people.
vampdocette: lol, I see
vampdocette: O.o I see
Anonymoose84: The House looks eeeevil!
vampdocette: *shudder*
PoolScoop: That does bring up a point - my complex was built in 1969/70, so my house, heck my room has 30+ years of history. Just being like I am, I always wonder "what was happening in this spot, say 20 years ago?" lol
Anonymoose84: What do you think Ael?
EnigmaSphinx42: About what?
vampdocette: hehe, interesting Scoopy
Anonymoose84: About living in a Murder House.
EnigmaSphinx42: Well I certainly wouldn't do it
PoolScoop: I wish you could get historical reports on that like you can with a used car, lol.
vampdocette: lol
Anonymoose84: Yeah...
PoolScoop: "In 1979, 3 kids shared a bunk bed in Spot's future room" LOL
vampdocette: *snork*
Anonymoose84: LOL I wonder who had to share!
PoolScoop: Funny enough, I was just telling Moosey that since it was being built in 69 (what people have said at least), if I went 30 years into the past in 99, I'd have seen it like Marty saw Lyon Estates, hehe
vampdocette: lol, interesting
EnigmaSphinx42: Heh
EnigmaSphinx42: Big field o' grassiness? ;-)
vampdocette: :-P
Anonymoose84: Spooooky!
PoolScoop: I haven't lived in it my whole life, but still a cool thing to think about, heh
PoolScoop: Yeah, I think it was an orchard actually
EnigmaSphinx42: I haven't lived in my house my whole life either
EnigmaSphinx42: Moved here when I was five
Anonymoose84: I haven't either I've lived in four or five different houses.
vampdocette: I've moved a lot too
PoolScoop: I've lived all over northern California -- the Bay Area and Sacramento, this is my 10th I think....
vampdocette: Once to Missouri
Anonymoose84: Hey where is Kansas City?
vampdocette: There's two, actually
PoolScoop: It's funny cause when I was a kid I thought people we knew were "weird for staying inthe same house 10 years" etc. But we were weird for moving all the time, hehe
EnigmaSphinx42: ..........I hope you're joking
EnigmaSphinx42: Actually there aren't two
vampdocette: No?
EnigmaSphinx42: It's on the border
vampdocette: Ahhh, okay
Anonymoose84: 'Cause yesterday they said it was in Kansas City MO...what MO stand for>
EnigmaSphinx42: So each side has different laws but it's the same city
vampdocette: Okay, cool
vampdocette: Didn'
Anonymoose84: A crime show I was watching that is...
vampdocette: Didn't know that
EnigmaSphinx42: MO....damn I don't know
EnigmaSphinx42: First instinct says Missouri
EnigmaSphinx42: Second instinct says "Don't be a dumbass"
vampdocette: yeah, I think so too
vampdocette: lol
Anonymoose84: It probably is State names can be weirdass in the US...
vampdocette: hehe
EnigmaSphinx42: I live in Meeechigan
vampdocette: Rhode Islander her
vampdocette: here
Anonymoose84: I live in New South Wales :-)
PoolScoop: We're all over then. I'm a rare west coast backie
vampdocette: hehe, I see
vampdocette: lucky
Anonymoose84: Yeah! All the stuff is there! You can visit the HOUSE!
EnigmaSphinx42: ........why did the furnace just turn on, blow COLD air, and then turn off after thirty seconds?
PoolScoop: It's a good thing I didn't know "Hill Valley" was only about 70 miles from Sacramento when we lived there for 6 years...
vampdocette: O.O
vampdocette: hehe
Anonymoose84: Awww...why I'd be so disappointed!
PoolScoop: I'd have always wanted to go check out 'the roads Marty might've been on' hehe.
EnigmaSphinx42: I want a map showing where Hill Valley is supposedly located
vampdocette: me too
EnigmaSphinx42: That would be so much easier for fic research
Anonymoose84: I had one..it's 12 miles from Grass Valley.
EnigmaSphinx42: I know it's approximately 12 miles east of Grass Valley but I don't know where that is either
vampdocette: *nodnod*
vampdocette: lol
PoolScoop: Yeah. I put it in Nevada City, which is about 5 miles away actually...
vampdocette: Hmmm
Anonymoose84: I have a map with it on it...it's near a place called Nervada City. 70 or 90 miles from Sacramento.
PoolScoop: that actully kinda works with what would be 8 and 395 -- even though they made those numbers up
EnigmaSphinx42: NERVADA?
vampdocette: hehe
vampdocette: :-P
Anonymoose84: However you spell it...Also in California is Virigina City where Martin I got that knife in his gut...
Anonymoose84: Virginia sorry/
PoolScoop: Close enough, heh.
EnigmaSphinx42: ...and here I thought Virginia City was in Virginia
vampdocette: Ouchies
PoolScoop: LOL theoretically that makes sesne
Anonymoose84: I thought it was in Viriginia and was like what the Hell were they doing there?
vampdocette: I know, why name cities after different states?!
PoolScoop: It's like "driving on a parkway, parking in a driveway" LOL.
vampdocette: lol, yes
EnigmaSphinx42: And your house can burn up while it's burning down
EnigmaSphinx42: And you fill in a form by filling it out
Anonymoose84: California City is in California though...but oddly enough none of these places are actually cities!
PoolScoop: yeah, they're small towns. Maybe when they were built, they thought they would be cities someday
vampdocette: hehehe, yeah
Anonymoose84: Indeed!
vampdocette: That's odd
vampdocette: Well, they say think big
PoolScoop: ^ Oh, there's a West Virginia but no East, lol
vampdocette: :-P
Anonymoose84: Yeah what's with that?
PoolScoop: I always thought it was funny how the Bay Area is considered northern California when it's right inthe middle...
PoolScoop: and "Central Cal" is central/south, LOL
Anonymoose84: It's all very strange!
EnigmaSphinx42: I find it funny how Michigan and its neighboring states are the midwest when we're mideast
Anonymoose84: Depends where they draw the line of Middle America I guess...
PoolScoop: Hehe, when I was younger I thought 'midwest' was like Oregon. Middle of the west, LOL
EnigmaSphinx42: lol
EnigmaSphinx42: Yes, Michigan is in Oregon now!
Anonymoose84: I thought the Midwest was the Old West at first...where the cowboys roam!
vampdocette: LOL, :-D
EnigmaSphinx42: lol
PoolScoop: I guess a more fitting name would be 'Western middle' but that's not very catchy, hehe
EnigmaSphinx42: Yeehaw
vampdocette: Geography is so confusing here
Anonymoose84: LOL that sounds awkard as Hell...
EnigmaSphinx42: I've been to Hell twice~
vampdocette: hehehe
EnigmaSphinx42: Smalllll town
vampdocette: lol
EnigmaSphinx42: I wanna live there
PoolScoop: Someone could say "go to Hell" and not as an insult!
Anonymoose84: I can't believe there's actually a town called that! What where they thinking?
vampdocette: *snrrrk*
EnigmaSphinx42: "So where do you live?" "Hell." "No really, where do you live?"
vampdocette: There's also a town called Paradise, right?
EnigmaSphinx42: Yep
PoolScoop: I think so, I've heard of it
Anonymoose84: Bart would be happy "I live in Hell, so I have to say HELL to go there..."
vampdocette: So it all balances out :-P
PoolScoop: Hehe
PoolScoop: I still find things like that funny, lol
Anonymoose84: I wanna go to Moose Factory in Canada!
EnigmaSphinx42: "You're going to HELL!" "Well duh, I live there." "......uh?"
Anonymoose84: I can get the Mooses to join me in an uprising! Come my pretties!
vampdocette: hehehehehe
EnigmaSphinx42: Oooh, I've seen moose, they're not necessarily nice beasties
Anonymoose84: They also use their urine for less then conventional purposes...
vampdocette: O.O
EnigmaSphinx42: Stupid tourists ignore the "stay 25 yards away from wildlife and 100 yards if it's a bear" rule and go RIGHT UP TO THE DAMN MOOSE to take pictures
Anonymoose84: Awww poor Moose!
PoolScoop: Hey, it's funny, I'm just listening to "Never Surrender" from Corey Hart now and I remembered, he was once considered the role of Marty. No joke, lol
PoolScoop: ^ yeah
EnigmaSphinx42: And then there were probably fifty stupid tourists who stood on the side of the road and watched a mother black bear put her cubs up a tree and then come charging at them from like forty yards away and just stood there like morons
EnigmaSphinx42: I actually saw this as we were leaving Yellowstone
EnigmaSphinx42: >.<
Anonymoose84: Weirdos out there...
EnigmaSphinx42: Wanna know something worse?
Anonymoose84: Yeah?
vampdocette: Yipes, I dunno
PoolScoop: sorry I'm in two IMs, lol. I missed that. Was this tourists doing that on purpose?
EnigmaSphinx42: About a month before we went there, some moron tourist went off the boardwalks (very no-no in Yellowstone because of unstable ground and possible hot springs that can boil you alive that you can fall into) to get a buffalo to raise
EnigmaSphinx42: ^its head so he could take a pic
vampdocette: O.o Christ on a Cracker
EnigmaSphinx42: And it did. Right into his GROIN
vampdocette: LOL
PoolScoop: Yeah. It's not that important is it? lol
Anonymoose84: LOL what the hell is that phrase you used Vic!
PoolScoop: ^ heheh
vampdocette: I heard it on LJ
vampdocette: well, read it on LJ
Anonymoose84: Jesus from Heaven: "Oh they're putting me on crackers now?"
EnigmaSphinx42: lol
vampdocette: hehehehehehe
EnigmaSphinx42: Better than a pogo stick
PoolScoop: Haha
vampdocette: lol, yeah
Anonymoose84: Oh no! He's on Pogo sticks too?
PoolScoop: Wait, why a pogo stick in particular? hehe
vampdocette: Hmm, dunno
PoolScoop: Sounded funny in context though.
Anonymoose84: Yay! Spotty's posted the last bit of his comic!
vampdocette: hehe, yeah
vampdocette: Spotty? I think you mean Shandy?
EnigmaSphinx42: Yeah, was gonna say that too
PoolScoop: Hehe, similar guy ;-)
vampdocette: lol :-D
Anonymoose84: Sorry! Yeah! I love the 'Power of Fire' song!
EnigmaSphinx42: Yeah me too
EnigmaSphinx42: XD
vampdocette: hehehehehehe
PoolScoop: Who does that? or is it an instrumental?
vampdocette: *blinkblink*
EnigmaSphinx42: ...............
vampdocette: Dave sings it
Anonymoose84: It's at the end of the comic! Dave sings it!
vampdocette: In the comic
PoolScoop: Oh yeah, I wasn't thinking, hehe. I did read the comic though, I always enjoy his work
PoolScoop: Esp if it's in the TP timeline
vampdocette: lol, yeah
Anonymoose84: With Nerdy George :-)
vampdocette: :-P
Anonymoose84: Original George: Ah ha ha ha ha ha!
PoolScoop: Yeah, he's unintentionally funny
EnigmaSphinx42: Here's another prime example of human stupidity, posted by yours truly: http://www.livejournal.com/community/mock_...id/1640446.html
vampdocette: *headdesk*
EnigmaSphinx42: Yeah, I almost literally headdesked in the middle of class
vampdocette: I don't blame ya
PoolScoop: That sounds like the kinda thing people on the street say when Jay Leno asks random questions, LOL
vampdocette: hehehe
Anonymoose84: LOL I love random questions in the street. There was an Aussie show where they did that.
vampdocette: Interesting
PoolScoop: I think actually alot of people misanswer 'cause they're so nervous about being on TV. Still funny though
Anonymoose84: And there was always some old guy who went off into a complete tangent.
vampdocette: hehehe
PoolScoop: What'd he say? or was it all nonsensical
Anonymoose84: They were asking 'Who's the Worst Dressed Celebrity' and this guy went on about how Australia has too many politicians because of the mafias stranglehold or something...
PoolScoop: LOL
vampdocette: lol, I see
Anonymoose84: And he was wearing shorts with long socks and sandles!
EnigmaSphinx42: Hey, my little brother does that
vampdocette: lol
Anonymoose84: LMAO! Oh no! Not that!
PoolScoop: I do it too, hehe. I'm teased (in a friendly way) for pulling them way up, hehe
PoolScoop: not the sandles though, necesarilly!
Anonymoose84: Socks with sandles though?
vampdocette: *shrug*
EnigmaSphinx42: And here I thought it was spelled "sandal"
vampdocette: Let's just call them "flip-flops"
Anonymoose84: Dunno, can't spell today. Damn Bob-The Typo Man!
PoolScoop: Hehe.
Anonymoose84: I hate flip flops! They drag along the ground and it makes my throat hurt...
vampdocette: o.O
EnigmaSphinx42: *....stares at that sentence*
vampdocette: Why would that make your throat hurt?
Anonymoose84: Like some sort of weird reaction...
vampdocette: Hmmm
vampdocette: *updates LJ*
EnigmaSphinx42: At least they don't call flip-flops "thongs" anymore ;-)
Anonymoose84: Something about the scrapping makes me feel like I'm gonna gag...
Anonymoose84: Oh but they're thongs here :-)
vampdocette: LOL
EnigmaSphinx42: Hey, whaddya know, it IS a full moon
Anonymoose84: You Americans and your weird name for underpants@
EnigmaSphinx42: If Weatherbug is to be trusted
vampdocette: :-D
PoolScoop: Hmm, I wonder if it is here too.
vampdocette: I saw it, on the way out, it's full
Anonymoose84: LOL Weatherbug sounds really cute!
vampdocette: :-P
EnigmaSphinx42: "'Marty work' dates", Vic?
PoolScoop: I always think of Ernest Scared Stupid when I hear of a full moon. That or "Thriller" hehe
vampdocette: Just when he starts going into his careers (according to the different universes)
vampdocette: hehe
Anonymoose84: Hey should we be insulted that Paul put bored as his mood when he'd just been talking to us! ;P
EnigmaSphinx42: Ah, okay
vampdocette: yeah
EnigmaSphinx42: lol
PoolScoop: LOL maybe it was a joke. Or he didn't realize. I've done that by accident
vampdocette: hehe
Anonymoose84: :P
Anonymoose84: I've put crappy on my journal though so I'm one to talk :-)
vampdocette: lol
PoolScoop: Hehe, I rarely do that. Hell that's one reason I don't update that often, I guess I don't like to rant, LOL!
PoolScoop: Well, in private entries at least
vampdocette: lol, yeah
Anonymoose84: I'm always ranting! :P
PoolScoop: About just day to day stuff? I sometimes forget whose entries I've read
EnigmaSphinx42: I need more stuff to rant about ;-)
Anonymoose84: Yeah right now I'm ranting about my Uni classes issue and my worries regarding long car trips...
vampdocette: lol, yeah
vampdocette: My muses rant for me
PoolScoop: Me too
PoolScoop: ^ I love long car trips. WHere were you planning to go? jw
EnigmaSphinx42: Mine do too...unless I sedate them with boxes and bubbles and whatnot ;-)
vampdocette: hehehe, yeah
Anonymoose84: To a family wedding it's a 6 hour drive, but I haven't gone on a long cartrip in AGES! I don't like been trapped in the car.
PoolScoop: Yeah I do know that feeling. Being crunched in and feeling like Old Biff times 10 when you get out, LOL
Anonymoose84: Also what a bathroom breaks I ask you!
PoolScoop: Yeah
vampdocette: hehehe, yeah
Anonymoose84: My mother is picky about the bathroom breaks...
vampdocette: Driving to and from Florida was -- honestly -- pretty brutal
PoolScoop: As long as (a) I like who's in the car with me and (B) I've got something to do, I'm usually happy.:-)
Anonymoose84: Indeed, but all that drinking get led to the bathroom breaks! :D
PoolScoop: ^ Yeah. Funny in '86 we bought a Corvette on one of our family trips down there and drove it back to Calif. I was about 4 so I could still fit in the hatchback, hehe
PoolScoop: It was fun but tiring. Took 6 days I think
EnigmaSphinx42: SIX days?
vampdocette: O.o I see, yipes
EnigmaSphinx42: Must not've traveled from dawn until after dusk then
PoolScoop: About. 3000 miles. We made alot of stops too
vampdocette: ahh, I see
EnigmaSphinx42: That'd do it
Anonymoose84: Son of a-! The longest time I've it's taken me in a car is two days...
Anonymoose84: Well not all at once of course.
EnigmaSphinx42: My family went from Michigan to Montana in about two days and a half
vampdocette: hehehe, yeah
vampdocette: ahh
PoolScoop: Oddly I remember more about the car ride itself than the trip, hehe
vampdocette: Florida is about two, two and a half days
EnigmaSphinx42: Barely any stops, drove at dawn and until way after dusk
vampdocette: yipes
EnigmaSphinx42: Of course, that was because it was summer and it was friggin' hot out
PoolScoop: Like going up these big rolling hills in the Texas/Arkansas/Georgia area
Anonymoose84: I always have bad memories due to an unfortunate Hungry Jacks incident...those burgers don't agree with me...
EnigmaSphinx42: I wish our old travel log hadn't been erased, that was great
PoolScoop: and the only radio stations that came in were country, talk radio or spanish speaking, LOL
vampdocette: Ahh, I see
vampdocette: awww, yeah
EnigmaSphinx42: Of course, I had to go and stuff up the whole trip by spraining my ankle too badly to walk without crutches and/or wheelchair for a week *facepalm*
vampdocette: ouchies
Anonymoose84: Oh yeah on our trips my parents listen to the Cricket...kill me now people...
PoolScoop: ^ Yeah. I have a million things like that I would use a time machine for if I could
vampdocette: lol
PoolScoop: the cricket?
Anonymoose84: Yeah our National Sport...SOOOO boring!
PoolScoop: We actually listened to tapes most of the way back. I remember silly things like that, heh
PoolScoop: Whenever I hear "Down Under" from Men at Work I think of that trip. Well and Shandy now, hehe
Anonymoose84: And MEEEE! The Anonymoose_au!
PoolScoop: oh yeah, of course. :-)
vampdocette: hehehe, I see
vampdocette: :-D
Anonymoose84: I'm reading a post of yours Spotty on the BTTF forum...your Avatar seems to have disappeared!
PoolScoop: Is cricket like Golf in a way?
EnigmaSphinx42: Cricket's more like baseball
PoolScoop: ^ I think I just forgot to turn it on, LOL
EnigmaSphinx42: Baseball on crack
vampdocette: hehehe
Anonymoose84: You don't know what Cricket is Spotty! I envey you!
PoolScoop: I don't post there that much anymore. all the family has migrated onto AIM or LJ, plus I don't have as much time as 2 years ago anyway
PoolScoop: LOL
Anonymoose84: Aww cute the Family! I thought you were talking about your family for a minute there...
PoolScoop: I still might do 3-5 posts a week
PoolScoop: hehe, the "online" family
vampdocette: ahhh, yeah
PoolScoop: I mean, it's just that now, I almost worry I've ran out of BTTF things to say.
Anonymoose84: Cool George: Do people REALLY think I think my wife cheated on me, just 'cause our son is called Marty? You don't think she'd be a bit more subtle if that was the case...*on seeing another Will they remember Marty thread.
PoolScoop: I always see that kind of thought
PoolScoop: That and the "why don't they recognize Marty" I kinda tend to bypass now, hehe
vampdocette: O.o yeah
Anonymoose84: But you did that Vic :P
vampdocette: hehe, yeah
EnigmaSphinx42: And I tend to completely ignore the "OMG DeLorean in the mine!!!1" topics
vampdocette: lol, I know
PoolScoop: I've always brought up the point that George DOES remember him if he says "If you put your mind to it".
Anonymoose84: LMAO! I like the 1 at the end of that...
vampdocette: hehehe
EnigmaSphinx42: SEARCH FUNCTION, people
PoolScoop: Calvin told him that, it all makes sense
EnigmaSphinx42: Argh the brain it hurts
PoolScoop: ^ Hehe, I know
vampdocette: yesum yesumj
Anonymoose84: I don't think it works...
PoolScoop: Chris isn't around to do it anymore as much, LOL
vampdocette: hehehehe
Anonymoose84: The Search Button that is...
EnigmaSphinx42: Well I doubt it matters much when there's five of the same topic on the page
vampdocette: yeah
PoolScoop: True
Anonymoose84: Too bad we lost our sticky topics :-)
PoolScoop: That and there's only about 5 regular posters there now, LOL
vampdocette: yeah, true, hehe
PoolScoop: a guy named Mr XL whom I don't know
PoolScoop: At times I've almost thought we should start over with a fresh new board, but it'd be a shame to lose all those posts
vampdocette: awww
Anonymoose84: Indeed! I like looking at old threads...
vampdocette: yeah
PoolScoop: Yeah. Me & Shandy bump them sometimes too, especially after new people joined, etc.
vampdocette: :-)
PoolScoop: Well he bumped them as a joke, hehe. I don't always do that
Anonymoose84: LOL Ael I like how you respond to a post with a question regarding word meanings :-)
vampdocette: :-P
PoolScoop: Hehe, what's an example? I'm hardly on anymore
EnigmaSphinx42: Which one doest thou refer to?
Anonymoose84: 'Something that's inflicted me for years'
EnigmaSphinx42: lol Yeah
vampdocette: LoL, that's what I thought you were talking about
EnigmaSphinx42: That word makes NO SENSE in the context of the post!
vampdocette: hehe, yeah
EnigmaSphinx42: How the hell does it INFLICT a person?
Anonymoose84: Yeah unless BTTF Questions are a disease now!
PoolScoop: Yeah. Maybe they were trying to sound more 'intellectual'
PoolScoop: hehe
vampdocette: hehe, probably
EnigmaSphinx42: Well it backfired completely ;-)
EnigmaSphinx42: Made them look more dumb
vampdocette: *nodnod*
Anonymoose84: As Lisa said "It's better to remain mute and be thought of as a fool, then to open your mouth and remove all doubt."
vampdocette: yup
PoolScoop: Good point
PoolScoop: I like me & Shandy's "echoes" threads and all that....
vampdocette: :-D
PoolScoop: yet on the other hand, the informal stuff in T&P is nice too.
Anonymoose84: And Homer's answer of course! "What does that mean? Better say something or they'll think you're stupid..."
vampdocette: lol
PoolScoop: Hehe - or Kent Brockman before he tried to film something. "Cameras aren't allowed in the courtroom, so we will have to be very quiet". *door shuts on him* LOL
Anonymoose84: "Do'h!"
PoolScoop: DOn't ask why I remembered that now
vampdocette: *has sorted her crossover bios into two categories -- one for her X-Duology and one for her OckDocumentary*
Anonymoose84: It's Ok, I've always got "And guess who's been practicing medicine without a licence' in my head...
vampdocette: :-P
Anonymoose84: Probably cause I'm always trying to self-diagnose!
vampdocette: aha
Anonymoose84: Turns out it was Homer practicing medicine illegal LOL!
PoolScoop: LOL. How long do you think that'll run for? I read an article in 1997 or so that made it sound like it might go on another 2 years at most. They outdid that, hehe
PoolScoop: ^ LOL
vampdocette: ahh, I see
PoolScoop: It's not as good as it used to be, but I'd say it's got another 3 years in it
vampdocette: ahhh
Anonymoose84: "They'll never stop the Simpsons...we've got ideas for years and years and years" ;-)
vampdocette: :-D
PoolScoop: Hehe I hope so actually.
PoolScoop: That's the longest running 'sitcom' I think
vampdocette: wow
Anonymoose84: But after that they have a little jokey piece where Homer says "This'll be our last season..."
vampdocette: ahhh
PoolScoop: I remember that I think
PoolScoop: brb - gotta get a snack.
vampdocette: ok

...To be continued in Part II.

Blind Spot - February 24, 2005 06:38 AM (GMT)
Continued from Part I above.

Anonymoose84: Soooo what are you dudes up to on the merry ol' internet? :-)
EnigmaSphinx42: Looking at Darwin Awards and contemplating sleep
vampdocette: looking at communites that come up when you search octavius and stuff like that
EnigmaSphinx42: Some drunk idiot chopped off his own head with a chainsaw
EnigmaSphinx42: On PURPOSE
vampdocette: O.O I think I remember that
Anonymoose84: WHAT? He'd be dead!
EnigmaSphinx42: He IS dead!
vampdocette: hehe
EnigmaSphinx42: Darwin Awards are for people who kill themselves through stupidity
vampdocette: That's why he's nominated for a Darwin
Anonymoose84: OWWW that's would be so painful!
vampdocette: yeah
EnigmaSphinx42: Nah, it'd be pretty painless
EnigmaSphinx42: You'd be dead almost instantly
vampdocette: yeah
EnigmaSphinx42: His last words were "Hey guys, watch this!"
Anonymoose84: But wouldn't he have to cut his whole head off? Surely it would hurt as he cuts through the skin...
EnigmaSphinx42: *facepalm*
vampdocette: Famous last words
EnigmaSphinx42: .....CHAINSAW, Moose
vampdocette: The do their work fast
EnigmaSphinx42: All he'd have to do is swing the thing in his neck's general direction
vampdocette: nodnod
Anonymoose84: I see....dear me...why didn't his friends stop him?
EnigmaSphinx42: Because they were drunk too
EnigmaSphinx42: Also the other guy had just cut off his own foot
vampdocette: O.O
EnigmaSphinx42: On purpose
PoolScoop: LOL what'd I miss here?
Anonymoose84: Owww!
vampdocette: Darwin Award people
Anonymoose84: What a terrible party!
vampdocette: yeah
PoolScoop: I've heard of that - funny in a slightly disturbing way!
vampdocette: yeah
Anonymoose84: I cough...
EnigmaSphinx42: ...okay, Darwin Awards are not specifically for killing yourself through stupidity, but by removing yourself from the gene pool through stupidity
vampdocette: Yeah
vampdocette: There's a very rare breed that just manages to sterilize themselves, but live
EnigmaSphinx42: Like this one guy climbed a power tower and burned his genitals off
PoolScoop: Reminds me of 'America's Dumbest Criminals'
vampdocette: Yeowch
PoolScoop: ^ LOL, sorry I shouldn't laugh
vampdocette: lol, I have that book series
Anonymoose84: Owww!
Anonymoose84: That has to hurt bad!
vampdocette: Oooh yeah
PoolScoop: I hope he didn't feel it for long!
EnigmaSphinx42: Oooh, he felt it all right
vampdocette: hehehehe
EnigmaSphinx42: He lived, dammit
PoolScoop: I guess this wasn't a death.
Anonymoose84: My favourite criminals were these Japanese guys who robbed a bank of millions and a few days later sent the bank a 'Thank You' note!
PoolScoop: ^ n/m LOL
EnigmaSphinx42: At least he can't reproduce
PoolScoop: Hehe
vampdocette: O.o
vampdocette: lol
PoolScoop: ^ Probably not. Good point
Anonymoose84: The Japanese people are so polite!
vampdocette: Not always
Anonymoose84: Well obviously in general I meant :-)
vampdocette: Another Japanese man robbed his own bank, and got frustrated at his female trainee, and corrected her
EnigmaSphinx42: lol
vampdocette: :-D
Anonymoose84: LOL "You put it IN the bag quickly! You don't count it out!"
vampdocette: Needless to say, he got his
PoolScoop: Hehe, I hope so
vampdocette: Another guy, after robbing a bar, decided that to avoid identification, he'd strip naked
Anonymoose84: Awww no!
EnigmaSphinx42: *snrrk*
PoolScoop: Good way to get arrested anyway, hehe
Anonymoose84: Did he have a distinctive birth mark or something?
vampdocette: And went back into the bar saying "Hey, I just got robbed too!"
vampdocette: lol, no, they just figured out it was him
PoolScoop: I guess his face would still be the same, heh
vampdocette: :-D
Anonymoose84: LOL maybe he was hoping they'd be distracted by something else!
vampdocette: hehehehe
PoolScoop: Hahaha
vampdocette: There's various mask-related mishaps -- forgetting eyeholes, cutting the eyeholes in the wrong place, using a clear plastic bag as a mask
PoolScoop: I have a permanent 12 year old's sense of humor, so i'll always get a kick out of stuff like that!
Anonymoose84: I remember that last one!
vampdocette: :-D yay
PoolScoop: ^ heh a plastic bag?
vampdocette: yeah, I think so
Anonymoose84: That's a good way to get yourself killed...
vampdocette: yeah
PoolScoop: I was gonna say.
Anonymoose84: Hey where's Ael, is she not mocking the stupid with us ;-)
EnigmaSphinx42: Still reading Darwins :-P
vampdocette: hehehe
PoolScoop: I've seen stuff like that on 'World's wildest police videos' too.
vampdocette: hehe, yeah
EnigmaSphinx42: This one guy tried to swallow a live, BITING fish and it latched onto his throat from the inside
EnigmaSphinx42: He suffocated to death
vampdocette: O.o
PoolScoop: They used to just to police chases (which I like) but it's more like a reality show now, lol
vampdocette: lol, I see
PoolScoop: ^ ouch.>:o
Anonymoose84: Any dumb women candidates?
EnigmaSphinx42: One woman was cleaning her shoes with gasoline, they ignited, and she burned to death
vampdocette: Actually, women are highly underrepresented in the Darwins
Anonymoose84: What the Hell?
vampdocette: O.o Oo-kay
Anonymoose84: Probably because we're smarter! (Sorry Spotty ;-) )
PoolScoop: Heh, even though I *am* a guy, I'll admit there's some dumb guys out there! LOL
PoolScoop: ^ didn't see you posted that first, hehe
vampdocette: Either that, or better at hiding the mistakes of our dumber brethren :-P
PoolScoop: lol
Anonymoose84: Indeed just like women murderers!
vampdocette: *nodnod*
EnigmaSphinx42: .......oh, now that's just moronic
vampdocette: what now?
EnigmaSphinx42: Six foot tall guy. Four foot deep pool. Headfirst dive off the roof into said pool.
PoolScoop: It's more now than it used to be, I think, but it's still rare in comparison
Anonymoose84: Oh no! Owww!
vampdocette: *headdesk*
PoolScoop: These guys make Beavis & Butthead look like geniuses, hehe
vampdocette: I know, really
PoolScoop: at least they figured out how to do Ding dong Ditch!
vampdocette: ahhh
PoolScoop: I wonder if it's just a momentary 'not thinking' instance
Anonymoose84: I watch the Crime and Investigation Network a lot and it's always odd to see how women murderers are treated differently..
vampdocette: Hmmm
vampdocette: ah
PoolScoop: or if these people had a history of doing dumb things
Anonymoose84: ...like they'll do something awful and they'll wonder who drove her to it. Yet when it comes to men, they just think they're sick bastards.
vampdocette: Sound sexist
Anonymoose84: I agree...they're ALL sick SOBs :P
vampdocette: yeah
PoolScoop: For sure
PoolScoop: Hell I don't hardly have it in me to get in a fight, let alone serial kill. I'm sure most people don't either.
vampdocette: yeah, really
Anonymoose84: Yeah...most people are like Original George."I'm not very good at con-FRON-tations..."
vampdocette: aww
PoolScoop: Hehe, me neither
PoolScoop: I would only get in one if I had to probably. Luckily that hasn't happened yet...
vampdocette: yeah, good thing
Anonymoose84: Yeah I'd run away probably.
PoolScoop: which is nice 'cause I can still say, "But I've never picked a fight in my entire life" and mean it, lol
vampdocette: :-D
EnigmaSphinx42: Ah, if only I could say the same
vampdocette: ahh
PoolScoop: Most people have probably been in a few
Anonymoose84: Have you picked a fight Ael?I've fought my brothers though...
EnigmaSphinx42: I used to fight anyone and everyone on the playground as a kid ;-)
vampdocette: hehehe
Anonymoose84: I can't imagine it! Did you get into lots of trouble?
vampdocette: I've never been in a fight -- was accused of punching a girl in the face, but didn't do it
EnigmaSphinx42: I fought dirty too, most of my opponents were boys and I knew how to hit 'em where it counted
EnigmaSphinx42: Yeah, I got in trouble all the time
vampdocette: Oooo
PoolScoop: That sucks--how'd that happen?
Anonymoose84: Ooo not the nuts!
EnigmaSphinx42: They finally drilled the habit out of me ^_^;;;
PoolScoop: ^ lol
vampdocette: hehe
Anonymoose84: I kneed my brother in the nuts for NO reason at all...shame on me!
EnigmaSphinx42: Thouhg I still have a tendancy to want to smack stupid people over the head with something heavy
PoolScoop: Did the boys deserve it at all? jw
vampdocette: yeah, hehe
EnigmaSphinx42: Yeah, sometimes ;-)
PoolScoop: That's semi excusable then! :-)
EnigmaSphinx42: Although in second grade I learned how to use "cooties" to my advantage ;-)
vampdocette: Ooooo, hehehe
EnigmaSphinx42: Boys won't leave me alone, I pretend to try to kiss them and they flee, screaming in terror
vampdocette: :-P
PoolScoop: Funny enough even when I was little, I never thought girls had cooties, LOL
vampdocette: wow
EnigmaSphinx42: Well I'm not sure whether it was cooties or just kissing they were afraid of ;-)
Anonymoose84: Boys and girls a like used to tease me, so I'd just go off and hide...poor Moose...
PoolScoop: Hell I always liked 'em, (I was just afraid of em). Wait I still am, hehe
vampdocette: hehehehe
PoolScoop: ^ heh
vampdocette: awww, poor moosie
PoolScoop: Why'd they tease you?
vampdocette: Back in elementary school, my classmates pretended that I had "Vicky germs"
Anonymoose84: They teased me because I was strange I'd like to make up stories in my head and I had weird hair....
PoolScoop: I knew kids who said stuff like that. Always seemed silly to me
vampdocette: awww, yeah
vampdocette: *hugs Moosie*
PoolScoop: That's sometimes why I felt I was born too late. This past few generations is like that
PoolScoop: ^ me too*
vampdocette: Ahh, yeah
Anonymoose84: I wonder though if everyone gets teased, it seems like it...even my ever popular big bro got teased in one of his schools!
PoolScoop: I guess boys always fought, no matter what era, but kids teasing each other is way worse than 50 years ago from what I hear
vampdocette: Wow, I see
vampdocette: yeah
Anonymoose84: Yeah but life 50 years ago was a lot harder! No TV :o At least not in Aus...
PoolScoop: I think alot of people who do the teasing aren't so bad on their own, it's the group thing that turns kids into assholes sometimes
vampdocette: *nodnod*
EnigmaSphinx42: lol I'm just picturing Marty saying that XD
EnigmaSphinx42: "No TV!"
vampdocette: hehehe
PoolScoop: ^ I couldn't live without a TV, lol
Anonymoose84: Or the ever precious internet! Or the Sims 2!
vampdocette: hehehe, yeah
PoolScoop: if I don't have Internet access for more than 3 days, I'm going crazy, heh
vampdocette: Need my computer *hugs it*
Anonymoose84: I love it when Homer says "Ah, they have the internet on computers now..."I almost went insane when LJ was down for just one day....
PoolScoop: Hehe, I love reading other people's.
vampdocette: hehehehe
PoolScoop: I don't write on paper as much as before because of the comp.
Anonymoose84: So do I, but whenever I try and do the random search thing I always get some weirdoes...who don't use captail letters...
vampdocette: Ahhh, yeah
vampdocette: O.o
Anonymoose84: capital...
PoolScoop: Hehe
Anonymoose84: I was gonna say correct spelling, but if I had I would have made an ass of myself ;-)
vampdocette: hehehe
PoolScoop: Yeah, I bite my tongue alot too
vampdocette: lol
PoolScoop: I've seen some terrible spelling online before
vampdocette: I know, argh
Anonymoose84: I just hate it when they don't use capitals! I can't see the end of the sentences and hurts my poor brain...
vampdocette: yeah, I know
PoolScoop: I mean I let it slide a little in chatrooms like this cause it's 'live' but it's actually harder for me NOT to type normally
PoolScoop: I just do it out of habit
vampdocette: hehehe, I know
Anonymoose84: Yeah so do I...
PoolScoop: Maybe some people are just in a hurry or haven't typed that long...
vampdocette: hmmm, yeah
Anonymoose84: Maybe...
PoolScoop: I remember I learned how to type at maybe 6 or 7. Of course I mostly just did audio tape covers, hehe but better than nothing.
vampdocette: lol
vampdocette: I learned to type in school, 6th-7th grade
Anonymoose84: Wow! I only learnt to type at 12 and I was the only one in my calss who bothered to learn properly. A fact that came and bit the other kids on the ass later on.
PoolScoop: Yeah. you don't have to be fast necesarilly. I still look at the keys from time to time
vampdocette: hehehe, me too
PoolScoop: although way less than before...
EnigmaSphinx42: I almost always look at the keys, but I can type faster than most people I know
vampdocette: coolness
EnigmaSphinx42: I can type without looking if I have to, like if it's in the dark or something
Anonymoose84: I can generally get by without looking...I da MAN!I'm also dizzy...what a pain in the ass....
EnigmaSphinx42: Which is funny because I don't do the fingers-on-certain-keys..touch-typing? Whatever it's called
vampdocette: O.o wow
vampdocette: touch-typing, yeah
EnigmaSphinx42: I just use the first two fingers and thumb on both hands to type
EnigmaSphinx42: And I can do that without looking, without typos, on a good day ;-)
vampdocette: hehehe, coolness
Anonymoose84: Wow! And you type fast? My mother does that too, takes her AAAAGES too.
PoolScoop: I remember we did a computer kinda class in 7th grade and one of the things was we were supposed to not look at the keys...
vampdocette: Ahhh, yeah, I had that too
EnigmaSphinx42: They taught us that too
Anonymoose84: "For every key you look at...I will KILL you..." ;-)
vampdocette: hehehehe
EnigmaSphinx42: Required class in high school
PoolScoop: at the time I thought, "That's harder than walking a tightrope and not looking down" lol
vampdocette: lol
PoolScoop: hehe
EnigmaSphinx42: Told us it was our final exam, they'd cover the keys and make us type
vampdocette: O.o
EnigmaSphinx42: Guess what, they NEVER DID
vampdocette: hehehehehe
PoolScoop: Just a look every 5-10 seconds is all I need now
PoolScoop: ^ That works
EnigmaSphinx42: So I typed slower than I'm supposed to for the entire trimester
vampdocette: *nodnod* hehe
PoolScoop: I knew that once I memorized (and made a word out of) the top row "Qwertyuiop" I was progressing, hehe.
vampdocette: *snork*
Anonymoose84: I love Qwerty!
vampdocette: hehehe
PoolScoop: I thought that was a verb. You could qwerty someone (you) up, haha
EnigmaSphinx42: "Qwerty, this isn't a verse, it's a recipie for meatloaf!"
vampdocette: :-P
PoolScoop: I wonder if the keys were placed as they are for a reason, or was it random?
Anonymoose84: Yikes I have to fold up my couchbed before I leave my apartment...I worry due to the schmoozle that occured when I had to UNFOLD it!
vampdocette: Ahhh, yipes
EnigmaSphinx42: There's a reason, yeah
EnigmaSphinx42: Supposedly they're arranged according to the amount of use in everyday language they get
Anonymoose84: It's not random, at first keys were in alphabetical order but it was found that the vowels were used more ofthen.
vampdocette: I heard it was to slow down too-fast typists in demonstrations
PoolScoop: I used to sleep on one of those for a few years. I liked it 'caues it actually saved room and was easy to get off of.
PoolScoop: Less comfortable though
vampdocette: So the put the most-used letters under the weakest fingers
PoolScoop: ^ yeah
vampdocette: hehe, Hmmm
Anonymoose84: Yeah that too...but there's no way I could use and ABC keyboard now!
PoolScoop: well, I'm right handed, so I actually use that maybe 60% and reach over a little.
vampdocette: hehehe
PoolScoop: LOL I can't imagine that
vampdocette: :-D
EnigmaSphinx42: Hell, aren't we all righties here?
vampdocette: I'm a righty
PoolScoop: Yeah me too
Anonymoose84: I'm ambidexterious...I used to write with my right hand (badly) so I swapped and I still write badly...
vampdocette: Ahhh, cool
PoolScoop: about 12 years ago I fractured my right arm and was in a cast for a few weeks so I kinda had to learn to do dominant stuff with the other hand.
vampdocette: interesting
Anonymoose84: How'd it go for you?
PoolScoop: It was still hard, but I was getting semi used to it
vampdocette: ahhh
Anonymoose84: I did most things with my left hand anyway so it wasn't that much of a change.
PoolScoop: I do remember joking with the doctor saying I wish it could've been my other hand, LOL!
vampdocette: hehehehe
Anonymoose84: I broke my left arm when I was still right handed...it still sucked though..
PoolScoop: He said, "Ahh, don't you wish it was neither hand, kid?" and I was like 'Oh, maybe that would've been better' LOL
vampdocette: yipes
vampdocette: hehe
Anonymoose84: LMAO! Never thought of that either!
vampdocette: *feels grateful she's never broken anything*
EnigmaSphinx42: Heheheh
PoolScoop: I've been extremely careful since then too
vampdocette: :-D
EnigmaSphinx42: I got my first broken bone last CHRISTMAS, go me
vampdocette: hehe, yeah
vampdocette: At least it was just a broken toe
PoolScoop: I do worry though since I'm semi clumsy with stairs. I've had alot of near misses there, heh
EnigmaSphinx42: Yeah, but it shouldn't have been a broken ANYTHING
Anonymoose84: Those take AGES to heal though...
vampdocette: yeah, true
vampdocette: blah
Anonymoose84: Preparing to fold up the couch...
PoolScoop: It depends on how badly it's broken--but no breaking is good. Mine was only a hairline fracture and even that was something you couldn't pay me to relive!
vampdocette: yeah, ouchie
vampdocette: Good luck Moose
Anonymoose84: If I'm not back in ten minutes...send help!
vampdocette: hehe
PoolScoop: Okay, heh
PoolScoop: Reminds me of Ace Ventura, "If i'm not back in 5 minutes, just wait longer."
vampdocette: :-P
Anonymoose84: Aha! I have defeated it!
vampdocette: hooray!
Anonymoose84: I am Great!
vampdocette: *applause*
EnigmaSphinx42: ....well HERE'S a Darwin worth mentioning
PoolScoop: Heh, that was quick. Must've been flawless
EnigmaSphinx42: "A sword swallower died in Bonn after he put an umbrella down his throat - and accidentally pushed the button that opened it."
vampdocette: hehe, I remember that from the books
PoolScoop: Hurts even thinking about that one, lol
Anonymoose84: Cool George: If you put your mind to it you can accomplish ANYTHING!
vampdocette: yeah, I know
Anonymoose84: Yeah I actually yelled OWWW outloud when I read that one Ael!
vampdocette: hehehe
EnigmaSphinx42: Unfortunately ;-)
PoolScoop: I always have gotten stuck with broken umbrellas,,,I'd trade him, heh
vampdocette: heh
Anonymoose84: That really must have been a painful way too go...
vampdocette: yeah, really
PoolScoop: I just hope it was quick. I'm sure if it was documented, people saw it too
vampdocette: yeah, *shiver*
Anonymoose84: Does it say if it was quick Ael?
EnigmaSphinx42: Nope, that's all it says
Anonymoose84: I've heard of unbrellas been opened up in other parts of the anatomy....owwww!
PoolScoop: With all this talk about it, I'll just say I hope my times comes either in my sleep or in a way I don't feel it
vampdocette: yeow
PoolScoop: ^ >:o
vampdocette: yeah, I know
Anonymoose84: I'm thinking of guys here...don't ask it a paragraph in a book that scarred me for life...
vampdocette: yipes
vampdocette: *petpet*
PoolScoop: I just wonder though--people today can live to 85 or 90 pretty easily. When we (I think we're all within about 5 years here) are all old, I bet 120 won't be uncommon
vampdocette: yeah, really
Anonymoose84: I hope so! Then we can ring in 2200!
vampdocette: lol
PoolScoop: To think all of us could live to, say 130. Then I'll only start middle age at 60
vampdocette: hehehehe, yay
PoolScoop: I'm shooting for 2100.
vampdocette: yeah
PoolScoop: But by then I'm sure I really will look like Old Biff
Anonymoose84: I mean err 2100! Sorry! Can't count!
vampdocette: :-P
Anonymoose84: 2200 would make me REAAALLY old!
vampdocette: yesum yesum
PoolScoop: In one respect, it would be cool to see what, say the year 10,000 will be like
vampdocette: hehe, yeah
PoolScoop: I mean, I wonder if all the roads and highways will always be there, etc
vampdocette: Hmmmm
Anonymoose84: Roads where we going we don't need...roads!
vampdocette: lol, yeah
PoolScoop: or if someone will uncover an abandoned Taco Bell and say, "The ancient Americans, circa 1995 AD, ate what they called 'fast food' here, hehe
vampdocette: lol
PoolScoop: The History Channel in 20,000 AD, hehe
Anonymoose84: LMAO! That'd be so funny!
vampdocette: :-D
Anonymoose84: "Here are relics of the Moose...an ancient human who was well know for her cra-a-a-aziness...
PoolScoop: Hehe
vampdocette: *snork*
PoolScoop: I hope it's at least a little like Futurama predicted though
vampdocette: lol, I see
Anonymoose84: Maybe they'll have HoloTvs or something by then, every in 3D and stuff!
vampdocette: *snork*
PoolScoop: Maybe TV will be obsolete, who knows
vampdocette: hmmm
Anonymoose84: We'll all have bionic implants!
PoolScoop: That was an idea way out of its time. More like 3015 than 2015, lol
vampdocette: hehehe
vampdocette: yeah
PoolScoop: brb in 2 mins
vampdocette: ok
Anonymoose84: Say Ael what's the http: of the Darwin Awards?...
EnigmaSphinx42: ....... http://darwinawards.com
Anonymoose84: LOL, duh!
vampdocette: ;-p
Anonymoose84: Oh my Death from Lava Lamp!
vampdocette: yeah, strangeness
vampdocette: *hits the randomizer* LoL, it's one for you, Moose
Anonymoose84: Yeah?
vampdocette: (26 December 1997, Brazil) A bicyclist crossing an airport runway in Sorocaba, a city 87 kilometers from Sao Paulo, was killed when he was hit by a landing airplane.
EnigmaSphinx42: lol
vampdocette: Marcelo, 25, could not hear the twin-engine plane because he was listening to his Walkman on headphones, investigators said. The propellor and right wing of the plane were damaged.
EnigmaSphinx42: Listening to his walkman, yeah
vampdocette: *groan*
PoolScoop: Heh, how could he even hear it anyway>
vampdocette: I know
Anonymoose84: Oh dear! That's so sad!Hey this is funny three terrorists accidently killed themselves due to confusion over daylight savings time...
vampdocette: lol, I know about that
PoolScoop: heh, what happened there?
Anonymoose84: Well they came and picked up the bombs at 4pm their time but they'd been set up with a clock an hour ahead (Daylight Savings Time) and half an hour later...whoops!
vampdocette: hehe, yup
vampdocette: They were refusing to live on zionist time
PoolScoop: lol
EnigmaSphinx42: ....ouch, this is worse than the six-foot guy jumping off his roof into 4 foot water
Anonymoose84: When Political Stands go wrong...or right maybe....
vampdocette: lol
EnigmaSphinx42: 70 feet up into three foot deep water
vampdocette: *headdesk*
PoolScoop: me too
Anonymoose84: Owww dear! That's gotta hurt like Hell!
PoolScoop: You have to wonder what they were thinking....
EnigmaSphinx42: .....no, I'm pretty sure he never felt it
vampdocette: Who says they were thinking?
PoolScoop: how many survivor incidents are there?
Anonymoose84: LOL!
vampdocette: :-D
EnigmaSphinx42: Not many
EnigmaSphinx42: And those who did survive are usually men who've destroyed their bits
vampdocette: yeah
PoolScoop: If there are, at least you could ask them, lol
PoolScoop: ^ hehe
EnigmaSphinx42: Like the guy who tried to shoplift two live lobsters by stuffing them in his pants
vampdocette: ouch
PoolScoop: I think I can figure out the rest, lol
Anonymoose84: LMAO! That is HI-LA-RIOUS!
Anonymoose84: Well that's sad a guy dehydrated to death (I don't know what you'd call it) within sight of his truck and all the water inside it!
EnigmaSphinx42: Yeah, I read that
EnigmaSphinx42: Very likely
vampdocette: yeah, I read about that too
PoolScoop: Thats depressing. How'd that happen
vampdocette: He was hiking across one of the driest, hottest places you can hike
EnigmaSphinx42: He was trying to cross a desert area with temperatures over 130 F
vampdocette: And he miscalculated and didn't take enough water
vampdocette: yeah
EnigmaSphinx42: And dehydrated to death
Anonymoose84: Well he thought he had enough water, but didn't and he must have sat down for a little break and fainted..
EnigmaSphinx42: Um, no
EnigmaSphinx42: He was out of water and couldn't go any further
vampdocette: yeah, his blood was too thin or something of the sort
EnigmaSphinx42: Because, you know, his blood had thickened to paste
vampdocette: oh, yeah
PoolScoop: Yeah. I'd think if he saw his truck, he'd have the will to keep going, but maybe he thought he'd just rest awhile
EnigmaSphinx42: ...if it was thin there'd be water in him :-P
vampdocette: yeah, hehe, I knew it was one or the other
EnigmaSphinx42: No, he COULDN'T
EnigmaSphinx42: It's not a matter of willpower
EnigmaSphinx42: He was physically incapable
Anonymoose84: Yeah and he was tired, and they figured he saw his truck...and just thought I'll sit down for a minute...
PoolScoop: Yeah I guess it's different than running and getting tired, etc
vampdocette: yeah
EnigmaSphinx42: Actually if he was dehydrated he probably hallucinated and might not've known it was there
vampdocette: Hmmm, interesting
Anonymoose84: Hey does that mean drinking TOO much water can make your blood too thing?
PoolScoop: yeah. Sometimes I've heard they can see mirages too
Anonymoose84: ^thin
vampdocette: yipes
EnigmaSphinx42: No, I doubt it makes your blood too thin
EnigmaSphinx42: Just makes you have to pee really bad ;-)
vampdocette: hehehehe
PoolScoop: lol
Anonymoose84: Ah I wondered because I'm feeling dizzy and thought maybe I've drunk too much!
PoolScoop: Like Homer with the crab juice
vampdocette: Ahhh
vampdocette: lol
PoolScoop: Just had to bring that up to not get me depressed, lol
PoolScoop: I don't think it's easy to drink too much water though I guess you could
vampdocette: hmmm
PoolScoop: I've rarely known anyone who did the '8 glasses a day' thing.
PoolScoop: and that's technically what you're supposed to
vampdocette: I know someone who does that and then some -- my Mom
Anonymoose84: I drink much more than that I think.But you can drink to much water, and it makes your brain swell up and you die!
vampdocette: She drinks two big bottles of fizzy water a day
vampdocette: Yipes
EnigmaSphinx42: ....where did you get THAT from, Moose?
vampdocette: yeah
EnigmaSphinx42: Because my bio class just went over osmosis and I don't think that works
PoolScoop: I do like bottled/flitered water alot actually. That counts, doesn't it?
vampdocette: yeah
Anonymoose84: Well I suppose you have to also have a lack of salts...but it happens when you take exctasy sometimes...
vampdocette: O.o
PoolScoop: I kinda traded soda for that about 10 years ago, heh
vampdocette: hehe
Anonymoose84: But yes a girl died of it because she took the drug and drank and drank and drank and drank...
PoolScoop: If you added up the sodas I had from, say age 2 to 12, it'd be [a funny comparison I can't think of now], LOL
EnigmaSphinx42: Well I should get going, it's 12:34 (heh) and I have school tomorrow
vampdocette: *nodnod*
PoolScoop: ^ I've heard of stuff like that on Dateline, etc
vampdocette: yeah, I'm just plain tired
EnigmaSphinx42: See y'all later
PoolScoop: Yeah I forgot it's late on the East Coast
vampdocette: yeah
PoolScoop: TTY soon, good nite
vampdocette: bai all *hugs*
EnigmaSphinx42: 'night
Anonymoose84: Whoops! Sorry guys didn't notice :-)*Hugs from the Georges, Lorraines, Catbus, Bob, Otto and me*
PoolScoop: :-)
EnigmaSphinx42: *hug*
EnigmaSphinx42 has left the room.
vampdocette has left the room.
Anonymoose84: Awww...off they go!
PoolScoop: Are you staying on?
PoolScoop: I'm lonely now, hehe
Anonymoose84: Yeah...I'm wating until peak hour finishes before I go over to my parents place.
PoolScoop: yeah. It's 4:30 there, right?
Anonymoose84: It is indeed! :-)
PoolScoop: Good, I have the times down now
Anonymoose84: :-) I don't have the times for up thre yet...what time is it up there?
PoolScoop: it got late on me, LOL. I thought it was like 6PM and it's 9:30
Anonymoose84: LOL I've had that happen to me too!
PoolScoop: ^ I answered you without even knowing it!!
PoolScoop: I must've time travelled 5 seconds into the past!
Anonymoose84: I thought it might be that...hey in like 40 mins or something until the West Coast 10:04pm Call!
PoolScoop: Oh yeah. And that's Hill Valley time too
Anonymoose84: Indeed! :-)
PoolScoop: Of course, I also celebrate 4:29 (when I remember)
Anonymoose84: What's the significance of that?
PoolScoop: the time they arrived in 2015
Anonymoose84: Ah yes I just thought of that...
PoolScoop: Well it was actually probably 4:32-35 when they landed, lol
Anonymoose84: Didn't they get back to 1985-A some time around 9 though?
PoolScoop: yeah. They left 2015/2015-A at 7:28 PM and I think it was 9PM they went to
Anonymoose84: Yeah....but who'd wanna celebrate that! O.ODead George looks meancing
PoolScoop: I always thought it would've been cool if they went back in the daytime, right after they left at 10:30-11AM or so
PoolScoop: ^ true
PoolScoop: I think 1985-a would look slightly less scary in the daytime
Anonymoose84: I guess they did it so Marty's poor eyes wouldn't get half blind...you know like how you leave the movie theatre in the daytime?
PoolScoop: do you think it would still be crawling with bikers and thugs though?
Anonymoose84: Maybe they were all asleep?
PoolScoop: ^ yeah, LOL. They actually never went from day to night, etc
Anonymoose84: But I bet Biff's was full of people...
PoolScoop: That's possible. but do you think it would still be hell to walk around there no matter what time?
PoolScoop: ^ that too
Anonymoose84: Hmm...maybe not exactly dangerous, but you'd still be kind of worried, like walking through a bad downtown suburb,
PoolScoop: Yeah, I've been around those
Anonymoose84: I've been around one too, you're always looking over your shoulder...
PoolScoop: Plus the bikers' convention was that night, so it was probably slightly worse then normal
Anonymoose84: Indeed...but those tanks might be always out patrolling the streets at night.
PoolScoop: ^ Yeah. That's exactly why I don't like getting off the bus in unfamiliar neighborhoods sometimes
PoolScoop: yeah
PoolScoop: Have you read an (in progress) fanfic from Doc Lathrop Brown called 'Too Late'? That's a possible accurate picture of the A timeline
Anonymoose84: Yeah that's a good fic! :-) Even Strickland shows up!
PoolScoop: Hehe yeah. I actually enjoyed it more 'cause some of the stuff he alluded to isn't maybe how I'd have figured (while some is), so it's a nice balance
PoolScoop: Like the LP mall doesn't exist--it's the run-down Peabody farm
Anonymoose84: Hmm...I wonder would the Mall still exist? Who would go there?
PoolScoop: I thought the mall would exist, but maybe it would be filled with looters, etc
PoolScoop: Well it was a couple miles from the center of town, so maybe it wasn't quite as bad out there
Anonymoose84: Maybe it's called BiffCo Mall :P
Anonymoose84: For all your Hazardous Waste Needs...
PoolScoop: Could be >:o. Or Tannen City mall
PoolScoop: The real reason we didn't see the other half of town is 'cause they're real locations so they couldn't trash them up. But it's cool to think about...
PoolScoop: the only clue we have is Doc's garage, which looks kinda run down
Anonymoose84: Indeed!
Anonymoose84: It's pretty bad I bet there's no Burger King theree!
PoolScoop: Or at least not anymore. Maybe that side of town is abandoned
Anonymoose84: Like the Library :-(
PoolScoop: Yeah, i hadn't thought of that...
Anonymoose84: Poor Library!
PoolScoop: we do see in in Part 3, but from the inside so we don't know where it is
PoolScoop: :-(
Anonymoose84: And in Part III it looks like a really nifty Library too, old fashioned and stuff :-)
PoolScoop: Well it was still '55, but that's true :-)
Anonymoose84: Well it looks sort of 19th cent.
PoolScoop: Sort of. Maybe even by TP/LP 1985, they kept it that way
Anonymoose84: Or is that early 20th Cent....
Anonymoose84: I hope so it's probably a Historical Landmark!
PoolScoop: Yeah. Heck, even in 2015, maybe it's the same
Anonymoose84: Probably if it's Hertiage Protected...do you have Hertiage Protection over there>
PoolScoop: What do you think the rest of the state/country/world was like in 1985-A? I've heard differing views
PoolScoop: ^ I've heard of that- i'm sure some places around here have it
Anonymoose84: Well Biff Co was probably a big company so maybe there were plants all over California and maybe the rest of the US...
PoolScoop: I wonder if Hill Valley was the worst place out there. Maybe Los Angeles-A would be a million times worse. >:o
PoolScoop: I never thought of that, but could be...
Anonymoose84: Yeah....maybe all the Drug Dealers and stuff went to Hill Valley...
PoolScoop: esp with the toxic waste plant in the COurthouse Square
Anonymoose84: Biff probably legalised drugs too!
PoolScoop: WOuldn't surprise me.
PoolScoop: And schools probably werent' required. We know Biff hated school himself anyway
PoolScoop: so by that logic, the whole world could be way different.
Anonymoose84: Yeah...I bet a generation of kiddies couldn't read...or maybe only some school so they could read the Biffs sign and the slot machines.
PoolScoop: LOL, sad but true
Anonymoose84: Ow I feel like I've been hit on the back of my head...but I haven't...weird!
PoolScoop: But since we technically see 2015-A for a minute and it looks normal, we have to assume it turned around or at least stopped getting worse
PoolScoop: ^ ouch, is it just a sharp pain?
Anonymoose84: Yeah.
Anonymoose84: Sort of it's like a tender spot when I touch it...
PoolScoop: I hate those--did you bump it earlier maybe?
Anonymoose84: Hmm...maybe...it could be a weird headache...?
PoolScoop: Yeah. I hate those pounding headaches, I get them every so often
Anonymoose84: I get one where only one side of my head hurts...I did have on of those pounding headaches it was awful :-(
PoolScoop: :-( *hugs again*. Sometimes I've found all you can do is sleep it off in that case
Anonymoose84: Yeah I've noticed sleep works! :-)
PoolScoop: That or Aspirin
Anonymoose84: Indeed! Nothing like good ol' Aspirin, life must have sucked before it came out.
PoolScoop: "Thing I miss most here is Tylenol" - close enough, lol
Anonymoose84: LOL yeah! Poor Doc ;-)
Anonymoose84: Buford could of used some at the end of the movie too :P
PoolScoop: I'm sure of it. I bet he never forgot that, lol
Anonymoose84: Do you think he all ready had kids? Or that he had 'em later on?
PoolScoop: Probably did--I once figured the math...
PoolScoop: since the McFlys and Tannens are the same age, William & Buford's kid must be too
PoolScoop: so I'd say he had a kid in 1883/84 of every timeline
Anonymoose84: Hmmm...yeah I remember that the Part I novel where Marty mentions his Grandfather went to World War I couldn't possibly be true, because William would have had to have a child at 15!
Anonymoose84: And men don't usually have 'em that young.
PoolScoop: Yeah, it's vaguely possible, but I doubt it
PoolScoop: Even though in those days 15 was like middle age, lol
Anonymoose84: :D
Anonymoose84: "You kids be quiet! When I was your age I worked in mines!"
PoolScoop: LOL
Anonymoose84: Better then a 15 mile walk to school in bare feet I guess...
PoolScoop: But what I figured was off that we know the McFlys and tannens were born in an 8 or 7 year. Marty--1968, George 1938, etc...
PoolScoop: so William should've been 1878, but it looks more like 1884
PoolScoop: so we have to assume Seamus had him around 26/27, and Will had George's dad around that age too
Anonymoose84: I had George's father being born 1914 or so.
Anonymoose84: I also gave him a twin...so Marlene and Marty Jr have some genetic stuff to go on :-)
PoolScoop: Hehe, I never thought, in the final film, they were twins but I could be wrong
Anonymoose84: Well it's hard to tell...although since they look so much like Marty and the same age people figure it that way...
PoolScoop: 1910-15 sounds about right, so he can have George in the mid 20s
PoolScoop: yeah. Marlene just seems older though. Not much, just a couple years at most, but still
Anonymoose84: Yeah...but people like twins :-) They're cool!
PoolScoop: True. My cousins are Twins, heh
Anonymoose84: Identical?
PoolScoop: Besides, MJ doesn't exactly seem 17, LOL
Anonymoose84 has left the room.
PoolScoop: ^ Not quite, but very similar looking
PoolScoop: MOOSEY'S DISCONNECTION WAS ACCIDENTAL.
PoolScoop: Later y'all. :-)

Th-th-th, that's all folks!

Is there any plans to have another AIM chat like this one in the near future?
If so can you please count me in.

:looks around sad and lonely:

Same here! I mean, it's not so much fun reading them AFTER they've happened...
