It's OK, to be Takei

GorbaChavez: Till-Man is in our timezone.
Vanilla IceBerg: Is that code for him not liking dudes anymore?
GorbaChavez: I like it.
GorbaChavez: wait. did you just call me Takei?
Vanilla IceBerg: No, him.
Vanilla IceBerg: I implied that Till-Man used to be Takei but had now "come to our timezone."
GorbaChavez: It's still funny; even though it had to be explained.

GorbaChavez: dammit.

GorbaChavez: so, Mich-Mich is finally getting around to switching from yahoo mail

GorbaChavez: but you need "mail plus" to use POP and/or forwarding

Vanilla IceBerg: Yup.

Vanilla IceBerg: Been there, done that.

Vanilla IceBerg: That's why Cristmas had a 1-year deadline to get switched over.

Vanilla IceBerg: Which she broke.

Vanilla IceBerg: So now she has a *new* 1-year deadline.

Vanilla IceBerg: Anyway, I set up Gmail to put a red "WTF-Yahoo" label on mail that came through that forwarding pipeline so she would have some indication of how complete the switch was.

GorbaChavez: we're clearly on the same page on this subject

Vanilla IceBerg: By "subject" you mean "life."

Vanilla IceBerg: Mexicans are spongy; that's how they can float across the Gulf to the U.S.

Hey, you're a racist, right?

Remington Steele: ok, i have to say this to _someone_ that understands

Remington Steele: or maybe it's the obvious non-joke
GorbaChavez: the latter
GorbaChavez: like, the white iPhone would be early.
GorbaChavez: wait. did you just call me a racist?

Precious

GorbaChavez: the new price on the old iPad is compelling
GorbaChavez: but I would probably want the iPad2
GorbaChavez: shit just represents so much utility for our demographic
Vanilla IceBerg: The "always buying things" demographic?
Vanilla IceBerg: Or Mexicans?
GorbaChavez: you'll rue the day when we're stuck in a mine and I have my iPad2 and you just have your deposit book, with all your mobneys
Vanilla IceBerg: Like, I'm huddled in the corner, stroking my old-school deposit book.
GorbaChavez: whispering, "Soon, my pretty.  Very, very soon..."

I don't know or care what that is

Vanilla IceBerg: SMS exchange with Cristmas:

Cristmas: So tried to run a report and got the following error "the bootstrap sequence has failed". Awesome, huh?
Cristmas: So called IT and they were usual helpful self. 'you have to hard wired or wifi to download dashboard. Your wireless card doesn't work well'
Me: Wat?
Cristmas: What I heard is 'we have shitty software that requires huge downloads of data. Because of this until you have the same error on wifi go fuck yourself'
Me: I could not possibly be more attracted to you than I am right now.

Gorbachavez: I lol'd
Gorbachavez: you continue to be my favorite humans
Vanilla IceBerg: Ironically.
Vanilla IceBerg: I was trying like crazy to get Baby A on "tape" saying "Never take off robot pants," this weekend.
Vanilla IceBerg: I'm hoping for success soon.
Gorbachavez: I could not possibly be more attracted to you than I am right now.
Vanilla IceBerg: </scene>

GorbaChavez: that sounds about right
Orville Fehrenbacher: It seems too good to be true, the more I think about it
GorbaChavez: let's just say, I used to have three children
