I have a big head and little arms. I'm just not sure how well this plan was thought through.

Cristmas: How's your last day at [Company Confidential]?
Iceberg: Turns out I'm here next week too.
Iceberg: Which is nice, so I can make some of my code less hurried and embarrassing.
Cristmas: And not be there super late before having to go to the lab.
Iceberg: Right. I'm leaving at 4, come hell or tyrannosauruses.
Cristmas: LOL?
Iceberg: Hell is scary, but high water isn't.
Iceberg: But, tyrannosauruses are fucking scary, even though their arms are short like mine.

We don't need no water!

GorbaChavez: I'm going to be spending on some home improvement.
El Tigre: The camera is life improvement!
El Tigre: Soon your daughters will be playing at Wimbelton and you'll wonder where the years went
GorbaChavez: you make a hard sale
El Tigre: tell me what home improvement you're planning so I can tell you why it's not necessary
GorbaChavez: I have no roof!
El Tigre: In retrospect, when the roof was on fire, you should not have let the m'fer burn.

Welcome to Petoria

NotTheMama: I so hate lazy communicators
NotTheMama: I hate pulling teeth just to get basic info out of ppl
GorbaChavez:  Lots of people lack critical thinking skills
NotTheMama: you'd think someone whose title is "The Man" would have these basic skills
GorbaChavez: The Peter Principle
GorbaChavez: look it up
GorbaChavez: not to be confused with The Pleasure Principle
GorbaChavez: or Principal Skinner
NotTheMama: duly noted
NotTheMama: at first i thought it was gonna be a Family Guy gag

Does Marsellus Wallace look like a bitch?

GorbaChavez: is it safe to rsync my home directory between two computers?

Iceberg: That should mostly work. I recommend not syncing the desktop config files, though (~/.gconf*, ~/.gnome*, basically anything that you've never heard of and could never hand-edit).
GorbaChavez: I will just rsync the obvious stuff
Iceberg: Yes, I just rsync'd the obvious stuff (like ~/.purple and ~/.mozilla).
GorbaChavez: I have a .fuego!
***Iceberg is looking to see if he has .mayonnaise.
GorbaChavez: .penguintv?
Iceberg: WTF is that?
GorbaChavez: I don't know!
GorbaChavez: but it's followed by .pingus
GorbaChavez: so, so juvenile - pronounced, who-vhe-neel-eh
Iceberg: That hurts my pingus.
GorbaChavez: I giggled at that one
Iceberg: Then I've got my quota for the day.
GorbaChavez: I'm going to have to script out this rsync
GorbaChavez: to keep the laptop and desktop in sync
Iceberg: That, writ large, is what I'm trying to accomplish by putting my entire homedir into version control.
GorbaChavez: english!
Iceberg: Motherfucker, do you speak it!
GorbaChavez: you've got rollover giggles
Iceberg: W00t.

NotTheMama: ...I don't like where this is going
GorbaChavez: you don't like where this is going and I don't like where your ass has been!
NotTheMama: look, it was just that one time... i was young, didn't know any better... dude said he had the entire thundercats collection on dvd
GorbaChavez: ...

GorbaChavez: ...
NotTheMama: this was over two weeks ago... can we please drop it already?

One Ring to Rule them All

Cha'baller: team lunch today, btw
GorbaChavez: you fuckers always have team lunches
Cha'baller: i know, you love my company
GorbaChavez: [removed]?
Cha'baller: um, no
Cha'baller: you have exposed an interesting grammar problem
GorbaChavez: the company of men?
Cha'baller: ah, i meant the verb form, and you implied the noun
Cha'baller: unfortunately, the synonyms for the verb form are lacking
GorbaChavez: company is a verb?
Cha'baller: as in keeping company
Cha'baller: a consort
Cha'baller: to accompany
GorbaChavez: a companion?
Cha'baller: indeed, but not in the sense of my regular "companion"
Cha'baller: ha, fellowship!

To Lunch, or not To Lunch

Cha'baller: lunch plans today?
GorbaChavez: I plan to lunch
Cha'baller: but with whom

Cha'baller: as though a lunch with any other man would taste as sweet
Cha'baller: oh, that i might be that napkin upon her lap, that drip of mustard across her cheek
Cha'baller: lunch, it is the east; and the works, she is the sun
GorbaChavez: you have outdone yourself
