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.
In which we chronicle the calamities that befall the great Citizens of Tillmania...

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.

One Ring to Rule them All

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!
Cha'baller: i know, you love my fellowship
GorbaChavez: fellowship of the ring?

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
