00:34, Kristos> boing
05:46, Jam> boing
10:44, Cryoburner> boing
12:24, 4616599 whispers: Boingo
13:36, E_net4> Bingo
14:39, Cryoburner> Bing goes the Internet...
15:01, 4616599 whispers: Pings are used across the Internet
15:39, E_net4> Ping? Pong!
15:42, 4616599> Pong goes the gong!
15:53, Neuzd> While Pang goes around the world
16:07, Mary Lou> Hey staff people, you have mail!
16:08, 4616599> Mary Lou, why did I have to try SO many times to get the form over?
16:08, 4616599> Not answering me, eh?
16:21, Neuzd> I just had a very crazy idea, don't take it seriously! Anyway it'd be fun if ML could submit an outbox of her own with some systems labels, chosen quasi-randomly.
16:27, Kristos> (I was just reminiscing about a game I made long long ago where the player is a living pogo stick. It was so cool. I'll make a note to remake it in Lino sometime.)
16:37, Barebones> Public anti-kudos to the dutch telephone company KPN. 3 months to change my line to my new apartment.
17:21, Serpens whispers: Italy just lost to Slovakia 2:3 and they're out. Are you happy, neuzd? :P
17:25, Neuzd> Of course I am. It was a very tense extra time
17:33, Serpens> Oh yes, especially because it was almost seven minutes, not four. I'm happy for Slovakia, they're our souther neighbours!
17:33, Serpens meant: southern
17:35, Neuzd> And by the way, does it make any sense that a good team like Italy plays only the last 10 minutes of a match that important? That's one of the reasons I hate Italian football.
17:40, Serpens> Right, they often play like the match would win itself. This often seems to be the case with strong, self-confident teams, but Italy are masters of this.
17:41, Serpens> Did Lippi run away immediately after the final whistle? :P
17:42, Kristos> By football, are we talking about the game with the round ball (USA: Soccer), or the game with the oblong ball (USA: Football)?
17:42, Serpens> Soccer!
17:42, Neuzd> The game with a ball, played with feet. You know Football!
17:42, Kristos> :D
17:42, Neuzd> Not oval-hands
17:44, Kristos> That's the football I like. People get hurt, but it's not the main objective, like it is in the other football. :P
17:45, Neuzd> Anyway I don't know Serpens, I was following the match on the FIFA website. But if Lippi got it bad...well I'm just happier! :P
17:48, Serpens> Hah. I think I saw him running to the tunnel really, really fast.
17:48, Neuzd> Did you see the goal that was ruled out? Was it clear or can I hope for Italians to talk about that episode for weeks to come? :D
17:49, Neuzd meant: talk = baby-crying
17:51, Serpens> The offside was minimal, but obvious. Still, maybe they're going to argue that the camera angle was wrong. :P
17:53, Serpens> I was quite terrified there. It seemed that the Italian soccer luck kicked in.
17:56, Neuzd> Yes and with that interminable extra time i was almost sure they were going to win
17:59, Serpens> Not this time, fortunately. I wonder who's going to be the next coach.
18:00, Neuzd> Another mafia guy, who else?
18:01, Neuzd whispers: I should be prepared to take cover for when Yayo or Alex show up :P
18:03, Serpens> A good foreign coach could change their mentality a bit. More offensive, less diving! Maybe I'd even support them.
18:04, Serpens> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0do5xlE9C_A&feature=player_embedded :P
18:06, Neuzd> Liked and Favorited.
18:07, Kristos> I was thinking the same thing, Neuzd... (About Yayo or Alex)
18:07, Kristos> whispers: Oh, should I have whispered that?
18:07, Kristos> how do I whisper?
18:09, Neuzd> Ak Mary Lou Kristos
18:09, Mary Lou> Place a hash before what you wish to say.
18:10, Neuzd> ....what? Did she just answer lately or did she learn to combine what's being said in different sentences?
18:10, Serpens yells: HEY, ALEX AND YAYO! NEUZD SHOULD BE HIDING FROM YOU, BUT WHOOPS, I NEVER SAID ANYTHING!
18:10, Serpens> How about this? :P
18:11, Neuzd> By the way, instead of saying "a hash", she should directly show the character. it's # Kristos
18:13, Kristos whispers: thanks
20:44, Skinnymon whispers: meh... so Italy bit thr big one. Just as well, it looks like the Dutch are going to take it all anyway...
20:44, Skinnymon whispers: [Of course, bear in mind that Skinny doesn't know hopper poop about foot-round-ball...
20:45, Skinnymon whispers: ...not foot-oval-ball as well- he's a Seattle fan for that one...]
20:46, Skinnymon hides under the armoire.
