17:24:02 <jessica> "In Boston, Fung Wah's ticket "office" is really a table inside an Asian bakery where the ticket agent checks you off, then tells you to walk a few blocks away to get the bus. Other bus companies are even less stable than Fung Wah, which has used that bakery for years."

17:39:18 <[bjoern]> Is that like http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiMHTK15Pik ?
17:39:38 <jessica> Please note the layout of our country, the period during which it was built and the size of the domestic automobile industry when Eisenhower created the interstate highway system.

17:52:51 <[bjoern]> I like how the land mines article notes "Thirty-seven countries have not agreed to the ban, including China, India, Israel, Pakistan, Russia and the United States." while the ottawa treaty article has "Thirty-seven states, including the People's Republic of China, India, Russia and the United States, are not party to the Convention"
17:53:06 * jessica views Kim Jong-Il as basically the equivalent of a crazy person waving a gun that's probably unloaded.
17:54:13 <clsn> Geez, Tuvalu hasn't signed it? Where the fuck would Tuvalu want to deploy land mines?
17:54:50 <[bjoern]> One in each .tv domain.
17:55:39 <[bjoern]> Some of the autocompletes are almost funny
17:55:58 <clsn> That's probably Tuvalu's main claim to fame. I guess they don't want people stepping on their TLD.
17:56:42 <[bjoern]> "how to raise your iq by eating giftet children"
17:56:55 <jessica> Sort of like Christmas Island's claim to fame was a guy whose intestines were easily visible from his rectum.
17:57:00 <[bjoern]> "do midgets have night vision"
17:57:04 <jessica> Cuba?
17:57:06 <jessica> Cuba?
17:57:08 <jessica> Come on, seriously.
17:57:27 <jessica> where the hell is Cuba going to get the refined metals, gunpowder and plastic explosives to make land mines? ever?
17:57:33 <jessica> it's not like they have the money to buy them either.
17:57:41 <clsn> same place tuvalu will.
17:58:14 <jessica> I'd be more worried about Finland.
17:58:19 <jessica> Nokia's angry that they're losing market share.
17:58:48 <[bjoern]> "From 3AM on Wednesday November 25, 2009, until 3AM the following day (US east coast time), WikiLeaks is releasing over half a million US national text pager intercepts. The intercepts cover a 24 hour period surrounding the September 11, 2001 attacks in New York and Washington."
17:59:07 <jessica> happy thanksgiving?
17:59:35 <jessica> Can they define where these are coming from?
17:59:51 <clsn> oooh, cool, everyone's personal messages now posted on wikilinks. not sure if that's an improvement over "everyone's personal messages being pored over by government officials"
17:59:55 <jessica> Are they coming from actual officials or are they coming from just random U.S.A. folk?
18:00:15 <jessica> Oh! I found out today about White Privilege.
18:00:21 <jessica> I went to the post office to post two books.
18:00:28 <jessica> they asked me what they contained.
18:00:39 <jessica> I said 20 lbs of uncut heroin and a manual on how to make dirty bombs.
18:00:43 <clsn> pages. and ink.
18:00:55 <jessica> they told me to swipe my card when I was ready.
18:01:40 <clsn> I don't think that even in today's America you have to justify the contents of books you're mailing. Though I'm totally making that up.
18:01:42 <jessica> (an acquaintance in another channel talked about having fun by going to a predominantly arab area where there were like 3 nervous white cops, and yelling, "TAKBAR!")
18:01:48 <jessica> Nope.
18:02:02 <jessica> Liquid, fragile, perishable, delicate or hazardous is the litany I remember.
18:02:22 <jessica> you can mail those things as well, although explosives need a special permit.
18:02:26 <clsn> Ah. So "paper, and ink—but the ink is already dry by now, so that's okay"
18:02:41 <jessica> they just care about whether anything's going to leak or break.
18:03:26 <[bjoern]> "Good morning sexy man!! Got my zebra thongs on!!! Feeling a little animalistic!!!"
18:03:36 <[bjoern]> (from the pager observations)
18:04:20 <[bjoern]> it is claimed btw "There's nothing special about how these messages were retrieved. They're transmitted in plain-text, open for anyone with a computer to read at any time"

18:10:05 <jessica> sure, but interstate trucking contracts sound like something used to treat treatment-resistant insomnia.
18:11:08 <[bjoern]> Yeah, but don't underestimate how bored some of the internetizens are.
18:11:33 <clsn> A lot of them are normal business messages "the server is down" "the contract is ready to sign"

21:50:42 <MoiraA> THE most embarrassing thing has happened to me
21:51:01 <MoiraA> I have an iphone
21:51:06 <sbp> you didn't fart in someone's cereal did you?
21:51:12 <MoiraA> you can "make apps"
21:51:26 <sbp> there is nothing more embarassing than accidentally farting in somebody's cereal
21:51:33 <MoiraA> now, if you created ivanish would you think it was pornographic and suggestive?

21:54:40 <MoiraA> *blushes*
21:56:26 <jessica> he's a Briton.
21:56:37 <jessica> women in bikinis indicate that he's read the first two pages of a newspaper.
21:56:51 <sbp> who, Sigismund?
21:57:32 <sbp> also, where do you think Moira is from? Paraguay? :-)
21:57:45 <jessica> I thought she was a fellow norteamericana.
21:57:48 <sbp> she was probably just raised on the Telegraph rather than the Sun
21:58:04 <jessica> "Sun readers don't care who runs the country, as long as she's got big tits."
21:58:54 <sbp> well the Sun has a surprisingly large common readership
21:59:08 <sbp> because it's the only mainstream paper with a reading age of eight
21:59:15 <sbp> though the Metro may be supplanting it a bit now I think
21:59:21 <jessica> rather like our U.S.A. Today.

22:00:25 <jessica> Our intelligentsia read The Economist and The Christian Science Monitor (though none of us are Christian Scientists), our middlebrow people fight over the New York Times Sunday magazine, and our idiots read U.S.A. Today.
22:00:47 <sbp> which reminds me...

22:01:32 <phenny> "In World War II, the British Free Corps (BFC) or sometimes incorrectly referred to in the German form as Britisches Freikorps was a unit of the Waffen-SS consisting of British and Dominion prisoners of war who had been recruited by the Nazis." - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Britisches_Freikorps

22:02:23 <sbp> "My hobbies include leaving trails of crayons wherever Noam Chomsky gives a public lecture. To date I have placed 3,785 crayons across the globe and raised more than $7 for charity."
22:02:38 * jessica can't help but think of Xaviera Hollander's description of Germans in her brothel in 1972.
22:03:06 <jessica> "The Germans are clean enough, but downright dictatorial. One even commanded, 'You will now open the legs!'"
22:04:00 <clsn> (raising money for charity by leaving crayons?)
22:05:00 <sbp> "There are 289 species of octopus. I can, and will, name them all during the act of love."
22:07:04 * jessica raises an eyebrow at sbp. Have you read Dr. and Mrs. Haggis-on-Whey's book "Animals of the Ocean, including the Giant Squid"?
22:07:29 <sbp> no but I have seen a baby panda sneeze
22:07:34 <sbp> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Krluc-wXbOQ
22:07:45 <jessica> you really should, sbp.
22:07:59 <sbp> Dr. and Mrs.? that's stupid
22:08:04 <sbp> why didn't SHE get the doctorate?
22:08:09 <sbp> or, I am sorry, perhaps they're a lesbian couple
22:08:16 <sbp> but even in that case, the Mrs. is clearly the femme
22:08:19 <sbp> so my comment stands

22:09:42 <sbp> raegan180: Spam or No Spam?

22:10:23 <[bjoern]> Is that about digestion or intercourse? Or both?
22:10:26 <jessica> ORDER IN WHICH SQUIDS WILL EAT YOU
22:10:31 <jessica> Um, it's about the giant squid.
22:10:33 <jessica> sort of.
22:10:47 <[bjoern]> Not seeing how that is an answer.

22:11:08 <jessica> My elder daughter is getting heavily into Kafka and Nietzsche.
22:11:22 <deltab> sbp: what One Click are *you* thinking of?
22:11:30 <sbp> I'm embarassed to say, now
22:11:33 <sbp> actually I would like to set a toddler loose on Amazon
22:11:38 <sbp> just to see if you'd get a lot of Raffi back
22:11:40 <jessica> I am considering trying to find a reasonable costing Kafka: The Office writings for Yule.
22:11:57 <sbp> what would happen if you bred Raffi with Kafka?
22:12:05 <jessica> (In this episode of The Office, Tim turns into a giant insect."
22:12:56 * deltab reads about PayPhrase: http://g-ecx.images-amazon.com/images/G/01/payphrase/pph-1-2-3._V229454974_.png
22:13:00 <jessica> she's also into Kandinsky, which is weird.
22:13:03 <sbp> so I guess the lesson is the PayPhrase is a good thing

22:15:46 <jessica> This, the third of the Haggis-on-Whey books that I have read, contains many interesting facts about giant squids and other marine life such as barracudas, which not only have film directorial aspirations, but also are largely conversant in Spanish and Catalan (some also speak German.) These are facts
22:15:51 <jessica> that are hard to unearth outside the Haggis-on-Whey volumes (this is Volume 3, Number 164 of 307 in the series) which are fortunately extremely comprehensive, dealing not only with the larger marine science issues one would expect from such a volume ("The Mid-Atlantic Grey Shark's Guide to Installing
22:15:56 <jessica> Floor Tile," and "What Kind of Music Do Giant Squids Listen to While Traveling by Train?"), but also detailing related topics such as "How Recycling Works in Utah," and "How Bread is Made."

22:40:53 <jessica> this is true on both sides of the pond, by the way.
22:41:43 <jessica> but the Americans I know can do a Carnivale de Rio type constant drinking-through-the-night-but-never-drunk thing and can also do the "three glasses of wine only" thing that happens when dining with Frenchmen or Italians.
