LIPSYNC:
Dead people don't have theorems. It's ours now.
WINOFOREVER:
That's got nothing to do with Newton. That was way
before his time. It's called the basic principle of
Mathematics. An equation with n degrees has n solutions.
CAPTAINMURPH:
Yeah ;0)
LIPSYNC:
Dead people have left everything behind.
FICKLEPHARAOH:
We stand on the shoulders of giants.
KING'SPROPHET:
Bah ... not me man ... I did it ALL by myself.
LIPSYNC:
Dead people ... we stand on dead people.
WINOFOREVER:
Basically you can convert any equation of n degrees
to the general form of (x-a)(x-b) ... (x-n)=0 and it
will have n roots.
FICKLEPHARAOH:
Ok.
CAPTAINMURPH:
We're getting to that soon ... I'm doing pre-calculus and
calculus all over again because it's been so long. Gonna
get into electronics and nanotechnology.
WINOFOREVER:
If you want more explanations from me I'd be glad to
help. But not at the moment ... send me a message next
time.
CAPTAINMURPH:
All right. Hehe.
BOOKOFCHESS:
Anyone wanna argue?
CAPTAINMURPH:
No, we like you too much.
Bits of Babel: To The Faithful Departed ...
Bits of Babel: Rolling Thunder Revue
ROLLINGTHUNDER:
Good evening Martians!
GUMBLE:
This isn't the lively place it usually is.
That's because Colorado lost.
ROLLINGTHUNDER:
The Rockies are a bunch of losers!
GUMBLE:
Boston is a group of over priced air heads!
IMMACULATELYFRIGHTFUL:
Kabooooooooooooooooom!
ROLLINGTHUNDER shouts Haha, so easy!
FIGARO:
Do students from The Experience do well here?
RAYRENO:
Most definitely, if my performance is anything
to go by.
ROLLINGTHUNDER:
RayReno for Mayor!
FIGARO:
So, it must be an effective resource for sure.
RAYRENO:
As sure as breath and taxes.
FIGARO:
Thanks.
Bits of Babel: Castles In The Sky
ROLLINGTHUNDER:
RayReno for Mayor!
RAYRENO shouts Thanks!
ROLLINGTHUNDER:
Mayor of a rundown town ... ;0)
GUMBLE shouts BARTER TOWN! Two men enter ...
IMMACULATELYFRIGHTFUL:
I am Russian and I drink
RAYRENO:
Got ulcers?
GUMBLE shouts Cold vodka NOW!
RAYRENO:
I'll give you water tonic.
ROLLINGTHUNDER:
You're the mayor, not the town bartender!
ACHINGGAIN:
To the world you are just somebody, but to
somebody you're the whole world ...
Bits of Babel: Drifting Satellite
NIMZOWITCH has arrived!
ROLLINGTHUNDER shouts So?
NIMZOWITCH:
How are things in the People's Republic Roll?
ROLLINGTHUNDER:
I don't live in Taiwan.
NIMZOWITCH shouts I meant the Mainland,
if I'd meant Taiwan I would have said
Taiwan.
GUMBLE shouts Na zdorovia.
NIMZOWITCH shouts ... tovaritch.
GUMBLE shouts For more than one?
NIMZOWITCH slides a |_|D down the bar to GUMBLE.
GUMBLE shouts Skoal for the Danish ...
ROLLINGTHUNDER shouts I told you I don't live in
Taiwan!!!
GUMBLE notes that it has ... ve-ry li-ttl-e e-fffect ...
(snore).
Bits of Babel: Annie Get Your Gun
ANNIEGETYOURGUN:
Taiwan is a repressive regime.
NIMZOWITCH shouts Taiwan is repressive?
I don't think so. How about them Commies
on the mainland?
SKONK:
The Taiwanese make good bikes.
ANNIEGETYOURGUN:
Not any better. I agree.
GUMBLE shouts They both make defective
stuff to sell to us rich Americans ...
NIMZOWITCH shouts They execute more people
every year than all other nations combined.
Also, they sample their intended prey for
organs, with the hope of capitalizing on
desperate transplant tourists. Hang, harvest,
dispatch to family. Yeah baby!
SKONK:
What defective Taiwanese stuff have you bought
lately?
NIMZOWITCH shouts Nothing. All of it is first
class.
CUBBY shouts C'mon Nitwit. We execute people
because we like to and think it's good clean
fun. We'd do it for free if we had to.
ANNIEGETYOURGUN:
It's amazing Skonk is even permitted to play
here. He has a habit of aborting games he's
losing.
CUBBY shouts Him and a few thousand others ...
if what you say about him is true.
GUMBLE shouts What country locks up more of
its people in prison than any other?
ANNIEGETYOURGUN:
Oh it's true all right, is it that bad a
problem? I'm relatively new here.
CUBBY shouts Good ole USA!
Bits of Babel: We, the People ...
ALFREDQUACKK:
Hi all!
CUBBY shouts ANNIEGETYOURGUN, there really
is no good solution to that problem. It's just part
of the virtual chess landscape.
RONJEREMIAH shouts Yes, a country that keeps
claiming to be "free."
IMMACULATELYFRIGHTFUL shouts Muhahahahaha-
hahahahaha.
ALFREDQUACKK:
Alo!?
CUBBY shouts Free for sure. No charge for your
execution, and you get a free meal to boot.
ALFREDQUACKK shouts Hello!
ANNIEGETYOURGUN:
Too bad. You would think people have some class
or honor or both.
ALFREDQUACKK:
???
COPPERWINDOW notes that RONJEREMIAH thinks NOSTORM
is voluminous ...
CUBBY shouts My idea to improve this site's cash
flow is to have live executions right here. Sort
of an iron cage match, pay per view.
READYTOROLL is here!
IMMACULATELYFRIGHTFUL:
Anna!
ALFREDQUACKK:
Wanna play?
GUMBLE shouts I like America! That does not mean that I
like all of the trade policies ... Our trade deficit is
shameful!
IMMACULATELYFRIGHTFUL:
Kabooooooooooooooooom!
So e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-e-easy!
SISTERMANUEL shouts God bless you all!
RICALCULOUS:
Need a Sugar Momma to take me all the way to the peek
of the rating mountain.
IMMACULATELYFRIGHTFUL shouts Muhahahahahaha
GUMBLE shouts IMMACULATELYFRIGHTFUL has a few less
"hahas" this time. Maybe he's not so sure?
Bits of Babel: In Medias Res
ROGERRABBIT:
How's that production coming along, Mel?
MELBEE:
It's a pain, but the footage is fantastic.
ROGERRABBIT:
When will it hit the box office?
MELBEE:
Maybe never. It's an indy project that'll
probably go straight to video, but we can
always hope.
ROGERRABBIT:
Of course!
MELBEE:
In Medias Res, for those interested.
GROOVYHUSTLER:
They're shooting an indy film down the street.
MELBEE:
Is it any good?
ROGERRABBIT:
Looks awesome!
Bits of Babel: Devious Devising
TRIXIE:
Help, I'm being abused!
POWERPUFF:
What's happening?
TRIXIE:
I keep getting abort offers from my opponent
even though I'm one move away from check-
mating him.
POWERPUFF:
Decline them.
TRIXIE:
He's now telling me I have to wait for 15 minutes
if I want to claim a win.
POWERPUFF:
Is that the amount of time left on the clock?
TRIXIE:
Yes, more or less.
POWERPUFF:
Make the move that would lead to mate and walk
away from the computer.
TRIXIE:
How do I do that, given it's his turn to play?
POWERPUFF:
I don't know what else to tell you. Which interface
do you have?
TRIXIE:
A derivative of Chess Client for a Palm Treo Phone.
DEPUTYDOGG:
Add him to your list of "players to avoid"
and then move on.
ROGERRABBIT:
That's not so easy, Deputy.
Bits of Babel: Cemetry of Mind
GROOVYHUSTLER:
There's a guy playing a game right now
whose name is "Gomakeyourself."
ROGERRABBIT gasps.
GROOVYHUSTLER:
If he can use such a handle, why can't I?
ROGERRABBIT:
Good question.
TRIXIE:
All right then, I guess I'm waiting.
GROOVYHUSTLER:
I'd get muzzled for sure, in a New York
second! That's pretty quick in case you
don't know.
ROGERRABBIT:
Yuppa Doodle! It also depends on who's
on duty and what mood they're in.
GROOVYHUSTLER:
Yeah, I'd probably cut some slack too.
ROGERRABBIT greets KINGKREOLE!
GROOVYHUSTLER:
Unless I was cranked off.
KINGKREOLE!:
Hey Roger.
GROOVYHUSTLER shouts Today I was a
spoilsport and I don't even feel bad.
That's when you know you're getting old.
Bits of Babel: Check Is In The Mail
MELBEE:
Hey KingKreole!, is it true what they were
saying about you and Angelina Jolie?
KINGKREOLE!:
Hehe.
TRIXIE:
Well, his handle is ChexxMexx if anyone wants
to know. At least I can publicly excoriate him.
TRIXIE:
CHEXXMEXX DOESN'T PLAY FAIR!
CHEXXMEXX:
Come now, I didn't do anything wrong. If it
makes you happy, I RESIGN!
MELBEE:
Please don't make public accusations of abuse.
GORGON:
Promptly take your rigmarole elsewhere!
TRIXIE:
I was just responding to ChexxMexx's private
insults. Bye ...
