[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:06:04 PM] <Shiral> We've got churros and dulce de leche today
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:06:13 PM] <Dennis> Yeah, and it's not like we're going to ask KK to log off and not come back until we get them set.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:06:32 PM] <cynicalmedic> Good here. I am back to wearing real shoes after my foot surgey.

[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:08:43 PM] <KK> What foot surgery did you have, cynicalmedic?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:08:51 PM] <Evie> I may not be here long. I may need to leave suddenly if I get a call I am expecting. I'd like to ask for prayers for those who pray and good thoughts from those who don't. I am not at liberty to share details, except that it involves a minor's safety.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:09:08 PM] <Jerusha> Oh dear
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:09:09 PM] <Dennis> Ack! Hugs, Evie!

[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:09:25 PM] <cynicalmedic> Good thoughts for all being well.

[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:09:36 PM] <KK> Prayers going up, Evie.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:09:43 PM] <Aerlys> Prayers, indeed, Evie
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:09:44 PM] <DesertRose> And hi everybody else who showed up while I wasn't paying attention.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:10:00 PM] <Evie> that would be half the room, DR.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:10:00 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, indeed, Evie.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:10:04 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, yes.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:10:25 PM] <Dennis> Not me. I'm not actually here.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:10:29 PM] <cynicalmedic> KK, I had gangrene. Ended up with four I&Ds, skin grafts, and a mess.

[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:11:41 PM] <Alkari> Hi Bee
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:11:41 PM] <Jerusha> Wow - a green Bee
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:11:46 PM] <The_Bee> How does who do what?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:11:50 PM] <Aerlys> lol. I was all ready to grab some tortilla chips
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:11:53 PM] <Jemler> hi bee
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:12:16 PM] <KK> She got gangrene in her foot.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:12:18 PM] <The_Bee> Hi all!
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:12:27 PM] <cynicalmedic> I had a blister that popped - then dried. I caught the dry area on the carpet, and tore it open. I woke up one day with my foot the size of Belgium, and really weird colors.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:12:28 PM] <DomMelchior> Hi Bee
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:12:49 PM] <The_Bee> Hi everone

[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:13:00 PM] <Shiral> Belgium, that's a hard shoe size to find
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:13:01 PM] <Alkari> Yikes, CM - that was a fast infection
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:13:02 PM] <Aerlys> wow, one never can tell...
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:13:03 PM] <laurna> Yikes
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:13:13 PM] <Evie> wow
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:13:14 PM] <DesertRose> That's all kinds of ungood, cynicalmedic.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:13:26 PM] <Jerusha> All is OK now, CM?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:13:26 PM] <KK> Good Lord, who would have thought that a blister oculd lead to that?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:13:26 PM] <cynicalmedic> I was in the hospital from June 28th to August 10th.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:13:57 PM] * Shiral grabs both feet and winces in sympathetic pain
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:13:58 PM] <KK> WHere on your foot was this blister?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:14:03 PM] <Dennis> That's awful.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:14:08 PM] <The_Bee> not fun. I hope I won't be THAt long. I'm going in for hip replacement surgery tomorrow.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:14:10 PM] <Evie> My carpet is in such sad shape, I'm half afraid if that happened to me, the gangrene would set in half a day before the actual injury! :-(
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:14:14 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, wow, Bee.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:14:19 PM] <Alkari> Oh, Hugs to Bee
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:14:31 PM] <cynicalmedic> Yes. It's healed now. It was on the hallux - right under my big toe.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:14:37 PM] <Jerusha> Good luck, Bee - hope all goes we
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:14:38 PM] <Evie> Wishing you a quick recovery, Bee
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:14:39 PM] <DesertRose> Do you want prayers and good thoughts, Bee?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:14:43 PM] <Jerusha> well, I meant
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:14:51 PM] <DomMelchior> Holding good thoughts for ya, Bee
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:14:53 PM] <The_Bee> woodgies are aalways welcome.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:14:57 PM] <DesertRose> Okay.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:14:58 PM] <Shiral> The recovery is hard Bee, but the end results will be worth it
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:14:59 PM] <laurna> Bee!! wishing you good thoughts I will remember this tomorrow
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:15:11 PM] <Alkari> Send for a Deryni Healers!

[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:15:53 PM] <Dennis> Yes. Good wishes for an easy surgery and a quick and complication-free recovery.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:15:58 PM] <Aerlys> ((hugs)) Bee
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:16:02 PM] <Alkari> Friend had her hip done last year and says she feels great now. The only thing she has had to do is get a new sofa which is slightly higher so she can get up from it more easily
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:16:05 PM] <The_Bee> Are you speaking from experience , Shiral? And thanks for the good wishes, everyone.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:16:21 PM] <laurna> Be sure to tell DR how you are doing so we know all is well
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:16:32 PM] <Jerusha> Yes
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:16:44 PM] <Shiral> No, but my brother had a hip replaced a few years ago. And my mother had both knees replaced. Said that if she had THREE legs, she'd skip the third knee replacement
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:17:13 PM] <The_Bee> My brother says he's thinking about knee surgery.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:17:13 PM] <Jerusha> Ouch
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:17:17 PM] <Aerlys> knee replacements always seem harder to recover
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:17:19 PM] <Shiral> Both of them feel that the surgery was well worth it in terms of their present mobility and lack of pain
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:17:20 PM] <Alkari> Ive heard that hip replacements are 'easire' than knees
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:17:28 PM] <Jemler> a friend of mine had knee surgery. i asked her why she needed three knees.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:17:32 PM] <DesertRose> Joint replacement technology is better than it used to be, but please do obey your doctor and do your physical therapy.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:17:49 PM] <DesertRose> The physical therapy makes a huge difference in the recovery process as a general rule.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:18:06 PM] <Alkari> LOL. Agree with that - my friend
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:18:10 PM] <Alkari> friend
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:18:11 PM] <The_Bee> I'm hopong I'll be able to recover at home, so I can take care of Melantha.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:18:11 PM] <KK> Yep, doing the physio after is Very Important!
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:18:16 PM] <Aerlys> The PY's I've known are pretty amazinb
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:18:32 PM] <Aerlys> PT's. amazing..
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:18:34 PM] <Alkari> friend's sister is a physiotherapist so she had no choice about the exercises!
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:18:45 PM] <cynicalmedic> Physical therapists are great. My therapist was a character.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:18:51 PM] <DesertRose> I had to have my left knee worked on when I was in my early 20s, and I didn't get to finish the postop physical therapy because I fell off my parents' health insurance. It's never really been right, and I swear it's because I couldn't finish the PT.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:18:59 PM] <The_Bee> My siter is a retired PT. She may come down Wednesday.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:19:04 PM] <The_Bee> sister
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:19:17 PM] <Aerlys> Last one I had lloked like Gary Sinise
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:19:24 PM] <Alkari> Thepost-surgery exercises are always really, really important.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:19:24 PM] <DesertRose> I'm doing PT now for my left shoulder, and I love my physical therapist. She's really cool.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:19:29 PM] <Jemler> i thought you were a little old to have a sitter.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:19:32 PM] <Shiral> That should be motivational, Aerlys. =o)
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:19:41 PM] <laurna> I'm a glad you have your sister comming that will be good
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:19:54 PM] <DesertRose> It'll be nice to have your sister around just for company, too, I should think, Bee.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:19:58 PM] <Evie> Ow! Luke has decided that the shortest distance between both arms of my chair is across my breasts, so he has decided to walk across them. Three times. While I was attempting to follow chat. He's not see-through, and it feels like I've been trampled by an elephant.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:20:01 PM] <Jemler> it's snowing here in ohio.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:20:09 PM] <DesertRose> Ow, Evie.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:20:18 PM] <Alkari> My physio put me in traction last week for my hip problem As she trussed me up, I felt like one of those medieval torture scenes
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:20:19 PM] <KK> Ouch!
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:20:20 PM] <DesertRose> It's been a gorgeous day in Florida.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:20:21 PM] <Jemler> NC.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:20:42 PM] <DesertRose> It was in the mid 60s (F) during the day and bright and sunny.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:20:43 PM] <cynicalmedic> It looks like it's going to be a big storm north of here.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:20:47 PM] <The_Bee> We're expecting a blizzard Monday evening/Tuesday
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:20:50 PM] <Shiral> yesterday I was in traffic behind another driver who had to contemplate the meaning of green traffic lights before he started moving. And I sighed "Dmitri MOVE!" at him
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:20:51 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, I've heard that.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:20:53 PM] <DomMelchior> It's clouding up here in so. Cal
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:21:00 PM] <Jerusha> It's going down to -20C tonight
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:21:01 PM] <Aerlys> just preparing you for your next mammogram, Evie
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:21:01 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, Shiral.

[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:21:06 PM] <Shiral> Life is strange when you address other drivers by your cat's name!
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:21:17 PM] <Evie> LOL
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:21:20 PM] <Alkari> This is the first vaguely cool day we have had for weeks. I am sitting here with balcony doors wide open and every window in the flat open too
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:21:27 PM] <Dennis> Last I checked, we're getting 2 feet. Fun, fun.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:21:29 PM] <The_Bee> Is Dmitri like that?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:21:33 PM] <Shiral> Yes

[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:22:06 PM] <Shiral> He thinks his middle name is "Move!"
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:22:24 PM] <Aerlys> I knew an old lady who named her dog Dammit...
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:22:27 PM] <Dennis> Well, that was the last time I checked. By tomorrow the forecast may be for battling ice giants and the Trump of Doom.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:22:28 PM] <Jerusha>
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:22:37 PM] <cynicalmedic> I have a dog like that. Thankful, she's small.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:22:48 PM] <Jemler> remember the disney movie "That Darned Cat"?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:22:50 PM] <Dennis> Missy-cat says, "Meow."
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:22:54 PM] <DesertRose> There was that Disney movie about "That Darn Cat," where it was alluded to that the cats name was actually Damn Cat.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:22:55 PM] <cynicalmedic> Thankfully, rather.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:22:58 PM] <Aerlys> No, that really was the dog's name
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:22:59 PM] <Jerusha> Yes, Jemler, I remember
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:22:59 PM] <DesertRose> Hi Missy Cat.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:23:11 PM] <The_Bee> I liked the book better than the movie.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:23:23 PM] <EPCarpHatesMibbet> Ice Giants... fodder for a chapter or two!
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:23:31 PM] <Aerlys> books are almost always better
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:23:53 PM] <Dennis> Which book? That Darn Cat?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:23:56 PM] <Dennis> Now I'm confused.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:23:59 PM] <Alkari> I'm old fashioned - I like turning real pages
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:23:59 PM] <Shiral> So I hope all of your joints are behaving well, KK
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:24:08 PM] <The_Bee> Damn Cat was the book, IIRC.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:24:10 PM] <KK> We're to get snow, but not until tomorrow. And I think Bee's area will get much more than we will.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:24:12 PM] <DesertRose> *cat's name
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:24:14 PM] <cynicalmedic> My mother had a three legged cat that the shelter had called Purina. Based on her first act at their house, my dad called her Sh*tty Kitty.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:24:19 PM] <Dennis> Also, speaking of books, before we get lost completely, any book news KK?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:24:39 PM] <DesertRose> cynicalmedic: I really should fuss at you for bad language, but that's hilarious.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:24:45 PM] <Imladris> <baqck>
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:25:01 PM] <DesertRose> I call my parents' younger cat (whose name is actually Merlin) You Little S---.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:25:13 PM] <Shiral> Well, she DID use the Askerisk, DR. =o)
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:25:16 PM] <DesertRose> Yes, she did.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:25:27 PM] <Shiral> Asterix, I mean.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:25:32 PM] <Shiral> Rented fingers
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:25:37 PM] <DesertRose> Asterisk
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:25:52 PM] <Evie> No, asterisk is correct. with an x, it's the comic book character
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:26:06 PM] <Aerlys> I had a rabbit when I was about 3 or 4. He got out of his hutch and into our garden, causing my father to use some rather colorful metaphors. The next day, the rabbit got out again, and I called out, "Daddy, Sonny the B***** is in the garden again."
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:26:19 PM] <KK> No new book news. We were away last weekend for Marscon, and I'm trying to get the figures together to have taxes done. (It <is> that time of year.)
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:26:22 PM] <Evie> lol
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:26:23 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, Aerlys.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:26:23 PM] <The_Bee> anyone recall a comic strip caleddOmnerix and Asterix? about a pair of Gauls in Roman times.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:26:32 PM] <Jemler> Marscon?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:26:43 PM] <Shiral> I just have a lot of Gaul
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:26:51 PM] <KK> It was in Williamsburg. And I've been invited back for next year.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:26:52 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, I've got to get mine done because they're complicated this year.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:26:55 PM] <DomMelchior> When he was a puppy we called Rory Surefoot Fuzzbutt, 'cause he was always stepping on our feet and sticking his tail in our faces
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:26:57 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, cool, KK.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:27:14 PM] <KK> <Very> good con.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:27:18 PM] <Aerlys> Every month is tax time here {(
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:27:23 PM] <Jerusha> Taxes are not cool, DR.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:27:26 PM] <Dennis> I had a very adversarial relationship with a friend's cat. Whenever I went to visit, Allegra, who was the most misnamed cat ever, would claw the daylights out of me. So when she finally shuffled off this mortal coil at a respectable 16, I peed on her grave.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:27:27 PM] <Evie> oh good, KK!
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:27:32 PM] <DesertRose> I had a friend who had a cat who, as soon as she got him, had to have surgery somewhere on his back end and had his hindquarters shaved, so she called him Fuzzbob Nopants.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:27:33 PM] <Dennis> Very mature <-- Me
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:27:55 PM] <Dennis> That sounds awesome, KK.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:27:56 PM] <EPCarpHatesMibbet> Ah, yes, the Court of Assizes that meets on 15 April every year... Bring your sack of grain to pay the Duke.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:28:06 PM] <DesertRose> Yup, EPCarpHatesMibbet.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:28:17 PM] <Evie> which con was it? DH and I want to make it to Colonial Williamsburg someday, so maybe we can time our vacation to coincide with the local con.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:28:20 PM] <DesertRose> BRB, I need more tea.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:28:33 PM] <Jerusha> I love Williamsburg
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:28:35 PM] <Shiral> Well if the Duchess insists on upsetting the counting cloth, the Duke may not remember exactly what you owe. =o)
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:28:57 PM] <Jerusha> One can but hope, Shiral
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:29:13 PM] <EPCarpHatesMibbet> They make up a number, and it's never a good one. Don't upset the cloth.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:29:14 PM] Quit The_Bee has left this server (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client).
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:29:14 PM] <cynicalmedic> I haven't been to Williamsburg in a long time.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:29:35 PM] <Dennis> For most of us, the Duchess better bloody well keep her hands off the cloth, since we've already paid and we're actually getting some back.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:29:48 PM] <Shiral> I'd love to go to Williamsburg, but have never made it yet
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:30:10 PM] <Aerlys> The Mythicsworlds con is coming up here, but I don't think I'll be able to go this time around
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:30:33 PM] <Dennis> Arisia was last weekend here,but I had work to do all weeked.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:30:36 PM] <Shiral> Did you have a favorite/interesting panel at Marscon, KK?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:30:47 PM] Join mr_wibble has joined this channel (Mibbit@OWIRCN-3f0e1b8a.ma.comcast.net).
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:30:55 PM] <Jerusha> Rehi, B ee
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:30:56 PM] <Aerlys> rehi Bee
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:31:01 PM] <Evie> wb
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:31:06 PM] Nick mr_wibble is now known as The_Bee.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:31:19 PM] <The_Bee> My puter demanded a reboot.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:31:21 PM] <Dennis> Hi, again, Bee!
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:31:22 PM] <Alkari> re-hi Bee
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:31:29 PM] <Shiral> Hello again, Bee
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:31:34 PM] <Evie> weather has turned interesting outside, but no tornado alarms, so I'm just unplugging the laptop
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:31:42 PM] <Imladris> DR, what part of Florida
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:31:53 PM] <KK> I liked the one on writing in colonial background. And David Weber was one of the other GOH's, so we hung out a lot. I owe him a story in the HOnorverse.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:31:57 PM] <The_Bee> This is my new computer. I'm not sure if it's any better than my old one.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:32:00 PM] <Evie> If I disappear abruptly, though, either large hail is falling, I got that call, or both
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:32:02 PM] <DesertRose> Jacksonville.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:32:17 PM] <Dennis> Ooh, that'll be very cool.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:32:21 PM] <The_Bee> What did I miss?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:32:23 PM] <Jerusha> A Deryni story, KK?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:32:31 PM] <Imladris> <<space court.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:32:34 PM] <Imladris> coast
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:32:42 PM] <DesertRose> Oh, so we're not far from each other, really, then.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:32:42 PM] <The_Bee> Marscon sounds like a convention on Mars.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:32:49 PM] <KK> No, one in the Honorverse--probably involving Treecats.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:32:52 PM] <Evie> An Honorverse story? Cool!
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:32:58 PM] <Shiral> Expensive to get do, I'd think
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:33:00 PM] <Jemler> Beam me up, Scotty!
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:33:05 PM] <The_Bee> I don't know Homorverse.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:33:23 PM] <The_Bee> honorverse
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:33:27 PM] <Shiral> I don't know it, either, but Treecats sounds kind of like Ent-cats. =o)
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:33:35 PM] <Dennis> I did not think of that, but that makes so much sense, KK. Do the treecats remind you of the Legacy of Lehr at all?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:33:36 PM] <Evie> Military SF, Bee. Very good series. Think of Horatio Hornblower in space, only if Horatio were a woman
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:34:00 PM] <Aerlys> I vaguely remember you mentioning Treecats, KK, though I might be thinking of something else
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:34:01 PM] <Dennis> And spent a third of every book describing military ordinance.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:34:03 PM] <Shiral> So...how would tree cats fit into space?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:34:14 PM] <DomMelchior> I like Weber's work, although I'm slightly more partial to his Safehold series than his current Honorers work
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:34:29 PM] <KK> No, but I love Weber's Honor Harrington universe. Military SF, with a female protagonist. There are many books, and I love them all.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:34:39 PM] <Evie> they are telepathic, Shiral. Imagine furry feline firelizards
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:34:59 PM] <Shiral> Great, now I want one!
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:35:14 PM] <Jerusha> Coughing up a hairball could be interesting....
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:35:14 PM] <DesertRose> I'm not sure I'd want a telepathic cat.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:35:22 PM] <Evie> Well, more empathic. No verbal communication that I recall, but emotionally telepathic at least
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:35:40 PM] <KK> Treecats are the sentient species on one of the planets, and they sometimes bond with humans. They're telepathic within their own species, but the humans gradually discover just how intelligent they are, even though they've never developed speech. Sign language proves to be the breakthrough for communication.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:35:41 PM] <DesertRose> Interesting.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:35:51 PM] <DesertRose> Ah, okay.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:36:04 PM] <Dennis> What KK said.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:36:05 PM] <The_Bee> I read a short story years ago about human and cats who teamed up telepathically to fight space dragons. "The Game of Cat and Dragon."
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:36:06 PM] <KK> THey're empathic, too.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:36:09 PM] <Alkari> sounds interesting
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:36:51 PM] <Evie> It's been years since I read his books. I got a fair way into the series, though. One of those series Baen Books got me hooked on by offering the first for free and then making me pay for the rest. ;-)
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:36:54 PM] <KK> The first book in the series is "On Basilisk Station,."
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:37:23 PM] <KK> The Honor of the Queen is next.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:37:41 PM] <Dennis> And then The Short Victorious War.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:38:28 PM] <Dennis> There are some things about the Honorverse that I like very much, and some things that annoy me to no end.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:38:35 PM] <The_Bee> Is that David Weber?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:38:40 PM] <Evie> I got hooked on Lois Bujold's Vorkosigan books the same way, although Baen was even more cruel with those. They posted 9 or 10 chapters of "A Civil Campaign," including one of the funniest chapters I have ever read in a book before or since, and then made me pay for the book to read the rest. And once I finished that book, I had to go find all the preceding books in the series.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:39:08 PM] <Shiral> Cruel maybe, but very strategic
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:39:12 PM] <KK> Love that series, too.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:39:31 PM] <Evie> Oh yes. I tend to laugh hysterically when I hear the words "free book" now. :-D
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:39:34 PM] <Dennis> Yes, Bee. Honorverse is David Webber.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:39:58 PM] <Evie> Weber, one b
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:40:09 PM] <Jemler> who wrote the Myth series, like Mythic Inc
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:40:17 PM] <Alkari> Will go chase up the books. My brother may have them in his stash.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:40:17 PM] <Dennis> I knew that.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:40:18 PM] <Evie> Robert Asprin
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:40:23 PM] <KK> Robert Asprin.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:40:25 PM] <Dennis> And I love, love, love the Vorkosigan books. I met Lois Bujold at a booksigning, and she was awesome.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:40:28 PM] <The_Bee> Tne name sounds familiar. What else has he written?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:40:33 PM] <KK> And then Jody Lynn Nye.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:40:45 PM] <EPCarpHatesMibbet> Been partial to C.J. Cherryh myself.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:41:02 PM] <Dennis> He edited the Thieves World series, wrote a book with George Takei, and also did the Phule's Company books.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:41:09 PM] <cynicalmedic> The Kindle Unlimited program works well. It is 10.00 a month, and you can have ten books at once. I made serious inroads into their library when I was laid up.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:41:13 PM] <Jemler> i'm re-reading The Wheel of Time
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:41:14 PM] <Evie> Bujold is another author who is very personable with her fans, and allows fan fiction in her universe
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:41:21 PM] <DesertRose> I've been on an Alison Weir kick myself lately. She writes biographies mostly but has written some historical novels as well.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:41:38 PM] <Imladris> jody lynn nye I recall
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:41:39 PM] <KK> For military SF, I also like Jack Campbel's Lost Fleet series. He also did 4 or 5 JAG in Space books under a different name.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:41:43 PM] <Dennis> So you should finish about 2017, Jemler?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:41:44 PM] <DesertRose> I'm currently re-reading her biography of Eleanor of Aquitaine.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:41:51 PM] <Evie> I once sent her a fan email to thank her for writing her books, not expecting any answer, and she replied within minutes.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:41:54 PM] <The_Bee> I'm readingpart 2 of a Terry Brooks trilogy right now.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:42:00 PM] <Jemler> the way i'm reading, 2020.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:42:05 PM] <cynicalmedic> I am going back through Sharon McCrumb's Ballad series.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:42:06 PM] <DesertRose> LOL, Jemler.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:42:08 PM] <Dennis> Heh.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:42:10 PM] <Jemler> Elfstones?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:42:14 PM] <Imladris> loved the landover books
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:42:18 PM] <DomMelchior> I just finished the third book in John V. Hines' Libromancer series. Very fun
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:42:32 PM] <The_Bee> me too, Imladris
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:42:38 PM] <Evie> That title sounds interesting, DM. What are they about?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:42:41 PM] <Dennis> I made the mistake of starting an urban-fantasy noir right after finishing Farewell, My Lovely by Raymond Chandler.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:42:42 PM] <Jemler> Shannara is coming to HBO.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:42:43 PM] <DomMelchior> Sorry. John C. Hines.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:43:17 PM] <Aerlys> Seriusly, Jemler?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:43:24 PM] <Alkari> Not sure that would match up to Chandler, Dennis!
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:43:27 PM] <Dennis> DM, It's Jim C. Hines. And I have the first one in my to read pile. I liked his Princess books.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:43:34 PM] <Jemler> i've seen idt several times on fb.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:43:41 PM] <Imladris> KK, you ever read the memoirs of John S. Mosby, from up near where you live now?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:43:41 PM] <Jemler> brb
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:43:42 PM] <DomMelchior> A modern era magic secret society founded by the great wizard, Gutenberg
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:43:57 PM] <Dennis> It didn't, Alkari. It so didn't. I might have enjoyed it if I hadn't just finished the Chandler.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:44:03 PM] <KK> Try A Discover of Witches, by Deborah Harkness. Very good!
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:44:15 PM] <DomMelchior> Yes, I agree Dennis, they were a hoot too
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:44:16 PM] <Dennis> The worst part was that it was aping Chandler, and copying only the bad parts.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:44:17 PM] <Aerlys> Enjoyed Sword, hated Elfsrones, and eventually lost steam in the series after a few more books. Loved Landover, though
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:44:22 PM] <Alkari> I re-read Chandler last year - had forgotten what a great writer he was
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:44:31 PM] <The_Bee> I think I read that one, KK. and the sequel
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:44:39 PM] <Jemler> https://www.facebook.com/officialterrybrooks?ref=br_tf
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:44:52 PM] <KK> I found the first one at Costco, of all places. Am reading the second one now.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:45:08 PM] <Alkari> Oh, I enjoyed that one too KK
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:45:08 PM] <Dennis> I hadn't read him before, Alkari, but I saw The Big Sleep many years ago.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:45:18 PM] <cynicalmedic> I also rea d Good Omens once a year, just for the giggle factor.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:45:36 PM] <Shiral> I love Neil Gaiman
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:45:44 PM] <Dennis> Actually, my fiancee is reading David Weber right now. A standalone. In Fury Born, I think.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:45:47 PM] <DomMelchior> CM, I just read that for the first time last month. Great fun
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:45:55 PM] <EPCarpHatesMibbet> Been mulling over a noir set in my hometown- A new look at a series of murders in the late 1930's that the local PD was reputed to have beaten a confession out of a suspect to solve while someone with money and connections walked away free...
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:45:58 PM] <Dennis> Good Omens is wonderful.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:45:58 PM] <The_Bee> Terry Pratchett's another fave.

[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:46:17 PM] <The_Bee> Hi Elim
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:46:21 PM] <Alkari> This Chat has given me a lot of new books and authors to chase up - have been muchmore into crime fiction recently
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:46:24 PM] <Aerlys> hi elim
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:46:26 PM] <Jerusha> Hi Elim
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:47:24 PM] <Shiral> Really enjoyed Gaiman's _American Gods_. The more you know about mythology, the more fun it is
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:47:26 PM] <Aerlys> I'm too ensconced in books on ASD's right now, though I am in serious need of brain candy
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:47:26 PM] <Dennis> I read the Cadfael's a couple of summers back, Alkari. Medieval monk solves murders.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:47:45 PM] <The_Bee> I loved those!
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:47:54 PM] <Imladris> they were fun, dennis.. got one.. and eventually ebayed then all
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:48:00 PM] <Dennis> And I misused an apostrophe. *sigh*
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:48:04 PM] <Jerusha> I love Cadfael. And Dame Frevisse
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:48:11 PM] <Aerlys> The Name of the Rose. Love it
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:48:25 PM] <Shiral> Cadfael is a great character. Did not love the TV versions of Ellis Peters' books nearly as much, though
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:48:31 PM] <Dennis> Plus, the first two books have the two best murder mystery titles ever: A MORBID TASTE FOR BONES, and ONE CORPSE TOO MANY.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:48:31 PM] <Alkari> Oh, read Ellis Peters years ago - loved those.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:48:36 PM] <Jemler> there are a slew of shannara books. i'll have to find them all.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:48:37 PM] <cynicalmedic> Patricia Morrison's rock and roll mysteries are fun - the first is called "Go Ask Malice".
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:48:45 PM] <Evie> back. I like Gaiman too, as well as Cadfael and Dame Frevisse
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:48:46 PM] <Dennis> But it had Sir Derek Jacobi!

[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:49:08 PM] <Alkari> Don't really like Pratchett though - just can't get into his books, for some reason
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:49:10 PM] <Shiral> And he made a very good Cadfael. But I was not entranced by the adaptations
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:49:20 PM] <The_Bee> Have you read Ellis Peter' other series, about Inspector George Felse?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:49:29 PM] <Jerusha> And were fairly true to the stories - but I did not like the replacement Hugh Berringer
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:49:48 PM] <Alkari> Yes - but not favorites
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:49:50 PM] <Shiral> I read _Funeral of Figaro_ a few years ago. I think that was a stand alone though
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:49:56 PM] <The_Bee> I don't like the guy who play Berringer on PBS.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:50:08 PM] <Shiral> Me neither
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:50:27 PM] <cynicalmedic> I tried to each the DI Banks series, but I didn't like it. The books are better.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:50:33 PM] <Shiral> I watched Grantchester last week after Downton Abbey. I liked it, and I have hopes fo it
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:50:34 PM] <Imladris> The Cadfael books did a good job getting me to look into an area of English History that I really didn't know well. Empress Maud and such
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:50:35 PM] <Shiral> for it
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:50:53 PM] <Shiral> Empress Maud reminded me a bit of Caitrin Quinnell
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:50:54 PM] <cynicalmedic> Watch, rather
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:50:56 PM] <Jerusha> I want to catch Grantchester tonight
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:50:58 PM] <The_Bee> The book's Hugh was a much smarter man, IMHO he lacked only Cadfael;s experience to be CAdfael's match.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:51:08 PM] <Evie> Oh, that reminds me... (not liking the guy who plays a character, that is)... KK, do you get to have any say at all in who narrates your audiobooks? If so, is there any way to have them change readers when the Camber series is made into audiobook?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:51:09 PM] <Jerusha> I agree, Bee
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:51:11 PM] <KK> I, too, have never been able to get into Pratchett.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:51:17 PM] <Jemler> here is a link for Terry Brooks on FB: https://www.facebook.com/officialterrybrooks?ref=br_tf
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:51:22 PM] <Dennis> Yes, except if Cate Quinnel was going up against Imre.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:51:34 PM] <DomMelchior> I gotta go feed the pup. Have a nice week everyone, and Bee--good luck at that hip joint :-)
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:51:40 PM] <Alkari> Am currently tracking down the Canadian crime series by Louise Penny, with her Chief Inspector Gamache
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:51:41 PM] <KK> No say whatsoever, Evie.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:51:41 PM] <Shiral> Night, Dom
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:51:44 PM] <DesertRose> Okay, DomMelchior. Have a good week.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:51:45 PM] <Jemler> nite dm

[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:52:02 PM] <The_Bee> thanks, Dpm Good nighdt and skritch the dog.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:52:06 PM] <Jerusha> Night, DM. Pet the pup, too
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:52:25 PM] <DesertRose> Chief Inspector Gamache's name makes me think of chocolate.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:52:27 PM] <Alkari> Bye DM
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:52:36 PM] <Alkari> She is a good writer
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:52:37 PM] <Jerusha> I agree, DR
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:52:37 PM] <EPCarpHatesMibbet> GNight DM
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:52:38 PM] <Shiral> I thought the Mystery series on Sherlock Holmes was very good--because Watson was not played as a dolt
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:52:44 PM] <Dennis> Or actually if Caitrin was going up against Conall.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:52:45 PM] <Aerlys> mmm, chocolate
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:53:03 PM] <Alkari> I enjoy the modern Sherlock with Cumberbatch and Freeman
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:53:08 PM] <DesertRose> I want to read the Phryne Fisher series, but haven't gotten around to finding them. I've seen a few of the TV adaptation episodes.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:53:15 PM] <Imladris> yes.. loved Jeremy Brett as sherlock
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:53:15 PM] <cynicalmedic> Sons of Liberty starts tonight, too.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:53:19 PM] <Evie> Well, if they are willing to listen to reader feedback, tell them that the husband of one of your chat regulars walked into a room where the first paragraphs of TKD were playing, and without any knowledge at all of which book it was or who it was written by, he said, "Good Lord, what poor book is that narrator utterly butchering!" :-(
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:53:22 PM] <Alkari> Very clever and intelligent adaptations
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:53:23 PM] <Jerusha> I like Freeman as Watson
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:53:32 PM] <Jemler> once on hbo i saw frank langella as holmes.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:53:37 PM] <The_Bee> The Nigel Bruceportrayal of Dr. WAtson seemed to imply that only an idiot could be less intelligent than Holmes.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:53:41 PM] <Alkari> Me too Jerusha
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:53:58 PM] <Dennis> That's the Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes. I liked the David Suchet Poirot as well, and Hugh Fraser did a great job as Hastings.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:54:07 PM] <Dennis> Even though Hastings was an idiot.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:54:07 PM] <Alkari> Agree Dennis
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:54:14 PM] <Evie> I'll buy them regardless of who narrates, but I am very worried that the reader will be offputting for people who haven't read your books in print.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:54:16 PM] <Aerlys> just got that Poirot set for Christmas
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:54:29 PM] <Alkari> Have been watching all the replays on cable
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:54:30 PM] <DesertRose> BRB, I need to close my windows. It was warm while the sun was up, but it's cooling off a good bit now the sun's good and down for the night.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:54:40 PM] <Alkari> And the Miss Marple ones
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:54:44 PM] <cynicalmedic> There was a great special on PBS with David Suchet discussing playing Poirot.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:55:12 PM] <Aerlys> I think he was the best Poirot I'd seen
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:55:28 PM] <Shiral> Funny, I could never get into Poirot, the same way some of you can't get into Pratchett
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:55:28 PM] <Alkari> Yes, that was interesting. And the program on Suchet tracing his family tree - forget the name of the series
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:55:29 PM] <Imladris> DR, the pollen counts are too high to have window's open
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:55:34 PM] <The_Bee> PBS gave one of the Miss Marple stories to Poirot. I forget which one.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:55:41 PM] <Shiral> But I'm very fond of Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:55:50 PM] <Alkari> Oh yes Shiral!!
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:55:58 PM] <Aerlys> Definitely!
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:56:10 PM] <Shiral> Especially when Harriet is played by Harriet Walter
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:56:11 PM] <Alkari> I keep thinking who I would like to see play Lord Peter
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:56:25 PM] <cynicalmedic> I liked Campion, too - and Josephine Tey's Alan Grant.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:56:40 PM] <DesertRose> Yeah, probably not a good idea for my sinuses but the weather was so nice that I couldn't resist opening the house at least for a few hours.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:56:43 PM] <Alkari> YAY for Josephine Tey!!
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:56:44 PM] <The_Bee> I don't like it when PBS inserts Marple or Poirot into stories where Christie didn't put them.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:56:44 PM] <Dennis> I'd like to see the Margaret Rutherford Miss Marple movies, even though the character she plays has about as much to do with Miss Marple as tiddly winks has to do with ice hokcy.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:56:59 PM] <Aerlys> Anyone here watch the adapatarion of Dirk Gently?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:57:04 PM] <The_Bee> Josephine Tey died too young.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:57:10 PM] <Dennis> I only read the Daughter of Time by Tey, because it matched nicely with my prejudices.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:57:15 PM] <Alkari> I think Geraldine McEwan is a better Miss Marple
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:57:18 PM] <KK> Edward Petherbridge was a great Lord Peter. We saw him playing that role in London, in Busman's Honeymoon.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:57:32 PM] <Dennis> On stage, KK?
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:57:37 PM] <Alkari> Daughter of Time is fascinating
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:57:39 PM] <Dennis> Because that would be awesome.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:57:40 PM] <Shiral> THAT'S his name. Thanks KK, I was trying to remember him
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:57:46 PM] <cynicalmedic> Mine, too, Dennis.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:57:48 PM] <KK> Yes, Dennis.
[Sunday, January 25, 2015] [07:57:59 PM] <Dennis> Wow. That must have been amazing.
