(September 9, 19960 Player Name On For Idle Doing Desert 00:53 33s They fought like warrior-goats. Megan 08:59 35s They fought like warrior-poets 18 Players logged in. JJ Malone continues to snicker at Desert's @doing. I love late night mis-reads. Ian says "They fought like warrior-goats? Huh?" JJ Malone says "Look at Megan's @doing, Ian." Adele says "Haven't you ever seen warrior goats?" Ian fails to parse, fails to parse. Does not compute. Does not compute. You say "Geeze, and I thought I was sheltered... :)" Ian begins flailing around the Lounge like Robbie Robot. "Warning! Warning! Danger! Will! Penny! Doctor Smith!" Ian locates the humor! Ian ha! Adele snickers. Adele gives Ian the humor star of the night. Ian suspects the warrior-goats often do battle with the vicious cow orkers. Adele nods sagely. "They do indeed. Valiantly they try to defend the world against cow orkers. Alas, their successes are few." JJ Malone ork ork ork. Ian ork ork ork. Adele attacks Ian and JJ with a spear, yodeling. Ian says "Warrior-goats yodel?" Ian did not know this. JJ Malone thought they went 'Bleat', actually. Fuzz says "A common misconception." Ian says "Those are the warrior-sheep." Adele dunno, but every time she thinks of goats she thinks of that silly puppet-play in Sound of Music. Adele says "Yodelady-yodelady-yodelay-he-whoo!" Ian covers his ears and recoils in horror. JJ Malone says "No, the warrior sheep go, ahhhhBAA!" Adele finds a weapon against Ian! Yodeling warrior-goats! Ian says "Almost as terrifying as the tattooed NetCruiser virgins." JJ Malone blinks with horror. "The *what*?" Adele bursts out laughing. "Tattooed virgin warrior-goats?" Ian says "Don't ask." Adele snickers. Adele laughs so hard she coughs. The tattooed NetCruiser virgins. I'd nearly forgotten about them. Ian, against his better judgement, attempts to explain. "When I was first hired, we were talking with Byron Go who, for some reason, pronounced the word 'version' as if it were 'virgin'. We got to talking about NetCruiser versions and the differences between them, and this mutated into NetCruiser virgins, and somehow tattooing got dragged into it, and, well, there you go." JJ Malone snickers. Adele says "You were answering email and misread it because of what he'd said, I think. Someone was asking when the next Netcruiser version would be available." Adele says "And, well, with his mispronunciation..." Ian | When will the next NetCruiser virgin become available? Ian | Dear customer. She's a little tired right now, but we'll fax her out to you as soon as she's rested. Thanks, Support. Adele forcibly drags her brain away from the idea of mixing cran-grape juice and Sprite. JJ Malone says "Why? That sounds good." Adele | We're still tattooing the logo on her back. Adele says "Well, at the moment because I finished the cran-grape juice already, and if I think about it much more I shall have to go out on Quest into the Wilds of Safeway." Adele sends the warrior-goats out to canvas the place first. Adele's mind produces: We'll stay here in the jeep, while my trusty assistant Billy the warrior-goat goes in for a closer look at the vicious cran-grape. Adele is obviously tired. JJ Malone edges away from Adele. Even an ahroun has some sense about what not to be near. Kel|Jenn watches Kel's player fall down go boom. Impressive Megan and Adele. Kel| Jenn continues to watch him laugh....still going. *shakes her head* Ian has disconnected. Apogee goes home. Apogee has left. Ian has connected. Ian | When will the next NetCruiser virgin become available? Ian | Dear customer. She's a little tired right now, but we'll fax her out to you as soon as she's rested. Thanks, Support. JJ Malone begins to staple the net. Adele says "That's the last thing you saw, Ian?" Adele says "Er, no. That wouldn't have been." Adele dances in a circle widdershins around JJ, paintin herself reddish-purple (hey, if cran-grape is all you have...), shaking her spear, and yodeling. JJ Malone says "Adele, I think you need to go to bed." Adele opens her eyes wide. Adele says "Just because I'm acting insane." Kel|Jenn shakes her head as Adele does it again. There he goes...on the floor. Shameless, really. Nim says, apropos of nothing at all, "I went to Ben & Jerry's last weekend, when we were in Charleston. I asked for some strawberry ice cream and a cup of 7-Up. They concluded that I must want a float, and put both in the same cup. This was, to say the least, unexpected." JJ Malone chortles. Adele points at Kel. "See, he's amused by it!" She pauses. "Er, wait. That just means he's insane, too." Kel | Jenn nods sadly to Adele. She glances at Kel. "There he goes. AGAIN. I'm serious. You _both_ need to be in bed!!!" She whines "Nim...make him stop!!!" Adele flavors the strawberry-7-up float with cran-grape juice. "That's, er, interesting. That's obviously what I would have thought to do." Nim says "Kel, your SO thinks you need to be in bed. I see two possibilities." Nim says "Either she wants you desperately..." Nim says "...or she wants the phone line. :)" You say "Or she's afraid of the warrior-goats." Ian says "Adele. Why are you acting like an Oompa-loompa?" Kel | Jenn falls down laughing at Adele. Oh My. Kel|Jenn starts singing.."Oompa, Loompa, doompadeedoo. I have another puzzle for you... oompa Loompa Doompadeedee... Adele says "Sunspots, Ian. The sunspots have stimulated the wild cran-grape juice." Adele's trusty assistant Billy the warrior-goat has not yet returned from taking a closer look. Hrm. Ian says "Kel. Your SO is *singing* over your shoulder while you're MUSHing. This is why God invented tennis shoes. They are excellent throwing weapons." Ian says "Nerf is better, I admit, but you may not have any handy." JJ Malone makes an announcement: "Adele has been possessed by the God-Emperor of Xenu." Adele dances around Ian, singing about heffalumps and woozles and shaking her spear. Kel|Jenn joins Adele. This time SHE is dancing around Kel's inert body on the ground. Thanks Ian. Ian just watches clinically, as if he were cataloguing all of this behavior to pass along to Adele's therapist. Adele has not! She's been possessed by Winnie the Pooh, who, as we all know, is psycho. Kel | Jenn wanna be Tigger! JJ Malone looks around, and decides to hide behind the only sane one left in here, the rat. Adele starts drawing a summoning circle around Ian. In, of course, cran-grape juice. Ian says "SPEED of LIGHTNING, ROAR of THUNDER, FIGHTING all who ROB and PLUNDER..." JJ Malone says "AIGH!" Nim comments, to JJ, "We're being besieged by pop culture. I think they have us cornered." JJ Malone begins to build a wall. "They'll never take me alive!" Adele points at Nim and JJ, then waves her spear at the warrior-goats. "Attack!" Kel|Jenn snickers at JJ. NIM sane? you must be mistake. Ian says "You know what I miss? I miss The Mighty Heroes." JJ Malone says "Compared to the rest of ya? Hell right he is." Kel says "Once more, into the breach dear friends. Once more." Ian says "Strong Man, Rope Man, Tornado Man, Diaper Man, and Cuckoo Man." Nim points Adele back at Ian. "Weave a circle round him thriec, and close your eyes with holy dread, for he on honeydew hath fed, and drunk the milk of paradise." Kel|Jenn screams, "And DAN DAN THE DRY WALL MAN!!!" Adele oooohs and Nim, and dances back over to Ian. "He knows _poetry_." Adele er, oooohs at. Ian knows poetry too. Ian says "Hickory dickory dock..." Kel|Jenn snickers...impressive, yes, since he SLEPT through that class... Ian er. Nim laughs at your petty insanities! None even begin to compare to the utter lunacy that is Coleridge. Adele starts dancing around Ian thrice. "You must, for you on honeydew hath fed, and drunk the milk of paradise." JJ Malone says "Spring has sprang, the grass is riz, I wonder where, the birdies is, (Cuz they ain't here)" Nim slept through it, Jenn, but at least he remembered to turn the papers in on time :) Ian says "Twas brillig, and the slithy toves did gyre and gimble in the wabe. All mimsy were the borogroves, and the mome raths outgrabe. "Beware the Jabberwock my son, the jaws that bite, the claws that catch! Beware the Jub-Jub Bird, and shun the frumious Bandersnatch!"" Kel|Jenn looks indignant. I turned papers in on time!!! Adele sends the warrior-goats to serve in a brigade to block the Bandersnatch. Kel|Jenn looks at Nim and says with a straight face, "SPRING has Sprung." Ian says "No good. The Bandersnatch is just too frumious." Ian says "Adele, which drugs are you taking right now, and why aren't you sharing?" Kel|Jenn reads off the screen, turns, and finds Kel's player chasing the cat...yeah.....just chasing him. uh huh.... Adele switches the spear into her left hand, grabs her towel, and snaps that at the Bandersnatch. "Back, ye foul creature! Frumious tho' you be, I know where my towel is!" Nim sics his Snark on Adele. Ian says "And at 10:49 pm, PST, on Monday, September 9th, 1996, all order and sanity was lost in the GarouMUSH OOC Lounge." Adele says "Because, Ian, your spaghetti walks and you talk to squirrels. _I_ just have Winnie the Pooh and warrior-goats and towel-feairng Bandersnatches." Ian says "Hey. I only ever talked to squirrels while I was tripping on LSD." JJ Malone says "We ever had order and sanity?" Kel says "Umm, Nim. Leave your Snark out of this, or at least where the rest of us don't have to see it.;)" Ian says "And I'm not even certain that it was a real squirrel." Adele says "Your squirrels smoke cigs, too." Ian says "And the spaghetti didn't walk. It danced a herky-jerky jig. Get it right." Adele says "Oh, like that's supposed to reassure me about your sanity? :)" Ian says "You can hardly declare me insane on the basis of one bad trip." Adele drips cran-grape juice on the Snark. "Of course I can, Ian. I don't even need _that_ to declare you insane with." Ian says "I mean, if you could do that, there would be no such thing as a sane baby boomer." JJ Malone says "And especially given your own performance tonight." Adele snaps her towel and shakes her spear. "I'm perfectly sane!" Adele stuns them into silence! Nim is exporting the insanity he's collecting here ElseMUSH. You've made several people's evening a little more surreal. Adele feeds Nim some cran-grape juice with strawberry ice cream in it. Adele says "Glad to help." JJ Malone says "No. But, Ian lost connection, and with the TQ foo over, I'm about ready to finally zoom out. Whee!" Adele solemnly blesses JJ with cran-grape juice. "May the heffalumps and woozles be driven from you tonight by the warrior-goats." JJ Malone says "Errrr, right." Adele sighs. There's no more appreciation for surreality and good humor these days. Kel appreciated it. "I was rolling on the floor laughing." Adele beams and petpets Kel. JJ Malone says "Only shows how desperate you are, Kel. ;)" Nim pins a button on his chest. It reads: Welcome to the Twilight Zone. I'll be your usher. Kel says "Good, as long as ya don't baptize me in Cran-gra....Wha? Wha was that JJ?;)" Adele snaps her towel. "No, I'll just defend you from the frumious Bandersnatch." Kel peers at Adele,"Right, okay. The Dandersnatch. Ya know, that sounds vaguely, well, nevermind..." Adele *does* need sleep, though. Kel waves. "Night Adele.";) Adele goes off to sleep, singing, "Black-eyed man, I'm thirsty, dear, be a love and bring some water here, drawn fresh from the well...and make sure it's not got any strawberry ice cream in it."
