Pretty sure I and my meatflaps can make it. ---

I tried getting on a few nights ago. It took forever for Undernet to let me in, and then after about 8 minutes it kicked me out and wouldn’t let me back in… I know when I’m not wanted. ---

You shouldn’t anthropomorphize the servers. They don’t like it. ---

Can we find that guy in #pantyhackers that used to take Maeglin’s name? I can’t make it most likely but have fun! I’ll try to stop in sometime. ---

Hot damn, I had **completely** forgotten about that. Now it’s making me angry all over again and it’s been what, eight years? Nine? ---

Well I won’t need to lug the laptop around after all. Because we are nothing if not complete dorks, Demo and I just sat on the couch for 10 minutes and played around in IRC on our (Android) phones. And…it worked like a charm. So, I’ll pop in to say hi for a few minutes from whatever pub I happen to be in. And now we know we’re good for an IRC chat should the zombie apocalypse fall upon us and render our computers useless somehow. ---

Quote of the night, when I brought the above up in chat: (08:33:04 PM) Demo-: Didn’t he become a firefighter? That was probably like 17 years ago though. HAHAHAHA. Firefighter. Maeglin. HAHAHAHAHA! ---

I always forget about these things until it’s so late that it’s mostly just west coast dopers and, really, fuck them. Sigh. (Kidding, nothing but love.) ---
