For a second, I thought you were going to mention some of the stuff that’s been going on in there… :wink:

Some drink at the fountain of knowledge…others just gargle.

Apparently Mullinator is an illegal nickname. I guess I better try to skip town before the long arm of the law makes me change it to something a little more legal.

Well, shut my mouth. It’s also illegal to put squirrels down your pants for the purposes of gambling.

I came, I saw, I couldn’t post.

I am a chat virgin. How do I make it let me talk too. You guys are having way too much fun there w/o me.

And of course the subject line should be “now EVEN crunchier”

DOH

Anyway, the “illegal name” means it was over 9 letters.

Ayesha: possibly the thing that lets you post was too far down the screen… did you scroll down?

ok, I scrolled as far down as possible, typed in the little box. Hit send, nothing.

This is all just a cruel joke to drive me crazy isn’t it !?

Wow, it’s been cool seeing so many new faces in chat! An added benefit is that it seems that those who normally can’t chat at work due to firewalls can sneak in via the non-java version. Heh.

Lemme tell ya, it was definitely crunchy!

rubes and I found each other on it - we actually spoke on the phone!

Very cool, Opal.

It is much easier to see ourselves as better than or even worse than, rather than accepting that we simply are. - John “The Penguin” Bingham

I liked it. I liked it a lot. I would recomend it to any chatter around. Thanks OpalCat

Just tried to get on a little bit ago, but had trouble loading the page.

And had I made it on, I would apparently have been Flypsy_00. Sounds like Peter Cottontail’s neurotic cousin. Sheesh. Mayhaps I’ll be simply Flyp next time.

Then he said, “That is that.”
And then he was gone.

I couldn’t seem to do it either. The page would not load… :frowning:

16

We saw you both times, Flyp, and Michelle too. You just couldn’t see us.

I love the chat. Newly addicted. I’m chatting now. Gotta go.

FOr those who this doesn’t work for, try the java applet version. It goes to the same chat room:

woo hoo! It worked! I was able to chat!

Sorry if I seem screwy when I’m on sometimes. At school, chat w/Netscape Communicator works fine, but at home, when I’m dialed into the SF Public Library system using their Lynx browser, neither method works for me. I think what happens is I can connect, see what everyone is typing, but I can’t contribute or disconnect. So it looks like I’m on but ignoring everyone, so I apologize for that. But I’ll probably be on a lot after school. See y’all then.

PS- thanks for the naked twister, guys.
