Elkman: You've got some serious lag going. This is a message from the past. wow, no kidding Hello, Elkman! We, the citizens of these great United States of America, greet you from the past! GREETINGS, MR. MURRAY. THIS IS THE GHOST OF #SPINNWEBE PAST. * Elkman is now upset with AT&T. Elkman's now like one of those time capsules let's see what he brings back! ooh! word of upset with AT&T! We must know if flying cars require petrol or alcohol! You got a bone to pick with ATT, Elk? elkman: bet on the series for me? Is it true that people of your time ate flesh? the hopes and dreams off the clean-shaven white men of America go with you! of, damnit. elkum takum wampum for manhattan? when that gets to you In The Future, clean up that typo actually, the first was even funnier AT&T just switched my home phone line to a "small business" account. I got charged $36.35 for ONE CALL. dream on, dream off, same thing, spinn Shaved the dreams right off. What was it like pre-apocalypse? ooh! we're getting reports of what at&t is like In The Future what's their stock price, elk? quick! team Internet calling.... uh, hm, wait a minute have some veal and a glass of red liquid. I just realized I don't understand the temporal aspect of this conversation Oh, get with the times he's in the past, yeah hope it makes sense by the time it gets to The Future I thought Elkman is in the future? You're leaving Stan? * agt_orang gets out the venn diagrams in the future? hmm shrug. :) No, I left, but then I came back when it was Time the future is now Freshly Washed Baby is now Lathered Old Abe PJ is drawing the strip PJ's son is inking And I can' uh-oh...he's breaking up we're losing him stan, apparently you're going to leave In The Future No shit?? man, be freaky if Elk said like OH MY GOD SPINN NO And I can't seem to dial into AT&T's 800 number and get a real human on the line, either. all run by Robot-Men now, is it? In the future, humans don't answer the phone but what about the past trying to call the future? what then? (pronouned "row-but") As Bigge Rat once told me, "In the future, we will all be Xerox copies of ourselves." anyone ping him? yup... when I pinged the channel I wanna know how long it takes to get to his epoch oh jeez, i just caught on... Elk is gonna read this Wednesday morning about 8:30 Have you every called ATT and talked to an unfeeling robot? You will. still waiting for a reply * K_Man is still waiting for Elkman's ping reply. Have a feel, robot me lad YOU ARE REQUIRED TO GET OFF THE SHED! Click whirrr Robots are people too. except for Bender bzzz ping MY HAND ARE MADE OF TITANIUM! > ./dev/hand/rusty.rake > /shed/jeffy MY NAME IS ELKMAN5000 YOU GODDAMN HUMANIMAL. oh, I know, I'll print everything out and mail it to him Just make sure it's postage due Pony Express then he can type up a reply, and when I get it back, I'll transcribe it here Call him collect, see how much ATT charges him. GOD I hope he gets this eventually. he's gonna think everyone's ignoring him and disconnect We await this information from the future, Lt. Galcik. God speed. Of course, we won't know for weeks. His hand looks like it was grafted on. "Wait, was that dot-dot-dash or dot-dash-dot?" Dammit..." Comming on ZD Net TV: Earlier Edition, where a young webgeek gets tomorrows /. today and must prevent server overload! oh, yah. "Please deposit 45 EuroFrancs for the next 30 dekacrons." heheh, i don't even remember what he's talking about I doubt he does, too Still waiting for the ping. I think he's referring to the Mahir picture from earlier. oh! hah .......................(ping) I doubt he does, too It fit in so well with the robo-Cecil though Leth: Freakishly so. MY HANDS ARE GRAFTED TO WOOD. EXECUTE FEELING MOTION, HUMAN JEFFY spinnbot, will Elkman ever catch up to us? CrzyClmbr, Never. Holy shit! [Elkman PING reply]: 14mins 33secs * Leth^ is still waiting me too [Elkman PING reply]: 14mins 41secs "uncle roy" not found. (a)bort, (r)etry, (f)-f-funt! I'm getting my pings returned almost immediately. from elk, that is. i just hit him again i got my 903 second ping Wow. Bob is the link between these mangled time circuits. Bob *is* the Nexus at least on that show they give him 7 days I'm mentally lagged. Oh, shit, that puts him, what, 20 minutes back? Knew this job would pay off eventually. Being fourteen minutes in the past... can't really stop that assasination, now can you? heh, K-man, that was to you, from your comment of last Thursday on the bright side, when we're all ready to retire, he'll only have aged about two weeks ah, so he's really traveling at light speed maybe he only catches our messages as he zooms by while circling the universe "Someone will be killed by a falling piano at three twenty...ah, shit!" He's like Kazak, in Sirens of Titan Still getting my pings right back from Elk, if anyone has anything they want to say Tell him we said "Hello," and don't drink the water or the red liquid but the veal's ok tell him the missles have been launched and he has twelve minutes *** LJ-atwork has quit IRC (Read error: 131 (Connection reset by peer)) *** LJ-atwork has joined #spinnwebe Is it nice on The Other Side, J? Let's see how long it takes Elk to say "Hi, J" 14mins22sec * Elkman slaps everyone in the channel with a large codfish Will we feel that in 14 minutes, or did we feel it 14 minutes ago? We're going to ... lose him? I detect a disturbance in the force i'm still waiting for my ping me too When did the codfish go extinct? 1500s, wasn't it? *** DarthElk (tam@isis.visi.com) has joined #spinnwebe Oh, now he's his father! Bunch of clowns. and the Evil Twin Elk jumps through the dimensional rift created by the time vortex You're right, Elkman is lagged. Don't tell us, tell him, Darth [DarthElk PING reply]: 2 seconds How do you get your antlers in that black plastic mask? 17.01 minutes to elkman Crzy: With great difficulty. Now DarthElk is channeling spinnbot 17 minutes? Seriously? Yes, Darth. :) *** spinn (greg@goalie.hockey.net) has joined #spinnwebe Wow. With just two telnet windows, I can view the past AND the present. The Power of Telnet damn! I got dropped. has elk's molecules phased with this dimension yet? Had an Elksplit, spinn. * DarthElk makes a mental note not to use a horribly lagged server again. ---Time goes by (not very long, either), and the concept rolls on. Onto Part #2.---
