#750: “To be a Barfly on that wall...”

*** Now talking in #suburbansenshi
Topic is -= Congrats to the contest Winner, M. Kerr! =-

[01:56] <=^catablanca^=> But she found the roach in the baked beans.
[01:56] <// J_Daito //> Bah, so? I would have put on there myself
[01:56] <GERMATOID> YOU KNOW THE FOOD COMPANIES ACTUALLY HAVE CSI TYPES WHO WILL POST MORTEM THOSE THINGS TO BE SURE THEY DIED IN THE CAN AND NOT AFTER HAVING BEEN PUT IN THERE
[01:57] <// J_Daito //> so then I open the can, put a roach in a jar, empty the contents of the can into the jar, wait for it to suffocate and replace the contents
[01:57] <GERMATOID> WHAT ABOUT THE TRACE ELEMENTS FROM THE JAR
[01:58] <// J_Daito //> I'd sterilize the jar.
[02:06] * C'est_la_V and X-chan are listening to the neat CD collection Michiru-san got them for their 4th wedding anniversary "The Best of James Bond - 30th Anniversary Collection"
[02:06] <=^catablanca^=> An anniversary is once a *year* not once a month ><
[02:06] * C'est_la_V is away: anniversary ^_^
[02:07] * FireFly_9 is pondering
[02:08] <// J_Daito //> What are you thinking about
[02:08] <FireFly_9> I heard this sentiment. Someone expressed it the other day.
[02:09] <FireFly_9> Imagine a person. An adult. All the experiences and interactions that have gone into bringing that person up from the infant they started as to the person they are now.
[02:09] * C'est_la_V is listening to: Louis Armstrong - We Have All The Time In The World.mp3 [128 kbps]
[02:11] <FireFly_9> All the love, attention and care that went from parents or guardians to that child...
[02:11] <FireFly_9> All the food, the clothing... the trips to school... the encouragement... talking to... counseling...
[02:12] <// J_Daito //> Gah she's being introspective again
[02:12] <FireFly_9> Years upon years of time spent, protecting, molding, influencing and cherishing that child.
[02:12] * @Dr_Xadium is listening to: Lulu - The Man With The Golden Gun.mp3 [128 kbps]
[02:13] <=^catablanca^=> What are you trying to say, Hotaru-chan?
[02:13] <FireFly_9> Life is so... fragile...
[02:14] <FireFly_9> I mean all that time and energy and care put into a person, and they grow up over the course of time... say a third of a century.
[02:15] <// J_Daito //> I assume there's a point in this whole sorry diatribe somewhere
[02:15] * C'est_la_V is listening to: Sheena Easton - For Your Eyes Only.mp3 [128 kbps]
[02:16] <FireFly_9> Yes... these sentiments... I consider them important, especially in the light of the recent tsunami....
[02:16] <FireFly_9> 100,000+ lives just snuffed out in an instant... the sum totality of all those experiences... wiped out. All that love and care and kindness spent in raising those babies to adulthood... just to have them be erased.
[02:19] <// J_Daito //> People die every day. 154,483 people died today, roughly.
[02:20] * @Dr_Xadium is listening to: Dionne Warwick - Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang.mp3 [128 kbps]
[02:22] <// J_Daito //> Do you know *why* the Tsunami is so shocking? Because it happened at once. People aren't used to that kind of death, nature's fury exploding all at once. They're used to seeing people waste away of age or maybe get sick. The media sure doesn't go into how many die a day. You have to DIG for that number.
[02:22] <// J_Daito //> And it's more terrifying because you can't take any steps. There's a quake and then a wave. End of game.
[02:23] <FireFly_9> Well, yes... but it's so poignant, is it not? And the irony is
[02:23] * C'est_la_V is listening to: Rita Coolidge - All Time High.mp3 [128 kbps]
[02:23] <FireFly_9> The irony is that the description I gave you was an angsty reflection on life... not the life of the Tsunami victims...
[02:24] <FireFly_9> But of the murderer, Scott Petersen.
[02:24] <// J_Daito //> HIM?!
[02:24] <FireFly_9> Yes, they were waxing this eloquently about the waste of HIS life, now that he's going to Death Row... on MSNBC.
[02:25] * @Dr_Xadium is listening to: Tom Jones - Thunderball.mp3 [128 kbps]
[02:27] <=^catablanca^=> That's messed up. And as a guy who was married to Chibiusa, and whose underaged wife has run off with a TEDDY BEAR, that's saying something.
[02:27] <// J_Daito //> Oh yes, how is all that going, anyway?
[02:33] * =^catablanca^= notes Chibiusa's still trying to drug him up with catnip and the divorce is still heading to court.
[02:33] <// J_Daito //> You know I have that runt's Ginzuishou still, don't you?
[02:33] * C'est_la_V is listening to: Carly Simon - Nobody Does It Better.mp3 [128 kbps]
[02:34] <// J_Daito //> Granted I can't make it *do* anything, but.
[02:35] <=^catablanca^=> That's the most powerful weapon in the universe, you know.
[02:35] <// J_Daito //> It's propping up my dresser.
[02:35] * =^catablanca^= sighs

[02:38] <FireFly_9> I just find it so aggravating that people are willing to wax eloquent about the lives of such reprobates while tragedy surrounds us all and we barely bat an eyelid. This Tsunami was a special case because it made "big news".

[02:51] <FireFly_9> Let me guess. "Evil" is that these are so funny we'll be crying out in pain that there are no more.
[02:53] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Nope.
[02:53] * FireFly_9 notes Jedite is watching these over her shoulder.
[02:53] <GERMATOID> YOU TWO KIDS BEHAVE UP THERE
[03:01] <FireFly_9> Very funny.

[03:21] <FireFly_9> Shingo-kun... why the sudden change of heart?

[03:38] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Uhh, yeah?
[03:38] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> It's me, Haruka-kun! Motoki!
[03:40] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Mo? Holy s[BLEEP]t dude! You got internet?
[03:41] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Unazuki insisted we get it for the fruit parlor and the bar so she could chat with her girlfriends overseas instead of managing the place ><
[03:41] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Sorry I haven't been to the bar man, I've been having a little rough patch at home
[03:41] <// J_Daito //> Ah. It's the Bartender with the absentee girlfriend.
[03:42] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Huh? Who are you.
[03:42] <// J_Daito //> Jay Daito.
[03:42] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Oh yeah, Jed.
[03:42] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Hi.
[03:43] <// J_Daito //> So where is the little woman this time? Austria? Hungary? Austria-Hungary?
[03:45] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> ACtually she is... she sent me a postcard... I guess it was from Austria because it said it was from the town of f[BLEEP]king on it
[03:45] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> There's a town named f[BLEEP]king?! No s[BLEEP]t!
[03:45] <FireFly_9> In upper Austria, yes.
[03:46] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> She had her friend Kurt send it.
[03:46] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Kurt?
[03:47] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Yeah, it said, "now f[BLEEP]king kurt" I guess she was in a hurry.

[03:48] <FireFly_9> Good grief.
[03:49] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Dude... when was the last time... you saw Reika?
[03:49] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> You mean not on a webcam?
[03:50] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> ...yes. Not on a webcam.
[03:52] <FireFly_9> Reika... excuse me, but what's her family name?
[03:52] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> That's Hotaru.
[03:53] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Hotaru? Little Hotaru who Haruka-kun would have dance on the bar for peanuts?
[03:54] <FireFly_9> DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG I'VE TRIED TO SUPPRESS THOSE MEMORIES?! And I'm older now.
[03:54] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> uhh.. ok?
[03:55] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Her family name is Nishimura... but it won't be for long.
[03:55] <=^catablanca^=> She getting it changed?
[03:56] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> It will be Furuhata like mine! And who're you?
[03:56] <=^catablanca^=> Artemis.
[03:57] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> He's a cat. That talks and types.
[03:57] <FireFly_9> Haruka-poppa!!
[03:57] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Oh... a furry... that's umm... so Haruka-kun!
[03:58] <=^catablanca^=> That's... not....
[04:01] <FireFly_9> Nishimura Reika... when I was living with Sempai, she said that she'd found out she was distantly related to her, like a second cousin or some such.
[04:06] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> That would explain why they sound alike.
[04:06] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Sempai?
[04:10] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Aino Minako.
[04:11] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Yeah, they do sound a lot alike, now that I think of it.
[04:17] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Oh, Haruka-kun. You should be getting a visit from Tsukino Shingo
[04:42] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> WE did already. How did you know?
[04:43] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> I caught him making the moves on Kaioh-kun and... well I broke a bottle over the bar and ran otuside and threatened to cut him if he didn't stop it.
[04:43] <FireFly_9> O_o;
[04:44] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Uhh... thanks?
[04:45] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Hah, I wasn't *really* gonna do it.... but I know what it must feel like to worry about a loved one...
[04:45] * --=[ SpeedRcrX ]=-- wasn't worried
[04:45] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> Haruka-kun... we've been real good friends... and... I'd do anything for you.
[04:45] <--=[ SpeedRcrX ]=--> Thanks man. I mean it.
[04:45] <Crwn_FruT_Gamer> ....Anything... at all.
