4:13 PM Dylan: sup broker

4:14 PM me: no too much po.

8 minutes

4:22 PM Dylan: took the cat to the vet today

4:24 PM me: put it down?

4:25 PM Dylan: nah

She's depressed.

me: huh? how can you tell if a cat is dpressed?

Dylan: although putting her down would be a heck of a lot cheaper and more convenient

4:26 PM A depressed cat looses interest in eating, and will just sleep and lay around until it dies.

me: woah

so what does one do to cheer up a depressed cat?

Dylan: They gave her an appetite stimulant shot and a can of food they promised is especially appetizing.

4:27 PM Oh, and a hydrating injection because she hasn't been drinking water either.

4:28 PM me: try these:

clarita wants to know which cat?

Dylan: The #1 cat, Cinnamon.

4:29 PM me: try the cat jokes

Dylan: She got depressed when we introduced #3 cat.

#2 cat, Satyan doesn't love Cinnamon any more.

So, Cinnamon became depressed.

I'll try the jokes. Those look good.

4:30 PM me: if the jokes don't work, throw cat #3 off the balcony.

4:31 PM and don't worry about cat #3, cat's always land on their feet.

Dylan: I've been tempted.

That one has peed on my bed three times.

4:34 PM me: 3 strikes

4:38 PM http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baseball_rules#Batting

10 minutes

4:48 PM me: no reply huh. sounds like at least one of you humanoids have become somewhat attached to #3. [ probably both ]

57 minutes

5:46 PM Dylan: I'm pretty disinclined to do anything uncivilized to the little creature, even if id pissed on my bed.

the plummetininess of the stock market

8:28 PM me: are you still somewhat accustomed to the plummetininess of the stock market?

Dylan: Yes, accustomed.

me: okay thanks

8:29 PM just wanted to make sure, so i don't waste my time

11 minutes

8:40 PM Dylan: yea, don't waste your time

20 minutes

9:01 PM me: no it's not a waste of time if you are still into it

9:02 PM i don't want to paraphrase your quote if your going to dump it soon after

thats all

Dylan: You see John, we've really got to stay motivated.

me: ain't that the truth

9:03 PM Dylan: yep

me: when was the last time you've made a farting sound with your hand in your arm pit?

9:04 PM can't remember can you?

Dylan: I couldn't nail it down to a particular date & time.

9:05 PM me: do it now! do it now dox! do it for posterity sake, and for the survival of everything that is good!

9:06 PM once you have completed the task, record it somehow. thus, next time someone asks you, you'll have a record of the date and time.

9:07 PM Dylan: Dylan used his hand and armpit to make farting noises.
9:06 PM, November 15, 2008

me: awesome powder!

did you really do it?

9:08 PM Dylan: Yes, I did it at 9:06 PM, November 15, 2008.

9:09 PM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAgUuOnMNQU

me: that's awesome. all of what is good is saved, and you have recorded the incident for posterity.

9:12 PM do you really think powder cares about humanity passing technology?

9:13 PM Dylan: He just wants people to stop picking on him.

9:16 PM me: how does Sarah brightman prefer it?

Dylan: I'm not sure.

9:17 PM But I think that movie was a big boost for Lance Henriksen's career.

9:18 PM It was really good for Jeff Goldbloom, assuming that it's his mission to make intellectuals look like fruity weirdos.

9:19 PM me: despite all that, are we still good with your alias "powder"?

9:20 PM Dylan: Well, I'd proposed it minutes after watching that film on television with Yuki.

And it occurred to me, "What would people think if I told them that I wanted to be referred to as 'Powder'."

So, I tried it out on you.

9:21 PM You seemed to take to it rather favorably.

9:25 PM me: yeah, and the whole time it still remains private, and we can keep it that way, or we can mix it up a little and go with something new..... you choice, just let me knwo

9:26 PM Dylan: That's a good call. I think it's time for something new.

9:29 PM me: yeah me too. i will think of a new one for me too

9:31 PM since i enjoy being called 'bro' for short, i will select my new alias to be 'broker'

Dylan: nice one

9:32 PM me: thanks po

9:33 PM Dylan: I'm still into "po", I'll preserve that also by designating myself as, "posix".

me: okay than posix it is!

9:34 PM yo posix!

Dylan: sup broker!

me: okay i am going to bed now posix! goodnight

9:35 PM Dylan: Good night Bro!

getting down to business

sometimes when having philosophical conversations we tend to go off the deep end a bit.

fish sauce

me: you've joined

10:34 AM Dylan: here I am

10:36 AM me: hey there

Dylan: Hi there.

me: so it turns out that Joomla and Mambo are exactly the same thing

weird

10:37 AM Dylan: trippy

me: strange

[ i bet he types "bizarre" now ]

10:38 AM [ shit, i lost the bet! ]

Dylan: [ bizarre ]

10:39 AM me: i have always enjoyed fish sauce

10:40 AM recently i have found out how it is made

Dylan: yea?

me: and last week when i had some with some Vietnamese food, i didn't enjoy it as much

10:41 AM mental.

if you enjoy fish sauce, keep your head in the sand

i wish i could go back

10:43 AM i should have taken the blue pill

but no! i just had to have the red one.

10:45 AM oh well, at least there is still the peanut sauce.

10:46 AM Dylan: How do they make fish sauce?

10:48 AM me: are you sure? do you want the red pill?

Dylan: yes

10:50 AM I want the RED pill!

10:51 AM me: they get raw whole fish, and they soak it in vinegar until the flesh completely breaks down, becoming one with the liquid.

10:52 AM then they strain it through a filter to remove the bones.

11:08 AM Dylan: That sounds better than what I imagined.

I always thought they just took the leftovers and ground it up and mixed it with some water.

11:10 AM me: so you are happy about your decision on the red pill?

11:11 AM Dylan: Yes.

Do they gut the fish first?

me: yes

if i had said no would you have changed your position?

11:13 AM Dylan: Well, I never liked fish sauce all that much. So my position is slightly improved knowing they gut the fish first.

11:14 AM me: why have you not liked it, because you thought i was ground up fish?

11:15 AM Dylan: yes
