Alcor, we're not all ignorant
sunrise
A post consisting solely of a single full stop indicates a moment of silence, btw.
Alcor
but majority rules, lurker :P
allkindsoftime
so where's everyone from?

mom?

I get this impression, though, when I talk to MeFites, that after anything you say half the population of the room is going to Wikipedia and looking it up, or Google, and searching; it seems like that sort of population.
8:37pm (August 22, 2006) citizenpremier
wikipedia is my second brain
is that a bad thing?
Alcor
i am google or at least that's what my friends think
lurker_on_the_blue
I once changed the date of World War I, and it remained unrepaired for several days.
citizenpremier
thanks
that's why I got an F on my report
lurker_on_the_blue
Shouldn't have used Wikipedia, then, eh?
8:38pm (August 22, 2006) citizenpremier
k you can't use wikipedia for a report
but
it's still probably the most useful website out there.
sunrise
I knew someone who would edit Wikipedia entries to give Indians a more prominent place in history.
lurker_on_the_blue
No, Google is.
Alcor
altho zombo.com is more practical
citizenpremier
no, google video has no porn.
true
I hear you can do anything at zombo.com
8:39pm (August 22, 2006) lurker_on_the_blue
I would hope Wikipedia has no porn.
citizenpremier
no, but it discusses it plenty.
lurker_on_the_blue
And is that equally titillating?
allkindsoftime
hey sunrise, where in the city are you?
8:40pm (August 22, 2006) sunrise
East village.
allkindsoftime
coo. i have an office in the west vill.
8:41pm (August 22, 2006) sunrise
I go to school at NYU.
lurker_on_the_blue
Oh dear. Two New Yorkers in one place.
Alcor
will there be a mugging?
lurker_on_the_blue
Nah, just a lot of conversation none of the rest of us understand.

and I'm fromf Jersey
lurker_on_the_blue
Oh, and now, Alcor, sunrise and allkindsoftime will vehemently ostracize sherpa.
8:43pm (August 22, 2006) Alcor
well, all i know about jersey i learned from sopranos
sounds like a cool place
lurker_on_the_blue
Cool?! It's coated in suburbia!
booksherpa
I'm not just from Jersey, I was born and raised here and could run the tourism department based on just my Jersey love.

8:45pm (August 22, 2006) lurker_on_the_blue
Ow. Wiki-link burn.
Alcor
lmao
kinda like carpet burn but funnier
8:46pm (August 22, 2006) lurker_on_the_blue
I'm not so sure. A girl once came to class with carpet burn on half of her face when I was in college.
That was pretty funny.
Also, incontrovertible proof that New Jersey is essentially Mordor: http://maps.google.com/?ie=UTF8&ll=39.45674,-74.385166&spn=0.04069,0.080509&t=k&om=1

Inicidentally I have to go
8:48pm (August 22, 2006) lurker_on_the_blue
A bientot, premier.
citizenpremier
my "real life friends" are going to the beach, and I have to tell you because then you'll think I'm cool.
I'll check back later to see if any of you folks are still here. ta.
booksherpa
I want to go to the beach.
I want to sit around a big bonfire on the beach leaning against my husband and chat with friends while I drink Mike's Hard Lemonade. Yeah.

I haven't been since May. It was cold, and there were a lot of jellyfish.
8:50pm (August 22, 2006) Alcor
i'm going to romania on vacation next week and i'm definitely going to the beach! wee
lurker_on_the_blue
N.C. and S.C. beaches are overcrowded in high summer, though, so it's not really worth it to drive six hours to be in a giant crowd of drunk people and obnoxious children.
Romania has beaches?
8:51pm (August 22, 2006) Alcor
some of the best in the world.. altho now the resorts became a bit expensive so only rich local and germans, etc go there.. regular romanian ppl go to greece or turkey, it's cheaper
booksherpa
Lurker, that's South Jersey. It's like a whole 'nother state down there.
8:52pm (August 22, 2006) lurker_on_the_blue
For some reason, I thought Romania was landlocked, but I see it has some shoreline.
Thanks, Wikipedia!
Alcor
at the black sea
lol
lurker_on_the_blue
With black water and landscapes of bone, apparently, sherpa

I live on fifteen acres of fields and woods in the South. New Jersey and this area are like antitheses.
Welcome to the conversation, rhands. sherpa and time are from New Jersey.

Lurker, you scared him away!
8:57pm (August 22, 2006) lurker_on_the_blue
Nah, it's because 1/3 of the population of the room is from New Jersey.
