It was, by far, the most successful "SyFy original" movie. 12:12 <@ignotus-sdf> oddball: I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry at that. 12:13 <@oddball> Sorry, the Dune mini-series might have done better, but that was years ago. 12:13 <@wilpig> That was done by SciFi and it was excellent 12:13 <@oddball> Yes it was. 12:14 <@ignotus-sdf> I agree. And I had the hots for the girl at the time, if its the one I'm thinking of. I liked it better than the movie. 12:14 <@wilpig> It wasn't geared toward the drunken college crowd either. 12:14 <@oddball> The first D&D movie that they did (not the theatrical one) was quite good too. 12:15 <@wilpig> Stupidnado was geared toward the drunken college crowd and it was able to draw box office sales.

Of course, I'm also the weirdo that liked the movie and understood it when I was 4 and hadn't read the book. 12:25 <@oddball> Same thing with 2001. 12:25 <@ignotus-sdf> I liked the movie, too, I just liked the mini-series better. 12:25 <@wilpig> oddball: explaining it to "normal" people 12:25 <@wilpig> not us 12:25 <@ignotus-sdf> I had a 2001 lunchbox... 12:26 <@oddball> Yeah...

The 84 is the latest in the series that started with the 81, while the 89 came from the 85. 22:55 -!- K4k [~K4k@unaffiliated/k4k] has joined #se2600 22:55 < RangerZ|Laptop> hmm, i know we had the 84 when I was in school, and 2005 is too late for that 22:55 * oddball knows entirely too much about TI calculators. 22:55 < RangerZ|Laptop> maybe it was 83? 22:55 < RangerZ|Laptop> hmm 22:56 -!- K4k [~K4k@unaffiliated/k4k] has quit [Read error: Connection reset by peer] 22:56 < RangerZ|Laptop> yeah I guess it was 22:56 < RangerZ|Laptop> we had so many of those fucking things in HS it wasn't funny 22:57 -!- K4k [~K4k@unaffiliated/k4k] has joined #se2600 22:57 <@oddball> Really? I remember the 85 and up being banned from tests, but models under 85 were cool. 22:57 <@oddball> And the Ti-9x calcs were right out. 22:57 < RangerZ|Laptop> apparently the 89 is fair game on the SAT and AP tests 22:57 < RangerZ|Laptop> 89 isn't usable on ACT and its tests 23:08 <@oddball> So... ummm... Netflix is suggesting I watch these four movies: Scream, Grease, Jumanji, and Whore's Glory. 23:09 <@Dagmar> Whore's GLory? 23:09 * Dagmar looks 23:10 <@Dagmar> Bleh. Not what I was expecting. 23:10 <@oddball> A documentary about whores, not porn. 23:10 <@Dagmar> Exactly. 23:23 < RangerZ|Laptop> does it have birds flocking near the whores, all disney like? 23:23 < RangerZ|Laptop> Dagmar: sorry to hear about your scooter 23:24 <@Dagmar> Yeah I am not amused about all the work I put into it running off 23:25 <@Dagmar> If I buy another one tomorrow, the weekend will be spent setting up gmonk.appspot.com on whatever I can get my hands on 23:25 <@Dagmar> If it's stolen again, fire will rain from the heavens. 23:25 <@Dagmar> Literally. 23:31 -!- SuMo_D [~sumo_d@108-193-45-205.lightspeed.gnvlsc.sbcglobal.net] has joined #se2600 23:31 -!- mode/#se2600 [+o SuMo_D] by ChanServ 23:36 -!- SuMo_D [~sumo_d@108-193-45-205.lightspeed.gnvlsc.sbcglobal.net] has quit [Ping timeout: 264 seconds] 23:42 <@Bahhumbug> Dagmar: I've been busy rebuilding broken shit... someone ripped off your scooter? 23:42 <@Dagmar> Yep. 23:42 <@Dagmar> ...and no, I didn't have theft insurance because Geico wanted an unrealistic amount of money for that 23:43 <@Bahhumbug> Wow dude, I'm genuinely sorry to hear that. 23:43 <@Dagmar> $800, twice a year. 23:43 <@Dagmar> I saved a good bit of money ignoring that since I got it in 2008. 23:43 <@Bahhumbug> If you find the person responsible could you break a couple bones for me? Just on general principle? 23:43 <@Dagmar> I would put them in the river. 23:43 <@Dagmar> Alive. 23:43 <@Bahhumbug> I am fine with that as well. 23:44 <@Dagmar> With just enough styrofoam tied to them to mostly keep their head above water. 23:44 <@Dagmar> Maybe. 23:44 <@Bahhumbug> As long as their is suffering. 23:44 <@Dagmar> I'm no good at those kinds of calculations. 23:44 <@Bahhumbug> there, even. 23:44 <@Bahhumbug> Where did it get stolen from? 23:45 <@Dagmar> From the parking lot of my condoplex 23:45 <@Bahhumbug> That's either quite brave or quite stupid of someone. 23:45 <@Dagmar> Thieves aren't generally known for being all that bright 23:45 <@Bahhumbug> Nope. And here's hoping to them trying again and getting caught. 23:46 <@Dagmar> I suspect one of two things happened. 23:46 <@Dagmar> Either one of the junk metal scavengers lost their head and decided to snatch it... 23:47 <@Dagmar> ...or some of the people that come 'round and basically drive off the edge of the parking lot to go park next to the treeline by the river so they can fish decided to put it in their pick'em up truck and take it somewhere to go creek bombing on 23:47 <@Dagmar> ...in which case, they're probably going to break their torso and that's fine by me. 23:47 <@Dagmar> You do *not* jump ramps on a scooter 23:47 <@Dagmar> Not unless you like wearing the indentation of an instrument cluster on your chest 23:48 <@Dagmar> There is a slight chance it might have been the messicans 23:48 <@Dagmar> ...although I would really expect guys stealing lawnmowers and stuff to know there is little point in stealing an economy-model scooter 23:48 <@Dagmar> There's a good chance I'm going to be picking up another one tomorrow for $695 23:49 <@Dagmar> Again, less than the goddamn premium Geico originally wanted. 23:49 <@Dagmar> There will be a phone call to see if they've figured out their shit by now 23:49 <@Dagmar> I don't know why they'd even pretend to insure a scooter at that rate 23:50 <@Dagmar> They'd only be able to use it for parts, but what the guck. GY6 parts are dirt goddamn cheap 23:50 <@Dagmar> $300 will just about get you an entire brand new engine 23:51 <@Dagmar> Used? $25. Maybe. 23:51 <@Dagmar> A1 Fun Cycles has dozens of them rusting out 23:51 <@Dagmar> They will be getting a visit tomorrow as well. 23:51 <@Dagmar> The place is fucking suspicious 23:52 <@Dagmar> They literally have 100 scooters rusting out over there. 23:52 <@Dagmar> I can not see sanity in them paying anything like a full price for that many of them and never manage to sell them 23:52 <@Dagmar> They barely advertise, they're just sort of "there". 23:53 <@Dagmar> They're either fencing or it's a laundering situation. One of the two. 23:53 <@Dagmar> By comparison, the other places in Nashville you can get a scooter from might have as many as a dozen on site 23:54 <@Dagmar> It's also a stones throw from where the Days Inn Stadium is 23:54 <@Dagmar> Another warning sign. 23:55 -!- hobbes615 [~hobbes@unaffiliated/hobbes615] has joined #se2600 23:56 <@Bahhumbug> I really hate thieves. 23:57 <@Dagmar> This theft strikes me as particularly irksome because it's damn near pointless. 23:58 <@Dagmar> The amount of time and materials it's going to take to make the thing not obviously customized to hell has to be much more than it's worth 23:58 <@Dagmar> ...and the thing isn't even worth much as parts. 23:58 <@Dagmar> It does *ride* but if I see it on the road... well... 23:58 <@Dagmar> People get hurt on scooters all the time. 23:59 <@Dagmar> It's just usually from being struck by a car and not a flying sociopath --- Log closed Thu Jul 24 00:00:11 2014
