A Challenger Has Arrived! (Whither the Nightcrew?)

[Chimera]

Spriggan, I hear we may be watching the Batman movie tomorrow night. The original, with Adam West, and all the *Bam!* *Pow!* *Smack!!* action, and the "Holy hippos, Batman" Robin phrases. I've seen the old TV show, but not the movie--the TV show was funny, so if the movie is like that, I'll probably be entertained.

[Spriggan]

Na it's finding nemo, bleh, Earl is hitting on women tomorrow night.

[Mr_Pleasington]

Well, I'm more procrastinating on the practice buying.  And I really shouldn't be.

Yeah, I got offered a good tip from a doctor friend and I'm probably going to buy out a guy's practice.  It'll be a big investment, but I'm confident it will be a worthwhile one.  There's a lot of untapped potential there.

[Chimera]

Ug, my Internet connection is so SLOW tonight! I can't even be a part of the conversation because it moves slower than a lethargic snail. All right. I think I'm ready for bed. I'll sign off and leave those with *working* Internet connections to it.

[Spriggan]

Laters.

Ya that will be a big investment Mr. P but I guess it's better to take advantage of the opportunity then work for someone else for several years saving up for your own.  'Course I really don't know what I'm talking about since I have no idea how medical businesses work.

On the other hand I caused an internet controversy on the net by posting one of my brother's EUOLogies on his website (the Tolken one), guess there were some people pretty pissed at EUOL calling him and idiot who doesn't know anything.  Actually I was laughing last night at all the different people on the book forums I was looking at (I googled elantris) and their stupid over reactions.

[Mr_Pleasington]

Should I start calling you Scott Kurtz?

[Spriggan]

well it was EUOL's article he wrote for here and since he asked me to slowly port his articles over to his site I did just that.  So I think calling him Kurtz would be a better analogy even though he blamed the articles "strange" appearance on me.

[Mr_Pleasington]

Hah!  Passing the buck, eh?

[Spriggan]

Yep wouldn't be the first time.  My family likes to blame everything on me even when I'm not in the same state, guess it's just force of habit.

Who's this I'm smacking down, and why did no one give me the requisite eight hours smackdown notice?

[Entsuropi]

Heh. Dr P - get yourself Xfire, BF2, and a headset. Come join my clan. Kick ass.

It's really as simple as that.

(XFire is like an IM for games. It shows what your friends are playing, what servers they are on, who is on those servers, lets you send IM straight into games (i use it a lot while waiting on the loading screens ) and shows how many hours you have played lately. Like this:

[Mr_Pleasington]

Working on getting the cash to get the game, Entropy.  Then I'm all about it.

I just worry that any server we'd share would probably have an enormous ping for one of us.

[The Holy Saint, Grand High Poobah, Master of Monkeys, Ehlers]

must... avoid... making joke... about ... my... big ping....

darn. and I tried so hard.

[Mr_Pleasington]

I just logged onto Xfire, Entropy.

That's a nice little program.

Sent you a friend invite.

[Mr_Pleasington]

I return for another night!

At least until I boot up the BF 2 Demo.

My fiance and I watched "Darkness" tonight.  Much better than I thought it would be.

What did you do?
