[03:40:19] nj/rizon !duckstats

[14:20:03] nj/rizon !bang

[14:20:14] nj/rizon happy new yeeeaaaar

[14:20:42] nj/rizon Mikoolo: a wizard always arrives exactly when they intend to

[14:21:36] nj/rizon pfft, that's what you think

[14:22:37] nj/rizon Mikoolo: yes. i am recently returned from the Dungeon Dimensions.

[14:23:42] nj/rizon absolutely... i've read probably 20 or 25 of them

[14:23:58] nj/rizon nice

[14:24:25] nj/rizon hmm. Vimes maybe.

[14:25:24] nj/rizon i remember when i first read color of magic, i was too young to understand what "in-sewer-ants" was haha

[14:25:49] nj/rizon h4: "insurance" phonetically

[14:26:44] nj/rizon at the start of the first book, a tourist arrives in the city with this new concept he calls "in-sewer-ants". sells fire insurance to a pub owner, which within hours results in half the city being burned down

[14:27:14] nj/rizon yeah

[14:27:24] nj/rizon they're very funny books

[14:27:41] nj/rizon the discworld is basically a reflection of the real world, and he makes very funny observations about human nature

[14:27:59] nj/rizon mmhmm

[14:29:46] nj/rizon i like Leonard Of Quirm's bad names for things. like his code machine, the Engine for the Neutralization of Information by the Generation of Mesmeric Alphabets

[14:29:56] nj/rizon mmm same

[14:30:09] nj/rizon i really liked the GNU Terry Pratchett thing

[14:30:36] nj/rizon http://www.gnuterrypratchett.com/

[14:31:39] nj/rizon yeah

[14:31:48] nj/rizon that Leonard Of Quirm thing, if it's not obvious...

[14:32:04] nj/rizon the acronym for "Engine for the Neutralization of Information by the Generation of Mesmeric Alphabets" would be "ENIGMA"

[14:32:25] nj/rizon haha yeah

[14:33:17] nj/rizon i liked "rat: 2p, rat with ketchup: 5p" ... "why's rat with ketchup so expensive?" "have you ever tried rat without ketchup?"

[14:34:25] nj/rizon yeah. Granny Weatherwax is a cool character too

[14:35:13] nj/rizon uh huh. and Cheery Littlebottom becomes Cherry Littlebottom

[14:35:50] nj/rizon another good pun title was the vampire book, "Carpe Jugulum"... "go for the throat"

[14:36:27] nj/rizon yeah it might have been. i think the first Uberwald one too

[14:36:45] nj/rizon is it Thud! that has "that's not my cow" in it?

[14:36:58] nj/rizon that was good

[14:37:02] nj/rizon !bang

[14:37:10] nj/rizon :D

[14:37:48] nj/rizon i was lucky enough that my dad is a fan too, so we had most of them in the house when i was growing up

[14:37:56] nj/rizon i think i started reading them when i was about 12 or 13

[14:38:36] nj/rizon The Fifth Elephant was the first one i remember being published once i was reading them

[14:39:05] nj/rizon yeah i can imagine. tbh, some of the jokes were lost on me as a younger person too, even as a native english speaker

[14:40:45] nj/rizon i read an english translation (from german) of the metamorphosis by franz kafka, and that didn't really work very well in english. so many really long sentences, that probably work fine in german but don't work very well in english at all

[14:41:17] nj/rizon or maybe it was just a bad translation, i dunno. i can imagine something like discworld would translate really badly because they're littered with puns and plays on words, as you say

[15:09:00] nj/rizon okay i got sidetracked reading about books on wikipedia

[15:10:50] nj/rizon what have you been writing ComputerTech ?

[15:11:12] nj/rizon hexchat poems

[15:11:28] nj/rizon i don't use hexchat

[15:11:31] nj/rizon i irc with telnet

[15:16:14] nj/rizon ComputerTech: i've been working on an irc bot framework

[15:16:30] nj/rizon ComputerTech: what?!

[15:17:21] nj/rizon ComputerTech: you're so hip with your lingo

[15:17:30] nj/rizon :D

[15:17:53] nj/rizon it fucken wimdy here rn

[15:18:04] nj/rizon and it's been raining all day

[15:18:16] nj/rizon i'm looking forward to going to sleep tonight and listening to it

[15:18:50] nj/rizon nah normally it's not worth commenting on Mikoolo, but this is actually like... noticeably weather

[15:19:11] nj/rizon never heard of him

[15:19:29] nj/rizon oh shit is he the guy that did that really good rolljam video?

[15:20:16] nj/rizon oh no that was Steve Mould

[15:21:20] nj/rizon i do recognise him actually

[15:23:49] nj/rizon login: what do you want it to stand for?

[15:29:31] nj/rizon haha that was a great closing video

[15:34:37] nj/rizon mmm

[15:34:43] nj/rizon i'm tempted to go

[15:35:01] nj/rizon peri peri fries, macho peas

[15:35:15] nj/rizon and some sort of wrap i guess

[15:35:26] nj/rizon booo :( macho peas are my favourite

[15:35:46] nj/rizon dunno... i go pretty rarely so i never really remember exactly what i like

[15:36:03] nj/rizon they did a mushroom and halloumi wrap once

[15:36:08] nj/rizon no chicken but it was really good

[15:36:11] nj/rizon with chilli jam

[15:40:09] nj/rizon Mikoolo: not sure where you live, but i used to cross that roundabout Bushey Heath station was supposed to built by every day on my way to work

[15:43:13] nj/rizon zof: is that in london? can't say i have

[15:44:07] nj/rizon login: yeah, what is it, like, chickpeas, bit of olive oil, maybe some tahini or something?

[15:44:15] nj/rizon it's pretty simple, right?

[15:45:08] nj/rizon wind just blew the recycling bins outside over

[16:07:29] nj/rizon the mechanism is busted so it doesn't actually latch properly when you close it

[16:19:08] nj/rizon the recycling bin is making its way down the path

[16:19:13] nj/rizon forging a new direction for itself

[16:19:21] nj/rizon you go, bin. i believe in you.

[16:20:59] nj/rizon i'm imagining that's like the closing shot from texas chainsaw massacre, but with godzilla instead of leatherface
