< burp> fuck, there better not be spiders living in my hair
< burp> one just did the web thing down out of my hair and tickled my neck
<%johnl> he was just warning you
<%johnl> that you better do something with your hair
<%johnl> or those elegant tufts will be colonised
<%johnl> and a small forward community of spiders will set up home just south of your crown
<%johnl> they bring in small packets of rations to keep them going over the first hard winter
<%johnl> like the pilgrims of yore
<%johnl> each ration pack is dropped in by air, and contains enough food for a small family for 2 months
<%johnl> a couple of flies, a large daddy-long-legs and some fleas
<%johnl> they're all preserved in salt to keep them fresh
<%johnl> the first spiders crossed the great chasm of space to Jeff's hair sometime in February of 2006, 1 spider-year ago        
<%johnl> the first spider to set all eight feet on his hair was called Rancles
<%johnl> he was a great explorer and had also discovered that harsh and difficult environment that is Brian's hair
<%johnl> when the colony planning team decided that Brazil seemed too harsh to merit terraforming, they set up a task-force        
<@rsynnott> yes, you put all together too much thought into that
<@rsynnott> *goes for haircut panicily*
<%johnl> you fucker rob
<%johnl> you broke the story
<%johnl> i was gonna go all night

13:15 < snappieT> so, got my secret santa gift...
13:15 < snappieT> everyone got something cool, I got an envelope
13:16 < nosmo> full of acid
13:16 < snappieT> containing confirmation of the donation made, in my name, to http://www.cleft.ie/
13:16 < tooly> Title: cleft.ie
13:16 < snappieT> :(
13:16 <@johnl> Trolled to death
13:16 < padraiq> lol wow
13:16 <@johnl> I didn't know Jeff worked at Microsoft
13:16 < nosmo> Wow, how horrible 
13:16 < snappieT> I am raging so fucking hard, it's not funny at all that I don't get a gift
13:16 < nosmo> I don't know how you can contain yourself 
13:16 < snappieT> We joked about this during the week, so by all means forge a letter and then give me a real gift
13:16 < snappieT> but no
13:17 < snappieT> this is realk
13:17 < nosmo> I'd have my nails driven into my palms 
13:17 < nosmo> I'd start smashing windows if I were you 
13:17 < snappieT> :/
13:17 < padraiq> do ye know who sent it
13:17 < padraiq> return address?
13:17 < snappieT> yeah, I know the guy that got it
13:18 < nosmo> I am very conflicted
13:18 < padraiq> time to shit in a jiffybag
13:18 < padraiq> and send it
13:18 < nosmo> Not sure whether to be overjoyed with amusement 
13:18 < nosmo> or suicidal with horror
13:18 < snappieT> like, great troll against me etc.
13:18 -!- kopf changed the topic of #ducss to: 13:16 < snappieT> I am raging so fucking hard, it's not funny at all that I don't get a gift
13:18 < snappieT> but bit shitty to not actually get a gift
13:18 < nosmo> It's not a troll maybe? 

13:18 < snappieT> oh it is
13:19 < pfarrel> snappieT: in fairness most of the gifts are utter shit that is gonna go straight into a cupboard and never be looked at again
13:19 < nosmo> It's a pretty good gift imo
13:19 <@johnl> Did you leave Atlas Shrugged lying on your desk or something?
13:19 < snappieT> we joked about that the least worthwhile charity might be during the week
13:19 < pfarrel> useless plastic bollocks from the gasget shop
13:19 < pfarrel> *gadet
13:19 <@johnl> Do all the people in the office Know?
13:19 < nosmo> Surely your heartless ideology relies on charity to support these people once you are not taxed at all for anything? 
13:19 < kopf> :')
13:19 < nosmo> and this is laying the groundwork
13:21 < snappieT> pfarrel: george's, adam's, maja's, philips are all decent
13:21 <@johnl> Had to go out for some fresh air there
13:21 < snappieT> and the poiteann
13:21 < snappieT> g2g
13:21 < nosmo> It's the lack of thought that counts!
13:21 < kopf> this is amazing
13:21 < nosmo> You disgust me
13:21 < kopf> throw your toys out of the pram stephen
13:21 < kopf> throw those fucking toys
13:21 < nosmo> You could have gotten a comedy willy!
13:21 < nosmo> But no, you helped some children 
13:22 < nosmo> Poor show on their part, really

<@eoinmcl> we should mention couperc in every line, so his entire screen goes yellow
<@Inky> eoinmcl: mention who? couperc?
<@eoinmcl> yeah, couperc
<@Inky> Oh right, couperc.
<@eoinmcl> so, i wonder how couperc feels about this.
<@Inky> I too wonder what couperc's opinion is
<@Inky> on the matter of couperc.
< Bren> don't be a sore loser Jeff :D
<@eoinmcl> Bren: you didnt say couperc
<@Inky> Bren: couperc was not said by you!
< rsynnott> eh?
< Bren> huh?
<@eoinmcl> rsynnott: Bren:  <@eoinmcl> we should mention couperc in every line, so his entire screen goes yellow
< Bren> what? :S 
<@eoinmcl> you guys are ruining the couperc thing
< Bren> couperc?
<@Inky> Yes, couperc.
<@eoinmcl> yeah, couperc
< rsynnott> ah
<@Inky> Don't forget about couperc 
< rsynnott> I mean, why couperc?
<@Inky> Why not couperc?
<@eoinmcl> we likle winding up couperc 
<@eoinmcl> also, couperc will be the most talked about banned gender in the irc stats
< couperc> banned gender? 
<@eoinmcl> couperc: your gender is banned.
< couperc> then surely your gender would be abanned aswell
< couperc> banned*
< Bren> blah
< KBKarma> huh.
< KBKarma> I've got some return statements within an if loop.
<@eoinmcl> you giys already get tired of mentioning couperc in every line?
< KBKarma> They don't count as returns.
 * rsynnott hisses
<@Inky> KBKarma: return "couperc";
<@eoinmcl> KBKarma: http://thc.org/root/phun/unmaintain.html
<@eoinmcl> couperc
< KBKarma> Inky: No, that would break Java.
<@Inky> KBKarma: I think it's okay to return in an if statement... couperc
< KBKarma> Inky: Tell my makeList method that, without showing it couperc.
<@Inky> KBKarma's makeList: Work, damn you! Or I'll unleash the couperc.
<@eoinmcl> KBKarma: couperc: The Nested Switch: (a switch within a switch) is the most difficult type of nesting for the human mind to unravel.
< KBKarma> Inky: Not the Couperc
< KBKarma> eoinmcl, couperc: so THAT'S why we use i, j and k in for loops!
 * Inky doesn't want to imagine how dodgy a couperc switch within a switch would be
< sdss> wow...lots of couperc
<@Inky> sdss: it's a couperc bonanza!
<@eoinmcl> yeah, couperc is the talk of the town
<@eoinmcl> i mean to say couperc is the talk of the channell, of course.
< KBKarma> couperc is the cat's pyjamas, apparently.
< pat> sdss: aww, sucks. Luckily, the internets can be quite entertaining. couperc
< sdss> couperc is going to be annoyed, yes
< KBKarma> sdss, couperc: Can't blame me. I'm just perpetuating the hating.
<@Inky> h8 by proxy, you might say. couperc
< sdss> pat: nah i dont really ifnd the internet that entertaining, i dont like surfing it for hours to look up random stuff. i only look at links people send me for entertainment, im too lazy to search....couperc
< sdss> so where IS couperc?
<@Inky> sdss: I'm like that too, but rss feeds make it easy to find fun stuff! couperc 
<@eoinmcl> probarly off doin' couperc stuff
< couperc> here 
<@Inky> hi couperc  
<@eoinmcl> couperc: there you are!
< sdss> ah couperc!
<@Inky> There is couperc  
<@Inky> couperc is here.
<@eoinmcl> couperc is there
< sdss> woohoo we have a couperc
<@Inky> couperc is everywhere
< KBKarma> WARNING! COUPERC DETECTED! PREPARING TO FIRE
< pat> indeed couperc is here
<@nosmo> This conversation is very couperc
<@Inky> Is couperc here?
< KBKarma> You might say there's a little couperc in all of us.
<@eoinmcl> !couperc
< KBKarma> If we ate him.
< socbot> couperc is teh fail
<@Inky> KBKarma: I sense a lack of couperc in that last statement.
< sdss> haha...wait who controls socbot cause thats weird
<@Inky> eoinmcl did there. He typed !couperc
<@Inky> socbot needs more couperc
< sdss> yeah i missed it
< KBKarma> Inky: The couperc lack was offset by the amount of coupercs I've fitted into the couperc-filled sentence containing couperc.
< couperc> when did that get changed
<@eoinmcl> and when i typed !couperc, socbot
<@eoinmcl> gave a couperc factoid
<@eoinmcl> couperc: what did it use to say?
<@Inky> something about couperc
< KBKarma> Inky, couperc: How I return in if statement?
<@Inky> KBKarma: return "couperc";
<@eoinmcl> Inky: well, one would presume EVERYTHING is about couperc
<@Inky> eoinmcl: Oh yes, couperc is universal
< KBKarma> Inky: "couperc has not been initialised"
< couperc> couperc is right, wrong or stupid
<@eoinmcl> i cant remember the last time something wasnt about couperc
<@eoinmcl> i got a really good way to wind up couperc
<@eoinmcl> even better than winding couperc up this way
<@eoinmcl> we should get everyone in #intersocs to say couperc in every line
<@eoinmcl> that would really wind up couperc
<@Inky> couperc in every line?
<@Inky> I like that couperc
<@Inky> I mean idea. couperc
<@eoinmcl> couperc in EVERY LINE
< KBKarma> We could wind up couperc using the key...
<@Inky> /couperc
<@Inky> s/\ / couperc /
< KBKarma> if (couperc == true) { System.out.printf("couperc!!!");}
<@eoinmcl>  /alias couperc msg #netsoc couperc
<@eoinmcl> we will continue to mention couperc on every line for about 3 weeks now
<@eoinmcl> and then someone (maybe couperc) will submit it to the irc quotes thing
<@Inky> couperc
<@Inky> It works! couperc
<@eoinmcl> and it will be tagged with 'couperc'
< KBKarma> alias couperc='hey couperc'
<@Inky> KBKarma: alias couperc='figlet couperc | hey couperc'
< pat> :D
<@eoinmcl> Inky: i will put the alias couperc in the global irssi settings
<@Inky> ^___couperc__^
< KBKarma> Inky: alias couperc='rotrep couperc!!! couperc'
< KBKarma> Hooray for eoinmcl and couperc!
<@Inky> First result! http://www.google.ie/search?q=couperc
<@eoinmcl> you guys, im leaving, but i want you all to keep winding up couperc until i come back.
<@Inky> Wind up who? couperc?
<@eoinmcl> yea, couperc
< KBKarma> You want us to wind up couperc, eh?
<@eoinmcl> dermo is lurking, and not winding up couperc
< KBKarma> Why is dermo not winding up couperc?
<@eoinmcl> he (dermo, not couperc) should be punished
< dalamar> Why are we mentioning couperc in every line? Just to wind up couperc?
< Antic-Hay> dunno why we're saying couperc
< KBKarma> But we ARE saying couperc.
< dalamar> I couperc.
< KBKarma> You couperc.
<@Inky> 15:46:23 @ eoinmcl> we should mention couperc in every line, so his entire screen goes yellow

< KBKarma> nosmo, couperc: Why do you weep?
<@nosmo> I'm tempted to try out the killchan command
<@eoinmcl> www.netsoc.tcd.ie/~eoinmcl/img/couperc.jpg
<@evilmnky> Inky: did the mail go out aboutthe LaTeX talk?
<@evilmnky> couperc
<@Inky> evilmnky: nope, should I send one out now? To couperc and everyone else...
< KBKarma> evilmnky: There are posters, for the love of couperc!
< dalamar> KBKarma: but couperc might forget.
<@Inky> We must remind couperc
< KBKarma> That is true. Couperc would be most unhappy if he forgot.
< sdss> are you still doing the couperc thing?
< sdss> this couperc thing has to be the longest thing ever done on irc...
<@nosmo> not to mention the most unamusing after a while
< sdss> nosmo youre the only one that finds annoying couperc not enjoyable
<@nosmo> I never said that
< sdss> eoinmcl: where did you get the image of couperc...thats kind of scary
<@Inky> google couperc
< sdss> nosmo: but youve never said couperc in your sentence!
