But, tomorrow is Easter and the world has lost its mind...so fuck it, we're doing the show [13:33] that's reason enough [13:33] Though we may start a little late...the others are driving over now and traffic sucks today [13:33] * KaylaKaze has joined #NONPROPHETS [13:33] {{{{scarlett}}}} [13:33] traffic sucks here every day [13:34] ((((Np)))) [13:34] Lost it's mind...

[13:35] I sent an e-mail saying that monday night would work and gave my number [13:37] Hmmm, I bet it fell in with the hundreds of spam mails. I thought I had most of my friends protected - but one of MY OWN e-mails that I had cc'd to me, went straight to spam. Sorry :( [13:37] If you need a hand, I'll have some time later this afternoon [13:37] * Rogier is now known as Konradius [13:37] BRB -- have to check the laundry (I'm so domestic) [13:37] Okay, thanks [13:37] Its on the living room floor [13:38] Cool, I'm connected :-) [13:39] Pretty excited about joining live, have been listening to archived shows for about 3, 4 weeks now [13:41] music [13:41] [13:41] * Aerik has joined #NONPROPHETS [13:42] time to eat before the show starts' [13:43] haha I just did that [13:44] damn rush hour made an 18 minute trip into a 35 minute trip. glad I left early.

Damn americans! British/aussie people don't do that. [13:47] Scarlett, you're also known as Possummomma, right? I quite liked your daughters essay.

But really, I do notice that it's only americans and canadians that do it to me all the time. [13:50] could have something to do with the fact that an A, in front of eric isn't common [13:50] * Guest2012394 is now known as nullifidian [13:50] evening [13:50] I hear voices [13:50] or afternoon [13:51] so I just saved myself a few bucks by fixing my own office chair [13:51] I feel empowered [13:51] Mic checks done [13:51] I've passed the non-prophets stream/chat to 2 other chatrooms to see if I can bolster the audience [13:51] all right [13:52] Hm. I need to take a trip to the hardware store [13:52] I liked Russel's valley-speak [13:52] Non-Prophets: There's no mp3 for Sunday's Atheist Experience. :-( [13:52] I'm tuning into the stream right now [13:52] * Hortan has joined #NONPROPHETS [13:53] NoGods- there were some technical issues in recording the show [13:53] nogods -- there was but it was just 53 minutes of fuzz [13:53] * Stopper has joined #NONPROPHETS [13:53] hello [13:53] ok I cant hear anything [13:53] Well, that's no fun. :-( [13:53] hiya, rudeboy [13:53] stopper? [13:53] hey! [13:53] yep [13:53] It was a short show anyway. Mormons pre-empted the first half hour [13:53] long time no type [13:54] * zippyapparition has joined #NONPROPHETS [13:54] Godless Mormons! [13:54] Hortan... there's nothing to hear quite yet [13:54] Aerik reminded my channel that it's showtime [13:54] ah, cool [13:54] this is pretty much my hang out these days, too busy otherwise [13:54] dont need to stopper, they're trying to connect to the chat room right now [13:54] it's a pain not only with weird time zones but with summer time too :-) [13:55] Aerik, i meant, you can use that trigger, when needed [13:55] NOTE: We'll be starting the show in just a couple of minutes - we're silent now [13:55] i wont be able to stay for the show, i'm waiting for a friend [13:55] I'm too lazy to check out the timezones, so the show usually start at this time? [13:55] Yeah, UTC doesn't factor in summer time :-) [13:55] rad [13:55] Yes, 2 minutes from now [13:55] yes, every two weeks same time [13:56] you guys gotta remind me :P [13:56] well i suppose that's Aerik's job [13:56] I spent my week watching all the old Atheist Experience shows on Google Video [13:56] Stopper lol half the time I come into the show 30 late cuz my brain farts and tells me it starts at 2:30 [13:56] all of them? [13:56] the ones I hadn't listened to on mp3 anyway [13:56] yep [13:57] cripes [13:57] OK...listen up folks :) [13:57] last time I had a brain fart I blew out my ears... go figure [13:57] * Non-Prophets sets mode: +o scarlett [13:57] * Wes_in_Dallas has joined #NONPROPHETS [13:57] * maple has joined #NONPROPHETS [13:57] oops, volume too loud [13:57] Aw, poor maple in FTM has been spelling it "wikkidwire" for years and has never been able to connect [13:57] Ahoy hoy, people. [13:57] lol [13:57] oy [13:57] aw hehe Aerik [13:57] Scarlett is going to act as a sort of mod here. Just because I'm a slacker who doesn't have enough time to interact in chat [13:57] not years [13:57] but months [13:58] oh yeah, look, scarlett has ops :O [13:58] So, for today...as a test. If you really want to get the attention of someone on the show - let her know. [13:58] I hope I can make this work. I've never listened live before. [13:58] :) [13:58] Gracias [13:58] i used to listen live back in the day [13:58] So, Scarlett is wielding the Bakersfield widget, just in case we get out of line? [13:58] heck i used to mod the chat :P [13:59] * NoGods genuflects to the mighty scarlett. [13:59] is there still a 2 min delay? [13:59] oh yeah [13:59] 4 I'll kick some keister if I have to... but, I'm not all that tall, so if you're a big guy, you might have to kneel before I kick your ass [13:59] I'm getting intermittant blasts of fuzz [13:59] slight delay...starting now [13:59] musak! [13:59] Congrats. I've got nothing here. [13:59] just enough time fo rme to grab the last beer in the fridge [13:59] no sound here yet [14:00] Aerik wins the "virtually no delay" contest. Even my local connection isn't playing yet [14:00] * Neothe has joined #NONPROPHETS [14:00] Mmmm, static [14:00] woot [14:00] Music! [14:00] here we go [14:00] hey my audio just started [14:00] Ah, the music begins. [14:00] Here it is [14:00] Somehow, I feel very important now. ;) [14:00] non-prophets -- I set winamp to buffer 20 seconds, 20 seconds ahead on track change. My buffer is a glutton, suckin up data. [14:00] * NoGods tingles with antici..............................pation! [14:01] Matt, shoudl I resort to all caps or something?? To get your attention [14:01] Yeah...or in a PM [14:01] 4 ok [14:01] or with GTalk? [14:01] heh [14:01] inescapable? [14:01] ALmost like Orson Welles [14:02] is that sam the eagle? [14:02] Red works too :) And if it's important, you can call [14:02] Is he going to talk about Gallo brothers wine? [14:02] that would be a closer choice [14:02] this is all very dramatic... [14:02] This ... is CNN. [14:02] THis is your announcer... losing his voice [14:02] lol [14:02] "O Fortuna" should be playing underneath. [14:03] hey i know Lori Lipman Brown... [14:03] * Stopper coughs [14:03] dog and duck? [14:03] Sorry, but it's not possible to say "Dog and Duck" and sound cool. [14:03] DO I duck the dog or just cook the duck? [14:03] 4 very nice intro [14:03] This pompous voice makes "dog and duck" funny. [14:03] lol [14:03] and know this... [14:03] I'm listening to a podcast by a podperson? [14:03] MATT- JUST FYI, the opened pm through this chat forum is not working for me...it's a blank screen. [14:04] praise alliteration [14:04] someone's been taking the old fogey pills again... [14:04] Cool people do NOT say "check out". [14:04] * Dave63 has joined #NONPROPHETS [14:04] lol [14:04] okay, you can deconstrict your testes now [14:04] deconstruct? [14:04] constrict [14:04] * NoGods bows. [14:05] oh, those Austin boys are so silly [14:05] And I'll drink my Gallo Brox. red. [14:05] OK- no one else use red.... [14:05] ;) [14:05] TIme for me to get that last Milwaukee Light and knock it back [14:05] brb [14:05] heh the RRS took NYC Atheists' idea and promoted it as their own [14:05] boooo beer [14:05] because I'm a computer loser and can't get the PM feature to work [14:05] ;) [14:05] * Hamandche has joined #NONPROPHETS [14:06] " /msg message " [14:06] * Hamandche is now known as samuel [14:06] Aerik, she's using the java client [14:06] It must be terribly hard to read this while talking into a microphone about other things. [14:06] Actually, I think they just attributed it to RRS but on RRS's page, I don't think they take credit for it [14:06] wooooooooooot - new guests on the show [14:06] stopper: good point [14:06] KaylaKaze, they dont give Ken Bronstein the credt he deserves for spearheading the project [14:06] Sapient wouldnt have heard of it if not for me [14:07] Ken told everyone about it at the Heads summit in April [14:07] it is april [14:07] then he had to leave and i followed up [14:07] Hmm... may have got to buy/read a book [14:07] sorry, heh, i meant February [14:07] next next time [14:07] freudian typo [14:08] I need to get some food [14:08] I'm thinking of day-tripping down to Austin for the lecture and TV show on the 15th. [14:08] Is it worth the 4 hour drive? [14:08] oh that poor guy [14:09] Wes, is that when Lori is going to be there? you should go [14:09] Lori will be here on April 15th [14:09] I believe so. [14:09] sweet, dont miss it [14:09] she's the best speaker we have [14:09] I mostly want to see the TV show in production. [14:10] That's easy [14:10] Our fearless leader (here locally) used to get the CD to be shown on our local access. [14:10] used to? He's been slacking? ;) [14:10] McCaulen vs BOE [14:10] They said they would, but they scheduled it for 2am and possibly never opened the CDs at all. She (our leader) gave up. [14:11] stools? lol [14:11] lol @ zoidberg woops [14:11] Bah...there I go being sexist. [14:11] You, Matt? Sexist? ;) [14:12] sexist, or sexyist [14:12] No biggy. Constant recognition of political correctness is damned annoying. And exhausting. [14:12] indeed [14:12] I thought Harry Potter was the most influential book ever written? [14:12] I'm getting a headache [14:13] Don't think it's sold that often. It has been given away quite often... [14:13] I also thought Harry Potter was up there with the selling of the Bible [14:13] (the bible) [14:13] Voldemort/Rove in 2008! [14:13] lol Wes [14:13] lol [14:13] hehee [14:13] I'm wary of the Bible "selling" claims. It may be highly distributed, but how many people buy it? [14:13] 4If we're going to teach based solely on majority of readers, does this mean we need to teach Harry Potter? [14:13] of course he'll run under the name Tom Riddle [14:13] and mills & boon [14:14] more to the point. There are people -- like Richard Mellon Skaith 9sp?) -- who buy huge volumes of books to inflate the numbers of sales [14:14] Stole that from a bumper sticker here. "Republicans for Voldemort." [14:14] is it fair to say it's the most sold book when there's like 500 different versions and they're just adding those together as the same book? [14:14] * Neothe has quit IRC (Neothe) [14:14] That as well [14:14] christian sects do that too [14:14] It would be hard for someone to get elected, if it's taboo to say his name [14:14] 2 billion of the sods in 9000 sects [14:14] quite [14:15] What happens to the books they buy? Is this why Half-price is flooded with Limbaugh and Hannity? [14:15] sods? crazy, can I replace them with my used up lawn? [14:15] i'm british, i use weird archaic vernacular [14:15] substitute with "gits" if it helps :-) [14:15] I'm American. And I love the old vernacular [14:15] 4 yes it does become obvious to students when religious teaching is in the curriculum. This is what the lemon test and that other test (applied in the dover trial) are all about! [14:16] Oh, I hit me bonce [14:16] lol [14:16] I'm repeatedly disgusted by how many teachers are borderline fundies. [14:16] * AiW has joined #NONPROPHETS [14:17] A teacher would have to be prepared to allow a debate [14:17] and we all know what Christians hate most [14:17] learning shit [14:17] We're not supposed to talk about it, but I can't resist sometimes. [14:17] lol [14:17] 4 Don't you see the irony that saying that Christians have been doin something "since the dawn of time" presupposes a Genesis timeline? [14:17] sicne the dawn of time? [14:17] * NoGods is annoyed that he hasn't been able to drink once, yet! [14:17] AERIK- why the red? [14:17] time dawned. and now the rest of the story... [14:17] -> And compare the jesus stories with stories from BC [14:18] Whe they ask what church I go to, I say, "Oh, I'm not very superstitous." [14:18] scarlett -- because red text = questions for the hosts [14:18] they've been arguing about the NT for millions of years BC [14:18] They're not reading the chat.... [14:18] the true value of pie is in the eating of it [14:18] Mmmm, 3.141592... [14:18] scarlett -- and yet they repeatedly laugh about things being said in the chat room.... [14:19] Mmmm, coconut creme... [14:19] heh [14:19] As stated earlier, they're down a person... so, if you want a note passed, I can pass it.... [14:19] then the red is still necessary [14:20] I'm confusing the voices. Who said the Bible is "one of the best arguments for atheism". [14:20] Me - Matt [14:20] everybody, wes. everybody. [14:20] lol [14:20] thx [14:20] :) [14:20] Also, if I said dawn of time...then that's just old prejudice slipping in, but it's a metaphor that doesn't really bother me. :) [14:21] uh huh, sure, Matt [14:21] lol [14:21] Maybe they were still in Orson Welles mode. [14:21] I'd settle for the bronze age myth book myself [14:21] If you wanted to be an ass about it, you could point out that time is a man-made construct and therefore didn't exist before man [14:21] or clocks [14:22] or sundials [14:22] especially digital watches [14:22] my watch would be tempted to argue about that... heh heh heh [14:22] Time existed. We only invented the idea of measuring it. Or the need to. [14:22] That's also untrue I bet, bestsellers will sell better than the bible [14:22] If the bible is going to be taught at all I suggest a literary class right alone with the odessy and shakespears sonnets [14:22] Wes, its arguable, but that would be a very pretentious argument. I do more or less agree though [14:23] A friend of mine suggests that in 1000 years there will be a cult worshipping Elvis, a great man who died but continued to be seen around the country. [14:23] * hamal has joined #NONPROPHETS [14:23] elvis, the original bigfoot [14:23] The bible shouldn't be taught on it's own like that. Or it should have a preq. class with more than 1 religion [14:23] i dunno, harry potter doesn't claim to be a work of moral instruction, etc. [14:23] Bigfoot, the original elvis. [14:23] I hate it when somebody keeps talking about how the bible is a beautiful work. It's not. It's quality of prose is really quite pathetic as far as I'm concerned, even/especially for it's time. [14:24] is that a shylock nose? [14:24] Buy a nose? [14:24] bigfoot has left the building [14:24] By a heel [14:24] The bible isn't even good literature, in most cases [14:24] "there's no adjectives in here" YES! exactly [14:24] influential, yes. well written, hardly [14:25] Dan Brown writes better than what's found in the bible [14:25] lol [14:25] car chases? [14:25] "Whether great good or great evil, can't be sure. But great, yes, indeed" [14:25] Choose-your-own Bible Adventures... [14:25] Although, you do see beatings and towns being burned to the ground [14:25] chariot races ;-) [14:25] naw, it'd be chariot chases [14:25] Dan Brown has car chases [14:25] iron ones [14:25] ah, there's the irony [14:25] I grew up with the Catholic Bible in Pictures. I thought it was a big comic book. [14:26] teach the brick testament [14:26] lol [14:26] far more interesting [14:26] some do [14:26] I am still a fan of the cosmic muffin [14:26] i have to go, i'm having company [14:26] later stopper [14:26] bye all [14:27] * Stopper has left #NONPROPHETS (Closed channel.) [14:27] Hello from the Netherlands, first time listening live :) [14:27] scourged? [14:27] it'd be interesting to find out if the word scourge meant something bad [14:27] "scourge" -- cat'a'nine-tails.. except worse [14:27] hello hamal [14:27] I say it to rhyme with "urge". [14:27] maybe "sourge" just meant something like, "they licked him" [14:27] wow two listeners from the Netherlands [14:27] ;) [14:27] neat. [14:27] ?? Who's the other? [14:27] I am :-) [14:27] I got scourged when I tried to fix my office chair [14:27] they discussed this on an old ep of ae [14:27] was that then a religious torture [14:28] Can I use the Bible to justify scourging my bank teller for excessive fees? [14:28] can I sue someone? [14:28] So, kiddies.... now we all know what to ask for in our Easter Baskets [14:28] Scourging, yeah, that's a message of love... [14:28] I want my own scourge [14:28] Speaking of excessive fees, my friggin bank just hit me with 24%, the bastards [14:28] I hate BoA [14:29] I have UMB [14:29] God is in our computers... AHHHHHHHHHHH! [14:29] Gawd damn it! [14:29] does cash in heaven have "in me i trust" on it? [14:29] heheh [14:29] still have my savings account from when I was 10 at the Kansas City Bank. [14:29] is heaven cash or credit? [14:29] Welkom, Hamal. [14:29] There are no clown cars in the Bible [14:29] Job was funny [14:29] "In God We Trust"--sounds like credit. [14:29] Or do they barter harps and angels feathers? [14:29] Dank je wel Wes :) [14:29] Leviticus, the Andrew Dice Clay of the Bible. [14:29] lol [14:30] nogods -- that's why we need the Trust Busters again [14:30] the zipperhead chapter of the bible [14:30] Hey, does anyone here know what happened to the audio portion of the last TV show? [14:30] hindu? Hindon't? [14:30] Juliet died for Shakespeare...over, and over, and over, in middle school plays across the world [14:30] hamal -- the mp3 file was majorly corrupt. 53 minutes of fuzz. they removed it. [14:30] Juliet was a attention whore [14:31] This morning I listed to a show from May 2006. [14:31] Juliet needed prozac and some counselling...quite the permiscuous 14 year old [14:31] the tart [14:31] The first 30 mins. were missing, which was odd because they were talking about data mining and the NSC. [14:31] oops, gotta run the laundry into the dryer [14:31] BRB [14:31] I would like them to teach science/math and critical thinking [14:32] Russel just got spanked. LOL [14:32] I taught Romeo and Juliet as proof that 14-year-olds should not be allowed to make major decisions alone. [14:32] indians have kabbaddi too [14:32] Any religion with elephant and monkey gods--you've got to like that! [14:32] And now the monkey and the elephant fight for my amusement... [14:32] * Dave63_2 has joined #NONPROPHETS [14:32] * Dave63 has quit IRC (Connection reset by peer) [14:33] joan of arc the wife of noah? lmao [14:33] Not married. Sodom and Gomorrah were living in sin. [14:34] Good one Wes :-) [14:34] Sally does Soddom [14:34] LOL [14:34] I think Bill Donahue is more concerned by the fact that chocolate jesus looks black than the fact that it's candy [14:35] Mmmmmmmmmmmmm [14:35] Jesussssss [14:35] "anatomically correct" just means that it has genitals and a butt crack in the first place. [14:35] "I don't care if it rains or freezes" [14:35] Does he have a creamy filling??? [14:35] maybe it's white chocolate [14:35] the last left behind book is out, and it's the very last one [14:35] thank god [14:35] Did Chef from South park do the private parts? [14:35] lol [14:35] Was Jesus CIRCUMCISED? [14:35] Sure--it's a Catholic holy day. [14:35] wouldnt it be ironic if the sculptor got that wrong lol [14:35]
