21:11 <@aestuo> < used to write star wars fanfic
21:12 <@mdxi> aestuo: are you also a nazi furry cosplayer boba fett?
21:12 <@aestuo> no
21:12 <@mdxi> aestuo: good. very good.
21:13 <@solios> I wrote an FF fanfic once.*

21:13 <@solios> when FFIV still had the new car smell.

21:14 <@mdxi> Cecil was very angry. Gosh darnin, this isn't right, said Cecil. Too bad, said the king. Kweeee-hee-hee-hee! Now go get me some crystals! Poop, said Cecil.

21:15 <@solios> this was born out of my failure to grok an archipelago smaller than the japanese island chain as an entire PLANET.
21:15 <@mdxi> "Come here," said Rydia, lips pouty and wet, "and show me why they call you 'Red Wings'"

13:38 < xeno> Hillary Transue did not have an attorney, nor was she told of her right to one, when she appeared in Ciavarella's courtroom in 2007 for building a MySpace page that lampooned her assistant principal.
13:38 < xeno> Ciavarella sentenced her to three months; she got out after a month, with help from a lawyer.
13:38 < xeno> O_O
