...and the Tavern was silent.
@xkcdBot: Get me a conversation-starter.
!xkcd latest
So...how about those drones?
@AstroCB Sure. Say, drone, can I have a pizza?
!!/blame
@James It's Doorknob's fault.
00:13
:'(
!xkcd blame
@AstroCB It's Frank's fault.
That seems more plausible.
A doorknob and a tree... your bots are all speciesist.
They never blame humans.
I don't know what just happened, but right now, I'm getting the ping sound endlessly in the background.

It's not stopping.
@devs Fix this, please.
@AstroCB, false alarm
@James That made it stop.
!xkcd blame
@AstroCB It's tchrist's fault.
ping @AstroCB
00:16
THAT TRIGGERS IT.
Why?
@AstroCB HI!
Someone do !xkcd blame and tell me if it does endless pings.
!xkcd blame
@hichris123 It's ASCIIThenANSI's fault.
00:17
I have no idea, then.
!xkcd blame
@AstroCB It's Doorknob's fault.
status-you-broke-it
Now, there's no ping at all.
Check your speakers.
@xkcdBot No it's not
00:18
Do any devs work on chat?
Perhaps you muted them. Or maybe they blew out due to the mass of pings.
@AstroCB balpha occasionally.
@hichris123 Pings are back.
!xkcd blame
@AstroCB It's Ian Kemp's fault.
@AstroCB Dee-da-doo-da Dee-da-doo-da Dee-da-doooooooo-da-de-da-daaaaaaa…
Well, that's definitely what sets it off.
00:18
(mi mi mi do, mi mi mi do, do mi so---- so fa me re;)
I thought we were going Jeopardy-ing here...
The only thing that stops it is another ping or a refresh.
@hichris123 doo deeeee doo deeeee doo deeee dooooooo...
note to himself: do not refresh the chat room
self, not himself
00:20
@Doorknob Jeopardy was just on ~25 minutes ago, so...

Does anyone in here have an opinion of internet filtering in public schools that they'd be willing to share in the form of an interview within a chat room?
Thanks to all who participated – I got a 54/56 on the project that that was a component of.
00:23
What project?
I'm amazed that my teacher accepted you all as a reputable source...

Apr 20 at 19:50, by AstroCB
@Andy I'm compiling a list of sources for a school project from which a person can take information and synthesize an argument; one of those sources is an interview.
user259867
@AstroCB How did you cite the transcript?
@Yes You just triggered an endless ping with that edit.
we too, @AstroCB, we too
@AstroCB (which was probably not the best idea)
00:26
@AstroCB What do you mean? I'm a totally reputable random man on the internet. I am a Nigerian prince I'll have you know.

"Undo" [A], "Mooseman" [B], and "bjb568" [C]. "Web Filtering in Public Schools." Online interview. 20 Apr. 2015. <http://chat.meta.stackexchange.com/rooms/855/web-filtering-in-public-schools>.
This interview was conducted between members of Stack Overflow, a site for programmers. The interviewees all have experience with web software and development, and they are quite familiar with the online tools used for filtering. While their pseudonymous identities may seem to detract from their credibility, a quick glance at the content they have published on the site will quickly dismiss

@AstroCB Indeed, for only $50,000 USD you could potentially make an African blood diamond. Only if you let me fix your malware infestation with pancurium bromide before I seduce your grandmother and travel forward in time so you can be rich quick with the Testo-o-boost 9000

@bjb568 is good that I didn't participate...
@James Don't forget to forward this to 10 people so you can become a wizard!
@James i can haz nike gamer coinz?
@AstroCB, my collegue @ASCIIThenANSI, has just reminded me of our special offer, redemeemable for one spherical chicken in the Large Hardon Collider
00:34
@James Ooh, I want a spherical chicken! How do I sign up?
I have returned.
All you have to do is immediately jump off the Empire State Building, and land in Scotland and your Spherical cow will be posted by first class IPvCP mail
*IP v Carrier Pigeon
@James OK.
It's at times like this, I wonder how I come up with this random crap
fires portal in Scotland
2
fires portal onto street
00:36
Then I go back to snorting MSG off a hookers tummy
jumps off Empire State building into portal
flies out into Scotland
@ASCIIThenANSI YOU'RE THE LOCH NESS MONSTER!!!
IT EXPLAINS EVERYTHING
closes both portals and lands safely on friend's mattress
@James There. I did what you said. Problem?
@ASCIIThenANSI You will have one Spherical cow to you by first class carrier pigeon
It might take a while, see once we strap the pigeon to the cow, the cow has to wander to you of it's own accord
00:38
@James OK. Where's the shipping facility; I've still got the portalgun.
@ASCIIThenANSI Bahahahaha
You're too smart for me
!xkcd blame
@James It's derobert's fault.
You heard xkcdBot. We'll send him to the sun.
!xkcd blame
@ASCIIThenANSI It's Jon Ericson's fault.
Jon will be the one to do it.
00:41
Quick the lights are off in the office, I need something funny to say about the subject
a pun of some kind
user259867

@James And now, suddenly, all the jokes in my brain are gone.

@bjb568 Found it.

@bjb568 Oh the hookers' tummy

oh, I see
@bjb568 Plurality agreement fail.
00:47
@bjb568 Ya bro, dis iz da internet'z. U bettr lern 2 use you're grammer and speling rite.

@ChrisJester-Young oh, then remove the "a"
Obviously there are multiple hookers.
@ASCIIThenANSI You deserve a scholarship of English Literature for that sentence alone
@bjb568 Then it'd be tummies, not tummy. :-P
that too
!bjb Yeah bro, this is the internets. You better learn to use your grammar and spelling right.
Speaking of being anal-retentive, it's time I spent more time on Code Review SE....
00:49
yeeeh bro, dis iz the internetz. u better leeern to use yur grammar n spelling right. [translated]
@James I wonder what happens when all the stuff we say becomes 400-500 years old and people count it as the classics.
@ChrisJester-Young Me too
@bjb568 good enough
Seriously, I'm probably a future Shakespeare.
@bjb568 close enough
!bjb Butcher this sentence.
00:51
butcher dis sentence. [translated]
@ASCIIThenANSI I'd be the infamous "hard to analyze" kitteh
!bjb I wonder what happens when all the stuff we say becomes 400-500 years old and people count it as the classics. Maybe this sentence is the start of a new era of literature.

@AstroCB That's it. Let's play StackExchanges and Data Exploration.
@ASCIIThenANSI Is that like Snakes and Ladders?
00:59
@James No. It's like D&D (or SE&DE), but in the Tavern.
You are browsing the internet and accidentally find a site called Stack Overflow. You decide to create an account.
goes to character creation
What do you do next?
@ASCIIThenANSI Like DD?
@AndrewT. By the way, unless you Nat 20 your Intelligence roll, when creating a new character, you get an intelligence of 4
@James rant on meta

@James you mean that nobody gets Nat 20
@Braiam I mean that only 1/20th of new SO users display an Int score above 4

@James But my primary weapon is my editing staff, which I use to fix questions with minor errors.
@ASCIIThenANSI chaotic good?
@JanDvorak Sure.
What would help vamp feeders be? Chaotic neutral?
Let's see how long this game lasts. Aaaand... go! (ping me when it ends)
01:08
@JanDvorak Neutral Evil
Perhaps do that in a new chat room, otherwise GM No. may flip the table.
because they are doing bad things for personal gain
@James They don't come to cause harm, do they?
Doing something bad for personal gain, means they must be some kind of evil
or just misguided
01:09
depends how you RP it
Then there are outright trolls, which are lawful evil
True
because youtube comments don't have permalinks
@AstroCB, has your endless pinging stopped?

Or I guess we could just downvote the answers...
Hello Tavern?
@hichris123 answer with 3 2 upvotes should just be removed, is a comment
other answers aren't better...
Just downvote.™
Where's @JasonC been?
user259867
@hichris123 Jason's activity is sharply cyclical; I suppose much depends on how busy he is with his clients' projects.
@hichris123 ^ and creating a VR Tavern for the next mod election.
heh
@Yes Yeah, what if the Tavern became one of Jason's clients?

02:08
I've gotten two Reversal badges on M.SO in the past week.
Heh, I'm actually pretty close to a reversal. Still not sure why the question was downvoted that much, but...
@hichris123 Super busy. It's this time of year, tons of short deadline projects.
@JasonC Can we become one of your clients?
@AstroCB He's also the master of getting... reversalled... data.stackexchange.com/meta.stackoverflow/query/300255/…
@hichris123 If you have money and a fun project, sure.
02:18
@JasonC Make a chatbot that accurately mimics bjb. Would $1 be a fair price?
;)
Also I've been sick, or allergies or something, for like a week. It's been killing my motivation to do anything during free time, like SO. I think my headache is going on 72 hours straight now.
I already made that bot, I usually run it as my sock, bjb568.

Not worth $1.
heh.
@JasonC Ever heard of painkillers?
@hichris123 he's a naturist
and somehow my spellchecker is changed to spanish... wtf
"Spanish (Cuba)" well, at least is near
^ I am, a little. But this headache is painkiller proof. At least over-the-counter. I'm having better luck with things to get rid of sinus pressure. Afrin works great but you can't really use it for a long time. Cold showers have somehow been helping.
But it's easier just to curl up under the covers and cry.
@LynnCrumbling Thanks!
02:22
With your cat sock (bjb) under the covers with you, @JasonC?
Hiya @jadarnel27! :)
No.
Wait. Maybe.
Thanks, you've confused me.
@hichris123 Howdy!
@JasonC Go back under the covers then. :P
@jadarnel27 How your life been?
I think I will. Peace.
@Braiam I thought everybody’s was that way. :)

Thumbprint by Eve Merriam

In the heel of my thumb
are whorls, whirls, wheels
in a unique design:
mine alone.
What a treasure to own!
My own flesh, my own feelings.
No other, however grand or base,
can ever contain the same.
My signature,
thumbing the pages of my time.
My universe key,
my singularity.
Impress, implant,
I am myself,
Of all my atom parts I am the sum.
And out of my blood and my brain
I make my own interior weather,
My own sun and rain.
Imprint my mark upon the world,
whatever I shall become.
(see full text)
lolwut?
It's your damn thumb! Get a grip, woman…
I am myself
