Joii returns.
            KillJoy_ backspaces
  KillJoy_: *duck*
            Empress enters?
            Joii snickers.
  KillJoy_: Emp: No, you control.  ;)
      Joii: Ah, the mark of fine minds; bad puns.
   Empress: and you have no option
            Joii oohs, and alternates, then.
   Empress: I have to keep tabs on all of you
   Empress: cause you're a lot of shifty buggers
            KillJoy_ blinks a few times, spaces out.
            Joii snickers again.
   Empress: there is no escape
*** Signoff: Cygnata (Quit: shit... gotta go. BB tonight, I hope)
  KillJoy_: There's a whole mess of functions, though.
   Empress: of couse, political parties with much backslashing
            Joii winces.
            KillJoy_ shudders.  Personally I find most politicians to be a bunch
of colons.
   Empress: so thier children are semi-colons?
            Joii hms... That one's a stretch, definitely... I personally wish
they would all just go Home...
   Empress: can I quote you on that?
  KillJoy_: Sure, you can even insert some extra comments if you want.
            Joii answers the phone again.
   Empress: I'll have to talk to Tilda about that
   Empress: she has the right accent for it
   Empress: I think we're got the issue bracketed
  KillJoy_: I still thought it amusing when some joker went and locked their
caps in an empty room though.
   Empress: yeah, they all cleared out in a hurry
  KillJoy_: Yeah... that party just suddenly came to an end.
   Empress: there was no help for it.  
  KillJoy_: Hey no fair!  Macs get all sortsa weird keys!  Gimme a break here! 
=P
   Empress: we sent the page up, but they sent the page back down again
            Joii whimpers, hiding her head under her wings.
   Empress: so I told him to lock up the scrolls
   Empress: behind the printed screen
  KillJoy_: Good thing... I heard that there's been a rash of deletions.
      Joii: Feed pages carrots. ^.^
            Joii cannot properly compete; her mind won't twist that way. :P
   Empress: yeah, it's been equated with underscoring the political issues
      Joii: Or send him out with a bang!  (?)
  KillJoy_: Hey, do you know what the pound to dollar ratio is?
      Joii: #:$?
   Empress: I'm not certain of the correct percent there
  KillJoy_: A pity... I don't want to get f**ked buying some British stuff.
   Empress: you might want to check down at Ampersand's
            Joii cries.
      Joii: The humanity...
  KillJoy_: That the place with the two entheses?
   Empress: yeah, they're real straight arrows
*** Joii has set the topic on channel #constainia to WARNING:  Bad puns present.
 Do not enter without proper protective equipment.
            KillJoy_ pauses for a sip of water.
   Empress: no sense exclaiming about it
   Empress: I think I'll have a bit of tea
  KillJoy_: Well, I would like to get down there before the next lunar period.
   Empress: comma gain?
   Empress: personally, I think the German monetary system is questionable
  KillJoy_: Well, I'd hate to get there and find that the ratio had been
slashed.
  KillJoy_: True... I heard many of their workers had to go out on the queue.
   Empress: why was that?
  KillJoy_: I'm not precisely sure... maybe the alignment of the stars... maybe
they didn't have enough vitamin C.
   Empress: you'd think that they couldn't take too much more of that
   Empress: gee whiz.  they still owe me too
  KillJoy_: That's disheartening to hear.  Still, perhaps they can still make
their profits equal what they're spending.
   Empress: I'll have to dash over there and give them a piece of my mind.  plus
get the cash.
            Joii whimpers quietly, waiting for it to be over.
  KillJoy_: *nod*  Yes... I swear, some of those blokes need to have their heads
X-rayed.
   Empress: minus the hot air though.  you can't radiograph that.
            KillJoy_ sighs.  I'm willing to call this a draw if you are.  I need
to study for my chem test today so I don't get an F.  Besides, I fear we're
doing Joii permanent mental damage.
   Empress: I think that over all that would be a negative thing :)
   Empress: sure.
            Joii celebrates!
            KillJoy_ holds out his hand to her Empressness.  "Good match, your
eminence.  I feel if we went on much longer I would have been rendered into pea
soup."
            Empress extends her hand graciously.  Indeed, we would have both
been driven so batty as to be roosting in the ells
            Empress waits to spring this convo on zib ;)  "Fore!"
