Freenode: #dreamwidth-bitch & #defocus: religion, cooking, Facebook, bacon

Some snippets from today in which I am both wise and witty, and so are people around me

1/28/2012 #dreamwidth-bitch on Freenode

(previous conversation mentioning some of [personal profile] inoru_no_hoshi's beliefs)

[22:01] <Clifstan> I usually find it interesting to find out the shape of what people think and why they think what they do
[22:01] <Clifstan> and I'm sure there's more that's interesting about the shape of your perspective
[22:02] <Clifstan> although I probably shouldn't inquire about it right now, since it's getting late
[22:03] * Azz is pagan and recognizes Jesus as a fellow practitioner of magic-and-sensibility, but not as a firm authority
[22:04] * shadowspar is profoundly interested in religion, but hasn't been a practicing member of any formal faith group since around 7th grade
[22:04] <Azz> (and I take written documents of religion as transcription of someone's religious experience, but also not necessarily authority)
[22:04] <Clifstan> ok
[22:04] <Azz> (religious books as the qdb of religious experience, as it were)
[22:04] <Clifstan> that's an understandable perspective
[22:04] <DW-Drew> shadowspar: has to be formal?
[22:04] <shadowspar> being exposed to the Japanese take on religious practice for lay people in 12th grade changed my perspective a lot
[22:05] <DW-Drew> Azz, that is the BEST explanation I have ever heard


1/28/2012 #defocus on Freenode
([personal profile] ttuttle mentioned that it would be a good idea to have some Known Excellent folks in there to raise the general conversational level, so a few of us went on over.)


[22:09] <+Rainne> Maybe a waffle would be nice.
[22:09] * +Ttech throws Rainne a waffle
[22:10] <+bazhang> with bacon
[22:10] * +Rainne noms the waffle
[22:11] <+Rainne> Yeah. A waffle sounds good right now. With chocolate and peanut butter. Back in a bit....
[22:11] *** Rainne is now known as Rainne|Waffle
[22:11] <+Azz> ooo, bacon
[22:12] <+dax> Apparently there's a crêpe place around here somewhere. I should find it.
[22:12] * +Ttech creeps
[22:12] <+ttuttle> ooh, crepes.
[22:12] * +ttuttle <3 smoked salmon crepes
[22:12] <+Azz> bacon. which is on sale this week.
[22:12] <+ttuttle> or nutella
[22:12] <+Ttech> ttuttle, they make salmon crepes?
[22:12] <+ttuttle> yeah
[22:12] <+Ttech> whoa
[22:12] * +Azz comes back to the whole going-shopping thing
[22:12] <+ttuttle> both of my usual crepe places make ones with salmon
[22:13] <+Azz> salmon and what else?
[22:13] <+ttuttle> dill and creme fraiche
[22:13] <+Azz> smoked, cooked, or sushi-grade?
[22:13] <+ttuttle> smoked
[22:13] <+Azz> with or without capers?
[22:14] * +Azz studying to become a lay foodie
[22:14] <+ttuttle> no capers
[22:14] <+ttuttle> oh, and lemon
[22:14] <+Azz> (sort of like a lay minister except my bible is The Joy of Cooking)
[22:14] <+ttuttle> :D
[22:14] <+ttuttle> Azz: <3
[22:15] <+ttuttle> Azz: I would worship at your church.
[22:15] <+Azz> normally they call such churches "restaurants", & I'm not quite dedicated enough to set one of those up
[22:16] <+ttuttle> I will camp out on your lawn :3
[22:16] *** Rainne|Waffle is now known as Rainne
[22:17] *** Inoru has joined #defocus
[22:17] <+Rainne> Eggo waffles with chocolate and peanut butter chips.
[22:18] <+Azz> ttuttle: no lawn. Would you settle for a crappy patio with intermittent sand, rain, and snails?
[22:18] <+ttuttle> sure
[22:19] <+Rainne> mmmm, pre-escargot.
[22:20] <+Azz> I can also provide wind chimes and a really unhappy potted ... uh. Name escapes me. It is green, used as an herb, and has tiny blue flowers, and is one of the components of my ass-kicking nose-and-throat tisane.
[22:20] <+Rainne> Azz, why is it unhappy?
[22:20] <+Inoru> Rainne: ...I don't wanna know.
[22:20] <+Rainne> Inoru, about the escargot?
[22:20] <+Azz> Because I haven't pruned it in a while and I tend to forget it's there.
[22:20] <+Rainne> Good reason.


[22:48] <+Azz> they do seem to have explicitly made "and show this entity on my newsfeed" a thing that is separate under friendship.

[22:49] <+Azz> so I happily can avoid the people I used to hang out with and still ostensibly like who have since developed the sort of odious political views that would probably touch off a flamewar if explicitly enumerated in a channel containing non-likeminded folks.



[22:56] *** Azz is now known as Azz|seeksbacon
[22:56] <+Rainne> BRING ME SOME BACON.
[22:57] <+Azz|seeksbacon> yeah, i'll just stuff that through my router
[22:57] <+Rainne> Do that.
[22:57] <+Azz|seeksbacon> what kind of packets does that go into?
[22:57] <+Rainne> XD
[22:57] <+Rainne> BACON PACKETS.
[22:57] <+dax> and this is how the series of tubes get clogged
[22:57] <+Ttech> haha dax.
[22:57] <+Rainne> We're gonna need an internet plunger.

That's truly a shame. :O I'm trying to plot a way to get smoked salmon on the next shopping list, now... :D
