The Guardian for this meeting was Agatha Macbeth. The comments are by Agatha Macbeth.  Seems SL was having some technical difficulties today, which accounts for the strange goings-on during the session.

Bruce Mowbray restrains himself from slappig his typist.
Bruce Mowbray: slapping*
Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
Qt Core: wondering how good it would be added to my terrible accent ;-)
Bruce Mowbray ponders southern Ohio accents.
Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Melody!
Bruce Mowbray: Bye, Ari!
Qt Core: we need something like an usb port on our skull... not so different from what na'vis have
Arisia Vita: not bye
Arisia Vita: just a hug for my friend
Bruce Mowbray: (((( Ari)))
Bruce Mowbray: OH wonderful, you are staying!
Bruce Mowbray: I was thinking (feeling, actually) about how we "listen."
Bruce Mowbray: I have been listening to the grass, and the leaves, today -- as the rains came crashing into them.
  --BELL--1300
Bruce Mowbray: but the rains have been gentle.
Bruce Mowbray: The remnants of hurrican Isaac.
Bruce Mowbray: hurricane*
Bruce Mowbray: Now spent of their ferocity.,
Bruce Mowbray: So comforting to me today.
Bruce Mowbray: especially after a long summer of dought.
Bruce Mowbray: frought*
Bruce Mowbray: drought*
Qt Core: the rain wasn't so gentle today around here, but still nothing compared to an hurricane
Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
Bruce Mowbray: Thunderstorms,m QT?
Qt Core: strangely only rain, i expected bolts and thunder but none
Bruce Mowbray: ;-)
Arisia Vita: welcome Nazzy
Bruce Mowbray: wb, Melody.
mrsnazzy844 Resident: Hi Ari :D
Bruce Mowbray: I try to listen to the rain as the grass and the leaves listen to it.
Qt Core: in a couple day temps drobbed some 15 degree, (good for sleeping)
Bruce Mowbray: ahhhh!
Qt Core: dropped*
Bruce Mowbray: This is the season for up and down temps, for sure.
Bruce Mowbray: How are you today, Melody?
Melody1778 Resident: I am good, it is my birthday
Arisia Vita: a special day
Bruce Mowbray: AHHHH! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!
Qt Core: sometimes when you speak about all the nature you live in i try to find the corresponding "urban" event ;-)
Melody1778 Resident: thank you
Qt Core: happy birthday MellowDee!
Melody1778 Resident: nice to be with friends on my birthday
Bruce Mowbray: The corresponding urban event. . . to forests receiving the embrace of the gentle rains.
Bruce Mowbray: So good to have you with us on your special day, Melody.
Bruce Mowbray: Urban parks, perhaps?
Qt Core: to the sound of rain on grass... the sound of car wheels on wet roads... sometimes they quite sad comarison ;-)
Bruce Mowbray: hmmmm.
Bruce Mowbray listens.
Qt Core: are*
Bruce Mowbray: Strange thing: When I go to New York, I tell my friend that I'm going there for the peace and quiet.
Bruce Mowbray: friends*
Melody1778 Resident: New York?
Melody1778 Resident: lol
Qt Core: after all i lived all my life in a city, in the suburbs but still an urban space (lately with a little more green)
Bruce Mowbray: and this is true.
Bruce Mowbray: Hmmmm.
Bruce Mowbray: Yeah, 12 trips to NYC in the past 6 years -- and another coming up next month, Melody.
Bruce Mowbray: There is a difference sort of "silence" there.
Qt Core: well, being so big if you know where to search i think you can find everything there, even quiet
Bruce Mowbray: Hmmmm. Yes!
Qt Core: like SL ;-)
Bruce Mowbray: and in the big city, the quiet is clearly palatable and valued.
Melody1778 Resident: I prefer Massachusetts
Melody1778 Resident: trees and open space
Bruce Mowbray: 1 ;-)
Bruce Mowbray: !
Agatha Macbeth: Bonsoir :)
Qt Core: the small streets where car go only if they have to go there not when using it to go somewhere else ?
Arisia Vita: welcome Aggers
Bruce Mowbray: I live in a forest -- where silence is a whole different thing -- and actually it is almost never "silent" n a forest.
Bruce Mowbray: Hey, aggers!
Qt Core: Hi Agatha
Agatha Macbeth: Do you hear a tree if it falls? :p
Wol Euler: evening all
Arisia Vita: welcome Wol!
Agatha Macbeth: Wollie ♥
Bruce Mowbray: The whole forest hears the falling tree.
Qt Core: hi Wol
Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Wol!
Bruce Mowbray: Listen with the ears of the forest, and you will hear it too.

Agatha Macbeth strokes Blub
Bruce Mowbray: Blub loves it!
Agatha Macbeth: Fishy pal
Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Zon-ji!
Agatha Macbeth: Wonder what species he is?
Zon Kwan: heya
Agatha Macbeth: Hi Zon
Qt Core: Hi Zon
Bruce Mowbray: (7S) Uncommon Fish: Papa Flame Angel Blue
Wol Euler: I infer that Storm has changed the land settings here to prohibit people from littering the Playgoda
Agatha Macbeth: Hmm
Melody1778 Resident: bye everyone, sorry, I can't stay today
Melody1778 Resident: but must go celebrate my birthday
Bruce Mowbray: Bye, Melody!
Melody1778 Resident: it only comes once a yer\ar
Wol Euler: bye mell, happy birthday!

(Subsequent events proved Storm had in fact done no such thing....:D)
Qt Core: bye Mellow and have fun!
Melody1778 Resident: bye
Agatha Macbeth: C ya Mel
Wol Euler: yes, but it also prevents me from rezzing your birthday cake :(
Agatha Macbeth: Bummer

Bruce poofs
Agatha Macbeth: Aww, lost Brucie
Wol Euler: whose session is this, actually?
Agatha Macbeth: Is it Bruce? Not sure

Agatha Macbeth: Hope he comes back then
Wol Euler: heheh
Zon Kwan: must run cya
Wol Euler: bye zon, take care
Agatha Macbeth: What does the wiki say?
Qt Core: bye Zon
Agatha Macbeth: Bye Zon
Wol Euler: "guardian requested"
Agatha Macbeth: Oh
Agatha Macbeth: In that case...

/me claims it
Wol Euler: my god, 9 out of 28 sessions have no guardian.
Agatha Macbeth: We seem to have a few open ones these days
Qt Core: will we ever have a guardian called guardian requested ?
Wol Euler: I had no idea it was that bad
Agatha Macbeth: Snap
Agatha Macbeth: WB Brucie
Wol Euler: wb bruce
Agatha Macbeth: (and Blub)
Bruce Mowbray: WHOA! I tried to build something and not only got knocked out of SL but also knocked out of connection with my ISP. I'd say that Stormy means business here!
Agatha Macbeth: Erk
Agatha Macbeth: That smacks of overkill I would think
Bruce Mowbray: a precursor of what's to come with Romney/Ryan?
Wol Euler: and yet the group info says we should be able to build .... must be a SL bug
Agatha Macbeth: Let me try
Bruce Mowbray: kk.
Bruce Mowbray listens with eager ears.

I rez a prim with no problems
Agatha Macbeth: There ya go
Wol Euler: huh
Agatha Macbeth: Ta da
Bruce Mowbray sees no build yet.
Wol Euler: all right, so there is a birthday cake after all ♥

             
Agatha Macbeth: Ooh
Agatha Macbeth: TY ♥
Bruce Mowbray: AHHH!
Bruce Mowbray: I see it!
Bruce Mowbray: chocolate and stawberries!
Bruce Mowbray: yum yum.
Wol Euler grins.
Wol Euler: dig in
Agatha Macbeth gets a shovel
Bruce Mowbray: kk.
Agatha Macbeth: Funny how it makes you stand up tho
  --BELL--1345
Agatha Macbeth sees a script error
Agatha Macbeth: That's odd now I'm not eating :(
Wol Euler remembers and smiles. I got this 96 days ago for your 1000th day in SL
Agatha Macbeth: Aha
Wol Euler: that was probably the script error you saw
Bruce Mowbray: Ha Ha!
Agatha Macbeth: Many anniversaries eh
Bruce Mowbray: What are you eating,m aggers?
Agatha Macbeth: Only lets you eat standing up....weird
Wol Euler nods.
Agatha Macbeth: Wol's cake
Bruce Mowbray: and Wol?
Agatha Macbeth: Ditto
Bruce Mowbray: kk. Appropriate.
Agatha Macbeth smiles
Wol Euler: that is what I remembered :/ I was running out of time, it was a compromise between this odd eating anim and the excellent appearance
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Bruce Mowbray: choices choices....
Bruce Mowbray: Hey, Derm!!!!
Agatha Macbeth: Hiya Erlik
Wol Euler: hello erlik
Qt Core: may it be out of respect for the incredible taste ?
Wol Euler: perhaps that :)
Agatha Macbeth: Well you can't knock the appearance certainly
Qt Core: hi Erlik
Bruce Mowbray goes to look for gas mask in solidarity with Derm.
Agatha Macbeth: I'm good, how are you?
Bruce Mowbray: Excellent, ty!
Agatha Macbeth: Ah good
Wol Euler: glad to hear it
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, I know you were havingh some pains yesterday -- Good to hear you're feeling better now.
Qt Core: but then you could not eat, Bruce
Bruce Mowbray: Steak has been consumed already, thanks.
Bruce Mowbray: OHHH!
Bruce Mowbray: OUCH!
Agatha Macbeth: Must be the cake
Wol Euler: a likely story
Bruce Mowbray: Yes, blame the cake, indeed.
Agatha Macbeth: No Luke *I* am your father!
Wol Euler chuckles.
Bruce Mowbray: Gas masks come in handy, that's for sure.
Bruce Mowbray ponders adolescent humor.
Agatha Macbeth: CO2 anyone?
Bruce Mowbray dies from laughing....
Agatha Macbeth dies from laughing....

And sadly at this point we lost Bruce totally
Wol Euler: heheheeh, it really did kill him
Qt Core: yeah, from laughing...
Agatha Macbeth: Uh oh
Agatha Macbeth: Are you stuck again Bruce?
Wol Euler: crashed
Agatha Macbeth: Oh
Agatha Macbeth: Bummer
Agatha Macbeth: You're right he's not under the pool this time
Qt Core: that should have been a wild party...
Agatha Macbeth: I'll vote for them
Qt Core: tax reimburse paid in beer ?
Agatha Macbeth: Well, why not?
Agatha Macbeth: Sounds good to me
Qt Core: after all they are already brewing beer in the white house i read ;-)
Wol Euler: perhaps an option to be paid in tealeaves
Agatha Macbeth: So that's how Obama spends his time
Qt Core: some would say it is less dangerous that way
Agatha Macbeth: Hang on, isn't he supposed to be a Moslem?
Qt Core: you just have to not drink it
Agatha Macbeth: Ooh that would be difficult
Agatha Macbeth: Barack's home brew
  --BELL--1400
Qt Core: http://www.whitehouse.gov/blog/2012/...se-beer-recipe (more on wikipedia... obviously)
Agatha Macbeth: Good heavens
Agatha Macbeth: What next?
Qt Core: "white house honey" that is quite an hard to find ingredient...
Agatha Macbeth: Yeh
Agatha Macbeth: Wonder where he keeps the bees?
Wol Euler: they have their own bees :)
Wol Euler: on the south lawn, apparently
Agatha Macbeth: Beehive yourself
Wol Euler groans
Qt Core: (some of them are really micro drones for defense purposes ;-)
Wol Euler: heheheh
Agatha Macbeth: Could you imagine Reagan doing that?
Wol Euler: he'd trip over the hive and be stung to death
Agatha Macbeth: Wasn't that Gerald Ford?
Wol Euler: both
Wol Euler: for different reasons
Agatha Macbeth: Right
Agatha Macbeth: Who remembers Dan Quayle?
Wol Euler shudders
Agatha Macbeth: Mr cock up
Agatha Macbeth: Would have been great having him in charge of a nuclear strike
Agatha Macbeth: Where's Boxy tonight?
Agatha Macbeth: He never shows up when you need him
Wol Euler: :)
Agatha Macbeth: Looks like we lost Bruce then :(
Qt Core: hoping noting broke, it had the time to reboot the pc and reset the router (or whatever he use) several times
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe he lost his connection
Agatha Macbeth: The hurricane isn't near Ohio is it?
Wol Euler: well over a thousand miles away
Qt Core: he said it's down to gentle rain
Agatha Macbeth: Can't be that then
Agatha Macbeth: Poor Brucie
Agatha Macbeth: What's the topic this week?

The train derails and flies right between Wol and me

Wol Euler: 25.9. to 2.10. inclusive
Wol Euler: tuesday to tuesday
Agatha Macbeth: Wow a whole week
Wol Euler: it's in Cannaregio, opposite San Stae (but not on the Canale Grande)

Wol Euler nods.
Wol Euler: I'm really looking forward to that.
Agatha Macbeth: I'll bet

  --BELL--1430
Agatha Macbeth: Pass out, sleep
Agatha Macbeth: Maybe a designated diver instead?
Wol Euler: one still needs a guide :)
Agatha Macbeth: Could always fish them out with the pole
Wol Euler: heheheh
Alfred Kelberry: i think there's a fair amount of falling out of gondolas american tourists each year
Wol Euler: it's the traditional "tourist versus local" story
Agatha Macbeth nods
Agatha Macbeth: At least the roads never get wet
Alfred Kelberry: speaking of wet...
Agatha Macbeth: 0.0
Wol Euler groans.
Wol Euler: hello steve
Agatha Macbeth: Hello Stevie
Agatha Macbeth: Aren't bathroom floors supposed to be wet?
Agatha Macbeth: Rezzing always takes ages here
Wol Euler: I don't know anyone who has, but perhaps that proves your point
Wol Euler: depends how you define "respectable"
Agatha Macbeth thinks of a Rolling Stones song
Agatha Macbeth: Which book is this?
Agatha Macbeth: Ah
Agatha Macbeth: Must have missed it
Agatha Macbeth: Not another of JK Rowling's then?

And at this point SL decided to kick everybody out!!  The session continued some minutes later, sans moi....

Dermatek Resident: lol
Dermatek Resident: I'm not the talkative type nowadays.
Alfred Kelberry: in this version of the universe there's no 50 shades of grey :)
Dermatek Resident: Just to overcome the loneliness.
Wol Euler: awwwwww
