| 04:10.49 | lan56 | but a screwdriver has a smooth tip, how can it possibly be sharp enough to scratch? |
| 04:11.27 | learner | i didn't need sharp.. just needed a "stick" |
| 04:11.45 | learner | put a lil piece of paper towel to soften it .. :) |
| 04:12.15 | Aribeth | EWWWEEWEWEEEEWWWWWW! |
| 04:12.42 | learner | but but.. |
| 04:12.48 | learner | it was itching :) |

| 04:13.02 | lan56 | that's what finger nails are for :) |
| 04:13.02 | learner | and I"m too lazy to hunt down a q-tip thing |
| 04:13.16 | learner | itch was pretty deep |
| 04:13.34 | learner | those wouldn't have helped |
| 04:13.38 | Aribeth | try masaging just behind the ear. |
| 04:13.40 | lan56 | how short are they? |
| 04:13.55 | Aribeth | under the ear lobe |
| 04:14.05 | lan56 | that makes you cough |

| 04:14.43 | lan56 | either there is miscommunication here, or one of us is healthier :) |

| 05:14.13 | purple_cow | there was no real reason to complicate things |

| 05:52.05 | lan56 | that's sounds right, I'd say that geno only works when a bullet strikes a tank |
| 05:52.30 | sgk284 | now i know that the bzdevs aren't human and that they breathe eat and live bzflag so i hope someone sees this ;) |
| 05:52.52 | sgk284 | lan56: i do believe it acts like geno with shockwave though |
| 05:53.03 | Aribeth | Tegan was there and got squished |
| 05:53.33 | *** join/#bzflag Patlabor221 (JeffM@Patlabor221.active.supporter.pdpc) |
| 05:53.34 | *** mode/#bzflag [+o Patlabor221] by ChanServ |
| 05:53.35 | lan56 | but shockwave sends out an entire shock killing any tank within its radius, genocide only affects bullets |
| 05:53.48 | MeBigFatGuy | yes steam rolling is a power of the geno tank, but a weak ness of the burrow tank |
| 05:53.51 | MeBigFatGuy | so no team kill |
| 05:54.06 | MeBigFatGuy | er, is not a power of the geno tank |
| 05:54.20 | sgk284 | oh... |
| 05:54.26 | Patlabor221 | how do people put up with this emense slowness? |
| 05:54.38 | lan56 | what slowness? |
| 05:55.08 | Patlabor221 | 4k a sec |
| 05:55.08 | Patlabor221 | I mean DAMN |
| 05:55.18 | lan56 | sounds fast to me :) |
| 05:55.21 | MeBigFatGuy | dialup? |
| 05:55.27 | MeBigFatGuy | 4k is fast i get about 1.5 |
| 05:55.29 | MeBigFatGuy | to 2 |
| 05:58.17 | Patlabor221 | I mean even a ssh session is painfull |
| 05:58.40 | Patlabor221 | must.. not ... gouge out eyes.... |
| 05:59.27 | sgk284 | lol |

| 06:00.48 | Patlabor221 | well i'm sure netzero just blows, I have to find a local access number for sbc |
| 06:01.32 | lan56 | netzero! that's the worst of the worst when it comes to dialup |
