[21:40] <@sath> oh my GOD who sent me this anon: the first time i had sex my gf and i were both in drag and we couldn't get our fake facial hair off [21:40] <@sath> yes it would [21:40] <@tenlittlebullets> ......not me, shockingly enough [21:40] <@sath> hahahaha [21:41] <~carmarthen> marianne: yes 02[21:41] <@melannen> ...okay, eagle fic comes up if I search on "star wars" rather than "jedi" [21:41] <~carmarthen> idk, melannen [21:41] <@sath> according to the rule of anon if there is a particularly good anon there is a 90% chance of voksen [21:41] <@tenlittlebullets> although that sounds like something that *could* have happened to me [21:41] <~carmarthen> I guess I only mentioned jedi a couple times? [21:41] <@sath> ngl i thought it might be you tenlittlebullets [21:42] <@tenlittlebullets> nope [21:42] <@tenlittlebullets> but that sounds like fun 02[21:42] <@melannen> maybe sidebar mainsearch is different from header mainsearch... [21:42] <~carmarthen> oh man, it's almost 9pm, I'd better try to russian soon if I'm going to [21:43] <@tenlittlebullets> it would make a good pointedly-targeted play in Never Have I Ever [21:44] <@voksen> alas my first sex was with a dude [21:44] <@tenlittlebullets> "never have i ever had sex while wearing fake facial hair" "FUCK YOU never have i ever had a fivesome where everyone was in Doctor Who cosplay" [21:44] <@sath> ah ha ha ha ha [21:44] <@voksen> so it was not me [21:44] <@sath> i don't like never have i ever just bc i like to tell stories about myself and there is no option to do so 02[21:45] <@melannen> I don't like never have I ever because i basically never have. :P [21:45] <@Cinaed> same, melannen, lol [21:45] <@tenlittlebullets> i like drinking-game versions of never have i ever because i end up roaringly drunk [21:45] <@Sarah1281> People get mad at me for getting really specific whenever I play. [21:46] <@tenlittlebullets> oh man when i was in college we should've played drinking-game versions of Humiliation [21:47] <@sath> what's that [21:47] <@Cinaed> Humliation? [21:47] <@tenlittlebullets> it's like literary-cred Never Have I Ever 02[21:47] <@melannen> oooh, what sort of literary cred? [21:47] <@tenlittlebullets> you name an important classic you've never read and get a point for everyone in the circle who's read it [21:47] <@sath> i would so win that one 02[21:48] <@melannen> ...that I could at least make a showing at. 06[21:48] * @Cinaed nods 02[21:48] <@melannen> extra bonus points if classic fsf counts, though [21:48] <~carmarthen> I don't think I've ever played never have I ever since my life got interesting :( [21:48] <~carmarthen> also I would fail at both lit-cred and classic fsf. well. I'd win because I am poorly read [21:48] <@voksen> I'm not sure I've ever played it hahaha [21:48] <@tenlittlebullets> there is a possibly-apocryphal story that a group of lit professors once played it, and that one guy won the game but lost his job by saying "Hamlet" 02[21:49] <@melannen> we could play in IRC! :P 02[21:49] <@melannen> ...I have a bottle of really weird sodapop? [21:49] <@sath> omg i'd be down!!! [21:50] <@Cinaed> I have....lots of juice? [21:50] <@tenlittlebullets> (it doesn't have to be classic lit, I don't think--I think there was once a round played on Abaissé that somebody won by saying Harry Potter) 02[21:50] <@melannen> (actually this sodapop could only be improved by tequila, and I was told to use up tequila... hmm) [21:51] <@tenlittlebullets> i would totally be down for a round of Humiliation 02[21:51] <@melannen> ...can we play with classic badfic? [21:52] <@tenlittlebullets> IDK if we have enough old fandoms in common for that? [21:53] <@sath> i have some heineken [21:53] <@sath> i have not read like any classic badfic [21:53] <@sath> not even celebrian 02[21:53] <@melannen> okay, no badfic then. :P [21:53] <@tenlittlebullets> i've read some of the infamous brain-scarring porn in Harry Potter fandom [21:53] <~carmarthen> I have cider! [21:53] <@Cinaed> I keep wanting to go out and buy whisky, lol [21:53] <@sath> carmarthen i am jealous [21:53] <~carmarthen> I have a terrible memory for badfic [21:54] <~carmarthen> (I also have pinot grigio, kirschwasser, pomegranate schnaps, and a sample bottle of brandy, all of which I *should* try to get rid of before I move, except maybe the kirsch) [21:54] <~carmarthen> classic lit or sff version? [21:54] <@sath> JEALOUS [21:54] <~carmarthen> sath come visit me and drink my booze [21:54] <@tenlittlebullets> i vote classic lit [21:54] <@sath> yes classic lit [21:54] <@sath> lemme dig up some booze rq [21:55] <~carmarthen> yes, likewise [21:55] <@tenlittlebullets> booze does horrible things to my mental health right now but i will drink in spirit [21:55] <~carmarthen> do we go in order, and if so who's actually playing? [21:55] <~carmarthen> (good plan <3 ) [21:55] <@Cinaed> I have no alcohol, unless my brother has some, but I have lots of juice 02[21:55] <@melannen> alphabetical I guess since that's the order list? 02[21:55] <@melannen> let me go splash some tequila it pop glass 02[21:56] <@melannen> (this may end v. v. poorly for me, you guys have never seen me chat while drinking) 03[21:56] * voksen sets mode: +o Stripy [21:56] <~carmarthen> playing in spirit is a-okay [21:56] <@Stripy> I have no alcohol because it is 4am [21:56] <~carmarthen> is anyone *not* playing? [21:56] <@Stripy> but I'll play in spirit [21:56] <@Sarah1281> I don't think we ever keep alcohol in the house. [21:57] <@tenlittlebullets> granted, admitting this is mostly on the honor principle, because my typing does not suffer at all when i'm drunk [21:58] <@tenlittlebullets> (also, technical question: are you allowed to name books you started reading but noped out of?) 02[21:58] <@melannen> I don't think alcohol is actually required [21:58] <@Cinaed> Juice is probably best for me since uh, the few times I have drunk alcohol, I have fallen asleep after copious amounts of alcohol....by which I mean two shots of whisky and whatnot. 02[21:58] <@melannen> ...omg this pop is BRIGHT MARTIAN GREEN when out of the brown bottle. <_< [21:58] <@Cinaed> So I'd be out of the game within like....the first few rounds, haha 02[21:58] <@melannen> and yes Cinaed when playing drinking games I traditionally fall asleep after one bottle of mike's hard lemonade. 02[21:58] <@melannen> We'll see how long it takes half a shot of tequila to knock me out. :P [21:58] <@tenlittlebullets> i miss being able to drink [21:59] <@Cinaed> :) [21:59] <@tenlittlebullets> once i played never have i ever taking sips of whiskey while everyone else was sipping wine [21:59] <@sath> heine obtained 02[21:59] <@melannen> I thought you had recently rediscovered drink? Or was that a different misere? [22:00] <@tenlittlebullets> i did, but its effects are unpredictable, and if i have any hangover at all it triggers some pretty nasty shit [22:00] <@sath> i'm trying to get bro on rq 02[22:00] <@melannen> oh, right, I just scrolled up. 02[22:00] <@melannen> Alas. [22:00] <@Sarah1281> I got orange juice since I figured sticking with water would be lamer. [22:00] <~carmarthen> hmmmm, I'm not sure about half-finished books 02[22:01] <@melannen> I'm probably going to regret the tequila but I was already regretting the Zuberfizz pretty hard 03[22:01] * Genarti-AFK is now known as Genarti [22:01] <@Sarah1281> My dad still gets disappointed whenever I even allude to having anything alcoholic. 02[22:01] <@melannen> ...maybe you have to drink more if you started but didn't finish [22:01] <@tenlittlebullets> hahaha [22:01] <@Cinaed> lol [22:01] <~carmarthen> haha, ok, you can't name books you nope out of [22:01] <@Sarah1281> That sounds like half my high school english reading list. [22:01] <@Genarti> 10hee hee [22:01] <~carmarthen> but if you noped out you take 2 drinks? [22:01] <@sath> what do you mean nope out of [22:01] <@tenlittlebullets> maybe it counts as read if you got more than halfway? [22:01] <@Cinaed> same, Sarah [22:01] <@Genarti> 10my father was disappointed and confused by me not drinking for all the years I didn't [22:01] <~carmarthen> you started reading but never finished [22:02] <@sath> wait you drink if you did read the book or not read the book [22:02] <@Genarti> 10"but... it's tasty! I mean, uh, good job, honey, don't drink underage. ...Are you SURE you don't want some scotch?" [22:02] <@Sarah1281> Maybe like "The woman marries her rapist and they are supposed to be happy? Nope." [22:02] <~carmarthen> I'm not sure I can remember how *far* I got in books I didn't finish [22:02] <@tenlittlebullets> specifically, started reading but never finished due to an uncontrollable desire to strangle the author [22:02] <~carmarthen> you drink if you read the book, right? [22:02] <~carmarthen> ok [22:02] <~carmarthen> CAN I GO FIRST [22:02] <@tenlittlebullets> yeah, when it's your turn you name a book you haven't read and everyone who's read it has to take a drink [22:02] <@tenlittlebullets> you're first alphabetically! [22:02] <@Stripy> yes, let's go down the list [22:02] <~carmarthen> woooooo [22:02] <~carmarthen> ok [22:02] <@Sarah1281> I wonder how long it will take to do the obvious one. [22:02] <~carmarthen> never have I ever read 'catcher in the rye' [22:03] <@Sarah1281> Drink. 02[22:03] <@melannen> not me! [22:03] <@tenlittlebullets> *drinks* [22:03] <@Stripy> I have :) 06[22:03] * @Cinaed drinks [22:03] <@voksen> me neither [22:03] <@tenlittlebullets> (I fucking hated that book but managed not to nope out completely) [22:03] <@Genarti> 10I would drink if I were up for booze tonight; read it in school. [22:03] <@Cinaed> Read it of my own free will, which was a mistake 06[22:03] * @sath drinks [22:03] <@sath> read and enjoyed [22:03] <@Genarti> 10(Haaaated it, but read it.) [22:03] <~carmarthen> somehow I avoided it in high school [22:03] <@sath> sorry i was 8 [22:03] <@Cinaed> I am drinking juice, Genarti [22:03] <@Sarah1281> Me too, Cinaed, since it's not like I read half of my reading list. [22:03] <~carmarthen> (yes, you can drink metaphorically [22:03] <~carmarthen> ) [22:03] <@tenlittlebullets> (*is drinking metaphorically*) [22:03] <~carmarthen> ok, cinaed [22:03] <@Genarti> 10(Eeeexcellent. Tea it is!) [22:04] <@Cinaed> Okay, my turn! [22:04] <@Sarah1281> I had to write a paper diagnosing his mental condition. [22:04] <@Cinaed> Lolita [22:04] <~carmarthen> not me [22:04] <@Sarah1281> Not it. 06[22:04] * @sath drinks [22:04] <@tenlittlebullets> haven't read [22:04] <@tenlittlebullets> keep meaning to 02[22:04] <@melannen> ...read part of, accidentally 02[22:04] * @melannen drinks twice 06[22:04] * @Stripy drinks [22:04] <@Sarah1281> I would probably nope out of it if I did. [22:04] <@voksen> read and loved [22:04] <~carmarthen> (I want to read nabokov but not sure I can deal with lolita) [22:04] <@sath> aw yeah voksen [22:04] <@Sarah1281> And I've heard many things about everyone being wrong about it. [22:04] <@Genarti> 10Nope, haven't. [22:04] <@sath> one of my faves [22:04] <@Cinaed> yeah, same, car [22:04] <@Genarti> 10My brother raves about Nabokov in general, but I'm not sure if this is one of the areas where our tastes would overlap or no. 02[22:04] <@melannen> it was not as nopey as I expected, I would probably have finished it if it hadn't been 'pick up in a waiting room' 02[22:05] <@melannen> but it was too depressing for me too seek out to finish. [22:05] <~carmarthen> who leaves lolita in a waiting room? [22:05] <@tenlittlebullets> who leaves lolita in a waiting room [22:05] <~carmarthen> hahaha 06[22:05] * ~carmarthen highfives 02[22:05] <@melannen> ...somebody else who was waiting lalala sometimes I just pick up the nearest book [22:05] <@tenlittlebullets> i hope it wasn't in the waiting room for the pediatrician [22:05] <@Stripy> hahaha 02[22:06] <@melannen> MOVING ON from my casual book-stealing habits [22:06] <~carmarthen> hahaha [22:06] <~carmarthen> ok [22:06] <@tenlittlebullets> genarti, your go! [22:06] <@Sarah1281> I'm surprised how early I come up. [22:06] <@Genarti> 10Hmm! Okay... Hamlet, actually. [22:06] <@tenlittlebullets> *drinks* 06[22:06] * @Stripy drinks 02[22:07] <@melannen> we are like the opposite of Hugo names, everyone clusters after M [22:07] <@Sarah1281> Drink. [22:07] <@Genarti> 10I've read a bunch of Shakespeare, but not that one. 02[22:07] <@melannen> *drinks* 06[22:07] * @sath drinks [22:07] <@voksen> drinky drink [22:07] <@Sarah1281> Though I resented it. [22:07] <@sath> heineken is way better than i remember [22:07] <@sath> me too sarah [22:07] <@Cinaed> *drinks* I was an English major in undergrad-- one class was Shakespeare, there was no escaping Hamlet [22:07] <@tenlittlebullets> i think you just won [22:07] <@sath> same cinaed [22:07] <@sath> we should do best out of 3 [22:07] <@Sarah1281> Read it twice. Once in eighth grade and once as a junior or senior. [22:08] <@Stripy> I love Hamlet, it's one of my favourites. [22:08] <@sath> OMG WAIT NVM BRO IS LOGGING ON 06[22:08] * ~carmarthen drinks 02[22:08] <@melannen> are we playing with a 'win' outcome other than 'drink too much'? [22:08] <~carmarthen> I used to resent hamlet but I kind of like it now [22:08] <@tenlittlebullets> well, if everyone else in chat drinks, then i think you win [22:08] <@Genarti> 10Wait, were we only playing till someone wins? I'd've picked something else in that case! [22:08] <@Sarah1281> I can't even deal with "Well, my uncle is a horrible, sinful man who should surely be damned but if I strike him down while he is praying all will be forgiven and he'll go straight to heaven." [22:08] <~carmarthen> no, I think we're just playing b/c we're nerds [22:09] <@sath> let's play forever [22:09] <@Stripy> let's continue on anyways! second round [22:09] <@Genarti> 10*laughing* I vote for 2 out of 3 or until we're bored. [22:09] <~carmarthen> ok, melannen! [22:09] <@tenlittlebullets> foreverrrr [22:09] <@Cinaed> :) 02[22:09] <@melannen> Hunchback of Notre Dame!

[22:10] <@Sarah1281> Most classics are, I've found. [22:10] <@Stripy> hiya bro [22:10] <~carmarthen> play classic lit drinking games w us [22:10] <@brostoevsky> yes of course I will 02[22:10] <@melannen> \o/ [22:10] <~carmarthen> excellent [22:10] <@Genarti> 10Heya bro! [22:10] <@tenlittlebullets> well yes but NDdP is definitely right up there in the rankings of "novels where you want to give the entire main cast a good slap, without exception" 02[22:11] <@melannen> ...zuberfizz is much better as a mixer for tequila, btw [22:11] <@Sarah1281> Tom Sawyer. [22:11] <~carmarthen> yes, nddp is more about unlikable ppl than most [22:11] <@sath> NOPE! 02[22:11] * @melannen drinks a LOT [22:11] <~carmarthen> oh goes, I…think I read it? 06[22:11] * @Stripy drinks [22:11] <~carmarthen> *gosh [22:11] <@tenlittlebullets> i... think so too? [22:11] <@Genarti> 10The rules are "someone names a book, everyone else drinks if they've read it, drinks are allowed to be actual or metaphorical as you like." 06[22:11] * @voksen chugs the whole keg :/ 06[22:11] * @Genarti drinks [22:11] <~carmarthen> or possibly my dad read it *to* me? [22:11] <@tenlittlebullets> or was it an adapted kids' version? 06[22:11] * ~carmarthen drinks 02[22:11] <@melannen> also I read the sequel where they're abducted by a UFO 02[22:11] <@melannen> jsyk [22:11] <@tenlittlebullets> *takes half a drink* [22:11] <~carmarthen> hahaha [22:11] <@Cinaed> I have not read it! We read Huck Finn in class [22:12] <@sath> omg nisie just found out humiliation is a drinking game she is SO MAD she can't join bc children are over [22:12] <@Genarti> 10I read one on my own and one in class, and I forget which was which. [22:12] <@Cinaed> I've seen the Wishbone version though [22:12] <~carmarthen> that doesn't count [22:12] <@Sarah1281> I had so many problems with Huck Finn's tendency to spell the words like they were pronounced. [22:12] <@Cinaed> lol 02[22:12] <@melannen> I actually had them both read to me by parents before reading them myself [22:12] <@sath> voksen does that mean you noped out [22:12] <@brostoevsky> how dare those children be over [22:12] <@Sarah1281> I never understood why Jim couldn't pronounce the d in child when he could pronounce the one in there just fine. [22:13] <~carmarthen> true story: my dad thought 'a history of god' was a suitable read-aloud book for a preteen [22:13] <~carmarthen> he kept falling asleep [22:13] <@voksen> it means I read it so many times I started doodling on the corners with my crayons and got in trouble because it was my mom's old copy [22:13] <@sath> ah ha ha ha ha [22:13] <@sath> omggggg babby voksen 02[22:13] <@melannen> ...my dad loaned me "god: the autobiography" when I was a preteen, but did not try to read it aloud [22:13] <@tenlittlebullets> ....i think my parents' favorite part of me learning to read early was that they didn't have to read shit aloud [22:14] <@Genarti> 10Same, Marianne. [22:14] <~carmarthen> sarah, dialects generally have pronunciation rules rather are pretty consistent. it's no weirder than dropping 'r's in the middle of words in rhotic dialects but adding linking 'r's [22:14] <~carmarthen> sath, your turn [22:14] <@Stripy> sath, your turn [22:14] <@sath> sense and sensibility [22:14] <@tenlittlebullets> no drink! 06[22:14] * @Stripy drinks 02[22:14] * @melannen noped out of that one [22:14] <@Stripy> one of my favourites [22:14] <@Genarti> 10Nope. 06[22:14] * @Cinaed drinks [22:14] <~carmarthen> nope [22:14] <@voksen> never did [22:15] <@sath> whoa 02[22:15] <@melannen> mostly due to boredom, i suspect [22:15] <@Sarah1281> I've just never heard it in real life and hate reading dialects no matter what dialect it is. Drove me crazy in Harry Potter, too. [22:15] <@Genarti> 10Persuasion is the only Jane Austen I've read. And, uh, like half of P&P twice, but I keep getting bored and wandering away. 02[22:15] <@melannen> since I can't remember enough about it to remember why i noped out 06[22:15] * @brostoevsky drinks 03[22:15] * Morgan (Mibbit@FDF-3CD9C98.cat.com) has joined #lesmiseres 03[22:15] * Stripy sets mode: +o Morgan [22:15] <@Sarah1281> I got a few chapters in. [22:15] <@Cinaed> Hey, Morgan! 02[22:15] <@melannen> hi Morgan! [22:15] <@Genarti> 10Heya! [22:15] <@Morgan> heya [22:15] <~carmarthen> it's pretty commonly in southern dialects, although I am pretty hit and miss on written-out dialects 02[22:15] <@melannen> I've read all of Austen except S&S, Emma, and Northangar Abbey. [22:15] <~carmarthen> (nalo hopkinson is great, but she mostly does it by syntax) [22:15] <@Stripy> Crime and Punishment 06[22:16] * @voksen drinks 02[22:16] <@melannen> (we are playing a mad hybrid of humiliation and Never Have I Ever) [22:16] <~carmarthen> nope, but I should :( [22:16] <@tenlittlebullets> *drinks twice* noped out 02[22:16] <@melannen> (you drink if you haven't read) 06[22:16] * @Genarti drinks, crankily [22:16] <@Cinaed> Nope! I am terrible with Russian lit 06[22:16] * @brostoevsky drinks loudly 02[22:16] <@melannen> (you drink twice if you noped out) 06[22:16] * ~carmarthen needs to read more russian lit 06[22:16] * @sath drinks 02[22:16] * @melannen does not drink [22:16] <@voksen> aw I liked crime and punishment [22:16] <@Genarti> 10Read it, and Notes From Underground, for school. [22:16] <@brostoevsky> wait [22:16] <@sath> i loved that book so much i stole it 02[22:16] <@melannen> I've read almost no russian lit. 06[22:16] * ~carmarthen has only read chinghiz aitmatov, who is not russian [22:16] <@brostoevsky> i'm drinking for the wrong things [22:16] <@sath> taking 3 drinks 02[22:16] <@melannen> What I've read I adored, but [22:16] <@Genarti> 10Spent the entire time wanting to smack the narrator upside the head. [22:16] <~carmarthen> and anna akhmatova 02[22:16] <@melannen> ...wait, you drink if you havea read. 02[22:16] <@melannen> I got confused [22:16] <@Stripy> Crime and Punishment is amazing [22:16] <@Cinaed> I really enjoyed A Day in the Life of Ivan Devonsvitch(sp) though, I should try more 02[22:16] <@melannen> drink if you have read, not if you haven't read [22:16] <~carmarthen> marianne! [22:17] <@tenlittlebullets> i'm sure it would've been amazing if i could've gotten more than twenty pages into it 06[22:17] * @brostoevsky redrinks [22:17] <@tenlittlebullets> Macbeth [22:17] <@Sarah1281> I like the plot but it just goes slowly I need it in movie or miniseries form. [22:17] <@Sarah1281> Drink. 02[22:17] <@melannen> drink [22:17] <@Genarti> 10I should try it again, and see if I like it any better this time. 06[22:17] * @Genarti drinks [22:17] <@voksen> drink drink 06[22:17] * @sath drinks [22:17] <@Morgan> what is the game? 06[22:17] * @Stripy drinks [22:17] <@Sarah1281> Oh, forgot to mention didn't drink at Crime and Punishment. 02[22:17] <@melannen> drink if you've read it 02[22:17] <@melannen> don't drink if you haven't [22:17] <@Genarti> 10The game is: Someone names a book; you drink if you've read it. [22:17] <@Cinaed> I have not read it, but seen it performed, gosh, that was a great performance 02[22:17] <@melannen> that's basically it [22:17] <@Genarti> 10Drinks can be actual or metaphorical as you like. 06[22:17] * ~carmarthen drinks [22:18] <@tenlittlebullets> to be specific: someone names a book they haven't read; you drink if you've read it 06[22:18] * @Morgan drinks for macbeth [22:18] <~carmarthen> for plays, do you drink if you've seen and not read, out of curiosity? [22:18] <@Genarti> 10Right, yes. 02[22:18] <@melannen> ...movie versions don't count. idk about seen live? [22:18] <@tenlittlebullets> half a drink for seen and not read? 02[22:18] <@melannen> or two drinks? 02[22:19] <@melannen> (if it's two drinks, then movie versions totally count) [22:19] <@tenlittlebullets> two drinks sounds good [22:19] <~carmarthen> haha [22:19] <@voksen> the great gatsby 06[22:19] * ~carmarthen drinks [22:19] <@Morgan> if it was an uncut version of a play that probably counts as like, experiencing the text [22:19] <@tenlittlebullets> no drink! 06[22:19] * @Stripy drinks [22:19] <@Cinaed> lol [22:19] <@Morgan> drink 06[22:19] * @sath drinks 06[22:19] * @brostoevsky crankily drinks [22:19] <@Cinaed> I have not read it 02[22:19] <@melannen> drinks [22:19] <@Sarah1281> Drink. [22:19] <~carmarthen> I feel like seeing a play > reading it, but reading it > movie, b/c I'm a jerk [22:19] <~carmarthen> bro, are you cranky b/c you're well-read? [22:19] <@Sarah1281> Kind of really hated Nick. [22:19] <@tenlittlebullets> man i am outing myself as an uneducated plebe all over the place here [22:19] <~carmarthen> ok, my turn [22:19] <~carmarthen> gone with the wind! 06[22:20] * @Genarti drinks crankily with Bro 06[22:20] * @Stripy drinks [22:20] <~carmarthen> (me too, marianne) [22:20] <@sath> nope!

It took more than a day. [22:20] <@sath> but i'm also an english major [22:20] <@Genarti> 10(I am a plebe in terms of reading since then, mostly) [22:20] <@Stripy> I've read a ton over the course of my life, not so much in recent years though [22:20] <@Sarah1281> But pop culture (which I'm sure has only seen the movie if that) insists Scarlett is just this terrible person and I was left thinking she really wasn't all that bad. [22:21] <@tenlittlebullets> i've read a ton, just apparently not a very broad selection of Great Classics(TM) [22:21] <@Genarti> 10No drink . [22:21] <@tenlittlebullets> if we were playing this with french lit i'd have alcohol poisoning by now 02[22:21] * @melannen queues up more french lit [22:22] <@tenlittlebullets> bro it's your turn [22:22] <@brostoevsky> oh IS IT [22:22] <@brostoevsky> splendeurs et misères des courtisanes WHAT NOW MARIANNE [22:22] <@brostoevsky> wair [22:22] <@tenlittlebullets> *chugs bottle* [22:22] <@sath> no i am sorry [22:22] <@Genarti> 10*snickers* [22:22] <@brostoevsky> *wait [22:22] <@Sarah1281> ...Nope.

[22:24] <@Sarah1281> I wonder why you aren't showing up in the chat list, Cinaed. At least not as far as I can see. 02[22:24] <@melannen> I see her? [22:24] <@tenlittlebullets> i see her too [22:24] <@brostoevsky> ork ork let me think [22:24] <@Morgan> i see her [22:25] <@Cinaed> I am not actually here, I am a ghossst. [22:25] <@Genarti> 10I see her too [22:25] <@Cinaed> I cannot rest in my grave until I finish my fics [22:25] <@Sarah1281> So is it just me? That's so very odd. Everyone else is showing up for me. [22:25] <@brostoevsky> tess of the d'urbervilles 06[22:25] * @Stripy drinks [22:25] <@Sarah1281> And at the top it swears there are ten people here. 06[22:25] * @Genarti drinks [22:25] <@Cinaed> your computer hates me :( I see how it is [22:25] <@sath> nope :( [22:25] <@Sarah1281> Not it.

[22:26] <@Genarti> 10(although that was one of my epiphany WAIT, SYMBOLISM IS FUN EVEN WHEN I OTHERWISE WANT TO HIT EVERYTHING books) [22:26] <@Sarah1281> Although there was a funny scene at the end with Tess and her asshole boyfriend where she was confessing to murder and he thought she meant symbolism and finally got it and said "What, you mean literally?" [22:27] <@Cinaed> lol [22:27] <@Sarah1281> But God, I hated that boyfriend. [22:27] <~carmarthen> nope [22:27] <@Cinaed> Okay, my turn! [22:27] <@Sarah1281> He was the worst. [22:27] <@Cinaed> The Grapes of Wrath [22:27] <@tenlittlebullets> nope 06[22:27] * @Stripy drinks [22:27] <~carmarthen> nope [22:27] <@sath> nope [22:27] <@voksen> nope [22:27] <@tenlittlebullets> (damn, you stole the one i was going to use) [22:27] <@Sarah1281> Nope.

[22:28] <@Stripy> I disliked it pretty thoroughly 02[22:28] * @melannen drinks 02[22:28] <@melannen> it was okay but too long 02[22:28] <@melannen> jesus metaphors too obvious 02[22:28] <@melannen> too predictable in its depressingness [22:28] <@voksen> if you only ever read a shitty abridged adaptation can you use it as your entry [22:28] <@voksen> I'm trying to think ahead haha [22:28] <@tenlittlebullets> no 02[22:28] <@melannen> no. [22:29] <@voksen> dang [22:29] <@brostoevsky> I read of mice and men too young, ended up squished in a corner weeping, so grapes took a lot of courage [22:29] <@brostoevsky> then I was like wait it's boring [22:29] <~carmarthen> so far I have read 5, not read 7, not counting balzac [22:29] <~carmarthen> genarti? [22:29] <@tenlittlebullets> if somebody names something you've only read a shitty abridged adaptation of, though, you have to confess your shame [22:29] <@brostoevsky> also it was assigned, which contributes to a higher nope-out rate 02[22:29] <@melannen> 'of mice and men' is another one I 'borrowed' off of someone's desk and never bothered finishing [22:29] <@Genarti> 10War and Peace. 02[22:29] <@melannen> no drink! [22:29] <@Sarah1281> Nope.

You could easily get through fifteen or twenty books a week. 06[22:31] * ~carmarthen is waiting with shame for someone to name les miz [22:31] <~carmarthen> I mostly just don't read classic lit :( [22:31] <@tenlittlebullets> i'm actually surprised i haven't; i originally picked up les mis on the actual rationale that at least i wouldn't finish this one in an afternoon 02[22:31] <@melannen> if there's anyone here who hasn't at least started les miz, they're duty-bound to name it, just to see who else drinks... [22:31] <@Cinaed> I have only just gotten into classic lit in the past few months [22:32] <@tenlittlebullets> i was vaguely aware that there was a musical of it [22:32] <@Stripy> this may be somewhat late in the game to ask, but when you pick a book, is it meant to be one you haven't read or doesn't it matter? [22:32] <~carmarthen> I've read large parts of les miz but not in order because my attention span is totally shot to hell this year :( [22:32] <@sath> i read 90% of this stuff as a teenager i don't read much anymore :( [22:32] <@Morgan> carmarthen you name it on your turn then [22:32] <~carmarthen> stripy: one you haven't read 02[22:32] <@melannen> it's meant to be one you haven't read, stripy [22:32] <@Stripy> I read way more non-fiction now 02[22:32] <@melannen> ...if there are any [22:32] <~carmarthen> morgan: I can't, because I've read part of it [22:32] <@Stripy> thanks [22:32] <~carmarthen> melannen's turn?

[22:35] <@Sarah1281> I also don't really understand Jane's insistance that she could not marry a man she did not love for moral reasons given her society. Where did she get the idea it was immoral? 02[22:35] <@melannen> maybe she knew she'd end up fucking rochester anyway. :P [22:36] <@Morgan> notre dame [22:36] <@Sarah1281> ...That I could see. :P [22:36] <@Sarah1281> We already did that.

[22:37] <@Cinaed> lol [22:37] <@Sarah1281> I think it means we will have broken the game.

[22:38] <@Cinaed> The only Dickens I have read is A Christmas Carol, lol [22:38] <@tenlittlebullets> (fortunately, my one major experience with tequila involved some asshole trying to lift my friend's skirt and me having zero hesitation about punching him) [22:38] <@sath> nope! [22:38] <@Genarti> 10That was the book that made me think I hated Dickens, and then I read Tale of Two Cities the next year and decided I liked at least some of his stuff after all [22:38] <@sath> hate dickens [22:39] <@Stripy> it's an incredibly boring book [22:39] <~carmarthen> nope [22:39] <@tenlittlebullets> i want Great Expectations/Les Mis crossovers [22:39] <~carmarthen> sarah!

But, alas. [22:39] <@Genarti> 10Nope. [22:40] <@voksen> I know what hapens but I never read it [22:40] <@Genarti> 10It is indeed a book.

[22:41] <@Cinaed> lol [22:41] <@Sarah1281> And why we're supposed to feel sorry for the father. And why she admitted that she knew her creepy husband. 02[22:41] <@melannen> also I embroided a fancy scarlet A 06[22:41] * ~carmarthen drinks with extreme prejudice 02[22:41] <@melannen> which impressed the English teacher so much that I didn't have to write the final essay for that unit 02[22:41] <@melannen> score!

Though at least it wasn't the new one. 02[23:30] <@melannen> not nearly enough survival porn for a shipwreck book [23:30] <@Genarti> 10Is it worth reading for survival porn? --Ah. [23:30] <@Genarti> 10Pity. 02[23:31] <@melannen> no, he's always washing up on islands that have civilizations on them 02[23:31] <@melannen> pointless. [23:31] <@tenlittlebullets> i think i'm out after this round 06[23:31] * @Stripy drinks [23:31] <@tenlittlebullets> i did vaguely intend to poke at fic tonight [23:31] <@Genarti> 10If I'm smart, I'll do the same, Marianne [23:31] <@Stripy> it's half 5 here, so i may need to toddle off at some point [23:32] <@sath> YEAH SAME [23:32] <@Genarti> 10I haven't decided yet if I'm smart [23:32] <@sath> sry caps [23:32] <@Cinaed> my stomach is too full of juice at this point, lol [23:32] <@Genarti> 10but it's 12:30, so I probably ought to be [23:32] <@sath> i'm soused [23:32] <@tenlittlebullets> mel's turn i think? [23:32] <@sath> so maybe grantaire will finally bugger enjolras you never know i'm mostly filling nisie's IM window with soppiness 02[23:32] <@melannen> ...i'm two-thirds of the way done with my half-shot? 02[23:32] <@melannen> umm. 02[23:32] <@melannen> Slaughterhouse-five? [23:32] <~carmarthen> I'm almost done with my drink [23:32] <~carmarthen> nope [23:32] <@tenlittlebullets> i formally put in my vote of approval for grantaire buggering enjolras 06[23:32] * @Genarti drinks 06[23:32] * @sath drinks [23:32] <@sath> ONE OF MY FAVES 06[23:32] * @tenlittlebullets drinks angrily 06[23:32] * @Stripy drinks [23:32] <@Morgan> i'm at work, not actually drinking, and it's just after lunch, so I am here for a while 06[23:33] * @Morgan drinks [23:33] <@Sarah1281> I checked it out and never returned it or opened it. [23:33] <@Stripy> same sath [23:33] <@Sarah1281> It might still be in my brother's room. 06[23:33] * @Cinaed drinks happily [23:33] <@Genarti> 10Schoool, and I'm not sure if I'd like it now or not [23:33] <@Cinaed> Love Vonnegut [23:33] <@Morgan> i also wish to register my approval for buggery, sath 02[23:33] <@melannen> should probably read it someday, but I read the mandated Vonnegut Short Stories in school and was insufficiently impressed [23:33] <@sath> i want to deliver everyone the buggery they hope for [23:33] <@Sarah1281> I like Vonnegut except for the short story "Welcome to the Monkey House." 02[23:33] <@melannen> (probably because Mandated Short Stories aren't him at his best...) [23:33] <@tenlittlebullets> hated it for school, might change my opinion if i ever get around to rereading it on my own time [23:34] <@Sarah1281> That had so very, very many Unfortunate Implications. [23:34] <@Sarah1281> In fact, they weren't even implications so much as text. [23:34] <@Genarti> 10I did at the time, although I think that was partly just because I was kindly disposed any time we read anything sff-ish for school [23:34] <@Genarti> 10which was basically that and Brave New World, IIRC 02[23:34] <@melannen> I wanted to be kindly disposed to school-ish SFF but then 1984 and NOPE [23:34] <@Genarti> 10Oh, and The Martian Chronicles but I've forgotten everything about that except some disconnected images. [23:34] <@tenlittlebullets> awww i liked 1984 [23:35] <@Cinaed> ugh, 1984 :( [23:35] <@Morgan> I liked 1984 [23:35] <@sath> 1984!!! so good 02[23:35] <@melannen> especially after we had to stop reading I Know Why The Caged Bird Sings because parents were racist complained about the rape scene [23:35] <@Sarah1281> Ah, 1984, when it forgot it was a novel halfway through and remembered abruptly after a 50-page rant on politics. 02[23:35] <@melannen> and then went write to 1984 02[23:35] <@melannen> ahahahah no [23:35] <@Genarti> 10Never read 1984. [23:35] <@Sarah1281> 1984 was my first classic story fanfic. [23:35] <@Sarah1281> I should probably take it down... [23:35] <@voksen> whoops I had to step out what did I miss 02[23:35] <@melannen> I liked it except the rapeyness [23:35] <@tenlittlebullets> divided opinions on vonnegut and orwell 02[23:36] <@melannen> particularly the MC's not realizing that rapeyness != true love [23:36] <@Sarah1281> Melannen, just like Welcome to the Monkey House. 02[23:36] <@melannen> yeppers [23:36] <@tenlittlebullets> *squints* morgan's turn? [23:36] <@Sarah1281> "I never listen to a woman who hasn't had sex." 02[23:37] <@melannen> and because of the Maya Angelou fiasco, we couldn't even discuss the sex-related stuff in class [23:37] <@Genarti> 10ughhhhh 02[23:37] <@melannen> so probably half the boys came out of it going 'heehee sexy' 02[23:37] <@melannen> ugh [23:37] <@Sarah1281> "I'm sorry that I raped you. Not because I raped you but because I'm not hot enough for you. Or tall enough. But don't worry, now that you know how much fun sex is since I raped you I'm sure you can go on to have lots of healthy and fulfilling sex in the future!" [23:37] <@sath> does anyone else have a tumblr being super buggy rn [23:37] <@voksen> yeah tumblr shit itself about ten minutes ago for me 02[23:37] <@melannen> ...dunno, have just been in IRC [23:38] <@Genarti> 10same as melannen [23:38] <@Cinaed> well, mine's claiming that no one on my dash had reblogged or posted in the last....half hour since I checked [23:38] <@Cinaed> which seems highly doubtful 02[23:38] <@melannen> my dash hasn't update since your post about gros though, sath [23:38] <@Stripy> same [23:38] <@tenlittlebullets> i haven't noticed any bugginess [23:38] <@Sarah1281> Most of the people I follow are in here so it wouldn't surprise me if no one literally did. 02[23:38] <@melannen> not that 'sath's post about gros' narrows it down much [23:38] <@Cinaed> lol [23:38] <@sath> hahaha nope [23:38] <@Morgan> sorry, I had to go and fight with the photocopier, is it my turn? [23:39] <@Sarah1281> Yes. 02[23:39] <@melannen> I think so? [23:39] <~carmarthen> apparently tumblr is down [23:39] <~carmarthen> so says otherchat [23:39] <@Cinaed> ooh, okay [23:39] <@Morgan> that would explain why I couldn't answer the sath ask [23:39] <~carmarthen> did we actually have a book after slaughterhouse? 02[23:39] <@melannen> nope, I think it's still morgan's turn [23:39] <@tenlittlebullets> okay yeah last post on my dash is from 11:30 or so [23:39] <@Sarah1281> I wish tumblr told you when something was posted. [23:40] <@Morgan> (it included me coming out as panda anon btw if I forget to put that in the actual answer) [23:40] <@Sarah1281> It would make playing catch-up so much easier. [23:40] <@Morgan> um [23:40] <@sath> morgan that is WONDERFUL [23:40] <@tenlittlebullets> xkit has a timestamp extension [23:41] <~carmarthen> wow, I may have to sleep early [23:41] <@Morgan> I am blanking on books again [23:41] <~carmarthen> but I need to finish my cider [23:41] <@Cinaed> I've been using this, Morgan, haha [23:41] <@Cinaed> http://www.goodreads.com/shelf/show/classic-literature?page=6 [23:41] <@Stripy> right guys going to have to head to bed, it's almost 6am and I have a meeting with the bank at 11.
