Internet Relay Chat

So, I spend an inordinate amount of time on IRC. I am typically idling across four networks, and 12 rooms and any given time. This number varies greatly across any significant amount of time. This is very much due to the fact that I have, as of yet, found no suitable IRC client. In the eight years of my life since I first entered an IRC chat room, I have never once found a single usable IRC client. Not a sausage.

At this point, many people would write something highly technical about what problems they had found in the various UI's, the integrated DCC support, the ability to fax finger nail clippings through the disk drive of your machine via IRC service tunneling.

But instead, I am going to talk about that sausage. It was most assuredly a functional and derisive sausage. In the end, we all found ourselves at gun-point, forced to acknowledge this fact. With that, the team of highly skilled Saags delivery men retracted their firearms, calmly walked backwards to their entry windows, and climbed back up the helicoptor supported ropes they had used to rapell down into our house.

As the swirling blades wooshed away into the night sky, we were once again left staring down at the sausage, thouroughly convinced that it was, in fact, non-functional.

However, there was no amount of money that could make us utter this particular thought once more, for the black clad, jack-booted, curb stomping proletariate adver-ninjas were listening. We knew that now.

The sausage was bugged.

Politics: so Kerry changed his position on something. My god, he admitted he was wrong? Wow! That bastard! I prefer my leaders to be bull-headed and unwilling to admit their mistakes.
