20111009:
Tsarvald [trivia] The only other reference to Tsarvald on the web is a
single reference in a history book published in Finnish in 1912.
Rosuav [trivia] That's as good as references to Rosuav.
Tsarvald [trivia] It is a Finnish contraction meaning "selected by the
Czar."
Rosuav [trivia] Well well. Quite the honor.
Rosuav [trivia] Incidentally, the rosuav.com result isn't in Google's index
yet, but those quotes are often hit from google searches.
Rosuav [trivia] I look through my weblogs and find all sorts of weird
queries.
Rosuav [trivia] The funniest one I ever came across was... someone searched
for "dalaena porn"
Tsarvald [trivia] Is it funnier that someone searched for that, or that it
brought them straight to your site?
Tsarvald [trivia] And did they FIND it?
Rosuav [trivia] I don't think they meant Dalaena the Threshold admin. They
were looking for something else.
Rosuav [trivia] Try the search; a short way down you'll find my site.
Tsarvald [trivia] Astonishing.
[trivia] Rosuav laffs out loud!
Rosuav [trivia] "if a process crashes and init isn t there to hear it does
it producea core dump?"
Rosuav [trivia] As a search query.
Rosuav [trivia] Or this: caramel sancitizer
[trivia] Rosuav boggles at the concept
Tsarvald [trivia] They should have tried Amazon--they have great prices on
sancitizers for all manner of confections.
Tsarvald [trivia] I just own one--a chocolate sancitizer, of course--but I
can still get the caramel nozzle and cromulentrix.
Tsarvald [trivia] You just have to mirabilize it in between uses!
Rosuav [trivia] See now, I fancy myself something of a chocolates expert.
But I've yet to use a sancitizer... and I can't even figure out what
it's a typo for, seeing that 'caramel sanitizer' doesn't make much
more sense.
Tsarvald [trivia] perhaps they were going to redo their bathroom in caramel
color and they wanted a sanitizer dispenser to match.
Tsarvald [trivia] Or they wanted hand sanitizer that smelled like caramel.
[trivia] Rosuav chuckles "hehehehe"
Tsarvald [trivia] Or they wanted caramels that doubled as hand sanitizers.
[trivia] Rosuav hmms
Rosuav [trivia] That's something that I would like to see.
Tsarvald [trivia] But not necessarily taste.
[trivia] Rosuav grins
Rosuav [trivia] Hey, s'long as it tastes like caramel, I'm fine

-{Citizen}- Razok: Oh, you're fucking with me. "Baconnaise"?
-{Citizen}- Alumsaye: What?...Wow.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: It's real, I think
-{Citizen}- Razok:
http://www.thinkgeek.com/caffeine/wacky-edibles/c87a/?cpg=109HC
-- It's real.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: I checked the date already, it's not April 1st.
-{Citizen}- Razok: Disturbing.
-{Citizen}- Razok: But real.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav nods
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Saw that in my rss the other day and lolled.
-{Citizen}- Rileska: What's creepy is that I just told Xinefus I smell like
bacon.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav loves TG
-{Citizen}- Callerre: Bacon is good with anything. I make great chocolate
bacon cupcakes
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Really Call?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav wants
-{Citizen}- Callerre: My roomie LOVES them.
-{Citizen}- Rileska: That just sounds...weird.
-{Citizen}- Callerre: I get lots of funny looks, but then people try them
and go "whoa. yum"
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Rileska, this subject is a combination of ThinkGeek and
Citizen. How can it be anything BUT weird?
-{Citizen}- Rileska: I meant chocolate bacon.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav nods at Rileska
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: That's what I meant
-{Citizen}- Callerre: It's the best. There is nothing better than that
salty/sweet combination. Mmmmm.

-{Citizen}- Aryadne burps rudely
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: I just ate an entire pig
-{Citizen}- Edyn is jealous
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: I mean, I had help, but I just ate part of every part
of an entire pig.
-{Citizen}- Ysadri: Roasd sucklid pig?
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: I ate it's ears all fried crispy in a salad...
-{Citizen}- Telven: Pig roast?
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: I ate its brains
-{Citizen}- Saorise: Did it have crunchy bits!
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: in a terrine
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: I ate it's liver
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: I ate its trotters
-{Citizen}- Ysadri: oysders?
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: Ten courses of every piece of piggy
-{Citizen}- Aryadne burps rudely
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Most parts of a pig are good, but the trotters? Aren't
they a tad... tough?
-{Citizen}- Telven: Trotters?
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: No, because they were braised all day
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Okay
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: they were succulent little feetsies
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: The blood sausage, like, vaporized on your tongue.
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: Once the photo spread is posted, I'll link it.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: I daresay that cost a pretty penny
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: But it would have been delicious
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: we got comped because my wife is writing a feature
article on the event
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: SWEET
-{Citizen}- Telven: Very nice
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: but yes, ti would have been expensive. Awesome wines,
to boot.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Were X people all gathered to partake of one pig, or
were there multiple pigs?
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: Mainly one pig. I think he bought extra ears, liver,
trotter, and such to have enough for all the courses
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Heh
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: 180ish lb pig
-{Citizen}- Rosuav nods
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Yeah, that's a decent bit of pork right there
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: The photo spread goes from "Chef petting dinner-to-be
in its pen" to dessert.
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: and every stage of fabrication in between
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: The drawback was the really excellent wines. Because
drinking them just highlighted how truly mediocre the wines in
my price-range that we normally drink are.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav chuckles "hehehehe"
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: I usually delude myself with statements like, "This is
a very drinkable wine for $9"
-{Citizen}- Telven laughs
-{Citizen}- Telven: A bottle or a glass?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav sighs
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: bottle
-{Citizen}- Jolen: I have found exceedingly drinkable wines for 6$.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: I have to confess... I saw "$9" and thought it was a
botched parameterisation
-{Citizen}- Ysadri: Local bineyards habe good wine ad low prices
-{Citizen}- Jolen nods at Ysadri
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: The problem is that every time I find a great wine for
the price... others find it too. Then it sells out.
-{Citizen}- Jolen: Casal Garcia. But, perhaps that is just nostalgia
because I got really, really drunk.
-{Citizen}- DING! DING! DING!
Congratulations! Darion has received some further training in
their trade.
-{Citizen}- Grythael got too greedy and has been sent to an asylum to share
a cell with Whitewing.
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: So, course #1 - Fromage de Tete - Headcheesed terrine
served w/traditional accoutrements.
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: course #2 - Salade de Cochon a l'Oreille - Crispy
julienned pig's ear w/ butter lettuce & French radish
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: both of those served w/a Nicolas Feuillatte Brut.
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: #3 - Filet de Porc Fume' - Applewood smoked loin
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: #4 - Flan de Foie - Liver flan w/ red whine caramel
and watercress
-{Citizen}- Ysadri: Wad id a dice whine?
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: #5 Crepinette - Crepinette of feet, liver, heart and
kidney w/fingerling potatoes
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: Wait, I got out of order... I missed the other course
that went w/the Trimbach Riesling...
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: Flanc de Porc Roti - Slow rasted pork belly
w/caramelized brussel sprouts...
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: That was actually #4
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: Okay, so then w/a 2006 Domaine du Clos du Fief,
Julienas, Beaujolais...
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: #7 - Boudin Noir - Blood sausage w/celery root puree
(aaaaawesome)
-{Citizen}- Ysadri: ew
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: moving on to the 2006 Vacqueyras...
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: #8 Epaule de Porc en Vin Rouge - marinated shoulder
braised in red wine
-{Citizen}- Falcore probably poked metal objects in electric sockets as a
kid.
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: #9 - Pied a la Pierre Kauffman - Tratter stuffed
w/sweetbreads w/ madeira-mushroom sauce
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: and dessert, w/a Chateau La Roque, Pic Saint Loup,
Languedoc... was Mapel Panna Cotta with a glazed bacon strip.
-{Citizen}- Aryadne burps again
-{Citizen}- Saorise sobs uncontrollably.
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: desser + bacon = awesome
-{Citizen}- Saorise is now starving!
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Well, Aryadne, I think you've eaten more pork in that
meal than I'd eat in a month... has it made you dislike regular
pork sausages, or are you able to back down from the gourmet
and return to normal?
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: mainly because I can't sheel out $150+ for a dinner
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: Well, I have a farmshare from a local farm where I get
all my beef and pork from. So it's not really a downgrade to
"normal"
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Or, a very high level of normality. Nice going.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav should get farmshare pork and probably the same in
chocolate...
-{Citizen}- Aryadne: I'm now going to take my full belly to bed and dream
of happy little piggies frolicing about the meadows.. awaiting
the day they end up on my plate.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav waves at Aryadne

-{Citizen}- Saorise: I just tried this:
http://www.dizzy-dee.com/recipe/chocolate-cake-in-5-minutes
-{Citizen}- Saorise: It works, and OMFG it is good!
-{Citizen}- Rosuav gives it a thumbs up.
-{Citizen}- Emfield: dag
-{Citizen}- Saorise: So good!
-{Citizen}- Saorise: microwave cake in 5 mins, yes plez!
-{Citizen}- Telven: That sounds strange
-{Citizen}- Telven: Microwaveable 5 minute cake?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Coolness! I might have to try that in the dead of night
instead of my usual frying.
-{Citizen}- Nyine: Is cake flour, just normal flour?
-{Citizen}- Emfield sighs
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: I'd guess sr
-{Citizen}- Emfield: cake flour is for making dolls
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: SR flour is what we usually have anyway
-{Citizen}- Saorise: I put in SR
-{Citizen}- Rosuav peers quizzically at Emfield
-{Citizen}- Emfield: flour babies
-{Citizen}- Nyine: Cool, I have both.
-{Citizen}- Saorise: It was delicious! Just let it cool a bit in the mug so
the cake does not dry out, other than that, WORKS!
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Great!
-{Citizen}- Rosuav 1's that for reference
-{Citizen}- Riscal: Ros, like your 1 I want to see how many other
references to chocolate cake there are
-{Citizen}- Riscal: link*

-{Citizen}- Falcore: Love the 94 proof! Chocolate does wonders when
drinking hehee
-{Citizen}- Aiya: I am of Rosuav's opinion on chocolate.
-{Citizen}- Falcore: Which is?
-{Citizen}- Aiya: Chocolate - as much as possible, whenever possible.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav grins at Aiya
20090724: Can't LOVE chocolate...
Khalid [threshold] Is something on your mind? Are there misconceptions
about Lady Bast and her followers that need to be cleared up? Make
your way to Her temple in 3 tolls for a discussion with whiskey,
chocolate, and fruits included.
[PSION] Nardela muses: Who can turn down chocolate?
[PSION] Rosuav muses: Hehe
[PSION] Ashavell muses: Only the foolish
[PSION] Nardela muses: But alas, I don't know where the temple is, chocolate
may be missed out!
[PSION] Rosuav muses: No matter, you can always get chocolate elsewhere
[PSION] Nardela muses: But I really really loooo.......iiiiiiiiike chocolate!

-{Citizen}- Armon: by the way Ros, I started writing the Super Geek comic
-{Citizen}- Rosuav laffs out loud!
-{Citizen}- Armon: his super hero costume is nothing but thinkgeek products
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Well, in my guise as a mild-mannered rehearsal
assistant, I am presently shivering. Go ahead and use that in
your comic.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav whistles innocently
-{Citizen}- Saorise: Until you take his chocolate away
-{Citizen}- Saorise: then he will harm you
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Is it a bad sign when you can see your breath indoors?
-{Citizen}- Khaltek: If you work in an abbatoir, no :)
-{Citizen}- Armon: depends, you got a lot of meat sitting around that you
don't want to spoil?
-{Citizen}- Marran: threshing in a meat locker, now there's an image
-{Citizen}- Armon: that's hard core
-{Citizen}- Saorise glances to Marran
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: I don't, Khaltek and Armon, but if I did, I would
definitely thresh.
-{Citizen}- Halyanne: if you like meat that might be cool
-{Citizen}- Saorise: A little morbid, this is me saying this.
-{Citizen}- Armon: Rocky 5000, threshing for victory
-{Citizen}- Marran: My point
-{Citizen}- Halyanne makes a note that Saorise thinks its morbid to thresh
with meat
-{Citizen}- Saorise ponders at Halyanne
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Marran, if you thresh in a meatlocker, you might start
looking around and wondering where the Basilisk sirloins are.
-{Citizen}- Marran: Yeah, but it would be hard to get into RP with
Silvanites
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Why?
-{Citizen}- Saorise: Kylamites will all be happy
-{Citizen}- Rosuav nods at Saorise
-{Citizen}- Marran glances around at all the dead animals. Oh yeah, balance
of nature baby
-{Citizen}- Rosuav grins
-{Citizen}- Saorise: food chain, Marran.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Dal! TCon 2010 has to be held in a meat-locker.
-{Citizen}- Rilthyn: It's the food chain, all links directed into the human
mouth.
-{Citizen}- Saorise: Survival of the hungriest.
-{Citizen}- Rilthyn points at Saorise
-{Citizen}- Saorise gives Rilthyn a high-five!
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: "In war-torn Alara, sometimes a wurm's gullet is the
safest place to be." -- flavor text from the Gorger Wurm card
-{Citizen}- Saorise: "I do not need to outrun a dragon, just the gnome"
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Poor Armon, doomed to be dragon fodder
-{Citizen}- Marran dumps A1 sauce on the gnomes as he runs past
-{Citizen}- Armon: lucky for me I'm wearing my +5 chainmail of Dragon bane
-{Citizen}- Armon: or something
-{Citizen}- Armon: sorry, mischan
-{Citizen}- Armon: oh wait, lucky for me I'm NOT ACTUALLY A GNOME!
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: You didn't mischan that to IC did you?
-{Citizen}- Armon: yes
-{Citizen}- Rosuav rolls on the floor laughing
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Reality Denial
-{Citizen}- Saorise: Yes, yes he did
-{Citizen}- Armon: I somehow mischanned it on the -say- channel
-{Citizen}- Saorise: Armon says, "oh wait, lucky for me I'm NOT ACTUALLY A
GNOME!"
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: This is going to start some serious rumours
20070607:
You say, "I was going to get to bed early today. It's nearly 6AM :("
Anthson says, "Sheesh."
Anthson says, "Seriously, man, I worry about you."
Anthson says, "I looked at those pictures ..."
Anthson says, "You need to start living a bit more healthy."
You say, "You mean the chocolate?"
Anthson says, "I mean the sleep! If you got on a plane, they'd make you check
those bags under your eyes."

-{Citizen}- Shykiran: Oh gods.. I just won a 2 foot easter egg in a raffle at
my local coffee shop..
-{Citizen}- Rosuav lets out a resounding cheer.
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: its got a wicker basket its so f**king big
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: eats his cadburies creme egg as a starter
-{Citizen}- Akhafta: Is it just a shell or pure chocolate?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Err... Ak... if that's solid chocolate, it'd weigh a couple
of tonnes.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav grins
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: Something light.. chocolate mousse with chocolate
shavings
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: How are you going to break into that egg?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Got a hard disk platter handy?
-{Citizen}- Akhafta: Might lean it on it's side and drill a hole into it
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: I think I am gonna make a hole.. climb in and eat from
the inside out
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Stand it on its end, and push a CD-ROM vertically into the
top of it. It should divide it fairly cleanly.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: (Tip: Dust off the CD first. :) )
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: Ros, does this geekyness come with practise?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: It's called "necessity is the mother of invention, and
improvisation is the father".
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: CD rom indeed.. we all know that I am going to attach a
USB fan to my pc, remove the safety cage and use that to segment
the egg.. CD indeed
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: In other words, I eat a lot of chocolate while surrounded
by geeky toys, and thus find out what the best combinations of both
are
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Bah, USB fans are kid's stuff. No. If you want to go
removing safety cages, keep the CD idea. Do it while you burn!
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: or maybe I can attach a knife to a small usb robot, and
write a LOGO program to control its movements for the perfectly
equal size of each piece
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: OR, place two PC's face to face with the egg between, and
write a batch program to send a singnal over the network to open
BOTH trays at once and crack the egg?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav lets out a resounding cheer.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: That would do spectacularly.
-{Citizen}- Shykiran goes for the ultimate techie breaking.. and drops a small
HP7700 workstation in the egg from 3 foot above.. chocolate for ALL
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Ooh, this isn't just about breaking an egg. This is about
Chocolate Distribution Systems!
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: CDS is a highly advanced form of technology I have only
touched on
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Touched very firmly, but only touched.
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: I think its an overrated technoolgoy and prefer the
IDSMFC approach
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: I DONT SHARE MY FUCKING CHOCOLATE
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Ahh yes, the SCO wars
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Chocware Patents.
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: of course I could upgrade to patch 2 - UTT revsion
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: UNLESS TWOFOOT THICK
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: You know, if this falls on my foot, I am in a plaster
cast..
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: I am a firm believer in free chocolate - "free as in
speech, not free as in beer" - and I'm sure that Sourceforge would
have some open source chocolate that you could probably integrate
into your current egg.
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: sounds like a plan.. of course, I could make it
'shareware' ie, I give you chocolate, but within 30 days you must
promise to give me some cookies in return for eating my chocolate
which I just shared with you
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: And if I don't give you cookies, your chocolate will stop
digesting in my stomach and pop up a burp saying, "Send cookies!"
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: that would be a neat trick, but a bit invasive...
installing burpware is frowned upon
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: of course, there would be no hidden easter eggs in this
chocolate..
-{Citizen}- Levastire: how can I uninstall your collective dorkware off this
channel
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: help tune
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: tune citizen works well.. sorry, I was trying to talk
Rosspeech.. and its hard to stop
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: help me.. please..
-{Citizen}- Levastire: "dorkware." I like that term
-{Citizen}- Rosuav welcomes Shykiran to the club
-{Citizen}- Levastire: don't get too attached to talking to Rosuav. he logs
everything, then once in a while displays such in a really weird,
quasi-stalkerish moment
-{Citizen}- Shykiran laughs
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: You mean like this?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: 20070214: [court] Levastire hugs Rosuav
-{Citizen}- Levastire: yeah, that's a great example
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Karahd [court] melee pae Hey baby, you feeling lonely
tonight?
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: Levastire, that destroys your reputation.. sue him
-{Citizen}- Levastire: hardly. I did it for gear
-{Citizen}- Levastire: and for gear, I'd do it again
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: You never know when Dal is watching!!!!111one
-{Citizen}- Levastire: no, -you- never know when Dal is watching. -I- have a
pretty good idea
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Au contraire, Levastire, there's such a thing as mudmailing
logs.
-{Citizen}- Levastire: logs of my being mean to you? do you really think
that's such an infrequent occurrance so as to be really needing
record?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: No, but logs of you being nice would be.
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: A log of Levastire being polite would probably arrive in
Dal's inbox 42 times.
-{Citizen}- Shykiran dangles a totem and holds out his arms to Levastire
wondering how far the love goes
-{Citizen}- Shykiran grins
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Shy, it has to be something that he can't get through IC
means. He already has half the MUD at his beck and call, it takes
Dalaena promising him a piece of armor to get him to give up
sarcasm for a specified duration.
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: Something he cant get through IC means huh?
-{Citizen}- Rosuav: Yeah. A piece of armor for a unique slot.
-{Citizen}- Shykiran: I do remember that Dal / Armor thing.. we all waited for
the time period to end.. waiting for the great climatic ourburst of
filth.. only to have him say "I dont feel like being nasty" or
something like that.. I am sure you have the log Ros

-{Citizen}- Abrianne: 5 years max.
-{Citizen}- Ysadri: Care to make a wager on that?
-{Citizen}- Abrianne: sure. whatcha wanna wager? a box of doughnuts?
-{Citizen}- Anthson: Yeah, let's wager. And I require odds, too, seeing as
you're so sure.
-{Citizen}- Anthson: 4-1? 5-1?
-{Citizen}- Anthson: 10-1, let's say.
-{Citizen}- Ysadri: Yes. If they're still open in five years, I get a box of
Krispy Kreme chocolate frosted whipped creme filled doughnuts.
-{Citizen}- Anthson: If they're not, you get one doughnut.
-{Citizen}- Anthson: 12-1 odds.
-{Citizen}- Ysadri: So if KK is still around, I get my box of doughnuts, if
not, you get a box of DD

Armon [trivia] damnit! lia stole my hot chocolate!
Armon [trivia] she tapped me on the shoulder, reached around the other side and
grabbed it, then ran into her room
