A bunch of us on IRC were sitting around bored, until this happened... [Thanks to infinity for filling in the gaps in my logs. This has been edited for appearence, but not content. Yeah, the lines are too long. Deal.] <asuffield> here's an analogy for you: next time we elect a DPL, we put up a poll on debianplanet.org and see who the users want <Overfiend> asuffield: uh, that already happened <asuffield> Overfiend: yeah, but we didn't pay any attention to the results ;) <nwp> Overfiend: it's supposed to be bdale that pops up then DPL is mentioned... <nwp> s/then/when/ <asuffield> . o O (Overfiend has "DPL" as a highlighting keyword) <nwp> ;) <infinity> Branden for DPL in 2005! (he's bound to win eventually...) <asuffield> yeah, after sufficient rejections he'll give in to temptation and have all the other candidates assassinated <infinity> Seems logical. <infinity> I'd elect a man with clear thought processes like that... <nod> <asuffield> or maybe he's already controlling the project, with bdale as his puppet <infinity> An incredibly large puppet. <asuffield> heh <infinity> Less like a hand-puppet, and more like a full body suit. <asuffield> eew. I didn't need to hear that. <nwp> infinity: but we have the photos of them both *in the same place at the same time* <infinity> "My god, the DPL is actually Branden in a bdale suit!" <Clint> nwp: you couldn't see the Sodomotron in that picture <infinity> nwp : The suit was stuffed, maybe? <luca> would Branden fit a bdale suit? <infinity> luca : With football padding and such, maybe. <LoRez> luca: I'm sure. <infinity> (American football, that is) <nwp> think "mechwarrior" * luca/#debian-devel would walk away from bdale if he ever saw him in an alley <infinity> <laugh>.. Branden's in a little pod in the bdale-suit's head? <asuffield> bah, why do I always drop off when I'm doing something interesting? <asuffield> nwp: we have a photo of a big guy fighting a little guy <asuffield> I've never met either of them; it could easily be a fake <nwp> asuffield: like the moon landings, you mean... ;) <Clint> both those people in the picture were actually Bruce Perens in disguise <asuffield> yes, those were filmed in a fish tank in russia <ifvoid> asuffield: yeah. All developers are actually person ;) <nwp> Clint: so Bruce *is* DPL? * Clint/#debian-devel ponders. * infinity notes that Overfiend isn't contributing to this in the least... <infinity> Clearly he's panicking. <Clint> Bruce is the puppetmaster. <infinity> Or gearing up and getting in the bdale-mech to come kill us. <ifvoid> he lost his cover <Clint> and ESR is the secret figurehead <asuffield> we've found him out. he's probably withdrawing all the money from the SPI accounts and booking a plane to some african nation <nwp> ...at which point he will collect the cash from all the 419 scams he's been orchestrating... <dieman> heh <infinity> nwp : Egads!.. You're not suggesting that lilo is another incarnation of Overfiend? <nwp> ...send half of it to lilo... <nwp> infinity: hadn't thought of that, but... <infinity> It makes perfect sense... Obviously he has a 42,000 purchase to make, and the SPI funds won't quite cover it. <ifvoid> heh <infinity> Probably need a new battery for the bdale suit, or something. <infinity> s/need/needs/ <Clint> Ah, but you can't get PayPal in Nigeria. * nwp/#debian-devel pictures OF inside the powered-off bdale suit, hammering on the hatch shouting "let me out"... <infinity> See, now this is the kind of thing that needs to be posted to -curiosa <infinity> Could brighten up the day for all 6 subscribers. -- .''`. ** Debian GNU/Linux ** | Andrew Suffield : :' : http://www.debian.org/ | Dept. of Computing, `. `' | Imperial College, `- -><- | London, UK
