Wow. I'm so proud to have been involved.

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 17:14 (twenty-three years ago)

My utterly out of context John Darnielle line is wondrous to see this way. (He had just joined the chat, to explain it.)

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 17:16 (twenty-three years ago)

I think this is the second or third posted chat transcript in which my sole contribution is "be right back"

― Chris Barrus (Chris Barrus), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 17:18 (twenty-three years ago)

Ah, what a beautiful resume it would be that were adorned with the "Masculine-Bovine Seminal Fluid Extraction Technician" title under 'previous experience'.

Use it nickalicious; I'll be your reference!

― Nick Southall (Nick Southall), Tuesday, 27 May 2003 17:21 (twenty-three years ago)

the part that gets me is "need to be small and quite brave"

You should go and read the opening passage of Emile Zola's The Earth (I think it's that one) which features a young woman taking a bull to mate with a cow, and her having to give it a literal helping hand. The book was banned in England because of this section.

Imagine being a chinaman in a bull ring.

― Sam (chirombo), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 11:12 (twenty-three years ago)

I want to hear more about the bull in the shop. Do people in Lancaster also have bees in their bonnet? Do they throw babies out with bathwater?

― teeny (teeny), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 11:17 (twenty-three years ago)

I thought this was a great story, till I read they shot it dead in the shop.

― Vicky (Vicky), Wednesday, 28 May 2003 11:20 (twenty-three years ago)

Saki to thread!
