[18:03] <+CG> [discord] <azdesertrose> It's stupid hot here in Florida too
[18:03] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> Hey KK!
[18:03] <~bynw> ambient (air) temps in the upper 90s and heat index above 100
[18:03] * web12 is now known as KK
[18:04] <The_Bee> Hi kk
[18:04] <~bynw> Hi KK!
[18:04] <KK> Hello, all.
[18:04] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> That's pretty warm, alright...
[18:04] <HoundMistress> Hi, KK
[18:04] <~bynw> its corn sweat
[18:04] <+CG> [discord] <azdesertrose> We've had several days lately where the actual air temperature (not the heat index!) has been 100° F.
[18:04] <+CG> [discord] <azdesertrose> Hi KK!
[18:04] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> "corn sweat"?
[18:04] <+CG> [discord] <derynifank> We've had excessive heat warnings for most of the weekend. Yesterday when you stepped out of the  AC it felt like you stepped into an oven
[18:05] <The_Bee> Our next heat wave starts tomorrow.
[18:05] <HoundMistress> 92 here  but heat index is 100
[18:05] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Changed to my watch with the little animated Haldane on it for the occasion. 😂 (He has green eyes since gray wasn't an option.)
[18:05] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/479836521864888347/1399165848391913703/20250727_180409.jpg?ex=6888023d&is=6886b0bd&hm=34de42882f060ae5247b80f26828c5ed16b3b02bc404499223ff9784b66a3022&;
[18:05] <~bynw> 🌽 What Is Corn Sweat?
[18:05] <~bynw> Transpiration is when plants release water vapor from tiny pores in their leaves.
[18:05] <~bynw> Corn, being a tall and leafy crop, transpires a lot—especially during hot, humid weather.
[18:05] <~bynw> A single acre of corn can release 3,000 to 4,000 gallons of water per day into the air!
[18:05] <~bynw> 🌡� Why It Matters
[18:05] <~bynw> This added moisture can increase humidity levels, making already hot days feel even more oppressive.
[18:05] <~bynw> It can contribute to higher heat index values, which is the "feels-like" temperature.
[18:05] <~bynw> Meteorologists sometimes factor in corn sweat when forecasting weather in the Midwest U.S., especially during July and August.
[18:05] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> Heh, we're at 90 but it feels like 88°
[18:06] <+CG> [discord] <azdesertrose> My ISP is working on something so if I dip out, it's because my Internet declined to work.
[18:07] <KK> We were 90 earlier, but It's down to 82 now, with one thunderstorm a couple of hours ago and another about to happen.
[18:07] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> "Internet, you had ONE JOB...."
[18:07] <+CG> [discord] <azdesertrose> We haven't seen a high under 90 in a while, and I'm not sure the overnight low has been below 80 in a week or more.
[18:07] <The_Bee> 72f here
[18:08] <The_Bee> Is Daphne hiding yet?
[18:08] <~bynw> so nezz if you want to do the math of 3,000 to 4,000 gallons of water added to the air by each acre of corn per day ... there are about 13.5 million acres of corn in iowa
[18:09] <HoundMistress> We are hopefully only looking at 2 more months here in the excessive heat.
[18:09] <HoundMistress> Y
[18:09] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Have you considered growing gills, Bynw?
[18:09] <HoundMistress> Y'all can keep that corn moisture up there, please.
[18:10] <+CG> [discord] <azdesertrose> I wanna go back to England. Ladysmith was laughing about having turned me into a rugby fan (not a huge leap for a girl whose baby book proclaims that one of her first phrases was "fall down!" from watching tackles in US football) but also an English lady who is OVER the Florida heat.
[18:10] <KK> She bailed when the first storm came through, came out about half an hour ago, wanting to sit on my lap, but I very rudely made her get down so I could come into the office here.
[18:10] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> She can sit in your lap in the office.
[18:11] <~bynw> i was thinking i could get one of those tatoonie moisture vaporators and grab some of it back out of the air and sale it as fresh water
[18:11] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> We'll all say hi to her and make soothing noises
[18:11] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Mmmm, rugby ... burly men who often don't wear helmets, so you can see their faces ... and clothing that isn't bulky ....
[18:11] <+CG> [discord] <azdesertrose> Carys is napping by my feet.
[18:11] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> Shelly is in the kitty hammock between my knees (blanket over my legs)
[18:12] <KK> She'd rather prowl between keyboard and monitor. :-(
[18:12] <HoundMistress> Now that's the way to look at it, bynw! Turn inconvenience into profit.
[18:13] <+CG> [discord] <azdesertrose> Also the game play reminds me of the "schoolyard BS" scene from the remake of "The Longest Yard," all the lateral passing.
[18:13] <~bynw> all of the rain we have had this year has ended the state wide drought conditins
[18:13] <~bynw> *conditions
[18:14] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Drought has not exactly been a worry here this year. We've had at least a little rain on most days recently
[18:14] <HoundMistress> We are finally mostly out of drought but got there in a bad way.
[18:15] <The_Bee> floods are a bad way to end a drought.
[18:15] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> We've had enough snow in the mountains for the past couple of years that we're not in any droughts. Reservoirs are nice and full.
[18:15] <HoundMistress> It is, Bee. Our weather guys said it always happens that way here.
[18:16] <HoundMistress> Lake Travis went up about 40 feet.
[18:16] <The_Bee> Have they found the last three missing persons yet?
[18:16] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Lake Travis being the reservoir.
[18:16] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> We get floods about once every 40 years or so. Our last big one was '83.
[18:16] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Went from like 45% full to 90% full.
[18:17] <KK> Which missing persons, Bee?
[18:17] <HoundMistress> They found 1, and another person that was missing from Kerrville itself. 1 man and 1 child still missing.
[18:17] <KK> Ah, Texas.
[18:17] <The_Bee> ;(
[18:18] <HoundMistress> Yes, it's not an easy place to live.
[18:18] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Sometimes an easy place to die.
[18:18] <HoundMistress> Sometimes
[18:19] <HoundMistress> The pioneers here had to be touch as nails.
[18:19] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> KXAN says that the current known death toll is 135 (as of two days ago), 4 missing then.
[18:19] <KK> Chris, congrats on your one-year housiversary.
[18:20] <HoundMistress> Has it already been a year, Chris?
[18:20] <~bynw> thanks. it's was a great day to celebrate
[18:20] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Happy House averersary, Chris
[18:20] <+CG> [discord] <derynifank> Yay for you and Kelly
[18:21] <KK> Makes a big difference from renting.
[18:21] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> What sort of ring do you get for your house? Do they like diamonds, or do they prefer colored gemstones?
[18:21] <~bynw> there are advantages and disadvantages to both
[18:21] <HoundMistress> The problem being that all the upkeep falls on you.
[18:21] <+CG> [discord] <derynifank> It's raining hard , hoping it will cool things off a bit.
[18:22] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Houses like furnature.  and not the IKia kind
[18:22] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> Yeah, there's a lot to be said for picking up the phone and telling the owner "the furnace isn't working, come do something about it."
[18:23] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> When you find a workman you like, keep their card on hand,  you never know
[18:23] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> It was weird going from renting to owning. Before, it's "what's that odd sound? Maybe I'll tell the office on Monday". Owning, "oh $DEITY what's that noise is it water is it imminent collapse oh $DEITY am I totally doomed?!?!?!?!?!?!??!"
[18:23] <~bynw> or in our case, the AC, furnace, and water heater all needed to be replaced 3 weeks after we moved in due to age
[18:23] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> It's amazing how fast water became my mortal enemy and nemesis.
[18:23] <The_Bee> My heat and my air conditioner were both running this morning.  at the same time.
[18:23] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> The upside to that is, it's on someone else's plate (and expense). The downside to that is, it's also on their timetable.  DD spent an uncomfortable month a few summers ago in a house with no working a/c, and had to borrow an old window unit from us because it took her landlord a few weeks to get around to fixing it
[18:24] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> That is what the buy insurance is for.  all those bad appliances.
[18:24] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Oh, Lord, bynw. For me, it was "just" the roof ... except it's a condo, so I had no control over the roof whatsoever. (It did turn out well for me though.)
[18:24] <~bynw> we did and they didnt cover the expense due to some little line in their contract that it happened too soon
[18:25] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> NUTS
[18:25] <HoundMistress> Were the sellers aware of it?
[18:25] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Then  the inspectors screwed up.
[18:25] <~bynw> so we aren't renewing that policy at all
[18:25] <HoundMistress> Don't blame you!!
[18:26] <~bynw> everyone knew of the age and its potential to fail ... but was running when we bought it
[18:26] <+CG> [discord] <derynifank> and finding competent reliable repairmen is a hard job
[18:26] <HoundMistress> That sucks!
[18:27] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> 😦
[18:27] <~bynw> due to the warranty company's working relationship with our realator we got a token $600 from them otherwise we would have gotten jack squat
[18:27] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> After 30 years  I have a good list of a handfull of repairmen that I truest
[18:27] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Yeah, I think the inspector or the warranty company sound blameworthy there.
[18:27] <HoundMistress> What a pittance
[18:28] <+CG> [discord] <derynifank> Yeah, then they up and retire and you have to start all over
[18:28] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> So true
[18:28] <~bynw> we did have a good handy man that did some work for us while we were renting and we used him when we moved in here ... but then he moved out of the area ;(
[18:29] <+CG> [discord] <derynifank> A good handyman is worth his weight in gold or more
[18:30] <HoundMistress> And they know it.
[18:30] <KK> Absolutely. I have the Magical Junior Scott, who can fix just about anything, or knows someone who can; plus, he does the yard, puts down snake-away.
[18:31] <HoundMistress> Wow! Can you clone him?
[18:31] <+CG> [discord] <derynifank> Do you havea lot of snakes/
[18:31] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Snakes often eat more things that you don't want.
[18:31] <+CG> [discord] <derynifank> TRue
[18:31] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> You mean like little Daphnes?
[18:32] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I don't think they have anacondas in VA.  😉
[18:32] <HoundMistress> Yes, the non poisonous snakes keep down rats and mice.
[18:32] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> growing up, we had a blacksnake or garter snake living under the front sidewalk. We called it Hiss Hiss. It would sun itself on the front walk sometimes. Eventually we relocated it to some woods, but I don't remember why.
[18:32] <+CG> [discord] <derynifank> THe storm seems to be subsiding but mught return. Now we hav flash flood watchs
[18:32] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> Oh, you're saying they eat more things that you don't want around, not thing that you don't want them to eat.
[18:33] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> Oh, you're saying they eat more things that you don't want around, not things that you don't want them to eat.
[18:33] <+CG> [discord] <derynifank> THe storm seems to be subsiding but might return. Now we have flash flood watches
[18:33] <KK> He's like an old-time family retainer. Does my snow handling, too. He's been with me for about 7 years, right after Scott died.
[18:33] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yeah. I don't mind the occasional rat snake or such in my yard since they keep pests down. I do draw the line at one wandering into my house, which happened once.
[18:33] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Oh. right!
[18:34] <~bynw> it's good that you have him around KK
[18:34] <HoundMistress> Gosh, KK, has it been that long?
[18:34] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Yeah, that hardly seems possible
[18:36] <KK> Yep, February 25, 2019.
[18:36] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I still remember having a brief but pleasant chat with Scott at Dragoncon while you had gone to change clothes or something. That doesn't feel like more than five years ago, but I guess it must have been closer to ten now.
[18:37] <HoundMistress> Time just flies by now
[18:37] <~bynw> Scott was a great person to have conversations with at cons. Had several myself sitting in the Rampart Lion at Darkover
[18:39] <KK> Well, you guys shared a common birthday, so you had things in common besides being Deryni fans.
[18:39] <~bynw> this is true
[18:39] <~bynw> we pisces stick together
[18:40] <HoundMistress> I'm a pisces, too
[18:41] <~bynw> awesome HoundMistress
[18:41] <HoundMistress> Yay!!
[18:42] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> I will stick with Kelson as Scorpios
[18:43] <+CG> [discord] <derynifank> Any Leos around?
[18:43] <HoundMistress> Gotta watch those Scorpios! They're tricksey!
[18:43] <The_Bee> Aries here
[18:43] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> I'm a Dragon Ram. The two most agressive types. And I'm almost the total opposite.
[18:44] <The_Bee> Goar Ram
[18:44] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I'm allegedly a Sagittarius, although no horoscope for that sign that I've ever read has ever fit me.
[18:44] <The_Bee> Goat
[18:44] <KK> Kelson shares a birthday with King Charles III.
[18:44] <KK> I'm a Libra.
[18:44] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Further proof that the House of Windsor is Deryni
[18:44] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Born on Cambermas
[18:44] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Oh?  Curious.  is that on purpose?
[18:44] <HoundMistress> LOL! True, Evie!
[18:45] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> KK, didn't you mention that it was deliberate that Kelson was born on Cambermas?
[18:45] <The_Bee> I was born on the Vernal Equinox, but it's since moved to March 20.
[18:46] <The_Bee> theequinox, not my birthday
[18:46] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> 😄
[18:46] <HoundMistress> Some people like to move their own birthdays.
[18:47] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My grandmother's birthday "moved" at one point, but that was because she grew up thinking her birthday was on a certain day, then discovered on her birth certificate years later that it had a different date written on it.
[18:47] <KK> I'd forgotten that Kelson was born on Cambermas. And quite possible that the house of Windsor might be Deryni,
[18:47] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Lizard people from Arcturus can be Deryni?
[18:47] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Love it
[18:47] <HoundMistress> Yes, I think William is a lot like Kelson
[18:48] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I think what happened in my grandmother's case was that she was born on the 16th, but it was a home birth (as many were back then) and they didn't get the birth certificate filled out until the 20th, and the 20th was the date that ended up written on the certificate.
[18:48] <The_Bee> George Washington was born onFebruary 11; he mved it to the 22 after they changed the calendar.
[18:48] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> but William will not duel with the current Jacobite pretender in Canterbury Cathedral on his 14th birthday + 1.
[18:49] <HoundMistress> No, that didn't happen.
[18:49] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Let us hope not TM
[18:49] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> Maybe he was but they kept it hushed up
[18:49] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> lol
[18:49] <HoundMistress> Could be!
[18:49] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Pretty sure tourists would have been there.
[18:49] <KK> I chose the Cambermas date much later.  I originally had him share Charles' birthday.
[18:49] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> hi everyone!
[18:49] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Hello Jerusha
[18:49] <The_Bee> hi jerusha

[18:49] <HoundMistress> Hi, Jerusha
[18:50] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Sorry to be late; baking cookies resulted in way too many dishes to clean up
[18:50] <HoundMistress> But for a good cause!
[18:50] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> But that means you have cookies to share with us now, right?
[18:50] <~bynw> hi Jerusha
[18:50] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Cookie Monster, here
[18:51] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> Oooh, I want cookies
[18:51] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Umm, maybe....
[18:51] <~bynw> cookies? i like cookies
[18:51] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> What sort of cookies are we having?
[18:51] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> Oh come on! Who gives Hammy peanuts?
[18:51] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Only if you like chocolate on top of chocolate on top of chocolate
[18:51] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> YUMMM
[18:51] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> That sounds like almost enough chocolate
[18:52] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Chocolate cookies with mint chocolate chips with a hershey kiss on top
[18:52] <KK> Ummmm, lots of chocolate.
[18:52] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> Wow
[18:52] <The_Bee> YUMMMMM!
[18:52] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Sounds good
[18:52] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Portal addrss is 867-5309-ee-ine
[18:53] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> You forced me to get a handful of chocolate chips and almounds
[18:53] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> I humbly apologise
[18:53] <+CG> [discord] <derynifank> Want mint chocolate cookies!!!
[18:53] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[18:53] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> While licking chocolate off of my fingers
[18:53] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> My watch just stuck its tongue out at me! LOL!  (Animated little Haldane prince cartoon figure)
[18:53] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> MEanie
[18:54] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Hammy is not allowed chocolate.  (More for me)
[18:55] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> He says hi
[18:55] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/479836521864888347/1399178344863367268/20250727_185437.jpg?ex=68880de0&is=6886bc60&hm=10025eadff0c18c2fcef4f4a7afa9c0f3434545dcaa48f120301edd1fb7c21e6&;
[18:55] * +CG [discord] <stnezz> sends Hammy more peanuts
[18:55] <HoundMistress> Love it!!
[18:55] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Hammy is happy
[18:55] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> That is crazy, Evie
[18:56] <KK> Tell me aout this Hammy, please.
[18:56] <The_Bee> Jerusha, are the wildfires anywhere near your part of Canada?  We've had smoke from them in New England.
[18:56] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> Now I'm wondering: what makes the watch do things? But answer KK first, of course!
[18:56] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> He's cute, but bad for my battery life, so I'll probably go back to a more boring watch face before bedtime.
[18:56] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Hammy is the hamster that runs on the wheel in my brain.  Hammy is responsible for all writing input, and a few crazy ideas
[18:57] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Just a little smoke, Bee.  Most of it stays to the west.
[18:57] <The_Bee> good
[18:57] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> We Like Hammy and we like to intice her with Penutes
[18:57] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> The hamster that runs on the wheel in my brain is apparently The Brain from "Pinky and the Brain," and he's trying to take over Orsal and Tralia at the moment.  😉
[18:57] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> And macadamia nut on a good day
[18:58] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Go Evie
[18:58] <HoundMistress> I have a friend who lives somewhere near Vancouver.
[18:58] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> and your hamster
[18:59] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> BTW, Jerusha, I have a request for Hammy, so don't take off until I get the chance to ask you about it.
[18:59] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> OK

[19:00] <KK> Tee-hee> I know about brain hamsters.
[19:00] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> But is you want a dungeon scene, it's an extra two peanutw
[19:00] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> peanuts, that is
[19:00] <HoundMistress> LOL!
[19:01] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> No no, no dungeons. Just two people trying to fall in love, awkwardly. Or trying to not fall in love. Equally awkwardly.
[19:01] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Nezz, your message disappeared
[19:01] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Ah, so Trevor then?
[19:01] * ~bynw fondly remembers the original internet sensation of the hamster dance

[19:02] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> Never seen that before
[19:02] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> DH did a great imitation of that
[19:02] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> My message disappeared?
[19:03] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> It was there for a minute, and then was gone.  Maybe something I did or did not do
[19:03] <~bynw> the original from the wayback machine ... but no sound https://web.archive.org/web/19991128125537/http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Bluffs/4157/hampdance.html
[19:04] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> You have to have sound!
[19:04] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Geocities. That's been a minute ago.
[19:04] <KK> I was looking for sound. But if this was an internet sensation, might it have happened while I was in Ireland?
[19:05] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I still have my ancient Angelfire website, though I only go there if I want to find certain baby pics
[19:05] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Read most of it, Nezz.  I get the gist.  /me pokes Hammy
[19:05] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Probably
[19:05] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> Did you see it on the other server?
[19:06] <KK> There was a 1997 date somewhere on one of those sites. Makes sense.
[19:06] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Jerusha, if it was a Discord DM, look in the top left sidebar under the topmost Discord icon to find private messages
[19:06] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Wow, my DD was born that year
[19:06] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> Not PM, just on our FS server.
[19:07] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> Ah
[19:07] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6WpMlwVwydo is as close as I can find quickly.
[19:07] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> with video (a bit laggy) and sound.
[19:08] <The_Bee> I just got a "Video Unavailable" message.
[19:08] <HoundMistress> Oh, now I remember it
[19:08] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> You have to click the link below that that says "Watch on YouTube"
[19:09] <~bynw> that brings back memories
[19:09] <The_Bee> Yes. it was removedby the owner.
[19:09] <KK> I think I do remember that music, and probably saw the video....many years ago.
[19:09] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> It's still there. You just need to click on that link
[19:09] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> No recollection here about that song.  but who would have guessed that 1997 was so un animated
[19:10] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I think that tune was originally from the animated Robin Hood Disney movie where Robin and Maid Marian were foxes.
[19:10] <~bynw> it was all the rage back then ... a moving gif based website with sound? that was high tech
[19:11] <The_Bee> The link keepsvanishing on my screen.
[19:11] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I still have fond memories of sheep.exe
[19:11] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> Oh my gosh, Sheep!!!!
[19:11] <HoundMistress> There were a bunch of those types of things back when.
[19:12] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> And also the prank one that you could send as an email attachment to someone, and if they clicked on it, their entire screen view would turn upside-down until they pressed "Esc" to cancel it.
[19:12] <+CG> [discord] <tm_9039> The link is youtube.com followed by /watch?v=6WpMlwVwydo
[19:12] <~bynw> yeah sheep.exe was good. i think there is still a version of out out there for modern computers
[19:12] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> If there is, I haven't found it.
[19:12] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> Dancing Baby came out around the same time.
[19:13] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I also remember the Flying Toasters screensaver
[19:13] <HoundMistress> Oh, I remember Dancing Baby, too!
[19:13] <~bynw> its eSheep in the microsoft store Evie
[19:13] * +CG [discord] <stnezz> slips Hammy a couple of macadamia nut cookies under the table.
[19:13] <HoundMistress> How things have changed!
[19:14] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> Hammy stashes them to be savoured during turning the wheel
[19:14] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> I just remember Playing Lemmings for hours at a time
[19:15] <+CG> [discord] <stnezz> Yesssssssss... Lemmings
[19:15] <+CG> [discord] <jerusha2> A real cliff-hanger
[19:15] <+CG> [discord] <laurnarose> LOL
[19:16] <HoundMistress> (y)
[19:18] <+CG> [discord] <evie.delacourt> I have a little sheep walking along my toolbar. LOL!
