I'm going to see to Wesley, see if he's still whimpering.

Only if you have magic wish granting abilities, Gus.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Not even close, Gus. Not even close.

Though I am half-naked.

All is well that ends in pizza.

Though I am half-naked.

And I'm beltless, AIFG!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Gus's clocks are still cuckoo. Third time's the charm?

Bag the crypto. Say what is on your mind.

Make the goils crazy, P-C. That molten-bronze shirtless heat, with those abdomnial accents...

You posted that on purpose, right?

'Fess up!

t Does arithmetic. Wonders if dcp has gotten all the timezone news

Ok. I count on my fingers. It is not even 20:30, board time.

I think one (perhaps both) of us have stayed up too late. I'm gonna get some sleep, if I can.

I taunt Gus with a fairwell emoticon:

Sorry, folks. Arithmetic boys have to do these things.

11:19:45 + 9 = 20:19:45. Is this less than 20:30:00?

In most worlds, yes.

Clock arithmetic:

Why did you add +9 to board time?

Board time was 11:19:45 pm PDT = 23:19:45 PDT Saturday

PDT+7 = GMT

23:19:45 PDT Saturday = 06:19:45 GMT Sunday = 07:19:45 Sunday morning Bern local time (GMT+1, as per your post #2444 in Natter).

A clock that turns 23:19:45 PDT into "not even 20:30" would have to be in, say, Samoa.

Aha! Gus, that sly dog, has escaped his staid Swiss employers and is secretly loafing on the beach!

More clock arithmetic.

OK, I look at the post where I said it was eight pm board time, and right above it, the post's timestamp saying it is 11. First drunken error.

It is around 5:30 PM here. In LA, it is around 8:30 AM. That is eight hours. Ah. Holy crap. Second drunken error.

23:19 is in fact greater than 20:30. I checked. Twice.

Third drunken error: arguing math with dcp.
