[Harpoetta]: what!
[Jamz]: nite Fred
[Fitzwilly]: Hey Bodiddly, didn't see you come in.
[saphireSue]: I kinda felt bad for the first on, I think he was nervous he just couldn't get it together.
[Bodiddly]: im here just reading the chat
[Fitzwilly]: Like your dad has Katie, only older.
[Mr. Dazzle]: ok fitz... read fast
[Bodiddly]: no kidding
[Harpoetta]: oh
[saphireSue]: Have a cool night Fred... icy...
[Fitzwilly]: Hey DJ, how are you doing. I haven't talked to you in a long time.
[Jamz]: my cutting a doll in half has been going over big people are asking me to do it atr their parties
[djtheclown205]: I know I am good. What about you?
[Harpoetta]: that's good Jamz
[Bodiddly]: how does that work Jamz
[Jamz]: I got to have someone tape it for me
[Bodiddly]: i would like to watch it
[Jamz]: I got a doll in half then when Iput it together I use tape nails and staples the pull out a dolll thats taped and stapled at the end
[saphireSue]: it looks like a doll not a little girl doesn't it, that bird look real til he popped off the head
[Jamz]: yes its a doll I explain why I use a doll at the begining
[Bodiddly]: let me guess u hate dolls
[Harpoetta]: It may have been a real dove, I have seen people do it with live birds, and restore te head
[Jamz]: because real people want to get paid and my insurance company said NO way
[Luki Loki]: I'll stick with turning dove feathers into a rabbit named dove
[Harpoetta]: lol
[saphireSue]: He used a real bird, then switched it, pull the head of a fake one, then showed the other unharmed but by then it was to late, they'd buzzed him.
[Fred Baisch]: :zzz::zzz:Hey How come I can't make the little smiley faces work?
[Jamz]: live animals are safer awaay from me
[Mr. Dazzle]: the first time I saw a guy do a sponge ball routine he related it to sawing someone in half... He said he started learning magic when he was 8 years olf.... and knowing really trusts an 8year old boy with a saw.... and his sister refused to be his assistant... so He had to learn with a little foam ball and his finger... ... so he took the foam ball and proceeded to saw it in half making it two whole balls
[Harpoetta]: are you trying in the right spot, Dad?
[Harpoetta]: lol
[saphireSue]: do you mean by your name Fred? go to the option button, then effect and check the boxes
[Jamz]: click on options the effects
[Fitzwilly]: I am so far behind!!!!!!
[Fred Baisch]: How come in my typing box I get zzz's and discriptions but when I sen it it comes out smiley faces?
[djtheclown205]: fred your smiley face is working just fine.
[Harpoetta]: are you sur he switched it, Sue? I know of at least 2 ways of doing it without switching the bird
[Fred Baisch]: It's like Magic!
[djtheclown205]: I know. Its so great.
[Jamz]: BRB dog wants out
[saphireSue]: well atleast the head was fake, when they did the close up on it.
[Bodiddly]: Fitz do u feel left behind
[Harpoetta]: yes, that was fake, but he probably did not switch the bird out for a fake
[Fred Baisch]: Good night All:zzz:
[djtheclown205]: Night fred. sleep fast.
[Fitzwilly]: I do! I got kicked off and then I watched my computer connect and disconnect, repeat and repeat. I finally had to shut every thing down and start over.

[Luki Loki]: sleep is for whimps that can't handle insomnia
[djtheclown205]: I will make sure does do those chores Fred.
[Fitzwilly]: Hey Dubble L, how was your day?
[saphireSue]: as far as the bird goes, real or not, I expected to see blood, Honestly I think it's probl. a great trick for night clubs, adult venues, but not what I'd consider family oriented.
[Willace-the-Clown]: I stay up all night & sleep all day
[Luki Loki]: I agree with Sue
[Harpoetta]: very true Sue, very true
[Mr. Dazzle]: I don;t really like dove magic
[Luki Loki]: What's going on Fitz?
[Harpoetta]: how come RD?
[Mr. Dazzle]: I don't really like birds
[Luki Loki]: My dove must have been on steroids. I can't find props big enough for him
[Harpoetta]: oh
[saphireSue]: I like to see the production where animals are produced, like doves, rabbits,
[djtheclown205]: Go MOOSECAMP!!!!!!:clap:
[Harpoetta]: maybe you're just feeding him too much
[Harpoetta]: hey Gladman
[Mr. Dazzle]: I'd love to find / build a box big enough that I could produce Ollie from.

[Luki Loki]: Hi gladman
[djtheclown205]: Hecks yes!!!!
[Fitzwilly]: Hey Gladman.
[Bodiddly]: Hi Gladman
[saphireSue]: I don't do any with animals, I'd prob. forget they were there and smoosh, squish or some thing else and then oooooo not me.
[Harpoetta]: that would be cool RD
[Fitzwilly]: LL - I will get another email or more out to you. I have really be having trouble with my internet connect the last couple of days.
[Bodiddly]: I wish it was before the 4th of July
[Gladman]: We were in Macon childrens hospita. with a theraby dog that is being certified. I wore my big hat and nose
[djtheclown205]: Its my second year and I can't wait!!!!!
[Mr. Dazzle]: I think so too
[Gladman]: therapy
[Mr. Dazzle]: So willace... you'll be clowning it up on the 4th right??
[Harpoetta]: Luki, how do you feed your dove, do you measure out his food every day, or do you just put a bunch in when his dish is empty?
[Mr. Dazzle]: putting that new outfit to good use
[saphireSue]: Howdy Gladman
[Bodiddly]: I will be in makup 6hr on the 5th of July
[Luki Loki]: he gets a pill bottle full a day
[Gladman]: Jamz, I'll be near Springfield on the 5th
[Luki Loki]: he was to long and big before I got him
[Gladman]: Hey Susan,Will, and all
[djtheclown205]: hey.
[Harpoetta]: how long does it take him to finish all of th food in that pill bottle?
[Luki Loki]: never timed it
[Luki Loki]: he likes to pick and choose the seed
[Harpoetta]: ok, next time, if you can, time how long it takes him to eat it, if it takes longer than 5 minutes, cut back on his food until it takes him 5 minutes to finish everything in his food dish, but make sure he always has clean water
[Fitzwilly]: But from what you told me Luki he is very particular about the timing of his steroid shots.
[Luki Loki]: Water he always has along with a bath during his free flight time
[Willace-the-Clown]: i donno what i'm doing on the 4th
[Harpoetta]: as far as being to long, have you trie trimming his tail feathers? most dove productions are made fro doves with trimmied tails
[Luki Loki]: I trim his wings but not his tail
[Jamz]: Cool give me a call Ill buy youa steak
[Harpoetta]: Are you familiar at all with Fielding West? He's worked Vegas for about 20 yrs, he's best friends with Lance Burton and Johnny Tompson
[Luki Loki]: never heard of Feilding
[Gladman]: yeah, why the tail? we trim only one chicken wing so they won't fly. I really don't know where this conversation has been. Sorry
[djtheclown205]: Hey everyone I think I am going say good night because I have work and school in the moring.
[Mr. Dazzle]: I've got work tomorrow aswell... so I better hit the sack aswell...
[Luki Loki]: nite DJ
[saphireSue]: Good night dj
[Mr. Dazzle]: Hey Fitz... Thanks in advance
[Luki Loki]: l8r dazzle
[Fitzwilly]: Sounds like polish chickens Gladman, they fly around in circles.
[saphireSue]: goodnight dazzle
[Mr. Dazzle]: night Sue
[Harpoetta]: all 3 of these guys have been working with doves for over 30 yrs or more each
[Fitzwilly]: DJ, are you taking summer classes? What for?
[Gladman]: Pm mw with the info like exit, reataurant, phone #. I knoe I have it all somewhere
[Fitzwilly]: Night RD, your welcome.
[djtheclown205]: Its been fun and I hope everyone has a fun and safe 4th of july. Anyone with gigs that day bump a nose/break a leg!!!!!!!:up:
[Willace-the-Clown]: just us 9 left
[Jamz]: ok I send you all the info
[Gladman]: nighr djth
[Luki Loki]: about 8 months for me with no books or video to help train the bird
[Harpoetta]: they trim the tails because when a doves tail grows, it grows unevenly, and it looks nicer for the audience when they have an evenly fanned audience. You give the dove only as much food as it can eat in 5 minutes, this keeps the dove from getting fat.
[Gladman]: Sounds challanging Luki
[Harpoetta]: evenly fanned til, I lost track of what I was saying
[Fitzwilly]: Works for people too I assume.
[Harpoetta]: *tail
[Luki Loki]: LOL I can read most typonese
[Harpoetta]: Lance has had one of his doves for 26 years
[Luki Loki]: wow
[Gladman]: makes sense harpo and fitz:clap:
[Harpoetta]: and johnny has had one of his for almost 30 years
[Fitzwilly]: Is that the stuffed one on his mantle Katie?
[Luki Loki]: they are hard to come by here
[Harpoetta]: no, Danny, these are birds that they use in their shows everyday
[Harpoetta]: and they ARE alive
[Fitzwilly]: JK
[Gladman]: 30 year old dove? that's great
[saphireSue]: I see them out side once in while, but haven't been able to sprinkle the salt on any of them
[Luki Loki]: LOL
[Gladman]: has to be sea salt sue
[Luki Loki]: My white dove looks forlornly at the morning doves outside
[Fitzwilly]: Sue, try rock salt (from a 20 guage) I hear that works.
[saphireSue]: LOL
[Harpoetta]: Lance gives his doves as much food as they can eat for five minutes right after they have finished their part of the performance for the evening, this cuts down on they amount of 'accidents' on the magician's tux
[Gladman]: funny guy tonight, Fitz
[Luki Loki]: Fitz go sit in the corner and quit being naughty
[Fitzwilly]: From my posts you would never know I love animals.
[saphireSue]: Hey we sure tried it when I was young, salt shaker , ready to go.
[Gladman]: we did too. Only worked with chickens

[Fitzwilly]: Jamz is back!
[Luki Loki]: jamz got stuck in the revolving door
[Luki Loki]: anyone know the fastest way yo blow up a balloon?
[Fitzwilly]: What LL?
[saphireSue]: ???
[Luki Loki]: dynomite
[Luki Loki]: the kids love that one when I pull out a fake stick
[Harpoetta]: I'm back, good joke LL
[Luki Loki]: parents groan so I'm happy
[saphireSue]: I'll have to remember that one.
[Luki Loki]: wb harpoetta. Pup happy now>
[Harpoetta]: yup
[saphireSue]: ever do the routine where you have them tell you how to blow one up and you do what they say litterally, "put it in your mouth" so you put the whole balloon in you mouth and blow it out?
[Harpoetta]: though I don't know that you could really call her a pup, she's 11 yrs old
[Luki Loki]: age is a sstate of mind
[Luki Loki]: my oldest pup is 3ish
[Harpoetta]: for her it's more of a state of body, poor girl's had a bum leg since before we got her 10 and a half yrs ago
[Fitzwilly]: I have before but putting it completely in your mouth and spitting it out just isn't that nice, and I don't want to encourage the young ones to put the balloons in their mouths.
[Luki Loki]: showed up on the front porch and couldn't get the beast to leave
[Luki Loki]: LOL sue I use a pump so I don't slobber on the balloons
[Harpoetta]: my last dog was a pure bred collie, she was 14 when she died, this one's a collie shepherd mix
[Willace-the-Clown]: I have a ridge back rottie she thinks she is a lap dog & she hunts & eats roaches & flys
[Harpoetta]: poor Selma's starting to have the German shepherd hip problem
[Luki Loki]: I keep a close eye on my dogs hips
[Luki Loki]: Bully breeds have hip problem tendencies too
[Fitzwilly]: I prefer womens hips
[Luki Loki]: LOL
[Harpoetta]: Ridge back rottie? Is that a regular rottwieler?
[saphireSue]: lol
[Luki Loki]: only other hips I am allowed to watch is the wifes
[Luki Loki]: rhodesian ridgeback and rotweiler mix?
[Harpoetta]: rhodesian ridgeback what's that one look like?
[Luki Loki]: brown dogs with a ridge of fur on their back
[saphireSue]: you know in my day job, hip exer is part of it, I always tease them that if they ever get bored doing the exer. to see how many nicknames they can come up with that piece of antomy. there are bunches
[Harpoetta]: big, small, in between?
[Luki Loki]: large breed but not bulky
[Harpoetta]: hm
[Luki Loki]: http://www.petsplace.co.za/Rhodesian%20Ridgeback%20Lume.jpg
[Luki Loki]: am I here or am I memorex?
[Luki Loki]: ok I'm still here
[saphireSue]: are they prone to back problems?
[Willace-the-Clown]: i dont know all i know is she is a ridge back she has a mohack down her back
[Luki Loki]: not that I know of
[Luki Loki]: I had a vet tell me an old dog of mine looked like a ridgless one
[Harpoetta]: cute
[Harpoetta]: I think my computer is gonna kick me off in a minute, but I'll try and get back in
[saphireSue]: dashounds are because of their long backs, just wondered since it's ridge shaped
[Willace-the-Clown]: hurry up if it dose
[Luki Loki]: the ridge is just fur running the wrong way
[Fitzwilly]: This is a light week for chatting.
[Luki Loki]: I FINALLY make it and not many show up :rolleyes:
[Willace-the-Clown]: its ok loki i missed you
[Luki Loki]: and I even had a bath Saturday
[Fitzwilly]: This just gives us more of a chance to talk with you LL
[Fitzwilly]: WB
[saphireSue]: I've had to miss the last few, and got on late tonight myself
[Luki Loki]: wb harpoetta
[Luki Loki]: I was in a Toastmasters club that met on Thursday nights
[Fitzwilly]: Now that it is summer I figured everyonw would be busier, especially with it staying daylight until 9:30 or 9:45.
[Harpoetta]: thanks
[Luki Loki]: wish I was bussier
[Fitzwilly]: I did Toastmaster's for awhile until I picked up a Thursday night restaurant. How have you been doing LL?
[Luki Loki]: with the restaurants?
[Luki Loki]: still have just the Golden Coral gig
[Fitzwilly]: LL - I was looking up the demographics from your area and it seems to be pretty well off.
[Willace-the-Clown]: WB Katie did the line i tied around your waste brake
[Luki Loki]: there is some oil money but they tend to be tight
[Fitzwilly]: I meant in general. Hold off on approaching other restaurants until we talk a little more. No sense getting "no"s when it could be maybe's.
[Luki Loki]: most of my gigs have been the latino community
[Harpoetta]: it musta Will
[Fitzwilly]: If that works well for you you may want to focus on that while we figure out how to attack the rest.
[Willace-the-Clown]: hmm dont make rope like they use too
[Luki Loki]: Until i get an idea on how to better approach them I'm not messing with restaurants
[Harpoetta]: that's for sure
[Luki Loki]: or maybe his rope was connected in the middle with a magnet for the rope repair trick
[Harpoetta]: there are different ways of doing that one too
[Luki Loki]: yup
[Luki Loki]: I've seen the magnet and the one that slowly the rope shrinks
[Harpoetta]: I've seen many was of doing lots of different tricks and illusions, but that's what happens when you grow up in magic
[Luki Loki]: all the magic I grew up with was at the Cub Scout's Blue and Gold Banquets
[Luki Loki]: or bits on variety shows
[Harpoetta]: my Dad's done a lot of those shows
[Harpoetta]: both kinds
[Harpoetta]: a few years ago he did a blue and gold, and after the show, a dad brought his son up to Dad and said to him "Son, I'd like you to meet the magician that performed at my blue and gold."
[Luki Loki]: so far my shows have been pretty disjointed. haven't figured out how to flow through the different tricks
[Luki Loki]: That would be cool
[Harpoetta]: it takes time to figure that out
[Luki Loki]: wb will
[Willace-the-Clown]: thanks loki
[Harpoetta]: My Dad wasn't sure how to respond to that, he's only gonna be 50 this yr
[Harpoetta]: wb Will
[Willace-the-Clown]: thanks katie
[Fitzwilly]: Will is back - Snoopy does the happy dance.
[Luki Loki]: need to hem my tux pants so if I ever get asked for a regular magic show I'll have the costume
[Willace-the-Clown]: lol
[Harpoetta]: At first he felt old, but then he decided that it was a good thing that the guy remembered him from that long ago.
[Fitzwilly]: As old as the other guy was getting it was a suprize he could still remember.
[Luki Loki]: shows he did a good job at the dad's banquet
[Harpoetta]: lol Fitz
[Harpoetta]: yup
[Luki Loki]: I'm a late bloomer as a costumed clown
[Willace-the-Clown]: my parints are 57
[Willace-the-Clown]: i mean 47
[Luki Loki]: took 30 years or so to prove my grade school teachers were psychic
[Fitzwilly]: LOL
[Luki Loki]: I'm 45
[Luki Loki]: and 1/2
[Harpoetta]: I'm 23 and some months
[Luki Loki]: but once the back allows it I'm younger most of the day
[Willace-the-Clown]: I'm almost 27
[Harpoetta]: but some of the 40's and older group don't believe me when we start naming old tv shows and movies and musin groups
[Willace-the-Clown]: in 2 months
[Luki Loki]: my wife is a 28year old Canadian Import
[Luki Loki]: they forget the cable oldies channels?
[Harpoetta]: Idon't have cable
[Luki Loki]: that is how my wife knows the old shows
[Luki Loki]: she never waited 5 minutes for the tubes and resistors to warm up so the tv would work
[Fitzwilly]: How did you grab a 28 year old. She must like the makeup.
[saphireSue]: I like my uncles phrase, I'm old enough to sleep by myself, but young enough not to like it
[Luki Loki]: Online dating
[Luki Loki]: by the time she saw I was so ancient she was here
[Harpoetta]: online dating?!?
[Luki Loki]: used all my money sending her the ticket to get here
[Luki Loki]: we met on an audio chat system
[Willace-the-Clown]: people includeing my mother told me before that i should do online dateing
[Fitzwilly]: Audio chat? I hadn't heard about that, although it makes sense.
[Luki Loki]: I had social anxiety so was the safest way to talk to people for me
[Willace-the-Clown]: I cant talk to people in real life eather except as a clown
[Luki Loki]: I was big into Pal-Talk which was audio and text and Virtual Places which used text and Avatars
[saphireSue]: I've got to go, see ya next week.
[Willace-the-Clown]: night sue
[Willace-the-Clown]: 1:00 AM EST
[Luki Loki]: before clowning and my American Staffordshire terrier showing up I was nearly a recluse

[Willace-the-Clown]: my phone was out
[Harpoetta]: lol LL
[Willace-the-Clown]: yea my mom draged me to a salon
[Harpoetta]: I use to love Grizzley Adams
[Luki Loki]: better she drag you to a salon than a saloon
[Harpoetta]: yup
[Willace-the-Clown]: i like to drink but i hardly do it
[Luki Loki]: I wanted to be Mad Jack
[Markie]: aww
[Markie]: salon is good
[Markie]: i love my stylist she rocks
[Markie]: but she moved to a new salon and is way more expensive now
[Harpoetta]: The trapper? the one that got caught in a cage and was fed by the animals?
[Luki Loki]: I'm quickly loosing any reason for a stylist
[Markie]: awww
[Markie]: so that's why you said you weren't pretty
[Luki Loki]: Don't remember Jack getting fed by animals
[Harpoetta]: I don't have a stylist, i just have my mom trim a couple of inches off the bottom avery yr or 2
[Luki Loki]: Yup
[Willace-the-Clown]: I now buzz my head & keep my beard short
[Markie]: but see i know you're pretty because you are a princess
[Fitzwilly]: Just because you got married doesn't mean you can go back to Grizzley.
[Harpoetta]: was he in Grizzley Adams, or am I thinking of someone else?
[Markie]: because you're a daughter of the King of Kings, the Lord of heaven and earth
[Luki Loki]: LOL she wants me to but not good for clowning
[Markie]: and the daughter of a King is a princess
[Markie]: unless ur a guy, then you're a handsome prince
[Luki Loki]: he was in Grizzley
[Harpoetta]: he was trapped in a cage in one episode, and the squirrle and coons and skunks brought him thie things that they eat
[Luki Loki]: LOL the wife kissed just enough toads to find me
[Luki Loki]: I missed that eppisode I guess
[Willace-the-Clown]: i'm a beast
[Luki Loki]: or senality has stolen it from my memory
[Fitzwilly]: Were you her prince or just another toad? I know I have been called a toad a few times.
[Harpoetta]: I think my fave was the native guy, bt now I can't remember his name, it's been yrs since I've seen the show\
[Luki Loki]: Well she kept me (so far) therefore I must not be just another toad but a special one
[Fitzwilly]: LOL Good answer.
[Harpoetta]: cool
[Luki Loki]: LOL I have a Pit Bull Terrier running around with her pacifier
[Luki Loki]: proof Pit Bulls aren't so tough
[Willace-the-Clown]: no animal is mean that is a human trait
[Luki Loki]: all depends on training and a little on genetics
[Markie]: brb
[Markie]: back maybe
[Luki Loki]: I know my wife says the Blue Jay that attacked her was mean :P
[Markie]: yup
[Luki Loki]: wb markie
[Willace-the-Clown]: I never seen birds attack people
[Markie]: im amazed i didnt get disconnected i was on my neighbor's wireless by accident and needed stuff on my own network
[Markie]: they have their SSID set to linksys
[Markie]: so does my uncle
[Markie]: neither changed their default SSID
[Markie]: so whenever I'm at his house and come home
[Markie]: my computer wants the last network
[Markie]: so it grabs my neighbors
[Markie]: birds attack people if they feel threatened
[Markie]: so harpo ran off i hope she comes back
[Willace-the-Clown]: its just us
[Willace-the-Clown]: 3
[Markie]: ya
[Fitzwilly]: Harpo just called, she got kicked off again so she is calling it a night. She has a to do list that needs to get done and the computer is acting up.

[Willace-the-Clown]: its almost 3 am
[Markie]: hi
[Willace-the-Clown]: hi tim
[tim]: WILLACE!
[tim]: Markie!
[tim]: Where've you been Willace?
[Willace-the-Clown]: my phone was off
[tim]: you could have yelled
[Willace-the-Clown]: i yelled alot at my family
[tim]: l
[tim]: ol
[tim]: did they yell back?
[Willace-the-Clown]: yea i was mad alot
[Markie]: awww
[Markie]: thats no good
[Markie]: why were u mad
[Markie]: im gonna go to bed soon if this looks good
[Willace-the-Clown]: cuz my life sucks
[Markie]: i was just making my cousin a birthday card
[tim]: were there pies involved?
[Markie]: cuz you shoose that
[Markie]: *choose
[Markie]: your life can be whatever you want it to be
[Willace-the-Clown]: i also thought many times of jsut leaveing & since i had no cell phone eather no one would ever be able to find me
[Willace-the-Clown]: I want money a girlfriend or wife & children
[Willace-the-Clown]: I want my best freind
[Markie]: but if ur best friend doesnt want you anymore sometimes u just gotta move on
[Markie]: i know
[Willace-the-Clown]: plus she called when my phone was off & i missed it i missed my heart & hope comeing back
[Markie]: and sometimes
[Markie]: once in a blue moon
[tim]: you could run away and join the circus
[Markie]: she can come back
[Markie]: exactly that'd be a good option 4 u
[Markie]: i hate printing at home
[Markie]: im making my cousin a birthday card and obviously a single piece thing needs to be printed at home
[Willace-the-Clown]: i wonder if she will ever get the chance to call again
[tim]: do you like to use penmanship at home?
[Markie]: you have so little control out of what comes out of these stupid things
[Markie]: i mean compute rprinting
[Markie]: i hate using inkjets and laser
[tim]: willace, it may be best to move on and try to find another girl, there are "plenty of fish in the sea"
[Willace-the-Clown]: no love is no good
[Markie]: my b-day card for my cousin doesn't resemble what i created in indesign
[Markie]: not even CLOSE
[Markie]: epson sucks too
[Willace-the-Clown]: plus i have no friends
[tim]: yeah I know, that bugs me when it comes out entirely different
[Markie]: when i send something to PSPrint or Costco or Adorama or Miller's, what i get is what i created
[Markie]: this isn't within 20 light years
[Markie]: okay maybe this'll do the trick i changed a couple color matching settings that might've been wrong
[Markie]: if not, more wasted ink...
[tim]: why the big difference in print sylistic and quality?
[Markie]: inkjet printer profiles are imprecise and poorly designed
[Markie]: epson is especially bad on their consumer printers
[Markie]: pros love their epsons cuz epson is great to them
[Markie]: but for us small frys getting cheap printers...
[Markie]: i love my canon but it's only up to 5x7
[Markie]: i got the epson cuz it prints CDs - canon's dont cuz of patent issues
[Markie]: yay this time the color is in the ballpark
[Markie]: still not perfect but very close
[Willace-the-Clown]: 3:13AM EST
[Markie]: apparantly i wanted rx595 standard NOT rx595matte hw
[Markie]: this one is too dark but the other was way light and contraty
[Markie]: nevermind it's unusably dark
[tim]: my old epson has some sort of alignment problem, everything comes out wavy like I'm on acid
[Markie]: do you print CDs
[Markie]: ?
[tim]: no, just on regular paper I mean
[Markie]: go get yourself a nice canon
[tim]: It's an older printer the 880, I've had it over 5 years
[Markie]: if you dont need to print cds and dont want a pro series epson
[tim]: I have two, the other is an HP
[Markie]: HPs are really more office printers not artist printers
[Markie]: i can complain about epson's color management
[Markie]: but HP is far worse
[Markie]: for consumer printers canon really does the best
[tim]: unless I'm going to print pictures there's no need for another, and I'd just assume get prints from the store
[Markie]: pros argue but both epson and canon try to really appease the pro market with outstanding products
[tim]: for professional stuff, I'd just assume send it out
[Markie]: i agree
[Markie]: i use PSPrint for any kind of multiple-item run
[Markie]: and for single-item photographs i use costco, adorama, or miller's mpix
[tim]: at the time I purchased this epson, the advice I was getting from people who used these things was that it was pretty decent for a consumer printer compared to what else was out there for the price point
[Markie]: it's the things neither are suited for i use the inkjets for
[Markie]: I use the little canon forphotos at events of face painting and stuff like that
[tim]: but it needs fixed now or I can't even print out basic blackline text worth anything
[tim]: oh you print out a picture of someone right on site?
[Markie]: i use the epson for cds and things like greeting cards
[Markie]: yeah
[Markie]: the canon does great color-wise
[Markie]: and it's small enough to pack around easy
[Markie]: 5x7 is the biggest paper it takes but thats OK
[Markie]: cost per print is higher than commercial labs but still under 30 cents
[tim]: do you need to plug it into something or does it operate on batteries?
[Markie]: i can sell a 4x6 for $3 without too much effort
[Markie]: that's a nice upsell
[Markie]: i plug it in, i haven't had any times i couldnt run a cord to power
[Willace-the-Clown]: hop hop hop hop hop hop
[Markie]: you can get a lithium ion battery that fits in it for like $60
[tim]: very nice
[Markie]: im considering it
[tim]: it's the easter bunny!
[Willace-the-Clown]: lets make stew
[tim]: might be worthwhile for outdoor type events where electrical isn't readily available
[Markie]: i've done a few outdoor events with it
[Markie]: without too much trouble but yeah
[Markie]: just like in the part
[Markie]: *park
[Markie]: okay i got an almost ok color match with some odd banding
[Markie]: but im not wasting any more money on her card
[tim]: I'm all for that willace, I could use a bite to eat
[tim]: lol, at some point it would be cheaper to go to the store nad just buy one
[Markie]: oh im LONG past that point
[Markie]: heck the first attempt puts me past that point
[tim]: ouch
[Willace-the-Clown]: I'm board i have such a boreing life
[Markie]: i easily burned $4 or so of ink
[Markie]: the point isn't to save money lol
[Markie]: the point is to do something way cooler
[tim]: willace, write ahow to book on the topic, you might make lots of money
[tim]: "boredom for dummies"
[Willace-the-Clown]: I got to make anouther movie first
[tim]: about what?
[tim]: you should make "The Boring Movie"
[Willace-the-Clown]: of Hospital Clowning
[tim]: oh neat, I'd like to see that
[Willace-the-Clown]: I already made one 44 min. movie
[tim]: which one is that?
[Willace-the-Clown]: it was called Clowns in the Hospital
[tim]: I think I watched part of that
[tim]: but with my dialup 44 minutes is a lot to download
[Willace-the-Clown]: i just made it last week
[tim]: then I guess I HAVEN'T seen it yet. There was some other stuff which you've posted which I know I have watched though
[Willace-the-Clown]: yea in this movie has me Squeeky & Do-Dah-Do
[Willace-the-Clown]: i cant put it on youtube thow cuz its to long
[tim]: I don't think I have seen DO-DAH-DO yet
[Willace-the-Clown]: there are pic of him on the hospitle board
[tim]: if you cut it up into ten minute segments or shoreter you should be able to
[tim]: drat, now my HP is messed up too!
[Willace-the-Clown]: http://www.clown-forum.com/hospital-...al-pics-2.html
[Willace-the-Clown]: there is a pic of him at the bottom
[tim]: cool, I'll check them out
[Willace-the-Clown]: ok
[Markie]: inkjet printing will eat you alive
[Markie]: i avoided it for years
[Markie]: but finally gave in because one, it's some nice money
[Markie]: i can print CDs and i can print photos at events
[tim]: I've grown to hate it, but its what I have
[Markie]: two, it's cool to print my own greeting cards and stuff
[Markie]: i outsource everything i possibly can
[Markie]: when i send something to a professional printer I know that the prints i get in my hands will look *identical* to what i saw on screen
[Willace-the-Clown]: hello
[Markie]: inkjet, you can get close if you play enough, but i've never got perfect
[Markie]: hi lullaby
[tim]: I think we have just been coaxed into going to sleep, hi lullaby!
[Markie]: lol
[Markie]: its almost 2am
[Willace-the-Clown]: like the pics
[tim]: she came to remind us we should sleep
[Markie]: lol
[tim]: almost 3 here, 4 at willace's house
[Willace-the-Clown]: NEVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Willace-the-Clown]: yes it is
[Markie]: my "little sister" gets to town tmw (a girl whose family i got very close to over the years and i think of like a sister)
[Willace-the-Clown]: tim i scimmed last weeks chat wondering if anyone said anything about me & y'all did
[Markie]: im so excited i havent seen her in nearly a year!
[Markie]: like 10 months
[tim]: it's always great to see old freinds
[Markie]: he's gone
[Markie]: it is
[Markie]: i was really good friends with her dad
[Markie]: i wish he was coming up too
[tim]: Willace, OF COURSE we talked about you, we EXPECT to see you here. You're the star of the show and it just ain't the same without ya
[Markie]:
[Markie]: he's gone
[Markie]: scott was busy so he just sent his kids they're gonna stay with their grandparents during family camp
[Markie]: they fly in tmw late so i'll prolly see them saturday or sunday
[tim]: he'll be back
[Markie]: they're 11 and 15. the 11 yr old is the only who is like a little sister to me
[tim]: sounds pretty awesome
[Markie]: the 15 year old was that way also but now she wont talk to me
[Markie]: i'm hoping having been gone for a year will change that
[Willace-the-Clown]: 4:00 AM EST
[Markie]: okay so give me advice, we had this whole "siblinghood" thing going on - tessa and me being the older two and bree and elliott being the younger too
[Markie]: bree is the 15 yr old daughter of scott's
[Markie]: we've been around each other - the 4 of us - for years
[tim]: told ya so
[tim]: lol, well she's 15 afteralll
[Markie]: we totally acted like brothers and sisters to each other
[Markie]: well
[Markie]: my relationship with tessa went a little beyond best friend siblinghood circle timeness
[Markie]: not only that, but neither of us told bree cuz we worried what she'd think
[Markie]: when she found out...
[tim]: beat each other up?
[Markie]: she acted like we'd totally betrayed her and our friendship and quit talking to us
[Markie]: this is a girl i'd known since she was teeny-tiny (like 8) and tessa had known at least like 3 years
[tim]: ah, such a shame
[Markie]: i mean c'mon, to just quit talking to us
[Markie]: i mean.... nobody told her she couldn't have a relationship with elliott
[Markie]: lol
[Markie]: actually now that i think about it, if she'd had a relationship with elliott that'd have made our whole friendship very awkward
[Markie]: and for the first time
[Markie]: i think i understand how she felt
[Willace-the-Clown]: :down:
[Markie]: what should i do when i see her?
[tim]: how long has it been since you talked to her?
[Markie]: just before they left a little under a year ago
[Markie]: i've talked to her little sister and her parents almost every week
[Markie]: but not her
[Markie]: and that was just an attempt to talk to her
[Markie]: its been over a year since we really talked
[Markie]: since she found out what was going on between her older "brother and sister" as we called each other
[Willace-the-Clown]: tim left
[Markie]: aww
[Markie]: when i actually type this out i think i know how she feels
[Markie]: we were siblings in God's eyes, we acted like siblings, we treated each other like such, we had an amazing friendship and despite how much younger her and elliott were we all hung out together
[tim]: slap her?
[Willace-the-Clown]: I donno people usely jsut stop talking to me i dont know why but i lways know its my fault
[Markie]: and then... yeah
[tim]: well,s ay you're sorry, maybe something good will come of it
[tim]: ah ok
[Markie]: ironically, not much after bree quit talking to us, tessa and i got in a huge fight and went months without talking
[Markie]: though we're really good friends again now
[tim]: who is elliot?
[Markie]: with no hint of any kinda relationship
[Markie]: a kid
[Markie]: there was me, tessa, bree, and elliott
[Markie]: me and tessa being the old people and bree and elliott being the young teens LOL
[Markie]: and we all basically existed together at church functions and parties and everything else as one unit
[tim]: willace, just keep finding good friends to talk with, they're out there
[Markie]: like siblings lol
[Markie]: until me and tessa turned into something more than "sisters"
[Markie]: do you know what i wish i could do?
[Willace-the-Clown]: I dont have any freinds
[tim]: I'm not sure I follow what the problem was with you getting involved more seriously with tessa
[Willace-the-Clown]: i only had my best freind & she isn't allowed to talk to me & when she trys my phone is off
[Willace-the-Clown]: i ment to be alone
[tim]: what's that, markie?
[Markie]: bree turned against us
[tim]: make friens willace, get out and make new friends
[Markie]: i wish i could go back in time and make it so that things between me and tessa never turned into more
[tim]: join a hermitage if you're meant to be alone
[Willace-the-Clown]: no one likes me
[Markie]: i like u
[Markie]: God loves u
[Markie]: it almost destroyed my friendship with tessa - that something more didn't last very long
[Markie]: and it fractured a friendship that'd existed for a LONG time
[Markie]: and was very close
[Willace-the-Clown]: i dont care how god feels cant knock god up
[Markie]: and if all you want is to "knock someone up" no wonder you don't have anyone!
[Markie]: a close relationship needs to develop with a good friendship and emotional depth
[tim]: that line is classic will
[Markie]: though not such a close tight-knit friendship circle that a relationship coming out of it will ruin everything
[Markie]:
[tim]: that's rough, Markie
[tim]: see, willace, love ain't worth it!
[Willace-the-Clown]: i want love & children
[tim]: if you want children you might not get love from them
[Willace-the-Clown]: people who has had love take it for granted but if you never had love know how imporint it is
[Markie]: i think bree was more angry about not even knowing than anything
[Markie]: her little sister knew before she did
[Markie]: not because any of us told her little sister
[Markie]: honestly just because celeste is more aware of things
[Markie]: celeste figured out that there was something happening between me and tessa within a couple weeks
[Markie]: and of course we never denied it
[Markie]: it wasn't secret, we just weren't telling anyone
[Markie]:
[Willace-the-Clown]: BRB
[Markie]: elliott knew too for the same reason
[tim]: yeah it sounds like the closeness of all the other relations is what really messed with things, it was innocent enough but more complicated than you realized
[Markie]: heck half the church figured it out within a couple weeks
[Markie]: exactly
[tim]: lol, when it is a close knit community like that it will happen
[Markie]: actually we go to a church of about 1800 people
[Willace-the-Clown]: i'm back
[tim]: did you bring me a sandwich willace?
[Markie]: and half the church doesn't know us
[Markie]: bree was like the LAST person to know
[Markie]: actually
[Markie]: of those who knew us
[Markie]: lol
[Markie]: yet she was our closest friend
[Markie]: yeah
[tim]: WOW, large community and they were all chatting about it? Are you guys that popular?
[Markie]: no doubt we made mistakes
[Willace-the-Clown]: no tim i didn't
[Markie]: well, i'm very visable
[Markie]: and so is tessa
[tim]: well no wonder no one wants to talk to ya if you don't bring them a sandwich, even
[tim]: ah ok, yeah you may have more eyes on you than you realize then
[Willace-the-Clown]: i dont have any sandwitches
[Markie]: we're both youth leaders, i taught kids church at the time - and still teach sunday school today
[Markie]: i help with lighting design and stuff
[Markie]: tessa does a lot of time in the office helping out
[tim]: what did you do eat them all?
[tim]: yeah so you're basically public personas in that sort of environment
[Willace-the-Clown]: no we dont have any food here mom didn't go shopping yet
[Markie]: we both spend essentially all our time a normal person would spend to have a social life up there
[tim]: well, then here's what you do... you go shopping with her and flrit with all the pretty girls in the grocery store, you'll have friends in no time
[Willace-the-Clown]: i dont flirt i'm not a romantic
[tim]: you ain't going to get love and children without flirting
[Willace-the-Clown]: girls dont want to look at fat ugly stupid guys with no money
[Markie]: then lost weight and get money
[Markie]: stupidity only makes u more popular
[Willace-the-Clown]: no one will hire me
[tim]: lol, too true about the stupidity markie
[tim]: why not willace?
[Markie]: then work for urself
[Willace-the-Clown]: i do work for my self its called clowning
[Willace-the-Clown]: thats why i still got that job
[Willace-the-Clown]: i donno i tryed all over & no call backs & they dont like when you call them
[tim]: make work, even if it is just offering to carry people's groceries to their car at the store
[Willace-the-Clown]: i dont even have hope or drive to do anything anymore plus if i can do something anyone can do it
[tim]: well if anyone can do it, so can you
[Markie]: well i gtg to sleep
[Markie]: night guys
[Willace-the-Clown]: no i'm not that smart
[Markie]: wish me luck with bree when i see her i kinda wanna try and make up with her
[Willace-the-Clown]: night markie
[Willace-the-Clown]: wb tim
[tim]: good luck
[Willace-the-Clown]: he is gone its jsut us
[tim]: you don't have to be smart, will, just hardworking and maybe lucky
[Willace-the-Clown]: I am hard working
[Willace-the-Clown]: i always do the jobs that are hevy lifting & i never take off sick
[tim]: then you shouldn't have any trouble finding work
[Willace-the-Clown]: i do i tryed everywhere
[tim]: what do they say?
[Willace-the-Clown]: well i fill out an app & if i get a interveiw i never hear from them again & if i call them they tell me not to
[tim]: you need to try to make some more personal connections where someone will just hand you a job
[Willace-the-Clown]: i do everything i'm supsot to
[tim]: well then that's all you can do
[tim]: you have to try to be content in the satisfaction that you have
[Willace-the-Clown]: I even tell them why i can t wrk on clown days
[Willace-the-Clown]: only things i have is that i cant work mondays & come in & leve earlyer on thursdays & i can work any only day for how ever many hours they want
[tim]: well you may have to sacrifice the clown days for the other job, that could be part of why they don't want to hire you.
[Willace-the-Clown]: nope clowning is life if i cant clown i might as well kill my self
[tim]: they want you to have "open availability" when you are applying. Once you have the job they might be willing to negotiate over it, but until you get hired if you make conditions about when your not available they just don't want to deal with it
[tim]: well I'd rather you clown than kill yourself, so I'm suggesting that you stop clowning, but you might have to find a way to make the clowning work for you around other obligations like job
[tim]: you could still do both just maybe not at all the same times as now
[tim]: I meant I'm NOT suggesting that you stop clowning, sorry bout that the not didn't get typed somehow. I got ahead of myself I guess
[tim]: if you had to give up the clown gigs you have now you would most likely find others anyway
[Willace-the-Clown]: Clowning comes first & its only one day a week
[tim]: like I said you could negotiate for that AFTER getting hired but if you make it a condition of getting hired then tehy just won't hire you
[Willace-the-Clown]: & the only reason i need out early for thursdys is alley meetings
[Willace-the-Clown]: the job is to have money for clowning
[tim]: well perhaps that is what you could give them in compromise mondays off for clowning and then work saturday or something but not get out early thursdays
[Willace-the-Clown]: & give me green to show around to woman women like money
[Willace-the-Clown]: i need to get out early on thursdays cuz of aley meetings
[tim]: the way you will get the money is to take the non clown job, then you can invest that in clowning stuff for weekends or whenever you have off
[Willace-the-Clown]: clowning first i would walking out dureing work hours to do a clown job
[Willace-the-Clown]: I would miss a family members funral for a clown job
[Willace-the-Clown]: people got to have prioraties
[Willace-the-Clown]: & you cant take off of your real job for any reason
[tim]: will, the way many people build up to something like clowning or music full time is to work a day job, commit to it, then work the artistic job nights and weekends or whatever until it is making them enough income and providing stable enough work that they can quit the day job. But until then they have to do the day job.
[Willace-the-Clown]: sorry got booted
[tim]: don't leave me willace!
[tim]: what would I do without you?
[Willace-the-Clown]: i donno what have you done for 13 days
[tim]: worried about YOU!
[tim]: but I trusted you'd come back, you'd never leave us
[Willace-the-Clown]: yea i left chat the week before last & the next day i went to go on line & no phone
[tim]: you love us too much
[tim]: I figured it had to be phone or electricity or something, though 13 days is definitely a long time for you to be away
[Willace-the-Clown]: yea
[Willace-the-Clown]: i told my dad if the phone wasn''t on today i was going to leave
[Willace-the-Clown]: I was getting missrable
[Willace-the-Clown]: Exspeculy since 13 days ago was friday the 13th my lucky day & i had bad luck
[Willace-the-Clown]: last week i compalned all day that i was missing chat
[tim]: and you were gone for 13 days, spooky
[tim]: I figured you must have talked him into it
[Willace-the-Clown]: no today was payday & they were planing on getting it on anyway
[tim]: ah good
[tim]: lol, I figured you must
