earwormholeHere we have a whole CASCADE of earworms. Multiplayer earworm bingo?
[23:12:29] <Rowan> Why does my name lend itself to cutesy nicknames?!
[23:12:33] * Rowan flails.
[23:12:33] <xb95> I have beaten the queue down to 12 bugs. And the *oldest* one is was last touched 5 days ago.
[23:12:59] <durandal> Rowan, which version?
[23:13:08] <Rowan> durandal: Rowan.
[23:13:19] <Bugsy> mark@dreamwidth.org changed the Status on bug 1283 from ASSIGNED to RESOLVED FIXED.
[23:13:20] <Bugsy> Bug http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1283 normal, P4, -undecided-, catelinm, RESOLVED FIXED, Font properties in the wizard
[23:13:20] <durandal> Mark: awwww you killin da baby bugs now....
[23:13:36] <durandal> Rowan, hellifIknow
[23:14:04] <Rowan> durandal: Today I have gotten Rowers, Rowsers, Rowfles, Rowbow…
[23:14:18] <Rowan> Rowers I don't mind but the rest are taking it too far.
[23:14:31] <Azz> o_O
[23:14:48] <xb95> Nothing wrong with being cute.
[23:15:09] <Bugsy> mark@dreamwidth.org changed the Status on bug 1601 from ASSIGNED to RESOLVED FIXED.
[23:15:10] <Bugsy> Bug http://bugs.dwscoalition.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1601 trivial, P5, -undecided-, kareila, RESOLVED FIXED, base-data.sql cleanup
[23:15:22] <Rowan> (For the record, I am perfectly okay with "Row", "Rowboat", and maaaybe, if the person has a decent reason to be calling me cutesy names, "Rowers". And very few people have reason for the last one.)
[23:15:31] <durandal> dude, mark, breathe
[23:15:47] |<-- rb has left irc.xb95.com (Quit: Leaving.)
[23:15:54] <xb95> must..not..stop..
[23:15:55] * Rowan snrk.
[23:16:05] <Rowan> Mark is on a roll. ^^;
[23:16:35] * Azz cracks up at the idea of "Rowboat" as a nickname & hands Rowan some oars
[23:16:46] * durandal decides not to go through the links "Rowan" form in his mind... its for the best really
[23:16:53] * rahaeli wonders if mark can get the review? patches to zero
[23:17:25] <skud> OH I HAVE A CLA BTW
[23:17:35] <xb95> rahaeli: not tonight, but I'm working on it this week.
[23:17:43] <Azz> (If I were inclined to make nicknames for "Rowan" I suspect they'd be a little more ... tree-shaped. Though I don't know of anyone who would respond well to "HEY ENTFACE.")
[23:17:44] <xb95> rahaeli: my goal is that by this coming code push, it's review? at 0.
[23:18:00] * Rowan snrk.
[23:18:06] <rahaeli> xb95: awesome!
[23:18:07] <xb95> we're currently at 10, but there are a few I expect to come back from a review- cycle soon.
[23:18:11] * Rowan does not LOOK like an ent.
[23:18:27] <xb95> but where have all the entwives gone :(
[23:18:47] * Azz earwormed with "Where have all the flowers gone"
[23:19:03] * Rowan also earwormed. Thanks Mark.
[23:19:08] <xb95> in my head I was saying it like jack sparrow, 'but why is all the rum gone'
[23:19:19] * Azz snrk
[23:19:21] * Rowan now listening to where have all the flowers gone.
[23:19:29] <durandal> Azz: you get flowers, i get cowboys..... I think I mighta gotten the better end of that deal
[23:19:42] * rahaeli settles down to do some Actual Work herself.
[23:19:46] <rahaeli> code tour time
[23:19:49] * Azz points all of us at http://tinyurl.com/earwormhole
[23:19:51] <rahaeli> then update
[23:20:15] <Azz> Oh, Drewshie, it's worse. Have I showed you my filk of same?
[23:20:35] * durandal hides behind Mark.
[23:20:40] <durandal> I'm afraid......
[23:20:48] <xb95> she sang it for me!
[23:20:50] <xb95> if that's the same one
[23:20:57] <JD> it's rather scary, yes.
[23:21:07] <Azz> It's the same on, yes
[23:21:07] <JD> also, apparently i have been mentally mispronouncing rowan.
[23:21:23] <xb95> JD: I say row-uhn.
[23:21:49] <JD> which "ow" ;) ow and ou are horrible, horrible letter combinations
[23:21:54] <Azz> http://azurelunatic.livejournal.com/5967232.html <-- where have all the cowboys gone
[23:22:11] * durandal goes row (as in boat) ahn
[23:22:15] <xb95> ...which ow? the word 'row' in the English language only has one pronunciation.
[23:22:20] <JD> like "bow"
[23:22:29] <Azz> The American language.
[23:22:41] <xb95> as JD and I are American, that is the context, yes.
[23:23:03] <durandal> Azz: stalking other languages and rolling them for spare grammar, syntax, and pronunciation?
[23:23:05] <Rowan> My name is pronounced like row (all your ducks in a row, or a boat)-en.
[23:23:10] * Azz learned to her surprise that "row" like a fight was not pronounced like "row" like a fight
[23:23:17] * Rowan digs IPA.
[23:23:18] <Azz> er.
[23:23:20] <Azz> like a boat
[23:23:33] * Azz ON a boat --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7yfISlGLNU
[23:23:38] <xb95> lol
[23:23:49] <JD> i was reading with the ow in "how" but if nicknames like "rowboat" spring up I'm guessing it's supposed to be the "ow" in "tow"
[23:23:52] * durandal stabs Azz in the earworm
[23:24:24] <JD> but yes, words like bow and sow have ruined "ow" for me.
[23:24:41] <xb95> huh, interesting
[23:25:04] <xb95> I admit I thought 'row' (like fight) was pronounced as 'row' (like boat).
[23:25:09] * xb95 THE MORE YOU KNOW
[23:25:12] <Azz> and then there's "bow" like for the hair vs. "bow" like "Take a bow, the night is over; this masquerade is getting older; lights are low; the curtain's down" --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GM0zSACpMto
[23:25:24] <Rowan> /ɹoʊən/
[23:25:25] <Rowan> There.
[23:25:33] <Rowan> That's how ya'll should pronounce my name.
[23:25:40] <Rowan> The final a is actually a schwa.

[23:27:11] <xb95> /?o??n/ ...darn my client
[23:27:22] <Rowan> Silly mark.
[23:27:28] <Rowan> Make your client support UTF 8.
[23:27:29] <skud> rahaeli: i signed it sideways. can you tell?
[23:27:40] * Azz gives a cheer for WTF-8
[23:27:42] <rahaeli> once upon a time i knew IPA, dammit
[23:27:43] <JD> i have a song stuck in my head. >_<
[23:27:44] <rahaeli> skud: yes :)
[23:27:51] <Azz> JD, which one?
[23:27:55] <durandal> skud, how does one sign sideways?
[23:28:07] <skud> durandal: the image i sent is rotated ;)
[23:28:12] <JD> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0P30Efndzm4 this one.
[23:28:20] <rahaeli> wow, 210 users in bugzilla
[23:28:28] <Rowan> "row" rhymes with "toe". And "an" is a very short a towards an e, more like "ben"
[23:28:29] <durandal> hokay then
[23:28:30] <JD> "lovely labyrinthian loins" is a real neat phrase, but i don't want to hear it repeating in my head kthx
[23:28:41] <Azz> heeeeeeeeee
[23:29:03] <JD> especially not while *cough*
[23:29:08] <JD> anyway
[23:29:57] * durandal pets Jd
[23:36:53] <Azz> JD, er, if you're, *cough* ... what are you doing on IRC?
[23:37:00] <JD> that was earlier.
[23:37:07] <Azz> (whatever *cough* is standing in for)
[23:37:18] <durandal> so much for the afterglow? --> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n09xfdn7thA
[23:37:29] * Azz throws something at Drew
[23:37:32] <durandal> GAH, earwormed myself.........
[23:37:38] <JD> more like "work tomorow at 8am means sleep now"
[23:37:49] <JD> but i, having woke up at 3pm today, am not tired.
[23:37:51] <durandal> Azz: whut?
[23:38:01] <Azz> the attempted earworming
[23:38:15] <durandal> was not attempted earworming.....
[23:38:31] <durandal> was attempted comedy......and I rolled a 2
[23:38:42] <Azz> you rolled an earworm!
[23:38:42] <xb95> you win at golf, sir
