Jacopo shows up:
21:02:58: <jamest> o hai jacopo
21:02:59: <meatpuppet> Hi
21:03:04: <Gash> hi Jacopo
21:03:04: <Strant> Hi
21:03:07: <Jacopo> Hola
21:03:12: <lachaise> 2o hai jacopo
21:03:15: <Strant> >bite rebo's head off
21:03:25: <Gash> is this the for realises Jacopo?
21:03:28: <Jacopo> Glassjaw Girl told me about this chat. I hope you don't mind me exploring it.
21:03:51: <Jacopo> Yes, this is Jacopo della Quercia.
21:03:55: <Jacopo> I can prove it, if you like.
21:03:56: <jamest> We're being dorks right now. I'm GM-ing an IRC text adventure
21:04:13: <lachaise> >squeal like a little girl
21:04:29: <jamest> lachaise squeals. Everyone takes 3 damage
21:04:35: <Strant> >try to stay cool
21:04:38: <Gash> I lost connection again
21:04:42: <jamest> strant fails to stay cool
21:05:01: <jamest> Should we stop this?
21:05:06: <lachaise> Okay
21:05:09: <Gash> In that case, hello Jacopo
21:05:11: <Strant> Sure
21:05:39: <jamest> Don't want to scare jacopo off
21:05:46: <Strant> We could make a game night
21:05:55: <lachaise> Agreed
21:05:57: <meatpuppet> That'd be awesome
21:06:07: <Gash> I'm already creating a forum game based on this
21:06:14: <Jacopo> Hello, everyone.
21:06:14: <Lindvaettr> Dyah!
21:06:18: <Jacopo> Thank you for inviting me
21:06:25: <Lindvaettr> I leave for a few hours, and Jacopo is here?!
21:06:27: <lachaise> O hai lind
21:06:34: <meatpuppet> Hi
21:06:35: <jamest> o hai lind
21:06:36: <Lindvaettr> Hello, Jacopo!
21:06:38: <Strant> Yup he just appered
21:06:39: <Lindvaettr> o hai guyz
21:06:41: <Gash> hey Lind
21:06:44: <Jacopo> Hi.
21:06:57: <Gash> Jacopo just shows up and started talking about history
21:07:02: <Gash> just like that
21:07:08: <Lindvaettr> That's okay.
21:07:17: <Jacopo> Well, every day is a badass day in history,
21:07:19: <Lindvaettr> He knows all the history, so it's good.
21:07:31: <lachaise> So many things happening today, I'll never be able to have a real life
21:07:36: <Jacopo> so it is hard for me not to talk about it.
21:07:38: <lachaise> That's cool
21:07:43: <jamest> brb gotta do a mod thingy
21:07:48: <Lindvaettr> Good luck.
21:08:04: <Lindvaettr> Did Kate his a letter before she left?
21:08:19: <lachaise> Did you also check the forum jacopo?
21:08:19: <jamest> Huh, weird. I wonder what a yellow name means? Maybe phree and w00 are doing tech stuff
21:08:27: <lachaise> spammer list
21:08:29: <jamest> ahh
21:08:38: <Jacopo> Yes, lachaise. I was very impressed!
21:08:58: <jamest> I hope you don't mind our silliness
21:09:13: <Jacopo> Eh, the world is a silly place.
21:09:25: <Jacopo> I don't see how one person stands out compared to the other
21:09:32: <Gash> You should be impressed, Jacopo. We lost a lot of men claiming that land, wiping it out of heretical practices and warding the spirits off
21:09:46: <jamest> I lost 5 different spleens
21:09:46: <Jacopo> Are the spirits gone for good?
21:09:47: <Lindvaettr> I stabbed a guy.
21:09:53: <Lindvaettr> Probably not.
21:10:02: <jamest> they come back every once in a while
21:10:11: <Jacopo> Ah, so it's a work in progress...
21:10:14: <lachaise> Some of us still need their exorcism, but we're gonna be okay
21:10:29: <meatpuppet> I became a steak. Do I get a reward?
21:10:39: <jamest> You get a no prize
21:10:42: <meatpuppet> Ok
21:10:43: <Strant> No
21:10:45: <Gash> we're still dealing with the local cults, too.
21:10:46: <Jacopo> Nevertheless, I am impressed. I always admired those with the acumen to get projects like that off the ground.
21:10:59: <Lindvaettr> Where's Tess?
21:11:03: <Lindvaettr> This is her doing, mostly.
21:11:08: <Lindvaettr> That, and Phree and W00.
21:11:14: <Lindvaettr> Most of us are just along for the ride.
21:11:19: <jamest> phree and w00 deserve prizes
21:11:24: <jamest> I was going to draw something for them
21:11:26: <Lindvaettr> JamesT is in it for the free housing.
21:11:29: <Gash> Though we are helping as much as we can
21:11:31: <lachaise> It really exploded at once, I didn't think it would work so well
21:11:33: <jamest> and tess was going to draw me drawing them
21:11:47: <Jacopo> Anyway, I'm just popping in and out. It was nice speaking to all of you!
21:11:48: <Lindvaettr> Me, neither.
21:11:53: <jamest> seeya jacopo!
21:11:59: <Lindvaettr> Bye, Jacopo!
21:12:01: <jamest> Have fun with whatevs you're doing
21:12:02: <Strant> Nice to speak to you too
21:12:03: <Gash> it was nice speaking to you!
21:12:06: <Jacopo> If it's not too much to ask, is there anything I can do for anyone before I go?
21:12:13: <jamest> oh!
21:12:17: <lachaise> bye jacopo, nice to speak to you too
21:12:20: <jamest> say this: Michael I love you
21:12:23: <Lindvaettr> Waaaaait a second
21:12:31: <jamest> It's a present for a friend
21:12:36: <HarpingCarp> 0woah
21:12:37: <Jacopo> haha.
21:12:39: <Lindvaettr> Did you just ask if it's too much to do a favor for someone?
21:12:41: <HarpingCarp> wait!
21:12:43: <Jacopo> Michael, I love you.
21:12:45: <HarpingCarp> hi
21:12:47: <jamest> awesome
21:12:51: <Lindvaettr> I think you might secretly be related to Notch.
21:13:08: <Jacopo> no, I asked if it was too much for me to ask.
21:13:14: <HarpingCarp> is this the actual jacopo?
21:13:16: <Gash> Hold on, Jacopo's awesome readings just exploded. It's off the charts!
21:13:27: <Gash> yep
21:13:32: <Strant> Yeah mr carp
21:13:35: <HarpingCarp> woah!
21:13:44: <Lindvaettr> Yeah, we're all star-struck.
21:13:48: <HarpingCarp> I'm sure the other have gushed already.
21:13:52: <HarpingCarp> shit.
21:14:05: <Lindvaettr> It's like being visited by Sean Connery.
21:14:05: <Jacopo> I don't see why. I literally just walked in and waved my hand.
21:14:08: <Gash> In case you haven't noticed Jacopo, you're one of the most loved contributors on Cracked
21:14:13: HarpingCarp faints
21:14:19: <lachaise> What gash said
21:14:26: <HarpingCarp> yes!
21:14:26: <Jacopo> Well, I thank you kindly for the compliments.
21:14:28: <Lindvaettr> We had a debate once, who our favorite was.
21:14:33: <HarpingCarp> you won.
21:14:37: <Jacopo> Also, i apologize for not having written recently.
21:14:37: <Lindvaettr> I think it was you, by a good margin.
21:14:43: <Jacopo> I was hard at work finishing my first book.
21:14:49: <Gash> oh
21:14:50: <Lindvaettr> You have a book!?
21:14:52: <Lindvaettr> I'm buying it.
21:14:54: <Jacopo> Also, the Editorial process is not as streamlined as it used to be.
21:14:56: <lachaise> Is it out already?
21:15:00: <jamest> oh really?
21:15:02: <jamest> why's that?
21:15:05: <Gash> Oh man, somewhere, Michael just fainted with glee
21:15:10: <Jacopo> It makes submitting my types of articles far more difficult than it used to be.
21:15:14: <jamest> ah
21:15:18: <jamest> sorry to hear that
21:15:23: <lachaise> that's too bad
21:15:23: <Lindvaettr> That's unfortunate.
21:15:26: <Jacopo> Don't be. It's not your fault.
21:15:32: <jamest> it might be you dont know us
21:15:38: <Lindvaettr> HEY!
21:15:38: <Lindvaettr> Hey!
21:15:42: <Jacopo> Anyway, my book is called 'The Great Abraham Lincoln Pocket Watch Conspiracy'
21:15:48: <Lindvaettr> If they ever reject you, you can post here.
21:15:51: <Lindvaettr> In our forums.
21:15:52: <jamest> thats the best title Ive heard all year
21:15:55: <Jacopo>
https://twitter.com/Jacopo_della_Q/stat ... 353619046421:15:57: <lachaise> that sounds quite awesome
21:15:58: <Strant> I'm buying it
21:16:02: <Jacopo> St. Martin's Press is publishing it.
21:16:13: <Jacopo> I handed in the final manuscript on Monday, and it should be out sometime next year.
21:16:24: <jamest> any idea when next year?
21:16:25: <Gash> awesome, congrats!
21:16:26: <meatpuppet> Congratulations
21:16:30: <lachaise> Congratulations!
21:16:30: <Lindvaettr> Congratulations!
21:16:31: <Jacopo> Thanks!
21:16:37: <Strant> Congrats
21:16:40: <Jacopo> Alas, no idea. I'm thinking first quarter 2014.
21:16:43: <jamest> also congrats!
21:16:48: <lachaise> Know that you even have fans over here in france
21:16:50: <Lindvaettr> We'll plug you on our forums when it comes out, if that's alright with you.
21:16:51: <Jacopo> My publishers have a lot of decisions to make. Download-only chapters, etc.
21:16:51: <jamest> I'll put aside some books money!
21:16:57: <Strant> And sweden
21:17:00: <Jacopo> Haha. Thank you all!
21:17:21: <Gash> does Lincoln fight werewolves in your book this time?
21:17:31: <Jacopo> No.
21:17:42: <Jacopo> This book is deeply, deeply researched to be as factually accurate as possible.
21:17:44: <jamest> It's real historical stuff, right?
21:17:51: <Jacopo> It's a love-letter to anyone who ever read and liked my articles.
21:18:01: <Lindvaettr> I'm super pumped.
21:18:04: <Jacopo> Well, technically, it's steampunk,
21:18:14: <lachaise> Wow. Now I can't wait.
21:18:16: <Strant> I'm exited
21:18:19: <jamest> Lincoln and steampunk, together at last
21:18:19: <Jacopo> but I throw so much science at real events at the reader that it sort of dizzies them.
21:18:29: <jamest> I hope his hat has a whole bunch of gears
21:18:31: <Jacopo> I.e., the book takes place in 1910-1912,
21:18:32: <HarpingCarp> You had me at "it's"
21:18:41: <Gash> In my experience, throwing science results in explosions
21:18:41: <Jacopo> the future turns out exactly the way it does now.
21:18:49: <Jacopo> It's not so much an alternate history as it is a "secret history'
21:18:53: <jamest> interesting
21:19:02: <Jacopo> i.e., what REALLY happened, and why we will never know about it.
21:19:03: <jamest> I dont think Ive read anything like that
21:19:04: <lachaise> The new Torment and then THAT? Damn, I had never been that impatient to see something than the last few days
21:19:09: <meatpuppet> Cool
21:19:20: <Lindvaettr> This is going to be a loooong year.
21:19:21: <jamest> shit that reminds me I keep putting off paypal donations to torment
21:19:27: <Jacopo> Yeah. I worked with a lot of museums on it. They love the idea because it is so rooted in history.
21:19:28: <Gash> I can't wait for that book, Jacopo
21:19:40: <Lindvaettr> That's awesome.
21:19:40: <Jacopo> Lots of obscure stuff that people spend their lives researching, but few people know about.
21:19:43: <Jacopo> I think you'll love it.
21:19:45: <jamest> was it fun working with them?
21:19:59: <Jacopo> Oh, yeah. Once they realized what I was trying to do,
21:20:06: <Jacopo> they all started laughing and joining the bandwagon,
21:20:10: <jamest> that's awesome
21:20:13: <lachaise> Man the amount of work you put must be tremendous
21:20:19: <Jacopo> after a while, I had people from the Smithsonian, Yale, National Archives, etc. helping me,
21:20:26: <Gash> damn
21:20:29: <Jacopo> it sort of became too big a project for others to pass up.
21:20:30: <Lindvaettr> That's insane.
21:20:30: <Strant> Damn
21:20:34: <jamest> That must have been a treat
21:20:40: <HarpingCarp> 0wow
21:20:43: <Jacopo> Yale in particular was a huge, huge help. Skull and Bones plays a major role in the story.
21:20:49: <Gash> Jacopo won at life
21:21:02: <Jacopo> haha
21:21:09: <Jacopo> trust me, this machine I made has many wheels to it.
21:21:15: <jamest> jacopo plays with loaded dice!
21:21:20: <Jacopo> They will all get the credit they deserve in my acknowledgements.
21:21:30: <Lindvaettr> Maybe Jacopo is PART of the Skull and Bones!
21:21:35: <Lindvaettr> That's why he's so successful!
21:21:38: <Jacopo> Nah, I'm not.
21:21:49: <Jacopo> Trust me, I interviewed the pros at this...
21:21:51: <Lindvaettr> Oh. Does that mean we'll never have President Jacopo?
21:21:51: <Jacopo> They say that Skull and Bones is not what it used to be.
21:21:54: <jamest> quick someone write a secret history of jacopo
21:22:05: <lachaise> Let's get to it
21:22:05: <Jacopo> Nah, I'll never be president.
21:22:10: <Jacopo> I don't want to. It's tough work.
21:22:19: <Lindvaettr> Curator of the Smithsonian?
21:22:21: <jamest> your hair'll get grey fast
21:22:21: <Lindvaettr> Or something?
21:22:25: <Lindvaettr> I would vote for you.
21:22:26: <jamest> o hai kate
21:22:27: <Strant> Hi kate
21:22:29: <lachaise> o hai kate
21:22:29: <HarpingCarp> 0KATE
21:22:30: <meatpuppet> Hi
21:22:32: <Lindvaettr> o hai kate
21:22:33: <Gash> what happened with Skull and Bones that made it not what it used to be?
21:22:33: <Jacopo> Hola
21:22:38: <Kate85> eyes?
21:22:39: <Lindvaettr> This is Jacopo.
21:22:41: <Jacopo> It's interesting...
21:22:42: <Lindvaettr> For reals.
21:22:48: <Gash> Or is that too spoliery to talk about?
21:22:56: <Jacopo> There is a very nice man and a fantastic historian on Yale named Marc Wortman.
21:23:03: <jamest> give us a bunch of keywords that could mean anything
21:23:08: <Jacopo> He's the guy who figured out Skull and Bones had Gerinomo's skull in its tomb.
21:23:22: <Lindvaettr> How does one figure something like that out?
21:23:25: <Jacopo> He has interviewed Bonesmen, and was my go-to person on S&B history.
21:23:43: <Jacopo> And way, he said that in the old days, S&B was all about leading the way into government service.
21:23:57: <Jacopo> A bunch of Bonesmen formed one of the first flying squadrons during WWI.
21:24:01: <Jacopo> "The Millionaires Unit"
21:24:06: <Jacopo> Marc wrote a book about it. Google it.
21:24:16: <lachaise> He wrote a book about that didn't he?
21:24:18: <lachaise> Oh
21:24:20: <Jacopo> Yeah.
21:24:20: <Gash>
http://marcwortmanbooks.com/?p=321:24:20: <typical_michael> is it...is it really jacopo? is someone playing with me?
21:24:31: <jamest> michael
21:24:32: <Gash> it's him, Michael
21:24:34: <jamest> I have a present for you
21:24:35: <lachaise> check the irc thread mike
21:24:40: <jamest> 14:12 Jacopo Michael, I love you.
21:24:40: <Jacopo> Naturally, after fighting and winning wars, they brought many trophies home with them.
21:24:44: <Jacopo> Hence, the Tomb. It's where they keep them.
21:24:53: <Jacopo> And all the stuff they've stolen from other secret socities.
21:24:56: <Jacopo> *societies
21:25:05: <Jacopo> Anyway, this whole era of service shifted during Vietnam.
21:25:11: <typical_michael> i...i had company. jacopo, welcome
21:25:18: <Jacopo> Skull and Bones split in half between the John Kerrys and the George W. Bushes
21:25:33: <Jacopo> Half of them continued their practice of dedicated service.
21:25:38: <Jacopo> Ah, thanks michael.
21:25:46: <Jacopo> ...and the other half sort of... didn't.
21:25:53: <lachaise> Wow, I need to work my american history, this is really interesting
21:25:59: <jamest> that's interesting. is that in his book?
21:26:07: <Jacopo> Yes, it is.
21:26:24: <jamest> Im gonna check it out
21:26:24: <Jacopo> I highly recommend it. He addresses how unrecognizable skull and bones has become.
21:26:41: <Jacopo> Anyway, my story takes place from 1910-1912, when Skull and Bones was in its prime.
21:26:54: <Jacopo> Taft was president. He was a bonesman, as were his brothers, and his father was co-founder.
21:27:12: <Jacopo> As a result, S&B plays a central role in the story,
21:27:15: <Jacopo> and I researched the hell out of it.
21:27:20: <Jacopo> I think you'll like it. :)
21:27:24: <lachaise> I think so
21:27:36: <Lindvaettr> It sounds really interesting.
21:27:43: <Strant> I think i will
21:28:05: <Jacopo> So...
21:28:07: <Jacopo> ...
21:28:09: <Jacopo> How is everyone?
21:28:12: <jamest> Im fine
21:28:14: <lachaise> You managed to shut everyone up and make us listen to you just by talking in the chat, I can't see your book being not interesting
21:28:16: <Gash> brb
21:28:17: <typical_michael> im. im alright
21:28:18: <Lindvaettr> Quite well.
21:28:24: <Strant> I'm pretty great
21:28:25: <meatpuppet> Ditto
21:28:28: <jamest> mike is nervous cause h loves history and your articles
21:28:30: <Jacopo> @lachaise haha
21:28:31: <jamest> he*
21:28:31: <HarpingCarp> i'm ok. I guess.
21:28:37: <Lindvaettr> Studying. Or I was, but now I'm somewhere between slightly and extremely distracted.
21:28:40: <typical_michael> james quit it
21:28:47: <Jacopo> Oh, Mike is awesome. I loved him the moment I saw his avatar
21:28:50: <lachaise> I'm quite fine today, that's a change
21:29:09: <Jacopo> what are you studying, Lindvaetrr?
21:29:36: <Lindvaettr> Just doing some math. This particular class isn't hard, but I need to review for my final, anyway.
21:29:46: <Jacopo> AH.
21:29:56: <Lindvaettr> Not history, though.
21:29:57: <typical_michael> jacopo i have always had the feeling that we are probably around the same age. from your twitter posts about B:TAS
21:29:59: <Jacopo> What type of math?
21:29:59: <Gash> back
21:30:17: <Lindvaettr> Some game theory stuff. Probability of games, mostly.
21:30:19: <Jacopo> typical_michael I figured. I'm 29
21:30:20: <Gash> Linda does super math
21:30:27: <Jacopo> Ah, very cool.
21:30:31: <Jacopo> I like game theory.
21:30:47: <jamest> It's pretty interesting isnt it
21:30:54: <Jacopo> Very.
21:30:55: <Lindvaettr> Yeah. It's interesting to think about the mechanics behind games.
21:31:07: <lachaise> Yeah, game design is really cool.
21:31:23: <lachaise> Tha's what I was supposed to do next year
21:31:25: <Jacopo> Yes. It's like a rotating maze that you can navigate because it was designed to be beaten.
21:31:48: <Jacopo> Let me know if you ever get a job for Ubisoft.
21:31:57: <Lindvaettr> Well, I'm not going into game design.
21:32:02: <Jacopo> haha
21:32:08: <Lindvaettr> But I needed another math class.
21:32:15: <Jacopo> Logic.
21:32:18: <jamest> how are you doing grade-wise?
21:32:22: <Jacopo> Logic is a mathematics course. Take it.
21:32:35: <Jacopo> (Unless your school doesn't have it listed as such.)
21:32:50: <Lindvaettr> I've done logic, already. My school is pretty small, so I've taken all the math classes. They offer exactly enough for a major.
21:33:17: <Jacopo> You doing well?
21:33:39: <Lindvaettr> Not bad. 3.0/4.0, after pretty much failing a year for never going to class.
21:33:49: <Lindvaettr> I may or may not have been the worst student my freshman year.
21:33:59: <Jacopo> Just keep improving.
21:34:18: <Jacopo> Half of grad students are A students, and the other half are C students.
21:34:31: <Jacopo> As long as you can show that you got better, you'll be fine.
21:34:35: <Lindvaettr> Well, I'm done after this week, so there's not much improving to do!
21:34:48: <Jacopo> ah! You're graduating?
21:35:02: <Lindvaettr> Yeah. Then the real trick comes in finding an actual job.
21:35:11: <lachaise> haha yeah
21:35:21: <lachaise> that's where things get complicated
21:40:14: <Jacopo> in fact...
21:40:15: <Lindvaettr> That makes sense. Seems like a reasonable direction to go.
21:40:19: <Jacopo> (you guys are going to love this)
21:40:20: <Strant> Nice
21:40:24: <Gash> I feel like I'm at class
21:40:32: <Gash> but, in an awesome class
21:40:32: <jamest> I'm all ears
21:40:34: <Jacopo> Nikola Tesla plays a major role in my book.
21:40:40: <jamest> oh god Im all ears everything's so loud
21:40:42: <Jacopo> And my dad is sort of an expert on him.
21:40:43: <HarpingCarp> 0oh god.
21:40:45: <typical_michael> I cant wait
21:40:47: <jamest> awesome.
21:40:47: <Jacopo> Together, we sort of...
21:40:48: <Jacopo> Well,
21:41:01: Strant gets super exited
21:41:11: <lachaise> Okay, you managed to make me even more impatient. This is getting unhealthy
21:41:13: <Jacopo> invented some stuff using equipment and science available during the turn of the century.
21:41:15: <Lindvaettr> That book is going to be the best book.
21:41:34: <Jacopo> I.e, stuff that they could have built. Easily.
21:41:36: <jamest> We need to make like a hundred ads for this on the forum
21:41:41: <Jacopo> hahaha
21:41:57: <typical_michael> jacopo, i am wondering if on the slight chance you are an odd thomas fan. tesla makes an appearance.
21:41:58: <Jacopo> Anyway, i have the blueprints for it in the book because one of them plays a major role...
21:41:59: <Jacopo> But yeah,
21:42:01: <HarpingCarp> and get all of our massive 300 people to buy it.
21:42:07: <meatpuppet> That must've been really fun, inventing the stuff
21:42:10: <Jacopo> wiht his help, I pretty much had Tesla as a consultant.
21:42:20: <Gash> so....you and your dad built stuff Tesla build?
21:42:20: <Jacopo> Oh, it was a blast.
21:42:29: <Jacopo> No, not he built.
21:42:36: <Jacopo> Stuff he could have built if someone asked him to.
21:42:40: <lachaise> wow not only do you study the shit out of history, but you also create it by summoning tesla's spirit.
21:42:43: <Gash> oh, cool
21:42:46: <Jacopo> haha
21:42:47: <lachaise> How awesome can you get?
21:43:01: <Jacopo> haha. Trust me... A LOT of people helped me on this.
21:43:03: <jamest> jacopo, you an odd thomas fan?
21:43:12: <Jacopo> odd thomas...
21:43:13: <Lindvaettr> You guys, we could interview Jacopo and post it on the forums.
21:43:18: <Jacopo> Where do I knwo that name from?
21:43:19: <Lindvaettr> Jacopo, can we interview you sometime?
21:43:25: <Jacopo> haha
21:43:29: <Jacopo> you can do whatever you want.
21:43:36: <Jacopo> My email is Jacopo.della.Quercia(at)gmail.com
21:43:37: <HarpingCarp> That's an awesome idea CJ.
21:43:41: <Jacopo> my twitter is Jacopo_della_Q
21:44:02: <typical_michael> i know your twitter. you re-tweeted me, this one time
21:44:18: <lachaise> He framed the tweet in his room
21:44:25: <jamest> ha
21:44:25: <Jacopo> BUT, just so I don't forget... If you want a sweet job like that, i suggest you do two years in the air force.
21:44:26: <Gash> haha
21:44:32: <Jacopo> They teach you stuff you can't learn as a civilian.
21:44:39: <Lindvaettr> Oh, sorry about this. My girlfriend wants to know if you're named after the painter, or if Jacopo della Quercia is a pen name.
21:45:02: <Jacopo> One of my ex-girlfriends did that, went straight to Boeing as an anti-terrorism software designer, and is pulling six figures without one day of college
21:45:14: <Jacopo> Lindvaettr Honestly...
21:45:17: <jamest> awesome
21:45:22: <Lindvaettr> That's awesome. Boeing pays a lot of money. I applied their once.
21:45:22: <Jacopo> And I am not exaggerating...
21:45:31: <Jacopo> I have been called like 100 names my entire life.
21:45:56: <jamest> how many of them were swear words?
21:45:56: <Jacopo> There's even conflicts with my name on legal documents.
21:46:01: <Jacopo> very few
21:46:09: <jamest> more than I can say
21:46:13: <Gash> haha
21:46:13: <Lindvaettr> Are you a secret agent?
21:46:22: <Jacopo> But when I started studying Dante, but uncle started calling me "Jacopo" for some reason,
21:46:26: <Jacopo> Even though it's pretty much my name
21:46:28: <Jacopo> anyway,
21:46:31: <lachaise> This confirms my theory that Jacopo is actually the highlander and speaks so well about history because he *was* there
21:46:39: <jamest> interesting theory...
21:46:41: <Jacopo> nah, not a secret agent or a highlander.
21:46:46: <jamest> darn
21:46:48: <typical_michael> i remember someone saying he should be the bill brasky of cracked
21:46:56: <jamest> oh god bill brasky
21:46:58: <Strant> It's all becoming clear now
21:46:59: <jamest> TO BILL BRASKY
21:47:10: <Jacopo> TO BILL BRASKY!!!
21:47:22: <Jacopo> But no, I'm not a secret agent.
21:47:26: <jamest> To jacopo! A ten foot tall two ton son of a bitch who slept with all of our wives
21:47:29: <Jacopo> So many people think I'm secretive for some reason. I'm not.
21:47:30: <jamest> and we loved him for it
21:47:31: <typical_michael> ja-co-poooooooo
21:47:51: <Jacopo> Thanks. I love you all.
21:47:53: <lachaise> that's because you know the secret history
21:47:59: <jamest> we love ya back
21:48:03: <lachaise> People think you must be part of it
21:48:09: <Lindvaettr> We do, James is right.
21:48:14: <lachaise> Indeed
21:48:18: <meatpuppet> And besides, secret agents don't admit that they're secret agents
21:48:22: <Jacopo> I won't lie: I have lived an interesting life and shared some interesting experiences,
21:48:36: <Jacopo> but honestly, when I share them, most people call me a liar and rally against me.
21:48:39: <typical_michael> jacopo just because i know know...how you got here. or if you will ever be back. your articles are the reason me and my brother started talking to each other again.
21:48:41: <Strant> I try to hate everything but i can't hate you
21:48:46: <typical_michael> dont kn*
21:48:47: <Jacopo> It's part of the reason I no longer use the PWOT forums. I got a lot of enemies.
21:49:03: <Jacopo> typical_michael ...
21:49:06: <Jacopo> *HUGS*
21:49:07: <Lindvaettr> We've seen a lot of stuff here already. I'm not sure anything would seem too outlandish to us.
21:49:09: <Jacopo> thank you.
21:49:12: <Gash> Jacopo? Enemies? You lie
21:49:18: <Gash> Everyone, rally against him
21:49:39: <jamest> KILL HIS ENEMIES
21:49:43: <Lindvaettr> We're rallying?! I love rallying!
21:49:49: <Jacopo> Eh, I wouldn't say "enemies" because I don't consider them my enemies.
21:49:54: <jamest> frenemies?
21:49:55: <Jacopo> Let's just say "haters" and "trolls"
21:50:02: <typical_michael> i once offered to buy you a beer in the summer but, fortunately, i got back to the US a bit sooner than that
21:50:07: <Jacopo> oh, they are DEFINITELY not my friends.
21:50:09: <lachaise> We're killing PWoT again? Damn, how many times does it make this week?
21:50:21: <Gash> still sucks that you got "enemies", though
21:50:28: <Jacopo> Eh, everybody does.
21:50:48: <Jacopo> The internet has empowered bullies just as much as it has empowered pornographers.
21:50:49: <jamest> everybody, make your enemy lists
21:51:14: <Jacopo> "Jane Fona, Daniel Shore, Jack Anderson..."
21:51:20: <Jacopo> "Hey! This is Richard Nixon's enemy's list!"
21:51:27: <Jacopo> "You just crossed out his name!"
21:51:41: <Jacopo> "All right, give me that. Give that to me... Barney... Gumble."
21:51:59: <jamest> ha
21:52:05: <Jacopo> All right. Nobody got that reference. I'm out of material.
21:52:07: <HarpingCarp> ok. I really must head to bed.
21:52:07: <Lindvaettr> This is why you write funny artciles.
21:52:10: <jamest> I got it
21:52:14: <Jacopo> haha
21:52:17: <jamest> o bai crp
