<Samuel> hey TEMPMAN, what is your alter ego?

[For a wonderful moment there, I thought maybe this guy actually read my site and knew who I was.  Alas, he told me privately he just thought I was a pal of his goofing around.  Darn.]

<TEMPMAN> Able to ride in speeding commuter locomotives!

<TEMPMAN> Able to work for years with no increase in pay!

<TEMPMAN> what kind of superheroes are you guys?

<Ryu> hrm

<Ryu> anyone around?

<TEMPMAN> Well.  I AM! I AM TEMPMAN!

<TEMPMAN> (as previously indicated)

<Ryu> who r u

<TEMPMAN> I... AM TEMP... MAN.

<Ryu> dont know u

<TEMPMAN> RIGHT! YOU DON'T!  BUT I AM TEMPMAN. I'VE SAID THIS.  A FEW TIMES NOW.

<TEMPMAN> Friend to the unemployed! Champion of the unskilled! Doctor to the un-medical-benifitted.

<TEMPMAN> although I got into some trouble for that last one.  The courts had a field day.  Shee!

<Ryu> cant talk to you

<Ryu> i/gnore tempman

<Ryu> err

[Zounds!  For the IRC-uninitiated, what Ryu just tried to do was use the 'ignore' command.  Basically, by typing '/ignore tempman' he'd be able to continue chatting without seeing my annoying blather.  But!  His typo alerted me to his nefarious scheme!]

<Ryu> there

<TEMPMAN> hey! don't ignore me.

*** TEMPMAN is now known as TEMP-MAN

[Zounds (again)!  By changing my nickname even slightly, I'll no longer fall under his evil and dastardly /ignore command!]

<TEMP-MAN> don't be afraid, lowly citizen!  I am HERE TO HELP!

<Ryu> arg

<TEMP-MAN> I need a sidekick, after all, and it could be you!

<Ryu> hmm

<Ryu> ill ignore ur ip...gg

<Ryu> :D

<TEMP-MAN> Okay.  Forget what I said about sidekicks.  I can tell it's not gonna work.

<TEMP-MAN> but why ignore me?

<TEMP-MAN> this is a chat room, don't you want to chat?

*** DeviaTe has joined #superheroes

<TEMP-MAN> hi Devia!

<Ryu> dont talk to temp man

<Ryu> noone knows who he is

<TEMP-MAN> Well, how are you going to know who I am if you ignore me?

<Ryu> cuz u r obviously no one i know

<TEMP-MAN> Yeah, I, but, well, it, but, I.

<TEMP-MAN> how do you expect to get to know me if you ignore me?

<TEMP-MAN> I mean, with your philosophy, you should know no one, since you won't get to know people you don't... know.

<DeviaTe> who are you?

<TEMP-MAN> I am TEMPMAN. I have SAID THIS BEFORE.  A LOT.

<Ryu> well

<Ryu> sorry

<Ryu> i dont know you

<TEMP-MAN> Yes. Yes.  We've established that.  Yes.

<TEMP-MAN> I have never been here before, which might explain that, perhaps.

<Ryu> ig/nor temp-man

<Ryu> gah

<TEMP-MAN> a-ha!  Trying that trick again!  You fiend!

<TEMP-MAN> Your ignore-ray has no effect on me!

<Ryu> there

*** TEMP-MAN is now known as TEMP_MAN

<TEMP_MAN> Look, this isn't that complicated.  It's a simple matter of logic.

<Ryu> any nick u go to ill ignore

<TEMP_MAN> Fine.

<TEMP_MAN> thanks.

<Ryu> like i said..if i dont know u i don talk to u..if i see u around i might...gnite

<TEMPMAN> Well... again, I must point out... how will you see me around if you're ignoring me?

<Ryu> bah

<TEMP_MAN> That's it.  You win.  I'm hanging up my tights.
