 Tjames | OK. So what's next for Jerkcity? When's the TV show gonna happen? |
| But, the point is that THAT IS WHERE I MET THESE FAGS AND THEY WON'T LET ME ALONE |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad | Umm, fuck. So, what's next for Jerk City? Any ideas on the back burner? |
 Tjames | I beat you! |
 Mr. Bad | You BASTARD! That's my question! |
 Arkuat | the custom is to say "jinx" |
 Arkuat | who ever says jinx first, wins. |
 Tjames | I beat you, jinx! |
 Mr. Bad | Yeah, for CHILDREN, that is appropriate. |
 Arkuat | also for irc. |
| Pants always has crazy ideas for the strip... I'LL PROBABLY DO A NEW LAYOUT TO ACCOUNT FOR ALL THE NEW FEATURES like the mailinglist and STUFF |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad | Anyways, let's try to conduct arselves as professional journalists, eh? |
 Enigma | Next question: Who are the people in the pictures on the "Ask Jerkcity" page? Known sex offenders? |
 Mr. Bad | Oh, heh, a new HTML layout, that's groundbreaking. |
| PLUS FREE PORN |  Rands |
 Tjames | Will this be a real mailinglist, or one where you just yell at people? |
 Mr. Bad | Oooh, sorry, that was supposed ot be a private message. |
| It's real.. . |  Rands |
 Tjames | Will you take things said on the mailinglist and put them in the strip? |
 Mr. Bad | I think you should do a shockwave version, with MIDI music in the background to set the mood. |
| tjames: Good idea. Possibly. |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad | Like, wakachikawakachika porn music. |
 Mr. Bad | Sorry, shutting up now. |
 Mr. Bad | <insert pants response here> |
 Tjames | We have this Pigdog mailing list that has NOTHING to do with Pigdog. It's great. |
| I have no idea what people are going to do with jerkfans.... |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad | I like how you have an XML version of the site. |
 Arkuat | uh, when did the website become the entirety of pigdog? there's tnipnaz too. and this joint. |
| But if it's anything like listening to #jerkcity, it'll PROBABLY INVOLVE HEAPING PILES OF DONGS, ETC. |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad | Does anyone use that XML for anything useful at all? |
| Good question for Pants... apparently, he removed it at one point and PEOPLE GOT UPSET |  Rands |
 Arkuat | matthew bender used it internally as part of a persistent-object class development system while i was working there |
 Arkuat | xml, that is |
 Mr. Bad | Are you ever afraid you're going to wake up one morning and the words "Dong", "Prick", and "Cock" won't be funny any more? |
| Can you honestly say that the word "DONG" or "BONER" will ever not be funny? |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad | Well, like, if you say it over and over again, it just turns into a weird Zen chant. |
 Mr. Bad | BONERBONERBONERBONERBONERBONERBONERBONERBONER |
| SUDDENLY GAY ER |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad | OK, but I guess I see your point. |
 Mr. Bad | Hey, anybody wanna pipe up here or something? |
Weird network silence hits IRC. Tjames disappears almost completely.
 Mr. Bad | Like, maybe some witty repartee and shit? |
 Mr. Bad | Fucking everyone talks over each other and then there's fuckall. |
| Last few questions, I gotta BATTLE THE COMMUTE IN THE MORNING |  Rands |
 Arkuat | well, i'm trying not to interrupt the interview too much, because i haven't been following jerkcity lately, so every time i pipe up, i feel like a schmuck for coming unprepared to the interview |
| LOSER |  Rands |
 Arkuat | right. |
| :) |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad | Not to mention that you didn't even KNOW there was an interview. |
| STRIKE #2 |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad | Hey, so, one more question: why so worried about your privacy and shit? |
 Arkuat | i'll have to administer a beating to my social secretary. |
 Enigma | Can I watch? |
 Mr. Bad | Like, we had to go through more machinations than a BASQUE SEPARATIST to get this interview going. |
| Well, jerkcity content can be rather racy and WELL I HAVE TO BE ABLE TO LOOK PEOPLE IN THE FACE THAT I WORK WITH |  Rands |
| I showed jerkcity to a few co-workers and some totally get it and others stop talking to me |  Rands |
 Arkuat | more power to the anonymity brethren. |
pumps a revolutinary fist in the air.
 Arkuat | s/tin/tion/ |
 Mr. Bad | Yeah, well, ALSO, you blew me off for an in-person interview last week. |
 Mr. Bad | ! |
| I was in New Jersey.. so consider me punished. |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad | OK, that's fair. I couldn't punish you more than that. |
 Tjames | Hey, my connection came back. Just in time for the wrap-up. |
 Mr. Bad | But I am NOT YOUR BITCH. |
 Mr. Bad | I just had to say that. |
 Enigma | Ignore Mr. Bad, he sends out last minute invites and thinks he has commitment. |
 Mr. Bad | Hey, I was forced to sit in a bar in the Mission and drink lots of beer and Wild Turkey! |
 Mr. Bad | Being a journalist is HAAAAAAAARRRRRRDD. |
 Enigma | Poor you. Any new characters in the works? |
 Arkuat | gee, i wish i did that more often. |
| The chat room really isn't public.... I think guest appearances will occur, but SPIGOTDEUCERANDSANDPANTS will continue to dominate |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad | Yeah, that is the core of the team, I guess. |
 Mr. Bad | Listen, I want to congratulate you for the amazing way you bring out something approximating emotion from those characters. |
 Arkuat | memepool uses #perl as kind of a parallel forum for people to toss out links asking if their memepoolable. |
 Mr. Bad | I think you have, like, 8 faces to use? |
 Arkuat | s/their/they're/ |
| Something like that. |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad | And you manage to make it look like there's really someone talking. |
 Mr. Bad | It's kinda like puppetry, in a way. |
 Mr. Bad | In a faggy, lame, arty way. |
| It's the content which makes Jerkcity -- any schmuck could've thought up using ComicChat, but if the content wasn't KICK ASS ... nobody would care |  Rands |
 Arkuat | don't malkovich out on us, mr. bad. |
 Mr. Bad | Sorry I said that. |
 Mr. Bad | Yeah, it's very good. |
 Mr. Bad | So, we already talked about Leisuretown and Jim something something, but what else do you read on the Web, or off? |
| Uhhhh.... TheOnion... hurrrrrrrrrrr... what else... |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad | LAME |
| My web browsing habits are rather lame... |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad | You could kiss our ass and say you read Pigdog Journal all the time. |
| It's mostly newsy stuff. AND I'VE ONLY RECENTLY STARTED BROWSING PIGDOG |  Rands |
 Arkuat | or even better, you could tell us about something cool that none of us has ever heard of before. |
 Mr. Bad | But, fuck, we're interviewing YOU, so we're in the buttocks-smooching position. |
| I have a feeling y'all have a better map of the web. |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad | Hey, so, you know how in like _Details_ magazine they always ask these total IDIOTS that they interview about current events and shit? |
 Mr. Bad | Well, I'm not going to do that, even though I'm running out of ideas, because I totally failed to prepare. |
 Mr. Bad | OK, but what do you read off-line? |
 Mr. Bad | Or watch or porn off to or whatever. |
 Arkuat | yeah, what is your favorite porn. |
 Arkuat | or you said you don't like that stuff? |
| Hmmm... porn. |  Rands |
| I used to dig on www.pornopolis.com (AND IF YOU LOOK CAREFULLY AT IT YOU'LL KNOW WHY) |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad | Oh, hey: rands. |
 Mr. Bad | Name comes from: what? |
| But, my life is more interesting than porn these days |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad | Wow! it is? |
 Arkuat | is that publishable or should we try to avoid "slashdotting" it? |
 Mr. Bad | Do you meet lots of bisexual sluts and stuff who want to have sex with you on your motorcycle? |
| Name is a byproduct of an exgirlfriend |  Rands |
| I'll say no more |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad | Heh heh. It's probably some term for LABIA |
| COULD BEHGUHGUHUHIDFHGUFHUH G |  Rands |
 Arkuat | i think this person needs to take nightly ablutions to prepare for the morning commute |
 Mr. Bad | Shit, I'm worried that tjames fell off of the internet. |
 Mr. Bad | TJAMES! Come back! |
 Mr. Bad | Fuck. |
 Arkuat | *** CTCP PING reply from tjames: 1 seconds |
 Mr. Bad | So, uh, rands, any parting words and shit? |
| STAY WAY GAY |  Rands |
 Arkuat | he's probably investigating the plumbing. |
 Mr. Bad | Inspirational shit for growing youngsters. |
| STAY WAY GAY (STILL) |  Rands |
 Enigma | Way |
 Mr. Bad | Bitchen! Muchas gracias for the interview. |
| PANTS WILL BE FUNNIER THAN ME. |  Rands |
 Mr. Bad | OK, well, maybe we'll bust his ass. |

 Mr. Bad | Oh, wait, he hasn't left yet. |
 Pao Tzu | I have no idea what is going on |

 Arkuat | remember solex vs. the pigdog, paotzu? |
 Arkuat | oh, and happy year of the dragon. |

 Arkuat | i just moved to oakland chinatown and it's been constant firecrackers going off all weekend. |
 Mr. Bad | Man, I hope that guy didn't think I was serious and shit. |
