i hear the voices when I'm dreaming

[15:26] <isabeau> sentence of the day, for today: we don't touch the chicken
[15:27] <Rainne_> ....
[15:27] <isabeau> Nosotros no tocamos el pollo!
[15:28] <Rainne_> looooooooooooooooooooool
[15:34] * Woggy toco el pollo
[15:35] <isabeau> no toco!
[15:35] <Woggy> ...yes, i know that's not technically right.
[15:36] * exor674 touches isabeau's chicken!
[15:36] <Rainne_> exor674 not without permission, I hope.
[15:39] <isabeau> yo no tengo un pollo
[15:40] <exor674> aw :)
[15:40] <isabeau> ...thereforos tu no puedes tener mi pollo

(ed. note: I haven't learned the translation of therefore, hence the spanglish butchering; and while I have learned poder, can/may, I haven't officially learned the construction for any sentences beyond "$SUBJECT can/can't", so was guessing that it took the infinitive. also I grabbed the wrong verb there)

[15:40] <exor674> I should go get a chicken for dinner
[15:41] <isabeau> (okay so I don't know therefore, and while I know "can" I don't know what verb form to use, but)
[15:41] <exor674> yeah, gtranslate doesn't know "thereforos"
[15:41] <Rainne_> speaking of chicken, that's what i made for dinner, and I need to go put some rice on.
[15:41] <Rainne_> bbs
[15:41] <exor674> but that comes out mostly intelegible barring autotranslate
[15:41] <exor674> "I have a chicken I thereforos you can not have my chicken"
[15:42] <isabeau> por la tanto!
[15:42] <exor674> er hrm, no, if I add a *comma* or something somewhere it's useful
[15:42] <exor674> "I have not a chicken, thereforos you can not have my chicken"
[15:42] <exor674> which I think is what you meant?
[15:42] <isabeau> yup.
[15:43] <isabeau> though I should have said por tanto tu no puedes tocar mi pollo (tocar, not tener, because I wanted touch and not have)

(ed. note: also tu should be tú throughout, but I was lazy)

[15:44] <isabeau> and why in frith's name is google translate defaulting to "translate into malay" >.<
[15:46] <exor674> because malay is fun?
[15:46] <exor674> ( also, touching chicken puts me dangerously close to being able to abscond with the chicken
[15:46] <exor674> so being unable to have it is also valid? :P
[15:47] <isabeau> tu no ... abscondes mit meine pollo *mixes languages with abandon*
[15:47] * Woggy giggles
[15:48] <Woggy> beware of poultry thief!

So apparently, one secret to word count is a) wait until internal editor is drowsy, b) ply self with a bit of rum, and c) type lots. With eyes closed.

(2223 words for today. whee.)

Of course, it also leads to predictably unpredictable wackiness in typing:

[23:13] * isa|nano[325] is now known as nanio[1620]
[23:13] <@nanio[1620]> nts: another is not spelt "anothir"
[23:14] <@spoke> it's nano, who cares about spelling? ;)
[23:14] <@nanio[1620]> given that I let "naother" pass, not me >_>
[23:15] * @spoke huggles
[23:15] <@spoke> it'll be okay, you can fix after nano!
[23:15] <@nanio[1620]> so much to be fixed after nano omg
[23:15] <@nanio[1620]> I sort of gave up on linear storytelling a long time ago
[23:16] <@nanio[1620]> also, ...............
[23:16] <@nanio[1620]> dude.
[23:16] <@nanio[1620]> nanio?
[23:16] <@nanio[1620]> wtf?
[23:16] * nanio[1620] is now known as isa|nano[1702]
[23:16] <@spoke> i wondered about that
[23:16] <@spoke> but put it down to nano-induced crazies
[23:18] <@isa|nano[1702]> nano-induced crazies is a good excuse]
[23:18] <@ryuutchi> True.
[23:18] <@isa|nano[1702]> rum is also a good excuse
[23:18] <@ryuutchi> Mmm, alcohol.
[23:20] <@isa|nano[1702]> alcohol is a good nano ... thingum
[23:20] <@isa|nano[1702]> uh
[23:20] <@isa|nano[1702]> survival
