<Raider3> Bunny: Just another way to pass time in the wee hours of Sunday morning....
<Shinsei^X> heh, I gotta try this...just to see. heh.
<Kyousuke> Infrared status marker relay functional and awaiting ignotiion!
<Riiya> See, the good thing about having Raider3 as the final word for the race is that he's both on efnet and anime.net, and therefore neutral
<Kyousuke> ok, I'm going to warm up the car now.. be back in a bit...
<Kyousuke> riiya: yeah!
* Kyousuke idles for a while...
<Raider3> Nonetheless.... Results should be availabe around 7:10 am or so... No guarantee how long it will take me to post up the channel log
transcripts, but the results will be posted as soon as I can hack through my web page files...
* Riiya idles a bit himself
<Riiya> Raider: take over, man ^^

<StrEEsed> cam irc.anime.net see us?
<CatsMeow> kyousuke: do it for California, do it for efnet's vast superiority over anime.net..do it for the pride of Mom and the Apple Pie and Anime Expo!!!!
<Raider3> irc.anime.net detractors may take note... not too much interest from goemon ... as he said -- "goemon doesnt ef*ckednet"
<CatsMeow> do it for anime!!!!!!
