[01:21] <ChinnoDog> @crickets
[01:23] <rmg51> seen PeenBot?
[01:23] <rmg51> PeenBot?
[01:23] <rmg51> seen PennBot?
[01:23] <rmg51> that's better
[01:39] <ChinnoDog> This place was livelier when PennBot was here.
[01:39] <ChinnoDog> That isn't really a word, is it? "Livelier"? pfft.
[01:40] <rmg51> works for me
[01:41] <waltman> You might find this amusing: http://www.mawode.com/blog/blog/2012/08/17/weirdest-exit-in-nj/
[01:45] <waltman> Or not...
[01:48] <rmg51> that will teach you not to follow Google's directions
[01:48] <waltman> But there wasn't a sign!
[01:49] <rmg51> ChinnoDog: livelier is a word
[01:49] <rmg51> I looked it up
[01:49] <ChinnoDog> oh, well I lucked out then
[01:49] <ChinnoDog> waltman: New Jersey is scary
[01:50] <rmg51> right now I'm going to follow Teddy's directions and head to bed
[01:50] <waltman> Google was confused, too!  If it had said to take the exit for the rest stop, that's what I would have done.
[01:50] <waltman> Teddy always wants to sleep.
[01:50] <rmg51> and eat chocolate
[01:50] <waltman> ChinnoDog: And this was deepest, darkest South Jersey.
[02:00] <InHisName> Ok, waltman, you win finding the weirdest exit ever.
[02:00] <waltman> Yay!
[02:00] <InHisName> BTW what happend at the meeting ?
[02:00] <ChinnoDog> Is there a prize?
[02:01] <waltman> InHisName: We talked about perl modules :)
[02:01] <InHisName> He gets recognized for having one blog entry about weird exits.
[02:02] <waltman> I will now be on the lookout for more weird exits.
[02:03] <ChinnoDog> uh, pardon me if I do not subscribe to a feed for that category.
[02:03] <InHisName> MakePearl(name of clam, number of grains of sand, number of years)
[02:04] <ChinnoDog> I thought each perl was formed around a single grain of sand
[02:04] <waltman> ChinnoDog: It'll be very low-volume :)
[02:04] <ChinnoDog> And really, who names their clams?
[02:05] <InHisName> Moma and Daddy clam ?
[02:05] <waltman> I was just so grumpy after taking an unnecessary 17 mile loop that I had to write *something*.
[02:06] <ChinnoDog> Writing about a bad exit was at least more politically correct than writing about a desire for NJ to sink into the ocean.
[02:07] <waltman> And this wasn't my first run-in with this stretch of the road!
[02:07] <InHisName> I believe there is somewhere a 5 lanes one way where the center lane is the exit only and other pairs end up going the same way beyond.  Hmmm 10 lanes total, might be CA or NY or ???
[02:08] <waltman> Once I was driving up from the south and thought I'd take Rt. 30 instead of the Expressway.  Such an interchange appears to exist if you look at the Rand McNally Atlas.  However, you can only use that exit when you're heading south.  If you're going north, there's no exit there, and you're stuck on this stretch of road where the next exit is 10 miles north.
[02:09] <InHisName> There's at least one of those one-way exits in DC too.
[02:09] <waltman> I've seen roads like that before.
[02:10] <waltman> the parkway is just bizarre between Atlantic City and Long Beach Island.
[02:10] <waltman> Lots of exits if you're headed south, but practically none if you're headed north.
[02:13] <InHisName> Maybe 'cause heading south no-one has spent $$ yet.  Going north, they're done spending $$.  So no exits to clog our streets for all finished spenders.
[02:15] <waltman> I'm OK with them having a weird mix of exits and entrances. I'm not so OK with them having a secret unmarked exit in a rest stop. :)
[02:17] <waltman> Anyhow, time to read and head to bed.  Good night.
[03:38] <MutantTurkey> quick question
[03:38] <MutantTurkey> there are thse metal things
[03:38] <MutantTurkey> which has holes going down the whole thing
[03:38] <MutantTurkey> which allows you to adjust the tightness of the object
[03:38] <MutantTurkey> sort of like a strap
[03:38] <MutantTurkey> but the name is evading me
[04:31] <InHisName> Ummm, belt ?
[04:32] <InHisName> that was a waste, he's gone already
[04:35] <andrew> I was going to say that, but now I know what he's thinking
[04:36] <andrew> http://www.gettysburgflag.com/images/MountingStrapLg.jpg <- this thing?
[04:46] <andrew> MutantTurkey: http://www.gettysburgflag.com/images/MountingStrapLg.jpg <- this thing?
[06:35] <InHisName> I always called them adjustable hose clamps.
[06:35] <InHisName> Turkey's still not online.
