Amusing semi-Lojban conversation.

[Robin Lee Powell <rlpowell@digitalkingdom.org>]

Background:

This was on IRC (in the #sxmc channel).  pinfu is the name of the
www.lojban.org server.  vreji_dk is the thing that records IRC
conversation that occurs in Lojban.

16:49 < rlpowell> .y. la pinfu cu mo

16:50 < kpreid> The machine samxarmuj is running on?

16:50 < tene> mutco tolcando li'a sai zo'o

16:51 < rlpowell> .oi fucking sai la apatcis cu fucking spofu za'u re'u

16:52 < rlpowell> xu ckire

16:52 < kpreid> .u'isai

16:52 < rlpowell> (yes, that was code switching, and yes, it was natural; I
didn't force it)

16:53 < kpreid> xagmau le purci

16:53 < kpreid> I know. That's what was funny.

16:53 < kpreid> It was so you.

16:53  * rlpowell laughs.

16:54 < kpreid> (I think code switching Lojban is a fine thing, btw; why not
practice even if you can't say it all in lojban?)

16:54 < rlpowell> Fair point.

16:55 < kpreid> I also regret that the above conversation was not said in
#lojban instead.

16:55 < rlpowell> la .apatcis. cu pu za co'a di'i pilno pi so'a cpu time

16:55 < rlpowell> We could always paste it back.

16:55 < rlpowell> .i mi na jimpe le rinka

16:55 < kpreid> ...no.

16:55 < rlpowell> :)

16:55 < tene> but would vreji_dk record it?

16:56 < rlpowell> It doesn't record this channel.

16:56 < rlpowell> Which I should probably fix.

16:56 < kpreid> Er, tejavni->tcila is not an object reference.

16:56 < rlpowell> *blink*

16:56 < tene> Well, it wouldn't record the entertaining code-switching.

16:56 < tene> which, acknowledgedly, it probably shouldn't.
