I like to set people's nicknames for my chat, so I thought of a suitable name for him (Roger Starks195 is st00pid, and I don't know/remember who I'm talking to). So naturally, I used the first thing that came to my mindSession Start (AIM - Lightspeed:Roger Starks195): Sun Feb 15 21:37:04 2004

.03:40:26. > Lightspeed: delay the chained event?
.03:40:32. > SupremeN00b: a delay for what though
.03:40:36. > SupremeN00b: from entering the level or what?
.03:40:39. > Lightspeed: for the chained event.
