rygar: How in today's world do you browse the Web without Adobe's Flash plugin?

jointstereotype: keepvid.com

rygar: Hmm. Copy a video URL, open a new browser tab or window, type in the keepvid.com URL, wait for it to load, paste the video URL, click "download", wait, click "download" again, rename the file to include an ".flv" extension...seems like a lot of effort just to watch useless clips of urban homies grinding rails outside old folks homes.

jointstereotype: Or this (Adam Fulara).

rygar: That is so going in my Favorites.

jointstereotype: Good man.

rygar: I assume you have the FLV file bookmarked in your home directory.

jointstereotype: "Home directory." Listen to you, geek boy. I thought you'd gone running back to Windows.

rygar: I would have. If only I'd had something to upgrade from. Stupid $100 Windows XP Home Upgrade version.

jointstereotype: So, you're using Ubuntu again?

rygar: Yes...unfortunately.

jointstereotype: Awesome. Welcome back to the church of Scientology. What are you going to do with that Windows CD?

rygar: I sold it to my aunt. She has an old K6-2 she wants to revive.

jointstereotype: She'd better have at least 512mb of RAM.

rygar: That's her problem. No refunds, no returns—hey, e-mail me that Adam Fulara video.

jointstereotype: Why?

rygar: I want to practice making farting noises while showing him to friends.

jointstereotype: Well, it's your time, I suppose. Check your inbox in a minute.

rygar: Sweet. Once I have the FLV file, how do I watch it?

jointstereotype: VLC.

rygar: Is that anything like BLT?

jointstereotype: VLC won't give you Crohn's.

rygar: I'll have to try it. Later, though. I'm going to sign off for now.

jointstereotype: So early?

rygar: I've got work to do:

Enter if ye dare...and leave thy breeches outsideth

jointstereotype: Dude, Super NES gamepads have 6 buttons.

rygar: Yes they do.

jointstereotype: And you only have 2 thumbs.

rygar: Shut up.
