This is the world of #ytsejam on IRC. There are many regulars who frequent our room as well as some new voices being heard. This is the run down of who's who and what's what on IRC.

      Let's start with some of our regulars... I'll let you know about all of them in further issues but we can start a few at a time.

      There is Skadz... who we all call either Techn0Jesus or Big Brother as he is watching and you never know when or what he may see! Skadz is a benevolent dictator though. IF you give him all your money and Guinness!

      Oh and if you have any pineapples, watch out for Rick Terry... he seems to have this fetish for doing ungodly things with Pineapples!

      Now if you want to talk Tull or Yes, then Tempus is your man. He's got a passion for those 2 groups as well as being the GrandMaster BootyFunk Fresh Crew!

      SoulShkr is our latest addition to the Lady Jammers of the channel. She has a way of lightening up the channel when she saunters in.

      Now for real fun try the channel later in the evenings, sometimes that myth BafuVai shows up and watch all hell break loose! If you get Bafu, Eckie and Vinnie in the same channel watch out!

      Now for some random musings!

      Never give a certain Jammer with a blonde afro some Josta. If you do... hide your walls! And another Jammer who needs to stay away from Surge, he tends to take on some characteristics of Rabbits!

      Now there are a few Jammers who have taken on alternate lives as warriors in the game StarCraft. Don't ask me I can't play those games, but I understand you can find them on battle.net most nights fighting till dawn!

      Also, beware of the Jammers who congregate on iParty. You will never know what voices are popping up from whom! But on iParty you can hear some great new music. I know I did!

      Want to have an interesting discussion? Start one on the merits of American beer vs. beers from other parts of the world! That will get lively real quick!

      Now to warn you, everyone seems to think I live on this channel, and yes sometimes it seems like I do... so be warned... you may see some of the funny happenings here in my column!

      I've heard through the grapevine that saveur has grown a third nipple. While it's somewhat certain that he has one, there have been no reports as to where it's located. Could it be on his forehead? foot? behind? Any further information should be sent to ytsemirror@dreamt.org.



      This little juicy tidbit of news comes straight from one of the users of iParty. It seems that Tempus has listened to The Vapors' "Turning Japanese" over and over again and has actually turned Japanese! It was most evident when he repeated "You odah eggroll, you eat eggroll!" over and over again quite loudly. He also proclaimed his love for Derek Sherinian and how he wanted to give him some of his "wanton soup." One can only guess what he meant by that.



      It turns out that Christian (aka KillMary) and Calvin6S are going into the suntan lotion business. As one could imagine, they're testing it out on newbies and noting on the physical deformities it causes. Supposedly, they're working on bringing it to the marketplace by late December or when Dream Theater gets played on MTV again, whichever comes first.
