GPF Archive: Tuesday, March 30, 1999 Nick: Ya know, you should really quit smoking, Ki. / Ki: Et tu, brute ? / Nick: No, really. As a friend, I'm concerned about your health. Look, I'm out of here.

GPF Archive: Monday, April 5, 1999 Dwayne: Gang, one of our biggest customers has requested that we review their client software for Year 2000 readiness. / Dwayne: Since they're getting us started so late in the game, we'll probably be bringing in a contractor or two to fill in the gaps.

GPF Archive: Tuesday, April 6, 1999 Ki: I can't believe Dwayne hired a contractor to help out with this Y2K project. It's too late for this stuff. He shouldn't have taken this job. / Nick: I wouldn't worry about it, Ki. I think this software is already close to compliant. We shouldn't have much to do.

GPF Archive: Friday, April 9, 1999 Dexter: Hi, Ki... / Ki: Before you ask, Dexter, the answer is no. I won't go out with you. / Dexter: Look, I'm sorry I've been such a pest. I don't mean to, honest. But I've really been interested in you since we first met, and if you'd give me a chance, I'm sure you'll find there's a lot more to me than meets the eye. / Ki: If I go out with you, and I have a terrible time, will you leave me alone forever ? / Dexter: I'll be on the first starship to the delta quadrant.

GPF Archive: Saturday, April 10, 1999 Nick: Dexter the trekkie contractor is really starting to get on my nerves... / Fooker: Other than being a bit annoying, he seems okay to me. / Nick: Well, he didn't practically take over YOUR PC.

Too good lookin'... / Ki: You can quit the act now, Fooker. / Fooker: I take it the date with ol' Dexter went well this weekend ? / Ki: It was great !

He really surprised me how much a gentleman he can be. / Fooker: And I take it you threw "this old thing" on because it was the first thing in the closet... / Ki: Too bad you won't see what I planned for tomorrow night...
GPF Archive: Tuesday, April 13, 1999 Fooker: So Dexter was a pretty kewl date, huh ? / Ki: I thought he was kind of a psycho-obsessive type, but this weekend he proved me wrong. / [[Ki's office got "trekked"]] / Fooker: Nah. He's psycho and obsessive.
 
GPF Archive: Wednesday, April 14, 1999 Ki: Dexter! What did you do to my office ?! / Dexter: Oh, Hi Ki ! I Gave you some gifts out of my Star Trek collection. I hope you like them. / Ki: But what did you do with all my stuff ? / Dexter: Oh that junk ? I Threw it all out. I needed the room to put in all my gifts. / Ki: YOU THREW OUT MY STUFF ?!? / Dexter: I bought you one of those Princess Leia slave outfits from "Return of the Jedi."

GPF Archive: Friday, April 16, 1999 Ki: Nick ! You look like you haven't slept all week-end ! / Nick: I haven't. I've been here. / Ki: It's the Y2K project we've been working on ! You finished it all on your own ! This must have taken hours non-stop ! / Dexter: Waitaminute... If the project is finished, that means... / Dexter: I'm out of a job. / Nick: Let the door hit you on the way out, fatso.
GPF Archive: Saturday, April 17, 1999 Ki: I've done some asking around, and I've learned Dexter has quite a reputation as a jerk. It was only a matter of time before he would reel me back in. / Ki: When you finished up that project and got him released, it woke me up before I made the same mistake again. Odd as it sounds, that's the sweetest thing anyone's done for me. Thanks, Nick. / Nick: <> / Ki: I'll take that as a "you're welcome."
GPF Archive: Monday, April 19, 1999 Fooker: Check ye ol' mail... Let's see, ... bill, bill, junk mail, bill, eviction notice, bill, credit card application... / Fred: Who's this "Bill" you keep getting mail for ? / Fooker: Very funny. Hey, here's another letter for a Dr. Fredrick Physarum. I thought I told the postman he doesn't live here. / Fooker: I hate it when you have to tell people to do things more than once. / Fred: Uh...

GPF Archive: Friday, April 23, 1999 Fooker: Not only do I have a sentient slime mold living in my apartment, but he teaches literature at a major online university... / <> / Fred: It has its benefits. I am judged by my intellect. Not my appearance. My students respect me, me peers admire my depth of knowledge, and I can use the faculty pool for free if I'm in town. / Fooker: I guess all that time you spent watching PBS was good for something... / Fred: The chicks on IRC dig me when I recite love poetry...
GPF Archive: Saturday, April 24, 1999 Narrator: Dr. Fredrick Physarim, online literature professor: / Fred(online): Today, we will discuss your reading assignment: Tess of the d'Ubervilles. / <> / Fred(online): Many of my peers will dissect this classic as a tragic tale of lust, greed, and social inequality... / <> / Fred(online): I simply call it a boring book.
