Talk:Quest for the Golden Waffle

''This is the center/hub for postings on my story, Quest For The Golden Waffle. I will occasionally post upcoming sneak previews for new chapters in my book. Feel free to post feedback, ideas, images, and other stuff on here!'' Explorer 767

Isadore Base Macrosky (or IBM for short)

 * Purpose: Operates 1950s-esque mainframe, used to be an archeaologist in the past.
 * Information
 * He consistently mocks Fred for his lack in computer skills (remember he's a math geek).
 * He uses computer terms instead of normal words on a constant basis.
 * IBM is hard of hearing and easily forgets what he was talking about mid-conversation.
 * IBM insists that his old-timey mainframe is better than a modern day computer (though he's wrong).
 * He came to Dorkugal before the Dorkugese.
 * He is a very, very, old penguin.
 * He used to be an archeaologist also searching for the Golden Waffle, but he gave up on that and went into the IT buisness. IBM still remembers the legend of the articfact, though.
 * Will be a major character in the book.

Perra Bola

 * Purpose: At this stage he is a hobo Focci. Soon he wil form his own clan.
 * Information
 * Was banished from his clan for being a "goodie-goodie".
 * Has an evil brother: Hypir Bola.
 * Is one of the only good Focci.

Quotes

 * Fred 676: Shoo, you nasty diminished ellipses, or I'll whack the radii out of ya!

Explorer: (yawning carelessly) The thing doesn't have a keyboard, Fred. Maybe you should rewire the AND/OR pathways, and maybe tinker a little with the fractal resistors. Then, rewind the magnetic tape to the beginning. Oh, and did you check the frontal diodes? They might be faulty.
 * Fred: (while trying to switch the system to standby) Phooey! Where in the name of integrals is the master switch? Doesn't this thing have a Ctrl-Alt-Delete function? Argh! I've got you now, you impudent little CPU!
 * Keyser: AAAH! A Focci!!!
 * IBM (see above): You crazy kids! Get off my mainframe! Fred: (in response) ...does he mean "lawn"? IBM: My hearing does not compute, sonny. Increase your volume!
 * IBM: Shut your output! I'm a-talking here!
 * IBM: (to a Focci) Well, you certainly are all 8-bit, aren't ya?
 * Fred: How do you work this thing? IBM: (senile) I don't tell you how to program your life!
 * IBM: (points to a light bulb-ish item) That there's a vacuum tube. It "PWNS" yer fancy newfangled transistors. Explorer: Don't those things blow up daily? IBM: No, of course not! (a faint explosion is heard) IBM: ... then again, they do have a tendency to do things... Fred: (overhearing) What happen? Explorer: (sarcastically) Someone set us up the bomb.


 * IBM: (to Explorer) You think you've got it so good with yer mice 'n keyboards 'n graphical shells... well, ya don't! Your noob friend can't even use a seventeen line William tube! Fred: I am not a noob! Math is my skill, not running a machine with less memory than a floppy disk! IBM: Youngin', you are so a noob. Your noob status does not even compute. Fred: (angrily) I AM NOT A NOOB! IBM: What were we talking about? I lost my file. Explorer: Well, that proves the necessity of AutoSave. IBM: AutoSave? That's for lazy, cowardly, couch potatoes who can't even read a spreadsheet!
 * IBM: So whippersnapper: ya think yer not a Noob? Fred: I am SO not a noob! IMB: Okay! Decode this! (IBM hands Fred some punch tape) The text reads: 01001001001000000111010001101111011011000110010000100000011110010110111101110101001000000111010001101000011000010111010000100000011110010110111101110101001000000110000101110010011001010010000001100001001000000100111001001111010011110100001000100001 (courtesy of this site) Fred: ... IBM: Oh come on! An abacus could do it, sonny! It's just a simple binary sequence! Fred: I give up. IBM: That's Binary Code for "I told you that you are a NOOB!" Hee hee hee HAAAHHHH (wheezing sound)!! (Explorer overhears. He takes out a shovel and gives IBM a hard smack on the back.) IBM: (angrily) OUCH! What was that for, you little whippersnapper?! Explorer: 0101010001101000011000010111010000100111011100110010000001100110011011110111001000100000011100110110000101111001011010010110111001100111001000000100011001110010011001010110010000100111011100110010000001100001001000000110111001101111011011110110001000101110 (i.e."That's for saying Fred's a noob.")


 * Explorer: (to IBM) Are you sure you're not a noob? IBM: Of course not! Explorer: Then decode this! (hands IBM a roll of punch tape) The text reads: 127150157047163040164150145040156157157142040156157167077 IBM: (puzzled) This isn't even binary! Argh, what have you given me here, youngin'?! (Explorer hands the roll to Fred. When he reads it, Fred starts giggling uncontrollably and walks away smiling, while IBM looks on, baffled.) (P.S. The text is in octal (base 8). It reads "Who's the noob now?")
