Weakly Folly
One for eyecandy junkies A continuation from last weeks discussion of boot times. That bit is as boring as can be. But not half as boring as what came next. There was a short discussion of Spinola's sleeping habits, which led to his Stylus/tablet problems. Apparently he's using a Moses Mark II Tablet, but has some spaced aged stylus powered by Dilithuim crystals or some such. This lead to a discussion of the more reliable ways to power your basic warp engine.

Damn damn damn! Started with a extension of an old thread discussing Wines. In particular this time around Das German Vines. Spinola and his posse started taking the piss out of the German wines. Even discussing a decades old problem of anti-freeze in the vinto. Hey guys, how are they supposed to keep the wine from freezing in the long journey to wherever. Ended with a dialogue of SGF2's background, vis-à-vis the family lines.

CVS via HTTP? Kenny posted a little geek sweet talk to SGF2. Thankfully it earned him a little razzing from the nut gallery. Specially due to his regedit whoopla from the week before. I mean we know he's a damn potbellied geek, no sense proving it all the time. Flassy then went onto a rant about the word boxen. Between that and his ongoing rant about Micro$oft, you almost wonder if he has enough fiber in his diet. What will be really weird is if Micro$oft start making boxen, as the Inq article the other day alluded to. I mean they (Micro$oft) are already making boxen bits. Like the ever popular Micro$oft Mou$e. Anyways he seemed to want to make the point that boxen isn't the plural of box, boxes is. Boxen of course is a much more popular term. I think because it rhymes with boffin. Regardless Flassy should know not to talk of words that he doesn't like (Boxen and Micro$oft for example) because it means we will just use them more often. Boxen.

New Capri Boxen A rather embarrassing (for me) discussion on vehicular modes of transportation (An area that Micro$oft hasn't gotten into yet). We shall not discuss it here.

Micro$oft: plundering the poor to feed the rich I just wanted to say Micro$oft again. There was only one post, no reason to summarize.

Ouch. The Guinness has run dry. Maybe that leak was worse than I thought. I wonder if the downstairs neighbors have a big Guinness colored stain on their ceiling.

Zone Alarm Boxen, a non Micro$oft product. There was a bit of my favorite hobby, Limey bashing, here. A discussion of the best (sic) cities in England. After that a brief discourse on the best of UK television, the Backenders and how it compares to Greek mythology. This obviously led to other another topic equally boring, and painful to think about. IT strategy and that whole IT managing Luser's boxen and such.

Nigerian boxen scam Hell if I know what's going on here. There was some talk of someone committing A-post-essay or something, whatever that means. Barrynung gave us an update of his spammer baiting. More than a little slagging of British Lack-of-Telecom. With the English git contingent saying how much they hate them, and the other half saying how great they are. Having recently experienced what the English consider customer service, I would tend to laugh at the half that think BT service is good, and cringe at how bad it must be if the other half dislike it. You guys should go with Ikea telecom. It's cheaper too, because you have to run your own wires. Oh and Spinola still aint got ADSL.

munkhey on boxenshop.com Apparently Mr. G has a fetish for uncouth stuffed animals. Actually went so far as to give up his credit card for one. A few pictures for those interested.

Quick question, to save money for me! I want to buy more boxen Bunch of technical wibble about various types of boxen hardware. Everyone trying to see what they could blag of Spinola for ten rusty spanners and less even.

What's the boxen like where you are? Flassman started out looking for a new place to lay his fat arse down. For whatever reason the entire thread pretty much focused around Edinbuggah.

HEY TONY! LOOKING FOR SOME PHONE BOXEN! Basically just as it sounds. Lots of Phone wibble. But no word from Tony. A little flirting between SGF2 and the Dirty old hack. No the Spinola one.

Tired,,,,, no guinnessssss sleeeepppyyy

Can't be arsed anymore. And heeeerrrreeesss Hermie.

Ahhh yeah. I just have problem understanding how Josh can see all these things when he has his head up his. I luv tourists, I just got a new bbq sauce and I'm quite anxious to try it out.

Like I said, went down to the river Tuesday and watched all the healthy young ladies, them's good tourists. The one's we get downtown are from all over the world and come to wind surf here in the Columbia River. Guess it's supposed to be one of the better spots. Steady winds 12kt to 35kt quite frequently. The ones we get up here are viewers, bike riders and hikers. Like them too! Now to figure out a fool proof way to get all their money... No one will donate to The Hermits Church Of Hermitalogy. Think they're all athiests...

I prefer the one I knew only she spelled it Alix. Kid loved to wear body suits. Oh yes. She was taking dancing lessons and going to college the same time I was. Oh yes. Healthy, healthy young lady. Loved to go to the coast in MG's. Me too! Best thing that ever happened was my first wife divorcing me. Otherwise I'd have never met such interesting people as Alix. nooo. Hmm, there used to was an Alex Marshall in my home town. Had a grocery store. Guess name popularity comes and goes. May we never got through (Peace, Snowflake, Venus, etc) the names of the 60's again.
