Weekly Folly
Anti-terrorist stuff. A long lingering thread, it was re-started this week by Flassman, KrAP and Gazpacho. More inter-Anglo squabbling. KrAP got concerned that the Secret Pinko Headquarters was found out. It is interesting to note that Dr. Evil (Tamealien) was quiet this week; my guess is that relocation was taking up much of his time. A few more links to some articles, presumably about Afghanistan. There was a rather long discussion on expensive tasteless, sorry I mean organic foods, which went on for a bit with the regular types you'd expect to talk about that sort of thing. Luckily Kenny diverted us into cannibalism, unfortunately it was just for a bit, and then we were back on to dairy products.

Where else do you "Hang out" Krikey, I'm not too sure what the hell was going on here. KrAP asked where else we wasted our time, which went on for a bit. Then someone mentioned not staying on topic and everything went to hell. There was some talk of a movie, best I can reckon it was “A fish called Wanda” but I don't recall a halibut in that. Then TCB complained about crap HP drivers, which everyone seemed to get on the bandwagon for. It is interesting that most of their drivers don't work, and that they have the most people writing drivers just to avoid using theirs.

Howdy NOREGRETS62, a newbie took it upon herself to introduce herself, and wonder why we don't talk much about XML. CUZ IT'S BORING AS ALL GET OUT THAT'S WHY!! There was a few Frnht Posers, trying to make like they were as tied to technology as the Lord of the bots. Josh spent some time looking for his shirt. A little discussion on the rules of talking geek. Mainly only if it will annoy me or Spinola. Then there was spell of Dungeons and Dragons. Get it, “a spell” c'mon that's classic. Humorless prats, the lot of ya. You have to admit it beat the hell out of Thermie's “boom boom” joke.

More changes at Delphi A little griping at the little c***ing sucking B***ards that don't have the brains Jeff gave an emu, over at Dulphi. I shouldn't be so hard on them, once they institute the new plan they'll go belly up anyways. He he, 41 posts mainly between me and Larrison, with a little squeaking from SDMYHIENEY and SGF. At some point we tried to give Larrison some driving directions in Boston, which turned into the infamous four-corner stop sign question. Funny thing is, after giving Larrison a hard time about Arizona I ended up being sent there. They say it's the fastest growing area in the US. Well yeah when you got 15 or 20 people living somewhere and a family of four moves in, that's allot of growth.

Dudley Moore A short little discussion on Arthur's death. As per usual Dinq was completely confused by any discussion that wasn't about the evils of America. While there was a fair bit of discussion about Dudley (“He was a fair pianist”) we also talked about celebrity deaths. Whiteknave called the Queen Mum a day or two before it happened. It's my opinion that she just wanted to outlive Dudley Moore. There was that crack he made about a shriveled up old windbag. Uncle Miltie bought the organic, non-pre-processed chicken liver farm as well. Everybody is calling the Pope next. I wouldn't count on it. When we used to drink together he was able to surprise not a few folk who thought he was a tottering old geezer. I'll never forget the time he whacked that Redneck outside Knoxville with his hat. He was always getting me into bar brawls. Ahhhhh Good times, good times.

Who here has Delphi Advanced or Plus? Late bloomer of the week. Started out with Larrison who seems only interested in the forums in general, and hardly talks about any other topic, save Tempe. There was a fair bit of forum and e-mail wibble for a while. Then I made the mistake of uploading a few picies. A few of our more colorblind members made some inflammatory remarks and pictures. Remember guys. No matter where you are, or where you hide our snipers can drop you in an instant. Have a nice day. Apparently Flassman's arse is red with flat black stripes. I don't even want to know what is the cause of the stripes. I wonder if it has a fiberglass top too.

Summary The thread continued as our readership foisted faint praise upon our guest writer. Flassman didn't do to bad for a first try, I guess. There was a fair bit of talk about fart jokes. SGF mentioned something about scratching herself. I don't know what that's about, nor do I want to know. Of course Flassman's suggestion of Fire-walling SGF led the propeller heads onto a firewall geek discussion. You lot get entertained by anything don't you. Gazpacho came in late replying to a bunch of posts we had all forgotten about, as he is wont to do. Oh and Thermie's rather hilarious sailing pun.

Hard week as you lot didn't stay on any one thread for very long. The ladies seem to be disappearing. Got one new one, but where the hell is Mrs. TCB and the Computer Widow. Though SGF posted a little more than usual. She seems to like the fart talk.

Next week I thought we'd give Flassman another chance. Everything is better with practice you know. For you Lurkers, don't forget the US OOFG. Paddy Burke's about 5pm. Someone get there early and grab some seats.

Hermie's Quotable Quotes

You're thinking of Dense. hmmm. same thing isn't it? How about more heavily populated..

I had to go to Iowa a while back and rented a Toyota. The six or seven other cars, Fords, were pretty well crapped out. The poor fellow could not believe I was renting a Toyota. Asked if he had a decent BMW I could use which put him into a true dither.

Years ago when I worked for Datsun I stopped for gas on a trip to Arizona. The guy at the station asked what kind of car it was and I told him Datsun, just like it says on the name plate. Whars it made? Japan. I ain't gonna pump no gas into no D###ned Jap car!

Glad I was in a fairly large town with more than one station. The guy at the other station said the old fart wouldn't pump gas for Italian or German cars either. Not sure what branch of the service the guy had been but he wasn't letting go of WWII.

Had a couple of fellows at the group homes that were also. Bought em goats milk or some fake stuff. Meant no cheese either of course. They have a tablet over here that they can take before a meal and helps digestion. Stops the visible ummm farts.
