Last week in Hermit's Cave

"Thank you, some frickin respect at last." - Flashy

Poll Roundup
What's with all the frigging polls people? I only have so many snappy comebacks.

What will your New Year's resolution If you knew it was silly why did you post it Josh?

Are you going to do any work today or.. Wasting time on the web. Nothing to see here, move along.

Did FBI stance mean USB bug #2 is here? Hunh? Who cares? What the hell are the fibbies doing releasing MS bug reports. Was that part of the settlement.

FBI tell people to turn off PNP means? Didn't we go over this.

. What MS-FBI *Really* means: Well we are carrying a theme I guess.

What MS-FBI drama means? Right do we have enough Fibbie related polls now?

Choose a new masthead motto The Register: sacking the hacks that wrote IT

Which finger do you use on the mouse ... Were voting on bloody fingers now.

FNG Roll call SOOPER43 SIMSTER_DD ABITODD RUJAKJUHI (The Poll one)

Weekly Folly Sid will love this one Well late last week SDMYHIENEY wanted to point out a new big ass truck. We stayed on topic, of a sort. Hi Flashy . Er ah look for yourself, the thread was LARGE and focused on our wonderful and patient moderator.

Stupid #&*$^#*(%^@#&^ Computers Dinq opened it back open again with a tom's link. Started us on some kind of gadget talk. With some form of anally inserted Mp3 Player. Spinola of course fought hard and won the "I've got more gadgets than you" competition. Not even counting the ones that don't work. There was a side conversation about how many heartbeats a mammal is allowed to have. Leave it to the engineer type geek from Michigan to take that one seriously.

Quebeckwaaaaa A rather lengthy geography discussion. Mad Mike spent a bit of time with us on that one. We debated the Legal status of the UK and Puerto Rico, the use, if any, of Quebec. A brief concern about the chromosome levels of Scottish women, and others. Not a whole lot of sense was made. But we did find out that Gibraltar has the best weather of the British Isles.

I'm so excited... Our resident economic Luxomburgian got excited about that sort of things those types get excited over. We almost wonder if Mr. TAMEALIEN is the one behind the entire Unification of Europe thing. Just to avoid 4 passport checks and 3 changes of currency while running errands. Started of discussing the new coins, moved onto the ladies favorite (specially Mrs. TCB) Chocolate. Which lead to a discussion of hips, and ladies fashion, which brought SGF out on a rant. Frnht brought up everybody's favorite subject beer, leading on to a few discussions of the Oriental variety. And we'll all be happy to know that Mr. And Mrs. GT made up kissy kissy.

"New" guy asks for advice ABITODD (forever to be known on the summary as Pinto) popped in with a few questions. For some reason the amount of posts went haywire for a newbie post. I reckon were all getting board with each other. The main topics were Shotguns, and Linksys (pthui) routers. With of course the cross thread topic of the week, Hi Flashy .

Phantom radio Kenny seems to be picking up transmissions from the dry-cleaners across the road, and was looking for an explanation. Interestingly enough he didn't ask how to stop it. Lot of people talking radio geek talk, with the best fix from ROTO. Basically cover the house in foil and get a good ground attached to it.

Well been a slow week really, I blame Christmas. Mad Mike Mageek spent a fair bit of time last week, Spinola popped in a time or two. Late in the week the Fibbie story on the main site seemed to create some form of localized tizzy, no bleeding idea why, hell I didn't even understand the story. Looks like the December OOFG fell off the map. It's a sad state when a group of people can't be bothered to hang around and get pissed. Hell GHC even said she was going to show up at a few pubs. That's usually a strong geek magnet.

To: ALL

Made a trip to the village today. Had to wait for some people crossing the street in front of the cafe/brewery. Evidently a young couple had not been drinking the happy suds. The guy was leaning against the SUV and snarled something at the young gal. She stared at him a sec and then told him in a sweet sunny (though loud) way that if he was as smart as he thought he was, he'd be a candidate for the village idiot. People behind me honked so I didn't get to watch/hear the continuing conflagration. Darn!
