Late Breaking: Hermit's Cave Forum

[We dunno why it's taken us a week to post this Sid, sorry about that. Demarcation error, I reckon. For anyone bemused by any of this, check out our Message Board, Hermit's Cave, for the entire context... Ed.]

First off I should apologize in advance for this weeks summary. Seeing a dog get hit by a car last night and being stuck in Oklahomo doesn't exactly do wonders for one's sense of humor. But even with those handicaps it should turn out better than that pot of piss that Flassy turns out every once in awhile. I mean really folks. Got a broad on my mind too, of course that never helps. This week due to our venue rather than the Living room, or the Speakers Pub, I'm currently in a Mexican restaurant (staffed by Indians (not the dot kind)) drinking Ritas outside waiting for a tornado.

World Cup Was going to combine this with the Footy thread, but thankfully any talk of football disappeared this week. For some reason it was cooking thingies, appliances. There was some talk of bread makers, continuing from some weeks ago. Why are people fascinated with the George Foreman grill? They say it cuts down on the fat, anyone ever seen George foreman? Guy is freaking huge. Names all his kids George too, at least the male ones. Bonadsa asked about grilling fuel, which got us onto BBQ for a while. I'M STILL PISSED I AINT GOING TO MEMPHIS! And we learned that FRNHT likes to get up at 3Am, which is odd because most of us didn't think he slept. In the end there was a bunch of Wibble about British television. Everyone knows how boring that can get.

Are you watching the footy today? Well, the to be expected boring footy talk. From what I gather, Ing-ur-land didn't lose as badly as was to be expected. About midway through SDMYHIENEY and SGF started talking interest rates and mortgages. Was infinitely more exciting. If you like that kind of thing, which I don't. Spinola said he doesn't like Cricket because the balls are "to hard." I am NOT going to investigate that. Oh yeah, and Dr. Evil let it be known that as a typical world domination type (i.e. typical government bureaucrat) they have TV's in the office. There was also a bunch of talk of streaming Video and radio through the intranet, typical for this bunch of geeks. Talking geek crap in a sports thread.

Genuinely Impressed Well sitting here in this Mexican joint with Frnht's download, I can't see the first two posts. After careful study (read drinking a Rita, eating some nachos and staring at the healthy ladies.) I figure it has something to do with Resumes and job agents. There was loads of talk about that kind of stuff for a fair few posts, Flassy had the best story. Then mentioned mortgages, which brought out the bean counter et al, apparently they have 50-year mortgages over there. Daft buggers, that's even stupider than leasing a car for cripes sake. Of course Dr. Spinola had to bring up his wasted youth on Narrow boats. Surprised he can remember he owned one. Well the good thing is he can probably get another one soon. (See other threads). Whole load of narrow boat discussion. Is a narrow boat like a tiny pecker, only longer?

LAST CALL IS AT 9pm !?!?! WTF

Basic home office & network Freaking Geeks. Loads of fax talk. And someone (can't see it again) suggested tape backups. What the hell. Tape was invented by the Nazis in the 40's for fecks sake, why not backup to papyrus.

Win2K boot floppy? GEEKS!!!!

Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy Ozzy with Phil Collins on Drums. Mind of I jump of this landing. That in and of itself isn't enough, but the guy at the place next door is taking advantage of Karaoke night to do "Wasted away in Margaretville". The two combined is more than I can handle.

Dear Diary, my weekend started with… TIGGER IS GETTING MARRIED! Funny some questioned his sexuality, now we're just questioning his sanity.

Network Tedium Talk about an apt description. Now they're singing I will survive. Maybe you will, maybe you won't. There was a fair bit of abuse, but it didn't last to long. Nor can I. Something about the Rita's in this place. Last week they had a surprise ending as well. Near the end there is some music talk that might be worth your bother. I'm off.

One of my uncles had a 54 Jaguar Mark IV for years. In the sixties his favorite trip was taking the great dane for a ride. As you all know, here the steering wheel is on the left. Not in that particular Jag weren't. There's the car with this massive dogs head hanging out the window on the left side cruising down the street. People in the left hand lane never got real close to that car. Lewis was known for a few other things but we won't get into that now.
