With the domain problems on this site, I am becoming most vexed, the trebuchet is ready, I\'ve been firing Palms, PocketPC to keep my vicious mind active.

I\'ve now got my sights on the ZUG site owner.. ;-) Only joking Michael!

...incoming!...


Ohhhhh, NICE shot, your Imperial-ness! ZUG down. Range established. Fire for effect, Gridley.

Talk about weapons of mass destruction! A most Feersum Endjinn (with cudos to Iain Banks).

Take a pocket PC, put some feathers on it, nail it to the floor of a bird cage, and then argue with someone about whether it is \"dead\" or not.



He he he he

\" \'Es only in sleep mode.\"

Sounds like one of the better, if not the best, uses for a Pocket PC (except for trebuchet fodder, that is).  :twisted:

stifled! not a chance... we need a reason to laugh.


And isn\'t THAT the honest truth! Robin Williams says laughter is one of the few things our governements haven\'t figured out how to place taxes on yet.

bah, this episode sucks! where\'s the prequel?  nyquil?

Scott


Ahhhh, now you\'ve entered a domain of my expertise. Why settle for something wimpy like nyquil when there are so many alternative downers?

Although, if you are jaded and feeling bored, rather than a downer, I would prescribe a \"Hunter Thompson cocktail\" (purified extract of adolescent iguana pineal gland with a dash of scopolamine). Guaranteed NOT to be boring!   :shock:  ......   :idea:  .........   8)

but the few spoilt it for the many by attempting to start flame wars.


You know, I missed the posts that started this whole thing (and let to the closing of guest postings).  Are they still around, or did the admins delete them all?  If so, can someone recap (for posterity)?

All of the offensive posts were deleted (AFAIK)... at least the ones that I took care of were deleted.  I don\'t have a log of the posts, but I do have a log of the usernames and IP addresses.

I can\'t remember specifically what the exact words of the post was that sent me over the edge (and made me change the permissions that day), but it was offensive to me... and I don\'t think I get offended easily.

Maybe I could find a South Park episode that could effectively encapsulate the scenario...
