LONG LIVE THE MEGA-POST!
You should be able to view it again, but Masako had to shut off the comments at…
3821.
She had to delete one spam comment to get it viewable again (link).
Please, let’s hear a big round of applause for all of you who posted in the Mega-Post and kept it alive for a year and four months. Please use this comment thread to post your fondest memories of the post with the most…
the Mega-Post.
Just click on your picture and it will take you to the gravatar page so you can also have a cool happy pic.
Hang on…
Oh bollocks.
Oooh, do I need to put in my email or something?
Let’s try that.
Hah ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Let’s get Del to make us *all* Avatars. I mean, it’s not like she’s busy or nothing.
Can you make me one of the entire England cricket team getting soundly thrashed? Feel free to be creative with that homonym.
Was that the Cricket Team I was supposed to send to Abu Dhabi?
Damn! Sent the tiddlywinks team by mistake.
Are you TTing this year, Nxxx?
Hah! My Avatar is *still* there.
It’s like magic.
I may have to put a more appropriate, less pissed one on.
Del – can you draw me as a pirate!
AHHHH I LOVE the stick figure BroMu!
You should just be able to screen shot the part you want.
BroMu,
Pleased to say I am sending the UK Tea Total Team to the Isle of Man in June.
Re your avatar, as a schoolmaster, where’s the cane>
Still ‘embedded’ in a student that displeased me.
Like a journalist doing a ‘deep probe’ investigation.
Good luck with the proto-Darwin Awards. Don’t let anyone get pissed or nothing….
Wondering about viewing the Superbowl as it goes on until very late. It is the first weekend of the Six Nations RugbyUnion and therefore of great import.
Can you Cousins guarantee that the post game entertainment will be as great as that in Egypt recently?
Will Joey Barton be playing? That could clinch it.
Unless you are living in New York or Boston, you probably won’t find much post-game hooliganing.
I don’t know if this is a game of chicken, or not, but there’s no way I’m gonna post a comment first!
Disappointed. Stayed up to watch 46, managed to avoid that middle-aged bint, watched the third and then fell asleep just before the fourth.
Still don’t know who won.
The people who sold the ads won. They’re the only ones that always do.
Nxxx,
I understand your pain. I watched a cricket game some 20 years ago but missed the end. Even read the result in the newspaper the day after.
Still don’t know who won.
See. Cricket *is* life.
Cricket is life if your name is Jiminy but does this also apply to Locusts?
If cricket is life, then why is some behavior “not cricket?”
Undead?
Although, in retrospect, England did play like zombies in the last series, so…
Del, my wife wants to know if you can stick a mars bar or pint of milk in the hand of my Avatar instead of the booze. She says it would be more appropriate (not least because I’m either going to die of a heart attack or prostrate . . . she’s such an optimist…).
Listening to BBC World Service this morning and delighted to hear Paxo, an affectionate term for Jeremy Paxman, a TV presenter and political questioner ask, “Why do all Presidential Candidates look like over 50 vitamin advertisements?”
Will do BroMu give me a couple days to figure out how to do the wrapper and milk.
Hah!
Del,
BroMu lives in Kent, a county that grows hops, barley, has Oast Houses for malting and brews good, strong beer.
He MUST be holding a foaming tankard.
You stay out of this, Nxxx. Just because you’re in league with the Devil’s Brew.
And by ‘in league’ I clearly mean ‘in bibed’.
Or ‘in ebriated’.
Or similar.
All our Oast Houses are ‘character dwellings’ now anyway. Not sure bankers know much about hops (unless it’s some obscure financial accronym).
Aren’t “Hops” another version of “Hedge Funds”?
Based on the widespread mayhem of recent years, bankers don’t quite have a handle on the proper execution of their duties. seems to work for them, however.
Bankers, wankers, what’s the difference?
A two million pound bonus and a smaller forearm?
Yesterday a fire broke out in a power generating station on opposite side of the Thames to Gravesend.
Any explanation offered?
Was one of you skipping stones across the Thames again?
When I first heard of Kylie Minoque, suspected that it was one of those diseases you picked up from non disinfected public lavatory seats.
Is victorsantorem something similar, please?
That’s over near Tilbury. I’d hope a fire would have broken out as it’s wood-chip burning (from Canada, apparently).
Alternatively, it might have something to do with my new trebuchet.
It *is* in Essex, after all.
Nxxx, it is a disease that, despite our best efforts, has not yet been eradicated. It’s a surprisingly intelligent disease, so you’d think it would have learned by now.
I thought “new trebuchet” was an oxymoron. What’s next, old news?
Question to everyone.
Will Lion run on the Raspberry Pi?
I’m more partial to apple pie. Though I also like cherry pie, and sometimes, peach pie. Not really a fan of raspberry pie, capitalized or otherwise.
As for that other thing, I think Lion’s memory requirements are a tad high for the RPi. (Not to be confused with the RPI, which will have an impact on next weekend’s NCAA tourney seedings.)
I *totally* know what that last bit was all about. Yup, I’m all over it, me.
Dear fellow CARS denizens,
I humbly offer, hopefully for your entertainment, a short story, in four episodes.
The inspiration for this tale originated with the comments of Nxxx (here) and Huh? (here), both of which can be found with John’s post entitled “Apple Provides Fabulous New Feature Free of Charge.” My story is therefore found following those same comments to said post, starting here.
To fully appreciate the story, I suggest you to begin with Nxxx’s first comment and continue until you reach the Anonymous comment, and then read the story itself.
So far, I have entered only the first two episodes. I invite and welcome your comments and criticism of them. If you would like to read the rest, please say so, then I will happily post them; otherwise, I won’t waste your time or John’s space.
Y’r ob’t s’v't,
OSC
Who gets the copyright fees, me or Moltz?
BroMu,
I think college basketball is far easier to grok than cricket. If nothing else, the games have a definite end.
But so does cricket, Steve: the refinement of a Gentleman to such a degree wherein his is ably equipped to wrestle the Helm of HMS Empire!
Just google ‘match fixing’ for ample evidence thereof.
@Nxxx,
You fellows work that out among yourselves.
I suggest NERF guns at 30 paces — first one to actually reach the point where the other one is standing wins.
I could never launch an assault, other than verbal, on Moltz.
After reading the final sobering installment of the saga of Office Security Camera, I find that I’m craving some Marx brothers mayhem, or Three Stooges stew. Or Rocky and Bullwinkle frivolity. What channel is that on?
Ace,
Isn’t Super Tuesday enough excitement for one person?
@Ace,
That’s another reason why I threw in that Danny Kaye link at the end.
