You know, I’d feel bad about us not getting a post together tonight, but I know for a fact that you just come here for the comments anyway, so it’s no big deal.
Anyway, you’ve got the whole weekend ahead of you and a wad of cash in your sweaty little fist (which is all covered in Cheeto dust), so maybe you could dump a little of it on one of our fine advertisers.
There’s Rogue Amoeba. They make good stuff. Although Kafasis tried to kill me that one time.
Well, there’s also Delicious Monster. The things they can do with an iSight camera. Tell you what. Although Shipley did call me a… well, let’s just say he said I like to do something to dogs that I don’t. Totally. I mean… really. I don’t even know how that would work.
Anyway, that brings us to our new advertisers: Shiny White Box and Many Tricks. They also make boss software and so far neither of their CEOs has tried to kill me or accused me of being into bestiality.
Of course, we’ve only just met so…
I should probably give them some time.
…
Do you think Gruber has this kind of relationship with his advertisers?
I’ve found that setting the iFlame to “Simmer” is great for removing unsightly body hair.
Too bad it also removes the sightly body hair…
Okay, Huh? got the palindromic post. Who will get the 1234?
Is it considered ungentlemanly conduct to start stacking now?
Yes, but we expect it. Stack away. I’m off to bed and will check back in seven hours to see how quickly you are progressing.
Hmmm the bones get in the way? I think I’ve got a new experiment to run. I just need a few rubber chickens and a squid.
NO!!!!!!!!
An eight pronged clucker?
Still it solves the only one breast, two legs and two wings problem at barbies.
iSquicken?
I was thinking iChuid might be more marketable.
I think we can even solve the hair/feather problem.
Never plucked a squid. Never hope to.
This calls for “The Pheasant Plucking Song”
I’m not a pheasant plucker, I’m a pheasant plucker’s son
I’m only plucking pheasants ’till the pheasant plucker comes.
Me husband is a keeper, he’s a very busy man
I try to understand him and I help him all I can,
But sometimes in an evening I feel a trifle dim
All alone, I’m plucking pheasants, when I’d rather pluck with him.
I’m not a pheasant plucker, I’m a pheasant plucker’s mate
I’m only plucking pheasants ‘cos the pheasant plucker’s late !
I’m not good at plucking pheasants, at pheasant plucking I get stuck
Though some pheasants find it pleasant I’d rather pluck a duck.
Oh plucking geese is gorgeous, I can pluck a goose with ease
But pheasant plucking’s torture because they haven’t any grease.
I’m not a pheasant plucker, he has gone out on the tiles
He only plucked one pheasant and I’m sitting here with piles !
You have to pluck them fresh, if it’s fresh they’re not unpleasant,
I knew a man in Dunstable who could pluck a frozen pheasant.
They say the village constable had pheasant plucking sessions
With the vicar on a Sunday ‘tween the first and second lessons.
I’m not a pheasant plucker, I’m a pheasant plucker’s mum
I’m only plucking pheasants ’till the pheasant plucker’s come.
My good friend Godfrey is most adept, he’s really got the knack
He likes to have a pheasant plucked before he hits the sack.
I like to give a helping hand, I gather up the feathers,
It’s really all our pheasant plucking keeps us pair together.
I’m not a pheasant plucker, I’m a pheasant plucker’s friend
I’m only plucking pheasants as a means unto an end !
My husband’s in the forest always banging with his gun
If he could hear me half the time I’m sure that he would run,
For there’s fluff in all my crannies, there’s feathers up my nose
And I’m itching in the kitchen from my head down to my toes.
I’m not a pheasant plucker, I’m a pheasant plucker’s wife
And when we pluck together it’s a pheasant plucking life !
Now, Del, if you had put each stanza in a separate post, we would be at 1234 already.
BTW, where is Nxxx?
ANYBODY OUT THERE???
(Is this mike on?)
Well, I guess I will claim it if no one else wants it.
1234!
Sorry, Nxxx.
Fooled you!
Notice that the first entry in the Tera-Post is zero so this is the real 1234.
I was scared to post cuz I took the last good number from Nxxx by accident.
Didn’t want to do that again.
Nxxx had the Tera-Post to himself while those of us in the New World were sleeping. He just needs stacking lessons, that’s all.
1238 doesn’t mean crap to anybody, so I’ll take that and lock it away in my bunker.
Took my first 2 week vacation in years and spent most of the time hurting myself. It wasn’t all it was cracked up to be, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. No really, it was fun – when I wasn’t in pain!
Case in point, I got to the top of Pikes Peak. You know that at 14,110 feet you just can’t breathe anymore? So I just rolled on down the hill – and sprained an ankle. At the time I appreciated the pain, it reminded me that I wasn’t dead yet.
Oops, I guess 1238 meant something to someone after all. Sorry Ace, I’ll just take 1239 AND 1240 to make up for it.
Hey. Is 1209 messed up or is it me? Wait. I know I’m messed up. Is it just me? I can’t tell you the places I’ve been or the places I’ve seen. I mean I could, but I’ve forgotten.
My old G5 has six (VI, 6, 5+1) gigs of RAM and a shiny new 23″ HD Cinema Display.
In accomplishing that I have become pretty good friends with the guy who fixes Macs in my town. His name’s Frank. He’s cool. He gave me a AHT disk for free.
While we’re on the subject, did anyone change the water in the Hippo pool? It was starting to smell like Steve Ballmer.
I thought that was Steve Ballmer’s pool. There was a guy in there splashing and shouting “Developers! Developers! Developers!Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers! Developers!”
Sorry.
Huh. Hippos, Ballmer, stench; who can keep it all straight.
Anyway, I think we can disinfect it with some everclear, as long as there aren’t any residual Zunes.
Has anyone seen my stapler?
Rip,
You offered your stapler to Alex in a trade for oh, I forget, whatever.
WC,
The only way up or down Pikes’s Peak is by race car or motorcycle, rolling is so chav.
I haven’t been to Pike’s Peak in a couple of years. I’d love how the city would be 90+ degrees and you’d put your winter jacket in the car and drive up. Then you could get out and put on your winter jacket and be comfortable. Then you could laugh at all the n00bs freezing their ass off.
There’s a reason the souvenir shop sells sweatshirts 🙂
The next post to get:
1248
So who posts after I do?
They get the coveted 1248!
Wow!, I got 1248,… could somebody tell me why that is cool, important, prophetic, desirable etc._
1+1=2 2+2=4 4+4=8
Also a nifty number for binary thinkers
Also, it is the only four digit number in which each number is double the previous number.
Besides that we think it’s cool. Well. They think it’s cool. I think it’s a smaller number than 1250. 1250 is really cool
1248 is also the number of the room at the Imperial Palace Hotel in Las Vegas where I stay when I’m in town disguised as a high-roller.
Numbers, schnumbers.
You’re all taking advantage of me just because I fluff everything except my one times tables.
Well I get that one right most of the time.
I’m just taking this post because it was available.
Really.
Number 1254 reserved for the Deuce party.
Nerdgasm!
Gwanghoodoodle!
If we are talking numbers, what is the next prime?
Doc I believe that is Gordon Brown
I believe Doc was talking about numbers not beef.
*clears throat*
iPhone iPhone iPhone iPhone iPhone!!!!!
okay had to get that out of my system. all better now.
Aren’t they a little large to pass through the human system, or are you one of Del’s products?
Thanks, Del. Your response was a correct one. If I had been more precise in my question, I might have received a different answer. (And then again, maybe not!)
Okay, ‘fess up. Who among you has an iPhone?
We can’t get them in Yurop.
Not that I want one, prefer my two baked bean cans and string.
In America you can buy barbecued baked beans. Nobody in the old country can figure out how to keep them from falling through the grill.
Okay, I want to know who the REAL bourgeoisie are here. Who bought an iPhone and showed it off while standing at a urinal in a drinking establishment.
???????
Rip,
You drink from urinals?
You really are hard.
Sorry, no iPhones in ND; AT&T doesn’t recognize our existence.
Now, when Apple hitches up with Verizon, then we might be talking.
The ice makes it taste better… So I’ve heard.
Someone at work has an iPhone. None of the prob’s other people have been having (unable to register/choppy You-tube vids).
It is pretty sweet, but I wouldn’t pay the money for one.
I’ll have an iPhone. Not just yet. I have to wait until my old Razr finally breaks. It can’t just keep bouncing back off the wall into my hand and answering calls forever
The New South Wales tunnel is in need of some fresh 45 RPM records. The batch they have is past the expiration date.
NSW Tunnel?
We haven’t even got an Old South Wales Tunnel.
We’re feeling really peeved on this side of the Pond, what with no iPhones and now tunnels.
Nxxx,
As I recall, the committee put you in charge of the UK tunnel development. So who’s to blame if your tunnels are behind schedule? The iPrairieDogs? The iHedgehogs?
Mmh hnh, thought so.
