Nothing. Nadda. Zip. Zilch.

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?

  3. I have a friend who is the vegan who doesn’t eat any plant that dies in the harvesting. So she eats a lot of fruit and nuts. It turns out that I really don’t like plants so I really enjoy killing and eating the bastards.

  7. Actually, Fruitarians and Vegans share quite an interesting historical background, whereas both civilizations where almost entirely wiped out during the Root Wars and set back to a pre industrial age.

    The fabled Slurp is said to be originated in either Fruitaria or Vega, but, in a (rather petty) dispute as to who could claim ownership and therefore bazillions of bucks of royalties throughout the galaxy. This dispute plunged them into a decade long interstellar war that eventually killed off almost everyone on both planets.

    When visiting either culture nowadays, it is advisable not to make any confusing reference to either Slurp, Roots, Fruit, Veggies or Beeblebrox. More then one foolish tourist has perished under the savage beating of the otherwise friendly and peaceloving natives due to this fatal mistake.

    Note of Interest: Fruitaria possesses an extended chain of Starbucks, and iPhones seem to work well with their wireless network. It is seen of good manners to cover the apple logo, though, as it coincides with the banner of the tragically ended 4th Batallion (see Root Wars for further reference)

  8. Hey, Tera-Post-arinos, does anyone remember what the actual post title or date was for the Mega-Post? I’m actually trying to track it down but it’s hard as the Movable Type export is split across many large files and it’s impossible to scroll through and spot. I have the post ID (230), but that apparently isn’t included in the export.

    I’ll take Giga-Post info, too, if you’ve got it.

  9. “We’re Off Next Week” was the title and the first post was from Der Hauptmann.

    You must’ve had about 1000 weeks off so it might be a fruitless search.

  10. I got it. The problem I’m having now is that, even on its own, it’s too big for WordPress to import. Which is probably why it never made it out of Movable Type. I’m trying to weed out the spam comments to make it smaller but that’s pretty tedious and not showing big results.

  11. Young Johnny,
    Will recommend you to Brenda for a Knighthood (no, it is not a condom) for bravery and support for the UK Tera-Post Users.
    If you get a letter from Buck House, you’ve made it.
    Thanks.

  13. Ah the Terapost. I have missed thee these nigh months… And being not the strictest of veggie crowd, I must now catch up to whose rootless, topless, meatless, and less than interesting. This is what happens when you get stuck in a tunnel cave-in and have nothing but a My Little Pony teaspoon to dig out with.

  14. Mr. Moltz

    I’d be happy to do the weeding.

    i seem to recall contributing several large blocks of SPAM for mister Mega.

  16. I’d be happy to email it to you, Del, but I don’t think it’s going to work. I’m about 1/5 of the way through and I’m just not seeing enough spam to make a difference. I’m trying to think of another way to do it but the comments are only associated with the post by proximity, not by an identifier.

    And why didn’t anyone tell me Huck posted the “Did. Not. Know. That.” post in there?!

  18. John, is there some way to chunk the archive? Part one, part two, etc? It’s not like we would be adding comments to it; probably just need it for reveling in our youthful cleveracity.

    And to do research for our doctoral dissertations.

  19. Ace,
    Are you trying to emulate Stanley or Escofier?
    Either way, you spelt the desert-based word wrong.

  20. I forgot how big the Mega Post was. Back when we had Huck and Cai and we first started our mad scientist inventions with the iFlame and the hmPod.

    Hey thats the first time I’ve typed iFlame since upgrading to Leopard. I just had to learn the spelling.

  21. Doesn’t Tiger teach Leopard to spell during the upgrade? I thought that was why it took so long.

  22. Tigers and leopards do not co-exist, except in zoos but definitely not in Macs.
    Something to do with an artistic clash between the two forms of camouflage.

  23. Back in 1873 (the post, not the year … stupid), Doc W0lfram said something like:

    Unfortunately, I think that Veggie Eskimos are a Walking Contradiction!

    You couldn’t be more wrong. I hate the cold, so being an Eskimo is pretty much right out. I also hate animals, so I make sure some animal has died for every single meal, which means I can’t be a veggie either.

    Unless I’m a vegetarian Eskimo that lives near Mexico and tries to save the plants by eating animals. I guess that could be it.

    It’s nice to have our beloved TP back, but it’s confusing that it’s upside down like this. I’m also not used to the pages bit, but it does make it faster to load than it used to be. So I guess this is all a good thing, in spite of the fact that change is evil.

  24. The file size itself probably isn’t the problem – it’s only 1.44 MB. Big, but not huge. It’s the sheer number of comments that’s the problem.

    Here’s the file for your downloading enjoyment!

  26. Does the whole set come with a set of matching Ginsu knives? And if I order before midnite, do I get a Veggie Eskimo thrown in for free?

  27. If I post this, it takes us one closer to…………………
    Should i press the button?
    Will it bring the sexbots any closer?
    Shall I, shant I, shall I……………………………………….
    Isn’t indecision marvellous………………………………..

  29. John, I think you should at least put togerther some sort of top twenty commentaries, or some stats, showing how often JFC, lesbian ninja sexbots and ponies appear and that sort of thing, not just throw the entire package into the wild and forget about it.

    Zero marketing skills, mate, tsk tsk.

  31. This upside down bit will take a bit of getting used to, maybe if turned my monitor upside down….and then crossed my eyes… nope no help at all. ›

  32. Yeah and the pages are a little weird. On the plus side it won’t take so long via dialup to read the TP or GP when I’m at home.

  33. Del, you really should get bod brand. It’s so much faster, and all you need to get started is a branding iron, a bod, and an iFlame.

    Alternatively you could get a broad band, like the Lennon Sisters.

  34. Hmmmm. This is odd. Did someone bring Cincinnati chili in through the Saskatoon tunnel? It smells like poutine and Tabasco sauce in here. Also the bigger numbers are on top. That’s just wrong.

  37. We had a broad band over here, Ivy Benson and they were good. Wouldn’t let me join them, despite my MU ticket. Bitches.

  38. MP does bring back memories!

    I forgot when I threatened one of my friends that they needed to post in the MP or I would iFlame them.

    I also forgot how many hours we wasted playing iFlame tag.

    *Del tags Nxxx w/ an iFlame*

    Your it!

  41. Well I would prefer the German police instead of an of those Spoiled Czech police. Those Czechs can be a nasty bunch if they can’t have their way with the iFlame.

  42. I happened to catch the TV production of Terry Pratchett’s “Hogfather” the other night. One funny thing that I don’t remember from the book was a label on Unseen University’s analogue computer that said “Ant Hill Inside.”

  43. I was gonna say something all witty and stuff, but then I got here. I’m all confused, the numbers are counting down … are we all going to die here? Then our buddy Rip mentions Saskatoon, you mean there are other people in the world that knows that place exists?? I have relatives near there, what’s your excuse???

    If I throw up in the tunnels, will it hit the ceiling because everything is upside down or will it hit the ceiling because I’m throwing up and not throwing down? If I throw down, will someone get hurt?

    Ouch. I think that hurt my brain.

  44. I’m not playing, you always tag me, and it hurts and whilst I’m wiping the tears from my eyes, you all run away and hide.
    So I’m just going to sit here and sulk.

    “What do you mean, what’s different?”.

  47. Let’s see… Nxxx is “it” but refuses to play. So where does that leave the game?

    Bones: “It’s dead, Jim.”

  48. You’re all being horrible to me but you’ll be sorry when I’m dead.

    Who said “Like to place a bet on that?”?

  50. As we’re in the Twenties, anyone fancy a Charleston? Was going to suggest a Blackbottom but realised that was dicey with you lot.
