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?
Del,
I’ll play ‘Thumbwhere over the rainbow’ today.
That should render it comatose for weeks.
There was a rainbow but as soon as I did the F to F octave, it fled.
Just in case, Eb to Eb octave concert, I hope.
Ok I’ve got the Rainbow down. Someone grab the syringe and extract RNA from the rainbow.
*splunge*
*sleeurp*
*vooosh*
Okay, here’s a liter beaker full of rainbow extract: RNA, DNA, MBA, PhD, FD&C Blue No. 2, FD&C Green No. 3, FD&C Red No. 40, high-fructose corn syrup, and dihydrogen oxide crystals. Smells good!
Where’s the monosodium glutamate?
It doesn’t taste right without lots of monosodium glutamate.
Ummm….. Small problem. Turns out that wasn’t a rainbow, but king just finished tye dying all of his clothes.
Anyone in the market for king clones?
I say ship the King clones out with the Nxxx clones. Give ’em a choice.

Looks like Ace is the one with clone troubles, one seems to be mimicking him, double posting and all.
Oh, look! We completely missed the 17th of May!
I was tempted to post that day, but I had the crew tie me to the mast so I wouldn’t.
Yeah, there was something about “darling buds of May” and all that. Pork ribs too. Didn’t touch the computer all weekend. Very theraputic.
Is quoting Shakespeare permitted here?
Sure, Nxxx, why not? Shakespeare is at least close to as entertaining as the fine literature that our esteemed former proprietor JM generated.
Some guy named Bacon wanted royalties for use of the quote, but I kept it to fewer than seven bars, so it’s not plagiarism.
D0c,
Surely you are not suggesting that the esteemed J.M. is the real author of the nineteenth Sonnet?
oww! Shakespeare, Snakespear, snakeshpere, has anyone one seen my snakespear, there is a snake in my sphere
I firmly believe one of the Nxxx clones went back in time and became Shakespeare. So Nxxx, I don’t think it is plagiarism to borrow from your clone.
Some forensic historians have recently published a paper in Nature, positing that there never was a Shakespeare. The great works attributed to the supposed “Shakespeare” were actually produced by an infinite number of monks scribing random phrases on parchment for an eternity.
They also found that Bacon was a pig.
Then the cost cutting measures came and replaced the monks with monkeys. The monkeys weren’t as good and the whole operation tanked. Of course the CEO cashed in all his or her stock options at the peak of the whole ordeal.
Ace,
You go too far.
Bacon was stabbed in the eye in a Deptford tavern. How do you stab a bit of streaky in the eye?
Other than that, I attended a school founded by Edward Alleyn, known as Ned Alleyn in the film “Shakespeare in love”, so it must be true. Hollywood, like politicians, would never lie.
“How do you stab a bit of streaky in the eye?” I suppose it depends on whether or not anything has been added-on.
Del? Been customizing any pork products lately?
I can not comment on pending litigation. How was I supposed to know that they wanted iBacon and not eyeBacon. I told them business was better conducted over email as opposed to the telephone.
So, there you have it!
Setting up for the next jump…
I see a rope ladder hanging from the sky here. Will that take us to the next page?
I’m going to try it, although an escalator would have been much nicer.
Cheapskates…
Either my eyes have gone funny, or CARS has.
Well it always was.
Here’s hoping the jump still happens with all this… whatever it is.
Hell! Let’s see if we can change it.
Deep breath and………..wait for it………..jump.
Excuse me, but this looks more like Word ’08 than CARS.
Damn.
Can I have a rain check?
Rip,
Watch your language on this board.
Well, that wasn’t too bad, except for the rope burns.
Next time I’m going to ride in the howdah.
Um WTF?
Not only did CARS get ugly it got slow. Takes forever for pages to load.
Rip is right this is Word ’08
Does that mean you can only post eight
words a go?
Once again John is testing us fans to see how loyal we are. First abandonment, then ugliness and sloth.
Next he’ll probably put chalk in the pudding and tacks on the chairs. Then, he’ll give us tickets to a Mariners game.
I, for one, refuse to crack!
I’m not going to abandon John now. It’s obvious he needs friends. Deteriorating taste in decor is one of the early signs.
The next phase includes homebrewed PCs, a filtered cigarette maker, white socks, and a double-wide trailer.
We have to save him before he starts buying Little Debbie Snack Cakes and Busch® Light.
For the love of all that’s decent John, seek help.
Ace,
I’ve got the rest but where do I get Little Debbie Snack Cakes and Busch Light?
Couldn’t find the registered glyph but shouldn’t that be Lite.
Yeah, in retrospect it looks as though that whole PBR thing was an early cry for help.
I was going to post something to commemorate CARS triumphant return, but the new look scared me away. It’s all different and slow and it looks offensive compared to what I left, like as if micro$loth took it over and is trying to slowly destroy our little island of goodness. I’m scared.
This is the Tera-Post, and sometimes it seems like it will overtake the Giga-Post since it is a little more popular. Does anyone know why that would be?
Because it is there?
Because we can still find it?
Because everyone needs TP
What do you mean,”still find it?”
Find what?
This thread, I think. You found it. They found it.
Or so I’ve found.
Nothing has been found Ace – we’re all totally and completely lost. Bevis and Butthead lost, don’t even know what street we live on lost, don’t recognize anything lost. We’re not sure if we’re even in the right country, let alone city lost. People swearing up a storm, using such foul language as “Word 08” lost.
Or maybe it’s just me.
I found fifty cents in the couch. Now if I can just figure out a place to spend my new found fortune.
I think this is the beta for the next version of W*rd. It can’t be ’08 since scripting still works.
Does this make us foundlings? If so do we have to kill any remaining parents and grand parents?
I’m not a foundling, but I have been known to founder from time to time.
And I could claim to be the Founder of the Tera-Post. I offer this quote from early in this thread to bolster my claim:

If we all agree that I am the Founder, I think I’m entitled to take Wednesdays off if I so please.
