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?
As the MegaPost still exists, your claim is fraudulent.
Ace for President and let him maintain politicians’ veracity for a term or two.
All in flavor say “I.”
We have a quorum, I think. We also have a small nocturnal flatulent rodent by the name of “Fluffy.”
Be it hereby known by all those present and accounted for that henceforward and forthwith, barring the changing of the mind of anyone who may stumble upon this particular server space and all it stands for, Ace Deuce will be in full charge of all those things he was probably doing anyway and will have Wednesdays off unless the floor is more in need of sweeping than usual.
Or we could wait until Psyko comes back and ask him.
eye
Is this a classic case of rodent phobia?
I vote for Fluffy. His flatulence makes more sense than the politicos.
Oy vey! For this I crawled out of bed?
Aye for an eye!
Wait…
This isn’t “Talk Like a Pirate” day, is it?
For pirates it is.
Arrrrrgggggghhhhhhh!!!!
Well then, avast thar ye scurvy dogs! Garrrrrrrrrr!
(You’re sure it’s Talk Like A Pirate Day, right?)
Heave ho, yo ho ho, and a bottle of rum!
Arrrrrrrrrrr!
I thought every day was TLAPD
No Del.
Everyday is Christmas Day, because we are good Apple users.
Wish I got paid for writing this crap.
Every day is the start of a wonderful new chapter in your life. A new career, a new romantic interest, a clean bill of health.
A new you.
That’s right; they’re going to put you to sleep and replace you with the new model. Nice knowing you!
Well, the replacement me better watch his step. I left a little something behind for him.
Careful LL, with Del around, your clone might already exist.
Your right I haven’t cloned anything in like a week 🙂
Oh LooseLeaf you wanna come over here and help me move this mass of loose needles?
Watch out for the clone people–they’re pulling all kinds of scams. I’ve seen that some of the Nxxx clones in the local area have joined the Doppel Gang.
These Doppelgangers have cornered small-time organized crime around here because they always have multiple alibis. Those in one bunch perform all the dastardly deeds while their look-alikes take time-stamped digital photos of each other posing in wholesome activities like volunteering at the hospital, soup kitchen, and park clean-up. And they’re always vouching for each other. It’s disgusting.
Not “disgusting” Ace, merely mistaken or misled, just like politicians.
Clones for President.
Hmmmm…
I could send my clone to work for me.
On second thought, the weather sucks. I’ll sit in a chair and get paid to post stuff on CARS.
Double L gets paid?
Where’s my/our dosh?
Could this be the real reason for Moltz’s withdrawal of labour?
Sit on your hands in support of John. Oh, and yourself.
Altogether now. Page 43 of the Official Apple Songbook.
Eh awon, eh too, eh free and eh for
There’s no leopard
Like snow leopard

I know
Naahh, sitting on myself is too difficult.
Does anyone know if the new generation of iPhones can turn off the TVs in a sports bar? That would be the clincher for me.
Dunno Ace, but Three Grand is a bit much for a phone.
Ace,
They sure can. You just have to make sure you throw it hard enough.
Del,
I am surprised that a master (I feared to put Mistress) of technology should stoop to such brutal and unsophisticated means.
But it does work.
Well, it works once, anyway. Unless you carry multiple phones. In a bandolier. Stylish!
“We don’t need no stinking remote!”
Wait, Moltz is supposed to pay us for posting stuff? I don’t need this other job to pay the bills?
Somebody track that dead beat down and have him pay us. I’ll take empty PBR cans for payment if I have to. Just make sure the bar codes are in tact so I can get my nickels.
Thanks to the video we now know you can do better than just PBR cans.
I think the iPhone would work at least twice as a remote before failing. I think we should test this theory.
Del, I’d be happy to borrow your iPhone to test it.
Turning off the sports bar TVs during a critical Tiger Woods putt or Celts/Lakers playoff game is my idea of a good time. However, I want to manage it anonymously so that I’ll survive to tell the story. Some kind of hidden “iPhone gun” should do the trick, if there’s no way to use it as a wireless universal remote.
Any ideas?
With a Zune you could take three or four mulligans and not feel even a twinge of guilt. In fact, you could just ignore the TV altogether and just throw the Zune on the floor and stomp on it. No one would see Tiger putt. You’d be cheered by the crowd. Best of all, you’d probably score a free drink.
Just sayin’.
There’s nothing worse than having on your dancing shoes when you can’t find your good tutu.
Life. Gasp.
*Faints clean away*
Sorry no iPhone here. The openmoko is a little more my style 🙂
Plus if my phone doesn’t do ssh natively how can I control my iTunes from across the room?
Great. Everybody is off watching old George Carlin videos on YouTube.
I just stopped by to remind everyone that it’s late June, and you know what that means.
Vista sucks.
Vista sucks, whether it’s late June or not.
I truly believe that Vista is one of the greatest er what’s the word I’m searching for?
Steaming pile? No, that’s two words.
Well, I got nuthin’. (lots of it too!)
Longhorn/Vista remains the best example of how grandiose ideas and spiffy innovations can dribble out of a gargantuan production, just trickle away before it becomes manifest. It’s sort of the reverse “stone soup” of the technical world.
‘Stoned Soup’.
Really Ace, you must stop encouraging us to put certain substances into our cooking.
Also, when creating reverse “Stone Soup,” one can create an enormous vacuum.
Has anyone noticed how the average barometric pressure in Redmond compares with that of Cupertino?
It’s Vista.
Could you Cousins please rename Redmond?
You see I’m a Bill Basie fan and it is too close in spelling to Redbank for comfort.
I saw the saddest thing today. I’m stopped at the gas station and a van pulls up. It looks like it is some sort of care for the mentally challenged. While I’m waiting the mentally challenged adults hop out of the vehicle and all go into the gas station to buy their cigarettes. After they each bought their pack they hopped back into the car.
*Sigh*
Didn’t they offer you one, Del?
I’ll be happy to rename Redmond if you agree to rename Clwydfagwyr.
Del, I also find it sad when people buy cigarettes, or smoke, or buy gasoline, or drive monster trucks.
Or overeat or starve. Or get divorced, or get sick, or die. Or listen to Celine Dion or Michael Bolton.
Or hang a velvet painting of Elvis, or see Elvis in a supermarket.
It’s a sorrowful world. Somebody should throw a party to cheer us up.
Yeah lets throw a party! That would be fun. I’ll bring the giant mutated lobsters.
Speaking of the monster trucks… A bunch of my friends want to go to an air show for the 4th and one of the big attractions is that you can go for monster truck rides.
Are your friends going for the trucks or the planes?
Aw, come on Ace, seen how high those trucks fly?
