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?
ie. like the light fluffy stones that people in glass houses can throw.e
Sorry guys, I know I don’t really deserve it since I have been away so long, but I have to try.
MARK
I have to try for 777 that is.
MARK
It is too epic to pass up.
MARK
Whether you agree with my methodology or not.
MARK
777!
MARK
778.
Thank you.
Well I’ve never been to heaven, but I’ve been to Oklahoma.
Congratulations, Psyko. You were positively loquacious!
Now, ten steps to seven ate nine. There must be a better way to spend one’s time.
I am definitely NOT posting this as it will help someone towards 780, which would be wrong.
Damn.
Anyone seen Del?
No.
Has Del seen Anyone?
P.S.: I’ve been to OK too, but what does that have to do with the price of McNuggets?
Del hasn’t seen me, I mean as far as I would know, not knowing what she looks like would make it difficult for me to know if I had seen her.
I’ve been to OK too, it sucks, maybe sucking has something to do with the price of McNuggets since they suck also.
I have never been to Oklahoma. I don’t trust states that have panhandles, especially when they border on other states that have panhandles.
Sorry!
I was at a Sci-fi/linux convention and then spent Monday recovering.
It was GREAT!!!!!!!!!
At least Con is like Vegas.
Sorry at Sci-Fi/Linux Con. Then recovering… still very tired.
Very fun, lots of parties, mutant monsters got out of control only once. (That second time didn’t count!)
Ok …
CARS seems to be eating my posts!!!
CARS won’t let me post as me! What is going on?
–Del
Ok I can post as anonymous. I was at an excellent Sci-Fi/Linux convention over the weekend. It was a blast and I took Monday off for recovery time.
The con was a blast!
Ok trying to post as me now.
Del.
You have several posts as you saying existentially the same thing. Then you’re anonymously posting the same information. Then you come back to post as you again.
Sci-Fi/Linux convention? Is that kind of like RadCon without all the uptightness?
Don’t blame Del. That was me. For some reason the spam filter decided to start dumping her into moderation. I freed them all.
Now I just have to figure out if that’s the same problem Anastasios Booby Chalcedon is having.
Oh, and nobody has even congratulated Del on achieving Seven Ate Nine.
“Congratulations, Del!”
Yes, congratulations Del. That requires an acceptance speech of at least forty minutes duration and must include all members of the family, your producer, director, Miss Banaby, your first schoolmistress, John Moltz, The Blessed Steve etc., etc. and all previous posters, individually by name, that enabled you to achieve seven ate nine. Copious tears are required but the mascara must not run. At this point John will appear and utter those immortal words, “Ladies and Gentlemen, start your engines.”. In the meantime, don’t worry your pretty little head about it.
*Now that should restore her faith in humanity. Would do a little dance but do not know how.*
John, the problem that Anastasios Booby Chalcedon is having is quite different.
He put his boots on the wrong feet and passed out. When he came to, he could no longer walk, having lost all feeling in his legs. Ever since, he has been propelling himself through the tunnels while sitting on a skateboard.
Wish he hadn’t sharpened the edges though.
Now who is going to get the cannibal number?
YaY!!! Moltz fixed me! We love you Mr. Moltz.
Instead of a 40 minute speech I have something that will entertain you much longer.
I can verify that pictures of me in a corset are online from the con ๐
Ok spammy filter seems to be eating my posts again… and it was my 7 ate 9 speech.
i thought it was good. Now you’ll just have to wait for Mr. Moltz to fix it.
Just checking to see if I remove my email address if CARS loves me again ๐
At least when all my posts get added I might get 800!
No 800 for me.
Del,
I thought that telling it you aren’t spam would’ve worked. Doesn’t seem to have gotten the point.
Try registering. Just added the link to the site links up at the top left.
Ace got 800 and I’m not Spam!
I think that calls for a party!
YAY I’m all registered and nifty.
Del, Good to hear from you again. Glad to hear you’re not Spam also, I mean, it’s a tasty pork product, but I’d hate to be mistaken for a can of it.
Huh. I’ve never been officially declared “not spam.” That seems like quite an achievement. I have been declared “stinky” and “disgusting.” I have also been declared “not suitable for small children or the elderly.”
I’d make a speech, but I want the rule about mascara not running to be lifted first.
Beans are always better this way.
ktd,
Retract that statement regarding Spam immediately.
The last Southern Railway express steam locomotive was the Bulleid designed Battle of Britain, Merchant Navy and West Country class streamliners, affectionally known as ‘Spam cans’. There is nothing lovelier in the universe, other than Del.
Thanks Nxxx.
And I’m not SPAM!!!!
I need a T-shirt that says Guaranteed 100% not Spam by Crazy Apple Rumors.
Nxxx, didn’t know about locomotives being called Spam cans. A great steam engine belching huge columns of black smoke across a scenic country vista (sorry for the use of that term also) is awe inspiring.
Surely there is a meatless product that all you vegetarians use in place of Spam. What is it called?
Good point Ace.
I shall picket the Great Wandle Valley Health food/veggie shop for meatless Spam.
Our Antipodean cousins’ Marmite is called Vegemite but aren’t mites meat?

Sorry, stuttered again.
New batteries in trackball.
The other thing Spam has going for it is that song (by Monty Python).
“Spam; Spam; Spam; Spam….” See?
Try singing “Vegemite;….” Nope; doesn’t work.
Ok gonna see if I’m loved by CARS again.
Ok I’m back to Not Del. Even though the wise and illustrious Moltz has declared me not spam, and I have registered I cannot post as me ๐
I, like Rip have never been declared “not spam”. I wonder if there is a way a person could figure this out for themselves, or is a declaration by the illustrious (illustrious? does that mean “not shiny”) Moltz required?
I was thinking Moltz should sell a t-Shirt “Guaranteed 100% not Spam by Crazy Apple Rumors.”
Not Del, who is Del when Del is not spam, that is a great idea. Maybe that will distinguish vegetarian posters from meat-flavored posters. Maybe Not Del you need to sacrifice a creation in the tunnels. to release your not Spam self from the TP. I don’t think anyone has been down there in ages so I am sure bad juju or at least a lot of mutant dust bunnies (pictures which may be found on Daring Furball T’s for a limited time only) have accumulated
Will being a vegetarian non-Spam posters in any way influence the dietary tastes of the various wild creatures frequenting the tunnels? Maybe we veggies should only be attacked by fellow veggies?
Not a good idea, just remembered the elephants.
Nxxx (or Sneeze), word has it that you play tenor saxophone. Let’s start a band! I play the French hose, which is a length of garden hose with a trumpet mouth piece attached.
First order of business: we need a fantabulous name.
Then we need a drummer, and a bass player and … what am I forgetting?
Ace,
I double flute, can you cope with vacuum cleaner a la Hoffnung? Should you be able to fit a slide to the hose, I could cope with that too.
What did you forget?
I am completely talentless, will that be a drawback?
