I have decided that I simply must have a ‘roo scrotum bottle opener.

Just thought I’d toss that out there.

Well, okay, then. Only $25.

There are approx. 25 million ‘roos in Aus. There are only 20 million people in Aus. 1/4 of them (people not ‘roos) reside in Sydney.

That is just wrong. I hear Hillary has a box filled with human ones.

She has those merely to reassure herself that hers is bigger.

Which reminds me:

I would have guessed Helen Thomas or Madeline Albright.

Posting to bookmark: Modern Mechanix blog. Yesterday’s tomorrow today. The white type on gray is a tough read, but otherwise loads of good clean fun…

Which I found through this nifty cartoon site. Which I found because the guy who runs it did the voiceover commentary on one of the cartoons in the Popeye Collection, Volume 1, what I bought on Amazon.

Wow – that sure is a neat site. Makes me wonder what ever happened with the radioactive mosquitos the army researchers were toying with. (In the tin can railroad article) And farm boy Johnny Clive Williams – I wonder if he grew up to be something great.
Johnny, if you ever google your name and end up here….let us know, k?

Only because this has nine comments: I call a curse upon you adults of the 80s for having inflicted this on us.

“People will see me and die.” If they see the video, yes, they will.

And the men–brothers of Siegfriend and Roy, if you know what I mean and I know you do, not that there’s anything wrong with it, and other disclaimers, void where prohibited–seem to boost the estrogen level to astronomical levels.

In the immortal word(s) of our Yiddish-speaking friends: Oy.

To inject some testosterone (my apologies, Your Grace): The Dan Band’s rendition of Flash Dance and Fame (profanity warning: em, there is profanity).

Ha HA! Thou dasn’t frighten me with thine ’80s videos, for I am at work where YouTube is summarily blocked!

Kinda sucks, actually. We don’t get Columbus Day off in this office, but everybody but me seems to have taken a vacation day. It’s a drizzly Monday, and here I am at my desk all by myself.

Wait a second! I CAN GOOF OFF ALL DAY!

It was always on days such as you describe today that I got into the most trouble at work.

Almost no one present, a like-minded tech or two handy, plenty of technological raw material at-hand, an abundance of imagination and a severe absence of common sense. And lots of power outlets and PCs.

Talk about deadly….

I’m not likely to do anything more dangerous than surf the internet all day. Still, CHECK OUT THIS BLOG. Powerline pointed to it. Critiques of hilariously bad paperback novel art. It’s a hoot. Seriously, I’ve hooted like three times since I started reading it.

If memory serves (always dicy) the SA goons did several paperback cover “Phriday’s” but I can’t find them. I do remember one of the Phridays was about pulp sci-fi book covers.

Well, damn. I followed the link and got the first page, but I get the big red hand if I click for any other pages. I hate our stupid internet filter.

It’s almost as if management doesn’t want me surfing the web all day.

How rude of your employer! Well, here’s the second page. Don’t know if it’ll work there in censorland:

http://www.somethingawful.com/d/photoshop-phriday/classic-comics-v.php?page=2

Note the only diff is the page=2 thingy. Maybe you can hand type it in real quiet-like and fool the POS work filter. I’m betting not.

It might be time to walk to the stairwell, laptop in hand, and swipe a li’l bandwidth from the folks next door.

Hey, Weas?

When you move across the pond and waaaay out into the country, will you have decent high-speed internet service?

Its an issue with me where I’m looking for property. No cable way out there in the boonies. I’ve just been gritting my teeth and resigning myself to having to pay for satellite service. That’s gonna suck, budget-wise – like over $100 per month or whatever.

That’s an extra $100 I can’t spend on books or interesting meds or explosives – , but what can one do? Priorities, priorities.

Hey, good thinking, McGoo…yes, it’ll let me through if I type the page number manually. It’s just clicking a link that draws down the big red hand. You’re a life saver! (Or some other kind of innocuous candy).

And, yes, we’re covered for broadband. We’ll actually be only a mile outside the town where we have that holiday flat, so I don’t even have to learn a new phone number. Which is good because their phone numbers look all weird, like Social Security numbers.

Meh. No. Didn’t work for page three. They’re really making me labor for this!

Well, I’m fresh outa ideas. Rats. Ah, well. The SA stuff is archived anyway, so it won’t go away.

Yeah – I’ve seen those strange british exchanges and phone numbers. Unnatural, if you ask me. Tool of the devil. You could go blind.

But I’m glad you will not be without high speed net.

(yeah. I'm going to write)

(oooo! you have a website?)


Beware: more than one link in a comment is apt to earn you a trip to the spam filter, where you will remain -- cold, frightened and alone -- until I remember to clean the trap. But, hey, without Akismet, we'd be up to our asses in...well, ass porn, mostly.
