Dunno about all the poop going on around here, but those J-run errors are a signal for me to gather up all my crap, and haul my ass to work, so I can get some shit done.
As far as deleting it goes - I wish he hadn't because I liked the thread, but I can't blame him. I didn't get a timeout, which was pretty cool of him. Oddly enough, I have no webspace anywhere, so if anyone's game for hosting the first half of the thread, I've got it archived.
How many times do I have to try to tell you
That I'm sorry for the things I've done
But when I start to try to tell you
That's when you have to tell me
Hey...this kind of trouble's only just begun
I tell myself too many times
Why don't you ever learn to keep your big mouth shut
That's why it hurts so bad to hear the words
That keep on falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Falling from your mouth
Tell me...
Why
Why
I may be mad
I may be blind
I may be viciously unkind
But I can still read what you're thinking
And I've heard it said too many times
That you'd be better off
Besides...
Why can't you see this boat is sinking
(This boat is sinking this boat is sinking)
Let's go down to the water's edge
And we can cast away those doubts
Some things are better left unsaid
But they still turn me inside out
Turning inside out turning inside out
Tell me...
Why
Tell me...
Why
This is the book I never read
These are the words I never said
This is the path I'll never tread
These are the dreams I'll dream instead
This is the joy that's seldom spread
These are the tears...
The tears we shed
This is the fear
This is the dread
These are the contents of my head
And these are the years that we have spent
And this is what they represent
And this is how I feel
Do you know how I feel?
'Cause I don't think you know how I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
I don't think you know what I feel
You don't know what I feel
Ryvar - I coudl host but on preview I see quonsar bat me to it.
I went back to see if there were any more funny comments and *pouf* thread was gone. Aw poo!
I hate when that happens. Ok, so it was really good of him to not give you a timeout but it seemed so darn harmless from where I was standing, and pretty funny. You didn't spell out how it was done, and if a few nutty users wanted to spend 5 bucks on cranking out other prank-names, well more toys to Fiona. In any case, #1 would chuck the fakers out as soon as he saw the thread, we all knew that. Right?
deborah, not having time to read each thread on MeFi, I feel I lack the empirical data to extend that statement to an absolute. Which is to say, 'hope springs eternal'. ;)
Weirdest thing. I tried the Search page to look up some email addresses for a potential Seattle meetup and the combo box didn't list "users", instead there were three choices, then I went back a couple of minutes later and the combo box was back to normal with threads/users. WTF?
I kept wondering if Matt was going to give me and karl a paddling. I want to be good.
*enjoying a little peace and quiet after the poo fest*
dodgygeezer, I think you owe it to me to supply your special windscreen wipers now that my monitor is covered in lemon cordial.
Definitely the funniest comment of the week. :- )
