Oh man, this is shocking news. Though Way and I lived in the same city, we never met in person. Whenever we chatted in-game he was always pleasant. I had no idea that he was ill.

Unfortunately, I can, in a way, understand his decision. When you have a chronic illness you can easily become so depressed that you can only see one way out. It's this black, black monster that took me away from this community and keeps me away. It's quite easy to sound cheerful, especially in on-line chats, even as the blackness eats away at you. I could go on but I won't. Some day I will come back to stay.

Today I came to say a simple good bye to Wayfarer. Rest in peace, Way. You will be missed.

In 19 more years, you too can use this jolly fellow to wish people a happy birthday.

Can't have 2 birthday old guys in the same post. That just makes everybody puke.

Hmmmm, the more I use this one the more appropriate it becomes. lol

Here lies Pavid,

crushed to mush,

The rest of the team said,

You lead the rush!!??

Everything is crossed and I'm praying just as hard as I can for you guys. Hang in there and may God be with you.

And look what he did with them. Painted em brown, put them on his head and topped it off with a hat.

I prefer the T in B & W. Fatty on a T-shirt, whether in B&W or colour is just too disturbing. LOL

An additional thought. Many of us are unable to make it to FragFest for one reason or another. How about generating some additional income by offering us T-shirts for whatever price plus S&H. It would give us a chance to support FragFest in some small way.

I think Shep just got confused. He was probably trying to play de_train while driving the train.

Interesting Honda Ad

This is really neat..

Be sure to read the info first, then watch the clip.

And you thought those people that set up roomfuls of

dominos to knock over were amazing. There are no computer

graphics or digital tricks in the film. Everything you see really happened

in real time exactly as you see it.

The film took 606 takes. On the first 605 takes,

something, usually very minor, didn't work. They would then have to set

the whole thing up again. The crew spent weeks shooting night and day. By

the time it was over, they were ready to change professions.

The film cost six million dollars and took three months to complete

including full engineering of the sequence. In addition, it's two

minutes long so every time Honda airs the film on British television,

they're shelling out enough dough to keep any one of

us in clover for a lifetime.

However, it is fast becoming the most downloaded

advertisement in Internet history. Honda executives figure the ad will

soon pay for itself simply in "free viewings" (Honda isn't paying a

dime to have you watch this commercial!).

When the ad was pitched to senior executives, they

signed off on it immediately without any hesitation - including the

costs.

There are six and only six hand-made Honda Accords in

the world. To the horror of Honda engineers, the filmmakers

disassembled two of them to make the film.

Everything you see in the film (aside from the walls,

floor, ramp, and complete Honda Accord) is parts from those two

cars.

The voiceover is Garrison Keillor. When the ad was

shown to Honda executives, they liked it and commented on how amazing

computer graphics have gotten.

They fell off their chairs when they found out it was

for real. Oh, and about those funky windshield wipers. On the new

Accords, the windshield wipers have water sensors and are designed

to start doing their thing automatically as soon as they become wet.

Ya, I had it done 2 years ago. It's done Laprascopically (through the belly button like Duke said). They put 4 or 5 small slits (1/2 to 1 inch) over your chest after they knock you out. They pump air through the slits so that they can blow you up like a balloon so they can manouever the tools. The procedure took all of an hour. The worst problem you'll have is the next day as the air migrates up to your shoulders while it is absorbed by your system. That hurt like heck so plan to take at least 1 day off work (although 2 would be better). Once the pain in your shoulders clears you'll be good to go. You can eat normally the next day including all the stuff that used to make you sick. Don't worry, it's not really that bad except for the pain in your shoulders. Advil (ibuprofen) should help with that. The slits healed in about 2 weeks with minor scars disappearing after 3 or 4 months. Good luck!!!

A man walks up to a woman in his office and tells her that her hair smells nice.

The woman immediately goes into her supervisor's office and tells him that she wants to file a sexual harassment suit and explains why.

The supervisor is puzzled by this and says, "What's wrong with the coworker telling you your hair smells nice?"

The woman replies, "He's a midget."

Three strangers strike up a conversation in the airport passenger lounge in Calgary, Alberta, while awaiting their respective flights. One is a native Indian from the Sarcee Reserve, another is a cowboy on his way to Lethbridge for a livestock auction. The third passenger is a fundamentalist Arab student, newly arrived at the University of Calgary from the Middle East.

Their discussion drifts to their diverse cultures. Soon, the two Albertans learn that the Arab is a devout, radical Muslim and the conversation falls into an uneasy lull. The cowboy leans back in his chair, crosses his boots on a magazine table and tips his big sweat-stained hat forward over his face. The wind outside is blowing tumbleweeds around, and the old windsock is flapping, but still no plane comes.

To break the silence, the Indian clears his throat and softly speaks: "At one time here, my people were many, but sadly, now we are few."

The Muslim student raises an eyebrow and leans forward: "Once my people were few," he sneers, "and now we are many. Why do you suppose that is?"

The Alberta cowboy shifts his toothpick to one side of his mouth and from the darkness beneath his Stetson says in a smooth drawl: "That's 'cause we ain't played Cowboys and Muslims yet . . . but I do believe it's a-comin'. . . "

As per your request, I tried it again Laz. Archiving seems to work fine for me. A stupid question but do you have attachments blocked on your e-mail address?

Hey Laz,

I just tried it because I didn't have a clue what you were talking about. It worked fine for me. I received the 20 messages I specified as an attachment to an e-mail. Perhaps your e-mail address needs to be updated?

Forgot to mention that I e-mailed the archive as an HTML page to my home address.

We've got Anonymo living up in the clouds. Not sure that's a plus. Make your own guess on that one.

We tend to say Klic's as in how many Klic's is it to Toronto. Although we do still use mileage when talking about how much gas mileage the car gets.

(maybe it will even delete some members, who knows)

 

like the GPL group

When the gpl members leave is when pigs fly.

 

word

 

... jackie is a GPL!!!! *looks at M2 who is readying a catapult *

 

...

 

HEY! I'm not GPL! Just because I so happen to live in Minnesota, doesn't make me a spam monster.

Doesn't that actually make you a popsicle at this time of the year???? LOL

Don't pay any attention to Mo's post count.

45% are what?

25% are eh?

The remaining 30% consist of nonsensical words strung together in random patterns.

Mo, the bunny made me do it. I swear. (runs away screaming maniacally)

I think he should fix that hole in his head first. I don't wanna get splattered by Fatty brains.

what is incd for?

incd comes with Nero and is an emulator that allows you to mount CD's so that you can treat them as a regular floppy disc. It often causes problems with installs so I've removed it from my system.
