Turn your back on this thread for a milli-second to set yourself up on Facebook and VOOMPA and these opportunists with pretentions to be LAST spring out of the woodwork.
Sheesh.
Let it be hereby known that despite now maintaining a presence elsewhere, I am still going to be LAST here.
LAST! LASTIDDY LAST LAST LAST!
Posted by: ¿wysiwyg? (MBE-LP) | August 06, 2009 at 04:33 AM
....and, having now said that, it is time to turn our attention to a particular pretender to the LAST throne.
This individual has assumed various disguises over time in his efforts to sneak in after everyone else.
He has battled myself and a wide range of others in being LAST, even unto actually breaking the thread for quite a period of time in a vain attempt to dissuade us from pursuing our illustrious goal.
Along the way he brought much delight and intellect to our musings here, and for that I appreciate his commaraderie in this quest, albeit that he will be ultimately dissapointed in the outcome.
Yes fellow LASTers, I raise a glass to the thread's robot, our own Marvin, whose birthday is happening about now, plus or minus the ever present time difference.
Join me now as we recite the customary wassail on such occassions:
Happy birthday to you,
Happy birthday to you,
Happy BIRTHDAY dear Maaaaaarrrrrrrvin (the Parnoid Robot),
Happy birthday to you!
Have a good one!
Wys
P.S. Sorry, you're not LAST. But I know that's just for now.
Posted by: ¿wysiwyg? (MBE-LP) | August 06, 2009 at 04:47 AM
wys, you will neither here nor there nor anywhere (one fish two fish red fish blue fish, i do not like green eggs and ham) be LAST
as i am too lazy to check the LAST page prior to this, i don't know if i've already wished our resident android a HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
so consider it done, now, and consider me LAST
which i am
Posted by: southerngirl (mbe lp) | August 10, 2009 at 12:00 AM
you sure were last, SG!
Happy Birthday, dear Neo!
Happy Birthday, Marvin|PA!
Posted by: cyn (mbe lp) | August 10, 2009 at 06:38 PM
...and cyn was LAST, for a flicker of time.
Posted by: ¿wysiwyg? (MBE-LP) | August 10, 2009 at 10:56 PM
but she wasn't the LAST LAST
Posted by: southerngirl (mbe lp) | August 13, 2009 at 05:39 PM
I have it on good authority that cyn can't be LAST at the moment because of a TypeKey screwup.
Which means, if I can successfully knobble SG, I'll have the thread to myself.
Posted by: ¿wysiwyg? (MBE-LP) | August 14, 2009 at 05:14 PM
Knobble?! ... sounds kinky. is it anything like a lasting kniss?
Posted by: cyn (mbe lp) | August 14, 2009 at 06:11 PM
eek! it posted.
Loving best wishes to the
Android on the occasion of his
Supercalifragilistic
Terrific Birthday!
*leaves refreshments*
Posted by: cyn (mbe lp) | August 14, 2009 at 06:18 PM
LMAO! That's what you get for trusting that technology will always fail you. It sometimes works just when you don't want it to.
And I gather our Android is off having his teeth rearranged. No news of him in the LAST few days, but it doesn't sounds good.
Posted by: ¿wysiwyg? (MBE-LP) | August 14, 2009 at 06:53 PM
androids have teeth?
(i'm not feeling particularly witty at the moment, so i'll just say...LAST)
Posted by: southerngirl (mbe lp) | August 15, 2009 at 02:36 PM
it wouLd appeAr that they do, huh? ..have teeth. it's so Sad that They don't seem to have .. y'know .. um, ..fruits.
Posted by: cyn (mbe lp) | August 15, 2009 at 06:37 PM
happy birthday marvin, let your cerebrations last as long as time itself!
Posted by: insomniac | August 17, 2009 at 11:43 AM
LAST!
Just sayin'
Posted by: ¿wysiwyg? (MBE-LP) | August 26, 2009 at 03:13 AM
wys, wys, wys...
you didn't really think that you'd be LAST, did you?
after that prior unsuccessful attempt at "knobbling" me, you should have known better
LAST
;p
Posted by: southerngirl (mbe lp) | August 28, 2009 at 01:01 PM
Knobble you?
Moi?!?
Mais non! Knibble perhaps....
DERNIER! (as the French would say)
Posted by: ¿wysiwyg? (MBE-LP) | August 31, 2009 at 02:43 AM
today i thought i would be LAST
under a certain circumstance in so-called "real life"
aLAS(T), it was not to be
so i shall take comfort in the knowledge that at LeAST i can be LAST, here
Posted by: southerngirl (mbe lp) | September 02, 2009 at 10:31 PM
aLAS(T) it was not be so for long....
Posted by: ¿wysiwyg? (MBE-LP) | September 15, 2009 at 02:44 AM
But at LAST you can join us in song...
Posted by: Marvin | Paranoid Android MBE-LP | September 15, 2009 at 11:54 AM
...perhaps this one: LAST Song Ever?
Posted by: ¿wysiwyg? (MBE-LP) | September 16, 2009 at 10:27 PM
Wys missed the LAST rhyme: Was it too clever?
Posted by: Marvin | Paranoid Android mbe-lp | September 20, 2009 at 01:33 AM
Probably not. CRS has me missing a lot of things these days.
But its been a while since we LAST saw Dave D. I wonder what he's up to?
Posted by: ¿wysiwyg? (MBE-LP) | September 20, 2009 at 07:54 PM
in summary:
aLAS(T) it was not be so for long....
But at LAST you can join us in song...
...perhaps this one: LAST Song Ever?
Wys missed the LAST rhyme: Was it too clever?
so much for the sing-along!

Posted by: ¿wysiwyg? (MBE-LP) | September 22, 2009 at 10:44 PM
wys, you may be feeling old, whomever that may be, but you still aren't LAST
Posted by: southerngirl (mbe lp) | September 23, 2009 at 06:35 PM
What, me worry? LAST....
Posted by: Dave D. MBE-LP | September 25, 2009 at 12:26 PM
I haven't been around for quite some time. What the heck is the green flower thingee?
Posted by: Dave D. MBE-LP | September 25, 2009 at 12:27 PM
It's gone now - oh well - LAST.
Posted by: Dave D. MBE-LP | September 25, 2009 at 12:28 PM
oh!
dave, you saw that green flower thingy too?!?
i saw it when i posted my LAST comment, but then...when my LAST post showed up here, it was gone
huh
no matter, i'm still LASTer than you ;p
Posted by: southerngirl (mbe lp) | September 28, 2009 at 05:39 AM
and now it's a blue flower thingy, but i'm still LAST
Posted by: southerngirl (mbe lp) | September 28, 2009 at 05:40 AM
No you're not - LAST.
Posted by: Dave D. MBE-LP | September 29, 2009 at 04:33 AM
I agree with both of you. You're both not LAST.
Glad that's settled.
Posted by: Marvin | Paranoid Android MBE-LP | September 29, 2009 at 06:40 AM
Say what? Glad to see the MBE LP honorific is still alive and well. I knew it would LAST.
Posted by: Dave D. MBE-LP | September 29, 2009 at 09:38 PM
I usually read it as "mmm-belp." It sounds like a noise made after a hearty and delicious meal.
Posted by: Marvin | Paranoid Android MBE-LP | October 09, 2009 at 03:52 PM
Well, that LAST set of comments are all very well, but we're missing the point here - *I'M* LAST.
Posted by: ¿wysiwyg? (MBE-LP) | October 18, 2009 at 06:47 PM
sorry, but no
LASTer LASTer LASTer
Posted by: southerngirl (mbe lp) | October 21, 2009 at 06:30 PM
'mmm-belp' was that annoying song by hanson?
Posted by: insomniac | October 23, 2009 at 12:05 AM
ALL Hanson songs were annoying if I recall correctly.
And sorry SG: LASTest LASTest LASTest!
Posted by: ¿wysiwyg? (MBE-LP) | October 23, 2009 at 12:59 AM

you may be delusional, but you're not LAST

I'm rubber and you're glue.
Whatever you said last

Posted by: insomniac | November 26, 2009 at 12:17 PM
*rips off the LAST that is stuck on SG, and slaps it on his own chest*
Now we're clear about who's sticking to being LAST, let me also wish all my Mercan friends a happy Thanksgiving! Eat lots. Sleep. Drive safe!
Posted by: ¿wysiwyg? (MBE-LP) | November 26, 2009 at 10:29 PM

You were last for all of three minutes! Better luck next time.

*snork at Marv!*
That was pretty effective, stalking her post at 3am in the morning like that.
Still, doesn't matter because *I'M* LAST again!
Posted by: ¿wysiwyg? (MBE-LP) | December 10, 2009 at 08:02 PM

I had some LAST minute catching up to do for the LAST LAST of this LAST decade. But now we can all be resolved at LAST and lay this matter to rest.
LAST
Posted by: Marvin | Paranoid Android mbe-lp | December 31, 2009 at 11:59 PM
(still LAST)
Posted by: Marvin | Paranoid Android mbe-lp | January 01, 2010 at 12:00 AM
Marvin lasted from the last decade into the current. Too bad I had to come along so his record didn't last.
Posted by: neophyte | January 01, 2010 at 09:08 PM
Well, of course, there is still the whole debate about when the next decade (like the new Millenium) actually starts - is it 2010 or 2011?
Of course at this point, having been beaten to the punch for 2010, I'll be arguing that we haven't seen the LAST of the decade for another 11 and a bit months...
Posted by: ¿wysiwyg? (MBE-LP) | January 04, 2010 at 07:07 PM
I call bull on that LAST argument, wys. There's no way the new decade starts in 2011. That's like turning 30 and saying it's part of your 20's. As much as you want it to be true, that decade is over.
Posted by: Marvin | Paranoid Android mbe-lp | January 05, 2010 at 05:40 AM
you people can argue over which decade it is all you want
i'm still LAST
Posted by: southerngirl (mbe-lp) | January 06, 2010 at 06:35 PM
...or you *were*, I can argue AND be LAST at the same time!
However, the problem for me, Marv, is that my heart really isn't behind the argument. As the project manager for Y2K for a major Federal Government Department, I'm here to tell you that all the world's computers knew the new millenium started on 01/01/00, not 01/01/01. And there were WAY more computers than people that thought it started on 01/01/01.
Posted by: ¿wysiwyg? (MBE-LP) | January 07, 2010 at 10:17 PM
hmmmm...LAST time i was here i was LAST, but wys snuck in and tried to claim the LAST title
unsuccessfully, as i am, again, LAST
*turns on the radio and sneaks back out*
Posted by: southerngirl (mbe-lp) | January 14, 2010 at 03:12 PM

We keep getting email from people, some of them irate, who want this blog to fix the clock, because apparently this blog is off by an hour. In response, we would like to say that: (1) We don't know how to fix the damn clock, and (2) If you are relying on this blog for the accurate time, or anything else that involves accuracy, then you are on the wrong blog. This blog is about issues. Thank you.
The time at the tone is eleventeen hundred hours centigrade. BEEP.
