Blocked. Must be berry,berry bad.

[CoastRaven]

"Web Chat" filtered for me too :-(

[James Trofe]

It says bunches of people are on, but no one's sayin' nothin'

[judi]

it isn't starting til 4 EST. 2 more minutes.

[James Trofe]

Ah. Ne'er mind.

[niblet]

i hope you're not suggesting i work. ahem.

[Olo Baggins of Bywater]

Wow, that one is a lot of trouble to get in. :-|

[pogo]

Judi - You sure about the time? Birmingham is CDT.

[judi]

yes, it's almost over.

[puppytoes]

that was exhausting.

[ArcticAl]

But fun

[djtonyb]

*staggers in, mops brow, collapses in a heap*

Good Lord, that was like speed-blogging!

[Dreaded Old Hag]

Whew, I think I need a cigarette, wink wink

[Steve]

Thanks Dave and Judi!

[James Trofe]

That was a fast hour.

[Patchy the Squirrel]

I just want to say, "Oh, SNAP!" For no reason.

[ArcticAl]

Can we beg Goddess Judi for a discussion room for 24 nights?

[ArcticAl]

the robot doesn't like the c*h*a*t word

[judi]

well, i'd love to, but the problem is, i don't know that we can do it
i on
the blog site, and the herald might not take kindly to suggesting an alternative site for ch @ tting, you know? i'll see if there's any way they can put a ch @ t room on here though.

[Lisa Bisa Fo Fisa]

Came late to the party, but it was fun to read anyway. All bloglits performed well and I learned many things. Two SNAPS up!

[puppytoes]

best running joke: "judi & earl" : D

[James Trofe]

Everyone could just get AIM and make a c h a t room there. It wouldn't be pretty, or very good, and everyone probably wouldn't be able to get AIM, but it would be free, and isn't that what really matters?

[AFKA tsktsk]

Gee, thanks for posting the transcript on the update, Judi. I just wasted about $150 of billable time reading it..."oh, SNAP!"

[The Sardonicynic]

great [email protected] with ya, Dave! Let's do it again sometime. like right after tooth surgery.

[JT]

Because I was at work--okay, because I was at work and my boss was watching me--I was unable to partake in the online discussion. I will therefore now ask a question that has really, really, really, REALLY puzzled me for quite some time:

Q: HOW COME ALMOST EVERY SINGLE POSTED ITEM IN THIS BLOG THAT COMES WITH A 'WARNING DO NOT OPEN AT WORK' LABEL ON IT IS PUT HERE BY JUDI???

I'm just curious.

[AFKA tsktsk]

*bows to the blog goddess Judi and begs forgiveness"

Yikes...after my 6:14 post I started to shut down computer, and about 800 copies of the "Dave Barry's Blog" screen began to cascade on my screen; they just kept on coming and coming. It took me 10 minutes to "X" them all out. Judi, I had no idea you guys had that kind of power...are you actually operating out of CTU???

Promise, I'll never do it (whatever it was) again...now can you please release me?

[The Sarcasticynic]

Here are some interesting stats about the event.

Most "[email protected]" awards:

puppytoes tied with the Moderator with 20 entries.
dread had 24, Steve had 27, Sarcasticynic 28, Sarah J 29, Bismuth came in with 33.
Our fave snake person judi had 49, Sam G had 66, and Higgy 70.
"Our Man Dave" had 97.
But the winner of the most "[email protected]?" Who else? James T with one hundred and ten entries.

[Eleanor]

*pouts in*

Both on the main link AND the update, all I got was a thing to register. Should I be taking this personally?

[southerngirl]

Hey El, ya wanna get personal together? ;)

I couldn't get to it either. :(

[slyeyes]

*returns from reading [email protected]*

Did everyone drink RedBull before posting? That was quite aerobic.

[Eleanor]

anytime s'girl, just name the time and place and I'll be there. :)

and thanks to Sarcasticynic for the URL. I just went and read everything. It seems that a good time was had by all.

[Sarah J]

by "register" it meant put in a *zip* code, year of birth and gender

[Sarah J]

After that just put in a screen name ( I put Sarah J :) and it was ready to go!

(It accidentally posted half way through)

That was fun!
Now that the [email protected]'s over, I remembered all of this stuff that I wanted to talk about like left handed woes and dogs.

I think it'd be great to have another [email protected], as soon as Dave recovers from this one.

[James Trofe]

I said the most but had the least to say.

[James Trofe]

No one responded most of the time either. :)

[pepe]

these are the times i wished i lived in the US, but i didn't want to give up on the $$$ being distributed to us by our government. (It makes a nice change from taxes.) However, it also means i gotta fork out 2 grand if i ever want to meet dave to get him to sign a book.
Demmit.

[Crash]

Oh no! You Di'nt!

[James Trofe]

Oh Snap!

[Bismuth]

Oh, SNIP!

[judi]

sarcasticynic, will you please remove that from your web site?

[The Sardonicynic]

judi, sorry, it was certainly not my intention to offend. I will remove it immediately.

[judi]

it's just that it was done for al.com; they deserve the traffic, and the advertisement for the event on saturday.... if you take it and repost it elsewhere, it's like ... well, i don't know. what's it like? :) anyway, thanks.

[daisymae]

Sorry I missed the main event. I was on a plane back to Ft. Lauderdale.

The bloglits did us proud. It was a hoot, like the blog on speed. However I didn't recognize quite a few of the handles...did you guys change your names?

[Higgy]

Some of us only come here when our conference calls get cancelled during the werk *twitch* day....

[Rick]

We are new and one of the only forums that will directly discuss the issue with being bored at work.

[Gamer]

I try not to get bored at work. I play some flash games on random sites like http://www.boreddaily.com. But I've had to learn to close the window quickly! LOL!

[R]

i find www.travian.co.uk is great for at work because it requires regular attention, but you cant play for hours at once... it plays best if u just check in every hour or so.

www.lost.eu/62955 is quite interesting too.

[twells]

I found this site not too long ago and it's pretty good for boring times.

[christie]

[Jack Coveney]
