Posted by: fivver | April 26, 2006 at 01:48 PM
This game is for really lonely researcher type people isn't it? When I play with my pets it is more along the lines of fetch. Not some sort of weird, passive agressive, lingering mother issues, secret desire to be eaten, strange type fantasy, dangling food, pet & media interaction type thing.
NTTAWWT - because to say anything else just wouldn't be pc.

Posted by: Bumble | July 20, 2007 at 10:32 AM
OK I think I see the problem. There is a ADWare program called, Trymedia that seems to be captured by a highjack program named EUniverse.
Everyone should do a scan with Ad-Aware or something to try and solve it.
Also, do androids have electric boogers?
Posted by: Alfred | July 20, 2007 at 01:03 PM
I'm not gonna guess about electric boogers, Alfred, but I'm thinkin' their electric sheep would have electric lice ... merely ... itchy ...

Posted by: Bumble | July 21, 2007 at 10:26 PM
Just finished the book. All I can say is Zombie Dumbledore fighting it out with Snape. I mean I saw it coming from the earlier parts of the book, but who was expecting such a strange twist.
Posted by: Alfred | July 21, 2007 at 11:04 PM
Alfred~ I just started! No posting spoilers on the Kilt! You should know better!
*beats Alfred with a wet noodle*
I guess I'm just going to have to stay off the computer till I'm done, eh? :-)

Alfred~ I'm going to assume that book seven comment was a joke on your part since it would just suck if the last book was that badly written.
But please, nothing else about it till we're all done. I just skimmed the comment at first; when I saw it was about the book, I quit reading. Don't scare me like that! ;-)
*pinches Alfred*
*goes back to reading*
Posted by: Bumble | July 22, 2007 at 09:24 AM
Yes, the comments aren't true. JK Rowling would never let Harry do such a thing, nor would she allow a Zombie Dumbledore.
I read a lot of books before my family and friends, I also happen to see a lot of movies before anyone else as well. The Harry Potter books are the one time I get the chance to actually do stuff like that. It is one of the more sad times for me to have this full knowledge on how stuff will happen and not be able to talk about it.
The Zombie Dumbledore and Harry Commits Suicide thing are actually pretend theories I had way before I read the book. So relax.
Posted by: Alfred | July 22, 2007 at 02:07 PM
... tho not actually that bad as ideas go, Alfred ... for "alternative" plot endings and such ... Dumbledore comin' back from the dead (with all the magic and stuff in the storyline, not a stretch at all) to help defeat a baddie, or Harry doin' a Kamikaze in order to save Hogwarts for all of the rest of them kids & their families ... disappointin' I s'pose, but a sad/feelgood resolution ...
Hey, even Superman died ... but then he came back to life ... that's part of the wonder of books ... fiction and fantasy are too enjoyable to (always) allow reality to interfere with our readin' pleasure ...

There's a BIG black dog eating waffles outside. I don't know where the dog came from, or why the guys in the apartment across the lawn have waffles on the ground next to their door.

You aren't missing much. And by your work, this includes the guy trying to steal your identity.
Posted by: Alfred | July 23, 2007 at 06:30 PM
I said that wrong.
I meant this, not offering up your name means that you won't have someone steal your identity later.
Posted by: Alfred | July 23, 2007 at 08:43 PM
Because of the er, mature, subject matter, the site asks you to confirm that you are old enough to be viewing it by clicking on a "Confirm Birth Date" button. You don't actually input any info about yourself, and, so far as I know, you don't need to register at Y0uTube to view their videos.
BTW, there's nothing raunchy to be seen, only suggestive. Whatever. On to other matters, like .... um ........ er ........ Look! Something shiny!

SarahJ- Those are some plasticy looking people. They all look like Brigham Young.
I can't remember, is July 24th when they left, or is it when they arrived in the Salt Lake Valley. My Great Great Grandfather came a little later. He was no one important. So much so that his diary was listed in the Ensign. My mother has the original diary. That was when I really started to study history, when I realized that I had ancestors who lived through it.
I still have work. Because the vast majority of Yakima is Catholic. They announce midnight mass in the local paper.
Meanie- How did you get the Javascript to work?
Posted by: Alfred | July 24, 2007 at 02:30 PM
Alfred, if you dig into it enough, you might learn some astounding things about what your ancestors lived through. And your descendants will likely find that the same is true when they dig into their ancestors.
I don't know what makes the Javascript work, but I embedded the code within the URL part of the standard HTML < a href ="URL" > with some text in here < /a > tags.
You can copy the code by right-clicking on the link in my earlier post and then clicking on "Copy shortcut".
Please promise that you will use this knowledge only for good. (You may define good however you like).
Posted by: Meanie the Blue | July 24, 2007 at 03:42 PM
I gnu whut you meant in your first post, Alfred, when I read it, even before the second post ... and despite the fact that I haven't been back here until now ...
Nah, the "prove your age" thingy is a very mild irk to me ... I mean ... if them little kids in Africa with the "free" computers can get on -- by, one assumes, "proving" their age -- it's a joke, at best, and actually perty pathetic ...
No, whenever I see sumthin' that resembles a "sign up" page, I'm usually gone ... it's gotta be sumthin' I really WANT (like a shoppin' site for huntin' and fishin' gear, or camera stuff ...) before I'll load myself down with yet another password and user ID name ...

Or perhaps you want these fish.
Fishing humour. Weird stuff.
Posted by: Alfred | July 24, 2007 at 11:26 PM
To be honest the whole idea of comparing fishing to women is pretty bad. Certainly I would like a nice bass, but I would also like a wrather large sturgeon as well. I would toss it back of course. Something as old as the dinosaurs should be respected.
Then we realize that I like the deep sea, but small streams are fun as well. Unless attacked by something that happens to want what I am fishing for.
Or far worse, getting killed by what I caught. A harpoon in the belly does not describe my love life.
Nor does trying to catch salmon in the correct season, but attempting to keep my camp clean for fear of bear attacks.
Hunters make the entire thing seem insane. Once while fishing I was fired at by some (Idiots) people that some how thought we were deer. My Dad nearly got killed. Is that what a love life is like?
Who on earth made up these strange rules?

Hey, Cyn - what's shakin'?
Alfred, you reminded me of George C@rlin's old routine where he examined the suggestive implications of certain advertising slogans. The one you brought to mind was "I'd walk a mile for a C@mel". Generally speaking, though, I make it a policy to not compare women to fish or fishing. It leads to extremely negative associations, and one of those two groups tends to get very offended.
So long, and thanks .....

I'm appreciative of your insights, Alfred ... yup, there's some really STOOPID ones out there who carry firearms and (presumably) can purchase a license to exhibit that dumbness ...
Not that it would be NE comfort, but most hunters I know have been in similar circumstances their ownselfs ... endangered by other hunters who mess up the day ...
IMHO, there's nuthin' quite like the sound of a bullet whirrin' past, close enuf to hear the variations and nuances thereof, to completely capture one's attention at that moment ... merely sayin' ...
Posted by: OtheU(manity) | July 25, 2007 at 02:18 PM
Yeah, nothing ruins a good day of fishing like being shot at. I hunted before that day, and after. But to be honest, I really disliked it. It took me a while to trust Gun lovers again. And even then, I have some weariness to them.
Knife makers are cool though.
I keep waiting for my friend to finish the Hitchhikers Guide series so I can send him the video of the Dolphins singing.
I believe the fish would be insulted. I mean look at women, they can't even breath underwater. How can they live like that?
I got the Kilt to Rumble!!!
