Editor’s Note: We’re currently having issues with Youtube, so we’ve uploaded our videos onto Viddler instead for now while the issue with Youtube is being resolved.
I was just trying to generate a string of comments, but I also admit I had no idea Kegel exercises could be done by guys. I have been grunting and straining at my computer chair for over 10 minutes with no satisfactory improvement. I guess it takes time…
Don’t you just want to shake people who complain about the (normal everyday) weather where they live, and scream, “GO ELSEWHERE THEN!”? I hate that. Don’t like it here? MOVE.

YAAARRRRRGGGH!!!!

Actually, I don’t consider it summer yet. Our weather has been freakishly cool. I’m looking forward to some summer weather. But when it does come, there will be the “Oh my gawd, can you believe this humidity? It’s just stifling, isn’t it? It’s not the heat, really, it’s…” YYAAAAAHHH!!!!
*stab! stab! stab!*

I live somewhere where there is no weather to speak of, so I base my seasons on the holidays. We just celebrated our Independence Day, so it must be summer.
The ones we’re expecting are supposed to be pretty big. Possible tornadoes. Hail. Torrential rain. I will probably hide in the buildings central stairwell.
Yeah, that can be scary in a big building. When the town siren goes off, we go down to the basement of our building and do shadow puppets on the wall with the flashlight for my son. He has a good time.
I have floor to ceiling wall to wall windows. And I’m in a corner unit. My living room has two walls of windows.
It might be said I live in a glass house, albeit with normal interior walls.
Sounds nice. I love home designs that bring the outdoors indoors, or blur the lines between inside and outside. That’s rare in New England, it’s mostly colonials with double-hung windows. But, I have the rare California-style house. It has 15-ft tall windows, and I love it. Unfortunately, they are a menace to birds, we get multiple bird strikes every day.
The house I used to live in (in VT) had tall windows. We had bird shapes made out of dark tint on the upper part of the window to scare the birds away from the window. I don’t know that it actually worked though.
I live on the 21st floor of a high-rise. It’s cool when you’re standing back from the windows, you can pretend that you’re on a cruise ship, looking out over the water.
You can fix the bird issue by keeping blinds down but opened.
*Sigh* Windows… If only! The cost of living and schooling here leaves me living in a (really very nice and well designed, but somewhat dark) basement suite. My windows open onto ground level.
I definitely won’t. Besides the obvious error in displaying dildos on one’s windowsill, my kitties won’t permit anything on the windowsills besides their own behinds.
We’re not allowed in this silly town. We have a bunch of really pretty glass ones I wanted to make a window display with at our new store… But no go. People protested.
Oooh, that’s beautiful country though. I grew up just south of you, spent almost my entire life (until recently) in Washington state. Eastern and western, both.
It is gorgeous. Aesthetically. From the outside. I’ve never been in a more cliquey place though, with more snobby people who have no reason to be snobby.
Cliquey? BC? Have you ever been to Boston? My God, it’s more cliquey than high school. It’s also defined by ethnic groups. I tend to get labelled as a “left coaster”. It’s really hard to meet people and make friends out here.
Not BC in general. Just Kelowna and “West Kelowna”. I’ve found the rest of the province to be very friendly. Especially anywhere north of Victoria on Vancouver Island.
I hate not being able to make friends in a place.
*Makes note never to move to Boston*
A friend had that problem with the birds. He fixed it by getting a couple of kites. These were the circular kind with long streamers. He hung them in front of the windows and the bird strikes stopped. Colorful too.
Wow. That bad? The storms heading our way look nasty, but no tornado warnings. Just a powerful bank of thunderstorms, currently in western MA and Connecticut.
It’s from BBC America news. This place was also on Dirty Jobs. It’s where the leftovers and plate scrapings from Las Vegas restaurants go to be turned into pig slop. It’s used as an example of a good reuse of waste — but the guy who runs the place is hysterical. The guy in this video is a BBC commentator.
I thought this was one of my funniest comment ever. You know, being an optimist, seeing the dump truck as half full, rather than half empty, etc… Am I not as funny as I thought I am?
ZA, I feel your pain!! I have never had anything more vile than a Jack-In-The-Box taco!!! It makes 2-girls-1-cup sound appealing!!
Taco Bell actually isn’t bad.
The restaurant guantanteed to give me the runs is Steak & Shake. Everytime I have eaten there (my kids liked it) I left feeling ill and regretted it most of the next day …
I absolutely ADORE Steak N’ Shake!!! I grew up in St. Louis and there are roughly 300 there. I’m only exagerating a little. Cheese fries. The best thing on the menu. I would eat those every day if I could. Alas, the closest Steak N’ Shake is waaaaaaaaaaaayyyy out in the burbs. That and I would weigh about 300 pounds if I did. *pouts*
Alright, is there like a guide to smileys in this place?
Sometimes i post something that would go great with a smiley but i don’t know how to and come off as a bit of a jerk.
Help a noob?
Hi Bearly, I forgot my underwear in your room here, so I just need to grab them and…
Wait a minute… is that an orange-and-black striped tail poking out from under the bed?!?!
Actually, it’s for the other end. It’s slop, not “messes”. Great if you want pigs licking you clean, not so great if you just want to be clean to begin with.
Firstly, it’s called “2 girls 1 cup”. And secondly, I have no idea whatsoever as to what you are referring to! Never heard of it!

I think I could win such a contest, but at the same time completely alienate myself from all FBers, which is just not a risk I’d be willing to take! So no. Not a good idea.
Somehow, I suspect you (or Technicolor, or GCF) would likely be strong contenders at the very least. And I’m not about to call your bluff, so I guess we shall never know!!
That’s what most newbie ignorant trolls think. The moderators will still block you no matter how many times you reset your IP. It’s not that hard. The last one to think he was invincible was nuked off the face of the blog. Don’t push your luck.
*taunts the troll, hoping to get him banned like the last one*
.
No, go ahead. Push it. Push your luck. You’re smarter than everyone else in the world, which is why you’re here being a troll on a blog about failing. No one can catch you, let alone outsmart you. You’re invincible! DO IT!
I am eternally glad that I never actually watched it. I was warned, which was a courtesy many who were exposed never got. Once you know, you don’t need to watch.
I just learned about it on Failblog a month or so ago (oh, the education one gets here!). And I have zero intention of ever watching it, thankyouverymuch.
(Hi chan!)
My cousin has two bitches that eat poo. One is a Great Dane and the other is a Bulldog. I can arrange a show if you would like, it will cost you though.
Oh, Michael Jackson! Sorry, I just never refer to him that way. It’s a very controversial subject. I personally loved Michael Jackson. It is sad that he may have abused and mistreated children, and he did do some terribly shocking things with his own, but before all that, he was the king of pop. How many people can say that? He revolutionized the music world. IDK, he’s still on my good list.
I have that debate with people quite often: Do you separate the artist’s personal life from the art? I hate it when people deny themselves (and worse, others) the pleasure of the artist’s work because they can’t keep the person and the art separate. I suppose the artist will blur the line sometimes (Sinéad O’Connor on SNL many years ago comes to mind), but it’s sad and sometimes very dangerous.
Way back, a classmate in high school (redneck, cowboy boots, cowboy hat, Lee jeans, can of Copenhagen chew in the back pocket, the whole stereotypical bit) was a huge fan of a country singer (the name escapes me). Then the country singer came out of the closet as a lesbian, and he threw away all her music.
WTF?!
Although it’s never been proven, the most tragic example I’m aware of is Tchaikovsky committing suicide as the honorable way out of having to admit being homosexual, although he also had been p!ssing off the Russian royalty, so they might have gotten to him soon anyway.
MRN, an artist’s personal views and opinions rarely affect the way I perceive their art. However, if I discover the artist to be mean-spirited or otherwise an asshat, I find that changes the way I view their work. That doesn’t always translate into a complete denial of enjoyment. Discovering the artist is unintelligent can also have an affect, but that situation is more complicated.
You mean like how in a parallel universe I used to find Jessica Simpson totally hot – until I learned she was an r-tard and now I just find her repulsive?
And on the other hand, my finding out the Maynard James Keenan is a total jerk and has a terribly inflated ego did not alter my worship of his music in the least.
*Listens to Tool and worships*
My son was a very fussy baby. Most babies loooove car rides, my son hated them with a passion. Screamed the entire time we were in the car. I was ecstatic when I found the solution. The black album. It calmed him down every time. Awesome.
Sweet!!
My sister could only get her firstborn to sleep by driving him around the block. He would kick, fuss and scream until she started the car and be asleep half a block away.
.
*checks the hoard*
.
Actually no, Cliff was here but would have nothing to do with moonwalking. Go figure.
No need to apologize Abstract, actually I probably should though. I meant it lightheartedly, not as an insult to the King of Pop in any way. Hell, he’s been giving the zombie hoard dance lessons!
ativan, ativan, jesus, god, ativan in your general direction!!! ok, give me some now! I have been trying to post a funny comment and it won’t let me…. oh, I took too much.
An open-bed truck picks up a load of liquified pig slop. It’s been cooked, so it’s very hot and steamy. It looks absolutely disgusting. The guy pulls up in the truck, hits the brakes, and half the load washes up in a wave over the cab of the truck.
He constantly tells jokes while playing poker, which sometimes disrupts the game. They tell him, “Ante, Mike Rowe…be a li’l resistant with the infectious laughter.”
*tries this on his Mac at work*
*doesn’t understand what it’s supposed to do*
*doesn’t recognize any difference afterward*
*gives up trying*
*wonders if it would work on the AIX server*
The way to mess up a REAL operating system is to …
.
cd slash enter
rm -r splat enter

It works best when you reboot afterward.

*pities the poor fool who tries that without a good backup handy*
*pity is what you feel when you’re laughing, right??*
Today will be spent configuring, downloading, installing, and trying not to tear out my hair. But I have a shiny new laptop! The service center declared my old one utterly defunct and so gave me a new one.
I can’t really complain. My old one was two years old and this one is much, much better. And I didn’t have to pay for it. I’m just a little sad because all my photos and emails were on the old one, and they can’t save them for me.
Suggest away! I’d been using the Windows Mail client, which is where I’d stored all my emails. I have a gmail account, but I don’t really use it that much. I may change that.
I do, indeed, have a backup, so most of my photos are saved! Yay!
With an IMAP account, a copy of all your email, including filed mail, can stay on the server, and a duplicate local copy is kept in sync. If your vendor supports it and will provide adequate storage space, you should ask them for instructions for setting up your email account and email client for IMAP access.
The alternative would be to use the Web mail client full-time and forego using a local client.
Microsoft email clients don’t handle IMAP all that well in my experience. Have you had much luck with this?
Also, there’s the address book that requires backup. I hate having different address books… one for webmail, one for Outlook, one for Windows Mail, etc. MS really doesn’t handle distributed computing well.
That’s because you’re much smarter than I am!
Seriously, I would love to find a good solid multi-platform environment that allows me to consolidate all my email accounts and address books, and access them from anywhere. Webmail is a bit of a pain in the ass, I’m still looking for that perfect solution! My work uses Exchange server, and they do have IMAP enabled, so perhaps I should try a single IMAP client.
What client do you use AA?
Brewski, if you find an answer to this problem, PLEEEEASE let me know!!! I juggle about four different email addresses and contact lists, and I’d love to consolidate them in one place that I could access from anywhere. I like the Windows Mail client because I can organize all my email accounts and create rules and folders and all that, but I can only access it from my computer. Hmph.
Also, I’ve lost your last email. Could you resend, please? Tanks.
I have to say, despite everything, this is a NICE computer. I think I came out ahead in this deal.
I use a Mac at home, so I use Mail.app and access IMAP enabled accounts…it works a treat. I used to have several email accounts, but not anymore. Lately I’ve just been living in Web mail, though. I use Web mail for accessing the work account.
IMAP is the answer, Dragon, but to maintain redundant storage (server and local), you’ll have to keep separate folders for each account, i.e., you won’t have one consolidated folder list that is fed from multiple accounts.
I have separate folders for all my accounts anyway…I like keeping things organized like that. SOME people even have their very own folders, and I just create rules to have the emails delivered right to that folder.
Not to sound like a pompous ass, but is a usb out of the question. It still seems a foolproof way to keep all emails and contacts clientized, folderized and any other ized word you want to keep in order. I have my 2 accounts, my hotmail (useless) and my gmail contacts as 2 separate folders which I zipped for space saving. Not even have a gig, there about 112mb for it.
I think we still have a zip drive at my place. It belongs to my mother. The external hard drive was dropped by my step-father. We still remind him of that every once in a while. I keep waiting for them to take it in and try to recover the data on it. 250 gigs gone. My cookbook was on that!!
Whew! Everything is pretty much back to the way I like it.
Fortunately, I do have an external hard drive, so I was able to restore most everything. I’m absolutely fanatical about backing up my books and manuscripts, so there’s no chance of losing those. It was only the emails I lost.
*flops down on the couch and looks around for a drinkie*
Sorry, yes dumb has been used as stupid for a few hundred years now! I just like to cause mischief! If you’re interested; it came into common use in America for meaning stupid sometime in the late 18th early 19th century. Probably due to the large amount of German pilgrims and the similarity to dumm, before that it only meant mute.
*tries it in order to gloat*
*discovers KVD is right – it’s removed entirely*
.
Damn, bummer. It was pretty gross, in a “what were they thinking” kind of way.
I don`t know if this has been mentioned before but this also happened on Dirty Jobs, with Mike Rowe…I mean, how many shows are there about this stuff?:)
Yes ctrl-F5 clears my cache. When I 1st saw him he was at the bottom of my laptop screen and was having that white haze effect. I would keep him at least for awhile.
We often just wait until ours falls asleep all by herself wherever she happens to crash. Every once in a while, she’ll ask to be put to bed, but that’s rare.
She has a little foam foldout couch/bed thing which is often her crashing spot downstairs (if she’s not sprawled across my recliner). Otherwise, she’s usually on the upstairs couch. Luckily, I just need to give her a little shake, say “Upsie-daisy — time for bed,” and she’ll stand up so I can pick her up & carry her to bed. Picking her up as dead weight from the floor isn’t as easy as it used to be (now 5 years old & somewhere around 40lbs).
I do lift with my legs rather than my back as I’ve had back problems (not major, but still painful) — but picking up 40lbs of sleeping child ain’t easy no matter how well you do it.
Failblog psychic powers yet again! I predicted this fail in the prior fail!!
ode to the psychic commentor
Let’s see if you want to steal that truck now LCB!!
Was is shiny before?
*Whispering voice*
If you polish it, she will come…
*wax on*
*wax off*
Help I’ve fallen and I can’t get up
I am Mr. Ed fan
I am Andreas
Did he die?
No, but I did after reading your inane comment. Thanks.
Has the killing finally stopped
It will never stop.
Nothing stops – except the truck.
the truck… and your mom
are they dead?
I won’t stop till I get enough.
Come on, make the truck stop
Hit the brakes and you’ll get enough
Gettin’ the Jackson 5 reference … FAIL.
Getting a Jackson 5 reference would be a fail indeed. Don’t stop till you get enough is from Off the Wall, MJ’s first solo album.
Also, the Jackson’s had dropped the 5 when they moved to CBS records.
EWWWWWWW!!!!!!
A truck full of ick!
His brakes feel a bit sloppy.
He flooded the engine.
And he fouled the spark plugs.
Looks like his timing was off.
Well, the choke is working.
He’s going to have trouble with the cats later on.
Should have included (catalytic converters) ^
The suspension feels …. squishy.
…
CLEAN UP ISLE 2!
I think he was too busy eating his watch
What makes you think a pig slop driver who slams on the brakes can’t read the instructions for his watch telling him not to eat it?
???
Oh, uh …
That’s odd because he just had his fluids topped off.
His brakes have been squealing ever since.
I don’t have sound, did they explain exactly what the ick was?
Pig slop.
I have a question,
What do people mean when they write *sqeeeze*
Hug. An affectionate greeting.
Oh, I thought it was a call for Kegel exercising. I was always confused when guys participated.
The failblog education continues…
*whispers*
Boys can do Kegels to.
I was going to say something, but figured if they knew, they might want an explanation.
Anyone want to partner practice?
It’s actually a skill that can be quite helpful to know for males, especially if you plan for a all night excursion.
Lol… you dog you.
Tosses an ‘o’ up there in my post.
Can you explain that to me Aiki?
I can show you.
*leans in to see Aiki exercise*
*gets too close*
*gets wanged in the eye*
Ow!
How else can you mark improvement due to the exercises except before and after comparisons?
“Arrrrr,” one eyed Jenny says “There she blows!”
I thought getting wanged in the eye was the exclusive province of bukkake stars and Elton John?
I was just trying to generate a string of comments, but I also admit I had no idea Kegel exercises could be done by guys. I have been grunting and straining at my computer chair for over 10 minutes with no satisfactory improvement. I guess it takes time…
It was inedible for humans and was boiled to make slop for pigs. The really disturbing part is it looked like it was meat of some sort.
Yuck. Thanks for the info.
*squeeze*
*squeeze*
Ready for that storm they keep saying is on it’s way?
I like a good storm, I just hope it waits until after rush hour.
Great to see you two! *squeezes*
We have storms on the way, too, supposedly. But that can’t possibly be the same system, can it??
Approximately where are you again? It’s possible.
Brewski’s near Boston. He’s waiting for the storm that’s going through CT right now.
Ah, yeah, those would be the ones that came through here Saturday.
I’m right in the middle of you guys, and having a beautiful, 75° sunny day!
*squeezes friends*
HOT and sunny. At least I live in the desert and it’s not a humid hot.
*will go postal on the first person this summer who says “It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity!” *
Don’t you just want to shake people who complain about the (normal everyday) weather where they live, and scream, “GO ELSEWHERE THEN!”? I hate that. Don’t like it here? MOVE.
It’s not the heat. It’s the humidity.
I like this package to go to my house please.
*hands over a big box*
What summer, Brewski? It hasn’t been 90 degrees in Ct since April.

I think the storms you are expecting are the ones that ruined our 4th of July parade.
The ones we’re expecting are supposed to be pretty big. Possible tornadoes. Hail. Torrential rain. I will probably hide in the buildings central stairwell.
Yeah, that can be scary in a big building. When the town siren goes off, we go down to the basement of our building and do shadow puppets on the wall with the flashlight for my son. He has a good time.
“Look son, here’s a starfish! And now… well… I guess that’s a starfish too!”
*snork*
I snorked out loud at my desk and had to quickly Alt-Tab when my boss looked at me.
I have floor to ceiling wall to wall windows. And I’m in a corner unit. My living room has two walls of windows.
It might be said I live in a glass house, albeit with normal interior walls.
Sounds nice. I love home designs that bring the outdoors indoors, or blur the lines between inside and outside. That’s rare in New England, it’s mostly colonials with double-hung windows. But, I have the rare California-style house. It has 15-ft tall windows, and I love it. Unfortunately, they are a menace to birds, we get multiple bird strikes every day.
The house I used to live in (in VT) had tall windows. We had bird shapes made out of dark tint on the upper part of the window to scare the birds away from the window. I don’t know that it actually worked though.
I live on the 21st floor of a high-rise. It’s cool when you’re standing back from the windows, you can pretend that you’re on a cruise ship, looking out over the water.
You can fix the bird issue by keeping blinds down but opened.
*Sigh* Windows… If only! The cost of living and schooling here leaves me living in a (really very nice and well designed, but somewhat dark) basement suite. My windows open onto ground level.
Don’t set any dildos on your windowsill chan. They might end up on Google Street View.
I definitely won’t.
Besides the obvious error in displaying dildos on one’s windowsill, my kitties won’t permit anything on the windowsills besides their own behinds.
When is “Don’t set any dildos on your windowsill” ever really bad advice?
When your an adult entertainment shop.
We’re not allowed in this silly town. We have a bunch of really pretty glass ones I wanted to make a window display with at our new store… But no go. People protested.
That could have been really pretty!! lol
How big is your town? Are you on aiki’s map?
Canada, B.C if I’m not mistaken. Or am I thinking of someone else?
Indeed I am. Kelowna, BC. Roughly 110,000 people. So not tiny. Just backwards-minded.
Oooh, that’s beautiful country though. I grew up just south of you, spent almost my entire life (until recently) in Washington state. Eastern and western, both.
It is gorgeous. Aesthetically. From the outside. I’ve never been in a more cliquey place though, with more snobby people who have no reason to be snobby.

Mike Rowe did pretty much the same thing with the exact same truck, too.
One might even suppose this BBC chap was deliberately re-enacting that bit from Dirty Jobs.
Why is that disturbing? Pigs are omnivores.
Yes they did, in fact. It was slop being sent to feed the pigs.
I love the 6,7,8,9 succession of our comments. All one minute apart, and all redundant by the end.
Well, half full anyway.
That was a “good old” truck.
*Takes a stick and writes “wash me” on the windscreen*
Always the optimist.
Don’t get all sloppy on me now Fluffy.
I thought this was one of my funniest comment ever. You know, being an optimist, seeing the dump truck as half full, rather than half empty, etc… Am I not as funny as I thought I am?
You’re funny, fluffy and sloppy. You have it all!
I chuckled, fluff.
Wasn’t this on dirty jobs, before?
Yes it was….exactly same thing happened to Mike….the truck was a lot dirtier though. Maybe a different place.
Though in all fairness, Mike didn’t manage to get anywhere near as much of the slop into the driver’s compartment.

Taco Bell is Failure to me. Although I like going to the Kfc, Pizza Hut, Taco Bell threesomes.
BTW does anyone like Chipotle’s? Y’all made me hungry.
Sure Chipotle’s is pretty good, but I prefer the questionable looking mexican kitchens that are named things like El Toro, or El Maguey.
I am ecstatic; we finally got a Chipotle in my home town. Ever since college I have been addicted to their burritos.
The rumor is that we’re getting a Chipotle next door to work sometime soon. I’m excited!
The restaurant guantanteed to give me the runs is Steak & Shake. Everytime I have eaten there (my kids liked it) I left feeling ill and regretted it most of the next day …
You can always blame me. People take one look at me and they expect there to be a bad stink.
Which is why i wait for the Febreze Zombie Apocalypse.
I absolutely ADORE Steak N’ Shake!!! I grew up in St. Louis and there are roughly 300 there. I’m only exagerating a little. Cheese fries. The best thing on the menu. I would eat those every day if I could. Alas, the closest Steak N’ Shake is waaaaaaaaaaaayyyy out in the burbs. That and I would weigh about 300 pounds if I did. *pouts*
Crap. Exaggerating even.
Pink playdough chalupa….

There are pizza places around here that use “cheese” that I find highly questionable.

What exactly did they load? It looked like vomit.
The finest models were asked to vomit into the truck.
Models and larks. Finest vomit.
Put some parsley on that and serve with Red wine.
It was a wave of nausea.
I’ll skip surfing that wave, thenkew!
*Missed the wave by waiting in IUL’s room*

You two should get a room.
Oh wait… While at least stay in your room.
Good idea!

Hey, the show isn’t free. Either pay up, or wait in the hall.

Sorry ZA. I’m only for IUL and Velvet, and Ms. B… am I missing anyone?
So I guess licking me yesterday meant nothing to you?
It meant a lot to me! And aiki too I’m sure!
*licks Bearly again*
Hehe! It tickles!
I thought we were keeping it secret for now. I didn’t want Brewski to be too upset that I was slowly stealing you from him.
*Whispers* Mum’s the word, Aiki! */whispers*
Hi Bearly, I forgot my underwear in your room here, so I just need to grab them and…
Wait a minute… is that an orange-and-black striped tail poking out from under the bed?!?!
Oooh… It’s just like a soap opera…
*Sits back to watch what happens*
*plops down next to Chan*

It’s a Halloween costume, I swear!
*Panics slightly*
Oh, look! Free beer!

Sorry Brewski… I just had to be with her. Maybe another beer as a consolation?
*wakes up in Bearly’s closet very confused and disorientated*
Aiki! Betrayed by my best friend! *sob!*
Can this mean, the baby that Bearly is carrying is actually yours?
*Blanches*
I’m… p-p-p-p-pregnant?!
Ohhhh, you meant this doll I’m holding! Wow, I got scared for a second! Not really sure where it came from…
Oh! That’s my doll! Where did you find it!
Wait a minute! If Aiki was hiding under Bearly’s bed, then who is in my room?
*Exchanges dramatic glances with everyone in the room, one by one*
And who is that in the closet?! Oh my, the intrigue!! Who got whom pregnant? Who slept with what? Tune in tomorrow for the next episode of… FailBlog!!
In the closet: WIK & her camera.
Pregnant: Brewski (gave birth to a squid).
Sex: Arthur with a sheep.

Q: What does a lonely gay guy do when he is horny?
A: He shits in his hand then jerks off.
Wow. Way to be completely offensive without being funny in the least. Congrats.
Don’t worry, he won’t be around for very long. A mod is bound to take notice.
Oh, good. At least there is hope for the future then.
Q: Whats the best thing about being banned by a mod?
A: You can reset your I.P address and come back with a new screen name in 5 minutes. ☀
*hopes he didn’t eat the moderator to many times*
That’s what most newbie ignorant trolls think. The moderators will still block you no matter how many times you reset your IP. It’s not that hard. The last one to think he was invincible was nuked off the face of the blog. Don’t push your luck.

Oh, Michael Jackson! Sorry, I just never refer to him that way. It’s a very controversial subject. I personally loved Michael Jackson. It is sad that he may have abused and mistreated children, and he did do some terribly shocking things with his own, but before all that, he was the king of pop. How many people can say that? He revolutionized the music world. IDK, he’s still on my good list.
On the subject I was checking out ITunes top 100 songs this week and 25 of them where Michael Jacksons. I guess that is one way to sell music.
Sorry for the ‘h’.

I have that debate with people quite often: Do you separate the artist’s personal life from the art? I hate it when people deny themselves (and worse, others) the pleasure of the artist’s work because they can’t keep the person and the art separate. I suppose the artist will blur the line sometimes (Sinéad O’Connor on SNL many years ago comes to mind), but it’s sad and sometimes very dangerous.
Way back, a classmate in high school (redneck, cowboy boots, cowboy hat, Lee jeans, can of Copenhagen chew in the back pocket, the whole stereotypical bit) was a huge fan of a country singer (the name escapes me). Then the country singer came out of the closet as a lesbian, and he threw away all her music.
WTF?!

Although it’s never been proven, the most tragic example I’m aware of is Tchaikovsky committing suicide as the honorable way out of having to admit being homosexual, although he also had been p!ssing off the Russian royalty, so they might have gotten to him soon anyway.
… If I just ruined the Romeo and Juliet overture for any of you, I say, phhhbbbttt!
“he also had been p!ssing off the Russian royalty”
Confucius say, “Is always better to be piss off than piss on.”
MRN, an artist’s personal views and opinions rarely affect the way I perceive their art. However, if I discover the artist to be mean-spirited or otherwise an asshat, I find that changes the way I view their work. That doesn’t always translate into a complete denial of enjoyment. Discovering the artist is unintelligent can also have an affect, but that situation is more complicated.
You mean like how in a parallel universe I used to find Jessica Simpson totally hot – until I learned she was an r-tard and now I just find her repulsive?
And on the other hand, my finding out the Maynard James Keenan is a total jerk and has a terribly inflated ego did not alter my worship of his music in the least.

It’s explained a few times in the comments.
An open-bed truck picks up a load of liquified pig slop. It’s been cooked, so it’s very hot and steamy. It looks absolutely disgusting. The guy pulls up in the truck, hits the brakes, and half the load washes up in a wave over the cab of the truck.
And that is the whole nine yards in a nutshell. Well, not the whole nine yards – about 2 yards actually stayed in the truck bed.
Don’t forget the cab windows were open at the time. I imagine about a yard ended up in the drivers lap.
Yeah, but the driver didn’t mind because he was a pig anyway.

Two words for you – backup drive.
Very true.
(1) (2)
Very true.
(1) (2)
She has a backup drive, but apparently her local email copy wasn’t getting backed up. She needs to switch to IMAP if her hosting vendor supports it.
(She may be aware of all of this, so until I know more I’m not going to throw out suggestions.)
Suggest away! I’d been using the Windows Mail client, which is where I’d stored all my emails. I have a gmail account, but I don’t really use it that much. I may change that.
I do, indeed, have a backup, so most of my photos are saved! Yay!
With an IMAP account, a copy of all your email, including filed mail, can stay on the server, and a duplicate local copy is kept in sync. If your vendor supports it and will provide adequate storage space, you should ask them for instructions for setting up your email account and email client for IMAP access.
The alternative would be to use the Web mail client full-time and forego using a local client.
Microsoft email clients don’t handle IMAP all that well in my experience. Have you had much luck with this?
Also, there’s the address book that requires backup. I hate having different address books… one for webmail, one for Outlook, one for Windows Mail, etc. MS really doesn’t handle distributed computing well.
I’ve never had a problem with IMAP, but I’ve never used it with a Microsoft mail client.
That’s because you’re much smarter than I am!
Seriously, I would love to find a good solid multi-platform environment that allows me to consolidate all my email accounts and address books, and access them from anywhere. Webmail is a bit of a pain in the ass, I’m still looking for that perfect solution! My work uses Exchange server, and they do have IMAP enabled, so perhaps I should try a single IMAP client.
What client do you use AA?
PS I wasn’t being a smartass with that first comment, I was serious.
Brewski, if you find an answer to this problem, PLEEEEASE let me know!!! I juggle about four different email addresses and contact lists, and I’d love to consolidate them in one place that I could access from anywhere. I like the Windows Mail client because I can organize all my email accounts and create rules and folders and all that, but I can only access it from my computer. Hmph.
Also, I’ve lost your last email. Could you resend, please? Tanks.
I have to say, despite everything, this is a NICE computer. I think I came out ahead in this deal.
I use a Mac at home, so I use Mail.app and access IMAP enabled accounts…it works a treat. I used to have several email accounts, but not anymore. Lately I’ve just been living in Web mail, though. I use Web mail for accessing the work account.
IMAP is the answer, Dragon, but to maintain redundant storage (server and local), you’ll have to keep separate folders for each account, i.e., you won’t have one consolidated folder list that is fed from multiple accounts.
I have separate folders for all my accounts anyway…I like keeping things organized like that. SOME people even have their very own folders, and I just create rules to have the emails delivered right to that folder.
You’re the biggest slice of my email pie chart.
Not to sound like a pompous ass, but is a usb out of the question. It still seems a foolproof way to keep all emails and contacts clientized, folderized and any other ized word you want to keep in order. I have my 2 accounts, my hotmail (useless) and my gmail contacts as 2 separate folders which I zipped for space saving. Not even have a gig, there about 112mb for it.
back up back up back up on zip drives DW.

Zip Drives?! That’s retro!
I meant the little bitty drives key chain drives?
Retro: Something that fits an after market stock. nah nah lol.
Zip drives? People are still using those? I was thinking more along the lines of an extra hard drive myself …
I think we still have a zip drive at my place. It belongs to my mother. The external hard drive was dropped by my step-father. We still remind him of that every once in a while. I keep waiting for them to take it in and try to recover the data on it. 250 gigs gone. My cookbook was on that!!
Whew! Everything is pretty much back to the way I like it.
Fortunately, I do have an external hard drive, so I was able to restore most everything. I’m absolutely fanatical about backing up my books and manuscripts, so there’s no chance of losing those. It was only the emails I lost.

I think they misspelled “Dumb truck driver”.
(Did anyone say that before? If so, sorry!)
He drove the truck, didn’t he?
Damn you Germans changing English! *shakes fist* Dumb supposed to mean “unable to speak” not “stupid”!
Wait… Seriously? But it’s used as “stupid”, right?
It’s both, yes. Most people now use “mute” instead of “dumb” because of the other connotation, but “dumb” isn’t even politically correct.
♪ That deaf, dumb, blind kid…
Sure plays a mean pinball ♪
Politically incorrect. It is not politically incorrect. Bukkit, please.
Thanks!
Sorry, yes dumb has been used as stupid for a few hundred years now!
I just like to cause mischief! If you’re interested; it came into common use in America for meaning stupid sometime in the late 18th early 19th century. Probably due to the large amount of German pilgrims and the similarity to dumm, before that it only meant mute.

SORRY!!!!
*Places pillow originally used to save NS’s head*
Wow. This is some kind of SUPER pillow!
‘This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.’
oh my.
Failblog fails at the failvideo.
That wasn’t the fail?
Stupid you tube banning failblog…
Did they really do that?
*Looks at name again*
Must…Resist…PORTAL awesomeness…
Gah! Make the Correct Party Position Submission Decision!
Yes Portal is the best!
That it is. Even if it is crazy short
Agreed. Youtube sucks anyway. The vid quality is CRAP.
Marzipan!!! good night all!
Nighty Night!
Noooo. This is the worst thing to happen ever, ever!
We must have a statement!
Failblog Fail! yes!
It’s back! Different server. Yay FailBlog.
… and yet, it’s still blocked by “the I.T. powers that be” here at work.
Sorry, NS! *Squeeze*
Yay! The video came back….. *turns green*
I wish it hadn’t.
*BARF*
I like that new Viddler site! Let’s keep it, instead of YouTube!
What a lousy copy of “America’s Dirtiest Jobs”.
Another reason I eat organic, sustainably managed meat. They don’t feed “inedible” gunk and trash to the animals.
I don`t know if this has been mentioned before but this also happened on Dirty Jobs, with Mike Rowe…I mean, how many shows are there about this stuff?:)
We need more fails like this.
Or, You know.
Not.
I am curious to see if we will not be able to embed youtube videos in the comments when they get youtube running again.
At least we won’t get Rickroll’d again.
Even though Rick Astley is a beast.
That was on dirty jobs
Wow I am hungry now I need some vittles.
mike rowe from dirty jobs did this job
*Looks at Viddler*
Mom can we keep it? PWEEEEEEZ?
did truck died?
Just a test.
Did my new Avatar show yet?
Isaac Clarke isn’t exactly FailBlog material.
Guess not.
You know, Nevermind.
I will MAKE him FailBlog material
Try emptying your cache then refreshing.
Just so we know, what is your new one supposed to be?
It was going to be Marvin the Manically Depressed robot but…
And I have no idea what that is supposed to look like.
Ah, Not a HitchHikers Guide to the Galaxy fan, eh?
He’s there Qwaz. Kinda hard to see cause he’s light on white.
Darn. I’ll go back to Isaac, then.
For all that I know many of the key points to the book(s), I have never actually read it.
You should look into them. Douglas Adams is hilarious.
I take it back it’s not that hard to see.
Hmm. So He’s showing for you? I’m not seein him.
Yes ctrl-F5 clears my cache. When I 1st saw him he was at the bottom of my laptop screen and was having that white haze effect. I would keep him at least for awhile.
*gasp!*
Found him.
Hooray!
I like him! Keep him, please!
Alrighty. Just for you!
Aw, shucks. You’re too kind.
I see him — and I like him, too!
Nah, too kind is when you allow someone to literally walk all over you.
nightyshade’s back! And with a perfectly safe head!
Someone walking on you can be really helpful when your back hurts.
I’ve seen that done before. Looked like it worked really wwell only the recipient was saying “Mother of God!” the whole time.
*Rips out a ‘w’ in above statement and gives it to charity*
Is it really only 7:01?
Today was hella slow.
So is there a routine?
wash,dress, snack, book/movie, water, final potty, and then “close your eyes please” x 42
Yow. Every night?
No wonder you’re busy.
We often just wait until ours falls asleep all by herself wherever she happens to crash. Every once in a while, she’ll ask to be put to bed, but that’s rare.
That’s what my parents did for me only wherever I “happened to crash” was next to the couch on the floor.
Never made it any night.
She has a little foam foldout couch/bed thing which is often her crashing spot downstairs (if she’s not sprawled across my recliner). Otherwise, she’s usually on the upstairs couch. Luckily, I just need to give her a little shake, say “Upsie-daisy — time for bed,” and she’ll stand up so I can pick her up & carry her to bed. Picking her up as dead weight from the floor isn’t as easy as it used to be (now 5 years old & somewhere around 40lbs).
Lift with your legs nightyshade, your legs!
How am i spelling everything wrong today?
*tosses y into above comment*
gah! better yet!
*MOVES y in above comment* Do you mind if i just call you NS?
I don’t mind at all.
I do lift with my legs rather than my back as I’ve had back problems (not major, but still painful) — but picking up 40lbs of sleeping child ain’t easy no matter how well you do it.
Whee!
Lift with your Mini Crane NS, your Mini Crane!
I like your new avatar Quaz. I have four kids all self serving LOL.
