This has happened before with your browser, when you tried to type in your youngest's name, IIRC.

I didn't know what caused it then either, except to speculate that it was something trying to redirect your browser.

it's an odd character flaw, I think.

I'm tempted to say everything just lightly wrong for the rest of the evening just to give you a hard time...

Now ~that's~ an odd character flaw if I ever saw one. ;~D

[Corin Stormhands]

Heh...a little more current than that.

(I swear, I just typed it here and it wouldn't let me post it)

Can one of you try it so I know I'm not going crazy?

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Heh, I just put a name to my character flaw: anal retentive.

Yeah, saying everything just slightly wrong would keep my fingers busy typing responses, all right.

[HairOfTheDog]

If you'd tell me what it is, I'd type it... I don't know the answer. ;~D

I think mine is called smart a$$.

Oh yeah, I remember that now. You know there's five people using this computer and I can't control where they all go. I still can't get rid of popups. I've got a firewall on, I run anti-virus stuff, I tell IE to turn on the pop-up blocker, and none of it works.

It's stuck on my (real) first name. Not the actor's name.

BRB.

Mickey Rooney?

Michael Jackson.

[ecurbh]

Michael Jackson?

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

My system is going to be pretty much unusable for the next hour... I'm recording a TV show, and with this old video card I've got installed temporarily I can't do much else while it records.

[Ramius]

Ruthy is having connection troubles, and has given it up for the evening...

[Corin Stormhands]

Okay, it was in the firewall. At least I got it figgered out...for now.

g'nite folks

(and yes, it was Michael Jackson)

[HairOfTheDog]

That's a really strange firewall.... What's it trying to accomplish?

The Wiz (1978)

Pre-surgery Michael Jackson as The Scarecrow, Nipsey Russell as The Tinman.

Coon was my first thought...but I've never seen one around! Then when my neighbor said he smelled a skunk, I wondered if maybe it was a skunk! Then just this evening, my good friend across the street said she had an opossum living under her porch!

Who knew there was so much wildlife in my neighborhood! So it coulda been a coon.

[2Jedismom]

This evening, while we were driving home from Aldi's, these Goth looking teenage or young adult men (pierced in many places on their faces) pulled up beside us in their car at the light. I kid you not, they had a full-sized *fake* but realistic decapitated head with a meat hook going through it hanging from their rear-view mirror! Very bloody looking, mouth agape...

Naturally I busted out laughing and the jedis saw and Matthew said in a very "Marvin" sounding voice "Now I've got a headache!"

Ha ha!! My kids love HHG!

[Bear_in_RoseBear]

Yup, 'coons and 'possum are the most common urban wildlife, after squirrels. We've had both turn up at our house, living and dead. And we don't even live in a very suburban area...

[2Jedismom]

Well, here is my plan...

I'm going to take a board and lay it down in front of the coop and sift flour onto it and see if I can get some track prints. If it's for sure a coon or skunk, I think I'll take g'nad's advice and have it trapped and removed.

[HairOfTheDog]

Heh.... you might be able to get away with reading them the books. They aren't naughty, that I can remember, there's just a lot of those kind of one liners.
