I have tried to post an apology about ten times now. I apologize for me earlier threads. All I can say is don't drink and post. Hope you all have a great week. Don't shoot the messenger. The devil is in the details. Happy is as happy does.
No further replies are needed.
If take your advice we will have 4 posts a day, all before noon...
“All I can say is don’t drink and post.”
Have You Lost Your Damned Mind!!??
I see what you did there.
Unnngh..
My, my...you are a glutton for punishment.
Drunk Driving on the Internet — April Fool’s Day, 1994
An article in PC Computing magazine written by John Dvorak described a bill going through Congress that would make it illegal to use the internet while drunk, or to discuss sexual matters over a public network. The bill was supposedly numbered 040194 (i.e. 04/01/94), and the contact person was listed as Lirpa Sloof (April Fools backwards). The article said that the FBI was going to use the bill to tap the phone line of anyone who “uses or abuses alcohol” while accessing the internet. Passage of the bill was felt to be certain because “Who wants to come out and support drunkenness and computer sex?” The article offered this explanation for the origin of the bill: “The moniker ‘Information Highway’ itself seems to be responsible for SB 040194, which is designed to prohibit anyone from using a public computer network (Information Highway) while the computer user is intoxicated. I know how silly this sounds, but Congress apparently thinks being drunk on a highway is bad no matter what kind of highway it is. The bill is expected to pass this month.” The article generated so many outraged phone calls to Congress that Senator Edward Kennedy’s office had to release an official denial of the rumor that he was a sponsor of the bill.
You need to be like me.
When I drink I become wittier and more articulate (albeit somewhat more verbose). Also better looking, but no one here can really appreciate that.
Happens often enough there should be a meme for it. DWP, drunk while posting is to inane.
But it makes for such epic threads! Like this one:
And your unique threads...
What a Saturday!!!!!!
>>I apologize for >me< earlier threads<<
Popeye, is that you?
Oh, that is funny!
I just posted some new nasty things on there. If I were you I wouldn’t look.
That’s disturbing. Mere alcohol doesn’t begin to account for all the issues raised.
Either that or he’s Irish, although perhaps not mutually exclusive.
LOL
