I thought Wanking was a city in China.

I'll take the bloodbath, large casualties amongst the persons willing to fight will help avoid the kinds of things happening in baghdad now with these foreign fighters against our troops.

Dawn- Baghdad-NTV cam-zoomed OUT

Ahh yes another beautiful sunrise in FREE BAGDAD

Am I hearing generators or is that the tanks still?

[oceanview]

they just make up numbers, I don't think it will cost that much.

[POGIFFMOO]

I thought that was for if you picked your nose while typing and needed to scrape it off your finger......silly me.

[Jackie-O]

OMG! I thought you had your solution the other day with the breaking news window??

Kitten: I thing BCA had a few Wankerisms too, do you recall?

DON"T TOUCH THE 5 KEY

Ah, yes, but after you've worn out the F5 key on this thread, you could remap it to the one with the lil dot on it :-).

[Fledermaus]

In my best Mr. Smithers...."Excellent!"

[nicmarlo]

when I need the news and quick..I ask for a fasr summary, and an awesome freeper always obliges right away.

'tis true; usually during the weekday, I can only lurk....sometimes post a few....but not much at all. And almost always, I can spend very little time lurking....so, I just announce I can't be online for too long, don't know what's new, and could someone tell me what's been going on for the past few hours...

Other times, when at work (and I have no access to listening), when the President is speaking, I remind the posters to type the highlights for us "cubicle-bound" FReepers....they always oblige, within seconds...even if I can't always respond right away in either acknowledgment or thanks (because at work, I just can't always jump back in and be my polite self). : )

[Jackie-O]

LOL!!

[wolficatZ]

not sure; if thats a tank idling, that's cool, but if it's that obnoxious clattering generator...

[Socratic]

I've heard this news, but never caught what city this building was in. Anyone know?

[TigersEye]

I've never touched those number keys. Or the F keys ... or the insert or home keys. I feel quite unnerdful now that this has been pointed out. :(

[Consort]

The ALT key plus the numeric keys on the right produce special characters:

— • ² ¼ ½ ™ § ¡ ¿ † ± ¢ € ¥ £ etc.

[SoldiersGirl]

ahhhhh
oohhhhh
neat.

new toy
LOL

Ahhhh, the difference between tyranny (that wankers support) and freedom!

[The Hon. Galahad Threepwood]

He got wanking confused with whacking

Good thing John Gotti didn't do that. His men would have wanked Big Paul Castellano in the street.

[TigersEye]

The same for typist with the bumps on the "F" and "J".

I knew that! : )
