Random Thought of the Day

[kathycf]

Thanks but I've gotten my orders to move. On the plus side it's a more private office - I can plot my revenge in peace. Ya know what they say ....Hell Hath no furry......

Now, I need ideas...... anybody?

Heh, I actually (yes, really! ;) ) did a blog post on a very similiar topic...
These are all (playful) ways to get "even".


WWN has to be the most absurdly compelling "news" paper ever. Tis awesome in it's cheeziness.

7 WAYS TO ANNOY CO-WORKERS -WITHOUT GETTING IN TROUBLE!
By DORIAN WAGNER

BOCA RATON, Fla. — Every office has one: The guy who is always looking for new ways to drive everyone crazy. You want to fight back but don't want to risk getting in trouble, right? Well thanks to a new book, Legal Ways to Drive Them Loony, you too can be extremely — yet innocently — annoying.

"The tried-and-true pranks I've outlined in my book are guaranteed to get them good and give you a good laugh — without technically doing anything wrong," author Rick Quigley told us. "And believe me, it's those little things that really get to people."

Here are 7 of his favorites:

* SEND VOICEMAILS THAT GO ON AND ON. Call a coworker and make your point over and over or don't make one at all. "Either way, be sure to talk until the message stops recording," Quigley said. "Most desk workers don't know how to stop a voicemail before it's over so they're forced to listen to the whole, frustrating message."
* FORWARD AS MANY STUPID EMAILS AS POSSIBLE. According to Quigley, the average office worker receives 42 emails a day. "Imagine if you could bump that number up by another 40 or 50!" he said. "Bonus points for anything with puppy pictures, a sappy story or a link to some tremendously long news story no one cares about."
* COMMUNICATE ONLY IN BABY TALK. Enough said about this one.
* MASS E-MAIL ASKING IF ANYONE WANTS FREE TICKETS. "Timing is everything on this one," Quigley said. "Make sure it's right before the NBA finals, Super Bowl or World Series. When the excited responses pour in, simply write back, "Yeah — me too." It's not your fault they misinterpreted your question as an offer. "The important thing to remember is that it's easy to get their goat — without needing a scapegoat."
* BANG YOUR HEAD REPEATEDLY ON YOUR COMPUTER KEYBOARD. "Coworkers have to look over, to ask 'what's wrong,' " Quigley said. "Then you say 'nothing' — but keep banging. It's like tapping your fingers on the desk only 10 times worse."
* BREAK OUT THE SPORTS SECTION DURING IMPORTANT MEETINGS. You're at the meeting, you were on time, you're not talking out of turn. Heck, you may even be listening! "But it gives off an air of 'I don't care' that is priceless in terms of annoyingness," Quigley assured us.
* YELL FOR SOMEONE TO "CHECK THIS OUT" RIGHT NOW. Make sure it's pointless — and that they're busy. "Then have your latest paper clip chain or face-of-Jesus on the bottom of your coffee cup all ready for them," Quigley suggested. "You made them get up and wasted their time. Two points for you."

I've lost the meaning of life but I thought
Does it ever has a meaning
Sick and tired I'm with what I was
But still I'm the same and that what I'd be
The same ever and forever in this world
Trying to give meaning to what has no meaning
Life, live, love make a good consonance
But still make no reason for me to be
Yet, empty should it be as ever
Forsaken and alone forever

[Stanislaw]

I can't wait till november...Star Wars Lego 2 comes out! :thumbs_up

[adilyoussef]

What we want and what others want is never the same. Once we agree upon the same things in a way or another, that could be called love.

[AimusSage]

I think am one of the few.

[bonnett]

What happens if I press that button...

[adilyoussef]

What makes one happy might be his/her source of agony.

[Stanislaw]

I have found a new goal in life...I am going to work at an uninteresting / disfunctional job...make a pittance of money compared to the exec tea...and then die on the job at the age o 65...oh wait...thats what I amdoing already...ahh...only 45 more years till permanent retirement!

[papayahed]

That's the spirit Stannie!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!

[Stanislaw]

That's the spirit Stannie!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!

I know...If I don't keep motivated...I just don't thrive to be the best and don't chase after those non-monitary awards... :D

Literature teacher: "So, how did your brothers final essay go?"
Us: "Well"
Teacher: "How well?"
Us: "Very well. 98 points" (100 points is the maximum)

"I've got good news and bad news, which do you want first?"

"the Bad news."

"the bad news is I lied. There is no bad news. The Good news is I love you"

In exercises 1 and 2, forget about eigenvectors, and find a basis for your life.

Why won't the jitters go away? Saturday is yet days away.

Get well soon. Ammi, I want you to be alright. I hope that the operation will go well but you also don't want me to be sad but I can't help being despressed sometimes, you are a very good mother. I love you Ammi, I do!!!!!!!! I really hope that your operation will go well, and you will be hale and hearty as well! Don't worry, you will be alright, it is not a dangerous operation.

[Stanislaw]

I've returned from work, to eat some food, and pirate somes stuff, to return to another job, that ends today. - me, about right now. :D

[imthefoolonthehill]

summer school is over... and perhaps there is life after studying?

[adilyoussef]

Would I live as long as I wish?

[Pensive]

She is fine now, perfect! :D

[mono]

After the immense stress of nursing school, the pains of the last term, completing my undergraduate thesis, experiencing the surprisingly nerve-racking graduation, taking an anxiety-saturated NCLEX-RN exam, and awaiting my results (that take two painstaking days to arrive), I at last receive my results . . .




































The newest initials after my name: RN. :D

[papayahed]

Allll Rriiggghhhttttttt!!!!!!!

Congratulations Mono, RN!!!!

Roger Waters is coming to Ahoy! :banana:
I really want to go, but tickets are 69 Euros. :eek:

I'll just have to check every pocket I have!
I really don't like the absurdly high prices for concerts these days. :(

[Themis]

Could it be save to open the windows at 2,a.m? Or should I wait some more for the insects that try frying themselves on my lamps to go to sleep and make way for the insects that try to drive themselves made by circling the lamps all day?

[mono]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, papayahed, Scheherazade, and Pensive. It certainly feels relieving to get all that schooling and licensure behind me. Now I only must await the long, boring process of my orientation to the new ICU job. :rolleyes:

[lavendar1]

And a comb and a brush and a bowl full of mush
And a quiet old lady whispering hush...

I wish my children still wanted me to read them Goodnight Moon!

Looks like we'll be listening to Primus instead.

Hey...not bad...

I remember when I once enjoyed warm weather, but the weather lately . . . ugh! Yesterday peaked at 105ºF (about 40.5ºC), the day before at 99ºF (about 37.2ºC), and today, meteorologists anticipate, will peak at 100ºF (about 38ºC).
I have never felt more like the Wicked Witch of the West from The Wizard Of Oz --

It's funny how 5 years ago seem like yesterday wheras ten years seem like ages ago. :)

[grace86]

I find it amazing how much I learn about all the members here by just reading the random thoughts and live chat posts!! You know, I find myself spending most of my free time here on LitNet, when normally I would be spending the time reading...hmmm...LitNet, promoter of reading...or slightly distracting ;) What am I talking about, this is not my free time, I am supposed to be working!!!! grrrr

[papayahed]

I know what you mean grace, I'm suppossed to be working too. what's even worse a couple times I posted so much a forum member asked if I had a vacation day...


Anyways, now let's talk about me:

What the hell, I'm looking at a sheet of paper that gives the effective dates of certain regulations. As sure as I'm sitting here the regulations start 7/1/06. A guy at another site insists they start 7/1/07. Besides saying ya huh - nuh uh back and forth I don't know how to convince him. .......Maybe I need convincing I dunno.

[imthefoolonthehill]

Lesson learned: don't hitch-hike.........

glue the paper to the dictionay of justice...and have at 'im! If reason doesn't work...osmosis never fails! :D

heh, I am getting behind in my work, I have my regular job responsibilities, and now I am also scripting a database for our office work schedular (I spoke out about how much like dilbert we are to use the email system for a database, and in dilbert fashion got rewarded with the task of handling the new database...heh, guess when I applied here I shouldn't have told them that I know c++). oh vell, could be worse...I mean I could be sitting in a meating right now...atleast that gets postponed on my schedual for another 30 minutes or so...heh, heh, heh, I think I have a plan though...just before the manager speaks, I'll turn to a coworker and tell him how I've been sitting at home with my 25 chickens imported directly from avian flu research labs inc. to help with my database scripting..."gotta love discount chicken"...then we'll see how fast the room empties! :D

[Themis]

Finally (!) I've managed to remember each constitution between 1848 and 1867 and now I can move on to memorizing what they say each. If only the history of law would end there ...

[grace86]

Studying law Themis? Maybe you mentioned that though.

[Themis]

Yes, I do and yes, I did. :D

[AimusSage]

sometimes I wonder about all the wondrous things in the universe, then I think of all the not so wondrous things in the universe, and I feel content that not all is wondrous for what would the value of wondrous things be if all are equally wondrous?

That's why I enjoy opposites so much.

[Taliesin]

Anyone who controls the weather here has got a strange sense of irony.

See, there has been a heat wave here for about a month so that by the end of first week everyone felt like melting.

So, the practically only day when it rained and was cold was 23th June.

(explanation: it is a custom in Estonia and in a few neighbouring countries to make a big fire on the evening between 23th and 24th of June. It is an old custom and has actually been practiced in the rest of Europe too, but it has died out there. To make and sit besides th efire is considered to be very important.)

[papayahed]

ugh, I realy dislike being on hold!!!! Especially with crappy hold music - It's the satellite radio people they of all people should have goog music!!!!

17 minutes already.

Oh, I can't go to Karachi with these aunties. Ahhhh, I can't bear the way they critisize one---about clothes, jewellery, habits...etc..

*banging her head against the wall*

But I don't want to miss the fun!!!

*confused*

[mono]

I feel as though I must repeat myself over and over again, overly-explain myself, and go through far too much effort for individuals to understand me; such, I swear, could compel me back to that dreaded teen-angst phase.
At times, absolute silence sounds so tempting. :rolleyes:

ahhhh, the old hanging out with the family conundrum!!! I dreaded going on vacation with my relatives quite a few years ago but loking back I wouldn't have missed it for the world - to this day we still tease my uncle about his "Date". hahahaha, I'm laughing about it as I type this... :lol:

Stupidity seems even more stupid when a stupid action could have appeared stupidly and easily prevented, especially when realized by a stupid person. :p

Ha ha ha - That's great Mono. You have actually just summed up what has happened at work here today

[Stanislaw]

I love the trun this thread has taken...it has become more of a random venting of activities at work thread... :D ...speaking of such...I do believe that I am the only person in the entire city that can actually read the name of buildings, and the address...so many people call, and are all: oh man, I'm standing at the corner o the intersection looking around, and I just can't find the building...
Me: er, do you see the big grey brick thing...thats it.
:D

[papayahed]

As long as were venting about work: AAAAARRRGGGHHHHH! The new Superintendent and plant manager decided to change the attendence policy, they did this behind a closed door and didn't tell anyone except the chick that keeps track - now the whole plant is asking me about it and all I can say is "I don't know". They also did the same thing a few months back regarding an employee and drug testing - the 2 made a decision and didn't have the guts to stand up in front of the plant and explan their decision, instead I had to give my standard "I don't know". These are the same 2 guys who always say "We need to be a team" *pffftttt* I don't think they know the definition!!

What does it seem about nature that always brightens my spirits? This morning, I felt horribly depressed, and almost did not want to attend a day-long hiking trip a friend and I had planned. Regardless, I forced myself.
The closer and closer we got to our destination, many forests, waterfalls, rivers, and lakes leading to it, I gradually felt my mood lightening, incessantly bringing smiles to my face, joking, and anticipating the hike.
In all, we ambled roughly 12 miles (slighly over 19 kilometers), and by the end, besides feeling exhausted, I had not felt that elated since my last trip there (about a month ago).
No matter how much I meditate on the subject of what amazes me, enthalls me, and fulfills me with transcendence in nature, I shall never know, and hardly what to know, desiring more to leave it in the unknown.

" when I die don't bury me, in a box in a cold hard cemetery

Why is it a single verse from a song can sing round your head for days a wake you up at night??

[AimusSage]

Woohoo, I just saw, and (mostly) heard the first single of the new IRON MAIDEN! Album, 'A Matter of life And Death'. The single is called 'The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg' I have no idea who the guy is, but it sounds fantastic! :D:D:D:D:D:D :banana: :banana: :banana:

Wow, very soon it will be klondike days here in edmonton, and though, I usually on casually attend the parade...from My office window, I never thought I would miss it...but since I have moved offices, and no longer can waste time watching the parade...it seems a little part o me has withered...the part that enjoys wasting time...damn work killing my happy side. heh, I don't know which smiley is approp. happy, sad... or just have meloncholic.

Im thinking of getting "not very smart please explain " tattooed to my forehead that way people wont just assume I know things.

[Nightshade]

You know what really really annoys me?
Its referance books or factual sources that are wrong.
Take wikkipedia for eg it says that costantinople fell to the Ottamans in 1453 when it didnt it well to the Abassyanns and then they lost it to the fatimyian and eventually it was lost to the ottamans at least 200 years later.
Why dont they check their facts :mad:

Ugh, I have had the same trouble, Nightshade. Wikipedia.com consists of essays made from users and everyday visitors of the site. Of course, high scholars and very well-educated people may have contributed to them, but nothing appears completely factual or correct.
If you find things wrong on the site, however, you can always post a comment on the page, notifying others of incorrect information, and your corrections. I have found few incorrect facts, and have posted. ;)

[Nightshade]

Yes but the whole article is based on this misfact so the whole thing would need scrapping and my history isnt that competent.
but it worse in published referance books when they misquote a source then base all these long winded conclusions on the error. but when I wantted to write a little note and stick it in the margine of the book ( it was a library book ) I got told to forget about it :mad:

:D ahh well I suppose I am a wee bit pedantic about facts.

[Nightshade]

1) I can still fit in the paddling pool.( this is especially great in this heat wave as it means I can cool down quickly)
2) I have to reach and strech for everything which apparantly means I end up with a nice waist.
3) I never have to mess with light bulbs becsue I cant reach them.

..... its goot to be just about 5ft tall.

[Themis]

Night? What is a 'paddling pool'?

I was just thinking about my childhood, when I was between four and ten. We used to go to our (summer) residence in Lower Austria during summer vacation and the pictures we have of that time paint a picture so different from what is happening these days.
There are lots of photos of my brother and I in the photoalbum I'm now looking at and I do not even remember them all. Just a few. It all seems so long ago now. And for now it is. Perhaps, in twenty years or so, ten years out of 40 won't seem so much anymore.

Sometimes Mozilla Firefox really, really, really, really bothers me. When surfing around pages, sometimes a separate window appears stating Firefox must close 'due to an error;' it did this today before sending a very long e-mail.
To my brother who recommended that I get Mozilla Firefox, I smite thee!
Grrrr . . . :mad: :crash:

[Nightshade]

:D your welcome like I said good tyo be short or I wouldnt fit :lol:

ohh poor you Mono ....whats firefox??

[Madhuri]

Firefox is a browser just like Internet Explorer from Microsoft or Netscape. The speciality of this browser is that on the same view under different tabs you can open many web pages, instead of opening them seperately as is the case with IE. Also, there are options like continue from previous page or start fresh.

Why dont they check their facts :mad:Even though I am yet to encounter a problem with Wikipedia as a reliable source, I have often heard it from other people that it is not.

However, in this incident, I believe, they are correct, Night. The Ottomans did conquer Istanbul (Constantinople) in 1453. I am not sure when Abassyans and Fatimians were in Istanbul because it was in the hands of Byzantine Empire for almost a thousand years before the Ottoman capture:
İstanbul is famous as one of the most often besieged cities in the world. Before the Turkish conquest its assailants included the Arabs (673–78, 717–18), the Bulgarians (813, 913), and the armies of the Fourth Crusade, which twice succeeded in taking the city (1203, 1204). After Constantinople fell to the Turks in 1453, the city became the capital of the Ottoman, or Turkish, Empire;

Yeah, I noticed that too, having a bit of an interest in history, but I was too lazy to point it out, besides, I love the changes in history more than I like actual history.

Have any of you ever used 'Google Earth?' My goodness, I love that program!
For those unfamiliar, 'Google Earth' you can find as a free download online, and use satellites in space to visualize any part of the earth from far to close distances (zooming in and out). Wow, I stand amazed! :nod:

I intended to post this the other day, but unfortunately forgot. I will copy a few details I read out of a particular column of my newspaper (The Oregonian) called The Edge. For all purposes, of course, The Oregonian published these details on Thursday, July 27, 2006 . . . bleh. The Edge usually has all sorts of fun trivia or amusing articles (basically what one calls 'brain candy'). The words explain themselves . . .

Minimum number of souls that go to hell every day, according to http://www.jesus-is-savior.com/: 209,588.

Maximum number that go to hell each day, according to the site: 230,548.

Percentage of Americans who think Jesus Christ was 'the greatest American of all time': 1%.

I dont know if I told you all about the man who stroked my head in the street and how creepy and scary that was?
Well today I topped it.
This man comes into the library and ask a question and someone else answered it but he was looking at me, later he comes back and stares and styares andstares at me and it was horrible and creepy, and someone else was serbing him an d he didnt even look at her he just kept staring at me. Until I couldnt stand it anymore and hid in the back offce ( cowardly I knopw but it was eeeeeeek *shudder*)
anyway the weather has been almost autummy today and I notice as I leave work while we are locking up that hes in the carpark just hannging round in the rain and then Im crossing the street and he looks up and sees me then next thing I know hes pulled up in his car has the door open and is asking me if I want a lift.....as IF!
still it was kind of scary because even though it was only 5 oclock the weather has driven everyone indoors and I was in flimsy heeled boots and a long skirt not really good for running or fighting you know??

And that was just the icing on a bad day all round
I think Ive earned a Milkshake dont you?? :goof:

[AimusSage]

Oh, a creep, you should have kicked him in the nuts. Creeps don't serve a purpose, they are a blight. You should report him to the police, not that they'll likely do anything, but it is your civic duty, or something like that. :nod:
I've seen a few creeps do that to women, ceeping up and acting all creepy. I've always had the urge to hit them in the head for it, let's just say I don't approve of their methods of creeping people out.

You better bring your military issues combat boots next time, so you can hit him where it really hurts. They are the kind of guys that deserve to be in severe pain. They give the rest of us a bad name.

And yes, I think you have earned your milkshake.

[Scheherazade]

And yes, I think you have earned your milkshake.Didn't know one needed to 'earn' their milkshakes... Thought everyone is entitled to milkshakes!

:goof:

[AimusSage]

Didn't know one needed to 'earn' their milkshakes... Thought everyone is entitled to milkshakes!

Really, that's news to me, I always thought they had to be earned. Are you sure you are not confusing your reality with ours. :p

[Scheherazade]

Really, that's news to me, I always thought they had to be earned. Are you sure you are not confusing your reality with ours. :p'Reality'?? What is that??

[Nightshade]

exactly IM going to start getting changed at work again into trousers and my steele toe boots maybe Ill carry a brick in my bag too.
Or Aimus you could just visit with the martians??????
:D
But as for kicking him I just wanted to be away FAST !

Scher there are 2 types of milkshake the kind everyone is entiled too and the extra large choclate one that you earn
:D:nod:

[Scheherazade]

How do you know that that guy is not Aimus himself in disguise???

:D:D:D

[Nightshade]

Because:eek2::eek2::eek2:..... oh no !!!


Aimus what colour car do you drive??!

[AimusSage]

Hey, I resent that, if I was anywhere near that library at that time I would most certainly not have offered anyone a lift in my car!

You see, I don't have a car! You obviously didn't think it through when you made that acussation now did you? Now if the guy head a big turnip, you would have had reason to think it was me, but as is, not a chance! :D

[Nightshade]

well his nose was a bit like a turnip.....

What do you drive if you dont have a car? a brommer, maybe?

[AimusSage]

I have a lovely bike, it's called 'stupid thing' because it never talks back, and it can go really fast. Actually I have two bikes, but the other one is old, really old, and I only use it when I go someplace where bike theft is common. :D

[Nightshade]

bike?? what bike a

I wish it was like the one in the second picture, but no, it's a mountain bike.

Much like this one:

[Nightshade]

still very nice I cant ride a bike :(

[AimusSage]

What, why not? It's healthy, fun and good exercise.

[Nightshade]

no cordination I can keep the stupid things balanced, me on it and rember to look for cars like you said multi tasking other than mentally not my thing.
Now read a book, mentally write an essay, plan my dinner now that I can do . :nod:

[AimusSage]

There are bikes with little helper wheels. I'm sure you can keep those balanced. Then you only need to look out for cars. But it does require a certain forward velocity to be balanced, the slower you go, the more difficult it becomes. :D

[Nightshade]

oh poo I think ILl just keep walking then if IM in trouble Ill just climb a tree.

[AimusSage]

Most bears can climb trees, but only a select few can ride a bike! You didn't think of that now did you. :p

[Nightshade]

you are being logical :mad: :p
;)

[AimusSage]

Of course I'm logical, I'm a boy, you said so yourself in the PAM thread. :D

[Nightshade]

since when were boys ever logical???

[AimusSage]

Ever since girls aren't, someone has to be logical and reasonable in the world. :D

[Nightshade]

yes the cats :nod:

oh and the computer goblins

[AimusSage]

Cats are logical? That's the first time I've heard that. I think they are more like girls, completely illogical, but cute nonetheless. :D

One of the fundamental rules on Earth is: "Whenever you would like to catch lightning on a photograph, you can be absolutely sure there will be lightning while you get your camera, when you turn the wretched thing on but absolutely no lightning when you're trying to get a picture of it. Oh, and of course, there will be lightning, once you've turned your back on it."

heh my random thought:

...or rather, My random evil thought...
I was sitting at work, my office is directly opposite the esl classes...we can actually see into eachothers respective room throught the windows...I was sorting through a pile of old backup harddrives and assorted cd-drives (heh, they were in a box...not plugged in or the like) and the esl teacher started playing some horrible pre-schooler music to help teach english or something...and my thought of the day was...how many of these(the hard drives) would I have to blindly toss at the class room throught the open seiling to stop the noise...and then I sat there and imagined it. heh, according to my asst, I was chuckling evily, thus prompting his question...er what are your thinking about?:D

Randomly my thoughts flow
Up and down in lifesea they go
Thinking of past and future too
But the gratest part is held by you
You dearest to my heart and life
You whom I wanted to be my wife
If I love you, that because of you
Who made me instead of one to be two
Sharing the same life randomly
'cause this is just a random thought baby ;)

Why is forgetting so much harder than forgiving?
I can forgive easily I can usually understand the why behind it. But forget no, its like a shoe on a blister and every so often te blister bursts open and bleeds and there nothing you can do about it becasue you have wear shoes because you have to go out. So it never fully heals.

What a morbid thought :eek: but true. You cant just forget somthing beaue you wnt to, the more you try to iggnor it or push it away the bigger it gets until one day itll swallow you live, and all the cheerfullness will be gone.

Here's a random thought... Once, a few years ago (I think I was thirteen) my friends and I were very, very bored. And so we decided to conduct what we dubbed a sociological experiment: wander around in the public place where we were and ask random people, "excuse me sir/ma'am, but would you happen to have a latex glove?" We got some interesting looks. Y'all should try it sometime; puzzling total strangers is surprisingly fun. :D

Lots of love Me.

Is it? plus if I do email that he'll freak out and probably never talk to me again right?

Pfff, just send the email, but with big letters on top, I HAD A DREAM after which you explain why you send it etc. I'm sure he'll apreciate your concern. :nod:

As for randomness, I spend 3,5 hours getting home today, thanks to a derailed freight train that caused a chemical spill. This was near a trainstation on my route, and all traffic to and from the station was halted.

As it turned out it wasn't as bad as intially thought, no big chemical spill or anything, but it did cause a big chaos, as it is an important trainstation with lots of trains coming through. Lots of people were stranded.

I'm just kidding, password changes all have to do with upholding the security of the system, or the admin forgot to set your password to never expire (however, changing your password every 4 months or so is a good idea...but usually not neccesary unless you have administrative authority, or have very critical items on your pc. :)

"When Eddie said he didn't like his teddie,
you knew he was not a good kid.
But when he threatened your life
with a switchblade knife-"
"-What a guy!-"
"-Makes you cry-"
"-Und I did-"

So, we are back from the Rocky Horror Picture Larp show yesterday. Played Eddie. That was one of the most absurd Larps we have been to. The characters
*The Addams family. Gomez, Morticia (they were very, very, very good) and Wednesday and Hester. Gomez fas a former classmate of Frank.
*The Scooby-Doo gang. They were there because two of them had been killed by some thing. And wanted to find out.
*Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She tried to hit on us, spoke how she always, from her early childhood had dreamt of men woth motorcycles
*some chap dressed overly in red. Apparently, a vampire. Buffy had a crush on him.
*Flintstones characters.
*Austin Powers and James Bond. Kept shooting and didn't have to load their guns even after shooting 24 shots.
*Yoda. It later turned out that Brad (Janet's boyfriend) was a Sith-lord so that was why he was here.
*A Teletubby. That was severely absurd.
*Ramses the Second.
*Playboy Robots, Franks' newest inventions.
*And of course, the Rocky Horror Picture Larp Shows characters - Eddie (us), our uncle, Dr. Scott, Frank, Columbia, Riff-Raff and Magenta (those two were played by the GM s) and Brad and Janet. No Rocky.
*and others.

That was a bloody strange Larp.

I also wanted to know is it possible to use arrays, loops if and while function things and those little choice box things to make a program ( is it even called a program??) that will print out all the people I need to email like 100 people from 4 differant units but some are in more than one and I dont want to repeat the email to them but I want it to tell me who it is I needto email if I pick 2 of the 4 units. Or would it just be easier with access?

The code that you'll write for it will be called a program. It will be better if you use variables, than providing specific numbers, like 100, other wise it will run only for these specific values, using variables will make it work for any number of emails you want. Access, is a database, I have not done any programming using it, I have used it more for dbase purpose, and then used a program that will connect to this dbase and extract values as desired.

I hope this helps. :)

So, we are back from the Rocky Horror Picture Larp show yesterday. Played Eddie. That was one of the most absurd Larps we have been to. The characters
*The Addams family. Gomez, Morticia (they were very, very, very good) and Wednesday and Hester. Gomez fas a former classmate of Frank.
*The Scooby-Doo gang. They were there because two of them had been killed by some thing. And wanted to find out.
*Buffy the Vampire Slayer. She tried to hit on us, spoke how she always, from her early childhood had dreamt of men woth motorcycles
*some chap dressed overly in red. Apparently, a vampire. Buffy had a crush on him.
*Flintstones characters.
*Austin Powers and James Bond. Kept shooting and didn't have to load their guns even after shooting 24 shots.
*Yoda. It later turned out that Brad (Janet's boyfriend) was a Sith-lord so that was why he was here.
*A Teletubby. That was severely absurd.
*Ramses the Second.
*Playboy Robots, Franks' newest inventions.
*And of course, the Rocky Horror Picture Larp Shows characters - Eddie (us), our uncle, Dr. Scott, Frank, Columbia, Riff-Raff and Magenta (those two were played by the GM s) and Brad and Janet. No Rocky.
*and others.

That was a bloody strange Larp.



It was just a jump to the left.

...and then a step to the riiiiiiight.
With your hands on your hips!
You bring your knees in tight
But it's the pelvic thrust that really drives you insane.

Let's do the Time Warp again!

Hehe, it is indeed. :D

[kathycf]

Ahhhgh, the Timewarp!!!! :lol:


With a bit of a mind flip...
You're into a time slip...
And nothing can ever be the same.
You're spaced out on sensation. HAH!
Like you're under sedation!
Let's do the time warp again!

TIME IS RUNNING OUT!

How is it possible for things to be burnt, yet not cooked. Stupid ovens. Think I'll stick to tins of soup from now on

[cuppajoe_9]

I can almost guarantee that the oven was too hot.

Remeber: when it's brown it's cooked, when it's black it's ******.

Finally, the gates of hell opened; a pebbled path lay before me.
Resting on my back and supriseingly weightless, is woolen sack of my lifes experience it hangs over one sholder no longer a burden on both.
I put a foot foward and begin my journey ..... The Caymen,
now exposed,
will remain behind.

It all went as expected.

Vietnam.

We think we have a good chance of getting there. We are about the right level of competing.

tinned spaghetti with mushrooms is really really not all I thought it would be...and I wasn't expecting much from it to begin with. :sick:

I'm hoping my microwave marie callendar's lunch will be better...sorry about that Kathy, I hate when food is like that.

Do you like mushrooms? I am allergic :nod:

Aw, no worries grace, thanks. :) I love mushrooms, and I should have known better than to trust a tin of spaghetti. I like pasta but am thinking it should be cooked the traditional way...not canned. I am betting your lunch will be much better!

[grace86]

You know this brand of microwave dinner/lunch is pretty good being it is microwaved, but yuck, I would love the real thing just like you Kathy...but what can you do, the lunch hour is so short. Better than fast food I suppose :D

[papayahed]

Doh, I used to love Spaghettio's with little meatballs. Each little meatball had it's own little glob of fat attached to each one.

[grace86]

Papaya, that made my stomach turn just a tad!

[kathycf]

Globs of fat, yay! ;) :p
Maybe the Sphagettios would have been better, this was just canned spaghetti from Campbell's. *Somebody* in the house likes it....and I was too lazy to fix something else. :D

Agreed, but how to enforce it?
