rune Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 After hearing sad news this morning, that Howard Morris died, it got me to thinking how much this place IS like the Andy Gzriffith show. Joebob is, of course, the Sheriff. Boo being the first deputy, is definitely Barney Fife. Seanachai would have to be Otis the town drunk. Emrys would have to be the forgetful Floyd the Barber. Dalem would be Gomer Pyle, with his gun and a "Goll Lee" v42below would be Opie Lars as Howard Sprauge Nidan1 as the clueless Goober Pyle Going to have to go with MrSpkr as Ernest T Bass, runs in, throws a stone, and runs out. Not going to say who is Aunt Bee, I like my privates attached to my body. Anyway my tribute to howard, the voice of gopher in the Winnie the Pooh movies, director of Get Smart and hogan's Heros, With Six you get eggroll. If you didn't recognize his name, he was the actor that played Ernest T. Rune [ May 23, 2005, 11:06 AM: Message edited by: rune ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not that they have their own language really. It's just that the rest of us switched so we don't have to listen anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boo Radley Posted May 23, 2005 Author Share Posted May 23, 2005 Rune, you complete and utter ninny. That being said, I'll continue. Rune, you ignorant hillbilly. This is fun. But to get to the point, Rune you slack-jawed fondler of your own wizened joy department, Howard McNear PLAYED Floyd the Barber. Sorry to hear about Howie. I always thought he was a hoot.

Rune Oh come on rune, you know that Lars is now busily trying to paste photographs on his screen. Here's Howard Sprauge ... And my former layabout, bone idle Squire Papa Khann. Certainly a familial resemblance. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrPeng Posted May 23, 2005 Share Posted May 23, 2005 Well while you are all having a grand time I'm over here in an inadequately ventilated and cooled server room moving my loverly domino server from a fantastic IBM iSeries 820 - a machine which doesn't EVER go down unless I tell it to - over to a goddam 4 year old Dell dual PIII, because our new goddam masters are too cheap to 11. continue paying for the iSeries and @tilde. too effing cheap to even buy me a decent wintel to replace it. I'm just waiting for the bastard PoS windozebox to go down in the middle of the day so I can be really pissed off about it. or not. I don't care any more. I want the whole damn place to go belly-up. I want to delete admin, type "lock console" and then "down y" and walk away. I want them all dead dead DEAD!!! GAWD I HATE COMPUTERS AND THE PEOPLE WOT USES EM!!!

As I sit here nursing an oncoming cold in the sure and certain knowledge that it's only going to get worse and probably make me really sick and lose my voice (and me a professional trainer) your trials and tribulations are the one bright spot in my life. And I didn't get you anything. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[serious]Apple Cider Vinegar (organic is preferrable). Discovered it this year and have managed to fight off 3 colds so far after the early symptoms appeared. Take a shot of it in the morning and a shot at night (no chasers, you just have to stand the taste for 5 mins or so). It tastes like **** and that's exactly how you feel for the next 5 minutes after taking it, but it works.[/serious] That full stop is still missing, Dad.

MrSpkr Posted May 24, 2005 Share Posted May 24, 2005 We all knew dalem was dim, but this is ridiculous. I sent him the setup he was supposed to send me (I find things involving are accomplished much faster if you do everything for him). I specifically note that it is an Axis Probe and that he is playing the part of the Russki scum. His response? "BB or AK?" BB or AK? BB or AK? Huh? Since when did AK have RUSSKI scum in it? I mean, yeah, it has New Zealanders, which, as every thinking person knows, are little more than Odztraylyuns Who Couldn't Quite Find the Great Big Island, but Russkis? Sigh. Idjit.
