It's a bout time I came out of the closet for the 2nd time. I'll be there.

I used to run the helpdesk for Citrix System internal. We had this policy whereby you were supposed to lock your workstation when you got up from your desk. Sarbanes and Data Security issues ya know... At any rate, one of the neat gags was against someone who would walk away from their cube and forget to lock their workstation: #1: Take a screen shot of the person's desktop with all windows minimized using CTRL + PRTN SCRN #2: Open Windows Paint #3: Paste the screen shot into paint and save it as a JPG #4: Highlight all the icons on the desktop #5: Right Click and choose "Properties" #6: Set "Hidden" as an Attribute and click OK. All Icons on the desktop should then disappear. #7: Adjust the Start Bar at the bottom of the screen down to be completely minimized #8: Right click on the desktop and choose properties #9: Remember that JPG we saved in Step 3? Set it to be the wallpaper. #10: Lock the workstation This got really freakin incredible one day when one of my more challenged folks called me over and said he had rebooted his machine several times, but after every single login attempt, the machine would freeze at the desktop. I told him to reinstall the OS. I love my job sometimes...

My Chief Engineer just posted this email directly to the customer.... I laughed for about 20 minutes... Last names have been removed to protect the innocent.

Because it would be kinda silly to refer to the word screw as the F word wouldn't it... I'm confused about something. R. Lee Ermy refers to this place called Nambypamby Land in the GEICO commercial that he's in. Is there a place called Nambypamby Land? Where is it?

Enjoy college marching band man! BEST TIME of your LIFE! Sadly though, Nothing beats the Auburn University Marching Band Wall of Sound®

Win.

http://www.wtoc.com/global/Story.asp?s=13168389 There's a Vid out there too. It's about darn time we got something here in Coastal Empire... I hoped that space out on Gateway would have eventually been used to open a small ride park or something... Oh well. Beggars can't be choosers.

Allen, You hit the nail right on the head!! I was surprised to see this video... I was even more surprised that a thoughtful discussion on the subject took place on Fox Noise.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkU9n5GxCDk

I'll forgive you for going to UGA, but you BETTER get together with David and I to hit some parks or just come down to Savannah to visit.

Speak for yourself, I have a list.

What a wonderful trip report! I have a special place in my heart for this park. It's a well loved place by the owners, staff and GP.

My grandparents were both fantastic people and had well developed senses of humor. My grandfather used to speak at his USAF reunion (He dropped paratroopers over Normandy on D-Day). I pulled up a tape recording of one of the them and listed to it. Someone asked him how he and my grandmother were doing for being 82 and 86 at the time. Without missing a beat he said... Miss you Gramps... Miss you lots. Hope you're proud of me.

Decent Piano... $5000 Piano Lessons... $1000/year Spending the rest of your life performing with your significant other... priceless. I would so do this with David. *opens a piano savings account* http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XtyAsiZWktY EDIT: I was SO MOVED by this video that I started thumbing through youtube... and found this one. I cried with joy. Stuff like this gives me hope for the world... hope for love.

^ That's ok. As a democrat, I'll start lobbying congress to introduce a bill to bailout and assume majority ownership of plaid, then we'll let plaid pay us back in hues of yellow and red. But we'll only accept payment after a significant interest of paisley has accrued to off-set the tax burden. My favorite colour is Royal Blue.

I'm so politically correct, I like plaid.

Hey David! Savannah sucks right about now...

I've got a user in one of my environments that has 484 shortcuts on her desktop. We utilize roaming profiles in all our environments. Her machine is slow to load initially and the icons won't stay in the order which she places them. This woman works for Psychology office. There must be some kind of pill for this...

Jynxie: What about Schizophreniac the Whore Mangler? LOL Remember that absolute jewel of Z-List goodness?

Actually the phrase is "Queer as a football bat." Queer is defined as "curious: beyond or deviating from the usual or expected." A football bat is a deviation from the expected in so much as you don't use a bat in football. Therefore, it's not so much a joke as much as it is an observation and comparison. Yeah... WAY too much explanation into a very old phrase...

Hey Antonio. You're extremely talented. You have a firm grasp of the piece in front of you. One thing that irritates me though is when people write arrangements of pieces such as Canon In D. Not only has George very seriously watered down the piece, but elected to re-write a classic a whole step lower than Johann Pachelbel's original. You're more talented than this. Pull a copy of the original and work it up. You're better than a watered down, half-rate Steinway clinician.
