[Tony Monaghan]

Cleared cookies and even tried creating a new account but no joy. I had problems earlier looking at public profiles - insufficent privileges. I suspect these problems are related.

Hurry! Hurry! Without my Friday chat fix, I surely will perish!

Seems my password field is being blanked when I try to login, doesn't matter which browser, bummer...

[Styxx]

Well, at least I am not alone. Just a blank screen even after I ate all those chocolate chip cookies. :D

It's a conspiracy, Tony, I'm certain of it!

So are fried clams, by the way. Really insidious.

I can't get in either. POOP!

It's not Friday without chat.

:(

[DPDAN]

let's chat here

[DPDAN]

that won't be any good

[Styxx]

Load Class Client not found. :confused: What ever that means. Hey, I'm a Loading my class with clients that aren't really here! Kuk kuk kuk kuk! :D

[etLux]

:confused: What ever that means. Hey, I'm a Loading my class with clients that aren't really here! Kuk kuk kuk kuk! :D

Load Class Client not found?

Wow.

It's more serious than I thought.

Now only people with class can get in... and
it's singling out those of us who have none.

I just tried again and recieved the message, "Please deposit 25 cents for the next five minutes ... Please deposit 25 cents for the next five minutes ... I'm sorry, the number you have reached is not in service." Now I ask you, If I reached the number how can it not be in service? :D

[C J Pro]

let's chat here

Alright. Except each time I would post the topic would have changed...

Also, don't you find it strange that it seems to be the more important members who are unable to get into the chat? Take a loot, DPDAN, Styxx, and etLux are unable to get in. And yet, unimportant people like...me are able to get in. Conspiracy!

Also, you aren't missin' much. Just cptexas attempting to fix his computer.

I fed it the twenty-five cents it wanted.

But then it started asking me all sorts
of personal questions...

As Rodney Dangerfield said to his college professor...
"hey, why don't you call me when you have no class"
HA HA HA HA
man, he was funny!

[DPDAN]

POOP!
the message you have entered is too short, please lengthen your post to at least... nevermind

[DPDAN]

now it's telling me to lengthen my post

[Garritan]

Sorry about the technical difficulties.

Maybe we can just have a slow mo chat here for those who can't get in.

We'll extend the chat hours for those who missed all the fun. ;)

[DPDAN]

oh it said lengthen my message,, OK


POOOOOOOOOOOOP

[DPDAN]

OK Gary here goes.... click me (http://www.mydocsonline.com/pub/DPDAN/howdy.MP3)

While you wait ... :D
WHICH WOULD U CHOOSE?
CAKE OR BED?????
A HUSBAND IS AT HOME WATCHING A FOOTBALL GAME
WHEN HIS WIFE INTERRUPTS,
HONEY, COULD YOU FIX THE LIGHT IN THE HALLWAY?
IT'S BEEN FLICKERING FOR WEEKS NOW.
HE LOOKS AT HER AND SAYS ANGRILY;
FIX THE LIGHT, NOW?
DOES IT LOOK LIKE I HAVE A G.E. LOGO PRINTED ON MY FOREHEAD?
I DON'T THINK SO!
THE WIFE ASKS, WELL THEN, COULD YOU FIX THE FRIDGE
DOOR?
IT WON'T CLOSE RIGHT.
TO WHICH HE REPLIED, FIX THE FRIDGE DOOR?
DOES IT LOOK LIKE I HAVE WESTINGHOUSE WRITTEN ON MY
FOREHEAD?
I DON'T THINK SO.
FINE, SHE SAYS THEN YOU COULD AT LEAST FIX THE STEPS
TO THE FRONT DOOR?
THEY'RE ABOUT TO BREAK.
I'M NOT A DAMN CARPENTER AND I DON'T WANT TO FIX
STEPS, HE
SAYS.
DOES IT LOOK LIKE I HAVE ACE HARDWARE WRITTEN ON MY
FOREHEAD?
I DON'T THINK SO.
I'VE HAD ENOUGH OF YOU.
I'M GOING TO THE BAR!!!
SO HE GOES TO THE BAR AND DRINKS FOR A COUPLE OF
HOURS. HE STARTS TO FEEL GUILTY ABOUT HOW HE TREATED HIS
WIFE, AND DECIDES TO GO HOME AND HELP OUT.
AS HE WALKS INTO THE HOUSE HE NOTICES THE STEPS ARE
ALREADY FIXED.
AS HE ENTERS THE HOUSE, HE SEES THE HALL LIGHT IS
WORKING.
AS HE GOES TO GET A BEER, HE NOTICES THE FRIDGE DOOR IS FIXED.
HONEY, HE ASKS, HOW'D ALL THIS GET FIXED?
SHE SAID, WELL, WHEN YOU LEFT I SAT OUTSIDE AND CRIED. JUST
THEN
A NICE

YOUNG MAN ASKED ME WHAT WAS WRONG, AND I TOLD HIM.
HE OFFERED
TO
DO ALL THE
REPAIRS, AND ALL I HAD TO DO WAS EITHER GO TO BED
WITH HIM OR BAKE A CAKE.
HE SAID, SO WHAT KIND OF CAKE DID YOU BAKE HIM?
SHE REPLIED,
HELLOOOOO.......DO YOU SEE BETTY CROCKER WRITTEN ON
MY
FOREHEAD?
I DON'T THINK SO! :D

Try now. I think the admins have figured out the problem. DPDan is in. And there's Tony, but where is etLux in his manure-farmer duds?

Discouraged and deeply saddened at being
rejected repeatedly by the chat gods, I
decided to assuage my pain like I always do:
I went outside to load up the pickup truck
with some nice, fresh, pungent manure.

But the combination of chat trauma and
physical exertion exhausted me. It seemed
sensible to hop up on that nice soft pile
atop the truck and take a bit of a nap.

Didn't wake up til just a few minutes ago.

Worried that their son was too optimistic, the parents of young etLux took him to a psychiatrist. Trying to dampen the boy’s spirits, the psychiatrist showed him a dung heap piled high with nothing but horse manure. Yet instead of displaying distaste, etLux clambered to the top of the pile, dropped to all fours, and began digging.

“What do you think you’re doing?” the psychiatrist asked.

“With all this manure,” little etLux replied, beaming, “there must be a pony in here somewhere.”

Years later Swami Sosnoski returns to the heap emerging with a warm soft feeling...:D (and a funny smell). There's a pony in there somewhere!

We missed you at chat today! ;)

Gary's fanciful story has a grain of truth to it.

As a young man, I suffered deeply from all the
angst and turmoil that young men are entitled
to suffer. I was very good at it.

As I aged, though, my disposition matured and
improved. In fact, the etLux you see today is
best described as "relentlessly cheerful".

Curious about this -- surely unremitting cheer-
fulness must be the result of mental disease, I
thought -- I visited a pyschologist several years
ago.

He was rather mystified that I was concerned
about not being unhappy, but struggled to
assist me, nonetheless.

"Look," he said one day after several sessions,
"there must be something that makes you un-
happy, distresses you, something you really
hate to do..." Think of Bob Newhart, by the
way: the fellow looked and acted just like him.

"Beats me," I answered. "Got any suggestions?"

The shrink pondered for a few minutes, and then:
"How about shoveling s**t? Nobody in their right
mind likes to do that."

I came in the following week after having pur-
chased thirty yards of ripe, green manure, and
shoveled it all over the place. (Some will say
I continue to shovel s**t every single day in
this very forum.)

"Doc," I beamed, "what a wonderful idea! I've
never had so much fun in my life!"

And it's true. So much did I enjoy this that I
then commenced to dig up my septic system, by
hand, just for the sheer glory of it.

The psychologist I hear has since left the honored
profession of curing ill minds, and moved on to a
rewarding career in deodorizer sales.

You are not alone David.
I had the pleasure of unloading several trailers full of Horse.....er...... muck, on the garden a month ago.
It is strangely fun, seeing it rot down to produce good black soil.
The plants are loving it.
I think it has rather a clean smell. I mean...they only eat grass.
They never eat curries with 2 pints of Guiness.
..........do they????

Leave it to me to refocus a thread on chat, talk,
community... over to cows**t.

My personal preference is manure from bovines
exclusively fed asparagus.

Well, I finally left the chat. Now Gary is in there alone...kind of makes me scared to see what is going on in there right now...

I agree...quite a clean smell :) Much better than cow manure that's for sure. I've never seen a horse eat any curries...but every horse I've met would gladly take down the 2 pints of Guiness!! :D
