Subj : Computer Failure Haikus To : George Pope From : Daryl Stout Date : Thu Jan 20 2022 01:08:00 George, GP> My diaper is fine; speak to whomever I was quoting there. . . rtgw big GP> NeoLiberal(likely, or some such) crybaby; I'm not "Conservative" (or GP> "Republican"); I'm just grounded in reality(a reality that includes God GP> & the moral laws He has given us) Too bad a certain political party voted Him out of their platform. As for the diaper...it "DEPENDS". GP> Hopefully it's up to the task of the self-jinx you just called in on GP> yourself! It's like "The Sysop's Curse". When the Sysop goes off on vacation, their BBS develops "separation anxiety", and crashes 5 minutes after the Sysop has left the premises. GP> Ditto with anything I'm using -- if it won't update automatically, GP> every night at 01h30, I don't need it. I figured out the nightly maintenance glitch, so I was able to put several doors back online that were removed just days earlier. I also have added several IGMs to the local LORD II game, and sent you several messages in there. It was DIFFICULT to get that Armor and Weapon of KCD from Springfang's Lair. GP> Even so, I wouldn't spread them -- the butterknife stays in the GP> silverware drawer, & stool goes for a forced swim. . . I had to order some "toilet hats" to collect a stool sample to be sent off...but the Post Office lost the thing...or they threw it out. GP> Why would I? I don't work for them! Just like the stores wanting us to use the self checkout lanes. It'd be my luck, that I have 1 carton of a dozen eggs, but I'm not allowed to go through express checkout, as I have more than 10 items. GP> Yup, but the laws of stadards & measures are Imperial based (MPH, GP> gallons, etc; milk in pints & quarts; cream in cups(or half-pints?) or GP> pints. . . And, we like our Imperial measurements. My late Mom had said when she was in high school in the 40's, they were saying "the metric system will be here before we know it". Yeah...we know how THAT turned out. That's like saying "we should support the metric system every inch of the way". GP> In weather, your rain is reported in inches (kind of a big unit when GP> often you're measuring 0.01/inch, which doesn't translate well to GP> 1/16s. . . And, your plastic raingage can be different than an automated one, or like the one used by the National Weather Service, or at airports. GP> Odd, as it's the South that made RC so big. . . There was a song years ago called "Junk Food Junkie". During the day, the guy was Mr. Natural...health food all the way. But, after dark he broke out "a bag of Fritos corn chips, Doctor Pepper, and an old moon pie". Then he sat back "in glorious expectation of a genuine junk food high". GP> & do you see Sprite, or you're too close to Atlanta to see anything but GP> Coke? Is Ocracoke Island where you can get Coca-Cola with your okra?? GP> It was & so is our generation. It'd be simpler if people could wait GP> until marriage, as you have to be an adult to get married. It's true that "true love waits". GP> My adult step-daughter wanmts her mom & me to evaluate any future GP> wooers, because she knows we've lived a long time(longer than her) & GP> know the red flags that she has no clue about. . . (or might not see if GP> she's "blinded by love"-- she's beyond the age of being hormonally GP> messed up by recent puberty). I filled out an "application to date my daughter", and gave it to my in-laws before I married their daughter. GP> Like the farmer said, after drinking directly from the goat's teat, GP> "It's all a matter of personal taste." Just nipple that one in the bud. Did you ever get your QWK Mail working?? If so, I can send you a bunch of punny taglines...although they may be in the QWK Mail Files area on the BBS already. Daryl .... I've used up all my sick days, so I'm calling in dead. === MultiMail/Win v0.52 --- SBBSecho 3.14-Win32 * Origin: The Thunderbolt BBS - Little Rock, Arkansas (1:2320/33) .
