My dear, darling sisters, there is a reason why I am known as Aunty Brat. I used to just be known as The Brat. Ask Ivanova, all the kids call me Aunty Brat and most of my friends exhusbands fear me, at least the ones that aren't dead yet....even my exhusbands fear me....

Is it the way I had them served with divorce papers, or is it the way I served my friends ex's with divorce papers? Is it the rearrainging of furniture when I knew they would come home drunk and fall all over everything? Could it have been loosening EVERY light bulb in the house except the microwave and fridge? Could it have been removing every light bulb including the microwave and fridge and placing them in neat stacks in the garage? Ah....the joys I have had messing with the men who messed with my friends....and I haven't even gotten to the ones who ended up in jail.....

Happy Thoughts!!!

Laura

This is too funny. Let's hope the guys don't start messing with AuntyBrat or they'll be in trouble. But then again, they never listen to warnings....

DON"T START!!!!!! Already yelled at the other BOB on another forum!!!



Janet,
i copy this from my other chat where i am MOD that someone quoted....(Uh, GUYS, YOU BE QUIET, NEVER YOU MIND!!!!!!)

I did read that there are plans to add an animatronic Captain Jack Sparrow to PotC about the time the movie sequel comes out. It was one of the "Behind the Scenes with Jim Hill" blurbs in the Unofficial Guide.

If he looks any like Johnny Depp, I can just see Janet jumping out of the boat, into the water, swimming to him and grovel .....LOL!!!

Well aint' this a quiet morning...Had to bump this up..

Well Bob (izzi) have a great time on the Magic Sat if i don't happen to see you on Friday...

You be good to your wife on Sunday since it is her special day..(Happy Birthday Mary!!) She deserves a brunch at Palos on her day too!!

Also, don't get too drunk on champagne (what? no zinfidel??) while you are sailing and snorkeling !!! St Thomas has enough people to deal with, they don't need you to add their stress!!

[EileenAmI]

I think we're going the 5th, SUnday night. We are going to Jellyrolls the 7th (I think). Will be doing the CP on the 9th. I'll ask anyone I see wearing lime green if they are Melinda (only the women, of course)

In honor (honour) of Arlene (Mississaugamom):

You Know a Network Administrator When...


All of your friends have an @ in the middle of their names.

Your best friend is someone that you chat with online but have never met.

You see a beautiful sunset and you expect to save it to your desktop.

You are overcome with disbelief, anger and finally depressed when you encounter a Web page with no links.

You ask a plumber how much it would cost to replace the chair in front of your computer with a commode.

You feel driven to consult the "Cool Page of the Day" on your wedding day.

You are driving on a dark and rainy night when you hydroplane on a puddle, sending your car careening toward a flimsy guard rail that separates you from the precipice of a rocky cliff and certain death. You frantically search for the "Back" button.

When every member in your family has an e-mail account on the mail server where you work.

You find yourself typing "com" after every period when using a word processor.com

When you shut down your router and get an awful sick feeling like someone you love just died.

When you come home late at night from reconfiguring the servers and your wife draped a blond wig over your monitor and tells you to marry this.

You refuse to speak to your parents until they get e-mail.

Your phone bill comes to your doorstep in a box.

You laugh at people that have modems.

You move into a new house and decide to Netscape before you landscape.

You refer to going to the bathroom as downloading.

You tell the cab driver you live at http://123.elm.street/house/bluetrim.html

Your spouse makes a new rule: "The computer cannot come to bed." Not even the laptop.

You start tilting your head sideways to smile. :^)

You turn on your computer, and turn off your spouse.

Your spouse says communication is important in a marriage...so you install Instant Messenger on her computer. And when she leaves you, you're :-(

You begin to wonder how on earth your service provider is allowed to call 200 hours per month "unlimited."

And finally,

You know you're a Network Administrator if you've sent this page to your yahoo account.

It's Arlene turn.

The Network Adminitrators Song
(Based on the Major General's song from "The Pirates of Penzance", Gilbert & Sullivan)

I am the very model of a Usenet individual,
I've information meaningless and ultimately trivial,
I know the basic elements of alien biology,
And all the hidden secrets of the Church of Scientology,
I've seen "The Wrath of Khan" and every Star Trek film that followed it,
I moan about my Service card and how the cash till swallowed it,
About the laws on handguns I am sending off a counterblast,
With many cheerful facts about the way you can MAKE MONEY FAST!

ALL: With many cheerful etc.

I'll tell you why the Japanese are taking over Panama,
And why the USA is still a better place than Canada,
In short, in matters meaningless and ultimately trivial,
I am the very model of a Usenet individual.

ALL: In short, in matters meaningless and ultimately trivial,
He is the very model of a Usenet individual.

I post in alt.revisionism lies about the Holocaust,
I cut my .sig to twenty lines, I didn't want to, I was forced,
I really can't believe the "Good Times" virus to be mythical,
And Clinton's raising taxes which is, frankly, bloody typical,
I've upset several people on alt.flame, I really don't know how,
And sent a thousand business cards to Mr. and Mrs. Shergold now,
I have a very poor grip of political geography,
And absolutely no involvement (yet!) in child pornography,

ALL: And absolutely no, etc.

I've paid two-fifty dollars for the Nieman-Marcus recipe,
And told the Spanish tourist's tale about the toothbrush pessary,
In short, in matters meaningless and ultimately trivial,
I am the very model of a Usenet individual.

ALL: In short, in matters meaningless and ultimately trivial,
He is the very model of a Usenet individual.

In fact, when I know what is meant by "binary" and "FTP",
When I know how to decode porno JPEGs from a .uue,
When I can handle HTML, Telnet, mail and IRC,
And when I know the words initialised to form "http",
When I have learnt what topics are acceptable in talk.bizarre,
When I know more of Usenet than the tailpipe of a motor-car,
-
In short, when I've a smattering of elementary netiquette,
You'll say a better individual has never surfed the Net.

ALL: You'll say a better individual, etc.

For my technical experience, although I claim to know it all
Could barely serve to run the installation disk from AOL;
But still, in matters meaningless and ultimately trivial,
I am the very model of a Usenet individual.

ALL: But still, in matters meaningless and ultimately trivial,
He is the very model of a Usenet individual.

Gosh, I hate to admit you're right about anything, Mark, but a few of them were definitely used!

As for the "Network Administrator" posts: Yep - lots of truth there too!

Martin is very understanding of it, though! Of course, that's because he's a Network Administrator TOO!!!

Melinda(bmwdsny) and Bob(DVCmbr4) Have a great cruise and wonderful vacation!! Although you're on the receiving end of alot of our (my) jokes, this thread will not be the same until you guys return!!

Just try and get some sleep tonight, I dare you!! It's gonna be another night of Bob waking you up from sleeping in your chair by the computer kinda night!

Mark ~ You definately have too much time on your hands!

Maybe you should keep them in your pockets!

Where do you find these?

Scratch

 

[mark & sandra]

Scratch to be honest with you between posts I search for info on something of interest someone wrote, (Arlene- network admin., or Denverval-mapmaker) and so on.

Just for you Scratch-

An Ontarian wanted to become a Newfie. He went to the neurosurgeon and asked, "Is there anything you can do to me that would make me into a Newfie?"

Sure it's easy." replied the neurosurgeon. "All I have to do is cut out 1/3 of your brain, and you'll be a Newfie."

He was very pleased, and immediately underwent the operation. However, the neurosurgeon's knife slipped, and instead of cutting 1/3 of the patient's brain, the surgeon accidentally cut out 2/3 of the patient's brain.

The doctor was terribly remorseful, and waited impatiently beside the patient's bed as the patient recovered from the anaesthetic. As soon as the patient was conscious, the neurosurgeon said to him "I'm terribly sorry, but there was a ghastly accident. Instead of cutting out 1/3 of your brain, I accidentally cut out 2/3 of your brain."

The patient replied "Qu'est-ce que vous avez dit, monsieur?"
