  1. Badges.

     

    Back around 98 or '99, we got another new version of wire. And on this one you could "friend" people. And for the first three or four months everybody was wanting to friend everybody else.

     

    I asked, several times, but nobody seemed to know. What is the advantage of friending people? I friend Utah Bob. What does it get me? What does it get Bob? Nobody knew. But everybody wanted to do it.

     

    Then about 2000 when we got the next version I think that friend crap went away.

  2. The last post was at 12 thirty-something yesterday morning. So that's Monday night or Tuesday morning.

     

    And I have not had to poop since Monday afternoon.

     

    Now I'm a fairly regular person. Once a day. But all day Tuesday nothing. And all day Wednesday nothing.

     

    Then when I found the wire was alive again, 5 minutes later I had to hit the head.

     

    Doo dee doo dooo, Doo dee doo dooo

  3. I thought it was me. Because my phone is about 6 years old, I figured it was no longer working right. I was going down this afternoon to buy a new phone, but I took a nap.

     

    Yes I don't need a new phone. That's good. I know I didn't need to spend the money.

    When C4 (Community for Coastal and Cassowary Conservation) was first founded, the team put up a statue of a male cassowary outside their office. A female cassowary then showed up, trying to “court” the male. She took his “rejection” rather personally.

    “On the third day, (she) basically said, ‘Well, if you’re not going to mate with me, then you’re a competitor in my space,’ and proceeded to kick our poor old fiberglass cassowary and basically punctured it in the chest and beat it down.”

    The repaired statue now lives in a safer space, inside the C4 office.

    DEI at its best

     

    I don't see what dei has to do with it.

     

    When I started elementary school, Jesse was the janitor. By the time I was in the 6th grade, he was no longer the janitor. He was the custodian.

     

    They have been fancying up job titles all my life.

  6. I always did. 45 colt, 255 grain bullet, 8.0 of unique. 44/40, 220 grain bullet, 8.0 of unique. 38/40, 180 grain bullet, 8.0 of unique. (I learned that from John Taffin - 8.0 of unique worked perfectly in the three major cowboy calibers.)

     

    Something I read early on. Mike Venturino. He said imagine you're standing there at the line and just as the timer goes beep, a war party of screaming Comanche comes over the berm. Would you be happy with what you have in your hand.

     

    I always was.

     

    Yes, if I had downloaded to mouse farts I could have been faster. But that wasn't how I liked to play the game.

    If you actually are a member of Facebook, and you are attempting to watch a video on Facebook, does it have all this crap stuck in the picture?

     

    The guy was doing something with that steam engine, and he was down at the bottom of the frame. But I couldn't tell what he was doing because all that #steamengine and the circumciser 3000 and all that other nonsense that's written all over the picture.

     

    Do I have to put up with it because I'm not on Facebook but you people that actually are on Facebook have a clean video to watch? Or is that on y'all's too?

  8. I have not seen any of the show. But I have seen commercials. It's a bit disconcerting.

     

    The background looks like the old west. The way they are dressed looks like the old west.

     

    But they are carrying Smith and Wesson hand ejectors. What???

     

    It makes sense. It's 1923, so the guns have been around for more than 20 years. But it just looks wrong.
