I never touch the stuff. But I can’t see any way to continue this thread in good taste… maybe I’ll switch to one of those old eighties computers, so that I don’t corrupt this one’s morals. A Commode-Door 64 would fit right in.
Out-gunned? That’s bul$let.. You’ve got that back-wards, John.
(Sorry for not getting back, computer trouble. Lost my crypto keys again too, after the remodeling something happened to half my backup disks; I hope the workers didn’t grab ‘em. They’ll probably be puzzled by the Linux distros, my crypto keys though are missing. I suppose they were hoping on snagging warez or something else illegal.
(Funny, for someone who hates the *AA, I don’t do illegal activity of that nature anymore; I hate them for inconveniencing paying customers; the only thing their DRM activities do, also for persecuting children and getting college students expelled via harassment, and encouraging computer software makers to mangle operating systems. Half of Vista’s problems are simply because the movie and music MAFIAAs think computers shouldn’t be able to do elementary operations like move things around in memory in an efficient and bug-free manner.)
I managed to restore most of my iPod music between a month-old iTunes backup disk, eMusic’s handy ability to redownload stuff for free as long as you subscribe (why does Amazon and iTunes make you pay twice to re-download stuff, especially in the case of iTunes when the system is adaquately DRM’d anyway?) and Copytrans to move stuff back from my iPod into iTunes. (An excellent program, but I shouldn’t need it. Thanks Apple.)
Of course, now that Amazon has all the labels on board, the iTunes store is probably going to be history here for the most part, and I’ll back up my MP3s more conventionally directly from folders, with less and less of my collection DRM’d or at best accessed from a proprietary database only with transfers and backups only from iTunes and special non-free (in both senses) programs. My 3rd generation iPod Nano is nice, and my particular model is fairly priced with the competition, but it *would* be nice if it were a glorified thumbdrive with earphones. )
I think it’s time to pull the drain-plug on this one. It has finally come to a (shower)head, and there are faucets to it that are just too disturbing to consider.
Yes, or until we decide to (Bor)ax it. (Which the spam-catcher nearly did — your comment was “in moderation” because it had been so long since the last comment on this one.) It’s (shower) curtains for you, my friend.

I note the wedding was in Times Square. Since Flushing, Queens is also in NYC, maybe the bride is from there?
December 25th, 2007 at 1:28 pm
And, being in New York, I’m sure there were several homeless people attending the wedding too. You know… floaters.
(Okay, this thread is quickly sinking to gutter-levels.)
December 25th, 2007 at 6:12 pm
On Macy’s day there’s a lot of… floaters in NYC. *This* kind of floater gives the saying “raining on their parade” a whole new meaning though.
December 25th, 2007 at 11:33 pm
This conversation is quickly vanishing down the toilet, so I’m heading for the exit while I still can.
December 25th, 2007 at 11:55 pm
Why stop? This thread is on a roll!
December 26th, 2007 at 2:52 pm
Because it stinks.
December 30th, 2007 at 6:28 pm
Stinks? You’ve been having too much pot.

You mostly find C=64’s in the dump nowadays, this is giving Pee-Cees a whole new meaning.
January 1st, 2008 at 1:30 pm
I see this thread is plumbing the depths of muck. Put a lid on it!
January 3rd, 2008 at 4:58 am
That would be relieving, wouldn’t it. I won’t give it a rest (room) though.
January 3rd, 2008 at 9:58 am
I mean it: can it. It tanked a long time ago, I don’t think it could sink much lower.
January 5th, 2008 at 7:43 pm
Getting the runs? You’ll never rear-end this thread!
January 5th, 2008 at 7:55 pm
You’re flying by the seat of your pants, and you’re starting to crack.
January 6th, 2008 at 8:07 am
You haven’t bowled me over, make me give up after I decided to take the plunge?
January 6th, 2008 at 3:57 pm
I don’t know about taking the plunge, but you’re certainly circling the drain.
January 6th, 2008 at 6:25 pm
Pipe down! You won’t make me say “au reservoir”!
January 7th, 2008 at 10:42 pm
I think you’re tapped out.
(With friends like you, who needs foe-cets?)
January 12th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
You think you’re such a whizz at pun threads, well, in this one u’r-in-e for it!
January 13th, 2008 at 8:53 pm
Ha — I’m a-head of you already. You’re just full of piss and vinegar. You might as well give up, you’re writing nothing but crap now anyway.
January 15th, 2008 at 6:01 pm
I fart in your general direction!
January 15th, 2008 at 6:27 pm
“And wave my private parts at your aunties!” Throw in the towel friend, you’re out-classed.
January 17th, 2008 at 5:35 am
I’m not terry-fied by your towel remark, of course, this thread *does* need its mouth washed out with soap…
January 17th, 2008 at 8:27 am
And out-gunned. Not to mention out-housed.
January 31st, 2008 at 6:01 pm

Generate new keys, I’ll get them via a secure channel, as last time.
February 1st, 2008 at 2:52 pm
To keep the thread rolling, a secure back-channel? What about if someone, um, cracks that?
February 3rd, 2008 at 7:44 pm
If you drop your keys in the bowl, I’m not fishing them out.
February 3rd, 2008 at 11:28 pm
Don’t (toilet)brush to conclusions…
February 4th, 2008 at 11:18 am
Oh (sham)poo, you’re just no fun. I should have expected that, I know I can always count(er) on you to be a wet towel.
February 4th, 2008 at 2:12 pm
Hence, this thread is the thread of the bridal shower.
February 4th, 2008 at 6:46 pm
If it were, I’d expect it to be a lot cleaner. “(Gr)out, (gr)out, damned spot!”
February 7th, 2008 at 4:16 pm
This thread doesn’t fit that mold I suppose. Mildew better next time.
February 7th, 2008 at 11:04 pm

February 24th, 2008 at 8:22 pm
No, Ivory think this one could flow indefinitely, until we get tiled of it.
February 26th, 2008 at 1:50 am
Yes, or until we decide to (Bor)ax it. (Which the spam-catcher nearly did — your comment was “in moderation” because it had been so long since the last comment on this one.) It’s (shower) curtains for you, my friend.
February 26th, 2008 at 5:15 pm
“Shower” has already been said in this thread!
I feel like I’ve won… Dial for dollars.
February 26th, 2008 at 6:26 pm
“Shower curtain” hadn’t, so you’d better Irish-Spring into action again.
