    So, we've all had some great conversations interrupted by that misbehaving chatroom lately. Mr. Pid wrote a great song on the subject...

    Feel free to pick them up again here. Or report your more surreal episodes of being booted for misbehaving.

    Current chat instability
    First off, I have no official relationship with this site other than as Just Another User. However, I am a software developer by trade and have offered this site's developers constructive feedback where I can, and where and when appropriate I do hear back from them as well. From that, I do know that there are efforts currently underway to improve the general stability and user experience on the site. And like most periods of transition, there are occasional hiccups. I'm relatively certain that the current chat issues are being caused by that, rather than by some user compromising the security of their their server platform. Understanding the code that they are using and being able to affect the code that they are using are two very different things. I'm sure they will get the current chat issues sorted forthwith. Just like I'm sure, bakalot, that you now realize that the usage of derogatory and insulting racial epithets on this site is not likely to be viewed as appropriate by the community here. Personally, I value the diversity of opinions and perspectives found on this site. I don't agree with all of them, and I'm also equally certain that there are others here who've seen more than enough from Mr. Pid as well. And that's fine, that's the way the wold works. We don't necessarily all need to like each other, but we should try to respect each other. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

    After being booted out of the chat about 10 times just because, by people who know how to use the open code. i was insulted just like so many times before in this thing called grateful dead chat. This time by three tenageers, i think, who did beguin the conversation talkin about his drunk mother while making jokes about my name. Even, i think, they used the open code, to suit the chat at their convenience. I really cant believe why this can happen, dont talkin about the insults (the daily planet), i mean why you, the dead.net people let this things to happen. And of course, im ready to get more bullshit, just for this. Shame on me for being part of this and shame on you for let this things happen.

    I kept getting a message about scripts being wrong, and there was I thinking that the chat-room was spontaneous. Is there something we should know?

Having a little repetition problem this morning? Your bug come back:-) Was at Feria-got home at about 7 this morning. Was a great experience, though a pain in the butt to get home. Were in 3 casetas-one quite traditional, one just plain boring, and one where we spent many hours, an "open" one belonging to a group for open-mindedness and toleration, where the music was not Sevillianas, but a mix of ancient Spanish pop classics, and a whole bunch of more alternative Sevillians. Learned the basics of dancing Sevillianas, and after enough manzanilla-could even imitate the more talented halfway decently. Was a great night, but think was enough Sevillian Feria for me. Will go to one in Asuna in May with a co-worker, which is supposed to be smaller. Is supposed to be alot more intimate-so will see. ********************************** Don't part with your illusions.

The wife and I just finished watching Kingpin. I'd fortgotten how funny it is. Anyway, in the course of the film, there comes a point where one of the characters has to roll a third time in the tenth frame. I explained to my wife under what circumstance the phenomenon of the Third Roll In The Tenth Frame occurs and its many and varied possibilitlies (alright, there aren't THAT many). When I finished my discourse she said to me "Wow, I'm glad I don't know that much about bowling." Think it's time to watch The Big Lebowski again ;-).

I had the sirius channel on in the background this afternoon. The topic was something like: 'Your memories of Winterland'. Towards the end of the show they interview a guy from the Bay Area named "Buddy". It's going to be rebroadcast on Tuesday at 5PM ET... Could it be? LOL

Back many, MANY moons ago when I worked the offshore oil rigs, I met an ancient gentleman who made no bones about his fondness for all things alcoholic (think he used the 7 days offshore to clean up). He told me the only thing he would never drink again was tequila. When I asked why he just smiled and said, "Tequila will make you take back shit you never stole!". . . Words of wisdom.

Instead, mix it with Nellie and Joe's key lime juice and lime infused simple syrup in equal parts. Also add 1/3 part Cointreau (or triple sec if you must) and shake with ice. Salt to taste if desired. Yummy! I once whipped up a couple of gallons of this for a party of about 40. It actually lasted almost an hour... Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

Tequila was awesome, (when I used to drink alcohol). I never had any problems while consuming that stuff but unfortunately, other folks I was around, while under it's influence, seemed to think differently. I came to the conclusion (once I came "to") that this drug shuts off one's brain but isn't nearly as effective doing the same on that person's mouth and feet. Apparently many different law enforcement agencies have confirmed this effect on myself and dispite my better judgement, I stopped (if I make it that long, it will be 19 yrs. on Aug. 13th, not that that really matters to me anymore - I do love that the day was the 13th). I still do milk and cookies, though. "Since you've all been such good boys and girls, I would like to take everybody in this entire audience out for milk and cookies. There are buses outside. Everybody follow me."

Ya well said, the only thing worse than drinking Ta-Kill-ya is throwing it up!!! Used to drink at a Kiwi Bar here in Shanghai and the Tequila shots were free!! Man i have woken up on buses, parks (with Chinese doing Tai-Chi around me), massage parlers, you name it. So with that being said, i do not drink Tequila anymore. This was a while back!! The comment above: “Tequila will make you take back shit you never stole!” Aint that right!! Good one.
