Joe User is "Joke User"
Get Your Free Blog! Next Year!
Friday, June 30, 2006 by TheGuyPC | Discussion: Virtual Communities
Everyone at Joe User is just so happy and fun! You have to have a sense of humor with a name like Joe User!
I was considering starting a blogsite dedicated to the discussion of marriage. I was going to call it Harry Crabs. My wife balked, so I digress.
There is really no virtual community to compare to the honest, open perspective that Joe User has. There should be more like it. This world would be a much richer, more diverse place.
I, as soooooooo many others are just grateful to be blessed by the absolute intelligence that this community offers.
Thank you so much. And to do it all for free?! Wow!

Saw that and thought I was dreaming....obviously not, eh! And doc, you might wanna reconsider dressing up like that, if ya don't want unwanted attentions from the rest of the crew. Besides, "I don't want these men getting any horny notions." (Telly Savalas, The Scalphunters).
Thank you...and yes, you certainly do. My brother was always happy and joking, a right larrikin and always fun to be with - which is why it was a total shock, devastating to the family when he took his own life for reasons unknown to us.
That was 5 years ago now, and though it was difficult for a long while afterwards, we've managed to move on, particularly for the sake of his 3 young sons. Everyone loved, admired and respected my brother, for his friendly and easy going personality, for his marvellous sense of humour, and these are the memories I maintain and cherish, rather than those of losing him.
In fact, regarding the Carmen Miranda scenario, reminds me of how my brother would have joked just like that...more to the point, he'd have actually enacted it with minimal encouragement, if any, just for the heck of it. Once he and a mate went to the pub dressed in their wives clothes, purely for a bet, just to see the shocked reactions of everyone there.

| Well, it was gonna be a hard secret to keep as soon as the crew started tellin' how you was running around the foredeck in that Carmen Miranda getup singing "Copacabana". I'm telling you, doc, you, booze, a chest full of clothes, and a karaoke machine are NOT a good combination! |

Oh Arrggghhh me 'earty, can be a landlubber fer just so long.....an' playin' battleships in the bathtub weren't hoistin' me sails anymore.
I 'appens ta like yer cap'ns crest there, Po'...bears a strikin' resemblance. I might get ye ta do one fer me cabin door, so's I'm not disturbed 'an get me a good night's sleep now n' then. That be the way me bucko, strike the fear of Davey Jones' Locker into the 'earts of them thar wenches, any gay cabin boys we might 'ave as well
Might be a good idea...an even better one, bein' he's got a certain flair, would be to get Po' to design it fer 'e....just pray it be better than that thar birthday suit he gave me.
And it still has me amazed that he captured how I look first thing in the morning ....me thinks he must've borrowed some of Brad's surveillance gear and hidden it in those icons of his I have up on my desktop.

He did, with the assistance of my parents, but that was a long time ago and Po' depicted it a little more accurately to reflect just how long I've been wearing it.
So glad I'm not the only one...tho looking at Po's depiction, p'raps I should think about a girdle so's I can see my keyboard a bit better.

We might be long past it, but we should never forget from whence this thread began, if only to be alert to the devious ways and means being employed to weed out those considered to be from the wrong side of the political tracks....those methods used to snoop on our political allegiances, personal habits while at our PC's.
BTW, Dr Guy, are you now dressing before coming to the site?....me, I've taken to wearing a thermal lined bathrobe and PJ's, and for good measure I've resorted to fur lining my tin hat cos temps here have been plummeting to minus 3c overnight.
As for more good hands, well yeah! Despite new anti-inflammatories for my arthritis, thus making it easier to chase them thar wenches around the decks, I still might need to put 'em over someone elses knee to administer the spankings.

I have to remind myself that you are in the midst of winter as we are in the mid 90s F (35-40c degrees to you metric people) here. So no fur lining for me! But I am wearing my silver jump suit so that it reflects all light from the detectors that Brad has installed.

Ok, men, here's the plan:
We make rum stops all along the western shores of South America, avoiding the Panama Canal entirely, as it will alert Mr. Wardell to our approach. We head up the eastern coast, making time for a lengthy stop in Brazil and the Caribbean islands, then we head up the Atlantic Coast of the United States to the St. Lawrence Seaway, then inward until we reach the state of Michigan. We will need at that time to acquire land based conveyances, and thus we will pillage all ships betwixt here and our destination. Once landed on the shores of Michigan, we will make our way inland to the offices of Stardock and one Mr. Wardell, and disable his "republican detector" once and for all, and thus restore democracy to JU, the Internet, and the world.

Sounds good to me, especially the bit about the Caribbean...always fancied a recreational stop there. Me thinks we'll have to promote you to Chief Recreational Officer....oh, and in charge of cannons, fer when we hit port and wanna get a head start on painting the town red. You can fire off the paint bombs.
As for disabling Brad's Republican detector, wouldn't it be better to modify it to detect treasure, benevolant benefactors? ;
Fuzzy!!! That's your department, but before he goes over the side, empty 'is pockets of any valuables....it be expensive runnin' this 'ere ship and keepin' up the rum supplies. That First mate of ours 'as bin demolishing that with a vengeance....and a few extra bob in our pockets when we hit Rio wouldn't go astray, either.

Good deal! As long as we get rid of the Republican detector in the process.
Maybe we can conscript Brad and Company to embark with us on our voyage. Always better to convert than exterminate, ya know?

What a brilliant idea, then we'd have access to all that technology...experts aboard to skin the sails appropriately to suit each occasion: ie, with balloons and streamers for when we're in party mode, and with the skull & crossbones for when we wanna strike fear into the hearts of party poopers, mutineers and liberal conspirators.
Oh, and of course, we'd have to make Brad an honorary admiral....Jafo too! I mean, we can't have the crew thinking they can continually get away with spelling mistakes when filling out their reports/work sheets, etc.
I dunno about that! Stardock has done a pretty good job on that one already....once they've got you in, their technology takes over completely and resistance is futile.
