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!

Now that be a wurd wot Gorg says! So it be true, then, ye Stardock fellers really do 'ave Gorg chained t' tha wall in yer brig.... doin' all sorts o' unimaginable fing to 'im.

I juss 'opes ye 'aven't skinned 'im.... while it took a bit o' gittin' used to at tha start, I 'ave become rather fond of e's pale gray complexion n' wouldn' want 'im any other way.

I mean, them thar big bug eyes of e's juss wouldn' look right if'n 'e wur pink or summat.

Wot d' ye reckon Doc, that us'd make better speed t' rescue tha poor lil feller now them banacles n' stowaways be gawn?

At Last Word Frum Gorg

Aye, Gorg 'ave used Stardock technolergy n' one o' thar coding pigeons t' send I a message. 'E says they be treatin' 'im orright, which I be glad fer, but I fears us mightn't see 'im agin.

'E n' Gorgina 'aves thar own room; them gets t' eat whatever 'em fancies; they gits t' sit around n' watch DVD's an' 'em gits t' play wiv all tha technolergy stuff. Bastards be treatin' 'em like a king n' queen so's 'em 'll want ter stay thar n' not come back t' tha Sister.

Me finks, if tha truth be knowed, they be thar pickin' e's brain fer alien technolergies wot'll 'elp 'em boost sales. Now that thar might be all well n' good, but wot about all e's shipmates wot misses 'im???

Orright, so Gorg don't need rescuin' after all... but I shure 'opes them'll let 'im n' Gorgina 'ave a vacashun t' come visit fer a bit now n' then.

Fer shure, Doc, thar be millions wot 'ave bin done in by Stardock technolergy... why, I even got some if it meself n' 'ave bin mesmerised by it. At first I though nought of it, that I'd not git t' me 'ammock of a night, but now I comes t' think of it, them thar Stardock fellers knowed 'xactly wot 'em wos doin' when 'em devised all this 'ere stuff.

It be like tha drugs ye be 'avin' when yer 'aves no drugs.... it be addictive an' 'em knowed it frum tha start. Wot be worse is thar be no antidote fer it... an then yer got all them thar secret agents wot calls 'emselves skinners doin' stuff t' make it even 'arder fer us t'git back t' a normal piratin' life.

Mebbe us should oughta storm Stardock any'ow... no just ter rescue Gorg n' e's missus, but t' pick Frogboy's brains fer technolergies wot 'll 'elp us git more wind in tha sails so's us can collect more booty faster.

Now that thar sounds like a plan to I... us'll storm tha fortress walls afore dusk or thar abouts n' git strait ter Frogboy's office wiv da thumb screws ta git them thar technolergies wot us needs ter become tha most feared pirates on tha 'igh seas. Aaarrgghh, us'd become invincible... more than a match fer them thar Froggies n' tha King's navy, I'll be tellin' of 'e.

An' I suggests ye take tha opportunity while tha goin's good... cos if'n us can't understand 'e all proper-like on tha day, tha ship's mistress 'll be tendin' t yer landlubber 'ides wiv tha cat-o-nine...aarrgghhhhh!!!!

Aye Cap'n. Good to see the missus allows you out again. How be she? And how be that new cabin o'yours?

Aye Cap'n. Good to see the missus allows you out again.


What d'yer mean... she allows I out again??? Ever since a 'curried cabbage' incident at our local supermarket last week, I bin confined t' me quarters 'til I promises 'er faithfully not t' be embarrassin' 'er in public like that agin (who, me??)...

I mean, 'ow be I g'wen t' promise 'er that??? 'Tis natural, after all... an' it wouldn' be right fer I t' go aginst wot muvver nature intended fer I t' do, now would it!

How be she?


Yeah, on a more serious note, mrs starkers hasn't been her usual chirpy self of late: what with a couple of bothersome health issues and suffering with depression over her daughter (my step-daughter) doing all the wrong things again. Still! It's a case of telling us what she thinks we want to hear... promising us faithfully to do the right thing, but then she turns around and does the exact opposite, again and again.

It has been a huge strain on both of us, not knowing what will ever become of her, and I've been feeling the effects of depression as well, but I keep fighting to keep my head above water so that I can be supportive and helpful, etc.

Oh well, can't help those who won't help themselves, so we're trying not to worry too much and get on with things as best we can... which is probably why I joke around and act the fool a lot. Life seems that much easier with a smile on your face... when you can see a funny side to things and are still able to laugh.

Anyway, enuff of that!! Yeah, the new cabin is great and we're happy with it... it's comfortable and convenient to everything we need. However, I should extract my digit and clean the joint up some so I can take some more pics to post. Yeah, I've been a bit slack lately, though I'm sticking to the excuse that I've had a good excuse... for not being my usual 'too sanitary' self when it comes to the housework just lately.

It aint natural for a geek to be so tidy!
