Have Stardock's Coding Pigeons Gone On Strike??
cos everyone's outside paying more attention to the geese??
Sunday, June 8, 2008 by starkers | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Yep, that's the 64,000 dollar question: have Stardock's coding pigeons downed tools cos the geese (not to mention the spider-ducks) are getting too much attention? Or could it be that they've been into Brad's liquor cabinet again??? Now they can deny this - that the coding pigeons are into the grog - but there's evidence. I mean, how do they explain this....
Has anybody else got this... a page error that suggests drunken coding pigeons? I suppose it's perfectly understandable, really... that they're feeling depressed and lonely, and hit the bottle because the entire Stardock staff has become infatuated with the geese (not to mention the spider-ducks), but still....
Whether it's perfectly understandable or not, however, Brad, being the smart and very sound businessman that he is, should know to keep his liquor under lock and key when it's known there's drunken birds on staff.
For a start, pigeons are not known to be very good drinkers and are like dodos when it comes to flight... and those that do make it off the ground, well they ofen end up as aircraft jet engine food. So please, all Stardockers with liquor cabinets (and those with a sneaky flask in the desk drawer), please keep it under lock and key... I mean, you don't wanna be getting visits from PIMPS (Pigeons In Mortal Peril Society), now do ya. 
Actually, that's not my biggest gripe! I mean, slow and no-go page loads can be annoying, but having a constant echo in the gallery comments area is downright annoying and embarrassing.... like I can't control tha parrot on me shoulder and stop it from mimicking my every word. Yep, every word I say... now this really needs to be looked at cos I don't need no parrot to make me look like a fool.
***yes, I have cleared all my cookies, thrice or more now... but the damned parrot...er, echo persists (two same-numbered posts every time)***
Oh, and another thing! What's with these target specific ads? More to the point, which Stardock staffer has a friend/relative in Aussie pest control? And is trying to drum 'em up some business? Yeah, I was in Karmagirl's 'spider-duck' thread and I got this ad for an Aussie pest control company... and yep, I was signed in/logged on. So what's that all about? Yeah, I got bitten by a nasty spider once - and we have/had a ginormous spider out in the shed, buy I/we don't need pest control. We have an abundance of fly swatters about the place, and if the creepy crawly requires something more substantial, I have several pairs of size 13 shoes about as well.... so no more pest control ads, OK?
In closing, I have a word of advice for Stardock staffers... look afer your coding pigeons and pay them more attention. And it's not petty jealousy over the geese and spider-ducks, either. They're very sensitive creatures and they will go downhill rapidly when feeling rejected, dejected and real lonesome inside.
Oops, it seems one of our coding pigeons has slipped... er, has fallen over drunk again, and we cannot show the page you rquested...

I'd be careful of those split personalities if I were you... they're usually very inter-connected, and most times you have to take the lot as a package deal, which mightn't be such a good idea. I mean, it wouldn't be such a bargain if all those split personalities sent yer crazy with their constant arguing... and they do, believe me.
***BTW, ignore the one who says he's Napoleon... or he'll have you saying "not tonight Josephine" at all the wrong times
***
As for a 'cracked one, believe me, they're all cracked! I mean, why d'ya think my shri... er, his shrink told him they had to go?? Cos they're all cracked in the head, me old mate... totally loopy and cracked in the head.

I found some real bargains on 'me-bay.com'.Some fellow had multiple personalities,dozens of them,hardly used.He said his shrink told him some of them had to go.How do I know
they are legal?I don't want to end up with a stolen or cracked one.

I already have enough trouble,what with the voices in my head constantly fighting over who gets the window seat.Some of them don't even speak English!
I better just update the one I have when I can afford it.I know it needs more memory,and new video and audio components.1956 model,you know.

The mrsiss poked pin holes in them already. No more blowups for you!!!
I'm a vegan...poorpoorpiggies.
Just my luck!!!
I'd make a nice sling shot...double barreled.
I heard tell he was street walking these days...incognito. Even the street walkers won't have him.
Just your luck...
If it was stolen it would run away...but not with you If it was cracked...now that's when the fun begins.
Hey don't go sayin stuff about the poor deranged...those folks can't help themselves; there are too many of em goin in the all different directions at once.

. suppose that I'd best get in a bit of practice then, and dig out one of my old blow-up dolls from the closet. Hehe!

Um, nothing... but I shure does love them bacon sandwiches.
I'm a vegan...poorpoorpiggies.
In a rugged sort of a way I suppose... tho I think you might be out of luck there. When the 'piggies' job was finished, they patted each other on the butt instead of the back, so I think they might be gay.
Just my luck!!!
I could always stuff it full of cotton wool and use it for ear muffs during the winter months.
I'd make a nice sling shot...double barreled.
cos I think this one was supposed to have gone to our ex-PM, lil Johnny Howard
I heard tell he was street walking these days...incognito. Even the street walkers won't have him.
Ordering stuff from an outfit with the rather dubious name of 'getaf*#@ing_life.com'????
Besides, they'd probably end up sending me a replica of George Michaels' life or something.
Just your luck...

Yeah, I know just what You mean... can't get the window seat cos one of yer alter-egos jumped into it first... or if you happen to strike it lucky and get there first, they start cussing at you in some obscure dialect of an equally obscure language that was spoken in pre-historic times. I mean, you know they're cussing even tho you don't understand a flaming word they're saying... cos those guttural grunts and groans still mean eff you, in anybody's language.
I know exactly what you're saying here, too! I sure could use a few upgrades to get things running smoothly again. Thing is, it's not just the memory, audio and visual, either. What with things like incontinence and constipation, it gets real confusing cos I gotta take one lot of pills to get things going, and another lot to stop 'em.... and mid afternoons, when I get to dozing, I gotta take a Eyeagara to keep my eyelids up.

That's alright, I got a bicycle puncture kit...OK, Miss Inflatable 1985 mightn't look as good all covered in patches, but it's only for huffing and puffing practice so I'd learn to live with 'em.
Aw, poorpoorpoor brussel sprouts.
Yup, I know exactly what you mean. Once, when I was young and sewing my wild oats, it was raining prostitutes and I got washed down the gutter with a gay guy.
Never thought of that! However, I did have a somewhat belated thought that I could've modified it some to use as a 'male' supporter...bit late now, though, cos I sent it back.
Hey, I know that... bin one of them folks since birth... or not long thereafter.
I know that too...got quite a few of 'em running every which way but loose inside my head, hehe.
