The American people want Greg to have his own island and to never leave it, hence the sharks-infested waters.

The American people want Greg to have his own island and to never leave it, hence the sharks-infested waters. and to be able to take vacations from it and go anywhere free of charge whenever he wants to.

Thanks, American people! 

[MN Dave]

Thanks, American people! 

How unAmerican!

We are all Britons. And I am your king.

Well I didn't vote for you.

(I just watched that movie last week with my daughter, who first saw portions of it in school when they were learning about Medieval England.  )

Just ran into this beauty:

Miscast. If you fail to cast a spell, there'll be a 20% chance of some unexpected effect instead. A nice touch of realism.

Anyone who's ever watched Buffy the Vampire Slayer knows that.

This is so odd... ever have completely random people try to talk to you on myspace? At first I thought it was spam, but looks like a real person. Now I wonder if (hate to say this if it isn't true) she's a prostitute.    I mean, nowadays, why wouldn't they try to do their business online? It would be safer, wouldn't it?

I figured it out... really advanced spam!

here's the message I got back (not even acknowledging my odd comment about beating up homeless people with baseball bats)

So I visited the site and there aren't any bad pics, but to "add as her as a friend" it takes you to the signup page. I entered a bunch of fake information and then it takes you to another page. They need your credit card number in order to get you to have a "free membership to try it out."

So, right now, I'm reporting the site to the Web of Trust add-on, since no one has rated it yet, as I guess it's a brand-new scam. This way, when people visit the site, the wheel should be red and people will know.

If you fail to do any number of things, there is a substantial chance of some unexpected effect.

(Just saying.)

Let this be named the First Henning Law of Not Doing. And the First Law of Doing is like unto it, thus:

If you do any number of things, there is a substantial chance of some unexpected effect.

My name is Henning. And I approve this message.

My name is Henning. And I approve this message.

Lo! Here we haveth a Great Sign. For I did a veritable Number of Things (namely, one), and have achieved Some Unexpected Effect. Thus is the Prophecy fulfilled.

My message sent: "wow, spam, nice job!"
Checked my inbox- says the message was read (no reply).
Hilarious. 

[MN Dave]

I would sincerely like to apologize for any apologies I might have apologized for. Unless it concerned Mike.

[karlhenning]

I'd only offer a sorry excuse for an apology, anyway.

[greg]

I eat apologies.

[MN Dave]

I only listen to HIP Bernstein.

[knight66]

MNDave, Not sure I accept your apologiy for an apology, (if that is what it was),.....it displeases me when people are more amusing than I am.

Mike

I'm sure you're in a constant state of displeasure.

[knight66]

No, my diary for 19th Feb 2004 confounds that theory.

And here I was going to say, I'm sure that never happens . . . .
