Glad I'm not the only one dancing FollowMal, I've missed you all! It's mighty homey out here in the black. I just hope it will be here tomorrow, I want some info on any shindigs after the screenings.

And THANK YOU Haken, you should get an Browncoat's Medal of Honor of some sort.

Oh, thank goodness *kissing monitor*--the last few gorram days have been HELL. Great job Haken. If there is anything your fellow Browncoats can do to help out PLEASE let us know.

HAH!! Look!! I've discovered somebody (on FFF.net) who's over 40 - however, it's obvious you're not over 50

because that's what it takes to know that the corRECT quote is, "You have violated Robot Rules of Order and will be asked to leave the future IMMEDIATELY(!!)"

hehheh...

So I've decided that, after finally getting caught up with Firesign's material of the last few years that... they were So Far Ahead of their time when they started (everyone's time, really) that... well, they've managed to STILL stay ahead of our times, today. They've only gotten better and better. I cannot recommend http://www.firesigntheater.com/ enough although... I will {spoil} the intro by saying that, if you didn't already know this, they WILL educate you in the fact that, "Everything you know is WRONG!"

Enjoy!

May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

Celebrating might be a bit premature. I am still having a lot of issues getting into threads and responding. I keep timing out and getting error messages.

So that's why the site is down. Extortion is such a dirty word.

Or else sabotaged by denial of service attack by NSA, to cull FFF Army from attending events and buying DVDs. NSA confessed they do have embedded offices at ATT, to tap every phone call and email, and Bill Gates makes billion$ with NSA backdoors in Windows.

CIA's MKULTRA Project Monarch mind kontrol slave program must remain Top Secret, ya know. Even it it means Fox cancelling FF before its first episode, and Universal banning Serenity 2/3/4/5/6. Universal, of course, is owned by CIA's Carlyle Group Pentagon profiteer, owned by CIA director Sir George Bush Sr Knight of the British Empire, British prime minsiter John Major (MI6), the German Queen of England Elizabeth Sax Coberg Gotha (MI6), the Saudi royal family (MI6), and the Bin Ladens (MI6/CIA).

Is it coincidence my boot harddrive was wiped out this week during this FFF.net meltdown? My own computer was slowing down on all websites, not just FFF, so I did a routine disk cleanup. Now it won't start at all without a new harddrive or HD format. Is that what I get for posting dozens of video links for video downloads re MKULTRA? The last video I watched on computer that day was Manchurian Candidate 2...

HAKEN

Likes to mess with stuffs.

Just a quick message while I can get in.

The problem with the site/database is that it can't take any load. I can't figure out why yet, but it's not hardware related to the server since I moved both the site and the database onto different machines.

I ran all the checks on the database itself and everything is coming back looking good.

The only thing I haven't tried is on the network hardware side, which are the firewalls, switches, and routers. That'll take a while to test since the slow down happens only where there's a heavy load on the server.

Will keep you all posted.

Thank you Haken!

Should we be trying to get on the site and post... or should we sort of duck in from time to time and read and not actually be a burden to the site?

Now I am learning about scary.

Thank you, Haken! This is the first time in a whole week that I've actually been able to access this site at all. I had all these e-mail notices of responses to my thread but I couldn't look at any of them!

Thanks for all the time and effort you're putting into this. I hope the site works tomorrow so I can order the Serenity DVD from here.

Good luck!

Whoa... check-me-out! I finally got through the blackhole to be able to ...y'know... see your message. I mean, it took a couple o' days of

ing but, the fact that Haken has done such a great job for so long makes this site freakin' miraculous, if y'ask me.

Good thing, too - about getting through I mean - because otherwise, who would let you know that "that was spoken like a true motor-operated pushover" and then call you, "Nancy"? Very important, y'know?

Who (I ask, "Who?!?") would "tell the President to put it between two slices of bread ...and EAT it! Eat it RAW!...
...Raw! Rah! RAH!" ...I mean, if I hadn't gotten through 'n' all...

Woo hoo! U were right... so much better at home...

Yea!!! *bounce* *bounce* Ain't it grand?! So, did ya get to go to the game or did ya have a 'watch the game' partay at home?

Thanks as well. I think we're gonna have problems until we start getting some younger folks on the team. Unfortunately we lost one of our better ones early this year with whatever his heart keeps doing.

And I do miss watching Aaron. Been watching him play since his U of M days. I only get to see what ever games are on CBC these days. I dropped cable at the same time the Wings signed an exclusive contract with a cable company, I've actually seen more of Toronto and Montreal in the past 3 years than I have of my own team.

Watch/listen to your local news & such. The guys usually take the Cup out to public places so the fans get to see it and such as well.

Unsardonic, you have impeccable taste in your choice of weird, random and totally outragous entertainment... here is an old thread in which i was looking for a little understanding of my addiction that is Firesign Theater... ( a cry for help... a lost soul in the darkness grasping at straws and laughing all the way...) Not many responded to the call, but those who did are to be commended for their bravery...."Man, woman, child.... all up against the Wall of Science...let us pause"

I know exactly what you mean.

Me too! Somehow my day isn't complete without visiting FFF, lurking on the threads and every now and then chipping in with some comment, or even some general gibbering.

Never had withdrawl symptoms from a website before!

Penguin had the coolest gif earlier in this thread - so I'm gonna copy it and put it here too, just coz it was so gorram appropriate!

Unsardonic, you have impeccable taste in your choice of weird, random and totally outragous entertainment...

"Wha', thenk yew, thenk yew... thenk yew vurry mush..."

Now, if you don't know these particular works, I cannot... canNOT... recommend highly enough the following two albums:

"Sir Henry at Rawlinson End" (and it's related works) from the very late, incomprehensibly great Vivian Stanshall. Play around with these three links for awhile:

http://www.mustardweb.org/issue1&2/stanshall.htm

http://www.gingergeezer.net/home.html

http://www.rawlinsonend.org.uk/

The second album is Lol Creme and Kevin Godley's "Consequences," one of the most amazing (& amusing) concept albums ever recorded. Besides VERY interesting music that the ex-10CC guys did with an instrument of their own invention (& patenting - the "Gizmo" - the album was originally designed to be a ..."sales" demo... for the instrument - there's a big Wikipedia writeup on all of this). However, as it grew (eventually to three records), they enlisted the help of another late, great Brit-comic, namely Peter Cook. On the album, he performs all the (many) spoken vocal parts (except for Lulu) - rather like a lot of Peter Sellers movies where he performed a dozen or so totally distinct parts. Moreover, the got Sarah Vaughan to sing SO-OO-ooo smokey... oh wait... she ALways sang SO-OO-ooo smokey.

You can occasionally find this album used or new via Amazon or eBay. I got my new one from an Amazon vendor for $35 - but, mostly, it sells for closer to $200. Word of caution - there is a recent re-release which is abridged - it only caontains the instrumental pieces with all of Peter Cook's wonderful comic masterwork deleted. The full 3-record set was only released by Universal Music's Special Music label - as a 2-cd set - a couple of years ago and, if one wanted to expand their experiences in "weird, random and totally outragous entertainment"... THAT'S the one to get.

Forgive my ramblings... I will now check out your thread-link...

And lastly...

watch Adult Swim's "Squidbillies" "or your friends will think you're stupid, inbred stacks of meat."
