This is a joke but it may make you cringe PJ. Seriously check it out. Someone on
Slashdot unkindly described the guy on the right as Skrek minus the green.

In 4 easy steps:
1. Tell a large community you're going to do something terrible and sleazy and
they can't stop you. Use lots of "fightin' words" whenever possible.
2. Make the community soooo eager to see you fail.
3. Give them their wish.
4. Repeat step 3 until the laughter kills us all, or the wishes are all
granted.
It feels good to climb up out of the mud for a little while and remember how
funny all this is from the right perspective :)

Hey, everybody!
Ms. Jones, you have a real opportunity here. I collect movie posters and swap
them out of their frames as befits my mood etc. I would love a movie poster
size image of this to put on permanent display.
The funds could go in an account to buy SCO. Does THAT thought make you smile?
It does me. Sell three posters for $20 each, and in a few months, you won't
even have to finance to own SCO. "Darl, you've been massaging my feet for
the past two hours, and I still don't hear you singing!"

keep getting the following error:

I've tried converting from pdf to pnm 3 times already, but
keep coming up with the same problem. Anyone able to help point me in the right
direction of how to correct it? I've also been unsuccessful in finding
anything.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi PJ,
Every morning I sit at my dining room table and read my paper's front section
cover to cover (The Globe and Mail, in Toronto), then I read the funny papers,
and finally I read my wife our horoscopes (mine for Aries and Taurus, hers for
Scorpio and Sagittarius -- we're both near the cusp). So, seeing links to funny
papers and a neat cartoon of you wearing your red dress made me smile.
You've had quite a week -- me too: my wife starts a job tomorrow after being at
home for the last two years, taking care of her boys. They're old enough to fend
for themselves, and I think she's feeling the wrench of not being needed anymore
(of course she's still needed -- she just feels that way).
I'm looking forward to watching the leaky ship SCO go down .. it's gonna happen.
Cheers!

In a

3 tablespoons of Realemon concentrate
one (very)
heaping tablespoon of demerera sugar (or any other dark brown sugar)
one
litre of cold water
Mix well, sit back and enjoy.
If I knew where to
send a good massage therapist, I would.
You definitely deserve some top-level
pampering and some relaxing down time. I'm guessing that this week has been an
especially stressful one

I apologize for anybody who read this when I posted about it before, but if
you're looking for humor, I suggest you check out the startling progress in
Wallace v FSF (you couldn't make this stuff up):
Remember the fun and wacky Wallace v FSF lawsuit, in which he alleges the GPL
violates the Clayton Act.
Wallace has now filed two motions:
Docket 5 - Motion To Amend Complaint - in which Wallace discovers that he is the
plaintiff not the defendant
Docket 6 - Second Motion To Amend Complaint - in which Wallace finally discovers
in which state the FSF is located, and in which Wallace also discovers in which
county he *himself* lives
Quatermass
IANAL IMHO etc
I'm waiting to see if Maureen writes this up as "proving" that
Wallace
has the FSF on the ropes[ Reply to This | # ]
