RANT HERE

[Rachel Peters]

I've resolved that it wasn't the knife I was licking (and I was actually licking my swiss army this morning... it had peanut butter on it).
I've decided this uncomfortable sensation is less like a paper cut and more like I've been french kissing a cheese grater that's been taped to an electric sander. ...and I haven't done that in years. So I don' t know what this could be from.

You've probably got a fungal infection from the knife? Is it the same knife you use to clip your cats claws with? Maybe the blades have got cross infected... Maybe you kissed a moustached artist with an iron surpluss and wire whiskers? I do that all the time - all the girls I kiss have beards as well.

I've just bought a pair of swiss army boots... when I got home the sole retracted and they became a pair of slippers...

[Rachel Peters]

ATTENTION! BIG NEWS!!!

I'd like to announce that my lip feels better now.
Everyone, carry on your regular business.
It's OK!!

followed by a long, involuntary shiver.

[jester]

What is it that makes you shiver? Canadians? or Having somebody touch your lips? I'm sure they would wear protective and sterile gloves.

Well maybe not sterile, but certainly the free ones you get for the derv at a gas station at least...

And was that a cold shiver or an aroused one?

[Magrat2005]

could have been worse Rach, he could have offered to do it, then your lips would have been ten times worse

NOOOOO!

Apple is building a massive tech support center in India! God Damn It!!!!
why can't the economies of the rest of the world just catch up to the US already so we don't have to deal with this outsourcing crap!

Jester, before you reply, don't.

[le pire]

I hate apple tech support. I'm always talking to someone in kandhar who says "ahh yess. you must wipe the hard drive yes."

Apple is going through some MAJOR transitions right now. If you've been thinking of buying a Mac... DON'T DO IT NOW. DON'T!!! Wait at least 6 months!!!

Stupid apple pissing me off more than microsoft ever has...

oh, and if you're in the Boston area, the apple store at the cambridge side galleria SUCKS donkey balls. All they know is iPods and they just want to hustle you... makes sense because they're in a bloody mall.

p.s. who the hell is kevin smith?

[le pire]

ok... here's a rant.



look guys, when you do your promo video, please don't use the Kill Bill vol.1 music for your soundtrack. especially that whoo hoo, hoo hoo hoo music. or that "battle without honor or humanity" track.

First off, the whoo hoo one gets old after about ten seconds (it was great in Kill Bill when dismembered arms and legs are flying - but not when you are just juggling three stupid balls) second it has been used in a bazillion TV commercials.

And that "battle without honor..." yeah, again, great in the movie because they was KICKIN SOME ASS, but your devil stick routine just isn't as interesting as some ASS KICKING. Also it has been used in a few commercials (for cars that definately DONT kick ASS).

This music is so played out.

DON'T use it.


I'm going to bed. Bye now.

What could little old unassuming me possibly have to say on the subject of telephone call centres in India...

I get lots of telemarketeers from Asia calling me lately. I always congratulate them on their English before politely asking them to remove me from their list...


I'd like to thank Apple for marketing the spreadsheet and changing the pace of technology and service industries... Well done them.

I think they will become an ipod dominated company, and then possibly fall the way of SEGA with complacency in a few years....

just a hunch.

god I hope not,
Ipod is the coolest invention of the last ten years by far
but it would truly suck if the one and only alternative to Microsoft became focused solely on providing funky music imagery
I love mac, I love using a machine that is virus free and actually makes sense, i also love its cool and sexy sleekness
I love how mac users help mac users
imagine a world with only microsoft
it just doesnt bare thinking about
I dont call the help centres, I call my friends

the mac community is close knit and helpful, kind of like the street performing community. Maybe that's why just about every street performer I know has a mac.

Jester is way off with the sega remark.

With macs now running windows you're likely to see quite more people switch. God knows why they would wish to use windows except for the fact that it's what they know already.
Or otherwise it's the gamers, far more gamers using pc and windows.
Having said that, Mac needs to up the game a little in practicality especially when it comes to repairing the efers. Long lasting good looks does not always make for long working life.

Mac owners are the new bikers right?

fried.

I have a problem. I'm willing to admit it. I know that I need help.
I ... I have an addiction to ruining other people's frying pans.
Did you know that when left long enough the metal surface of a frying pan can actually ripple?
Who knew that three unattended strips of bacon could cause so much damage?
Who knew that burning teflon would stink so bad?
I did.
Because it's all too familiar to me.
Even at 5 feet tall, I can generally diactivate a ceiling smoke alarm in seconds.
I've tried to hide my problem in the past. But burying a broken frying pan in the snow only works for a few months. ...and only for a few minutes, if it's still hot.
Please -- no matter what I may say in the moment, do not trust me with your frying pans. If you must, give me the cheap aluminum one, not the wedding present, non-stick wonder pan. I'll only hurt you.
I need a program.
But first thing's first. I need to turn on the fan.
