Apparently our good friends and occasional lovers over
at BAMF have had their name stolen out from under them by
the laughably under-regulated domain name registration
system. When they tried to complain to their provider,
Freeservers.com, the response was, "Hey, it's free,
what the fuck didja expect?" Until Sharkey flings
enough crap to frighten off the invading DNS
rustlers, the Badassmofo
page is still alive and kicking.

On a completely different topic but some what related.. In highschool we had a group of extreme stoners who did nothing but hang out in the grass and play hacky sack. For some reason they went and formed an actual official club at school which was called "The Hack Club" (THC) and announced over the school bullentin as a fun new club to join. After about a month someone finally pointed it out to the school admin, the group promptly changed their name to "Lazy Sacker's Den" (LSD) and announced it again over our school's internal TV system, I don't think the admins caught onto the last name change.
I don't know why someone would fuck with badassmofo, they have always stayed pretty neutral in things. Or maybe they forgot to pay there bill. Either way badassmofo is down for the time being.
I know a lot of people in the Tech Support field visit here. Shit even if you don't work in support you use a computer. A friend at work has an awesome site for trouble shooting pretty much any popular internet windows issue. It's got screenshots for WinCE, NT and 9x plus the popular internet apps used on those platforms. It's a great resource, check it out at http://www.supportmechanic.com.
What's worse than an army of ants crawling all over your body, while you lay there tied up? These fucking hives I got when I went out last Saturday night. Know why they call them Hives? Well I don't but it feels like a hive of something is crawling on my skin. I've never been allergic to anything before, went out to a bar and came back to find out I was covered in hives. That day I ate Pizza, Chicken, Corn Nuts, Pumpkin Seeds, and Beef jerky, not a diet fit for a king but nothing out of the norm. Now I'm covered in itchy hives and it doesn't help that I run from morning classes to work until midnight itching the whole time. I may have to get medical insurance and see a doctor.
In the study on rats a research team from Complutense University and
Autonoma University in Madrid found that marijuana's active ingredient --
called THC -- killed tumor cells in advanced cases of glioma, a
quick-killing cancer for which there is currently no effective treatment.
But, the scientists stress, it is unlikely that lighting up a joint will do
anything to prevent or cure cancer.
So your asking how does this help me.. I don't have a brain tumor you say. Wait you may have a rat (they are the total rage now a days.. You know with that whole Goth scene and all) and hell the bugger may have some sort of tumor. All those times you sat around getting it high and watching it pig out on junk food and watch TV. You could of been slowing its growing tumor while you where having fun laughing at the rat.
Side Effects are an oily discharge, irritable bowel, and an inability to control bowel movements. Oh wait or is that that new drug on TV that blocks fat and make you more social while curing your hay fever.
I have it on good authority that the current
problems with the Badassmofo
web page have been caused by this woman. Known only as
Big Bad Mama, she has infilitrated the BAMF compound,
and has disabled their internet connection by sitting on
it. She has vowed to keep the public from their daily
doses of Baddassity until she receives her request of large doses of
fudge, intravenously. More news as it arrives.
In other news, she's still sitting there.
Well it's about time that I post again eh? Life has been so busy for me
just school and work school and work. Yuck! If anyone finds out the date
that the kingdome in Seattle is slated to be blown up please
email to let me know. I plan on going upto Seattle and watching it happen. I will try and get pictures
to post of the site for everyone also. Anyways someone sent me this link
that I belive to be the single most useless use of wabspace ever!
I'm OUTTIE!!

I'm not a huge X-files fan, but when I have the time and if I'm still sitting down after Malcom in the
Middle I may watch some of it. I didn't catch to much of the episode last night just the end when Scully was blasting away half nekkid cowgirls with the guest apperance of some sort of tank. The only question I have is did Mulder steal his outfit from Wesly Snipes Blade outfit? Go ahead and let me know what actually happened and what it was about in the Message board.

I just had to fit a post in.. so down the road we can say we never missed a day. I'll update tomarrow.

I'm back on the west coast again, thank goodness. Atlanta
was warm, but that's about all you can say for it. I saw
more Mexicans waiting at gas stations for field work than
I saw young upwardly mobile IT robots. Nice to be
back in hipp-dippy fun rain-land.
Wow today is a first day that I got no email (spam not counted) I guess lack of posting will cause that. Only another week left of this then I can resume life as normal. So if anyone wants to bless my mailbox with an email, go for it. In the mean time you can entertain yourself with my latest PenIs article I just put up. Pretty much a summary of all the tech support calls I have posted plus a new one.
Hey check it out I also made a new addition to the crapper. Ever felt like you just couldn't last in bed? Think you made need that Energizer edge that keeps you going and going? Check out the new crapper clip and you'll know what I mean.
In other news, a recent article in
the
Times claims that
DRUG-DEALERS who produce homegrown cannabis
and trade over the
Internet have emerged alongside Colombian drug barons and Afghan warlords
as players in the international drugs market.
Fascinating. I wonder exactly how they're trading over the
internet. Cause I don't think I've seen them. Do they have
a webring? Maybe they use a special code with which I'm
unfamiliar. Like what if the code is Pokemon cards? Like
one Pokemon card would equal pot, and some other Pokemon card
would equal LSD, and so forth. In fact, that may be the
only way to account for how much people pay for Pokemon
cards. I think I better go inform the Feds.

"Six-year-old Jake Robel died Tuesday after getting tangled in the car's
seat belt and being dragged for five miles at speeds of more than 80 mph.
The carjacking ended after other drivers surrounded his mother's stolen
Chevrolet Blazer and restrained the suspected carjacker." "The accused
carjacker, Kim L. Davis, 34, was charged Wednesday with second-degree
murder, second-degree robbery, child abuse and kidnapping. He was being
held without bail."
I don't even know what to say about that. I can't imagine a much worse
way to go (having been a skateboarder and experienced pavement sliding
first hand). I'm personally surprised that the people who stopped the guy
didn't beat him to death on the spot. Please, if you get nothing else
from this post, don't ever, ever, ever name a boy Kim. Story taken from
CNN.com.

Oh! If you haven't seen Zack's superfriends movie yet,watch it!
You know, there's nothing like an awards show to remind you what a
bunch of self-serving, sycophantic sphincter-munchers the
entertainment industry is made up of. The Grammys were on last
night, and I watched as much as I could stomach before
vomiting all over my Backstreet Boys album collection. A million
garage bands and amateur
techno DJs toiling away on mp3.com, and Christina Aguilera
is the best new artist of the year? Well, maybe I'm not really
qualified to comment, since I generally mute the TV every time
she appears, but there were chicks in my high school glee club
with better voices. And while
I'm on the subject, how can there be a
competition between Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears when
the two are so obviously the same person? At least Britney was
sensible enough to get herself a boob job, thus guaranteeing that
no man would ever have to go through the painful process of paying
attention to anything she says. And don't get me started on
Santana. That dumbass "Smooth" song they released is a) exactly the
same shit they were releasing back when their careers failed the
first time, and b) the blandest, most inoffensive pop music
on the radio. It's not salsa, and it's not latin music; Carlos Santana
is Michael McDonald with an accent. And no wonder that song won, they
play it every fucking eight minutes on every fucking radio station,
24 hours a day. If I had to hear Rush Limbaugh perform the Star Spangled
Banner by making farting noises with his armpit as often as I've heard
that odious, formulaic Santana crap, I'd probably hum along with it, too.
And on a final note- I was very happy to see Kid Rock perform, because
it just confirms what I've always said - he was, is, and always will
be a mainstream pop band. I don't care how many times he cusses,
I don't care how many drugs or hookers he gets arrested with, when you
perform on the Grammys, you are, by definition, a pawn of the corporate
overlords. He tries to be a badass, he tries really hard, but you just
can't be a Rebel without a Cause after your soul has already been
leveraged and hocked. In fact, the only thing about his act that isn't a
bland rip-off is that rather excitable midget lad he carries
around with him, and even he would suck if not for the fact that
midgets kick ass.
How many of you remeber Super Friends? You
know, the cartoon with superman, batman, aquaman, wonderwoman, and a
couple of stupid kids and their dog. Anyways, as if that wasn't enough of
a blast from the past, I dug something up for all of you out there to
enjoy. Just click the link, have a bud and watch the game.
I can't believe I am still standing after today, well my hell continues of pretty much working/school 19 hours each day and sleeping/being at home for 5 hours. So if this update is completely lame, not my fault, blame the side effects of Coffee and NoDoz.
Whats worse than going to a video dating service?
Well looks like swinging Millionaire Rick Rockwell has gotten dumped by his new wife.
quote:
Well it looks like the Palm family got a little more colorful! It seems that Palm has finally
introduced a color version of their Palm Pilot. (about time!) This little baby is gonna run
you about $450 bucks. Ouch huh? since you can get one of their wireless internet units for
the same price. I think I'll take the wireless internet ready one!
If yeah wana read more about it click

Going on national television and having some women parade around as potential wives
But whats worst than that?
Getting dumped during the honeymoon of that wife that you bought on national television
Have you ever gotten to the point where somebody pushed your buttons and you said, ‘I’ll kill you’? That’s what that was,”
Rockwell said. “It doesn’t make it any better. I’m not proud of it. But I learned a lot from that relationship.”
Wow, ok buddy lets just calmdown here a bit. And I still can't figure out why she didn't stay. When a loved one says 'I'll kill you' thats better than a dozen roses and a box of candy. Go ahead and read all about it here

Eduardo-
btw- Does anyone know wtf "burn the film" means?
I'm glad you're not offended; I've had a few mails about that.
The fact is, Brazillians do not (so far as I know) behave badly
or anything. However, the Brazillians and South Americans who
have made it over to Japan tend to be poorer laborers, and they
tend to live together in semi-rural communities (as do Japanese
laborers), so they are viewed as a lower class-- poor, and therefore
possibly dirty or dangerous. Actually, its not such a hard-core
stereotype; in Japan, a country that is like 98.5% ethnically pure,
you would expect more racism than there is. You might live here a
while and not encounter any discrimination, or you might not. But
at any rate, what stereotype there is not would not help out anyone's
chances of scoring.
Some people thought that first paragraph sounded callous, but I
was trying to emphasize how class- and race- conscious certain segments
of Japanese (or any) society can be; particularly the young female segment
that goes to GasPanic looking to sleep with foreigners.
But, don't take any of this the wrong way; please feel free to
become a successful doctor or movie star and come over here and change
everyone's stereotype!

fen
Mail me.
Well folks, I just got back off of vacation. Well, actually I just had an
extra day off, but it's amazing how wonderful life feels when you don't
have to be at work on a work day. Anyways, I went up to Walla Walla, WA
with my fiancee to meet what's left of her family. It went pretty well,
all things considered. I would never, never, never, never live in that
town, but I didn't get beat up by the hicks or anything, so I guess I did
okay. We went to a bar to meet a college friend of hers and play some
pool, and it was quite the experience. There were about six or so drunk
hicks around the table next to us and they were being a loud, rude, inbred
bunch (I don't have any proof of the inbred thing, but I was getting that
girlfriend/sister/cousin feeling). So one of the guys comes over and
tells me that his brother (probably brother/uncle/cousin) is a tattoo
artist and we should stop by and see the shop and this and that. He left
us some business cards and stumbled back over to his girlfriend so that he
could beat her more effectively. At some point later the half-beaten
extremely drunken sister/girlfriend of this guy comes over and is telling
us that her sister does body peersshin' (piercing I assumed) and that we
should come by and check it out. She was very proud that her sister
hadn't had anybody complain except one girl who's tongue turned green...
but that was just one time. Needless to say I was quite relieved to come
back to the big city, or Portland anyways, even though it means having to
go to work today.
Of course, I'm just kidding, southerners are lovely people.
If you think of slope-browed, knuckle-dragging neander-cretins
attempting to seduce their siblings as "lovely." This morning,
I bailed out of the Mariott and conned my contractees into
putting me up at the Westin, which is kind of like trading in
Bence's car for
Solosier's. (Yeah,
I know Bence doesn't have a car. That's the whole point of
my metaphor... er, um, simile. Fuck You!) It's the little things
that make the difference - the Mariott has Folger's Instant
where the Westin has Starbucks. In the Mariott, I get a chair
and a hassock, but in the Westin, I get a chaise lounge. In
the Mariott, the bottom drawer contains extra blankets, whereas
the Westin's bottom drawer has an inflatable woman in a french
maid's uniform. Ah, the finer things in life. And if you're
still not convinced that the Westin is the superior hotel,
consider this: when you scroll through the list of pay-per-view
pornos, it lists how many sex acts take place in each
movie! Now, that's what I call being an informed consumer.

I just made it through one day of my new Hell. Since a contract our company was working on when belly up I'm moving contracts over to support a new service, which is cool but I have to spend 2 weeks of up training getting ramped up to hit the contract as a Senior Tech. Which would be fine if I wasn't in the middle of school right now getting close to approaching finals. So daily schedules tend to be:
Sorry about that Josh, I'll see what I can do. Nineteen hundred
dollars, a judicious amount of jet fuel, and certain properties
of aerodynamics have geographically translated me to Atlanta, GA,
the city too busy to hate (although not too busy to blow up
Olympic stadiums). I'm here til the end of the week, contracting
for the IRS again. Tomorrow at work, I'll tell three different
beauracratic flunkies three different lies about where I'll
be spending the day, and the I'll hole up in the basement with
a computer terminal and
the commissioner's login and password, and I'll see what I can
do about Josh's IRS bill. um, Suuuure I will. Sorry Josh, but
if I get the chance to clean up anyone's record, it'll be mine.
I haven't paid taxes in three years due to my heavy financial
losses investing in a tapioca mine, in Nutley, NJ, and I plan on
keeping it that way.
Well the IRS has done it again! The other day I got a Form 1040X and a nice letter from the IRS
saying that I basically fucked up on my taxes from last year and they wanted me to redo them.
Anyways, after I got done doing this years taxes I am pleased to see that I will get about $400
bucks back from the old government. Well after I sent the forms off in the mail I re-did last
years taxes and fucking A! I now own them a little more then I am getting back this year!
8am: Wake up goto classes
3:00pm: Skip out on my last part of Stats and race to work
3:30pm:Arrive at work for training
12:30am:Head home
12:45am:Sleep
8am: Repeat
Which leaves little or no time to update not to mention papers to write. The work part isn't to bad because the room is full of a bunch of geeks and we get to have geek talk all night long.. Mmmm.. Course if I read about Bence bitch about having to watch his dog I'm gonna go kick some Canadian arse. I've got something almost done to throw into articles when I get some breathing room.
What fucking luck huh?

I got an email about a E/N site called phunstuff which appears to be pretty new. Figure I'll let you guys check it out, bring them some hits and judge for yourself about the site.
I love this AOL animated gif I snagged from their site.
Oh Yeah baby! On March 4th the Playstation 2 is going to be released in Japan! I don't know if
any of you know anything about this little baby yet, but it's going to be sweet. The new system
has a USB and PC card interface, and apparently can play DVD video discs since it's media is going
to be on the DVD format. Hell yeah! You know what's even better! The place I work for is going
to be selling these things and I will be able to get my hands on one before the public will!!!!
I'm not really sure how much they will go for, the Playstation rep that I talk to says possibly
around 300 bucks or so. But I think for a game console system that has the ability to play
DVD movies and hook up to your PC or a broadband interface, that isn't too bad. Speaking of work.
We also sell the normal Playstation there, and for the life of me, we always fucking sell out!
Every week we probably get in about 30 or so units and by weeks end we have ZERO! How old are these
things? Fuck man! Sony is really going to give
Nintendo
and Sega a run for their money. I wouldn't be surprised to see the Dreamcast
disappear within a year or so like the rest of Sega's products seem to have in the past...
Oh! Hey Fenomas, While your in Japan do you think it would be possible for you to send us a PS2 when
it comes out on March 4th so that the PenIs staff in the US can demo it?

The whole town laughed at my great-grandfather, just because he worked hard
and saved his money. True, working at the hardware store didn't pay much,
but he felt it was better than what everybody else did, which was go up to
the volcano and collect the gold nuggets it shot out every day. It turned
out he was right. After forty years, the volcano petered out. Everybody left
town, and the hardware store went broke. Finally he decided to collect gold
nuggets too, but there weren't many left by then. Plus, he broke his leg and
the doctor's bills were real high.
EVENTS OF THE DAY:
Upgraded my futon bed on the floor by adding a layer of foam. Mmmm foam.. Now known as ver 1.2b, I'll bring it out of the beta stage when I'm done testing this foam pad.
Bought an Intellieye mouse... Mmmmm Ballless..
Found out this intellieye is full of crap. Stupid balless mouse just don't feel right. With it's skipping and a bopping all around my screen.
Just for you, greedy fans of suffering, here's a clip of
Pain In
Motion! One of my favorites,
both for its brevity, and for the springy fashion in which
this fellow's head bounces off of the floor. As you can
see, in one frame he seems to actually kick the back of
his own head. Hail Eris!!

Leave it to me, to walk in and find the wierdest shit (no pun intended) in the bathroom at work. This isn't as bad as when
I've walked into the work bathroom and there is shit on the wall, all over the mirror and blood all over a urinal. I don't
know what it is but today I walked into the bathroom to take a piss and with a quick glance over to see if anyone is using the
urinals I'm confronted with this mighty bare ass. It's just hanging there, not just a crack but his pants where all the way
down. I normally don't stand and check out someones ass but you normally don't see someone standing there at a urinal with
his pants around his ankles. Did I mention his ass was hanging out? Ok.. good.. I'm just a bit shaken up..
As for quake 3, I've been meaning to getting around to playing it but I just haven't. I was hooked on Team Fortress for a
while, but I saw the full effect of Quake 3 addiction on Weishaupt. It wasn't pretty.
Me:(Walking downstairs to Weishaupt's apt) *knock knock*
It's a sad sad addiction.
OK. First of all, looks like I'm headed to Atlanta on Monday.
If you're playing along at home, I've already been in Indianapolis
and Washington DC this year. If I see John Rocker, I promise to kick
him in the nuts on general principle. Secondly, I'd like
to say something to all the Quake-players among our dozens of
readers. Eod
doesn't play much Quake. I don't even know if he owns a
copy. If you see penismightier playing, it's me or Cyd.
Stop asking if I'm Eod, dammit. In other news, I don't
remember where I ran across this wonderful Albert Fish
page, but I probably saw it at some other e/n site, so
apologies in advance. Hell, it could have been posted here,
I probably wouldn't remember; at any rate, it's worth another
look for pure morbidity. Fish was an unusually perverse
serial murderer; of special interest is the letter
he wrote to the mother of the child he killed, cooked and ate.
Bon Appetit!
Have you ever seen those posters around any work place that shows the proper way to lift things or the proper way to sit? The
ones with the cartoon charaters lifting or sitting incorrectly. Don't do it! You know why people don't sit that way or lift
that way? Cause it is damn uncomfortable thats why. I've been trying to sit correctly in my chair today at work and not only
do I feel ike a dork but after about 30 seconds I'm ready to get out of this chair and throw it out the window.
I don't know how many x-men fans we have but the trailer to the movie was
released today.
You can grab it here. Hey even Cap'n Picard is in
the movie,
he'll be playing the role of Wolverine, no wait.. Xavier or was it that little winch, Jamboree or whatever her name was. Ok Xavier.. Final Answer? ..... Yes final Answer... And yes Xavier is correct!
Silence: Hi I'm silence, I'm just gonna be quite.
Me: *knock knock* (I hear some pitter patter)
Silence: Me again.. Just not saying anything.
Me: *knock knock*
(finally the door begins to open.)
Weishaupt:(opens the door and strafes then tries to rocket jump over me. His hands posed in the position of the keyboard and mouse)
Me: Umm dude your not playing Quake anymore.
Weishaupt: Huh, well shit then that means I'm getting fragged.
(Takes a quick glance around to confirm it isn't quake turns around and runs backwards towards the stairs keeping an eye on me. His index finger of his left hand pushing down into "once was a keyboard" area.)
Me: Hey dude can we uh borrow some sugar? Hello?

Feeling down? Need some palindromes to

Hey there folks! I have to wonder what's wrong with the world when I can
go to my favorite search engine and try to find some of my favorite sites
(xxx & monkeys & donkeys & fat & puking) and I come up with this filth! The cult of

Coleman is everywhere! Some love him, some hate him, but no matter
how you look at it nothing beats diffrn't strokin' it with your favorite
little man. ("Whatchoo lookin' at Willis? You do it too!")

I take it like me, many of you are fans of the simpsons. You may also be like me in the fact that you can spout off lines and facts from any episode. And maybe you also thought pulp fiction wasn't half bad. In my search to figure out why they killed off Maude(I'm guessing for ratings and something to do with the actors voice), I came across this. (warning: horrible midi music will play)
I know I'm a couple days behind on this, but I mention
this primarily for the benefit of fenomas, who loves to see
any sign that America is a little closer to our decline
and fall as an Empire. A few days ago, Fox aired a
steaming pile of programming called "Who wants to
marry a multi-millionaire?" Basically a combination of a
beauty pageant and white slavery. OK, if that doesn't
prove us to be a fat, lazy, decadent culture, I don't
know what will. We're like thiiiiiiis
close to staging gladiatorial combats
between death-row inmates and electing leaders by
holding fucking contests.
Not everyone can appreciate this, but if you've ever played Everquest,
then you should see this.
It amazes me that coming to a job could make me as incredibly pissed off
as it does. I don't know how they work it. It's almost as if a little
switch flips in my brain as I approach this building and the rage begins
to build like a shaken bottle of cola. The managers (who are supposed to
be the HR and customer service counterparts to my position) have somehow
assumed more power than this company has ever given them and are now
trying to "put us in our place". Or at least that's how I perceive it. I
answer questions for technicians and call-coach them and deal with tickets
that need to be sent to other departments and basically work my nuts to
the grindstone every day I'm here. I don't take breaks ,don't take
lunches and work more than 11 hours straight four days a week. And now
they want us to be "more accountable" for what we do. They've made up a
rigid schedule of who's doing what for how many minutes, and are going to
make us take incoming customer calls to "keep us sharp". Well, you know
what keeps me sharp is the fact that I take well over a hundred calls from
techs every day and probably fix half the calls that come in during my
shift. And I scrutinize at least three calls every day to help our
technicians improve their performance. I do half the job of my manager
and twice what I have to do for my position. It seems to me like they
just want to make a more noticeable separation between themselves and us.
God forbid someone might mistake me for their manager because I'm the only
person they ever see who helps them. Of course, to get ahead in this
world, you've got to "play ball" (read as kiss ass), but coming from a job
at a Porn Store I have never been one of those kiss ass people. I can't
afford to lose my job right now, so I'm just going to rant here to save my
own sanity for the time being, until I can walk right up to them and say,
"Fuck you, why don't you try to do my job."
Nice job on the write-up on getting laid in japan, fenomas,
i'm on my way. And maybe I should take this moment
to point out Zebulun's wonderful
post in our message board area, a guide to not
having sex with men. Sort of. Gosh, his webpage
looks so corporate that I wouldn't have guessed at his
penchant for filthy, filthy pr0n. Well, Zeb, just because
your page makes ours look embarassingly poorly-designed
don't mean you get to spew your degenerate pre-versions all
over our nice clean message board.

Allow me to draw your attention to the articles section,
where I have just posted my life's work, the
Guide to Getting Laid in Japan.
73min hold times make for some happy customers. Infact I could post a
gillzion stories about stupid shit today. But I figure I've spammed
enough up on here. If you want me to post some up just send me an email and I'll post a few up.
User: My new modem won't work! I just bought it 5 mins ago.
Its sad when my favorite time of the day at work is listening to
voicemail. The little flashing green light brings a smile to my face.
None of the voicespams are worth a damn but it kills time. For the 5 mins
I spend in voicemail it's 5 less mins that I'm on a call with a complete
moron. This gives me the time to write updates.. Like this one.
User:Your software is defective! I have an iMAC (uh oh warning
right there) and I know that it works! Your software won't let me
quit!
From the mailbag:
Let me just say this now, so everyone understands: when I walk, I lay
tracks like a fucking Indy car. I'm serious folks, I walk fast. I walk
pretty fast on a normal basis, but when it's cold and I'm late I really
move. This morning I was walking down the freeway and I passed these old
people driving along in their Cadillac STS. They scowled at me and shook
their wrinkled little fists and yelled at me to slow down. So I flipped
them off like I always do and wished I had somewhere to press ham. Oh
well, you can't win 'em all.
Well well well! Lookie what we have here....
It seems EOD did a little ad campaign for X BRA a while back and
didn't want any of us to find out.. Heheh! Well the secrets out, and I'm sure Eod can relax a little better!
Me: Hmmm did you buy your modem from us? (trick question we don't
sell modems, nor do we install them, call your damn oem!)
Me: Have your tried File -> Quit
User: You guys need to fix this software before you mess up
someones computer
Me: Mam I assure you the software is fine. Please just to humor
me click File -> Quit.
User: Fine! ... ...... (time passes) Ok it quit
Me: Anything else I can help you with?
User: Umm are you not listening! Your software is defective! It
wouldn't let me quit.
Me: You just quit though.
User: Right! It quit... why didn't it quit before?
Me: Did you tell it to quit?
User: Well I typed in 'q-u-i-t'
Me: Well to have it actually quit your going to need to select
File->Quit next time.
User: Well, someone should look into this software what a horrible
setup. You need to be a NASA engineer to figure this out.
Me: Yes mam, thank you for calling.
That was quick, a turn around after posting the first email of about 20 mins.
I think I'll take him up on the offer.
Ashamed to say I check out your page more than I check
my e-mail. Things are fucking hectic around here,
trying to steal customers away from there DSL ISP's is
no easy task, especially when they've all had such
fucked up experiences getting connected in the first
place. I'm currently talking with the guy that runs
this show about getting our tech support a bit more
fortified, so don't think that I'm blowing you off. If
you want to send me your resume that would be cool,
and I can keep you at the top of the list when we
really start moving on that shit. We're moving kind of
slow on administrative stuff 'cause we're going
through our first round of private funding in the next
couple of weeks.
Well I replied saying that I'd love to. Course no reply, I know I'm gonna be stuck at this ISP for life. Unless I make enough money with All Advantage to support myself through college.
hey man,
I work at an ISP here in the Portland area. who do you
work for? do they suck? do you want to work for us? we
are only four people deep right now and need someone
to help us get our tech support up and running. You
seem to have talent and a functioning brain, any
interest in getting out of there?
In response to Eod's last post: X Bra was a product that I had found and simply wanted to poke
a little fun at. Well since this post caused commotion I decided to look into the X Bra company a little closer.
After reviewing their files I was astonished to find this:
Oh by the way, Nice chest! How Do You Do it!
