Typhoid Harry

Yes, I was sitting at home with a cuppa and a Hobnob when I heard. I couldnt help thinking " If only he hadnt gone onto the roof with one hand still stuck up Emus arse..." Still my favorite Emu bit: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kqr6OWPfLKU...ted&search=

Now if only we could get Larry King to interview the remaining survivors on the list...

I STILL think Castro has been dead for a while.

Congratulations and adulations to Teddy, clearly waaaaaaay more popular than I.

I'd fix it, but it's classic. Posterity over posture, and adjunct to my fellow mods, it stays. Edit: Not to mention he made me do math to answer that question, and for that he deserves to be mocked.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. I hope he's burning in hell, the prick.

You've been beaten to it. I'm sure Typhoid Harry had that one a couple of years back Thank you. In order to save time and worry on the part of curious DLers, I think I'd better explain! The changes turned out rather more subtle than I had originally intended so here's a detailed description of what happens. 0 seconds: cat's eyes: palest ----------- fish eye: deep red 3 seconds: cat's eyes: still pale -------- fish eye: deep orange/red 6 seconds: cat's eyes: brighter -------- fish eye: medium orange 9 seconds: cat's eyes: more intense -- fish eye: pale orange (distorted slightly in the download)(ed:now fixed - clear your cache to see the difference)) 12 seconds: cat's eyes: bright green - fish eye: yellow 15 seconds: cat's eyes: less bright ---- fish eye: pale orange (also distorted)(ed:fixed) 18 seconds: cat's eyes: less intense -- fish eye: medium orange 21 seconds: cat's eyes: paler ----------- fish eye: deep orange/red 24 seconds: as at 0 seconds and then the cycle repeats itself. The fish's eye is brightest when the cat's eyes are palest and vice versa. I think this makes it hard to focus on both changes at the same time but it's easier when you know what you're looking for. P.S. Don't forget the waving Jumblie! The lost art of subtlety; there's an Emperor and a kid named Tom Sawyer in this story somewhere. See above.

Wow, this thread's like an old friend come to visit, our resident teenager is going to be thrilled.

You'll have to do a bit better than that Harry, cos if we manage to meet, I might not understand you. ye ken whit ah mean? Hey, that was actually said to me once, and the man was serious.

Then there's always the poor sod who's parents named him Richard Head.

I dinnae ken you ken'd Ken, if I'd a ken ya ken'd Ken, I'da ken'dya, ken?

Urge to mod-abuse rising...

I went the Gordy route, too, there's a banana peel in his future, I'm sure. Why do the British people think we Americans are so footy-challenged? The best part of that tourney in Uruguay was how pissed Brazil was about it. The Blonde's head damned near exploded.

Armitage feels deeply hurt by this remark - all he does is offer a free tip and gets it thrown back in his face. Ah well... He explained it himself, and with good humour (as my comment was intended), he, as do all touts, takes credit but no blame. Might as well run for office.

Just what the world needed, another tout.

So you're saying you are no longer male? Good on you, mate, be yourself, I say!

RELEASE NO. 13-67 DATE: APRIL 10, 2007 TIME OF RELEASE: Immediate REF: RULE CHANGE FOR FISHERMAN STATE OF CALIFORNIA GENERAL ADMINISTRATION BUILDING DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA ATTN: U.S. DEPARTMENT OF FISH AND GAME "COHO SALMON IN HETCH-HETCHY RESERVOIR" The "Coko" salmon, not being native to California waters, have experienced difficulty in surviving. The female, when going up the Tuolomne feeder streams, has been losing her roe on the rocky bottoms; when able to get far enough upstream into the small pools and inlets, she has had difficulty getting back into the mainstream over the sand bars, etc. In fact, as many as 90 percent were dying in the upper reaches of the reservoir tributaries which caused a pollution and odor problem. The California Department of Fish and Game decided to crossbreed the Coho with the Minnesota Walleye for two reasons: 1. The Walleye has the intelligence and endurance to get through the Tuolomne tributaries, and; 2. It is not prone to losing roe while traveling upstream. The new species was named the "Co-Wal". However, in crossbreeding, the fighting spirit for which the Coho is known was lost to the more sluggish tendencies of the Walleye. To counter this sluggishness, the experiment went further. The Department bred the "Co-Wal" with the greatest fresh-water fighting fish in North America - the Muskie. This created a hybrid, double crossbreed and introduced a new American game fish. The Department has named this hybrid the "Co-Wal-Ski", and now has to teach the dumb son-of-a-bitch to swim. R.D Ingerson Director of Sport Fishing.

Scared me for a minute...

Thread title amended. -TH Edit: And I, too, am saddened by this news. (I had him penciled in for next year following a recent talk I heard him give at Stanford a few months ago.) The best part about favored authors is that even when they've gone, we can still visit with them.

Or... folks could just click on the "Help" link at the top of every page. Just a suggestion. Aaaaaaannnnd... not so much.
