PISS SHIT FUCK CUNT COCKSUCKER MOTHERFUCKER TURD TIT TWAT

brrr...

I've clawed my way back up to the top, or rather, I've managed to claw my way to the computer. every part of my head hurts, if anyone asks where I am (ie maybe scott since we were supposed to go jogging today) I'm at home, with tonsillitis, it could be viral or bacterial, we don't know yet, which sucks because I don't get to start any treatment (and thus feel any better) until wednesday. oh yeah, if anyone has class with me, could they find out what the homework is so I can try and have it ready for when it's due (lookin at you par). and yeah, I think I'll go back to sleep now.

Leave for a week- and I am lost- so very lost

A couple of things from the "I Can't Believe it's Butter" File (okay, so my file naming system sucks shit. what do you want from me?):

I still can't believe that this is a documented problem in Windows 95-2000:


During normal operation or in Safe mode, your computer may play "Fur Elise" or "It's a Small, Small World" seemingly at random. This is an indication sent to the PC speaker from the computer's BIOS that the CPU fan is failing or has failed, or that the power supply voltages have drifted out of tolerance. This is a design feature of a detection circuit and system BIOSes developed by Award/Unicore from 1997 on.



That's right. If your computer mystically plays "Fur Elise" or "That annoying song from splash mountain," it's telling you that your fan isn't working... *blink, blink* WHAT?!?!

Also, it seems that February sweeps brings out the best, and worst, in network programming:


The 'Super Millionaire' answer


(CNN) -- It was a phenomenon. Then it crashed. Then it emerged in
syndication. Now ABC is trying to revive it in prime time -- at least
for a week.

The network is bringing back "Who Wants to Be a Millionare," complete
with host Regis Philbin, for five days in late February.

According to an ABC press release, the new version will be known as
"Super Millionaire," and the top prize will be $10 million -- up from
the $1 million contestants could win on the original program (an amount
that continues on the syndicated version, hosted by Meredith Vieira).

" 'Super Millionaire' will take the format to a whole new level," producer
Michael Davies said in the statement.

Details were still rather sketchy. The new show will include the
familiar three lifelines but add others at a certain level of the game,
at which point "the game will 'morph' into a new dimension," the
statement said.

The network and producers still haven't decided how to choose
contestants for the new shows. The original show depended on a phone
quiz, which later changed to more of a demographic contestant search.

"Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" was the No. 1 show of the 1999-2000
season. "Super Millionaire" will air February 22, 23, 24, 26 and
27.

Yeah! another week... thats 9 more weeks until I'm out of this hell hole.

Okay, first of all... that dude's name is "Julio Navarro". I dunno about the rest of you, but I get the impression that he's neither Slavic nor Italian... although maybe that's just me. The eyes are a little off, so's the nose... but the hair and shape of the face- it could definitely be a cousin of jeremy's... on his great-great-grand-dads' spanish side, of course.

i would just like to take this moment to say as a Chinese Canadian, CHA-CHINK!!

happy new years monkiddies.

I would like to say that, at this time, as an Indian-Canadian... no, that doesn't sound right... a Canadian Indian... no, somehow that's not right either...

Ahem... lemme try again. I would like to take this opportunity as a person who can effectively take offense at this time, to take offense to the use of the adjective "Italian" previously on this page. Particularly in the phrases "a very Italian guy" and "i believe the name game is called "hot-dogging"." In this time of extreme political correctness and falling-over-our-feet-to-please-our-heels, this terminology is unacceptable. Besides, the guy obviously looks too hippie to be Jeremy. Jere's got more of a "I'm a mountain nun trying to be a hobbit scientist" look than an "I'm an astronomer trying to look like a fake scientist" look to him.

As for Big Fish, if cheap, count me in. (By the way, I also find the use of " what's his name Obi-Wan-Ewan McGreggor" rather distasteful. You obviously knew his name, what's-your-face alison.)

i believe the name game is called "hot-dogging", and the astronomer looks a little too "slavic"
