Here is a joke Rindfleisch sent me in an e-mail:

A magician worked on a cruise ship. The audience was different each week, so he did the same tricks over and over again.

One problem: The captain’s parrot saw the show each week and began to figure out how the magician did every trick.

Once he understood, he started shouting in the middle of the show “Look, he’s hiding the flowers under the table!” and “Hey, why are all the cards the ace of spades?”

The magician was furious but couldn’t do anything. It was, after all, the captain’s parrot.

Then, during a fierce storm, the ship sank. The magician found himself on a piece of wood in the middle of the sea with, as fate would have it, the parrot.

They stared at each other with hatred but did not utter a word. This went on for a day, and then another and then another.

Finally on the fourth day, the parrot could not hold back “OK, I give up. Where’s the fucking ship?”

Rindfleisch also sent me an e-mail almost 2mb’s. You do that again and your going to get it.

Lots of activity in the GuestBook as of late. Here’s John with a minor comment:

cool place to work, uh? http://www.garycolemanhasaposse.com/

Oh yeah it’s a laugh a minute. John is the guy who runs the Gary Coleman Has A Posse page. John has me on his links page. I always appreciate a link. Except I’m under the “Check These Nutz!” heading so I don’t know if that’s good or bad.

I saw this test over at Sherry’s website and figured I would give it a go.

Disorder	Rating

Schizoid:	Very High
Schizotypal:	High
Antisocial:	Moderate
Borderline:	Low
Histrionic:	Moderate

It turns out I’m a little fucked up? Anyone think these on-line tests are accurate?

Just pokin around gettin my online situation back on track. Recently I’ve been playing Evercrack (yes, I hate the game..but its so fucking addictive) and my animud. Been doing alot of things, havent really stepped ouside much cept to go to class my 3 nights a week or to go play D&D. But now its time I go, for Cherryvale mall beckons my friends.. I love going there.. better than janesville.

Everquest was ok. I really like DAoC. DAoC stands for Dark Age of Camelot by the way. I think it’s a lot more fun than Everquest. I also dig the Cherryvale mall. One of my favorite stores is there, Babbages. It’s good to hear from you Lee.

Here is proof that Adrian’s lifeblood is still flowing. My favorite young former Sobo checked in after a long absence from the GuestBook with this to say:

hey man, i havent stopped in for a while, so i decided to take the time out of my fucking crazy ass schedule and write! well, i am getting into a fraternity at knox college in galesburg illinois. the sigma nus are founded on the opposition of hazing, so im not gettin my ass beat here, its a great thing. my classes are good, but how would i know truly, cuz i never really go… not good i know, but im goin tomorrow! i promise! also, i have some great friends here, and i am having a lot of fun. i moved into a new room, and its bigger than the room i had at home! ha! well, i got to get some sleep, email me back or at least post me, cuz god knows everyone else thinks that the lack of me means im dead or something! talk to you later, adrian

Good to here from man. Don’t fret about college, as everyone knows what college is for. Partying! I joke, really I’m joking. Wait no I’m not joking. When I was in college all I did was party. Of course rereading your post I see the word classes. My time at college wasn’t spent attending classes. I’ve went to some great parties. So I guess that doesn’t make one eligible for saying they went to college?

Which is good, I would have majored in beer. I’m glad to hear no ass beating in a dim candle lit room isn’t in your future man. You got to watch out for those frat boys.

So it’s been a while since you heard a peep out of me. I wanted to make sure that any of the corporate trolls that come to the site saw the last GuestBook entry. Well that and the fact I have had nothing to write about. Even this post is of no merit.

I’ve been futzing around with running a server. Or at least how to run a server. I have the Apache server running on my Windows XP machine. I also got Perl and PHP going. I would love to use PHP here on the site, but my host doesn’t allow it. At least I can get some practice if I find a new server.

Well that’s about it for me. I have to get back to work.

Wow so it’s February now. That means March is right around the corner. February is special of course because the Izer’s first child arrived on the twelfth of this month. The kid is special to me for lots of reasons. Most importantly is the fact I got to be there for Troy. Secondly it gave me something to do during that period of time I was jobless.

Other than that not much has been going on. The hotel’s death knell continues. The computer is on the fritz, so my job is made easier. I’m doing about a half hour of work during a nine hour shift. Getting paid to do nothing is cool.

Here is a cool link I found that I was going to put up a few days ago. It’s a picture to html/ascii generator. The results are very neat in a geek sort of way.
