Re: Insanity Thread

[Antessima]

Don't forget me. I'm insane. I went to proto's website and clicked on his evil link, and it told me I wasn't evil, I was insane.

I wish they would put me in charge of more stuff, I'd make it lots more fun!

[pixie]

should i be offended i am not listed as a scatterbrain?

[Antessima]

Scatterbrains don't count. You may be wacky, but not whacked. It's like macaroni and cheese lovers complaining that they have no voice at the Italian pasta place thingy. We're the tomato sauce people, so no cheese please. Start your own thread, if you think you can remember to hit post by the time you're done!

Just after midnight, I awoke to an indistinct shadow standing over my bed. It slapped me across the face. It kept slapping me until some teeth broke. I spit them out and opened my eyes.

It was my recurring nightmare. Wearing only a pair of red chamois dolphin shorts, my succubus was limned in the green glow of the night light.

She was poised for another strike. I tilted my tinfoil hat and deflected the gamma radiation into her cortex.

She died and I closed my eyes. I didn't dare breathe until the clock struck six.

I rose.

Redolent of coffee, the kitchen miasma beckoned. My wife, the Queen, belched forth fire. The royal teat had withdrawn to the service elevator and I was alone.

Some distant alarum shouted death songs and descants. Or was that pricksongs and descents? The complete writings of the Michelin Man as related to me by the good bard, William Shakespeare, saved my life for the moment.

Wiping the sweat from the furrow between my dorsal labia, I knelt before the altar.

Lancing pain webbed around my eye sockets as I rejoiced in the surgical grade eye needles, all the while playing the fiddle as Rome burned.

Please kill me.

Holy crap, that reads like something straight out of the Beatles' Yellow Submarine.

What are you smoking, and why aren't you sharing? Hoser!

I thought this thread needed a little insane wisdom to brighten it up!

Gum chewing is fine when done once in a while
It stops you from smoking and brightens your smile
But it's repulsive, revolting, and wrong
Chewing and chewing all day long

40 years + of computer admin experience + 1 kernel panic + 1 hd failure = 2+ week downtime... Now thats nuts

[Arizhel]

If Onivel had all the time in the world to work on the machine, I'm sure we'd be back up by now.

As it is, he has a job and a family. He doesn't get paid to work on the JediMUD machine. Cut the man some slack, would ya?

Anyway, this is a board for fun. This is not fun. ;D

Ya know, undoubtedly I'm going to get yelled at by my fellow admin due to my lack of being tactful here but quite honestly, I'm completely sick of garbage like this.

What in God's name is your problem, Farb? One day you have coherent, intelligent thoughts. The next day you sound like a politician with a nice handful of mud.

Do you think that you're the only one who thinks it sucks that the sandbox is closed? Do you think that holding a gun to anyone's head will help the hard drives ship faster or make the software install faster? Do you think that this same gun will make everyone's family and work lives (yes, some of us actually work instead of play the game 24/7) just go away so they can cater to your needs? And we all know the answer to these questions requires a resounding, "hell no."

Jedimud is run and administered for people's -entertainment-. If those people are so bent out of control that they can't find some other form of entertainment while this one has a closed sign outside the door, then let me be the first to say that -there is a problem-. Maybe this would be a good site to visit in the meantime: www.internetaddiction.com/ or www.netaddiction.com/.

Furthermore, 40+ years, eh? I'd be willing to bet that Ching and Doc have that beat by themselves. The most hysterical part is that it doesn't take even 10+ years of experience to realize that some things take time (and patience). The last time I saw an attitude like the quoted post was from a computer science major at college who claimed he knew more than the professors. Funny, I wonder why his grades sucked ass.

In closing, I'd just like to say that there are a great many people who are upset about the game being down (for one reason or another). They are admin and non-admin, alike. While most excercise patience and try to show some constructive support for those who are tasked with getting the game back up, it's a shame that people have to act like 4 year olds, kicking, crying, throwing sand, and screaming "I want to play with the red shovel!"

This is completely inappropriate, but yes actually I think it would. Not a good idea, but it might. :-)

[farbekrieg]

Jeebus tam sounds like you should definately become more accustomed with the private message feature, namely I saw a thread that said insanity, and thought to myself its pretty insane that jedis still down.

What in God's name is your problem, Farb?

My problem seems pretty well stated in my original post, admittedly its not a massive problem, nor did i prattle on about irrevelant information for the purposes of self agrandizing, but thats just my way.

One day you have coherent, intelligent thoughts.

You act is if I respect your opinion, which amazingly to me doesnt mean squat.

some of us actually work instead of play the game 24/7

Your implying I dont work? Who do you have do your fact checking Fox News?

Maybe this would be a good site to visit in the meantime: www.internetaddiction.com/ or www.netaddiction.com/.

Those arent pr0n!

The most hysterical part is that

No Tam, the most hysterical part is you (check your post again and the definition of hysterical), want me to suggest a few sites to help you with your 'alleged' problem? Or maybe just pass on this advice I hope you find amazingly useful 'Remember its down the road not across the street.'

Go back to leeching others ideas and posting trademarked songs, its really more your style.

between 1978 and 1982 i produced about one hundred treatises pertaining to a world i designed as a working campaign for my tight circle of D&D pals.

here's one of the funnier pieces (a short two paragraphs) that always provoked eye-rolling and great laughter at my expense...

"Never laugh in the presence of a dragon."

BARBARIAN BIRD MYTHOS

The lore of the barbarian, or forest-born, is complex and enchanting. A large part of their wilderness knowledge is handed down, generation to generation, with each re-telling more colorful and captivating than the last.

When man made the forest his home in the dawn ages, he was a newcomer. Preceding him were the raptor-avarians and mammals that flapped and trod for countless aeons in the cool shade of the trees.

The many spirits of forest glen and hollow manifest themselves in the form of birds rather than beasts, and the men that call such places home learned to distinguish between emissaries of each woodland god.

Well I will be ending the world next thursday at noon. Thanks, in part, to the lovely deals I got at:

Yo Dank, both of those posts are quite rightous, you've inspired me to start writing again; haven't done that much since the long gone intensive acid days of yore.

PS If I read ONE more damn PAW-inspired post about the downtime, I may log on after we go live again only to roll through a flameing/insulting PAW hitlist. For crying out loud, people, shut the hell up, and chill the hell out!!
