A pounce of prevention is worth an ound of cure.

OT – Malthusiasm (n): Pleasure derived from predicting (salivating, pontificating about, etc.) how we’re all dooooooomed.

o/t Hundreds of women took part in a “reclaim the streets rally” in Sydney last night in protest at Sheik Hillaly’s “uncovered meat” statement…

Technical Problems?
You mean like not paying their bills?

Sheik Hilali praises Iraq jihadists
TAJ Din al-Hilali has praised militant jihadists in Iraq and Afghanistan, calling them men of the highest order for fighting against coalition forces – which include Australian soldiers – to “liberate” their homelands.
I wish well the coalition forces in Iraq and Afghanistan in their quest to turn jihadists into uncovered meat.

#3 Parabolic Midget Barrage, BLAMMO
I was born on a poor dirt farm in Missoura where my family raised retards and midgets. Depending on anticipated market conditions, we would either feed the midgets to the retards, or vice-versa. One year, my father guessed wrong, and we were stuck selling fat and sassy retards to a public that wanted only midgets. Mom fed dad to the retards, I threw Mom over my shoulder and dragged her off to a cave in the mountains, and from that moment on the course of my life was set.

I never forget a face. Excuse me Mr BLAMMO but haven’t we met before?

“Technical problems”? As in, “Can’t write, can’t spell, can’t think”?

No doubt they’re out looking for ~~suckers~~ donors.

Ummm… How tall are you?

Well I’m not pouncing. It’s Sunday morning. I’m drinking coffee and reading the predictions about today’s ~~sissy girl cricket~~ American football games.
Tim, you might want to call the “Their Guard Is Down So Let’s Pounce” rapid reaction hot line. Course I believe they’re all at the Redskins game. So we might just have to leave this to the Aussies. Can you handle it?

Wronwright, you misspelled “Redskins.” It’s “L O S E R S.”

They’re going to miss approximately 60,000 hits just from us checking on the server status. That must be good for at least $0.74 if they use CPM Google ads…

Even after seeing it mentioned on this site about a thousand times, I never ever looked in at Webdiary.
Now I’ll never have the chance.
I blame Bush, or Globular Warmening, or cats or something.
Posted by trainer on 2006 10 29 at 01:35 PM • permalink

now is the time for Bush/Howard forces to pounce.
Somehow I read “pounce” as “reproduce”. Is that wrong? And, if so, what does that say about me…
Never mind. I’d rather not know.
Posted by Dr Alice on 2006 10 29 at 02:14 PM • permalink

Actually, perhaps it’s Malthusian. (see #3 above).

Offline? How can you tell?
Posted by Gravelly on 2006 10 29 at 04:00 PM • permalink

Hmm. I read it as a mathematical equation:
(Webdiary) = (experiencing technical problems)
Which seems right.
Posted by m on 2006 10 29 at 05:05 PM • permalink

Yes. It’s always been a little more than “technical problems” that they’ve had to deal with.

#5 – you are absolutely correct, the bold cupboard is bare.
I would pay money if someone could organise a Halliburton SUV to park outside the residence of the main editor of Webdiary right now – complete with fake satellite dish.

Maybe they’ve merged with Air America.

Jamie Packer has just announced his purchase of Webdiary.
‘I told you I wasn’t interested in Fairfax,’ was his only comment to reporters.

(It’s OK, I left $15,000 in a paper bag on top of the fridge to pay for this excessive display of wanton formatting)

Damn that KKKarl Rove! Is there nothing beneath him (well, other than a nice hardwood floor with a throw rug, I mean).
