StarLink-IRC welcomes lois (#Norwich) home from the hospital!! We missed you lots and lots lois! *hugs* Brad (#SLIRC Cafe), whose father has had surgery, will be cooking for Dad when he comes home. We hope Brad knows how to make something other than Camel Stew! SLIRC's party of the month was the birthday party for busterc (#Norwich, CService, IRCop, server admin, etc etc.) who greeted people from all over the globe on April 16th in #Townhall.
It has been noted that one of the server admins from western canada near a lake (who shall, of course, remain anonymous) has a real fetish for certain automobile accessories. On a recent journey into civilzation, they were seen ridng around watching the power windows go up and down.. and up and down.. and up and down.. and up and down...up..down..up..down.. (sad, ain't it?) This same person was also observed at the airport doing wheelies with her new luggage. ( It occurs to the blue spherical one that maybe some people just really need to get out more.) Your intrepid reporter has also recevied a rumor that SOMEBODY here ( who will be known only as ch*e) was caught sleeping in a courtroom. The judge, it seems, didn't feel what was going on that important since he told the bailiff just to let the person sleep. Of course, this spider only hopes they werent in the jury at the time. How embarassing ! *NEWS FLASH* From time to time, this ever watchful spider provides LIVE news reports, directly from the TV. No, its not CNN (what do they know) .. its from the Home Shopping Channel. Trust me, this stuff is better than Springer ! The ..er. sales pitches are outstanding adventures in how to make the boring seem interesting .. presented by people who, from all appearances, got the job cause they couldn't pass the qualification test for counter help at a fast food joint (but are overqualified for convenience stores because they DO speak english .. they just don't say anything you need to hear ). Happy webbing ADDENDA to Fogweb Follies: An Anonymous Roving Reporter learns that a certain blue spider who shall remain nameless has problems keeping up with which servers busterc adminsters. One day this week, he had buster as administrator of Pensacola, Birmingham and Lexington. When informed by busterc that he could not make changes to Lexington because bus was not an administrator, said blue spider was reported to have asked buster, "Well, who the hell is, then???" HEY! I didnt' write that!! Who hacked the mail? Wheres the editor? So much for artistic integrity around here. Let em get their own column for made up.. er.. investigative articles! Yo, editor? Hellooooooooooooo???
The Travel Agent is lost.

Amazing (oh whine whydontcha) The Little Boy and The Fence There was a little boy with a real bad temper. His father gave him a bag of nails and told him that every time he lost his temper, he should hammer a nail into the back fence. The first day the boy had 37 nailed into the fence. Then it gradually dwindled down. He discovered it was easier to hold his temper than to drive those nails into the fence. Finally the day came when the boy didn't lose his temper at all. He told his father about it, and the father suggested that the boy now pull out one nail for each day that he was able to hold his temper. The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone. The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence. He said "You have done well my son, but look at the holes in the fence. The fence will never be the same. When you say things in anger they leave a scar just like this one. You can put a knife into a man and draw it out. It won't matter how many times you say I'm sorry. The wound is still there. A verbal wound is as bad as a physical one."
