"Germany's big banks will toast the New Year supplied with a somewhat unusual mix of diesel fuel, champagne and strong coffee as they stay on guard through the night for any contingency from the dreaded millennium bug."

So what really happened at DeutscheBank? Did they Y2K crash or not?

WHy is it that guys like Andy can spew any hatred and crap that they want, but the moment someone else has a teensy-weensy bit of fun, they get deleted??

It's pathetic......you ramble on about Big Brother but you got twice the attitude crammed in your brain.......

At what point in your life did you lose your sense of humor? Or do you only find things funny if they are said by a doomer? There was nothing offensive about my last post and it was a a bit of humor.........grow up and lighten up for God's sake!!!!!!!

What hatred?

I use good old fashioned Shakesperian vulgarity (some, updated) - I think I described Oprah and De J quite well...

Are you gonna take your ball home Craig?

Whoops I forgot Andy....if it's "good old fashioned" then it's okay.....

It's only if it's new-fangled that it is inherently evil....aaaaaaahhhhh.......

Howz this for Shakespeare.........Methinks thou should'st take thine ludditic attitude and thine fuzzy hamster, and yea, forcefully thrust them into thine most foul sphincter.......

Over on the other thread - ode to my hamster - I was going to say that you had the intellect of an oxygen-starved hamster that you had just removed from your...

but I guess you beat me too it! :o)

-- Andy (2000EOD@prodigy.net), December 27, 1999.

Yeah.......mine would be oxygen-starved.....

unlike you, I have not prepped sufficiently and have failed to insert a miniature breathing apparatus up my butt as well as tiny bottles of distilled water and little sacks of rice for said hamster.

However the rodent will find no shortage of beans albeit they will be slightly more processed at that point than the hamster likely wants.

I believe Hot Wheels makes a small hamster-sized school bus that you can insert (very carefully) Model # ANAL450 which will provide emergency shelter to hamster in case all hell breaks loose when you rollover in the middle of the night. In that case, you most certainly would find yourself in a literal tribulation although I doubt that you could endure it for 7 years........

The remedy....stick two digits up your bum and try to coax hamster out.....suggest he also bring out oxygen bottles, masks, rice, water bottles and school bus......if two digits is not sufficient, try it with the more compliant four digits (if that is too hard to remember, just chant this a few times until you remember it "Everything but the thumb......everything but the thumb........everything but the thumb"!!

God, how I enjoy this board, it is more enjoyable than the scandals of comrad Klinton.

Craig,

Are you, or have you ever associated with Richard Gere...?

Your intimate knowledge of said rodent activity in ones nether regions smacks very suspiciously of personal experience?

I wish I still had my hot wheels, probably worth a fortune now...

-- Andy (2000EOD@prodigy.net), December 27, 1999.

Funny, just last week I would have been arm-in-arm with Craig, yelling about how wrong this-and-that is, sticking up for OUR rights.

But then I learned my lesson. I stuck up for "LadyLogic" and I'm sorry that I did. She turned out to be just what I was warned that she would be. An idiot.

We don't have time for idiots now. If you don't like it here, go find somewhere that you do like.

We'll all miss you. Happy Holidays...

Tick... Tock... <:00= ...

-- Sysman (y2kboard@yahoo.com), December 27, 1999.

Sysman, just to make sure you don't miss the boat again, please understand: Craig is an idiot. Much less obnoxious than LadyLogic, but an idiot nonetheless.

Susie Q: Why did you post this on this thread? It exists as its own thread a few down.....

Reason?

-- preparing (preparing@home.com), December 27, 1999.


Because "Suzie Q" acknowledged that she was Lady Lost It with a new handle while she was spamming the board last night with cut and pastes from Gary North's site.

Thanks for telling me. DAMN, I spoke to IT. Go the hell away, IT.
