Who wants to de-cloak?

greenspun.com : LUSENET : FRL friends : One Thread

We need a vote here. I got an email from someone who wants in, but I don't know the name. I responded that we'll prolly decloak soon, and I didn't send the password.

Paranoia is no fun. I suppose we can decloak, see what happens, and use the FRL at Currents for quick announcements that we're cloaking again. The password won't change, so we don't have to go through all the emailing again.

So, who wants to decloak this week?

That does not mean "get naked" Mr. Frankenstein.

-- helen (gripping@clothes.tightly), February 16, 2003.

I'll tell ya the same thing I said to Dear Mrs. Michaels so many years ago...

"I Do."

-- (sonofdust@lets.tryit), February 16, 2003.


Decloaking is good... we might pick up another stray like we did Carol from OZ if we decloak :-)

-- Tricia the Canuck (jayles@telusplanet.net), February 16, 2003.

I'm kinda slow. Exactly what do you mean by "decloak", Helen?

-- (lars@indy.net), February 16, 2003.

Lol. Thanks Tricia. I'm taking that as a compliment seeing I don't get many.

I vote "yes" too as it's probably going to cause Helen a heap of worry getting emails and not knowing if they are safe to open or not. I'm a bit paranoid about virus(pl) too, so I can understand what a pain in the derrier it must be.

-- Carol (stray @oz.com), February 17, 2003.



Lars, decloaking means taking the password feature off again. We'd do it in hopes that the troll has gone somewhere else to play and forgotten about us. Usually there aren't a lot of trolls that bother with our silliness, so those of us who want to decloak are hoping that we'll be able to go on for another few years without much trouble.

I regret to inform youse guys that greenspun forums are being hacked all over the place. I mean, they hacked countryside ... who'd wanna hack a farming community???

OK, do you still want me to decloak? Is there a way to protect our archives? Do you want me to try to download the whole FRL archives?

-- helen (fearful@leader.marching.into.oblivion), February 17, 2003.


Helen; When I voted for decloaking I thought the attacks had stopped. I don't think it makes sense to decloak until things get back to normal, otherwise we'll just be attacked again and end up where we are now!

Can we wait until the attacks stop and then decloak? You won't have to worry about archives then, and can still tell folks asking for the password that we plan to decloak soon (hopefully).

What do you think?

-- (sonofdust@whatdo.youthink?), February 17, 2003.


Yes, I agree totally ... for now, anyway.

-- helen (lookout@here.it.comes), February 17, 2003.

I think we should all disrobe immediately.

-- Lon (lgal@exp.net), February 17, 2003.


Disrobe? Uh, ok, but I ain't takin' these red socks off.

-- (youknowwho.@dis.robed), February 17, 2003.

Who wears a robe? ;-)

Helen, do you still have any emails from people you don't know? Maybe one of us would recognize the name?

I think waiting is a good thing!

-- Gayla (privacy@please.com), February 18, 2003.


Thanks Tricia. I think we should cloak til we croak.

-- (lars@indy.net), February 18, 2003.

In that case it might be better to keep the shields up a bit longer.

I would've thought it was too cold over there for all that disrobing.

Lol Lars. Good one.

-- Carol (always@robed.com), February 18, 2003.


Well, I think he a tacky dresser!

Oh, wait a minute I thought someone said to dis rob.

Never mind.

-- Lon Frankenstien (evil@the.bayou), February 18, 2003.



Lol lars. I'm convinced you definately are one of us!

Carol; Yep, sheilds are up and auxilarry power is being diverted to photon potatoes.

Hey Lon, if ya wanna dis Rob you're gonna have to git in line with everyone else. Dear Mrs. Michaels is at the head of it now ;-(

-- (Ineverwear@red.socks), February 18, 2003.


The photon potatoes are currently being served in tonight's soup. May I suggest using the track-em beam instead?

Gayla, I'll try to get the name for you...this is my horrible class night.

-- helen (gripping@the.bridge), February 18, 2003.


Watching photon potatoes go by the tethered net.........()....()..... ()...()

Shouldn't take my eyes off them, else they'd go to ground.)

(Waiting for hens to go by de-clucked .....)

Watching helen go by the tethernet decloaked ....(*)(*)......

-- Robert A. Cook, PE (cook.r@wassuperman.declarked), February 19, 2003.


You all can take off anything you want, but I'm perfectly comfortable as is.

If there is a troll problem, I would suggest staying locked up for awhile. This seems to be a good year for trolls, and they are nastier than usual.

Personally, they are probably offended at the High level of Koo present at this site. The dogs here send their greetings to all frlians, and especially to Mike at helen's.

-- Gene (notmehere@nowhere.huh), February 20, 2003.


hi, gene

i haven't noticed any high koo or low koo or anything around here lately. was that wishful thinking? i could try over the weekend if you like.

excuse the lower case, please. i have 'puter hiccups again. i can only get the 'e' to print in lower case by using the caps lock and holding down the shift. otherwise, i just get sent to windows explorer. sigh. i've also lost the letter that follows 'l' in the alphabet. it either goes to _essage or does nothing. no, i didn't spill tea with sugar or honey in it (ala allaha :-). i don't know why it suddenly decided to quit working. it _ight _ake for interesting high koo though ;-)

-- tricia the canuck (jayles@telusplanet.net), February 21, 2003.


Tricia, when my son was little, he couldn't make the "k" sound. Instead, he made a "t" sound. Cat became "tat" and so on. Imagine my embarrassment in pre-school when the nursery rhyme he was given to perform was "Little Miss Muffet". (Think about it...) ;-)

-- Gayla (privacy@please.com), February 21, 2003.

I never thought "curds and whey" were that wonderful in the first place, but the mind boggles!! I like cottage cheeze just fine now, though :-)

-- Tricia the Canuck (jayles@telusplanet.net), February 22, 2003.

Thank you for clarifying that, Tricia. I was sitting here, frozen in time as well as in temperature, wondering where the "k" sound was in the words "Little Miss Muffet" ...

-- helen (still@gripping.here), February 22, 2003.

Tricia!

It worked!

You can finally re-cottage now...

Oh - Wait. Cottage cheese can't be eaten in the months that have a "M" in 'em, eh?

-- Robert A. Cook, PE (cook.r@watchLondrinking.glug), February 23, 2003.


Robert, it's just amazing what you can do with a reboot :-)

-- Tricia the Canuck (jayles@telusplanet.net), February 24, 2003.

Can you re-boot while wearing read socks?

Do you have time to have red socks while re-booting?

(Hah! And you thought this thread was about de-cloaking helen.......)

-- Robert A. Cook, PE (cook.r@watchLondrinking.glug), February 24, 2003.


I've never heard of 'read' socks, but I have writesocks, and left ones too! They both go on my feet, I mean, one at a time, ya know, on each foot---one on the left and one on the write. And I suppose I could try and read them but I ain't never seen nothin to read on 'em. So I guess all IO have is the readless socks. Does that mean they are illegitimate?

Socks are a very serious thing.

-- (sonofdust@watchingRobert.watchingLon), February 25, 2003.


One at a time on each foot? Not lately! I've been wearing TWO pairs of socks. I need to move SOUTH! We had 10" of snow on Sunday and it's been getting down to EIGHT degrees at night. I'm freezing to death! BRRRRRR!!!!!!

Robert, are you picking on poor Lon? I happen to know several FRLians partake of "jiggle juice". Please change your "tag line"!

-- Gayla (privacy@please.com), February 25, 2003.


Poor Gayla! But you do live in the South, don't you?! Somewhere's down there by Texakloma? Now, Gayla, shhhh, come over here, shhhh. Contrary to popular belief, the Earth is not round, it's really an oblique spheroid--(Uh, I think that means it's flat) So please be careful that you don't go too far South or you might fall off the end! After all, we don't want to lose our FRLian Chief Investigatress!!

Now, since ya mentioned jiggle, I have an important question---

Is this a dry thread?

-- (sonofdust@just.wondering), February 25, 2003.


Gayla, thanks so much for taking up for me with Robert (that bully!) Actually, I have been drinking more often this winter. I now can be found with a cup of coffee in my mits about once or twice a week. The missus is a hard-drinking, black coffee kind of gal, so she just looks at me disgustedly and calls what I drink "coffee-milk". I do tend to load it up with cream and sugar, and anything else I can find, even a Hershey's kiss if I have one.

But anyway, I need my comfort food. Just reading about you pore misfortunates wading through sssssnow makes me shiver. I have had enough winter weather this year already, and it's raining AGAIN with temps in the 40's. So, maybe Robert meant "watchingLondrowning".

Rob, I guess this is not a dry thread. I don't think I have a dry thread anymore. But, in two weeks we're off to San Antonio, the Valley, and guacamole in MEXICO!

-- Lon (lgal@exp.net), February 25, 2003.


Changing tag lines ... Do I need to de-cloak helen first?

(Will I knead to get read socks in the write order next time....)

(Helen: No peaking now!)

-- Robert A. Cook, PE (cook.r@tagline.forrent), February 25, 2003.


I peaked several years ago.

You'll recloak me in record time, I'm sure.

-- helen (down@hill.slide), February 25, 2003.


LOL! You guys are funny! :-D

Yes, I'm in Tex-Aaaccck-lahoma. I live in 2 places. The northern- most one is TOO snowy. The southern-most one is too RAINY. I wish there was a happy medium. Or a happy well-done. ;-)

Lon, I drink 60+ ounces of coffee a day and I'm STILL cold! I don't use sugar or I'd be the size of a barn!

Speaking of barns, there is one across from where I live (several hundred yards away) that is on a sheep farm. The little lambs have been born and I feel SO bad for them. They try to run through the 10" of snow to keep up with their moms, but eventually they give up and just make a LOT of noise. Baaa... baaaaaaa.... BAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA. Poor babies!

Helen, you haven't seen yourself naked in several years? Do you shower in the dark? I KNEW you were talented. ;-)

-- Gayla (privacy@please.com), February 27, 2003.


Hmmmmmmn....

Intentseely considering helen's peaked problems.....

(Oh good grief! Now she shut the curtains AND turned off the shower lights!)

LON! Get the ladder. Quick, but be quite about it.

-- Robert A. Cook, PE (cook.r@watchLondrinking.glug), February 27, 2003.


Whenever I need a quiet cornier of the klazy internet I remember y'all.

Do you know Robert... true confessions here... I don't have any red socks! (Blush, blush.) You'd think being at IU I'd have red ones with little white pitchforks on 'em.

Just sock deprived I guess. (Better than depraved.)
