The Shoutbox
« on: March 13, 2009, 07:30:42 PM »

The new shoutbox gives a very nice twist to the forum. Of course things get typed there which are humorous, insulting, stupid etc.

so this is a Hectar thread for the shoutbox

This one made me *almost* spray my sip of wine over the keyboard

The worst is the 100 Madacy Kids songs that someone gave Ian.  If any of you are parents or become parents or even think about listening to children's music.  Just say no to the Madacy kids.  Freakin' pod kids.

The Shoutbox discussion reminded me of Raised on Robbery by Joni Mitchell:

He was sitting in the lounge of the Empire Hotel
He was drinking for diversion
He was thinking for himself
A little money riding on the Maple Leafs
Along comes a lady in lacy sleeves
She says let me sit down
You know, drinkin' alone's a shame
It's a shame it's a crying shame
Look at those jokers
Glued to that damn hockey game
Hey honey-you've got lots of cash
Bring us round a bottle
And we'll have some laughs
Gin's what I'm drinking
I was raised on robbery

I'm a pretty good cook
I'm sitting on my groceries
Come up to my kitchen
I'll show you my best recipe
I try and I try but I can't save a cent
I'm up after midnight cooking
Trying to make my rent
I'm rough but I'm pleasin'
I was raised on robbery

We had a little money once
They were pushing through a four lane highway
Government gave us three thousand dollars
You should have seen it fly away
First he bought a '57 Biscayne
He put it in the ditch
He drunk up all the rest
That son of a bitch
His blood's bad whiskey
I was raised on robbery

You know you ain't bad looking
I like the way you hold your drinks
Come home with me honey
I ain't asking for no full length mink
Hey, where you going
Don't go yet
Your glass ain't empty and we just met
You're mean when your loaded
I was raised on robbery

The shoutbox also reminded me of Dilbert classic related to an older one that I can't find where the accounting troll informs Dilbert that the company policy is for him to stun a pigeon with his briefcase and then cook it on the iron provided by the hotel.  Dilbert replies that it didn't really cook on the iron.  The accounting troll tells him to use the wool setting.
