mt st helens

[goatschool]

is gonna blow up again?

 

[goatschool]

but here's the other thing: the world is supposed to end via alien spacecraft impact in mexico circa the 29th of this month, according to terry johnson ('alien expert')—haven't read up on that too much yet—but that theory/date also coincides with the asteroid toutatis passing within a million miles of earth... wednesday!

victory, by toutatis!

 

[minxnim]

great, now the world is going to end. maybe i shouldn't bother meeting with my uncle frank to talk about going back to school then anyway?

 

[lizard]

dammit I guess this ends my hopes of taking that XP class next month...these end-of-the-worlders really know how to dash a guy's hopes.

 

[mindspell]

I really don't think you need any XP class, unless you really are masochistic.

 

[goatschool]

wait a sec. you need a class in windows XP?

 

[lizard]

I don't particularly think I need it from an end-user's perspective but I want it for the administrator side.

i have a bottle of the original mt st helens eruption ashes, somewhere in storage @ my parents' house. at least, that's what the person who gave it to me (circa 1981) claimed it was...

just simple stuff that I'm called upon to do, like, right click on my computer, manage, device manager, stuff like that.

i would like to take a class in windows XP. not so much "here's how you make shortcuts" as "here's how to figure out what went wrong when your fucking computer freezes and fix it without repaving your hard drive".

 

[goatschool]

while we're off-topic, i want to bring up the idea of what i call the 'upstate NY white guy grunge'. i know it doesn't exactly roll off the tongue, and is indeed a gestalt cliche, but still. i cite GIN BLOSSOMS as the prototype.

 

[minxnim]

egads i know that type. seriously they don't even know they're doing it.

GOATEES GALORE

maybe if mt. st. helens explodes it will catapult that the mummified remains of that old guy who wouldn't leave the last time into a neighboring county and or state.

here's the old goat, Harry Truman

not only did he kill himself, he let his cats die as well. fucker.

 

[xfer]

i seem to recall that his family sued or something because he wasn't manhandled off the propitty by jackbooted thugs.

 

[lizard]

every story about him refers to him as "crusty" or "Crotchedy"

I think I would have settled for "asshole"

I dreamt the world was ending on Saturday night

 

[xfer]

[goatschool]
