Oh, no one picked up on the oozing.

Perhaps too many oo's in the total equation?

QUOZ

(yes its a word, no i eschew scrabble then spit it out)

MOUNTING EVIDENCE that Tryagain, wandeljw and oolongteasup are one and the same

1. always in the same room but never seen together

2. like 3 sides of 1 coin, the head, the tail and the bit around the rim

3. one amusing, one amusement, one a muse

QED

Reasonable theory, since all 3 use sarcasm.

Sarcasm is not limited to that triumvirate.

TRIUMVIRATE

OED , nay largely owed, definitively TRI pensively UMV, coquettishly IRATE

iphonely he would return the calls charged against another

in other news: i am and it's been

SPECIAL

Unsettling thoughts that Tryagain may not return. After he visited me in Chicago, I sent him off on an interstate highway and assured him that it goes directly to Hawaii.

The man who helped invent the system and one of the world's leading computer scientists, said that the web does not have enough unique codes that allow computers to communicate with each other.

He said that when the internet protocol (IP) addresses do run out, the connectivity of the internet will be damaged and some computers will not be able to go online.


"This is like the internet running out of telephone numbers and with no new numbers, you can't have more subscribers," he said

Preparations had to be made now, he said, to switch addresses to a new system.

When the internet was founded in 1977 there were 4.2 billion addresses available under the internet protocol version four (IPv4) system.

Each of the IPv4 addresses has a series of 32 binary numbers, but with the rapid expansion of broadband across the world, it is estimated that these addresses will run out by 2010.

A new system called IPv6 has been ready for a decade and is already used in Japan to connect thousands of earthquake sensors through a computer system that sends automatic alerts to television programmes and turns traffic lights red.

IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long and so provide a possible 340 trillion, trillion, trillion address space.

We're back.

'xellent! So what's for dinner?

Y'know, I'm not sure. Whatever's fast. And what's for dinner by you?

Zarzuela for me:

Appetizing to say the least. Francis is our culinary expert and puts the rest of
us to shame. While Boston is still deciding on a suitable dinner menue,
us Californians try to cope with a cloudy, rainy Sunday, which is so unusual
for mid May. Dinner will be something soupy and hearty to get warm.

Boston A2Kers now rooting for Chicago to win the Stanley Cup.

Chicago, oof.

I used to live outside of Philly. This is why I am instead concentrating on the Celtics.

Ever considered that every dog has it's day and hell hath no fury like A2K membership scorned! This was the idle threat uttered by T R Yagain when he realized that Jespah had a personal website; the address of which was unknown to him due in no small part to his being out of the loupe. It was recommended that he have an eye test.

In local news; there have been calls for a 2,000-calorie milkshake that is the equivalent of 68 rashers of bacon or 30 chocolate chip cookies has been dubbed the worst drink in the U.S. to be banned from the A2K lounge.

Called the Cold Stone PB&C, the fat-laden drink made with chocolate ice cream, milk and peanut butter, the Cold Stone PB&C packs a whopping 2,010 calories, 131 grams of fat - 68 grams of which is saturated - and a massive 153 grams of sugar.

It topped the Men's Health 20 Worst Drinks in America 2010 list, beating a McDonald's Triple Thick Chocolate Milkshake to the post.

As the West coast heats up, rumors that C-Jane will be entering a wet T-shirt competition have not as yet been denied. Sadly the pictures of Izzie and Tulip cavorting in sun kissed sparkling water droplets have failed to surface on the forum. Seeing them would inextricably raise expectations.

Sales of A2K raconteur JW Wandle's new book titled 'The Best Jokes I Know' slowed somewhat when it was discovered it didn't contain any pages.

Je ne sais quoi.

Failure of my new book is due to the fact that I only write jokes to amuse myself.

Good humor is hard to come by and that's the reason our correspondent from
Chicago has decided to take matters in his own hands. His new book is designed to humor him and himself only. Editor in chief, T.R.Again was the first one to receive a hardcopy - however, he has used up all pages at the loo.

Havlicek may have stolen the ball, but are the Lakers merely renting it? The irony of it all is that I also have a new laptop. I have named it Carl.
