What the hell is that about? One time I followed the link just to see what it was all about and it wanted my cell phone number! Seemed kind of strange to me.

1. My sense of self-esteem
is so low that I automatically assume that anyone who has a crush on me has something terribly wrong with them that probably makes it hurt when I pee.

As it turns out, it's a good defense against other virii.

4. Heidi!
I'm SO glad we didn't make it to a jillion! We might've had to start over!

You might not believe it, but I have listeners in Schweiz, und I often think of you, holding down the fort in the Lounge.

And I don't find it surprising that you have listeners here. :hug:

I was trying to find my Group Captain Mandrake animatation, but I haven't used it since last time I saw you here. I think it's lost!!!! :cry:

6. I'm desperately trying to fit back into the uni!
Today was a weirdly unpleasant day in WV. We set up to do a global broadcast and got cut short on "National Security" grounds. I laid it out on GD-P

Meanwhile, I'm listening to our music show that runs all night Saturdays at www.headonradionetwork.com Sorta takes the sting out.

Has the nation shaken the ugliness that took place in Bern a week ago?

7. I'm pretty sure Switzerland
is used to that sort of thing. Blocher should be soundly spanked for intentionally baiting the far left wing. I'm not defending the violence, but what the hell did Blocher _think_ would happen?

I'll light a candle for you and Head On Radio Network, okay? :hug:

8. Better to light a candle
than to curse the darkness!

Of course, I routeinely curse the darkness just to stay in practice in case I find myself in the company of any right-wingers.

One may not ever endorse violence or property damage, but when one pokes an entire group of volk with a sharp stick, it's little surprise that they yell a collective "Ouch!" (I've got a picture of a hornet's nest I'd insert here if i'd uploaded it yet.) That's the thing about hornets' nests: they tend to go unnoticed till somebody whacks 'em with a stick out of mere chimpanze curiosity.

3. No
People can't even be paid to crush on me.

9. Check the ad at the top of this page. Type in some garbage text and submit


You get a form that asks for your cell phone
number.

It's the only way telemarketers can break into
the cell/text message demographic which is huge.

80% of Finnish teens are compulsive texters. For
perverts and brand spammers that is the big
kahuna of data bases.

Pretty retarded though. I think most people
especially teenagers are too tech savvy to
fall for it.
