:lol: Opera has been giving me 'proxy errors' all morning.:eyes:

my god! there is an error in the comic :D

By Quinnuendo, # 9. July 2008, 21:10:57

I've been getting the proxy errors (again) today, too.

As for errors, I don't mind when I make 'em. I don't like them at all when they are both not my fault and unavoidable. :lol:

:lol: That one pwns.

I should create one to express my level of frustration with this crappy hotel Internet connection. It's pretty much the least consistent connection I've ever had to deal with. Very frustrating. :irked:

:eyes: dont worry it really isnt the hotel connection; it is Opera's servers :whistle:

:devil:

:right: Except for all those other websites you can't hit, either. :left:

By noah counte, # 10. July 2008, 00:45:55

Trust me - it's the connection. This is like dial-up's white trash cousin. :down:

By Nerak, # 10. July 2008, 01:37:21

Warsh the connectors.

:lol: I'll have the maids do it!

I just have to remember not to ask for an extra towel. :eyes:


By Nerak, # 10. July 2008, 01:45:41

:yikes:

Try this: "Por favor, ¿puedo tener una toalla?"

[Link to strip] was the message for your post! What is that? And what is an error 403? I've never seen that one before, and it popped up when I signed out earlier. How can I make an error signing out? :confused:

By DBabbit, # 10. July 2008, 03:27:12

avatar
Yeah, but I need a pronunciation key. :eyes:

By Nerak, # 10. July 2008, 03:35:52

403 is an access error - you don't have permission to do something. Chances are, it's Opera's servers acting up - especially if you see it accessing your own profile (or log out) information.

When Opera shows the first part of a post, it shows the body. I used advanced options with an introductory paragraph (if you browse down from my main blog page, you'll see "Read More" for most of my posts. The initial paragraph doesn't show up in the notification, and neither does the html in my flash viewer. All you see is the remaining text - which in this case appears under the flash viewer - a link to an image of the strip that should render in the viewer (but which doesn't always work). How's that for complicated?

Karen, just say it really fast and look Spanish.

By noah counte, # 10. July 2008, 03:58:14

avatar
:lol: Look Spanish? Do tell me how I'm supposed to go about doing that. Keep in mind that I'm 5'9". :eyes:

By Nerak, # 10. July 2008, 04:07:12

avatar
Karen, all you have to do is drop by Wal-Mart's and pick up a couple of women's blouses - make sure they have ruffles, hideous colors and large patterns. :Yuck: I myself have been shopping in the men's department - plain colored shirts suit me fine. :lol:

By DBabbit, # 10. July 2008, 04:57:35

avatar
Me? In hideously colored ruffles?! :eyes: I just can't bring myself to wear a puffy shirt...especially a tacky colored one! Homer: Doh!

By Nerak, # 10. July 2008, 05:36:52

avatar
There ought to be a law against any type of clothing with ruffles, and colors that clash :coffee:

By DBabbit, # 10. July 2008, 07:21:14

avatar
I second that motion! :yes:

By Nerak, # 10. July 2008, 15:05:42

avatar
Heck, there ought to be a law against all clothing! :lol:

By noah counte, # 10. July 2008, 15:28:28

avatar
Except for in the winter. :eyes:

By Nerak, # 10. July 2008, 17:47:48

avatar
And there should be a welders' exception...

By noah counte, # 10. July 2008, 18:00:26

avatar
:lol: OUCH!

By Nerak, # 10. July 2008, 18:03:00

avatar
Exactly!

By noah counte, # 10. July 2008, 18:06:02

:lol:

and probably in the kitchen, where the hot grease sprays :smile:

oh and parachuters. there was a video available of some guys jumping of the plane naked. well one of them didn't strap in the thingy as he should, so there was a lot of flaping around... ehm. probably painful.

ah if we continue naming exceptions... we could end up with a very long law :smile:

By Quinnuendo, # 10. July 2008, 19:25:54

avatar
Heck, we might as well all wear clothes, then! :lol:

By noah counte, # 10. July 2008, 19:40:54

Bah! :down:

By Nerak, # 10. July 2008, 20:37:22

I hear the welders union grumbling. A leather apron will do them nicely. :lol:

By DBabbit, # 10. July 2008, 21:40:33

avatar
Hmmm...:idea:...I think I could handle seeing a studly welder in nothing but a leather apron...although pleather would be more attractive since it's animal friendly. :D

By Nerak, # 10. July 2008, 21:55:45

avatar
You're right, Karen, pleather would be more attractive - from the cow's point of view. :D However, it's made from fossil fuels. Also, leather doesn't burn as easily as pleather, which would melt under high heat.

Either way, the making of pleather and leather cause environmental hazards. And, since meat from cows is being eaten, then it makes sense to use the hides to make leather instead of just throwing it into the landfills. I would prefer that the cows be allowed to graze on grass instead of force fed a diet of hormones, antibiotics, and garbage, and tanning should be done in a plant that uses a chromium recovery system.

Apron? I'm surprised you didn't go with chaps.

By noah counte, # 11. July 2008, 12:41:00

avatar
The perfect solution is vegetarianism! :yes:

Chaps are too...uh...I dunno. I am not a fan of chaps, I guess. I'm all over a tiny little Speedo, though. Yeah...especially when it's on a 65 year old man with mewbs. :o:


:sst: I just had to teach Aspell the word "mewbs".

Ha. Ask and ye shall receive.

By noah counte, # 12. July 2008, 20:16:35

Yeah, but I didn't ask!

By Nerak, # 12. July 2008, 20:22:15

Wh00ps. Color me embarassed!

Oh, okay! I just happen to have a crayon right here!!!

By Nerak, # 13. July 2008, 07:38:16

Where's my censored button?

I dunno, but I hope you don't find it. That'd take all the fun away. p:

Hey you two! It's gauche to point and laugh! p:

That is where rebellion comes into play. :devil:

By Nerak, # 16. July 2008, 18:15:24

I reread what I wrote, and thought I misspelled "gauche." I hate that.

I'm a crappy rebel. I mean, I'm all for rebellion, as long as everything is spelled correctly.

By noah counte, # 16. July 2008, 18:28:47

avatar
That's not being a crappy rebel. That's being a decent citizen!

By Nerak, # 16. July 2008, 19:09:43

avatar
Heheh. Better spelling for everyone!

By noah counte, # 16. July 2008, 19:21:35

You should have to spell "Oxygen" in order to receive it.

By Nerak, # 16. July 2008, 20:48:32

avatar
Or at least "air."

By noah counte, # 16. July 2008, 20:51:53

:lol: Your standards are much lower than mine are.
