[Steven E. Protter]

A wee bit of advice. The real big guns have very high(nearly all 100%) rates on point dispersal. Even zero points for useless replies count.

I had to invest an hour going through my list of responses to track down all those I'd previously passed over.

So, nobody has time to make me laugh? How about a 10 minute meeting five days a week? Aaarrrgh!

Chairman:
Item six on the agenda: the meaning of life.
Now, uh, Harry, you've had some thoughts on this.

Harry:
That's right.
Yeah, I've had a team working on this over the past few weeks, and, uh, what we've come up with can be reduced to two fundamental concepts.
One: People are not wearing enough hats.
Two: Matter is energy.
In the universe there are many energy fields which we cannot normally perceive.
Some energies have a spiritual source which act upon a person's soul.
However this soul does not exist ab initio as orthodox Christianity teaches; it has to be brought into existence by a process of guided self observation.
However, this is rarely achieved, owing to man's unique ability to be distracted from spiritual matters by everyday trivia.

Bert:
What was that about hats, again?

[Pete Randall]

So you want to turn this into a humor thread? OK:


A high school English teacher reminds her class of tomorrow's final exam.

"Now class, I won't tolerate any excuses for you not being there tomorrow. I might consider a nuclear attack or a serious personal injury or illness, or a death in your immediate family - but that's it. No other excuses whatsoever."

The class smart-aleck in the back of the room raises his hand and asks, "What would you say if tomorrow I said I was suffering from complete and utter sexual exhaustion?"

The entire class does its best to stifle their laughter and snickering. When silence is finally restored, the teacher smiles sympathetically at the student, shakes her head, and sweetly says, "Well, I guess you'd have to write the exam with your other hand."

(Hope you feel better, Steven)

[Steven E. Protter]

Pete gets the joke point.

I do apologize if anyone finds this disrespectful. I'm trying to have fun, work through two tough deadlines and blah, blah blah.

I want this thread to be memorable.

Thanks for the get well wishes.

Sweet, this must be new hat week.

A few life pointers and proverbs to live by.

Wherever you go, there you are.

We shall see what we shall see and sometimes what we see will surprise and amuse us.

You will own both parts when it breaks in two.

We never know how long we have in this life, it may be over tomorrow.

You can never have enough toys or a fast enough computer.

There is never enough time to do everything you want to do for as long as you want to do it.

Money does not buy happiness, but it sure helps along the way.

Congrats XMAN! ;)

Congratulations XMAN!

You've made fast work of that second hat. We'll be doing this again soon at this rate.

[Paul Sperry]

Congratulations XMAN

At this rate you'll be a wizard in no time!

[Adam J Markiewicz]

Oh my Goodnesss..... What was it?

All I remember is someone looking just like XMAN comming my way. Boy, he was in a hurry. And all those points, more and more every minute. He was closer and closer.

When I woke up we was already gone, far, far in front...

Don't have mercy on the others also XMAN!
Keep The Speed!

The fisrt XMANs point... O man - who can remember that? ;)

Good luck

Xman,

In the now immortal words of Charlie Brown, ???Good Grief!???

I know it wasn???t that long ago that we had a thread for your first hat (I should know, I???m still nursing the wounds from starting that one! ;-)

What???s the big idea in passing that one up so fast?? Didn???t even give me time to heal properly. I???ll remember that???

On a more serious note, I think I would take SEP???s advice and go back through your response list. It almost seems bad manners for a higher-ranking member to be negligent on their own point assignments. I would try not to be too stingy in the points assignments as well or others may take your lead and do the same to you. If it???s a totally worthless post, then it???s worth nothing, but if they tried and just misunderstood the point of the question it???s still worth 1-3 (based on the suggestions put out on the forum). Just some things that I have noticed in my time watching the forums???

On a less serious note, I can see that you must not have been studying too hard on the HP???UX Administration Certification over the last two weeks (yes, it has only been two weeks since your first hat). You haven???t had time to study with all of the posting you have been doing to this forum! Are you trying to break some forum speed record??

Dude, you need to slow down some. You???re making me look bad ;-P~~



Steven,

Sorry to hear that your whole family is down and out. That definitely makes things tough. Hope you all get better soon.

Thanks for starting this thread. At the rate this young man is going, we???re all going to have to share in starting these for him or we could ware one person to the bone just managing them all!

[Steven E. Protter]

Thanks for the get well wishes.

Shalom Steven,

I'm really impressed and surprised for being congrats for my Second HAT. You're making me going faster and faster. I need to study dude.
I won't forget the first point. It was given by a month and a couple weeks ago( if I'm not mistaken).

How about this, perhaps it is not a joke but it's fun: Click on each horse and have fun.

Thanks again for investing your time and efforts.

Thanks to all of you guys. I'm not gonna sit back and relax till I get my Wizard HAT.

THANKS JOHN COLLIER for your advice, I owe JON Finly some points.

Once again thanks everyone. Enjoy your life and have fun.
