A weak wave

I’m being neglectful, but I’ve been sick as the proverbial dog for two days now, and I’m totally sapped. (Why is it a dog? Why not sick as a rat or a monkey or a kangaroo?)

So, anyway. For now I’ll share an error message I encountered today. (It was less funny at the time because I actually wanted to see the page.)

I The user is too stupid

The page you are looking for refuses to load because you’re too
stupid. The Web site doesnt feel like working with you around.
And don’t go trying to adjust your browser settings, he thinks you’re a retard as well.

Please try the following:

* Jump Off a cliff, or repeatedly hit yourself on the head with a hammer.
* If you are an AOL user, you get bonus retard points and we’ll send someone over to ram a broken bottle up your ass.
* Do the internet a favor, and get offline. Forever.
* If you’re a Microsoft Windows user, please uninstall it and try a real OS next time. If you dont know how, or can’t, uninstall Windows, then curl up in your sock drawer and cry yourself to sleep.
* Some sites require you to be intelligent. Try revisiting them after you got a life.
* If you are trying to reach a secure site, make sure your Security settings can support it. Click the Tools menu, and then click Internet Options. Change whatever you want; people will find a way to steal your credit card number regardless.
* Click the back button Back button to try another link. Yes, let’s go with that: try another link.
* If nothing of this helped, then please dont send the site owner an email.

    You can be sick as a parrot, too.

    Did I mention I’m in week four of the Sore Throat That Wouldn’t Die?

    As an antidote to my astonishingly grumpy earlier post, can I just say:-

    Get Well Soon, Shan! :dance:

    Or the evil :penguin: will get you.

    (((Anna))) Been to the doctor yet?

    Thank you, everybody. I’m feeling a bit better, and I’m actually going to try to go to bed before midnight to get a little extra rest.

    (Hmmmmmm. I could lose the snoring smilie. nobody ever uses him. I’d like to grab a couple more fun guys, but it’s getting outrageous up there. I’ll have to sacrifice some to make room.)

    (You know, but not now because I’m :write:)
