You People Are Way Out of Line!

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

You'd better straighten up before you get backhanded. Why do you keep talking about stuff. This whole internet thing is simply out of control and needs to be regulated.

These big issues affecting our economy are best handled by leaders, not you teaming masses. You people are about to ruin everything. Look, this y2k thing is a management nightmere. We don't know what's going to happen, so the elite (that's not you, by the way) have got to go on the written record as giving token warnings and so forth. That way, if something really bad happens, there are literally dozens of documents to point to to show that there was due diligence and open discussion.

You people are being extremely rude by publicizing these protective statements. They are not meant to be operative statements. They are just to be archived in case needed later for political or legal reasons. It's really not any of your business. If government or big business thought you had something important to say about y2k, then you would have been bought off, I mean "hired" long ago.

Now it's high time for you people to git back in line! That's right, git!! Quit your claptrap about economics, money supply, stock bubbles, operating systems, cascading cross defaults, JIT, panic, government paranoia, propaganda, big lies, PR, marketing, perception management, reserve ratios, fractional reserve banking, Herstatt risk, fully functioning infrastructure, humanitarian consequences, shills, know-your-customer rules, compliancy, readiness, vendor certification, vendor post-certification decertification, CIA, Commerce Department, State Department, GAO, Scott "No PC's In Y2K" McNeely,M-curves, Banker's Sermons, why go on.

The point is that you people have never acted like this before. Hell, the elite used to be able to march you right up to a "nukular" explosion with a pair of Ray-Bans and some Bain de Soleil. The elite had you thinking that cigarettes were digestive aids. The elite never really anticipated that all of a sudden you'd start using your head for something other than a hat-rack.

There might be some way to pay all of you idiots to just shut up. The elite will have to figure out a way to do that eventually. It's probably too late to do that anyway with this y2k thing. The elite better figure out where all this "forum" crap could have been nipped in the bud, and they better figure it out before the next propaganda event.

Probably if we just get Bill Gates together in a room with that Strobe Talbott guy we can get some kind of head start on this problem. You people really know how to irritate an elite person.

They can easily pay me off. Let see, 45000 to pay off my students loans, 120000 for a modest house and maybe 40000 for two cars....yeah that will do it. I promise I won't yell about my liberty or any shadowy, subversive operatives...no black helicopters, no white UN vans, no new weird alien vehicles, never saw em, don't know what you are talking about....Oh boy do I ever promise! DEAL?!

This was a wonderful ironic piece.... ....

You would be that easily paid off...? 40,000 for two new cars...??? Naw... Give me Liberty... Or give me Death...

-- STFrancis (STFrancis@heaven.com), October 21, 1999.


I've changed my mind.......Screw the deal..I'll file bankruptcy (my education sucked anyway), Buy a bus ticket, and move back in with my parents....there, no problem, dont need your payoff....Liberty forever!

PS: I could use maybe 400 or so for a nice GLOCK to defend my renewed sense of liberty.

Lou, that was a sarcastic post by a Yourdonite who's bored and just wants to vent.

Welcome to the board if you're new.

Creosote,

Great post. If you could put a Cajun accent on it, it could pass as a James Carville piece.

You're not really a paranoid until you're worried about chemicals coming out of jets 30,000 feet over your head.

Would you care for an after dinner mint? It is only wafer-thin.

No, I can't hold another bite. Buuuut . . . If it's only a "waffer" thin mint . . .

Creosote,

Check your tinfoil hat. I think there's a hole in it somewhere! <:)=

You deign to speak of my wafer-thin aluminium bowler as a "tinfoil hat"? Philistine!

-- The Creosote Exxplosion! (A@Arealstickymess.com), October 21, 1999.

Gee thanks for telling me. Boy, I sure feel stupid for fixing my code to make it compliant. I guess you've said it. Listening to people like you, I shouldn't have bothered.

-- Larry (cobol.programmer@usa.net), October 21, 1999.

Buy me off - please.

Anybody that knows me knows I'm for sale, Hell, that what I do for a living (ie Computer Consultant).

Most people know I'm not even all that expensive.

This buyin stuff is WAY overlooked. Some of us at the office did some calculations back during the attacks on those "terrible" Serbs. We came up with some dollar figures that Uncle Sam was spending to destroy various "assets" of the Serbs: about 40-50 THOUSAND for a barn and about 100-125 THOUSAND for a small commercial building.

I'm almost sure if we had just hired the Serbs to burn thier own stuff at those prices we could have stayed home and saved the gas.

Now that would be your tax dollars more wisely spent. (But not nearly as entertaining. And those fun-loving prankster elites in DC are probably back at again already.)

oh, well.

Greybear, most definitely they'd take us up on the "wanna just burn your stuff down yourself?" offer next time around.

Man, what awfully true cynicism...

What's the 'creosote exxplosion' refer to? Anybody know?

-- lisa (lisa@ddd.dd), October 21, 1999.


Damn, that was funny, Creosote...More! More!

You mean the local chimney cleaning guy planted a miniature electronic surveillance device in my chimney instead of cleaning it liked I paid him to? KABOOM! Creosote Exxplosion!

-- (RUOK@yesiam.com), October 21, 1999.


Brilliant satire.

Lisa: "Mr. Creosote" is a character from the Monty Python movie, "The Meaning of Life." I can't begin to describe... better just rent it.

In the "Meaning of Life" that one last "theeeen wafeeer" was a doosie.

-- Dog Gone (layinglow@rollover.now), October 21, 1999.

Mr. Creosote,

Why do you come into forums like this? You're obviously one of the sheeple who shouldn't be in here. Where did you get your education? You deserve a refund! I can't believe people can be so naive.

-- ChefTRD (cheftrd@hotmail.com), October 21, 1999.


I'm sorry, so sorry...I didn't mean to make you cry. Actually, I could be paid off. But fair warning; my spending habits could make the Pentagon blush.

-- Gia (laureltree7@hotmail.com), October 21, 1999.

I could be bought off too. Couple mil in gold, couple in silver and couple in cash, and OH YEAH, there's this house in Bratenahl.......

o yeah. bratenahl. gotta love it.

All that ranting and raving and not one mention of Waco, rice, beans, toilet paper or mud wrestling. Are we sure this post wasn't a farce?
