Archivers Discuss Peeps
Posted by Joey on 23 April 2003, 08:32 GMT

ticalc.org was down from about 4:45 to 6:20 GMT today. Unable to add files for more than 1.5 hours, Morgan and I consoled each other, discussed marshmallow Peeps, and waited for the site to come back up. Somehow, life moves on.

Update (Joey): Despite the red border, everything mentioned in this article actually happened. The only reason it is red is because it is "funny".

Bottom of the bucket

I think the guys responsible for the news are scraping the bottom of the bucket. While humorous, it is pointless. But I am not saying that it should not have been posted. I am saying that someone needs to do something interesting. Anyone. Seriously, be creative, I wish I could.

How about the on-calc C compiler? It (and a few other programs are) talked about at http://www.ccoderz.org (Good idea, JcN!)

Why is it that so many people are in love with cheeze?

Cheese

I don't know. If you think about how cheese is made, it is pretty disgusting.

I don't care how high my metabolism is I still don't pig out on greasy foods, especially ones with a whole lot of cheeze. I'm 5'11", 130 lbs and people are supprised with how much I eat. I need food about every three hours or less (depends on if I'm just sitting around) and it drives me nuts!

Peeps? Hmm.....
[puts on philisophical thinking cap]
Hmm... Since people=peep, peoples=peeps.
Since we are all peoples, we are all peeps.
Since we are all peeps, it stands to reason that the phrase "You are what you eat" is actually valid. Amazing what logic can do for you, no?
Anyway...
Yeah, when I saw the site was down I tried to ping it, but to no avail. Then I pinged myself and watched the computer play ping-pong-ping-pong...

That's sad :)

Pinging can cause lag-time... can't it?

Only massive pinging, or if one end is on a 300 baud modem. :p

Ping

I pinged myself, but on a cabel modem, it was too fast, and it did not do anything noticible to my system.

But it still really happened. Besides, you don't put the red border on right away!

mmmmm, peeps...
I just finished three three-packs of them...

Too bad you can't toast them over an open fire... they burst into flames...

Peeps + Red Bull + Coffee + More Peeps = ?
a. SUPER Sugar high
b. A really bad headache
c. A stomachache
d. An appetite for more Peeps

What about "F)the runs"? That sounds like a recipe for explosive diarrhea to me.

How nice you bring up coffee. My dad creams his coffee with a peep around Easter time. It is so eerie when the peep dissolves into a floating marshmallow slick and those beady little eyes remain intact.

Those dark and unblinking brown beady little eyes.

Man, when my mom makes coffee in the morning, and the aroma fills the house, one cannot help but have a cup. I cannot wait the next 3 hours to get another cup.

Heck, I (a freshman) drink a morning cup of coffee and that's not enough some days.

I hate the smell and taste of coffee. BTW it is a laxative. You might as well drink exlax or something.

     25 April 2003, 19:05 GMT


Exlax
W Hibdon  Account Info

Have you ever had exlax when not constipated? Coffee is not anywhere close. It was given to me as a prank, and it took me several years to realize that that is what had happened. But coffee is nothing compared.

LOL, sorry to here about that man. I know that coffee is a mild laxative but still, I had to say it.

I'm hurt

Hey, are you laughing at my pain? That is cold. :)

Seriously though, coffee is good if you are trying to flush you're system, for some reason. Not that I would know of any. Who are you looking at? Stop it.

-Uh, anyway, I am W-

My laughing is acompanied with pity and sorry. Most people would do the same if it didn't happen to them.

     26 April 2003, 00:36 GMT


Not really hurt
W Hibdon  Account Info

Yeah, when I sit around, and it comes to mind, I laugh too. I only wish I could remember enough to know how it happened. Crap. I know now.

Someone did not want their whole drink.
