Bad DB Server! Bad!

I told you--Purina Hamster Chow is the only thing!

re: #1 Iron Fist

Bad DB Server! Bad!

I'm not leaving a tip.

Whew. I was going through serious LGF withdrawal.

This too, shall pass.

"Hello, I'm Balky, and I'll be your server today."

I like open threads.

Perhaps hamsters aren't the way to power a server. Perhaps ferrets, or frisky kittens.

Sorry to hear there are problems. I just about went into convulsions when I couldn't access the site for 15 minutes. :D

Aaaaaaah. Much better.

We're BAAAAAAACK.

I had a cranky Chili's server once.

the hamsters have unionized?

I thought the hamsters were getting groomed while Charles got a haircut.

re: #8 Mardukhai

Too much mischief. Besides, can you imagine when the kittens decided it was time to sleep? No warning, just a sudden crash.

re: #12 theparson

I had a cranky Chili's server once.

Only once? You have good waiter karma!

Remember, lizards.

In case of emergency, click here.

Maybe we need to tip the server more?

"'Zevrything all right? Who had the house salad?"

Updated for the Obama seal clubbing:
Don Obama clubs a seal in Chicago

We can all share our strategies for coping without LGF!

I tried doing some 'work', and while the time didn't exactly fly by, eventually LGF was back, and I could put that behind me!

In all seriousness, I found out that both my boss and our supervisor were laid off today. Gonna be time to update the ol' resume tonight, that's for sure.

^_WHEW!

re: #22 Stinky Beaumont

Just a quick test here...

Reading you five by five, Mr. Beaumont.

Whew, I was starting to show withdrawal symptoms there.

MYSql is a very good dbms; ever give postgresql a try though? Both are great for the price but considering the traffic and data served up from your site, I wonder how performance would compare? From what I understand, Postgresql handles concurrency better. But I am unfamiliar with PHP support with it. For what that is worth. :)

re: #21 nikis-knight
Yes, unfortunately when mgmt goes- staff are often next. Not always, but...

What? EOM

That didn't last long.

While we don't have full details, someone at Obama's press center, when asked if the seal would be used going forward said simply, "No."

Uh, oh, I quoted a deleted post!

re: #30 Dar ul Harb

You're f*cked now.

It had to be said!

re: #29 razorbacker

What did I miss?! What got deleted?

Man I'm starting to rely on this place too much...

Whew...I thought you'd never be back..
Look Basketball season is over.. I need you!
Don't let that server crash again!
/The hoopster pacing back and forth eyeing another bottle of Merlot..should I or shouldn't I...?
If I do..i'm blaming you.

Whew, finally back up.

Those hamsters don't realize the power they hold in their little furry feet.

Thank goodness though, I had to resort to reading the DKos to pass the time.

Oh for what it's worth, Kos is going to be on Olbermann tonight.

Talk about adding insult to injury ...

re: #36 Stinky Beaumont

That monkey wrench gives me the creeps.

re: #36 Stinky Beaumont

Love the avatar. Is that the banning stick or the server repair tool?

Somebody's a sloooooooow learner.

Oh thank god. I thought I was the only one who did that.

It has not been a pleasant afternoon...

re: #29 razorbacker

I'm glad it's gone. But it should never have been used at all!

re: #34 theparson

What did I miss?! What got deleted?

The database hamsters got too close to Obama's ego and were crushed by tidal forces.

re: #42 BGOH

Yeah, got to keep an eye on the dark side once in a while.

Stinky deleted himself?

re: #44 Dar ul Harb

Unh uh! You stay away from me. You're the reposter.

Workin in a coal mine, goin down down down...

re: #23 littleoldlady

^_WHEW!

Indeed! :)

These aren't the hamsters that I once knew.

re: #33 OldLineTexan

I saw this!

Obama dumpa da possumus.

All possums eventually end up under a bus.

re: #46 The Other Les

Inverse exhibitionist.

That is a pipe wrench.

Agreed, but I'm trying to quit drinking. Those little excursions certainly don't help.

My Vision for America
Posted by Frank J. at 11:10 AM

I'm afraid conservatives aren't very engaged in politics right now as it doesn't look like we'll have any candidates to fight for in the near future. Still, we need to have our own vision for the future to continue to work towards. With all the second guessing about Iraq, it's starting to look like we'll never be able to assert ourselves confidentially overseas again. That won't do. I envision and continue to envision an America that knows to do what is right and doesn't care about popularity on the world stage. In short, I envision an America that's confident enough in itself to be an asshole.

MY VISION FOR AMERICA

I want an America with foreign policy like the Incredible Hulk: You make us angry, we smash the crap out of everything.

I want an America that will take a crap on some other nation's lawn, and then that nation will thank us just for acknowledging their existence.

I want an America that causes contiguous countries to build their own walls on our border in a vain attempt to protect themselves.

I want an America that will invite itself into other nation's houses, drink all their beer, piss on their furniture, and the only thing we worry about afterwards is where to get more booze.

I want an America that's always looking for cool new things to nuke.

I want an America that declares war on Saturn and bullies all the other nations into joining us on the declaration.

I want an America that shows up drunk and looking for a fight to every U.N. meeting.

I want an America that invades the next Islamic country that pisses us off and then forcefully converts everyone there to Wiccan just because we think that would be funny.

I want an America that is all for passing tons of international laws and regulations with the running assumption that none of them, of course, applies to us.

I want an America that other nations are less concerned about receiving foreign aid from than not receiving our foreign detriment.

I want an America that surprises other countries by busting right through the wall yelling, "Oh yeah!" just like the Kool-Aid guy.

I want an America that announces there should only be six continents and it has a sentimental attachment to Antarctica.

I want an America that causes other countries to pay Rand McNally to get themselves delisted.

It's not the one with the nipples.

re: #53 GeeWiz

That is a pipe wrench.

Shoot. And here I am needing to loosen up a monkey. Guess I'll go get my toolbox.

Main page is still down, but was able to get in thru Fallback.

Of course I see this right after I post there.

re: #56 The Other Les

Of course Obama appears to be as mentally dense as a neutron star...

Well, it would be impolitic to refer to him as an African-American Hole.

Charles and Stinky have been whacking each other for days now.

I dig in deeper when the nukes start flying.

MASSIVE
OVERKILL,

Well we're up. And I was actually getting some work done. /Gotta stop doing that...

A little harsh, but I'm down with it.

re: #69 buzzsawmonkey

chaaaa ching!

Though the "O" does look like a cipher.

re: #5 rawmuse

This too, shall pass.

I said that about my brother's kidney stone. He didn't find it funny.

Charles - When you get the chance, please check your DNS. It seems as if the Ads from vizu.com and other places are slowing down the hamsters.

I knew someone who worked in ammunition storage at Fort Benning who thought George Carlin had already died in 1985.

Nothing funny about kidney stones. They're proof that Stan exists.

re: #82 Kragar (proud to be kafir)

I hate that freakin Stan!

I was having withdrawal symptoms while the server was down. I actually had to look elsewhere for the news.
It is Charles Johnson appreciation time again.

re: #78 Kragar (proud to be kafir)

Someone photoshopped Jerry Hall's legs.

I want the kind of America where everyone holds hands and drinks a Coke together, where little cartoon bluebirds sing sweetly and land on your shoulder, where Tom catches Jerry and gives him a big kiss and a hug!

Braaaack---sounds a bit bodily functiony

re: #82 Kragar (proud to be kafir)

So I hear...and fear. I don't want kidney stones.

Did you hear the server is young.
It's inexperienced.
It has a funny name
It's black.

It has a fiesty hard drive

Kid Kneestones was a pretty good welterweight in his day.

Aren't there any laws in Britain prohibiting the desecration of a corpse?

I'm pretty sure that Ron Woods is dead, and you'll never convince me that Keith Richards is alive. I mean, Patti's obviously got her hand up his behind working him like a ventriloquist's dummy. Look at the pictures for Pete's sake.

re: #96 buzzsawmonkey

You're thinking of Kid Minneapolis, out of Philadelphia.

We tried that back in the '70's, and it was quickly followed by the Iran hostage crisis.

How can any building contain that much flaming ignorance?

Afternoon guys, I had jury duty today, boring, but it was interesting to note all the trial cases ended up pleading guilty to lesser charges than going to trial. We had no lunch but they let us go at 13:30, could have been worse by a long shot...

More than the GDP of some countries I would imagine.

re: #111 MandyManners

LOL. So does he.
You'd think he would have stopped when he realized he snorted his dad's ashes.
After Iran nukes evrything it will cockroaches and K Richards left.

re: #111 MandyManners

I suspect enough to finance my retirement and then some!

Nope. They're too dull (rimshot) Sorry.

re: #113 Kragar (proud to be kafir)

I wouldn't doubt it. I wonder if he's still doing any.

re: #108 MandyManners

I'm really going to have to take a peek tonight, hell I can't understand a single thing Olbermann says. I just need to verify Kos is in the same groove and see how they play off one another.

re: #85 MandyManners

Can we start with the French? We'll be nice and drink their Armagnac, Cognac and Bordeaux before switching to beer. (Ow. My head's throbbing.)

While I appreciate good diplomacy and good toiletpaper, sometimes you need to fall back on the Greco-Roman roots of civilization: "Might makes right."

I keep expecting to wake up and find that the US has decided to redo our Flag in pastels...

I've never been called for jury duty. Was it interesting?

I was experiencing blog withdrawl so I went to Powerline, Michelle Malkin, Hugh Hewitt. They're good but LGF is better. They don't have the pithy comments over there the way we do here. I love pithy.

Wow, I got tons of work done this afternoon. I wonder why?

Anyway, via NRO's The Corner, here are The World's 5 Strangest Holidays.

After he caught a lot of flak, yes.
