This is a good example of why you should never try:

  • 2002.08.20 at 10:16(PDXCB) RevPhil says This Thuraday: A Bus Mall Action happened on the way to the transit center. Also a Bikesummer event with the Full Moon Treasure Hunt
  • 2002.08.20 at 10:18(PDXCB) RevPhil says that should have been:This Thuraday: A Bus Mall Action happened on the way to the transit center. Also a Bikesummer event with the Full Moon Treasure Hunt

This is when the furry began to rise. I had been at the keyboard too long. The radiation from the monitor poured into me. My forehead began to broaden, my chin squared, my clothes didn't fit so good, and I noticed myself saying things like, "Please don't make me angry, Mr Chatterbox. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry."

  • 2002.08.20 at 10:19root says You tried to talk to AGH, but they don't exist on this system:"damn you! That should be funny thing"
  • 2002.08.20 at 10:29(PDXCB) RevPhil says "A [funny thing|Bus Mall Action| happened when I tried to mesg you

this is where I gave up

  • 2002.08.20 at 18:26(PDXCB) dTaylorSingletary says You know Phil, I've been reading those 3 messages for the whole first half of this day, and I still just don't get it. Have you come down yet? ;)
  • 2002.08.20 at 19:23 qousqous says re Bus Mall Action: um hey this is what the pdxc is for. and you didn't say it was in portland, nor what day it was happening. um. moo.
  • 2002.08.21 at 08:29(PDXCB) Glowing Fish says The thing about Revphil is he never comes down, he just stops typing.

Alas if I only had a reasonable excuse for all this.

  • "I was in rehab",
  • "My right pinkie kept twitching over 'Enter'",
  • "It's hard to smoke crack, plug in an IV morphine drip, huff whippets, walk over hot coals, and remember the E2 syntax all at once"

it should have read:

RevPhil says This Thursday: A funny thing happened on the way to the transit center. Also a Bikesummer event with the Full Moon Treasure Hunt

if you are really interested the phrase, "A funny thing happened on the way to the _______" is an old comic bit, used to start a story. The best known version of this comes from the play/movie A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum.

alas

But wait there's more

The Contiuning Censorship of Revphil's crappy nodes:

Apatrix says re March 13, 1977: I fail to see the purpose or meaning of this pseudo-daylog.

Klaproth says I ate your writeup March 13, 1977. All nodes need links. Node Heaven will become its new residence.

you said "that was so that people coming to Horace Phair would be able to vote on hearing some o my wit from the {scratch|ass] pad. Alas it has alredy been eaten. perhaps none shall read it ever again. I am guessing you didn't like it?" to Apatrix

heehaw the hits keep on comming
