First?
teh yay™!
Minister of Intel?
teh YAY™!!
thanks, thanks :)
teh Huzzah!
Teh Yay® Tim!
Congrats to both, well-deserved appointments. I am but an egg.
wtg tim and hose!
BTW, poetry corner thread just before this thread.
There is a lovely uniform available on my blog, if anyone is interested. Lots and lots of braid.
Fatwa turned it down for a more Darth Vader approach, but really someone should be wearing the braid. And fake heraldic patches! And assorted medals!
Thx Joe & Sulla :)
Brenda~~
A uniform there is? My cup
runneth over! :)
teh!™
Third post down on my blog. Which, I'm darn proud of that uniform! Broke my heart when Fatwa turned it down.
I mean, sure, Fatwa's uniform of black relieved only by a cape with a pearl-inlay happy face is intimidating and mysterious, but who could seriously turn down all the braid?! Plus a bonus walking stick!
BrendaK~~
I love it. Fits perfectly.
I know I'll be able to wrangle
a lot of teh deb intel in this!
flowers to you~~
:)
teh!™
Time to meander on home.
It's raining, so I'll check back in in 1.5 hrs.
Well, bugger that. My mole has informed me that 2 left lanes on I-85 are closed (NOTICE TO ANY ATLANTEANS READING THIS!!!!), so maybe a bit longer before I get back.
On the plus side, more Sean Hannity on the radio!
tim -
Teh Yay!
I'm so excited!
Bren~~ :D
I've changed my profile-pic to
teh uniform. I'm just having
a bit of trouble changing the
pic appearing here. Hmmm...
Thanks 'gain :)
grateful teh!™
Congrats to Hosedragger, but I really wanted the title to be:
Minister of STFU, s'il vu plait!
I just made myself laugh, again.
Ah, that gets me everytime - STFU, s'il vu plait!
Hey guys,
Yoda: Of course she doesn't care about us. It was a backwards attempt at a slam at...someone concerning their reporting priorities.
Hi Otta~~
You, too? I haven't received
anything since (I think) 'round
noon.
So, I'm guessing that they're just
in a lull.
I think it's, as you say, a root beer thing ;)
teh!™
Sounds right, otta~~I've gone
a time without updates, before.
(Though, this is interesting:
even the 1-year archives are
blocked.)
Does this mean I might actually
have to do work?? ;) :D
teh™
Holy cow. Nedra is 14 and was treated like dirt by Teh Deb. Unbelievable. She has no chaacter. Period (Debbie, not N) and for her to treat a fourteen year old who was only there for puppy poems like that kinda dirt...
Damn...you guys don't want to know what I'm thinking.
Takes a real brave and big person to pick on kids you know.
As for a uniform, I prefer something with big leather jack boots and some kind of DHD emblem on the left sleeve.
Kudos and congratulations to the new Minister of Defense and Minister of Intelligence!
In your honor, I have temporarly changed my avatar to Lemmiwinks, the King of the Gerbils.
You may read a précis of his legendary tale here.
For more information, you can view the pertinent South Park episode "The Death Camp of Tolerance" part 1, part 2 and part 3.
Barkeep, the first two rounds of WTF Vodka for the whole house are on me this evening; it's an extra-special Frischmas Eve! And please put the new ministers on my tab for the entire night.
Tonight we drink, for tomorrow we must plot more terror.
And by "terror" I mean "locating easily-accessible public scrawlings by people who irritate us and then posting the links here so we may taunt them mercilessly."
(Heck...that's how they define it.)
Bwahahahahahaha!
F. Arbuckle
Minister of Propaganda, DHD
Thanks, Min. Fatwa~~
With all best wishes for a
happy Frischmas Eve
Min. Teh!™
Thank you, thank you one and all. Although I can't see why you would have such a soft spoken and genteel person such as myself be the Minister of Defense.
Otta~~
Just an update:
I've done a little something
to try to see if anything is
frischy over at AbbeyWeb.
On the basis of my 'experiment'
I think all of our lights are
still green.
teh!™
HoseD~~
I can't imagine a better Minister
of Defense.
Long live the Def-Min! :)
saluting teh!™
Anyone notice a patern with Der Frischenstain? Anywhere she types, she not only instantly thinks she is a mamber, but is one of the heirarchy of the membership, and is all..."Us AbbeyWebbers" and instantly becomes an expert on what and how everyone should think, act and post on any given blog that she pisses on.
Just askin...
Well, the trolls better not make an appearance here in the next half-hour or so.
I just discovered I'm all out of Cope and won't have any for upwards of a half an hour.
Jonesen for a little pinch
*^.^*
Too kind, Otta, too kind.
blushing teh™
Otta~~
Damn! How do you figure that?
I'm heartbroken in this lapse
in my intel! :(
Otta:
Did you get an email saying that?
I was just re-reading her post where she admits to being a stalker and stalking her ex and so forth. Many things struck me, but this one is the best. Why does she have such a bad time with Econ majors? It has to be more jealousy. No one in her former field to which she has a Pee Aich Deeeeeeeee makes much money, or survives long outside of the safety of academia.
Where as economists and the like make shit loads of money.
Hmmm....explaination?
The older archives are no longer freely accessible as they were yesterday. Hose's method of cached google pages still work. Ask Hose for his special brand of google search words to dig into those.
Yup. Ms. CCFCCP makes several appearances there a day and he pops by about 3 times.
I wonder if they are hoping to catch me at home. Sort of like when Debbikins would ride her bike back and forth in front of her ex's house naght and day all night/all day in hopes of seeing her until she did..
Wow...it really IS just like stalking isn't it debbie.
Obsess much? I hope you liked my articles...but you never comment. Why is that? Are you toooo sssscccaaarrreeeddd??? Need the safety of Buttbeau and Felchingboy?
Otta~
Oh, OK.
I see what you're saying.
Hmmmm....
head-scratching teh!™
Otta~~
Don't worry--this is just a speed-bump.
A little elbow-grease, and we'll
slide back in.
optimistic teh!&3153
Ottava -
You may drink your WTF Vodka however it pleases you. After all, this is America.
remember what brenda said . . . she'll be dancing on the table after two rounds.
Well, now that you mention it, I do have a vague memory of that statement being made.
I'm sure it's just a weird conicidence that I offered to stand everyone to two rounds.
Hose -
I'm right there with you on the jack boots; maybe we can get a bulk discount.
Tim, you in on the boots, too?
Golldurnit, Blogger's being pissy again.
Tarnation!
Sinner, what about appointing BrendaK as Minster of Technology? (We can ask her when she's drunk.)
Fatwa~~
Boots? Oh, yeah--I'm tehre! ;)
Yoda~~
u got that right!
their behavior exposes the
bankrupcy of their principles.
teh!™
So, I was just doing some research on something...don't ask what...and came across this story
Funny, this goes towards a conversation we had here weeks ago, but would any of you be surprised?
Only question would be Dallas, L.A., San Francisco...or are they going to cart it all the way up to their kicking boy New York?
No way...I appoing Pet as Minister of Technology. After what he did for my puter that night, he more than earned the title.
Brenda's gotta be National Security Advisor.
Denny has to be the A.G.
FYI~~
Now tey root beer folks have put
up a notice saying "The list is not accepting new members at ths moment. Please call back later."
Gotta love that anarchy in
practice, ay? ;)
Anyone who wants to comment on this might consider sending an
email to the list, since it
invites messages:
"To post a message to all the list members, send email to abbeyweb@abbeyweb.net."
Worth askin' about what ole Abbey might think about the matter, n'est-ce pas?
;)
Hose~~
A ditto to Otta's request,
please? :)
Yoda~~
It looks like that's what
they're doing: deleting all
recently-added members.
I can't find the words I used in order to bring up the big list, but it involved searching in google for AW and then finding the Similar Pages link in the link you wanted and then reading the Cached copy of any link. They can't keep you from reading that
Sorry guys. Back down I go. Seems I sneezed to hard yesterday and it really jacked me up. I'll try to be back...honest.
Boots? Oh, yeah--I'm tehre! ;)
Awesome!
We should find some which make a nice, intimidating thunk! while walking.
Not that we'd ever want to intimidate anyone...
As I commented on an earlier thread, it's pretty wryly amusing that a bunch of dilettante anarchists are calling us "cyber terrorists".
Unless Beaubeau Manilow is a lot tougher than he looks, not to mention far shrewder than he's shown thus far, I don't think he'd wind-up near the top of the food chain were anarchy to prevail.
A Red Ryder in each hand and twin bandoliers crammed with vials of BBs probably ain't gonna cut it, Slick.
Just sayin'...
Further proof that Buttbeau is a big fat liar. After all, he invited us to go and post and be happy little camper with them there, did he not?
With a great many apologies to all of you here that I may insult...as I don't know each and every one of your sexual affiliations...nor do I care to, and I hope this is received with the intent it is meant...
Beau...what a fag.
Laying down now. Delete that as unworthy if you must...I feel better I said it, it need not stay.
It will take some searching in our archives for it, but I think I posted the link of the cached over the weekend.
Yoda -
I’m beginning to think The Root Beer Stand is a mainstream newspaper.
Just read that; funny.
And sad.
hose:
I found the link, but it no longer works. The abbeyweb list archive has become totally subscriber based. Old google fu is here, if you want to try.
Yoda~
I'm figuring that patience will
be a virtue. After all, if *we* can't add, then no one else can, either--and I can't imagine how long they'll want *that* ;)
Hi SBH -
Don't know if I can help, but fire away!
Ooops!
Slow typing.
sbh:
I don't know about you, but I'm still on funny hat patrol!
What are we here? The Death Star?
Those are interesting questions, Yoda.
In part, I think we are fear, surprise, ruthless efficiency...no, that's the Spanish Inquisition.
We do seem to have a knack for puncturing pompous, self-important gasbags (which is sorely needed).
While having a lot of fun in the process.
But I think your first question deserves a less flippant answer. too.
Something to ponder.
SBH -
As a first step (since we don't know how detailed of a reference is needed) I'd suggest doing a google search on "blogger templates". You'll find a number of sites that offer templates, tips, hacks, etc.
e.g. http://blogger-templates.blogspot.com/
http://blogtemplates.noipo.org/
http://help.blogger.com/bin/topic.py?topic=8930
http://www.isnaini.com/blogger-templates/
http://blogspottemplates.blogspot.com/
you get the idea.
sbh -
Ottava would probably be best for that. I just fooled around with mine, I don't know where you'd find a good reference.
SBH -
The third link has lots of info on template tags.
HTH
Tim -
I made a nice thumbnail cropped image of Teh Uniform, but you don't have an email address to send it too!
If you email me, I'll send it back to you.
I see the brave little anarchists have used a robots.txt file to keep the Wayback Machine from crawling their archives and to block access to previously cached copies.
They must really be paranoid.
Beware the cute, furry rodents.
Hi Brenda~~
Thanks so much--I just emailed. :)
Everyone - I must respectfully decline to be National Security Advisor. I believe rabbit, who possesses a deep understanding of mosts ofthe players in Debworld, to be more suited to that position.
If recruited, however, I believe I would make an acceptable Minister for the Office of Protocol.
Paddy~
Dang! That's pretty extreme!
teh!™
Ottava -
I quite liked your response to Yoda's query.
Ottava -
Make that responses.
Hey...does anybody know if Boo Kitty and Beau Kitty actually tussled by the catbox last night?
Paddy:
I noticed that too. At first I thought I had a way in, but then I checked the email archives, and found the disallow text. Paranoid.
Otta~
Perfectly valid point.
Though, of course, if anarchists
could appreciate perfectly valid
points, then they probably wouldn't
be anarchists in the first place.
Dont'cha detest Catch-22s? :)
teh™
Paddy -
I have a mental image of the Root Beer Stand's sign being hand-painted with some of the letters being backwards (the so-called Alfalfabet.)
Perhaps it reads "He-Man Anarchist's Club".
Yoda:
Let's be careful not to paint the entire Abbeyweb as the Root Beer Stand. We already know that some of them are pissed off at Ms. Frisch dragging her mud in with her and continuing to wallow in it. I'm not sure if they put it to a vote to stop new subscriptions, but the admin is definitely the dictator of the Root Beer Stand.
new thread...
Yoda:
Robot.txt is a way of excluding web archives:
Some sites may not be included because the automated crawlers were unaware of their existence at the time of the crawl. It's also possible that some sites were not archived because they were password protected, blocked by robots.txt, or otherwise inaccessible to our automated systems. Siteowners might have also requested that their sites be excluded from the Wayback Machine. When this has occurred, you will see a "blocked site error" message. When a site is excluded because of robots.txt you will see a "robots.txt query exclusion error" message
Tim and Hose:
Congrats o the selection and the big corner offices.
D'you have any idea how hard it is to rig voting machines that don't really exist?
Hose...as per our agreement, I assume I'm now "Grand Admiral of the DHD Fleet", yes?
Otherwise I might mislay the chart with the location of the Secret Island where Blackbeard's stash of rum-soaked 18th century Copenhagen is buried.
Quid Pro Quo is coin o' the realm, don'tcha know.
Regards and Bravo Zulu;
Actually, wouldn't the Office of Protocol be a Directorate, rather than a Ministerial level office?
Yoda -
The robots.txt file is a structured text file that you place on your webserver that instructs web robots (such as webcrawler and alexa) what pages they are not allowed to index.
You can also use a META tag, such as:
< META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX">
and
< META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOFOLLOW">
to control indexing of pages and links.
Of course, web bots don't have to follow the rules.
Brenda -
You can be the Grand High Vizier, Exalted Poohbah, and Illustrious Nabob of Ministerial, Directorial, and Gerbilicious Protocol.
