Nearly 1,000 posts, who wants to help?

[achtung_circus]

I had a very long day and night at work.
I just woke up, had a shower, put on clean jammies, made a fresh pot of coffee and am currently shaving.

I have demonstrated competencies in

Tantric massage (contact me, my rates are quite reasonable)
woodworking
construction
giggling inanely
Animal Welfare
(especially)
horse wrangling
Rottweiler convincing
guinea fowl corralling
chicken catching
irate owner defusing

I have a goal, everyone should have goals. I'd like to break 1,000 posts before 6:00 when I am meeting my GF.

1. I'll help... you giggle insanly? SO do I! Do tell me more about this....

:P

[achtung_circus]

4. I'm told that my sense of humour is

well, politely "unique" or impolitely "sick". I think I may be Matcom's love child, but my mother isn't talking.

The thing is that my mind wanders. I'll think of something, find it funny, and giggle. I should probably not do so, because people get offended when I giggle in meetings- they think it's directed at them.

I personally blame Satan. He makes these incongruous thoughts pop out of the dusty corners of my mind at inappropriate times.

6. Wow thats just like me! Giggling is fun though... and its funner when

no one knows why you're giggling hehehehehehhe! :evilgrin:

P.S. Is 'funner' a word? Eh I say it is!

[achtung_circus]

8. Of course it's a word.

So is funnest. i.e. DU is funner than work. But the lounge is funnest. The defence rests, Your Honour.

[RevolutionaryActs]

10. :Mr. Burns voice: Excellent... Now I shall giggle.. how 'bout you?

[achtung_circus]

11. It wasn't me

I wasn't even there.

[babylonsister]

2. Ah, but do you do windows?

:hippie:

[achtung_circus]

5. No.

I do not find windows sufficiently attractive to be able to do them.

3. My usual help question is "what is your favorite color?"

but I see by your list of qualifications we have some overlap. Subjects we could banter over:

Animal welfare
Horse wrangling
Guinea fowl corraling
Chicken catching

and I have been known to giggle inanely at times as well.

[achtung_circus]

7. I listed this stuff because as livestock specialist

for an animal welfare organization I am called to see some weird stuff, meet a lot of weird people and do some weird things. Those items listed are how I spent yesterday.

I like being able to tell people that it's not break and enter if I do it under a search warrant. I had a cop actually boost me high enough to pry open a window and wiggle into the bathroom.

12. Have you ever met Karen Davis ?

Thank you for your concern for the animals' welfare, especially livestock.

[achtung_circus]

17. Yes,

but she makes me uncomfortable. Although UPC is a decent group with a valid programme, Karen is a little too personally involved with the chickens.. Don't get me wrong, I like chickens, when circumstances permit I have about 12 in my yard.

The flame of her passion is something I find a little much. Perhaps it's my guilt?? Dunno.

[Catchawave]

24. LOL....about Karen,

you're right, but she's a very compassionate woman, and very brave to keep her sanctuary so close to Tyson!

I'm not zoned to rescue livestock, but do appreciate that they're the most abused of the animals (and that can't be too healthy for humans either?), but I do like to support welfare programs and small farmers. Do you have a favorite welfare organization you would recommend contributing too? There are so many, and mostly are in the business of, well, fundraising!

[achtung_circus]

25. Concentrate on those that do front-line work

The groups that primarily do lobbying are those who do the fundraising and seem to have no cashflow problems. Your local SPCA or Humane Society, one that enforces law rather than takes positions, is usually operating on a shoe string.

For exampke, I am technical backup for about 250 investigators. I should really be about 8 people.

Think globally, act locally.

[Catchawave]

29. Thanks! Great advice...and maybe....

...drum roll.. I can be your 1000th postie :) I noticed 999, and yes, I support the local humanes, but here in Bumfuck, America, it doesn't really go that far. Keep on keeping on Achtung!

[Catchawave]

32. Thanks dear, you are special !

Maybe I am too, looks like 999, looks like ya made your goal!

[Minimus]

9. I'm almost to 1000 also.

I tried to get there last night but I was too tired from eating turkey and had to go to sleep.

Maybe we can get there together? Maybe at the same time?

[achtung_circus]

13. You mean like

"simultaneous" breaking of "the barrier" I've read about it, it's supposedly the most moving moment in posting, but I've never experienced it myself. However, I'm game (so she shot me) . It may take some fiddling as you are about 10 posts further advanced than I.

You rest, I'll continue to build.


EDIT: proof that spelling is not a demonstrated competency.

[Minimus]

23. I've been resting, are you getting close?

[achtung_circus]

27. With this post

we're both at 998, and counting.

[achtung_circus]

28. I'm off to the GF's for the weekend

I hope you get there first, he he.

[Minimus]

30. my computer keeps going down.

It shouldn't be long now.

[achtung_circus]

33. Yes, yes

I'm there.



How was it for you?

[RevolutionaryActs]

14. How did you make signature line quote red?

Is that a really stupid question?

If it is, don't blame me... sometimes I'm really blond

[achtung_circus]

15. I'm not positive, but if I recall I wrote it in Word,

changed the colour to red, cut it from Word and pasted into my profile. I subcontract most computer stuff to my programmer brother.

[RevolutionaryActs]

16. Yeahhhh I bug my brother about computer stuff too, but he's at his GF's

So I cant bug him today.. or must says really... damn it come home and help me! hahaaha

[RevolutionaryActs]

18. Hey do you know you're helping me get 500 posts?

[achtung_circus]

19. Glad to help.

Once you actually have them I trust you will use them solely for purposes of good.

[RevolutionaryActs]

20. Of course I'll use them for good! I mean... what am I? A Shrub voter?

:evilgrin:

[achtung_circus]
