In the spirit of Parsident Clinton naming his new puppy ("Buddy" after a favorite uncle, if you believe that), why doesn't the new WebNunz have a name?
It's just a number. Is webnunz.com taken? grunion.com? beinfang.com?

Main reason is that it costs money to get a name.
But, it *could* happen. It probably oughta be an .org, since I'm paying for a non-commercial hookup here, and I don't wanna raise any suspicions that it might be otherwise.
Suggestions are welcomed, and when I'm employed again, I'll give it serious consideration.

But I think Buddy is a dumb name for a dog or a domain.

I'm sure this joke has already been made up, but he named the dog Buddy after the hit he didn't inhale.

I make a motion that we all send in 10 bucks to Fang. Surely ten of us here are willing to ante-up the dough for 2-years worth of domainage.
Any takers? Where do I send my $10?
...And if the address says "Homer The Brave" anywhere in the TO: field, all bets are off.

No, for real. I'm serious.
Ten Bucks to Fang's, for the purpose of getting this place hooked up with DNS.
Panties Optional.
I would mail you a pair of my underwear, but it'd require extra postage.

No, seriously, I may someday get a domain name, but I don't want donations, or the *appearance* of donations, or nuthin'...
Thankya all very much! I do appreciate the offer, but I fear for the safety of my low-cost permanent internet connection... :)

So, then, I guess it's not a good thing that I placed an ad talking about this IP address in a message that I used to test out this new software I downloaded from the warez group called "Stealth Mailer 2000". Something about 90 million e-mail addresses over a standard 28.8 connection.
Can you "unsend" 90-million e-mails? AOL lets you!!!

No, the RalfBot was a hideous misstep in computer science.
Instead of the intelligent news-agent it was intended to be, it played DeathMatch with the other bots and forgot to show up for work one day.
Now it roams the Ubernet looking for a home, subsisting on a diet of intercepted Spam and broken links.

My brother had a pretty decent stand-up comedy act when he was younger. He told me the big rule of comedy:
Something's funny the first time. It's a little less funny the second time. The third time, and thereafter, it's just very annoying.

That couldn't be true. After all, Gallagher performed more than one comedy act and people were always in the audience... at least I think that people were in the audience. I always skip to the next channel when Comedy Central does their stand-up marathons.

Gallagher is funny the first time or two that you see him. But does anyone go to his show 5, 6, 7 times? Nah. How many splattering watermelons can be funny?
I suppose the same thing can be funny, as long as you have a different audience each time.

Don't forget though, Gallagher was the one to point out that most people are stupid and should be hated for it.
The man's a saint.

I lost all respect for Gallagher when I learned he had been inexcusably rude to a fellow commedian, Joel Hodgeson.
The story goes that one night Gallagher visited Joel backstage before he was about to perform, and played with his props. He broke some of them, and made some flip comment about Joel plagerizing his stuff.
Joel went on to start Mystery Science Theater 3000, the show where they make ruthless fun of Gallagher whenever they can.

True story. Brush With Greatness. From my Arena Theatre(sic) days.
It's a Saturday. It's quiet. The office buildings are empty, but there's a sold-out Gallgher show that evening, so the calmness is kinda *spooky* in a way.
Middle of the afternoon, I'm sitting in the box office with one or two other bored ticket sales folks, when Gallagher silently appears at the window. He apparently *IS* his own entourage, mostly, so he's shown up a little early to check out the venue and plot out some last minute choreography. We cheerfully state that we know who he is, and we infer that we generally kinda *like* him. He is quiet, he doesn't say much, but he is polite. We let him into the theatre.
A bit later he returns to the box office window and quietly asks for a pencil. We give him a pencil.
A bit later he returns to the box office window, looking a bit dejected. He holds up the pencil we gave him earlier. There is no visible tip of lead at the end. He calmly states, "I broke my pencil."
We sharpen it for him.
And there ya have it.
