and he went proper, proper insane in this voicemail...

What you are looking for is the perhaps improper, improper Bunny page! -
You may find your recording under the line "recent tech calls".

And do not bother with Bunny - she apparently has since converted to Islam.

Well gosh!
I built one. But if I tell everyone, they (or at least someone) will want it. And then...well...
.
then... guess I'll just have to detonate it, you selfish oafs!.
Now, do you understand? BTW, it's patented: patent #3744827 Shhh! don't tell anyone!

Mother said "Wash your hands!"
And wash them continuously!
Can't do this?
Well. Read on:

My small company is now developing a convenient portable pouch for Americans, that will fit in the front of the trousers (or skirt) and will allow folks to keep their hands in there, instead of in their dirty pockets, or worse, caressing some filthy germ-infested doorknob!

Much like a Scot's Sporrin.

Our water-tight polycarbonate/polyethylene "sporrin" will be filled with a strong anti-bacterial detergent solution.
Attached to it will be a small disposable roll of towels, as well as an optional hi-intensity ultraviolet light, which will be attached to the belt-buckle.
Rechargeable batteries will fit in the user's pocket or purse.

The dream of continuous handwashing has been finally realized!
NO MORE GERMS!

We hope to bundle a copy of Shakespeare's Macbeth with the first 1000 orders.

All this shit is meaningless to me.

Last mile of copper? HA!
The last 4 miles of copper is mostly buried underground on a rotting wire.
The last HALF-MILE is above ground (if you can call it that) ever since a large tree brought down the hydro wires and the bell wire two years ago.

Within 2 hours the Hydro-Quebec guy came by, took a look and said the truck would be by in the morning to fix it. They did exactly that.
The Bell min-wage outsourcing company? They came by 3 days later, after I had gone out into the woods and repaired the damn copper wire myself. AND I actually used a phone in the woods to call 611 repair service. TWO YEARS AGO!
They never did any repairs. Two years later, the phone line is still lying on the ground, partly under water in a swamp, and with my electricians tape still on it. Somehow, I still manage to pull 35Kbs - a bit slower than I did TEN YEARS AGO!

Fuck Bell.
Need more info?
See The 1996 Bell Boutique bag
and Rural HI-Speed? A JOKE!
AND we now have a Rural Petition going....

Sign it! If you live in Quebec!

Nationalize BELL!

Yeah, I'm another ruraloid, who checked out of the big city 25 years ago.
I live in a log cabin in the deep woods-
Chateau Plonque (the dog in pic is now dead)

and basically I like my reclusive lifestyle- I sleep with my cats and my chainsaw.

The kids live in the city, and their main complaint when coming home is the DAMN LACK OF HIGHSPEED! grrrr...
Currently my Bell Canada telephone wire is lying on the ground and in a swamp, and has been that way FOR TWO FUCKING DAMN YEARS

But I somehow still manage to pull about 37Kbs with the dial up...
Grrr... ... .. grr- GODDAM FUKING BELL CANADA!!

Wheww... well- thanx fer letting me get that out.
(Perhaps I should get out more often myself)

More disgusting details at this 1996 DIATRIBE

I'm currently developing a petition for rural hi-speed... you can be sure once it's operational, it will be posted to /. !! Grrrrr..... but a fat lot it will probably do...

"It takes a torque to put that on his card..."

viz Sir Archibald's Letter!

Far, FAR worse than your silly upperclass Monty Python twits!

Every time I see a bunch of blowhard diatribe against PETA, I wonder, "What's the problem here?"
why do people get sooo upset at PETA?

It reminds me of the axe-handle wielding Southern Gentlemen in the 1950s/60s that got so upset with them meddlin' Outsiders tryin' to integrate our schools...

If PETA IS just a bunch of clowns, why are you so upset then?
Do you have... ummm, some sort of problem?

I'm a meat-eater too, but I always wonder why some people go into a rage when certain topics are breached.

I AM NOT AN ANNONYMOUS COWARD! I AM A MAN!
But saying anything remotely against this Don Cerise Terrorist, would possibly get my children kidnapped and brainwashed into playing this strange sport where people don (yes "Don") skate in order to hit each other over the head with sticks, while attempting to pretend to chase after a small hard rubber disc with aforementioned sticks!
    Don Cherry (Don Cerise to his French Canadian fans) is indeed a terrorist, if only in the grammatical and fashion sense!
    I suspect he toaks up on a liter of Pinoqachole liqueur each Saturday night, before his ludicrous "Coaches Corner" diatribe.
    Enough! I will from now on refuse to watch this terrorist network and its Don Cerise.
  (I have had sufficient Incan Pinoqachole tonight as you may have guessed)

Why don't you spring for a 512Mb Flash disk? About $30 or less.

I have dial-up also (and a telephone line that's lying in a swamp (it still pulls 37kbs, but that's another story)

When I need to do a windows update such as SP2, I simply visit a friend a few miles away, within town limits, who has 4mbs hi-speed.
    The download for SP2 took about 5 min or so; I think copying it onto my flash disk took longer.
    Since then I have installed SP2 onto the XP of several other poor deprived ruralites.
    Any download of more than 12 meg is done in this manner.
