    Slashdot reamed this poor site like a drunken virgin on Prom night...

    What's worse is this error message I got when I visited:


    Fatal error
    Type of error Database error: connect(localhost,icrontic,PASSWORD) failed.
    Error message MySQL Error: ()

    Please report this bug to the webmaster.
    Thank you.


    Is that a database password 'PASSWORD' I see before me? I think it is! This site's in for a long, long day.

    Considering how fast they've been /.ed I'm betting they tried using one of these as their webserver.

    Excuse me, sir. Seeing as how the V.P. is such a V.I.P., shouldn't we keep the P.C. on the Q.T.? 'Cause of the leaks to the V.C. he could end up M.I.A., and then we'd all be put out in K.P.

    I have plenty of smart computer science friends who think MySQL sucks when compared to the ease of MSSQL7 or 2000. I guess there's a trade-off.

  11. Sucking The Broadest Cocks by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    being into guys seemed to scare me. I mean it isn't exactly something that
    parents hope for for their children. So when i was jerking off i was thinking
    about men and hoping to hell i wasn't found out.

    In june of 2000 my wife of just over a year kicked me out of the house for some
    little spat. While spending the week with my parents, i got onto aol and went
    into the m4m chatroom. immediately a guy im'ed me and we chatted. I was so
    turned on that when he asked if i'd like to get together, i almost went thru
    the screen at him. He was 51. over double my age but i didn't care. i just
    wanted to taste a cock finally in my mouth. we got together an hour later.

    I got there and he answered the door in just a shirt, his hard cock poking out
    for me to see. He fondled my cock through the sweatpants i had on. he
    immediately put his hand down my pants and felt my cock, commenting that it was
    nice and big. he got on his knees and took it in his mouth. Now i had blowjobs
    before but this one was FANTASTIC! his lips and tongue did a number on me and i
    made him stop before i came. he stood up and i went down on my knees. this was
    the first time i had been this close to a cock before. i looked at it longingly
    for a few seconds and then dived right in. sucking up and down in and out. it
    tasted so wonderful. I knew that this was what i belonged with and i kept
    sucking and sucking like it was the last supper. The taste of his pre come made
    me harder and harder and i almost came from excitement. He stopped me so he
    could suck my cock. we went back and forth for a while. All at once he dove in
    and sucked me and when i warned him for the 7th time that i was about to come
    he grabbed my cock and started stroking it faster and faster until i shuddered
    and blew a wad in his mouth for what seemed like forever. He swallowed every
    last drop of my cum. I dropped to my knees, looked in his eyes and told him i
    wanted to swallow every last drop of his love juices and not to hold back. I
    dove in and sucked him for all i was worth. he commented about me being a great
    suck (funny because it was my first time) and all it once it came. Shot after
    shot of hot creamy cum. i loved the feeling of it pulsing at my tongue and the
    back of my throat. i swallowed as quickly as i could. i continued to lick and
    suck him for a few minutes and was about to stop when i felt his cock start to
    swell again. i sped up and got another 5 to 10 shots of hot tasty cum down my
    throat again. we sat there and talked for a few minutes. he had alot of people
    before but no one like me. he was sitting on the couch. i got on my knees to
    get close to his cock again. it was soft, but i told him i had one other
    fantasy i wanted to fufill. i went to work on his soft cock, just so i could
    feel it growing again in my mouth. it felt wonderful to be pleasing someone
    like this. He didn't take too long to come again in my mouth.

    The moral of my story is. if you haven't tried it, don't knock it. if you are
    curious, GO FOR IT! everything in this world is worth one try. while i rarely
    suck cock, or even have the opportunity to suck cock, i do it for a long time
    when i get to do it, and ALWAYS SWALLOW!
