Orkut Goes Dark, At Least For A Bit
caferace writes "As quickly as it went up, Orkut is offline, as least temporarily. Google's experiment in social networking had a huge rise in members over the last few days, and things got chaotic pretty quick, revelaing some scaling issues not well anticipated. It still ran quickly, but like infestations of mice, people were going where they shouldn't, exposing the systems weaknesses. :) Smart to pull the plug and work out some of the kinks. From the notice: 'We've taken orkut.com offline for a few days as we implement some improvements and upgrades suggested by users. Since orkut is in the very early stages of development, it's likely to be up and down quite a bit during the coming months. None of the information you've entered will be deleted, and none of the connections you've made will be lost. And, if all goes well, you should see some significant improvements when we come back online. We'll send an email once everything is ready and running again. Thanks for your feedback and for bearing with us as we work our way up the learning curve. The orkut team'"

I wish there was a way for me, as a Christian, as a human being, to sit down with some of you and have a pleasant, civil discussion without bitterness or sarcasm. I don't force people to believe what I believe. I don't mock others with different beliefs. I hope I can find the words to explain myself, as my life goes on. I hope I can help people to see.
The long version where he talks about Mr Wayne ignoring the referee in the back seat throwing the red flags and where the narrator gets $100k at the end.

Look up Dr. Bastard and find the one with the woman with a kid who needs love. He says to tape the kids arms together and use that. "As Tyrone grows, so will his 'thang'".
I do not wish to be a troll, but this has to be said: I am a Nerd, and I have a girlfriend. Adding to the improbability of this event happening, she is also a model. It seems that the smart, sensitive, sex-deprived nerds are ocasionally wanted. Just bragging a bit. Please continue with your useful postings and conversaations. This post will be modded down to the same level as the aski art goatce images, for it to holds no relevence, and is to disgusting to imagine. Have a nice day.
Just out of curiosity, how is what I just posted a troll?
;-)
I ask myself that question very often.
When I'm feeling paranoid, I think there is a cabal of moderators who have it in for me.
Other times I think its drunken moderation. Alcohol is fun, in moderation
Then there's the possibility that moderators, trying to scroll down, are changing their choosen moderation inadvertently and hitting "moderate" without noticing that their choice had changed.
There's also the possibility that people get their greedy little karma-whoring hands on mod points without even knowing what a troll is...
You can't take the sky from me...
That is NOT the "batman touched my junk liberally" story I requested.
Now go fuck yourself.
