Everyone at Joe User is just so happy and fun! You have to have a sense of humor with a name like Joe User!

I was considering starting a blogsite dedicated to the discussion of marriage. I was going to call it Harry Crabs. My wife balked, so I digress.

There is really no virtual community to compare to the honest, open perspective that Joe User has. There should be more like it. This world would be a much richer, more diverse place.

I, as soooooooo many others are just grateful to be blessed by the absolute intelligence that this community offers.

Thank you so much. And to do it all for free?! Wow!

LOL...So this is what boys do when they have time on their hands.


Yep, this is what blokes do, even when they haven't got too much time on their hands. Well we gotta have some kind of amusement, particularly when we've given up the major vices...tho I'm not so sure I can say the same for Dr Guy.

Does that mean it is Grog? As Rum Chief I have to inspect all alcohol for crew consumption,


Starting to have doubts about that, Dr Guy...Rum Chief/inspecting all alcohol for crew consumption. It'd be alright if you were sharing it with the crew, but 3 rum stops in a just a week for one man is a bit much. Worse still, how come there's a couple of dozen cases of champagne missing from the officers mess....you partying on and fraternising with them thar wenches again?

starkers...

How d'ya think we lured in those ladies in the South Pacific? The champagne is accounted for, I think. Dr. Guy was just too drunk to enter it into the accounting books.

And you hafta admit, the guys did have a good time, even though we did lose to of them overboard and have six put up in the infirmary for a week!

You mean I got to do the paperwork too?

I'm afraid so, dr. guy. Starkers is keeping close tabs on the alky-hol supply. Guess he's afraid we won't have enough booze to make it to Bermuda. I think he's underestimating our potential pillaging proceeds.

Speaking of which, the lookout's informed us there's a cruise ship on the horizon. Make ready for battle, gents, this should be easy pickings!

You mean those scantily clad women who were chasing me around the deck? Wondered where they came from, how they had so much energy (I got caught).....must've been the guava juice and coconut milk they brought for mixers to go with the rum, eh!

And you hafta admit, the guys did have a good time, even though we did lose to of them overboard and have six put up in the infirmary for a week!


I agree that crew morale must be maintained, but who's gonna hoist the sails, pump the bilge if we keep ending up with so many swabs incapacitated through hangovers, etc? It shouldn't be left to the officers...certainly not the cap'n. Besides, I don't see these South Pacific ladies letting me out of my cabin fer a while yet.



You mean I got to do the paperwork too?


Well of course, gotta keep tabs on things....and just like a visit to the head, the job ain't finished 'til the paperwork's done.

Oh no I'm not....with all this surveillance gear of Brad's at our disposal, we'd have to be the most high tech buccaneers ever, especially when it comes to tracking down and pillaging liberal vessels.

I always knew there was a relationship!

Arrggg. Paperwork on the way. Curses!

You'd better include some blank cheques with that....rum supply is very low!

And let's hope they don't bounce, otherwise it'll be a dry run from Rio up to Panama, etc....and we can't have that, can we!

Huh, what, who, where, when?

The rum supply is low? We better set about boarding that cruise ship right away!

What....an attempt at discrediting a conspiracy theory with some banter, light hearted humour and sheer lunacy....

Who....until you asked we'd forgotten him, but now you mention it...WHO? The silence is deafening....bloke starts off a thread then abandons it after a couple of posts ....bit of a party pooper, dontcha think! And we've been having such a great time too!

Where....why here of course, and anywhere the Twisted Sister will take us. Who knows, with a bit of bad luck we might even sail back to Sanity some day. Heck, it's not a port we frequent too often, but I reckon we'd adjust if by some accident we ended up there.

When....always, of course! Humour should never take a vacation, which is something I have to keep reminding myself of lately....

My wife has been in hospital for a few days and could be there for a while, having had a breakdown over our 16 yo runaway daughter (who is continually going from bad to worse) and a complete lack of co-operation and/or support from the authorities. Just when we thought we'd made some headway towards resolving the issue, it all went guts up. Our lawyer was trying to invoke a law which would have forced Family Services to act in her better interests, but then the damned government practically changed the legislation overnight to avoid having to accept any responsibility to protect her.

Essentially, it was our final hope, so when the news arrived that it had failed, it was more than my wife could cope with and I had to arrange for our GP to visit so he could have her admitted to hospital. It's not the best circumstance but we'll get throught it and move on.

Hmmmmmm, now isn't this peculiar?

"bloke starts off a thread then abandons it after a couple of posts ....bit of a party pooper, dontcha think!"

Well....no. I've been busy working on my blog. A blog which "amazingly" I was able to get and, edit....whereas I was unable to here.

Of course this was a "No Win" for me. Had I posted more, you would have critisized me for that.

I've made what? 3-4 posts? You children are up to what? 250+? Clearly nothing is ever going to change around here. That's fine. I don't really care anymore. I do what I do and you all continue to continue be assholes.

I'm very glad I went through this. I really am. Had I not, I would have never met some very good people online. People who I help every day. For free.

But..I know, I'm too friggin' stupid to fiiger owt haou 2 git eh blahg hear riet?

My "deafening" silence comes solely from the realization that, for all of the knowledge many of you have, there is no humility. You live off of the sharing of others, but you are unwilling to do so yourselves...unless it suits your mood.

Don't think I haven't been watching, however. I have. And you have been digging a deep grave. Of course you won't see it that way, but I sure have a lot of good luck when it comes to other websites.

Maybe I should invest a buck or two, and look into reality as it pertains to those critical of myself. Nah, you're not worth it.

I would post on Joe User, if I thought anyone would actually engage me in an honest discussion. But that will never happen. It is "Joke User" isn't it? That IS what this thread is...isn't it?

Nope. I prefer that you enjoy your childish banter and, watch your little world slip away from you. It is all about money...after all. In the grand scheme of things, your 50 is worth the same as mine. So, I predict your little bully pulpit won't go on for much longer.

But, I couldn't even create a blog on Joe User...so don't listen to me!

I am SOOOOOOOOOOO glad I am NOT most of you!

Well welcome back, TheGuyPC, it was so nice of you to drop in. However, it would be nice if you were to give us 'assholes' a break....to lighten up a bit and take what is obviously intended as tongue in cheek humour as a bit of fun. Okay, so we've been lampooning your original post some, but that's indicative of the 'children' we are ....here for a good time, rather than heavy discussion or an argument. Also, my 'party pooper' comment wasn't being critical, just stating the obvious....you haven't been here joining in the fun.

I have not read such crap for a long time. This South African has been with JU for 3 years and I have yet to see bias against bloggers or would-be bloggers. My advice: Investigate before you criticize!

This may well be the ultimate example of thread hijacking! Way to go, mates!
