HippyCentral

Ok, as any of my long suffering readers know, I get a fit of posting frenzy, then I get bored for a while…then i post…etc.

This fit is prompted by some very lovely comments from someone who has obviously sat reading through all my posts from the last couple of years – in order.

Unfortunately, because I’m rubbish and don’t really publish too many details about me (or am I just paranoid?) then he kinda got the wrong end of the stick about many things – such as my name!!

James – I’m talking to you! My name is Jim, I live in the UK, and many of the posts in this “blog” (for want of a better term) are either just jokes, or sarcasm riddled musings. Despite appearances I’m pretty happy in my job (most of the time – but where’s the fun in just being happy always?) and I’m not dying of some weird illness because I never see a doctor 😉

On my home PC I run a dual boot set-up of Windows XP (and it *is* a registered copy) with Kubuntu Linux. I’d get rid of the Windows altogether given the choice – but my wife’s pretty…. (hippy pauses while working out how to say this which won’t result in bruising when she reads it)….used to windows, but not geeky enough to get into Linux (hippy breathes a sigh of relief – did I make it? – we’ll see when she reads this). Not only that but I’m not enough of a geek to get the 3d support working on my setup (it’s a whole complicated mess of ATI cards, bad partition management and being too lazy to try) so I need the Windows partition to feed my Second Life addiction. “One day” I’ll sort it all out and dump the ‘dows.

Anyways, thanks so much for reinvigorating this tired old site with some new comments – it was a pretty cool excercise (and a cringe-making one) to go back and read some of my old posts so i could understand your comments in context.

Here’s to your next batch!

George S. Patton – “If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn’t thinking.”

Common sense is what tells you the world is flat.

I’ve been feeling down for so long that I finally decided to seek the aid of a psychiatrist.

I went there, laid on the couch, spilled my guts then waited for the profound wisdom of the psychiatrist to make me feel better.

The psychiatrist asked me a few questions, took some notes then sat thinking in silence for a few minutes with a puzzled look on his face.

Suddenly, he looked up with an expression of delight and said, “Ummmmm, I think your problem is low self-esteem. It is very common among losers.”

Q: Where do dogs go when they lose their tails?

A: To the retail store.

The man was in no shape to drive, so he wisely left his car parked and walked home. As he was walking unsteadily along, he was stopped by a policeman.

“What are you doing out here at 2 A.M.?” asked the officer.

“I’m going to a lecture.”

“And who is going to give a lecture at this hour?” the cop asked.

“My wife.”
