Is there any help...

[Merelan]

Yesterday I was at work when our computer went down. I am not a computer tech but do know a little about these things and how this particular one operates.
I kept having problems and began muttering. One of the guys asked what I meant. I didn't know what I was saying. You know what it was?
I had been repeating over and over. "Damn 500 errors."
And now I must admit that I have started using that phrase whenever I start to feel overwhelmed. In fact a couple of the other folks at work asked what I meant by it, when I explained it was a computer that was overwhelmed and couldn't handle anymore they laughed. But, now they are using the phrase too!!! I cannot get away from it.
Laurel, what have you done to me!
Oh, is this a secret way to infiltrate our lives? Are you really aliens? Or a communist government bent on controlling us? Is this a conspiracy?
Does anyone else out there find themselves doing this? Or should I seek help?

 

[Merelan]

grrr... they are at it again!!!!

This is not to imply anything against this site or Laurel and Manu. In fact I think we should all send in contributions to send them on a vacation after they get the server working. They sure deserve it.

 

[Xander]

I'm infected.......oh no.

Sorry, merelan, it is a conspiracy. I too, have been infected with this site. I hear 500 error over and over all day long. I see it in my dreams..

I also notice when I get up in the mornings I no longer read the newpaper..I now get my hot cup of coffee and sit down and read the literotica BB. Same thing when I come home..Don't read the paper any more. Read the BB.

Other side effects. I am so use to the open conversatio and discussion on here between everyone, that it has started to spread to my RL. I keep forgetting that you can't sit at your office with your hand between your legs....May be acceptable on the BB, but not in RL...

So no merelan, you are not alone...

Has anybody else noticed the side affects of the BB in their RL?

Yes Merlin, I too have been touched by the content of this site. Fortunately I do the bulk of my work from home. So if I get the urge to put my hand between my legs during the day, it's not a major problem for me.

 

[Cheyenne]

Okay, I've typed this response twice already and twice it has gone into cyberspace heaven instead of on the bb. One more try-

Merlin- you mean effects like the stacks of newspapers and mail that I haven't read yet? Or the pile of wash I haven't folded? Or the 3 tapes of TV shows that I will likely never watch (and I have no more blank tapes, oh well)? Or the cybersex relationship I recently instigated?

Nope, this bb has had no effect on ME!

Except I find I am saving money since I spend a lot less time on eBay.

 

[Magic Merlin]

OMG, my bills?

Thanks for reminding me, Cheyenne.

 

[Skibum]

I even find myself explaining things that I read on the BB to my wife while we're in the car. She has absolutely no interest in anything that involves the Internet, but when I can't get my BB "fix" I have to get her opinions on the BB topics.

She has come up with some interesting opinions on some of the threads without ever reading them!

BTW, has anyone noticed anything weird about the margins on this thread, or is my browser fucked up?

Hey! You guys think YOU have it bad... I live, breathe, eat & drink 500 errors. I would say I sleep them, but since we've been working on the server every night this week I haven't had a chance to.

It's funny, because some of the people I've worked for doing design have like 28 servers with all kinds of high-tech support people and hardware and who-knows-what. We, on the other hand, have two servers, of which only 1 works right now, and no one who even knows exactly what's going on. And still, I swear to you guys this is true, we get more visitors than any "commercial" site I've ever worked on. I get the feeling that either something isn't right in the universe, or I'm just plain retarded.

The 500 error thing has been a joke between Manu and I for quite a while now, but in the words of Morrissey (in the days before he started sucking) "That joke isn't funny anymore". I promise you, we're going to have this beat soon. Thanks to all of you for giving me a good laugh over this... You guys (& girls) are the best...

 

[Thumper]

Unacceptable to sit at the office with your hand between your legs????? Why wasn't I told this??? If it is not OK to put my hand between my legs, how about if I put it between someone else's legs??? Or even their hand between mine??? Would this be OK??

OH fuck it I'll just take the Twister game into work...everybody's hands between everybody's legs.

 

[Cheyenne]

skibum- margins are wacky for me, too, so it isn't you. Something on this thread isn't working quite right.

Thumper: I think hands between legs at work are just fine. Just do it in the bathroom and come back with a huge smile on your face! It really does make people wonder what you've been up to.

 

[Merelan]

Can you imagine what a game of twister with all of us would be like?
Oh, and would clothes be optional? Or just white panties? Or black thigh highs?
I guarantee we would forget the 500 errors!!!!!!
And who gets to make the calls? Manu?
It would have to be a special twister board and spinner...

[Sonora]

OK, I must be doing something wrong. I very rarely get a 500 error. I've had them (once a day, maybe twice), but not to extent it seems that a lot of you do. And no problems with the margins either.

 

[Sammyjo]

Umm...yeah, I was supposed to start packing last week for my trip, cuz if I don't start early, I KNOW for damn sure half my stuff will be here instead of there, but I haven't done it yet...oh hell, that was one long sentence. Haven't done the cleaning I have put off for two weeks. Oh, but I had enough time to get loaded last night...ugh Anyway...I am experiencing a severe 500 error. I can't wait to get the hell out of here for a few days.

SJ

Oh yeah, and I forgot to say that if you don't hurry up and get that damn May newsletter out, it's gonna be time to put the June one out!!! LOL

[Magic Merlin]

Twister? Did somebody say twister?

Hey Thumpman, how you doing bud?

Twister with a twist......play with hands between legs....Merelan gave me that idea

Of course, merelan, you and Cheyenne can only play in your little white panties...

Uh oh, I think I hear Slut_boy running over here yelling, "little white panties, oh my...little white panties, oh yeah."

[Merelan]

But won't we get chilly?

 

[Xander]

I can keep you warm

If I'm allowed to play, that is.

 

[Magic Merlin]

LMAO@Xander

Merelan, somehow I don't think warmth will be a problem

Of coure, if I see your nipples getting hard....<merlin better stop right there

>

 

[ShyGuy68]

I too have the 500 errors, but it doesn't seem like so much as some of the others have. And I'm happy that I have my fast Cable connection, makes it less of a pain.

Merelan, I would love to play twister, if you and Hecate are playing in those french maids uniforms from our role play!

[Merelan]

Okay, the french maid outfit with little white panties... how does that sound?
Anyone interested?

 

[ShyGuy68]

Merelan.

Yes I'm interested, very interested!!

[Magic Merlin]

Need you even ask?
