Have Stardock's Coding Pigeons Gone On Strike??

cos everyone's outside paying more attention to the geese??

from WinCustomize Forums
Yep, that's the 64,000 dollar question: have Stardock's coding pigeons downed tools cos the geese (not to mention the spider-ducks) are getting too much attention? Or could it be that they've been into Brad's liquor cabinet again??? Now they can deny this - that the coding pigeons are into the grog - but there's evidence. I mean, how do they explain this....

Oops, it seems one of our coding pigeons has slipped... er, has fallen over drunk again, and we cannot show the page you rquested...

Has anybody else got this... a page error that suggests drunken coding pigeons? I suppose it's perfectly understandable, really... that they're feeling depressed and lonely, and hit the bottle because the entire Stardock staff has become infatuated with the geese (not to mention the spider-ducks), but still....

Whether it's perfectly understandable or not, however, Brad, being the smart and very sound businessman that he is, should know to keep his liquor under lock and key when it's known there's drunken birds on staff. ;p For a start, pigeons are not known to be very good drinkers and are like dodos when it comes to flight... and those that do make it off the ground, well they ofen end up as aircraft jet engine food. So please, all Stardockers with liquor cabinets (and those with a sneaky flask in the desk drawer), please keep it under lock and key... I mean, you don't wanna be getting visits from PIMPS (Pigeons In Mortal Peril Society), now do ya. ;)

Actually, that's not my biggest gripe! I mean, slow and no-go page loads can be annoying, but having a constant echo in the gallery comments area is downright annoying and embarrassing.... like I can't control tha parrot on me shoulder and stop it from mimicking my every word. Yep, every word I say... now this really needs to be looked at cos I don't need no parrot to make me look like a fool. ;)

***yes, I have cleared all my cookies, thrice or more now... but the damned parrot...er, echo persists (two same-numbered posts every time)***

Oh, and another thing! What's with these target specific ads? More to the point, which Stardock staffer has a friend/relative in Aussie pest control? And is trying to drum 'em up some business? Yeah, I was in Karmagirl's 'spider-duck' thread and I got this ad for an Aussie pest control company... and yep, I was signed in/logged on. So what's that all about? Yeah, I got bitten by a nasty spider once - and we have/had a ginormous spider out in the shed, buy I/we don't need pest control. We have an abundance of fly swatters about the place, and if the creepy crawly requires something more substantial, I have several pairs of size 13 shoes about as well.... so no more pest control ads, OK? ;p

In closing, I have a word of advice for Stardock staffers... look afer your coding pigeons and pay them more attention. And it's not petty jealousy over the geese and spider-ducks, either. They're very sensitive creatures and they will go downhill rapidly when feeling rejected, dejected and real lonesome inside. ;)

Hehe!! Now that'd be like getting blood out of a stone, now wouldn't it! A fruitless exercise fer shure! And they should oughta know it, too! After having your identity for a week, they should full well know you're as tight as a fishes bum cos every spare penny goes towards yer annual Austrian vacation. Why, you'd even go to the extreme of fronting up at the soup kitchen every night... just to show/prove you're broke. ;p :LOL:

Yup, you'd only wonder for a very short while about all the begging letters after winning the 'Pools'.... you'd decide to keep sending 'em. ;p

Oh No!!! :SURPRISED: Well I just hope it comes with its own pump, then... cos I used up all my huff and puff blowing the 'three little piggies' house down. Oh, and don't believe that bit about the house of bricks... those 'RentaDemolition' guys really know their stuff. :LOL:

Me too! Without the insanity I'd have a lot less to look forwards to... and as for trading your insanity for mine, I don't think so... having spent much of my male life practicing undoing bras, I'm not sure that I'd ever adapt to being female and actually doing one up. ;p :d

In a rugged sort of a way I suppose... tho I think you might be out of luck there. When the 'piggies' job was finished, they patted each other on the butt instead of the back, so I think they might be gay. :LOL:

DX Coders on strike!?!?&@$<£>!?
Reply #60 from WinCustomize Forums Top
Well, the new life I ordered arrived ahead of schedule and I was able to take delivery much sooner than expected. However, I am not at all impressed!!!

Orright, so it'd get me out more, but the life of a bag lady - complete with battered shopping cart, charity bin clothes and a second-hand toothbrush, is not for me. I mean, what am I going to do with a 44 DD bra for crikes sake?? S'pose I could always stuff it full of cotton wool and use it for ear muffs during the winter months. ;p

Anyway, that's beside the point!! It's just not what I ordered and I'll be taking the dispatch dep't to task over it. Obviously their coding pigeons have been on the slops again and have mixed up the orders.... cos I think this one was supposed to have gone to our ex-PM, lil Johnny Howard: "Dear Mr Howard, thank you for your new-life order and we hope the enclosed identity will assist in your not being recognised by the paparazzi during your 'incognito' morning walks."

Well there you have it... lil Johnny is after a new life since being booted from politics. And if I were him, I'd wanna be incognito as well (given all the reprehensible things he did as PM and former treasurer). Don't think it'll help him, tho... those (furry) catapillar eyebrows 'll give him away every time. :LOL:

Anyhow, I have digressed long enough! This (e)mail bungle is unacceptable and I hope it serves as a valuable lesson to all of you... be very careful of what you order on-line and who from. Now you'll always get what you pay for from Stardock, fer shure... but from outfits with dodgy names... ???

I mean, what wos I thinking? Ordering stuff from an outfit with the rather dubious name of 'getaf*#@ing_life.com'???? :LOL:

I had considered exchanging this bag lady life for a sex life but I don't think I'll bother - their damned coding pigeons will probably take an eternity to sort out the paperwork - so I'm gonna stick with the life I got and ask for a refund. Besides, they'd probably end up sending me a replica of George Michaels' life or something.

I'd be careful of those split personalities if I were you... they're usually very inter-connected, and most times you have to take the lot as a package deal, which mightn't be such a good idea. I mean, it wouldn't be such a bargain if all those split personalities sent yer crazy with their constant arguing... and they do, believe me.

***BTW, ignore the one who says he's Napoleon... or he'll have you saying "not tonight Josephine" at all the wrong times :d ***

As for a 'cracked one, believe me, they're all cracked! I mean, why d'ya think my shri... er, his shrink told him they had to go?? Cos they're all cracked in the head, me old mate... totally loopy and cracked in the head. :LOL:

Yeah, I know just what You mean... can't get the window seat cos one of yer alter-egos jumped into it first... or if you happen to strike it lucky and get there first, they start cussing at you in some obscure dialect of an equally obscure language that was spoken in pre-historic times. I mean, you know they're cussing even tho you don't understand a flaming word they're saying... cos those guttural grunts and groans still mean eff you, in anybody's language.

I know exactly what you're saying here, too! I sure could use a few upgrades to get things running smoothly again. Thing is, it's not just the memory, audio and visual, either. What with things like incontinence and constipation, it gets real confusing cos I gotta take one lot of pills to get things going, and another lot to stop 'em.... and mid afternoons, when I get to dozing, I gotta take a Eyeagara to keep my eyelids up. :LOL:
