Mass extiction!
Worlam is feeling guilty for letting hunters kill thoundsands of Wolram's!
 
All I know is that Wolly up and changed his avatar and then immediately started a thread picking on the Sisterhood. Something strange is afoot.
 
Erm, Erm, errr, it was women that was driving me nuts, every where i go there is some woman/women that go out of their way to drive me round the bend, at work at home every where :cry: they all seem to know i am a soft touch even if i have never met them, and i took it out on the nice sisters, about the only women i know that do not drive me nuts.
And i thought i would only change my avatar for a while, but i have lost it
:cry: :cry: , i thought i had saved it but as i am a computer clutz i saved it
where i can not find it, and i feel an awful loss.
sorry sisterhood.
and now my motorbike is ill, i had hoped to ride her for 6 months before i started the restoration but her clutch has gone wonky and her magneto will hardly spark. my pain is total :cry:
 
If you haven't recently deleted your temporary internet files, you might be able to find your avatar in this directory:

\Documents and Settings\YOURNAMEHERE\Local Settings\
Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

There will be another set of folders here. Do a file search for your avatar.

Note, you'll have to manually enter Content.IE5, as Windows tries to semi-hide that directory.

You must expect women to drive you nuts - that's their job.

You have my deepest sympathy regarding the motorbike - they are supposed to provide nothing but pleasure.

Nice to see normal service has resumed. :wink:
 
  • #16
Thanks Tzemach, i need lots of sympathy, the sun has just started to shine

I'm afraid that there's nothing for it but to self-terminate, old bean. Can I have your horns for my mantle?

So that we can clone wolrams so that they won't become exticnt.
 
  • #21
You don't need the whole carcass for cloning.
 
  • #22
Wolrams are so cute!

I beg to differ... and offer the Members Photo thread as evidence. :-p

Have you built that million volt zapper yet Danger?
 
  • #25
Er... no... hmmm... Perhaps I should start, purely for defensive purposes.
 
  • #26
I was going to say it is a new trend instead of having candles while taking a bath people are using zappers instead, it seem the sparks are very relaxing to watch.
 
  • #27
Bath? :confused:

Well if you had a long enough power cord you could take to the mud hole.
just make sure you have a trip on the outlet, 120amp should be ok.
 
  • #29
Oh... that kind of bath. Jeez... I do that all the time. Take in a box of Uncle Ben's with me too, so I can have Rice Krispies for breakfast.
