Weirsdo Operating System Winner in Dinosaur Pageant*


The incorruptible but apprehensive Diamonelle was a judge.

In a controversial decision, the operating system of the Weirsdo computer was awarded the title of "Ms. Easter Dinosaur" at the annual Stuffed Animal Planet Easter Dinosaur Pageant today. Several dinosaur owners, as well as some of the few articulate dinosaurs, objected that the operating system was "not a real dinosaur," and that it had only a tangential relationship to Stuffed Animal Planet because it resides primarily on Earth, in the Weirsdo mansion.
The judges held, however, that the rule book did not stipulate that dinosaurs had to be representative plastic reconstructions of the extinct Earth creatures, and further that the operating system in question was much more representatively dysfunctional and out of date than its Stuffed Animal Planet competitors.
As far as its relationship to Stuffed Animal Planet goes, Mrs. Weirsdo argued convincingly that the operating system was at the center of the fragile ecological web of that planet, a position strongly supported by special guest judge and former NG4J member, April, who also thought the computer contestant "looked hot in its thong!"

*Seriously, I am having increasing difficulties loading and commenting on people's blogs. I can only get Karen's on Explorer. I can load C. J. Duffy's on Explorer, but it won't let me comment. I can't do Disqus, Nessa. (I see you've removed it, but it's only a matter of time until another frustration or two grow in its place.) I can't load better stuff because this is Dr. Weirsdo's computer, and if it crashed because of something I did with all his work on it, marital difficulties would ensue. He has looked into upgrading the system, but apparently the computer is too old.
I will still try to post at least once a week, but I don't want to post without returning comments, which must now often be done via Mall Diva's Droid when I can get my hands on it, and touching those tiny little letters is still a pain in the pinky for me.
Apologies and Happy Easter to those who celebrate it,
Mrs. Weirsdo

Luring me into commenting on this post with the mention of my name will not win you accolades either, Mrs. Weirsdo.

I couldn't be less interested in the difficulties of the "Weirsdo Mansion" computer. No one in their right mind uses Explorer anymore !!

In spite of controversy, however, I do congratulate the operating system for winning the distinguished title of "Ms. Easter Dinosaur."

Just my perspective, but I think posting and commenting are separate activities and one doesn't require the other. Commenting on a cell phone is too much work.

I am sorry I added to your frustrations.

And, what Doug said.

Yes I'm having similar problems with commenting on some blogs.

Notwithstanding the browser -- same problems in firefox and chrome as in explorer.

Or maybe it's Vista -- which is definitely a piece of faeces, no doubt about that.

Just one of those strange little IT glitches that reminds you that the universe isn't necessarily there for ones personal enjoyment and satisfaction.

Sorry I haven't been visiting as much as I ought or would like. I'm not doing very well right now.

Mrs. Weirsdo,
It appears your computer has crashed. I hope, for your sake, ensuing difficulties are not on the horizon.

Dahling, I do hope you did not allow Axe Man into your house to fix your computer in a state of desperation, as was rumored by that excitable Spooky Fellow.

May I remind you that I have never claimed to be in my right mind, K.

But I am not so out of it as to allow Axe Man anywhere near me, T.

I am working to properly align the universe as soon as possible, M. M. In the meantime, thanks to all for your patience.

I hope the Netherworldian universe will also realign soon, Cheesemistress.
