Blog’s Got A New Toy
Congrats on the new toy! Pretty cool feature to be able to see where everybody is. I can be fairly certain that if New Zealand is showing up that it is myself or “Apathy or Freedom.” Have a good weekend.
This is awesome! The French (spit) do 3 things well.....tires, geo-tracking software, and retreat.

This is cool but I don’t see a spot for me...I’m in Houston...WAAH.
Nor I in Colorado.
I think those stinking French bastards know I can’t stand them so they are shutting me out. Rat Bastard Frenchmen!
Posting a comment to test the system.
This French peice of shit is defective. Austin is not listed. Please get rid of it. It is as functional as the Majinot line.
PS: Your new picture as the Skipper/Captain Kangaroo (or maybe Captain from Captain and Taneal) is tinted just a little bit pink. Are you trying to come out of the closet, or what? Are you gay? Are you a Communist pinko? Enquiring minds want to know.
My spot worked OK. This looks good to me. Nice work, Allan!
Hey Stan! I got yer “pink” hangin’ right here, buddy!
You really do look like Mr. Mooose, dontcha know?
I am really enjoying the new toy Allan. Oh and to Buxfan, dude, Michellins suck. They wear out too fast. Perilli rules.

Take a look at the big map. There’s only one dot per country. The US dot only just happens to be more or less in my own vicinity (I’ll take it as a compliment channeled by the Force)
.
I’m in Phoenix and it ain’t even showing me either. C’est la merde!
I’m near Seattle, and there is NOTHING west of North Carolina that I can see.
Weird…
I am assuming that the one person that this software shows being on line is Allan. If you click on the Geoloc map it will take you to the French website. Guess what, the only person in America it shows being on line at the Geoloc web site is Allan. Everything west of Allan is just empty blackness, that mysterious land where all the non-computer using Jesuslanders dwell!
It’s a communist French conspiracy.
Now I don’t nothing about this stuff ... BUT if you go here ...

You will see that almost all the traffic on the internet is routed through Virginia or NJ. I suspect that is the reason that your particular ‘dot’ doesn’t show up.
I could be wrong. But just do a route search on that site and you’ll see.
Blame Dharpa.
And God bless the Internet.
And fuck the French.

Allen says, ”Amyway, after I got Brother Steel fixed up, I decided I wanted a reward for my efforts so...”
A short Frenchman said, “A man occupied with public or other important business cannot, and need not, attend to spelling.” Napoleon Bonaparte (1769-1821)
My dot worked just fine and I’m currently in TurkMENistan. It’s hard to imagine anything from France could possibly work so well.

I was trying to figure out all that shit in French (4 years in high school ending 34 years ago)when I saw the little Brit flag flying.
So I clicked and it switched to English.
I should have stayed with the French. Horrid translation.
Anyway, I think that in order to make it work you have to subscribe---and it costs money to see who’s on, who’s not.
I may be wrong but all y’all can go check it out.
All right, ladies! Listen up! Rather than sit here and let you all display your ignorance any further, allow me to explain ....
This is an INTERNATIONAL LOCATOR only. It cannot pinpoint locations within a country. Therefore, the dots only indicate the CAPITOL CITY OF THE VISITOR’S COUNTRY.
Fortunately, the internet servers are incapable of pinpointing precisely where you are located without using sophisticated tracking tools (which I possess - so be careful).
That explains why my dot switched location when I crossed the border from Burgaria into TurkMENistan last night.
When we upgrade and get dots for each state in the US (France gets a dot but Florida does not!!!!) lets don’t put up a dot for Chicago.

Wulf: Get back on your medications, pal. We can’t leave Barb out of this.
Sorry Tannenberg, I was thinking of YoMaMa Osama Obama Bin Ladin (D-IL).
I wouldn’t want to cut Barb off though.

My sympathies, friend. If you can bring yourself to think of Obama, your stomach is stronger than mine.....
Allan,
Stop defending that sorry piece of shit French software. They could use traceroute to figure out more are less where each individual user was, if they weren’t a bunch of shiftless, lazy Frogs. Steel Turman provided a link that uses traceroute to do this.

I hope you don’t send them any money.
It’s a bitch Tannenberg.
I saw Yomama Obama on Russert the day after the election explaining why the Democrats lost everything everywhere but him, and he said, “Democrats have to learn how to capture the complexities of people’s lives.”
Russert then asks, “So are you going to run for President?”
Yomama Obama, startled said, “Hey I haven’t spent one day on the job yet. I can’t tell you where the bathrooms are in the Senate.”
I knew in a second we are going to have to watch this guy, so I do. I have a library of Yomama Obama & Ted Kennedy quotes on complexity problems.
You do realize that Ted Kennedy (D-MA) was the one who named Yomama Usama Obama Bin Ladin?

Of course I realize it, Wulf. The surprise is that Kennedy had enough of his head together to make a mistake that small.
Good point. I should have said REMEMBER instead of realize.
“You know who I mean, that guy from Chicago, Labomba Bin, no, no.” Ted Kennedy (D-MA).

To Steel, re:item #11:
“...Michellins suck. They wear out too fast. Perilli rules.”
As I am sure you know, tires come in many different compounds which vary in their “stickiness” and “wear.” The longer a tire lasts, the less sticky it is and takes more heat to generate that stickiness. As somebody who has raced (cars and motorcycles)on most all brands of tires, I can say that Michellins (Pilot series) are among the best in the world; I found them to be better and more consistent than Pirellis. I have found the Michellins and Dunlops to be the best I have ever used (i.e. - best lap times).
I have no lost love for the French, but I must give credit where credit is due, much as it hurts to admit it. Lap times and winning races know no nationality.
Don’t go over there because OCM site sucks.
Sure, OCM just writes usual Democrat drivvel but his art work is really bad, Iv’e been there before so I know.
OCM you spent too much time in Tellagees on the “Hill” in Boulder.
I have two sons that are “Natives” but I bet you arn’t OCM.
My youngest said, ”OCM is some old flat-lander sissy.”

Too bad nobody ever goes to your site OCM.
Sorry OCM - I didn’t realize that was your cat when I was hunting in Colorado.
Keep these new cats inside where they are safe.

It’s “Tulagi’s”, and where the hell did you find out about that joint?!! Thats a blast from the past, used to be the spot to go to for beat your head agains’t the wall rock’n roll, but that was years and years ago.Well that’s were I was beating my head against the wall. But that was back in the days when I would actually pay extra for Coors.

Oh Christ, don’t get me started about Boulder. I’m a Native of Boulder, and over the years I’ve built/remodled a lot of buildings in Boulder. But to tell you the truth, if the shortest route from point A to point B is to go through Boulder, I will go around and take the long route. I’ve really developed an abiding disdain for Boulder as I’ve gotten older, well shit, I didn’t much care for it when I was younger either. Too much Redneck in me.I’m curious now, what is your history with Boulder? What time period did you live there?
The first time I was on the “Hill” in Boulder I was 17 in 1972.
Then I moved to Colorado in 1980. I ran 6 Richard Simmons health clubs in Metro Denver and we had one in Boulder that my wife ran as the manager. We lived on Look Out Mountain west of Golden then. We had two sons born in Colorado. We moved out in 1989. My best friend lives just North of Colorado Springs in the Black Forest.
We used to take people from Iowa across the Divide and tell them that this is still the foot hills and we can’t even see the mountains yet. Iowa people believe anything. We loved Red Rocks which was very close to where we lived.
Richard Simmons was 4 feet tall and his boyfriend was 8 feet tall

Well yep, 17 in 1972, you could just about get any damn thing you wanted off the “hill” in those days, and Tulagi’s was a rock’n spot thats for damn sure.
My favored drinking hole was Peggy’s Hi Low on the very north end of town. Only real country and western bar in that town. When Peggy died around 1990+/-, the place was sold off, scraped off down to the ground, and turned into a office building.
Well anyway, thats interesting. God, having any kind of conservative out look and working for Richard Simmons must have been a bitch. NO THANKS.
God Bless
