soosh
ParticipantI hope that didn’t sound racist. I didn’t intend it as such.

ParticipantI didn’t take it that way. I interpreted it as you wanted to stay away from something that might be taken the wrong way.
Oh yeah, thanks for the input folks – I’m still torn though. I should just decide and get on with my life. 🙂

ParticipantThanks to ‘anonymous’ for a month of TotalFark! I feel special. 🙂

ParticipantWait, B+W is allowed? Great, now I can use that schoolbus pic!
😆 LOL!! You realize why that’s funny right?
Heh, I keed because I love the U-man. FWIW I would’ve voted for the bus pic. Cemetery is my 2 cents BTW.
kestrana, I would tend to agree with sleeping – shadows are more “the absence of light” than “blackness”. Just an opine, YMMV. As far as the contest goes, it’s all good. I say post ’em and let the voters sort it out.
soosh that window frost is incredible!
ravnostic you better get that promotion so you can afford to pay Drew! 😛

For all the teasing I dish out to those around me, I deserve a bit too. 🙂 And I think you’re just pulling my leg about the voting.
I asked my youngest which pic to use. She said the lightbulb one was “blackest”. I went with it.
I really wanted to use to use the Gary’ pic but it didn’t really fit. He might be ‘black’ but he’s really brown. I had to B&W it make it black.

ParticipantFYI… I often rely on the FSM to make sure I haven’t used a photo before and it’s not working at the moment. I just get mostly blank screens with headers but no content. So if I post something that triggers a “oops, seen it before” flag let me know and I’ll ask a Fark moderator to delete it.
Update: FSM is back to normal, sooo nevermind. 🙂

What’d I miss? Pay Drew? Honestly, I gotta stop drinking, I don’t even remember the motel room, let alone the activities…
edit–//oh, yeah. I think the interview went well, except for one thing; one of the panelists was not so good at hiding his body language–caught him shaking his head ‘no’ at something, while looking at his own supervisor. Not a good sign. So I either totally blew a question, or I didn’t give the answer HE wanted to hear. I should hear back one way or the other next week.
I didn’t have much hope to get the position, though; I’ve only been a full-fledged perm. employee for 6 months (plus another 6 as a temp). I figured it to be more a ‘learn the process’ interview. But you never know. Everyone else might have sucked worse (5 other applicants.)
Off to see the entries…

ParticipantCould I get my 2011-03-17 12:23:32 AM entry removed? It’s saying something about the server lying about data transfer and blah blah…having issues getting anything posted right now.

ParticipantThe fark servers seem really slow right now. They’re timing out a lot for me.
March 17, 2011 at 4:36 am #38810soosh
Participantseems to be getting better now.

KeymasterJust saw this update from Mike:
Hey @Fark folk: our upstream provider is having hardware probs so there may be some connectivity issues (or at least slow email) for a bit.

Understatement of the week 😛
/can they start doing these thing on Tuesdays?

ParticipantMisery loves company – glad to see everyone else is in the same boat and having server issues with Fark 😛 I thought my internet was having issues for a while until I realized other sites were working just fine.
Thanks for getting rid of that buggy one, Elsinore
