OT humour
View Full Version : OT humour
It seems like whole days since someone posted about some entirely OT humour, so how about
http://www.deadtroll.com (http://www.deadtroll.com/).
I particularly recommend teh 'keep your parents off teh internet' animation from their own site,
and if you follow the links to audio, I'd go for the system administrator song, closely followed
by internet helpdesk or how to buy a computer. There's even some homourous text for those on
slow modems...

J'know, I've never seen a better illustration that what you say is right. I read that at near normal
speed with no problems with comprehension whatsoever!

Hi Ian
Is it possible to listen to the SysAdmin song without regestering with
mp3.com?

"Sorry mate, I didn't see you" is not a satisfactory excuse.

For anyone else - the other one (that makes sense when you look at the site) didn't ask me to
register, and I don't recall doing so in teh past. mp3.com didn't like me at all, as it happens, so
I don't know what's there (though I have had their stuff from tehre in the past, so I'm not sure
what was up this time).

Richard, you are quite right; the only word I had trouble on was slef because it should have
been joined to it. Also shows that you tend to anticipate the word before you read it. Let's
have more of this!
