Don't worry. Cats, chickens, any other living critter, they're all safe now. Trying Tarot cards and crystal balls next.

needing the fix

No kidding. I seem to need my fix too. I'm running a perfectly configured Ubuntu 8.10 system, but somehow I want to mess with it. I've been reading reviews about Slack, and I've tried it before, so now I have this funny urge to Slack. I'm a nerd I know.

Don't mess with the cats! Cats are to dogs what Slackware is to Windows.
Like how many stray cats do you see survive? Now how many stray dogs?

I was thinking of visiting a Voodoo Priestess living next door, I hear she has visions about future events.....not sure what type of offering to bring.....maybe beer and pizza?

It depends on the environment. Cats are usually better suited except in cold environments. Dogs usually must survive on trash and roadkill alone, cats can hunt mice, and there's plenty of those around everywhere.

I'll try the ashes of the finest Golden Virginia tobacco
btw: well done on the Ashes. Not that I understand the rules of cricket, but on the BBC Radio 4 news it was announced before anything elso so it must be a big thing, LOL

Be careful with the tarot cards. I was playing poker with them last night and got a full house and 4 people died.

Being English we have very little to celebrate in the world of sport.
So winning the ashes is a big deal here.
And it's always nice to get one over on the aussie's!

Edit:Sorry,should i take a guess at the release date now?

Guys, forget cards/cats/dodgy balls, etc

Let's listen to the seer Nostradamus (this is the unofficial and unpublished (yet) version of the Master's words):
Quote:
When the sacred ashes return to the Brown land,
and the killer of the sky bird tasteth his freedom,
and the earthly empire of the street of walls collapseth
And peoplen will be forced to swallow pig pills
Then, and only then, the true leader will rise and say:
Here, my children, is the thirteenth book of slackdom,
download it and use it wisely,
He, however, who doeth not obey the mighty book
will see the blue screen of death
As you can see, it clearly states that slackware will be released in the first week of September

Traditionally, the offerings consist of money (always a safe bet), and Caribbean rum. Some advice?: Be respectful, and by all means, if you find her attractive, do not flirt with her.

Are you kidding me? If hitest finds her attractive he should flirt with her and then show her the cold sausage.
