Random Rants XXXVII: The Server Is Too Busy

[Takhisis]

Well, the paper's motto appears to be 'Stories start here' so that's not a good start.

The reader comments are normally good for a laugh, but sometimes they're just depressingly ignorant.
They have good sports coverage though, which is by far the most important thing.

Sports are overrated.

One of the admins on an Orthodox forum I go to is a priest with a very common first name. On an offsite chat room where posters can cuss and discuss mod action, some people wanted to contact his bishop about some questionable actions on the forum. I was bored, so going off limited information from he divulged in his posts, I tried to figure out which Fr. Chris he was and where he was currently serving. I may have managed to find out the latter, but none of the parishes with which he was associated currently list him on their websites, so nobody knows which bishop to contact at the moment. Gah.

Why would someone go out of their way to report a priest with questionable behavior on a chat site? Seems to me that going out of your way to try and ruin a guy's life is pretty sinful.

You're overrated.

And if said guy's life consists of solely ruining others' lives, then what?

You're overrated.

You know it!

It feels like it should be a Friday. But it's Monday.

We're not trying to ruin his life, just hold him accountable for behavior unbefitting his office. I don't think it's anything that could get him defrocked. And honestly, I was in it more for the Googling challenge than anything else.

My gov homework took waaay too long.

There's only so much a person can read about Labor economic and social policy in the UK before it all turns to inane dribble.

I'm going to guess about one sentence?

 

[Takhisis]

Since it's the UK, it's spelled 'Labour'.

Like Takhisis said, you aren't a very good Brit!
(Of course, I have been guilty of using the British spelling in some of my essays; such as colour or armour. )

Heh. I myself LIKE to use British spelling once in a while, despite I ( ) being 100% American.

Due to reorganization we have to move to a new office in a different building. We will be with more people in a smaller office.... but the worst thing is, we're losing our beautifull view over the citysquare with all the bars and cafés

We really need to get around to taking your passport away.

Ah, so then he'd be a true American.

I wish.

You guys will be civilized eventually!

Its cold as Siberia outside, tons of snow, I'm not going to school but my motherboard broke (to be exact my PCIe slot) and now I cant play anything, and I'm bored to death! The worst part is I cant buy a great cheap motherboard and processor online because the fast mail doesn't WORK!
