Wow, are we all just complete dorks, or what? :-)

Really, if I see one more thread about "which is better", "something vs. something else", of the like, I'm going to lose it! "Should I switch from this crappy Cpanel to a real one? I need opinions!", "Should I stay with this host that isn't giving me any tech support at all?", "Should I stare directly at the Sun for an hour without blinking"?

"Please help me with these questions", I can't possibly make a logical decision on my own!" Granted, some questions are relevant, even about people's experience, but some are just too dumb and I don't know what they do without their mommies!

Tim ya want to see people without brains ya should come to Maui and observe tourists ;) (not all just some)
I work on a boat (1 - 2 days a week) that goes to Molokini if anyobdy has done this trip you will understand for those that have not

well you leave the harbour and to the left is Maui duh Haleakala is a 10,000+ foot volcano very very big hard to miss anyway we are less than a few miles of shore and this huge mtn on our left going out
on the way back about a person a day looks very confused and you can see them looking left then right
they then ask what island is that? you say Maui and they say well how can it be it was on the other side on the way out ?????
dohhhh
the few other ques we get

Do you live here ??? we usually say we comute from the mainland they then give us a puzzled look and are not sure what to think

what I love is at work they ask you
so where do you do for work ??

where do people live on Maui ? uhhhh we live in houses or condos
then they usually ask well where do the people who work in the hotels live ? Like I am suposed to know or what are they thinking ??

on a sad note seems like a few families die each year and almost at least once a month a major accident from tourists here from doing U-turns on the main roads
they just slam on there brakes and do a U-turn
scarryyy no looking or pulling over

my one friend always says it amazes him how some people so stupid can afford to come to Maui every year ???
hehehheehehe

Thanks for the wake up call about Paradise, Honu. Heh.

Yeah, that reminds me of a lot of people... mostly those humans...

Some of those questions remind me of people in chat rooms. Everyone enters the chat room with a handle. (Referring to a chat room I ran):

I enter with "Tim", because I don't care about a handle most days.

Someone enters the room with the handle "Hotchick".

'Hotchick' says "Hi everyone!" (actually, more like "Wuzzup evry 1").

Everyone greets "Hotchick".

She says to me (assuming it's really a "she") "Says to Tim: Hi, who are you?".

I say "How am I, or who am I?"

She says "who are you?"

(Mind you, this is my site, she's never been here before -- she's new, not I).

I say "I'm Tim".

She says "I know, but who are you?"

I say "I'm Tim".

She gets pissed off "I know who you are, but WHO ARE YOU!?"

I say "What the hell do you want me to say? I'm ME, who are YOU? are you YOU, or are you someone else? How am I supposed to answer that question? Do you want my real full name, social security number and home address, my ID scanned, or what!?"

She says "I just want to know who you are!!!"

I, of course say: "Well, I'm ME, of course."

She says "Oh never mind then!!"

Ha, little she knew. I was actually just me in disguise!! I guess I didn't give her my ID and social security number, or my full name, so she flew off the handle. It just kind of seems funny how stupid people can be. I mean, can you imagine walking up to someone you've never met in your life and ask them "Who are you!?". Heh. It's really hard to get along with people that dense, it really is. I'm simply not patient enough, and I have no desire or reason to be patient with those type of people.

Hoo's a cawllin hoo a dawk? Eye'sa nawmally speekin leyek dis.

What's disturbing is that now I'm starting to sounds like Jar Jar Binks.

And what's even worse is that "sounds" on that last line was NOT a typo!

Yes, Tim, that's the greeting on a chat room, then you've got the farewell:

"I have to go"
"Where?"
"Away, goodbye"
"Why?"
"Well I said I 'had to go', I'm busting, could I be any more subtle? (pun intended)"
"Huh?"
"I need to go alright"
"Yeah, but what are you doing"
"Have to do some stuff"
"Like..."
"Like work"
"What kind of work"
"Ah... work"
"You're not very talkative"
"Because I said I had to go"
"Huh?"
<Now would be a good time to exit>

:D

Some say Ebonics are good, I say "Sure, just as long as rifles are still legal to own in this country."

The best kind of chatter, just amazing.

People that can't figure out how to work it, and I mean, in the most pathetic way.

There's a button "chat", I've named it "talk", I've named it "submit", "send message", I've named it everything, didn't make a difference.

The text above the chat box:

"Type your message in the text box below. Once you are finished, press the "Chat" or "Send message" button."

Also: "When you send a message, the screen will update with your message, as well as any messages that are new from any other user's logged onto the chat room".

Can it be any more simple? Maybe a little, and I've done it and worded it to be so simple, it would insult most people.

Still, user's come into the room (the most difficult part, by the way! -- and boy is that a doozie.. you have to fill in a chat handle, a password, choose the room you want and press a button all in one setting!). The user enters the room (this is announced to them and the room).

They start posting messages:

On the screen, you start seeing things like;

#5: idiotboy (@ip.address) at time
helo


#5: idiotboy (@ip.address) at time

#5: idiotboy (@ip.address) at time

#5: idiotboy (@ip.address) at time
help how do i leave



#5: idiotboy (@ip.address) at time
ehlp



#5: idiotboy (@ip.address) at time
bye!!!!!!



User #5: idiotboy (@ip.address) has timed out of the chat room at time.


Now, after reading that, you'd think that no one was talking to him. When, in fact, 30 people are in the room, desperately trying to get his attention. He thinks he can't even figure out how to chat, so the room sucks and he doesn't see anyone's messages, no one's talking to him, etc.

Well, sometimes the user would press "Send message" and stop the transfer before the next page was even starting to transfer or show his messages. Often though, most of the time, he was getting the new screen, and as soon as it loaded, he scrolled down the screen back to the message/chat box, bypassing all the 50 messages each time, not paying any attention. Then, he gets frustrated and wants to leave, but he doesn't figure out that there's a big image right at the top of the screen that says "Exit Room", so he inevitably times out from inactivity. Now he goes and tells all his pals that the chat room sucks and to not go there. Big loss. *L* Talk about dense!!!!!

Obviously not. You should blink at least once every 10 minutes. Furthermore, to get the full effect, you should stare at the sun for at least 2 hours, not just one.

OK this next part is kinda borderline sick
but for a chat room it could be funny in a demented way
adn I would no way ever say these things I am just trying to be funny in a sick way
sorry if it offends and do not take this as my personality
I am not in prison do not have a dog or kid and love my wife !!!


after the tenth I got to go and WHY ??

I have to go kick my dog beat my kid slap my wife around (dang where is my gun) OH I forgot got to get my girlfriend home to so talk to you when I get back

Now please people read this in a way to twig on other people I would never do this but it is harsh

or else:

well I guess I do not have to go now
the warden said I can stay here another few hours heck I aint going anywhere anyway got another 17 years left
what was your address again ?
since I have your IP address I can probly track ya down somewhat was that your real name ?
well the stalking charges were dropped at least on the 7th victim I can not wait to meet you I will be here every day waiting for you ????

(better yet do this after you get her/his email)
man that would be scary

now again I would never actually do this
scary thing is it most likely happens in real life.
I feel like a wacko for coming up with this stuff
it could have been worse ;)
