Silliness I need help!

acprinter · 01-29-2009, 11:51 PM

I need serious help! I think I am addicted to MobileRead and should be spending my time reading books. What have you done to fix this addiction or is it just better to say Hi I’am ACPrinter and I have a problem.

Really, the best thing you can do at this point is:

1. Subscribe to LOLCATS so that you have some graphics to post that are suitable for all occasions;

2. Read up on pandas, llamas, ducks, gibbons, and how socks are produced;

3. Watch all available Monty Python movies and/or videos;

4. Become a religious fanatic; and

5. Stop taking any and all anti-psychotic medications you may be currently prescribed.

Welcome to the loony bin.

Here's a clue: "static cling" is a love song to them.

Like a Buddhist, or a Quantum Physicist.

They've got medication for that? Pshrynk just keeps telling me I should take people on more pub-crawls (and that he's just coming along to observe his patients).

I'll take your coat, and can I get you a drink?

Kick your addiction by simply going to desertgrandmas poll and vote for Germany. You will be healed!!! You will read books again! Trust me. Do it!

O wait, you´ve already got 10 posts and your k´s over 100. Sorry, no healing in that case.

If you need help, then the rest of us need to be committed

Oh, how could I possibly forget??? Eddie Izzard is a MUST!

As for the drink, preferably a Zany Carter Deluxe. Several, if you think you can handle it.

Thanks for all of the suggestions for kicking the MR habit, but as you can see they did not work, I'm back.

The Lolcat site is cute but here is a picture of two of my own kitty's having some some serious nap time.

I hope the photo upload works, I have never done this before and I have never joined a forum before.

Also as point of interest my wife does proofreading for Digital Proofreeders. Some of the errors she sees in books going over to Gutenberg are pretty bad. The poor formatting and typos are the fault of DP not Gutenberg or Manybooks.

RickyMaveety · 01-30-2009, 12:02 PM

Oh, those babies are CUTE!!

I did that once a long time ago.

You'll feel better in the morning.

$300, please, you can pay the laddy at the door. Cash only, please, in These Economically Uncertain Times.

Cute kitties!

Many of the books here are PG books that have been jumped into decent shape by our patient uploaders.

As for the addiction, ignore what everyone is telling you - there is no cure
