[NNguyenMD]

I went kind of crazy with my mouse button when my post took too long to load.

I really apologize for disrupting the board like that. Thank you Skinner for letting me back on!

[Renew Deal]

1. lol

Welcome back :hi:

[crispini]

2. Glad it's not permanent!

:hug:

So how did you like the special? :P

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

3. Ahh, Doc...

No biggy. Hell, if it were a biggy, you wouldn't be back on, right? :applause:

[Radio_Lady]

14. Tandalayo_Scheisskopf -- that's the funniest!

Doesn't "scheiss kopf" translate to "Shit Head" in German?

Maybe I should know what Tandalayo means!

Sounds like those Swiss guys with the cough drops yodelling "TANDALAYO" -- "yo, yo, yo"

Is there a funny story to go with your name on DU?

[Tandalayo_Scheisskopf]

19. Yeah, sort of...

But I would crash the server if I told it. It's kinda long. :D

[Radio_Lady]

27. Well, send it to me in short episodes -- I'll start --

Chapter 1
How I Chose The Name Tandalayo Scheisskopf

(ESSAY GOES HERE)

[Tactical Progressive]

30. Tandalayo was a hot movie vixen in an old movie, right?

[Radio_Lady]

4. Hey, it can happen to anyone ----

I was sending a message yesterday and a book leaned on a key --

Next thing I knew, I had:

Dear Mary,

It's come to my attentionnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn

Forget about it! Happy Spring -- Nguyen must be a very popular name. I know about six people from southeast Asia, specifically Viet Nam, who have that name.

I read somewhere that Chinese people only have about 200 last names. Is that true?

[NNguyenMD]

20. haha yeah its a pretty common Vietnamese name

or Texas you can count on a lot people with that last name in the phone books.

From what I know of the story, a few hundred years ago the first emperor or king of Vietnam who united the country was named Nguyen, and in honor of him everyone changed their last name to his.

My Vietnamese history is usualyl pretty terrible but i think thats how it became so common.

[Radio_Lady]

29. Must have been fun for the Post Office! n/t

Great story! A friend of mine works for a sportswear company and he travels to Viet Nam and China, where they outsource their shoe manufacturing. I'll have to ask him if he's ever heard that story!

Regards from Radio Lady

Check with you guys in the morning. I gotta go make my bed and clean up my room -- REALLY -- I can hear echoes of my mother's voice in my head.

Bye for now!

[JVS]

5. HE IS RISEN!

[Walt Starr]

6. It was great for some jokes, don't sweat it

:evilgrin:

I used the old, "He's Jed, Dim." and posted your tombstone.

[DBoon]

7. Well now we all know who you are

and will say "Hi" to you next time!

[DancingBear]

8. No problem - glad you're back

No problem - glad you're back
No problem - glad you're back
No problem - glad you're back
No problem - glad you're back

[BlackVelvetElvis]

9. Welcome back.

We needed a laugh.

[Just Me]

10. Whoopsie. Was wondering what the heck happened.

Don't feel too bad. You've just proved yourself a member of the imperfect human race.

[femme.democratique]

[whathappened]

[Orangepeel]

[PA Democrat]

15. We didn't even have time to plan your memorial service

:evilgrin:

[whistle]

16. I wondered if Parkinson's disease had suddenly developed

:woohoo:

[NNguyenMD]

17. yeah thanks for being good sports guy hehe, man turned pretty red after

seeing how many times that post was up. You guys were great though, I had some pretty good laughs reading your post on my sudden disappearance.

[Rex]

18. Someone check to see if his mouse button has been filed down!

You got an automatic mouse button! Kewl!

[MoonRiver]

21. There, there we, or at least me, can completely relate.

:hug:

[Gold Metal Flake]

22. That is what happens when you post with reverb.

Gotta turn down the effects loop before clicking post message. ;-)

[RoyGBiv]

24. I just have one question ...

Did you, by chance, catch the documentary about AAR on HBO?

:evilgrin:

[Zenlitened]

25. There was an AAR documentary on HBO? Says who?

:spray:

[NNguyenMD]

26. you know I really don't remember if I did haha j/k

[CBHagman]

28. I once forwarded an e-mail to everyone in my company...

...without editing out an unseen portion of it that had embarrassing material in it. I wanted to die.

Hang in there, and work to elect Spitzer! (And a Democratic senator in Maryland)

[noamnety]

32. Yep, this is not real embarrassment

Unless it involves calling a customer a "poor slob" and forgetting to delete their email address before forwarding to coworkers, I'm not impressed.

[thinkingwoman]

31. hey, you'll live it down

maybe. ;-)

Welcome back. Skinner is pretty cool.


P.S. Trick I have about posting (since my connection can be reeeaaalllyyy slow)...I open a second window and look for my post on the board before hitting the mouse button again.
