January 11, 2008The most remarkable books of my childhood - Watership Down Watership Down is the title of Richard Adams's first and most successful novel. The novel is about a group of rabbits and is named after Watership Down, a hill in the north of Hampshire, England. The story is a heroic fantasy with rabbits of human intelligence but in their natural environment. They are depicted as having a culture, including a language (Lapine), proverbs, poetry and mythology. Several chapters present pieces of rabbit lore and many editions also include an appendix of Lapine vocabulary. It was published in the United Kingdom by Rex Collings Ltd in 1972 and it has never since been out of print. In his struggle to get it into print, Adams had seen it rejected by 13 other publishers. Watership Down is near the area where Adams grew up. The story is based on a collection of tales that Adams told to his young children on trips to the countryside. Adams's description of wild rabbit behaviour was much influenced by The Private Life of the Rabbit by British naturalist Ronald Lockley, although Adams had already written the essentials of the story when he discovered Lockley's work. Watership Down has been made into an acclaimed classic film and a television series, and is Penguin Books' best selling novel of all time. STORY: In the Sandleford warren, Fiver, a young runt rabbit who is a seer, receives a frightening vision of his warren's imminent destruction. When he and his brother Hazel fail to convince their chief rabbit of the need to evacuate, they set out on their own with a small band of rabbits to search for a new home, barely eluding the Owsla, the warren's military caste. The traveling group of rabbits find themselves following the leadership of Hazel, who previously was an unimportant member of the warren. They travel through dangerous territory, with Bigwig and Silver, both former Owsla, as the only significantly strong rabbits among them. Fiver's visions promise a safe place in which to settle, and the group eventually finds Watership Down, an ideal location to set up their new warren. They are soon reunited with Holly and Bluebell, also from the Sandleford Warren, who reveal that Fiver's vision was true and the entire warren was destroyed by humans. At Watership Down, Hazel realises that there are no does among them. With the help of a seagull named Kehaar, they locate another nearby warren called Efrafa, which is overcrowded and has many does. Hazel sends a small emissary to Efrafa to present their request for does. When the group returns, Hazel and his rabbits learn that Efrafa is a police state led by the despotic General Woundwort; Hazel's rabbits barely returned alive. However, the group did manage to identify an Efrafan doe named Hyzenthlay who wants to leave the warren and can recruit other does to join. Hazel and Bigwig devise a plan to rescue the group of rabbits from Efrafa to join them on Watership Down. The Efrafan escapees start their new life on Watership Down, but soon Woundwort's army arrives to attack the Watership Down warren. Through the bravery and loyalty of Bigwig and the ingenuity of Hazel, the Watership Down rabbits defeat Woundwort.

January 9, 2008The funniest non-English groups making English funny - for Rhiwena
Rhiwena, as I promised :-)
1. Yello Yello is a Swiss electronica band consisting of Dieter Meier and Boris Blank. They are probably best known for their singles "The Race" and "Oh Yeah", which feature a mix of electronic music and manipulated vocals. And the song: Ocean Club 2. Günther alias Mats Söderlund (born 1969) is a Swedish musician, club owner, and former model, best known under his stage name Günther. After retiring from modeling, he managed clubs in Malmö. In 2004, he started his musical career performing with the stage name Günther. the song: Teeny Weeny String Bikini The guy is a real genius, I say - if he does all what he does, on purpose... He already has a big fan club online. They make lots of parodies, here's the best parody for the Teeny Weeny String bikini. He's a new-age Internet star. 3 Army of Lovers was a Swedish dance music group founded in 1987. They were famous for their controversial appearance, their music videos (some of which were banned by MTV), directed by Fredrik Boklund and their costumes, created by Camilla Thulin. Their name alludes to a documentary (IMDb entry) about Rosa von Praunheim, which in turn alludes to the Theban Band. the song I chose : Sexual Revolution 4. Modern Talking was a German pop music duo consisting of composer/producer/background singer Dieter Bohlen and singer Thomas Anders. Genre-wise they were often classified under italo-disco. By sales, it was the single most successful pop group in Germany. the song you will like, especially for the "yamma heart, yamma soul..." :D You're my heart, you're my soul Believe it or not, Modern Talking was my favorite group in my childhood. I was like 5-6 years old. :-P 5. Let's stay in Germany, ok? Maria, believe me, I like it loud... Scooter are a successful German techno band, who have sold over 14 million records and have earned 80 gold and platinum awards. The band is currently made up of members H.P. Baxxter, Rick J. Jordan and new member Michael Simon. They have a sort of "trademark" sound, with most of their songs featuring some "rap shouting", sometimes featuring a high pitched vocal. Much of their music features elements of a live performance, including the roar of the crowd, and the echoing sound of H.P.'s voice. Among their more well-known hits are "Ramp! (The Logical Song)", "Hyper Hyper", "Move Your Ass", "Fire", "How Much Is the Fish?", "Nessaja", "Maria (I Like It Loud)", "One (Always Hardcore)", "Posse (I Need You on the Floor)", "Weekend!", and "Hello! (Good to Be Back)". of course the song is Maria (I like it Loud) 6. Noone can be as good (?) as the people from India! (the URL here shows an other video, very funny one!) 7. The one you will sure love, a Hungarian band called Bikini. A very old rock band, trying to break into the international market, translated some tracks to English. Really funny! Here you have the song: End to a Dream (The best part obviously is when he starts to say: "She said... I said... She said...") :-))) I'm waiting for other suggestions to laugh together! :-))) The voice under your pillow

These are the rules that must be repeated every time. (ok, repeated.) (hmm.. AGAIN? Ok.. here it comes:) 5. These are the rules that must be repeated every time. (hey.. stop playing mind-games, allrighty?? I'm not gonna repeat you anymore.. I've already broken some of the rules, so f.. off..) 6. THERE MUST BE PHOTOS! AT ALL TIMES! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All my heroes have won awards... I will make a Guess What Game out of this.. You have to guess who's on the photo, can it be? :D So, 1st one. it will be easy, too easy. Born: 31 March 1943 Where: New York, New York, USA Awards: Won 1 Oscar and 1 BAFTA, Nominated for 1 Golden Globe and 1 Emmy  2nd one: "He described the interdependence of oxygen and hydrogen activation and made his first observations on co-dehydrases and the polyphenol oxidase systems of plants. He also demonstrated the existence of a reducing substance in plant and animal tissues. At Cambridge and during his early spell in the United States, he isolated from adrenals this reducing substance, which is now known as ascorbic acid. Returning to Cambridge in 1929, he later described the pharmacological activity of the nucleotides with Drury. On his return to Hungary, he noted the anti-scorbutic activity of ascorbic acid and discovered that paprika (capsicum annuum) was a rich source of vitamin C. His persistent studies of biological oxidation led to the recognition of the catalytic function of the C4-dicarboxylic acids, the discovery of «cytoflav» (flavin) and a recognition of the biological activity and probable vitamin nature of flavanone (vitamin P). In 1938 he commenced work on muscle research and quickly discovered the proteins actin and myosin and their complex. This led to a reproduction of the fundamental reaction of muscle contraction which formed the foundation of muscle research in the following decades. The preservation of biological material in glycerine, which has had extensive application including agricultural use in the preservation of sperm, has resulted from his more recent work. He has also developed the use of rabbit psoas muscle as an experimental material, published theories on the problems of energetics and investigated the regulation of growth and cell membrane potential, and the hormonal function of the thymus gland.  3rd one: born December 28, 1903 in Budapest, Austria-Hungary; died February 8, 1957 in Washington D.C., United States) was an Austria-Hungary-born American mathematician who made contributions to quantum physics, functional analysis, set theory, topology, economics, computer science, numerical analysis, hydrodynamics (of explosions), statistics and many other mathematical fields as one of history's outstanding mathematicians. Most notably, von Neumann was a pioneer of the application of operator theory to quantum mechanics (see von Neumann algebra), a member of the Manhattan Project and the Institute for Advanced Study at Princeton (as one of the few originally appointed — a group collectively referred to as the "demi-gods"), and the co-creator of game theory and the concepts of cellular automata and the universal constructor. Along with Edward Teller and Stanislaw Ulam, von Neumann worked out key steps in the nuclear physics involved in thermonuclear reactions and the hydrogen bomb.  4th: (August 1, 1885 in Budapest – July 5, 1966) was a Hungarian physical chemist who was important in the development of the tracer method where radioactive tracers are used to study chemical processes, e.g., the metabolism of animals. For this he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1943. When Germany invaded Denmark in World War II, he dissolved the gold Nobel Prizes of Max von Laue and James Franck into aqua regia to prevent the Nazis from stealing them. He placed the resulting solution on a shelf in his laboratory at the Niels Bohr Institute. After the war, he returned to find the solution undisturbed and precipitated the gold out of the acid. The Nobel Society then recast the Nobel Prizes using the original gold. In 1923 he was a co-discoverer of Hafnium (Latin Hafnia for "Copenhagen", the home town of Niels Bohr), with Dirk Coster, validating the original 1869 prediction of Mendeleev.  5th: 1908 - Born on January 15th in Budapest, Hungary, Austria-Hungary. Hungarian-born American nuclear physicist who participated in the production of the first atomic bomb (1945) and who led the development of the world's first thermonuclear weapon, the hydrogen bomb. 1930 - After attending schools in Budapest, he earned a degree in chemical engineering at the Institute of Technology in Karlsruhe, Germany. He then went to Munich and Leipzig to earn a Ph.D. in physical chemistry. 1931-1933 - During the years of the Weimar Republic, He was absorbed with atomic physics, first studying under Niels Bohr in Copenhagen and then teaching at the University of Göttingen. 1935 - He and his bride, Augusta Harkanyi, went to the United States, where he taught at George Washington University in Washington, D.C. 1939 - Together with his colleague George Gamow, he established new rules for classifying the ways subatomic particles can escape the nucleus during radioactive decay. - Following Bohr's stunning report on the fission of the uranium atom and inspired by the words of President Franklin D. Roosevelt, who had called for scientists to act to defend the United States against Nazism, He resolved to devote his energies to developing nuclear weapons. 1941 - He had taken out U.S. citizenship and joined Enrico Fermi's team at the University of Chicago in the epochal experiment to produce the first self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction. 1943 - He then accepted an invitation from the University of California at Berkeley to work on theoretical studies on the atomic bomb with J. Robert Oppenheimer; and when Oppenheimer set up the secret Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory in New Mexico, He was among the first men recruited. 1946 - He accepted a position with the Institute for Nuclear Studies at the University of Chicago but returned to Los Alamos as a consultant for extended periods. 1949 - The Soviet Union's explosion of an atomic bomb made him more determined that the United States have a hydrogen bomb, but the Atomic Energy Commission's general advisory committee, which was headed by Oppenheimer, voted against a crash program to develop one. 1952 - He was instrumental in the creation of the United States' second nuclear weapons laboratory, the Lawrence Livermore Laboratory, in Livermore, California. - These new ideas provided a firm basis for a fusion weapon, and a device using the He-Ulam configuration, as it is now known, was successfully tested at Enewetak atoll in the Pacific on November 1st; it yielded an explosion equivalent to 10 million tons (10 megatons) of TNT. 1953 - Concurrently he was professor of physics at the University of California at Berkeley and was professor-at-large there. 1954 - He was associate director of Livermore and he was its director four years after. 1982-1983 - He remained a prominent government adviser on nuclear weapons policy, and he was a major influence in President Ronald Reagan's proposal of the Strategic Defense Initiative, an attempt to create a defense system against nuclear attacks by the Soviet Union. 2003 - He was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom. - Died on September 9th in Stanford, California.  6th: He was a Hungarian physicist and mathematician. He received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1963 "for his contributions to the theory of the atomic nucleus and the elementary particles, particularly through the discovery and application of fundamental symmetry principles". Some contemporaries referred to Him as the Silent Genius and some even considered him the intellectual equal to Albert Einstein, though without the prominence. He is important for having laid the foundation for the theory of symmetries in quantum mechanics as well as for his research into atomic nuclei, and for his several theorems.  7th: (1854 - 1938), was a Hungarian electrical engineer, co-inventor of the closed iron core transformer and the ZBD model AC electrical generator. He is also noted for inventing a type of repulsion motor.  8th: (June 3, 1899 – June 13, 1972) was a Hungarian biophysicist. In 1961, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for his research on the function of the cochlea in the mammalian hearing organ. He developed a method for dissecting the inner ear of human cadavers while leaving the cochlea partly intact. By using strobe photography and silver flakes as a marker, he was able to observe that the basilar membrane moves like a surface wave when stimulated by sound. Because of the structure of the cochlea and the basilar membrane, different frequencies of sound cause the maximum amplitudes of the waves to occur at different places on the basilar membrane along the coil of the cochlea. He concluded that his observations showed how different sound wave frequencies are locally dispersed before exciting different nerve fibers that lead from the cochlea to the brain. He theorized that the placement of each sensory cell (hair cell) along the coil of the cochlea corresponds to a specific frequency of sound (the so-called tonotopy). He later developed a mechanical model of the cochlea, which confirmed the concept of frequency dispersion by the basilar membrane in the mammalian cochlea. But this model could not provide any information as to a possible function of this frequency dispersion in the process of hearing. In 1974, in looking back over progress in the field, he remarked "In time, I came to the conclusion that the dehydrated cats and the application of Fourier analysis to hearing problems became more and more a handicap for research in hearing, referring to the difficulties in getting animal preparations to behave as when alive, and the misleading common interpretations of Fourier analysis in hearing research.  9th: (June 5, 1900, Budapest – February 9, 1979, London) was a Hungarian physicist and inventor, most notable for inventing holography, for which he later received the Nobel Prize in Physics.  10th: My one and only dream guy was here last summer. The sky was almost the same...:  I've changed my mind. I'm gonna tag a person. :-) I will let him know.

August 18, 2007No Comment...Can you tell me please where are the lyrics like "Puppy Love" or The Beatles, and why are these more popular than them? And they keep saying women are not equal to men when it comes to win a job, (at least in Europe it's very true...), then they come up with such music:
BloodHound Gang... "Three Point One Four" My last girlfriend didn't like me thought she might be, I need to find a new vagina, Women are like dog, doo, hear me through don't interrupt,

August 9, 2007Here you have Rho... :Drhiwena tagged me, boys...8 Random Things About MeHere are the rules:1) Only list 8 facts. 2) You must then list 8 TAGS at the end of the post. This means you must name 8 people on Buzznet who now must do the same blog. 3) Then go comment on their profile and tell them to come read yours! Probably everyone has given up on reading these. 1.) I'm too sentimental and childish. See how I prove it, hehehe... I answer to this silly Tag Game, and I should work instead you know.. 2.) I can still cry on stupid TV films, series - the last film made me cry was Starman. Dang, I don't want to get pregnant by an alien.. 3.) Please, consider this as a fact: I will TAG John I don't care about others who probably will also TAG him. I want him to Answer me, because I was the first to leave a comment on this popular man's blog. 4.) I still love to correspond by letters. I have a couple of friends and family members writing me with more or less regularity, inclduding: rhiwena who dared to TAG me this time... 5.) I like latin guys, (and sorry pixeltopia but) except Ricky Martin (and maybe Enrique Iglesias..) and my favorite is: ruipfg. I should TAG him but I know he would never post 8 facts about him. 6.) I'm out of ideas. This time, these days - "tanto faz".. 7.) I like football. I like tennis. I do tennis. OK, I used to play tennis, but I would like to continue because it was a strong part of my life, and since I've changed country, I'm not into it (grave problems with time and space...). 8.) I don't talk to plants. But I talk to cats, dogs, stupid drivers and looneys. That's my way of life. 9.) ... oh... no, this is a secret, sorry. You asked for EIGHT... So, I will tag: LEXIDIEM, PIXELTOPIA, FREAKPOWERTIX, ARTSYSF, ZUUKA, VERON23, HAPPYCAT and TAIGETOS.

May 14, 2007RevoltedMy dearest, old buzznet friends! :-)
I proudly
present myself (can I ?) as a home Internet - user, finally! We made
it, though the connection is really weak - 115 Kpbs - and I'll have to
wait a lot during the uploads of all the photos I made during the 6
months I've been away and I'd like to share with you. And now the reason I make this entry: Buzznet doesn't seem to be what is was. We, the "core" users, the ones who turned Buzznet into as it is today, popular and well-known, are bothered daily by young fanatic human (?) beings asking us to "Buzz" them. Though until this very day I couldn't figure out the real meaning of that feature here (being buzzed), it seems to be a vitally important thing for some bored teenagers who are trying to look like - Fall Out Boy yesterday, - Avril Lavigne today, - and Marylin Manson tomorrow? I wonder what's all behind these actions.. Buzznet is trying to turn into an e-zine for crazy teenagers? I get messages every day from angry/sad/desperate/bored/bothered people, my old buzz friends, announcing their "retreats" from Buzznet, leaving Buzznet for Flickr and other sites. I tried all, and I still prefer Buzznet than any other. And therefore, here I am protesting against this madness on this site... (If you agree, buzz me) LOL Kissies for every dear buzznet friend of mine, Kathy

October 2, 2006A tribute to my favorite - Joseph Heller and Catch-22
"In sixty days you'll be fighting Billy Petrolle," the colonel with the big fat mustache roared. "And you think it's a big fat joke." "I don't think it's a joke, sir," Clevinger
replied. There were three members of the Action Board, the bloated colonel with the big fat mustache, Lieutenant Scheisskopf and Major Metcalf, who was trying to develop a steely gaze. As a member of the Action Board, Lieutenant Scheisskopf was one of the judges who would weigh the merits of the case against Clevinger as presented by the prosecutor. Lieutenant Scheisskopf was also the prosecutor. Clevinger had an officer defending him. The officer defending him was Lieutenant Scheisskopf. It was all very confusing to Clevinger, who began vibrating in terror as the colonel surged to his feet like a gigantic belch and threatened to rip his stinking, cowardly body apart limb from limb. One day he had stumbled while marching to class ; the next day he was formally charged with "breaking ranks while in formation, felonious assault, indiscriminate behavior, mopery, high treason, provoking, being a smart guy, listening to classical music and so on." In short, they threw the book at him, and there he was, standing in dread before the bloated colonel, who roared once more that in sixty days he would be fighting Billy Petrolle and demanded to know how the hell he would like being washed out and shipped to the Solomon Islands to bury bodies. Clevinger replied with courtesy that he would not like it ; he was a dope who would rather be a corpse than bury one. The colonel sat down and settled back, calm and cagey suddenly, and ingratiatingly polite. "What did you mean," he inquired slowly, "when
you said we couldn't punish you?" "No, sir." "Well, Metcalf, suppose you try keeping that stupid mouth of yours shut, and maybe that's the way you'll learn how. Now, where were we? Read me back the last line." " 'Read me back the last line,' " read
back the corporal who could take shorthand. "That's very good. You really are up the creek, Popinjay. Is Popinjay really your name? Just what the hell kind of a name is Popinjay, anyway? I don't like it." "It's Popinjay's name, sir," Lieutenant Scheisskopf explained. "Well, I don't like it, Popinjay, and I just can't wait to rip your stinking, cowardly body apart limb from limb. Cadet Clevinger, will you please repeat what the hell it was you did or didn't whisper to Yossarian late last night in the latrine?" "Yes, sir. I said that you couldn't find me guilty - " "We'll take it from there. Precisely what did you mean, Cadet Clevinger, when you said we couldn't find you guilty?" "I didn't say you couldn't find me guilty, sir." "When?" "When what, sir?" "Goddammit, are you going to start pumping me again?" "No, sir. I'm sorry, sir." "Then answer the question. When didn't you say we couldn't find you guilty?" "Late last night in the latrine, sir." "Is that the only time you didn't say it?" "No, sir. I always didn't say you couldn't find me guilty, sir. What I did say to Yossarian was - " "Nobody asked you what you did say to Yossarian. We asked you what you didn't say to him. We're not at all interested in what you did say to Yossarian. Is that clear?" "Yes, sir." "Then we'll go on. What did you say to Yossarian?" "I said to him, sir, that you couldn't find me guilty of the offense with which I am charged and still be faithful to the cause of ..." "Of what? You're mumbling." "Stop mumbling." "Yes, sir." "And mumble 'sir' when you do." "Metcalf, you bastard!" "Yes, sir," mumbled Clevinger. "Of justice, sir. That you couldn't find - " "Justice?" The colonel was astounded. "What is justice?" "Justice, sir - " "That's not what justice is," the colonel jeered, and began pounding the table again with his big fat hand. "That's what Karl Marx is. I'll tell you what justice is. Justice is a knee in the gut from the floor on the chin at night sneaky with a knife brought up down on the magazine of a battleship sandbagged underhanded in the dark without a word of warning. Garroting. That's what justice is when we've all got to be tough enough and rough enough to fight Billy Petrolle. From the hip. Get it?" "No, sir." "Don't sir me!" "Yes, sir." "And say 'sir' when you don't," ordered Major Metcalf. Clevinger was guilty, of course, or he would not have been accused, and since the only way to prove it was to find him guilty, it was their patriotic duty to do so. He was sentenced to talk fifty-seven punishment tours. Popinjay was locked up to be taught a lesson, and Major Metcalf was shipped to the Solomon Islands to bury bodies. A punishment tour for Clevinger was fifty minutes of a weekend hour spent pacing back and forth before the provost marshal's building with a ton of an unloaded rifle on his shoulder." ... Yossarian had done his best to warn him
the night before. 'You haven't got a chance, kid.' he told him
glumly.'They hate Jews."

September 27, 2006Strange Job Interview BehaviorStrange Job Interview Behavior Most managers and supervisors (and HR people) have had experiences interviewing candidates for job openings.
Based on
a survey published via the Internet, here are some of the oddest
things – happened during job interviews - reported by HR
professionals. "... said he was so well-qualified that if he didn't get the job, it would prove that the company's management was incompetent." "... stretched out on the floor to fill out the job application." "... brought her large dog to the interview." "... chewed bubble gum and constantly blew bubbles." "Candidate kept giggling through serious interview." "She wore a Walkman and said she could listen to me and the music at the same time." "Balding candidate abruptly excused himself. Returned to office a few minutes later, wearing a hairpiece." "Applicant challenged interviewer to arm wrestle." "... asked to see interviewer's resume to see if the personnel executive was qualified to judge the candidate." "... announced she hadn't had lunch and proceeded to eat a hamburger and French fries in the interviewer's office." "Man wore jogging suit to interview for position as financial vice president." "Stated that, if he were hired, he would demonstrate his loyalty by having the corporate logo tattooed on his forearm." "When I asked him about his hobbies, he stood up and started tap dancing around my office. "... had a little pinball game and challenged me to play with him." "... bounced up and down on my carpet and told me I must be highly thought of by the company because I was given such a thick carpet." "At the end of the interview, while I stood there dumbstruck, went through my purse, took out a brush, brushed his hair, and left." "... pulled out a Polaroid camera and snapped a flash picture of me. Said he collected photos of everyone who interviewed him." "During the interview, an alarm clock went off from the candidate's brief case. He took it out, shut it off, apologized and said he had to leave for another interview." "An applicant came in wearing only one shoe. She explained that the other shoe was stolen off her foot in the bus." "He took off his right shoe and sock, removed a medicated foot powder and dusted it on the foot and in the shoe. While he was putting back the shoe and sock, he mentioned that he had to use the powder four times a day, and this was the time." "... asked who the lovely babe was, pointing to the picture on my desk. When I said it was my wife, he asked if she was home now and wanted my phone number. I called security." "... she threw-up on my desk, and immediately started asking questions about the job, like nothing had happened." "Pointing to a black case he carried into my office, he said that if he was not hired, the bomb would go off. Disbelieving, I began to state why he would never be hired and that I was going to call the police. He then reached down to the case, flipped a switch and ran. No one was injured, but I did need to get a new desk." "... asked if I wanted some cocaine before starting the interview."

September 5, 2006Please, somebody should explain this to me!!!
What's the story behind ??? :
 Sting - Russians lyrics In Europe and America, there's a growing feeling of hysteria Conditioned to respond to all the threats In the rhetorical speeches of the Soviets Mr. Krushchev said we will bury you I don't subscribe to this point of view It would be such an ignorant thing to do If the Russians love their children too How can I save my little boy from Oppenheimer's deadly toy There is no monopoly in common sense On either side of the political fence We share the same biology Regardless of ideology Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too There is no historical precedent To put the words in the mouth of the President There's no such thing as a winnable war It's a lie that we don't believe anymore Mr. Reagan says we will protect you I don't subscribe to this point of view Believe me when I say to you I hope the Russians love their children too We share the same biology Regardless of ideology What might save us, me, and you Is that the Russians love their children too

June 27, 2006CRAZY AOL - this is a funny one!
An incredible video from CNBC shows an AOL customer trying to cancel
his account, but a phone rep won't let him do it. What customer Vincent
Ferrari got when he tried to cancel his account was a lot of
frustration.
It took him 15 minutes waiting on the phone just to reach a real, live person. And, what happened next was recorded by Ferrari on audio and lasted about four minutes: CLOCK READOUT - 00:00 AOL REPRESENTATIVE: Hi this is John at AOL... how may I help you today? VINCENT FERRARI: I wanted to cancel my account. AOL: : Sorry to hear that. Let's pull your account up here real quick. Can I have your name please? VINCENT: Vincent Ferrari. CLOCK READOUT - 00:30 AOL: : You've had this account for a long time. VINCENT: Yup. AOL: : Use this quite a bit. What was the cause of wanting to turn this off today? VINCENT: I just don't use it anymore. AOL: : Do you have a high speed connection, like the DSL or cable? VINCENT: Yup. AOL: : How long have you had that... VINCENT: Years... AOL: : ...the high speed? VINCENT: ...years. AOL: : Well, actually I'm showing a lot of usage on this account. VINCENT: Yeah, a long time, a long time ago, not recently... CLOCK READOUT - 01:47 AOL: : Okay, I mean is there a problem with the software itself? VINCENT: No. I just don't use it, I don't need it, I don't want it. I just don't need it anymore. AOL: : Okay. So when you use this... I mean, use the computer, I'm saying, is that for business or for... for school? VINCENT: Dude, what difference does it make. I don't want the AOL account anymore. Can we please cancel it? CLOCK READOUT - 02:21 AOL: : Last year was 545, last month was 545 hours of usage... VINCENT: I don't know how to make this any clearer, so I'm just gonna say it one last time. Cancel the account. AOL: : Well explain to me what's, why... VINCENT: I'm not explaining anything to you. Cancel the account. AOL: Well, what's the matter man? We're just, I'm just trying to help here. VINCENT: You're not helping me. You're helping me... AOL: I am trying to help. VINCENT: Helping... listen, I called to cancel the account. Helping me would be canceling the account. Please help me and cancel the account. AOL: No, it wouldn't actually... VINCENT: Cancel my account... AOL: : Turning off your account... VINCENT: ...cancel the account... AOL: : ...would be the worst thing that... VINCENT: ...cancel the account. CLOCK READOUT - 03:02 AOL: Okay, cause I'm just trying to figure out... VINCENT: Cancel the account. I don't know how to make this any clearer for you. Cancel the account. When I say cancel the account, I don't mean help me figure out how to keep it, I mean cancel the account. AOL: : Well, I'm sorry, I don't know what anybody's done to you Vincent because all I'm... VINCENT: Will you please cancel the account. CLOCK READOUT - 03:32 AOL: : Alright, some day when you calmed down you're gonna realize that all I was trying to do was help you... and it was actually in your best interest to listen to me. VINCENT: Wonderful, Okay. CLOCK READOUT - 03:39 "I've never ever experienced anything like that," Ferrari told CNBC. He recounts how the AOL representative - as a last resort even asked if his dad was home. "I think I could've put up with everything, but at the point when he asked to speak to my father, I came very close to losing it at that point," said the 30-year-old Ferrari. Ferrari then posted the call online, and the response was tremendous. AOL sent him an apology and said the customer service rep was no longer with the company.

Well, it`ll be over, and I will go out tomorrow for the whole day. Cant be at home. Thats not for me. Kisses! Kathy

February 18, 2006Jokes I like most
Yes guys, I'll tire you with jokes from now on. I can't post photos with jokes everytime.. :)
So let me see. The Little Voice A guy gets home from work one night and hears a little voice. The little voice tells him, "Quit your job, sell your house, take your money, go to Vegas." The man is disturbed at what he hears and ignores the little voice. The next day, when he gets home from work, the same thing happens. The little voice tells him, "Quit your job, sell your house, take your money, go to Vegas." Again, the man ignores the little voice, though he is very troubled by the event. Every day, day after day, the man hears the same little voice when he gets home from work, "Quit your job, sell your house, take your money, go to Vegas." Each time the man hears the little voice he becomes increasingly upset. Finally, after two weeks, he succumbs to the pressure. He does quit his job, sells his house, takes his money and heads to Vegas. The moment the man gets off the plane in Vegas, the little voice tells him, "Go to Harrah's." So, he hops in a cab and rushes over to Harrah's. As soon as he sets foot in the casino, the little voice tells him, "Go to the roulette table." The man does as he is told. When he gets to the roulette table, the little voice tells him, "Put all your money on 17." Nervously, the man exchanges all his money for chips and then puts them all on 17. The dealer wishes the man good luck and spins the roulette wheel. Around and around the ball caroms. The man anxiously watches the ball as it slowly loses speed until finally it settles into number... 21. The little voice says, "Oops..." and if you want to receive more, do what I do: go to ArcaMax's webpage and get the newsletters :)
