I just bookmarked a page, and Firefox, as it will do, offered me a choice of most frequently used selections instead of laboriously selecting a specific folder.

The choices it offered me?

Pizza
Wargames & Military History
Erotica
Smut
[wargame] Terrain

Yes, I am a bachelor...

That was a very expensive gaming keyboard I just spit a cosmo all over.

So what if you bookmark the page of Napoleonic Re-enactment Babes Eating Pizza In A Smutty Manner? What folder does that go in???

[winterbadger]

You show me a page of Hot Napoleonic Babes and I assure you that will go straight in the smut folder, whatever they are doing! :-) Eating pizza (farby!), ramming down on a cannon, cleaning the barrel of a firelock, carrying out a short-arm inspection, assisting the surgeon in a tricky operation...

(Of course, nothing says a site can only be bookmarked in one folder--just don't tell our file management guru at work that I would do that; he'd have a coronary...)

An entire folder for pizza? You sure are.

[winterbadger]

Well, in my own defense, when I moved here there seemed to be no pizza alternatives. There's one place up the street that's been in a state of renovation and "coming soon" for most of the 20 months I've lived here. There's another in town that has a website, but no ordering facility that I could find other than "go in the store, order it, and carry it away" which is a very British attitude towards pizza, but not what I expect in a small American town in the suburbs of a big city.

Then I finally located a nearby Pizza Hut (not great, but better than nothing), Dominos (ditto), and a Z Pizza (of whose incompetence see several previous entries). Just recently I found out how to order online from a local Pappa John's I has seen some time ago. And just yesterday I found a flyer in my mail for another alternative (Manny & Olga's--turns out they're OK, but not better than Pappa John's).

So, yes, I guess I do geek about pizza. Especially since *none* of them are as good as the Italian place next to the wargame store out in Chantilly where I generall have dinner on Monday nights...

I think you'll find we can phone and order our Pizza's now! In fact some have even progressed as far as ordering online :-)

*boggle* I am astounded! Next you're going to be telling me you don't have to hail the operator to make a trunk call!

Uh huh! Need I mention who has recently just discovered their mobile can send text messages????

[winterbadger]

:-p That was just me thinking I hadn't signed up for that, not not knowing how to do it. I have a very good UK mobile that we used last January to receive messages from pisica and sent her helpful replies like "msfeiyutasf!" and "frreruytwe?" (Remind me to bring that with me, in case it still works...)

(You slay me, you really do. I love your sarkyness--I was laughing at this reply almost as much as at the dodo reply.)

So where would you put this?

(hoping the links work)

[winterbadger]

In the army of the Flying Spaghetti Monster? :-)

[janewilliams20.livejournal.com]

Close: that's part of the "Person-Eating Pastapeople" army. But under which category would you put the bookmark?

[ban-leodhasach.livejournal.com]

Good to see you have healthy interests - 'Smut' and 'Wargaming' :-)

[winterbadger]

Yeah, not sure why I don't have folders for "beer", "malt", and "pipe tobacco"...

[schizokitty.livejournal.com]

I find it very amusing that you have separate folders for "erotica" and "smut." Bwah-hah-hah-hah!

TMI

[winterbadger]

Well, the "smut" folder is the general category folder, whereas the "erotica" folder is the subdirectory for written material. :-)

Got to keep everything organised! :-)
