Just recently, and this is not a complaint, I have had a couple of replies to threads pulled as being off topic. I totally understand the reasoning behind this. However, a number of threads seem to get moved to other forums on WW. Speaking for myself, I only tend to visit two forums on WW, within these forums I feel I have got to know - and understand - a lot of how the regulars on these forums think, what makes them tick, what their general areas of expertise are etc. Although none of us have ever met, I often think of these people if not as friends, as working colleagues.

There are often times when I would like to post a question to get feedback from these people that I feel I have got to know and trust, but feel it is going to be off topic and either pulled or moved to another forum that I do not know or visit.

I have enjoyed the sometimes light relief banter that goes on here - and the sometimes flippant comments that get thrown around - re fridges, and mouse tracking etc. Is there any way that WW could almost put a subforum within a forum? ie "adsense off topic forum" or some such thing? Just a thought.:)

Late night stats checking is always disappointing because Kazakhstan journalists sleep during trannacks vulcanised fridge experiences.

But, after several years hunting MFAs and filtering endlessly, Google decided that 200 entries was completely inadequate and granted a total ban to every publisher who publicly whines about lower quality, credibility.

Then, after trannack returned, French pubs needed more Guinness to prepare for the moderators' inevitable, dreaded Groundhog Day plotting to diversify the variety of alcoholic drinks mixed recipes while anticipating John Cleese's frilly underpants reappearing, worn to protect from dreaded, thread-locked giddiness.

Domains proliferating across Google Networks are incredible divergences, distracting everyone with intellect and schooling from sites with real authority: with black backgrounds, blinking text, and all text in upper case.

And since when did that matter? us adsensers have our own language. Most of which is typing errors after the yard arm has passed!

Since when does the "Adsense foo forum word game" have a new set of rules? I thought it was two words at a time. Or are there no rules at all at Adsense foo?

Yep your right.

Listen to me with Borgerators.

Ok, everyone is encouraged to create new hybrid words for our language.

Please Paste and continue

Borgerators > Borg + moderators/administrators
Definition: powers that be that want us to conform to the fold

Goognookered > Google + snookered
Definition: really getting it from Google

Unbeknownst

Yes the word game is two words at a time(ok within reason, it is just a target), Mod/Adnins can delete the last word.

Joke game is one phrase at a time, everyone can "back-up" into the end of the previous phrase to enable the new one.

In Egyptian mythology, Duat (or Tuat) (also called Akert or Amenthes) is the underworld, where the sun traveled from west to east during the night and where dead souls were judged by Anubis, using a feather, representing Truth. Souls which were weighted down by sin were eaten by Ammut. It is not known however whether a sinner's heart is heavier or lighter than the feather, only that to be accepted into heaven the heart must weigh the same.

One day while walking down the street a highly successfull WW member
was tragically hit by a bus and she died. Her soul arrived up in heaven
where she was met at the Pearly Gates by St. Peter himself.

"Welcome to Heaven," said St. Peter. "Before you get settled in though,
it seems we have a problem. You see, strangely enough, we've never once
had a succesfull WW member make it this far and we're not really
sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," said trannack. "Well, I'd like to,"
replied St. Peter, "but I have higher orders. What we're going to do is
let you have a day in Hell and a day in Heaven and then you can choose
whichever one you want to spend an eternity in."

"Actually, I think I've made up my mind, I prefer to stay in Heaven,"
said trannack.

"Sorry, we have rules..." And with that St. Peter put trannack in
an elevator and it went down-down-down to hell. The doors opened and she
found herself stepping out onto the putting green of a beautiful golf
course. In the distance was a country club and standing in front of her
were all her friends - fellow executives that she had worked with and
they were all dressed in evening gowns and cheering for her. They ran up
and kissed her on both cheeks and they talked about old times. They
played an excellent round of golf and at night went to the country club
where she enjoyed an excellent steak and lobster dinner. She met the
Devil who was actually a really nice guy (kinda cute) and she had a
great time telling jokes and dancing. She was having such a good time
that before she knew it, it was time to leave. Everybody shook her hand
and waved good-bye as she got on the elevator. The elevator went
up-up-up and opened back up at the Pearly Gates and she found St. Peter
waiting for her.

"Now it's time to spend a day in heaven," he said. So she spent the next
24 hours lounging around on clouds and playing the harp and singing. She
had a great time and before she knew it her 24 hours were up and St.
Peter came and got her. "So, you've spent a day in hell and you've spent
a day in heaven. Now you must choose your eternity," he said. Trannack
paused for a second and then replied, "Well, I never thought I'd say
this, I mean, Heaven has been really great and all, but I think I had a
better time in Hell." So St. Peter escorted her to the elevator and
again she went down-down-down back to Hell.

When the doors of the elevator opened she found herself standing in a
desolate wasteland covered in garbage and filth. She saw her friends
were dressed in rags and were picking up the garbage and putting it in
sacks. The Devil came up to her and put his arm around her.

"I don't understand," stammered Trannack, "yesterday I was here and
there was a golf course and a country club and we ate lobster and we
danced and had a great time. Now all there is, is a wasteland of garbage
and all my friends look miserable."

The Devil looked at her and smiled. "Yesterday we were recruiting you,
today you're staff..."

Nice job Bddmed!

Joke Game 2

An Adsenser is stranded on a desert island, he finds a magical looking bottle and rubs it, and out pops a Genie Mod who promptly moves said bottle and adsenser to a different location. "Now that you have expended the first of your three wishes without even choosing to do so", the Mod in a bottle sez, "what do you want for the other two?" Well, I always wanted to see what hell was like (Adsense without its own Foo) and poof they were transported here.

"Yesterday we were recruiting you. Today you're staff."

This is a true story:

In 1975, as I was walking down the stairs leaving the San Francisco Public Library's Science and Technology building, an earthy, healthy-looking young lady with long blonde hair smiled at me and said, "Hi! We're having a party! Would you like to join us?" After a brief conversation, with her smiling and laughing almost constantly, we got into a red Volkswagen bug and drove to a large house. The house was one of the few that had a lot of room around it, instead of being a few inches away from the houses on either side, as most houses in San Francisco were built.

There were about fifteen others there that had also been invited out of the blue. Almost all of us were guys in our late teens.

The place was decorated by someone with a lot of money and bad taste. Everything was gaudy. Lots of gold paint. We were told to make ourselves at home. A small stereo system was playing elevator music, and I turned it off without asking, to everyone's approval.

Three young women joked and laughed as they prepared dinner in a large kitchen, and we ate and made small talk. Then a guy got up and played an upright piano, often dragging his right hand down the keys, which always produced cheering and laughter from the women.

Something wasn't right. I was anxious to find out what was really going on, but played along with the overly-friendly people in the big, gaudy house.

After the piano player finally stopped, another guy got up and started speaking to us.

He spoke of a more meaningful life that awaited us, a life with a future, on a big farm in Mendicino County, a big farm filled with happy people.

"And tonight a bus is leaving here and taking us all to the farm!"

More cheering and laughter.

After his pitch, the speaker sensed my skepticism and talked to me privately. First thing he said:

"I want you to know that those things you hear in the media about Reverend Moon are not true."

I said, "Who's he?"

He couldn't believe I hadn't heard of the guy, but I hadn't. We talked a bit more, and I told him I wasn't going. He and some others spent a half-hour trying to convince me that my not going with them was a waste of a great opportunity. I wasn't going.

Out of the fifteen or so recruits, I was the only one that didn't go.

I sometimes wonder what happened to the others. How many of them were married in the Houston Astrodome? Did the women ever stop smiling and laughing?
