Curious George and the Little Orange Fox . Hope me once again, Monkeys! According to annoyances.org, MS has once again hijacked my computer. Should I update my registry as suggested? According to annoyances.com,Weeping Radish Root Beer is "exactly what a root beer should taste like." Check out the beers. Draw a wombat.

  • That's the worst drawing of a wombat I've ever seen.
  • Yet another example of Microsoft's underhanded evil. No need to futz around with your registry though. Microsoft has heard the howls of complaint and released version 1.1 of their stupid addon which re-enables the Uninstall button. It's available here. The comments on the page make for amusing reading.
  • I mean, it's hard to choose, but I think this is the best wombat. Kooky link, BlueHorse.
  • Wombatman! (youtubey)
  • islander: Downloads 40,242 - despite Owen going off.
  • Wombat I never reared a young Wombat To glad me with his pin-hole eye, But when he most was sweet & fat And tail-less; he was sure to die Rossetti.
  • WRONG tellurian! Downloads 40,243. Thank you, thank you islander. Will pass this on to everyone I know. Almost tempted to register so that I can say something obscene about MicroShit. Wombats! Dey is good.
  • Many thanks again to BlueHorse and Islander for alerting us to the nefariousness of this Framework Add-on! Only one machine was infected here by Microsoft, but the mole has been removed!
  • Ooh! Weeping Radish root beer? Never had it - but their beer beer (and food!) is damn good. About the only good thing my wife and I liked about living in NC for the short time we were there.
  • Also I have a wombat story. Back in high school, I went on a road trip with my dad, brothers and sister. We asked my girlfriend (now my wife, hooray) to watch our dogs. And goat. (Did I mention we had a goat? We had a goat. There, I mentioned it.) I left her a very detailed page of instructions telling her how to care for each of our animals. For some reason, I also included very careful instructions for feeding our wombat. (We didn't have a wombat, just in case you haven't guessed that part yet.) But I dutifully told her where to find the wombat chow, how often to walk the wombat, and so forth, with an admonition not to let the wombat watch too much TV. When we got back from vacation she met me with a wry smile and said, "You don't have a wombat, do you." (Not a question, but a statement phrased like a question.) I laughed. For some reason I can't fully understand she still likes hanging out with me even after almost 20 years of similar instances... (Also one more paranthetical aside, with a semicolon; that was the semicolon, in case you missed it.)
  • Well, aren't you a caution, Mr. Frogs!! Obviously, Mrs. Frogs has a great sense of humor high level of tolerance. that is funny, though
