The boat’s name is “NO WORRIES.”

And it’s in denial because it’s sinking.

I actually really enjoy this ^_^

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 12:47 pm

It’s funny because it’s true. 😉

rockNrollsuicide 6/19/2016 - 12:54 pm

Would be a good poster in my living room cis I totally relate.

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 1:11 pm

Also a good idea for a t-shirt, so we can broadcast our angst to the rest of humanity.

Person #1: Wow, I can’t believe Cordless is gone. It was so sudden. We never saw it coming.

Person #2: I know. She never even told us–

Person #3: You idiots; don’t you remember THE SHIRT?

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 1:14 pm

stop it! you will be salvaged! 🙂

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 1:27 pm

Possibly not.

Things are not ok, and I am not ok.

I wonder what you would have said if I really had sent you that mail on Friday night.
I had it all typed, with your address and everything… and at the last moment I decided to just delete everything.

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 1:32 pm

TRY ME! i wish you would do that and say hello now and then, i’m just glad you worked your way through it. 🙂

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 1:37 pm

Hell no, I haven’t worked my way through any of it.

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 1:40 pm

Note: The “hell no” was regarding the fact that I haven’t worked my way through any of it…. I wasn’t saying “hell no”, I won’t ever mail you anything.

I might… someday. I still feel intimidated. For a very long time I saw you as completely unapproachable.
I guess I could put “email rocketman” on my bucket list.
I was thinking about my bucket list last night… what things I’d like to get done before I go.

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 1:42 pm

Laying in bed around 4 or 5 in the morning (still not sleeping), I think I made an agreement with myself that if I can at least do half the things on my bucket list, that’s good enough. Do half the things, then I can let go and leave.

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 1:52 pm

I’m not unapproachable, i’ll be a gentleman, have no fears, what i meant by worked your way through it is your still here, your problems and mine are not just going to disappear, but it helps to talk about them sometimes. all you have to do with me

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 1:58 pm

Well, I’m currently working on my bucket list, and I just added you to it.

You’re right before Mozart.

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 2:07 pm

i’m impressed! before Mozart!!!!! You really do like me! 🙂 i’m glad i’m on your bucket list and not the other list! 🙂 your on my bucket list too! 🙂

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 12:56 pm

ha ha! no worries, that’s me going under with one hand up, i’m fine blub! blub! 🙂

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 1:12 pm

This is why you should always carry a package of Life Savers with you.

I like the peppermint ones.

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 1:22 pm

cordless your such a sucker! 🙂

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 1:23 pm

get it? sucking on life savers 🙂

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 1:30 pm

Oh, believe me, I got it.

That sound you heard was my supersonic groan which I reserve for extra bad puns.

“Supersonic groan”… it’s not much of an evil superpower, but I guess I’ll have to take what I can get.

Mr. Freeze: “I will change Batman into solid ice!!”

Joker: “I will electrocute Batman with this deadly electric hand buzzer!”

Cordless: “I… uh… if someone says a bad pun, I can… groan. Loudly.”

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 2:03 pm

Hey love my puns or don’t love my puns you got to admit i made your grown 🙂
Yeah i heard you all the over hear, auuuughhhh!

shatterediris 6/19/2016 - 1:03 pm

I’m sort of curious if the boat was recovered…. Probably, but then I’m curious if it was used again after that…. I would assume not.

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 1:24 pm

Maybe they shoddily patched it up and sold it on eBay.

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 1:12 pm

by the look of it i would say yes savaging a boat realy isn’t that hard like that one, fill bags in the hull with air get it to the dock bring it up, they are close to land, really it’s about the money can you afford to raise her and fix her? some body else will if you can’t. at a barging price like a home fixer upper. a boat fixer upper.

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 1:28 pm

A cat may come and go as it likes but it’s the dog that licks the bowl!! 🙂

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 1:32 pm

A ferret may dance the hula, but it’s the parrot who repeats what you shouted in bed last night.

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 1:42 pm

ha ha! 🙂 your good at this! i’m losing internet soon today i’m changing providers.

We don’t need to worry about sinking we have a water tight butts, blub! blub! 🙂

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 1:47 pm

How long before you’re back online again?

mysteriousvisitor 6/19/2016 - 2:09 pm

Maybe the boat is genuinely unconcerned about sinking, like in that song “Don’t Worry Be Happy”. Maybe we should be like that boat (yeah, a lot easier said than done).

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 2:12 pm

Yes, complete apathy, right up to the point when the last of the water fills our lungs.

mysteriousvisitor 6/19/2016 - 2:16 pm

Well, I was thinking acceptance, not apathy, but I definitely see your point.

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 2:24 pm

Reminds of a way to make some money!!! we could make a low budget titanic movie! get some karaoke equipment and all stand on the end singing my song life sucks or something? 🙂 we could call the movie life sucks! 🙂 Cordless can stand on the front with her arms out! I’M QUEEN OF THE WORLD! 🙂

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 2:47 pm

I DO have the Titanic soundtrack somewhere at home in my stack of CD’s….

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 2:12 pm

well they should be here anytime, and then after installation i’m sure i’ll have crap like anti virus, and setting up stuff! and i’m so analog it will probaly take me a while and a few cuss words, i already can hear the dam computer voice WELCOME TO COX!! 🙂 JUST TELL US WHY THE SKY’S BLUE AND WHO SHOT KENNEDY AND YOU WE BE UP AND RUNNING IN NO TIME!!! 🙂

EmptyPluto 6/19/2016 - 2:20 pm

Why do computers always insist on being assholes?

mysteriousvisitor 6/19/2016 - 2:21 pm

Ever read “I have no mouth and I must scream”? Warning : disturbing story.

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 2:25 pm

I’ve not heard of that.
I just searched and found its Wikipage:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_Have_No_Mouth,_and_I_Must_Scream

I might have to find a copy of that and put it on my bucket list.
Since I’m spending much of the day thinking of things to add.

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 2:30 pm

by the way your not going alphabetically are you! how far am i down on this list!! remember i’m not getting any younger!! 🙁

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 2:38 pm

So far I have seven things on the list. (Still thinking of more to add).
You’re the fifth item on the list, though I won’t be doing the items in any particular order.

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 2:40 pm

OK keep me fifth 🙁 and and a lot of things 🙂

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 2:48 pm

I was thinking probably 10 things.

Either that, or have 20 things on the list but stop after I’ve done 10.

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 2:49 pm

They always have a (micro)chip on their shoulder.

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 2:50 pm

(That was in response to Empty Pluto asking why computers are always assholes).

EmptyPluto 6/19/2016 - 2:54 pm

Cordless, hehehe that makes sense.

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 2:57 pm

OK as long as 10 is something like flapping your arms and flying up in the air about a hundred feet! 🙂 with out cheating! no cranes or stuff like that!

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 3:11 pm

Everything on the list is something I’m actually physically capable of doing, though some of the items are more difficult than others.

For some, the difficulty is in opening myself up to criticism (like the item where I post an audiofile of me playing Mozart on the french horn).

For others, the difficulty is (literally) going outside my comfort zone, driving somewhere I’ve never been, further than I’m comfortable driving. Stuff could go wrong, since I’m disabled and couldn’t walk anywhere for help if something happened. I’ll need to carefully plan the trip, making sure to pack emergency provisions, and make sure my phone is charged up and functioning.

For others, the difficulty is in being persistent and focused (like reading a particular book from start to finish, or learning to sing something in German).

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 2:21 pm

The sky is blue because that’s the paint color that was cheapest the day the sky was invented.

Just tell them you’re the one who shot Kennedy.

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 2:27 pm

See what i mean! you know the answers! i like your avatar, i tried to put my logo on their but no luck! 🙁

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 2:45 pm

Well, then, that can be one of the things I talk about in my email then. How to put your avatar on sp.

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 2:50 pm

i really would appreciate it! it’s my logo from many moons ago, it has to be shrunk of something? it only shows half of my cartoon face, and never came on here 🙁

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 3:02 pm

This is a trick!

Me: (*emailing rocketman*) Ok… here’s how to put your avatar on sp. (*explains*).
(*checks bucket list*) Whew! That was the last thing on the list! I’m done! I’m free to go!
Goodbye cruel world!

Rocketman: Not so fast. If you die now, you’ll never get to see if the avatar works.

Me: Surely you’re capable of mastering simple technological directions, and….

Rocketman: (*stares and taps foot*)

Me: Ah. I see.

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 3:18 pm

Cordless: And this is how you do it! 🙂 it’s just that easy! Goodbye cruel world!

Rocketman: i don’t see it?

Cordless: it’s simple a child could do it! just follow my instructions!!! try again 🙂 Goodbye cruel world!

Rocketman: i still don’t see it?

Cordless: look any lame brain can do this!!!!! it’s easy!!! try again!!! Goodbye cruel world! 🙂

Rocketman: i still don’t see it?

Cordless: I’M ADDING ONE MORE THING TO MY BUCKET LIST!!!!!!

Rocketman: OH REALLY!!!! I’M GLAD!! 🙂 WHAT’S THAT?

Cordless: To kill you!!!!!!!!

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 3:34 pm

I could become a zombie and eat your brain, except if it’s like Chinese food I’ll be hungry again an hour later.

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 3:38 pm

apparently it’s pretty small “my brain” you would be hungry for sure! you’d need to add a bunch of rice or something!!

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 3:57 pm

So what I should do is become a zombie, then clone you a few dozen times, then I could eat tiny brains like pizza rolls.

I haven’t had pizza rolls in a long time.
Gosh that sounds good.

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 2:51 pm

or 🙂

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 3:03 pm

Or… ?

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 3:05 pm

it has to be shrunk of something? 🙂 of sounds like my ears!

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 3:13 pm

I don’t think it needs to be shrunk; you just have to crop it correctly.
Gravatar lets you crop it if you only want part of the image captured.
If the image is a perfect square, by default it covers the whole square.

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 3:15 pm

And the address you assign it to HAS to be the same address that SP recognizes.

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 3:30 pm

see what mean? i you could crop it? or something? perhaps touch it up too! 🙂 it’s very old i took a picture of it from one of my posters i mad years ago, it’s no longer on computer, that was a few computers ago! not vic 20 but a while back 🙂 hum? i’ll think about the IP address thing? probably messed that up too!

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 3:45 pm

Step 1: Go to Gravatar dot com.
https://en.gravatar.com/

Step 2: If you already have an account, sign in. If not, make an account.
Click at the top where it says “My Gravatars”.
Make sure the address you’ve registered with them is the same as your SP address. If it’s different, no problem. Hover the pointer in the top right corner; a menu will show up which lets you add another email address.

Step 3: On the “My Gravatars” page, click at the bottom where it says “Add a new image”.

Step 4: Select “Upload New”. Locate the file you want to use, upload it, and click “Next”.

Step 5: Here’s where you get to crop it. Select either the whole picture, just a part of it, or whatever.

Step 6: Tell them whether your photo is G-rated, R-rated, or whatever.

Step 7: Pick the address you want associated with that picture (make sure it’s the same address you’re currently using for SP.)

(I just went through these steps uploading a new picture, so in a moment you’ll see it worked.)

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 3:35 pm

sweet Jesus!! i sound dyslectic or something!
i you could crop it? you could crop it!!
mad!! made!!

everything looks fine when i push the send button? until i read it.

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 3:50 pm

See my seven “easy” steps above.

(easier than my bucket list!)

As for the typos, I’ve gotten so used to seeing rocket-typos that I’d worry if they weren’t there.

Cordless: “Rocketman, what’s going on? Are you ok? That was a grammatically correct sentence with no punctuation errors or misspellings or typos. What happened?”

Rocketman: “Aliens invaded my body and sold my brain at a garage sale.”

Cordless: “I didn’t know aliens had garages.”

Rocketman: “Just kidding. I’m writing correctly because I accidentally happened to be sober today.”

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 3:43 pm

Their still not here! over due 2 hours! so much for being punctual!!!

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 3:55 pm

Repair people and installation people are never on time.

The Meteor-Alteration team never did arrive in time to save the dinosaurs, and that was a few million years ago.

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 3:59 pm

Thet just called they will be here in 15 min, i’ll miss talking with you, Rocketman signing off! 🙁 ps i like your old avatar too! 🙂

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 6:36 pm

he still here but i’m up and running! 🙂

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 5:45 pm

@mysteriousvisitor: I found the story!

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 6:52 pm

OMG! I don’t believe this shit i have a control i talk too! and it does what i say ch 192! HBO! this shit is truly awesome.

mindlessgamer619 6/19/2016 - 8:53 pm

Outwardly appearance: Everything’s fine! I’m okay..

Inside my head: this picture

Also, hi Cordy.

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 11:38 pm

Hi there. 🙂

Morris 6/19/2016 - 8:55 pm

Situational irony, like a three legged dog named ‘Lucky’.

mindlessgamer619 6/19/2016 - 8:57 pm

Hey there Morris. Sup

Morris 6/19/2016 - 9:06 pm

Hello MG619.
I was born and raised in the 619, (even though the area code has changed 3 separate times in my lifetime). Your moniker resonates with me.

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 8:59 pm

ha ha! i remember that joke! poor dog! 🙂

rocketman 6/19/2016 - 8:58 pm

mindlessgamer619, Forgive my memory, weren’t you in the hospital?

Cordless 6/19/2016 - 11:41 pm

He was!
It was appendicitis or something, wasn’t it?
