I swear....even Bigdady92 posted here.

While you're at it take a look at some of the names in that thread....The [H]ardasses are back.

I missed you guys. :D
 
I can't remember, but who was the guy that was a major big folder, and was the owner of an internet cafe?

Well seeing as I had no idea what Clan MacGregor was (I thought maybe an imported beer) I did a google on it and the following link was the 6th on the google response and the first to refer to something other than a real scottish clan.

http://www.pusateri.org/cruft/docs/clanmacgregor.html

So now we know what it takes to win relic over. Cheap scotch. ;)

At least now I'm in the know. You all probably figured it out a long time ago, but I'm slow like that. Who are you all again?

okay.... I'm back with Ghz and cheap Scotch.


Just built in the last 12 hours:
P3 800
P4 1.7

and am 3/4 the way through a P3 600 right now, and suspect it will be done in an hour if I can find the pin layout sheet... hell if i can just figure out the power pins, lol.

Now I just need to find my mini hub so I can get them to the work and I'll stack em up until I get the house wired... that will put me at 5.1 ghz. I'm looking for a cheap Socket A that will run 266 so I can get my 1333 AXIA in the mix... That runs 1470 on air and has ran a few weeks at 100% before I burned out the board.

Been a while... what will a 233 PII run ? My Laptop is sitting there closed and not on...

I know, talk is cheap... check my stats in a day or two. It will show production.


also:
Clan MacGregor is good with equal parts cold water and stuffed with ice... even cheap scotch is good like this. But I dont think I've had Scotch I dont like.
 
College and down computers are what happened to me heh. But I should hopefully be back now, with a few computers anyway. Good to see you :)

Hehe.
I'd post it if I had it...but I never had a copy, IIRC I typed the story directly into the forum. I'm sure someone has a copy...feel free to start a new thread asking about it.

I have only this pink phone as a memory. ;)
 
relic said:
..and so it began....
...sitting on my kitchen floot, building a new DC box while indulging in some of the finer versions of ethanol-based liquid refreshment. Halfway through the boxen building, I realized two things....

1. I was out of good scotch.
2. I hadn't started mixing the "mojo" for the party.

Now "mojo" is a particularly vile mixture of pure grain alcohol, Cherry Cool Aid powder and chunks of citrus fruits. (Please note the lack of water or any other diluent)

Mojo recipe:
4 gallons (~16 litres if you care) of 97% ethanol.
8 packages of sweetened cherry Cool Aid.
various oranges, limes, lemons, old shoes...cut into large chunks
Mix thoroughly, with bare hand, while chanting "Nothing good can come of this."
Place outside in snow to cool. (keep animals away! This stuff may kill anything smaller than a camel!)

Somewhere around the "mix thoroughly" part, the whisky, which I'd been drinking to aid in building the new DC box, kicked me in the back of the head......Hard.

This scattered my data, and made my numbers go all random, causing a nasty chain reaction of stumbling, loosing coordination and dumping 4 gallon of noxious red liquid into a brand new tbird.

I don't mean "splashing a little on the box". I mean pouring 4 gallons of mojo directly into an open case, a direct hit on the northbridge. Now, as we all know, cases are not watertight. The mojo started escaping into every corner of the kitchen. I sprang into action in an attempt to contain the dangerous stuff.

Unfortunately "springing into action" isn't very easy to do when you've just polished off a bottle of whisky. So I sort of "stumbled into mayhem" instead.

My left foot placed itself directly into the PC case, crunching parts galore, my right foot then decided it wanted no part of this and left for vacation. This had the unfortunate result of leaving me with no means of maintaining my upper body's position above the floor.

Please pause here for a visual reference.

relic, dumbfounded look on his face, stained red to his crotch with mojo, one foot in a PC case, the other slipping radiply away causing an awkward "splits" position...with floor awash in red liquid.

I did the only thing I could do. I fell forward, leading with my face, into the ocean of mojo on the floor.

The resulting splash was absolutely amazing.

Bright-red, ethanol-disolved coloring reached the ceiling.

Tendrils of mojo snaked past the cabinet doors and coated the clean dishes and food in the pantry. The telephone immediately took on a pastel pink color as the mojo ethched it's way into every surface.

The moral of the story? If you remember nothing else I've said....at least remember this....never build boxen on the kitchen floor. Happy new Year.

Every time relic does a new thread of late it seems to have a song theme...was driving me nuts trying to rememer this one..

Relic, your getting older ;)

Guess who just got back today?
Them wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, haven't much to say
But man, I still think them cats are crazy

They were asking if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
Told them you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy

The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
I said
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town

You know that chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean she was steaming

And that time over at Johnny's place
Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man we just fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her

The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
I said
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town

Spread the word around
Guess who's back in town

You spread the word around

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
And if the boys want to fight, you'd better let them

That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
Won't be long till summer comes
Now that the boys are here again

The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
Spread the word around
The boys are back in town
The boys are back in town
The boy's are back, the boys are back

The boy's are back in town again
Been hangin' down at Dino's
The boy's are back in town again

Or am I too old because I remember :rolleyes:

Folding and singing

Here's the real test:

Does anyone have a copy of MikeMcHugh's first and only post in this forum? Its been a few years now, long gone in the purge. The one where he describes the cops raiding his house in search of a meth lab? Thats some [H]ard folding history. Anyone?

Heh, I remember that. Of course though no copy here. Something about all the windows being open in the middle of winter? Or was that another one?

Fold On!

That's the one. One of the neighbors called the cops because they thought it was strange that he had all the windows open in the middle of the winter. In the end, even the cops got a chuckle out of the "meth lab" he was running. :)
 
That thread should it ever be found shall be considered a classic as well. Laughed for days over it myself. :D

All I could find. Its a start. Here's Kyle's news post about MikeMcHugh's forum post and included links (purged of course), and a partial quote.

Breaking the Law:

Mike McHugh, big dog on the [H]ard|OCP folding team got a visit from the local law enforcement officials this week. Seems as though his neighboars turned him in for running a meth lab out of his home. He is just Folding though. Thanks CIWS.

Well it had to happen. I got home the other night from visiting my new grandson and my youngest son informed me I had missed all the excitement. When asked "What excitement ?" He said the local officers of the law had just been there. When I asked him what he had been up to he said, "they were looking for you!"

I too was surprised to see how many of the old timers are still around. I quit spending time on the forum over a year ago (many of you can probably guess the reason), but I never quit folding. Seeing all the names proves that we aren't in this just because it is a passing fad. We truly believe in what we are doing.

BTW, what happened to Larry?
 
Larry's still around. He started his own folding team (em-dc.com), but he checks in regularly.
 
Guys like you make it worth while to check back no matter what.
Althought I haven't been running a cafe fore almost two years.. still have been working with computers on and off. So, I probably can get *something* to fold again. Hardly the firepower I used to have but hey... Who care :D

How's everyone doing, by the way?

Madre de mios (or something like that) :eek:
The old and wrinkly have all come back.

Feels great not having the trouble maintaining boxen that crashes every so often though, right?
 
ID01 :cool:

*Bait-Fish bows*

Glad to see you're still around! It's taken me all this time to finally catch up to you. I'd love it if you didn't let me pass :)
 
I did love that too. Life is tough sometime.
Still, that's no excuse, got to fold. Of coruse.
