@divadybhsa @shiftkey @danger5tv Yeah, I’m remembering how many goddam drinks are in that show. But you deserve it, Sir. Brilliant series.
BTW, @shiftkey, I see @danger5tv creator @divadybhsa is making each of the cocktails as the episodes air tonight. Good plan.
@shiftkey Yes, I was going to watch along again with everyone tonight, but I’m enjoying the quiet sounds of the night now.
@shiftkey See what I mean?
@shiftkey Um, in amongst the many, many things that are in @danger5tv, “Sensible Chuckle†magazine is a small one. Like “Fist for Men†mag.
@wine_o_phile Yeah, possums can be extremely confident little buggers.
Well, there’s half an hour of possum-related distraction. I may just make it through the night.
RT @iMim4: With that face, I’d give him the whole loaf and the toaster to take home. [No, it’s a con. Like pandas and their damn eye trick.]
RT @Sam_Hickey: it looked like it planned to steal the toaster [Yeah, the little fucker. And then stood its ground.]
Can’t speak to gender, @organicperson, I wasn’t looking at that end of the possum.
I’m sorry the photos aren’t sharper, but the light wasn’t so bright, and I was too busy laughing.
The little fucker was going to try it on, too.
@Sam_Hickey Brush-tail.
That possum is a lot bigger than I thought it would be, @R_Chirgwin. Nevertheless, I have persuaded it to go out the way it came.

RT @daniels_den: Is @danger5tv on @SBS2 any good? [“Any good� It is superb beyond all compare. Heathen!]
@SnarkyPlatypus Yes. It does. And it is. And if you don’t mind, the emergency duck and I shall have a quiet, private moment together.
The emergency duck arrives and sends greetings, @SnarkyPlatypus pic.twitter.com/cEUT0bP6vJ
@ericscheid Oh I plan to get comprehensively ducked, trust me.
Amid many cordial greetings and best wishes for the new year, a request for emergency duck has been made and accepted.
Approaching the Place of Enduckment.
@adam_kent Perhaps Adelaide, but it seems unlikely.
@SnarkyPlatypus I will speak with it personally on your behalf.
@elronxenu Virtualising, cost, and moving it to Australia.
RT @untimelygamer: You can’t make this shit up. http://t.co/iGr8U1NtQf
@stufromoz Thank you. This should be fairly straightforward. It’s a standard process, and we’ve all done it before over the years.
I think this might be an opportune moment to re-initiate the emergency duck procedure.
@R_Chirgwin Larry Wall lists laziness as one the the three virtues of a good programmer. The computer is meant to be doing the work.
@R_Chirgwin No. The coder viewpoint is “I’ve already done it once, so now it should just happen.”
RT @kcarruthers: Sometimes @johnmcternan is simply correct.
@BernardKeane [Sometimes. Sure. Stopped clock, and all that… (Winks)]
Besides, @R_Chirgwin, I’m really not in the mood for an ambulance ride tonight.
Yeah look, @R_Chirgwin, that all sounds too hard. I have series 1 of @danger5tv on the laptop, so I’ll just watch along with everyone else.
I assume the engineers are in India, because they made a classic 30-minute error in a timezone calculation when setting up the schedule.
Not that I’m really working. I’m more just sitting around whinging while engineers … somewhere … will be doing the actual work.
I don’t think I’ll bot@R_Chirgwingwin with it. I can’t see the TV from the dining table where I’m working anyway.
Can I be bothered asking @R_Chirgwin how one obtains a television signal in this house?
MolksTVTalk The @danger5tv S02 premiere tomorrow 9:30pm @SBS2 is as close to perfect as your find for a TV series. Do not miss it.
So, the server migration is scheduled to start at midnight AEDT. The engineers are about to start their pre-migration checks. I wait.
“You can provide [the password] in this ticket and it will be secure.†OK. It may well have been. Until you emailed it back to me#headdesksk
@morebento @johnmcternan @BernardKeane There’s something wrong with you. Deeply and tragically wrong.
@SnarkyPlatypus @stufromoz I’m glad I did. I got quality service, whether conscious or not.
Pro Tip: Whatever happens when I am unconscious is not my fault. @SnarkyPlatypus @stufromoz
How can it even be my fault, @SnarkyPlatypus @stufromoz? I was unconscious!
RT @SnarkyPlatypus: @stufromoz I blame @stilgherrian for my only trip in an ambulance. [Why is it MY fault?]
RT @johnmcternan: @BernardKeane Kale should be washed, shredded, steamed and thrown out of the window as no use to a human being.
@PitcherJenna Oh. Yes. I suppose it would be.
@PitcherJenna Do you… do you find unpleasant, seedystains on it when it returns?

@pbkub @KetanJ0 Well in the US, “socialist†is now just a generic bad-thing word that you throw at any damn thing you like. It’s handy.
@pbkub @KetanJ0 No clue on the Flickr page, but it can’t be any earlier than the 1950s, because the B-52 is in it.

@ClintonDucas No, no you don’t understand. There are NO emergency animals available at all. Nor consolatory vegetables. All is dark.
@SnarkyPlatypus Nah, it’s deathly quiet here during the day these two holiday weeks. They’re still open for dinner tonight. I shall return.
This comes as quite a shock.
Uhoh. I seem to have encountered a difficult situation. Emergency duck is not available at this time of day until Monday. I must re-plan.
@scottcarson1957 Well, yes. Exceptional.
@mrgrumio Ooh, tricky question. I’d better not comment on your personal situation vis-a-vis your role as a communist infiltrator.
@scottcarson1957 Ain’t that the truth. The five-cent Coca-Cola was sort of along those lines.
@scottcarson1957 God bless America!
@scottcarson1957 My God, you’re right! How did America survive this onslaught by those cunning, filthy Reds?
@SnarkyPlatypus No, not yet. I’m about to do that right now though. Just as soon as I find my shoes.
OK, I’d better get this show on the road.

Sat plan, draft: Breakfast; shopping; emergency duck; extensive sloth; evening TBA; 2300 prep; 2400-0900 monitor server migration.
Saturday. Those thoughts have not stopped. Those thoughts will never stop. You must act upon those thoughts. Do it today. Do it. Saturday.
