Sorry, I just repeat what's given to me by the little voices in my head.

Oh, and I doubt I'm the only person wondering that, too! I was just bold enough to verbalize it! :) In some countries that makes me special!


LOL

Bless your soul for sparing me from having to see Burt! I can't tell you how happy it makes me that I did not have to end my day trying to figure out where his body hair ended and the bear skin rug began...

I could probably tell you....;) ...LMAO!
 
Since you've so conveniently mentioned the infamous Burt photo, I'll tell you what I saw on TV this morning. It seems that Mario Lopez has been named People's Sexiest Man (or maybe it was bachelor). The photo spread has him copying several famous scantily-clad photos. One is the Burt-on-a-bearskin-rug pose. I thought of you when I saw it.They kept showing it. The Furry Guy got really curious what I found so funny about that picture, so I told him about what's been happening here. As usual, he just shook his head and walked away.

I saw that too! It was hilarious - but probably only to us Cheffers! Seeing how Linda has immortalized Burt on the Bear Skin for us.....:rolleyes:
 
Yeah, I'm sure we're not the only ones who are interested in the picture, we're just probably the only ones who find it giggle-worthy.
 
Yeah for your computer!

Showoff! LOL!
 
My brother used to work for a computer repair center. He said they got the weirdest calls.
One time a lady called and said she broke her coffee holder. After much digging, she snapped her disc drive because she thought it was a place to hold her coffee cup.

Oh, I can give you a list of those. My favorite was teaching a bunch of "seasoned" ladies in the warehouse how to use a PC versus a terminal. One walked in the room, grabbed the mouse and put it under her right foot. When I asked her what she was doing she said, "Well, I thought it was the power pedal." (Like on a sewing machine...)

Also, for "point and click" many picked up the mouse, pointed it at the monitor like a remote control and tried to click...

You, try keeping a straight face and explaining politely to her what it is for. I about died! :D I'm sure I had a slight snicker hidden somewhere...
 
There is (or at least used to be) a website full of stories from tech support people. LOTS of them were like those - people who didn't know how to use the mouse, who shoved coins into the slots on their machines (specifically the old IBM desktops), etc. I remember a really funny one about a woman who, when told to point and click, pointed at the screen with her finger and clicked the big button (the space bar). Of course, it took the tech on the other end of the line about 20 minutes to figure out that's what she was doing.

Maybe some day is can be my ONLY source of income... this 9-5 thing is for the birds! ;)

My show is 6 - 8 PM EST. It's all friends this time, I'm doing an open house at my home. Some people are bringing friends. I hope to book some shows from it. I'm having another one the 30th. I'm also going door to door in my neighborhood dropping off flyers to the door mats - my recruiter gave me a great flyer and I modified it a bit. I made it double sided with the July specials on the back. The front is "Did you know there's a pampered chef consultant in your neighborhood" with the June and August specials summerized and all my contact info. Yippeeeee!!! :)
