In case somebody wants to get ahold of me.

[Bosda Di'Chi of Tricor]

My e-mail addy is still valid, but new computer security prevents me from accessing Hotmail from work.

I must wait until I get home to read any Admin/Moderator messages.
Sorry.

[Greathouse]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

Oh DAMN! Thanks for that. That was hilarious!

:D

[Rilchiam]

I'm going to work out pretty soon. Anyone wishing to get ahold of me will have to wait 30 minutes. Or a little more, since I'll probably eat afterwards. And I'll have to change clothes. But I'll check my messages within the hour, definitely.

[Bosda Di'Chi of Tricor]

AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!

Oh DAMN! Thanks for that. That was hilarious!

:D

:confused:

[askeptic]

Please, oh please, please please won't somebody move this to the Pit?

[hajario]

You can still post from work, right? Oh please God, I hope so.

:Starting to panic:

Haj

[Greathouse]

How many emails from Admins/Mods do you usually get? And besides, they're always screaming about how we should be patient when we send them emails. I'm sure they could have waited until the end of the day to get your response. Unless they sit around, biting thier finger nails, waiting with a worried mind until you reply to them.

Ok, enough kidding around. I just thought it was funny because it sounded like attention whoring. I may be wrong, but that is the impression it gave.

[Coldfire]

I need to use the facilities for a few minutes, so don't call 911 when I don't respond to your e-mails within 30 seconds. Cheers. ;)

[Greathouse]

I am at work and have nothing else to do today except surf the dope. If anyone tries to reach me and can't, Call 9-1-1 immediately. That is until 2:00PM (Central Time) when I leave for home. I only read the dope at work so the lack of communication after I leave work should be expected and is no cause for alarm.

[elmwood]

I gotta' run to the john. If you have to call me, maybe you can wait about ten minutes or so.

[Rufus Xavier]

Goddamit, where the hell is elmwood? I've been calling and calling and - oh. Never mind.

[UncleBeer]

How many emails from Admins/Mods do you usually get?
A lot. When I was modding, everying time I logged on to the boards, I sent Bosda an e-mail notification. Pretty standard procedure; I think all the mods were instructed by Ed Zotti to do likewise. That's the real reason manhattan resigned his GQ position; he got tired of reporting Bosda five times a day.

[aldiboronti]

Your employers need to be told that when the world has need of Bosda then it has need of him: it will not be put on hold. Must Presidents, Prime Ministers, Heads of State be kept waiting until Bosda arrives home?

This is insufferable. It will not stand!

[Lord Ashtar]

I'm going to take a dump and should be in there for a while (I'm constipated). But I'll be taking my Blackberry in with me, so there should be no loss of contact.

[Xploder]

I'm gonna go to the store, then I'm gonna cook something for dinner, then I'm gonna get drunk. So if you try and get ahold of me, good freakin luck.

[TubaDiva]

Don't worry, Bosda. I'll alert the rest of the staff.

your humble TubaDiva

[Xploder]

Hey Tuba! Simulpost!

[SkipMagic]

Don't worry, Bosda. I'll alert the rest of the staff.

your humble TubaDiva
No time for that. First, we gotta find out why Bosda's not responding to my e-mails. Hurry!

[askeptic]

Didn't you read the OP, silly. He can't check Hotmail at work. Silly Moderator, tricks are for kids.

[Una Persson]

I looked outside this morning and saw a sqaudron of F-16's flying the "missing man" formation, and said to myself "Holy dogshit, I hope nothing happened with Bosda." Then I tried to mail him and...nothing.

Glad to know it was a false alarm.

[b]Bosda Goes Missing During Work Hours - World Nervous


[/Btsshewamf]



Meanwhile, in his underground lair...

Bosda: "Yes. Yes. Now that I have them lulled into a false sense of security, I can unleash my fiendish master plan!"

unwitting Dope[r]: "What plan is that, Boss? Hih? Huh? Huh?"

Bosda: "While they are all wollowing in their supposed safety from my e-mail replies, I carefully compile a list of cute kitten names..."

u D[r]: "Yeah!? Yeah!?"

B: "AND POST THEM IN THE WRONG FORUM!!!! BWA HA HA HA HA HA HA [snort]"

U D[r]: ".... um, ...yeah..."

B: "Don't you see what that will do?"

u D[r]: "Um, cause SkipMagic to move the thread wih a pithy little witticism?"

B: "No! It will cause SkipMa... Wait a minute. What did you just say?"

[Zebra]

This message is not from the real Bosda!


There is no sig line!


Who are you and what have you done with the real Bosda

[Weirddave]

But...but...How will I know what to do when confronted with a moral dilemma? I generally ask "What Would Bosda Do?".

[Morbo]

Couldn't you have just placed this OP in your AutoSig?

[Mtgman]

My e-mail addy is still valid, but new computer security prevents me from accessing Hotmail from work.LIKE FUCK IT DOES!

Only a fucking imbecile of a mod would believe this dumbass alibi!

Enjoy,

[elmwood]

Goddamit, where the hell is elmwood? I've been calling and calling and - oh. Never mind.

Sorry 'bout that. Should have turned on my voice mail. Don't concern yourself over me, though. Direct all your energy to worrying about our beloved Bosda Di'Chi of Tricor!

[Greathouse]

Couldn't you have just placed this OP in your AutoSig?


Oh man! That one rocks!

Could this please be made a sticky?

Your post saying you were headed to the bathroom was at 10:08 AM. Rufus Xavier raised the alarm and tried to find you at 10:10 AM. You finally answered at 1:38 PM. By my math that's about three and a half hours before you replied. Did everything come out ok?

Enjoy,
Steven

[NE Texan]

He was, no doubt, trying to follow gaucho's suggestion.

I don't think that's the way he meant it, though.

[Ashes, Ashes]

It's gonna be okay folks! School's out for summer and I'm gonna be here all day every day. I will fill all your attention whoring needs.




See? I'm good, no?

Oh, I don't know.....I find it adds a certain structure to my schedule.

Get up, two cups of coffee, cigarette, take dump, Bosda.

Egg salad on whole wheat, iced tea no sugar, Bosda.

Little black dress, cocktails and canapes, Bosda.

And, like Dr. Pepper, at ten, two, and four.

[dogbutler]

Couldn't you have just placed this OP in your AutoSig?

Something like this:



Bosda is

Will Bosda now sell his story for $500,000 ?

Has Bosda been back at all? My guess is he's wisely shunning this thread. :)

[elmwood]

Has Bosda been back at all? My guess is he's wisely shunning this thread. :)

Shunning? Maybe he really just did't get home yet. You heard what the man said - he MUST get home to read any admin/moderator messages. Not a library. Not work. Not a computer lab at school. Home, and home only will do. Surely for a Doper of his importance, you can wait patiently. When he does get home, I'm sure he'll tell us here.

[Xploder]

So has anyone seen him lately? Or is he STILL at work?

[Bosda Di'Chi of Tricor]

I thank you all, for you concern.

[yojimbo]

Good. We can all sleep now.

[Lord Ashtar]

Thank God. What a restless night.

[Greathouse]

Southerner.


You say that like it's a bad thing.

[Liberal]

I thank you all, for you concern.Since I had to ride a horse bareback and naked with Kevin Costner on account of you, I think you owe me a heap more thanks than that.

I've got a crisp, new $20 bill for him if he doesn't.

How much Creedence should we give that? :dubious:About 7/8. :p

[Kaotic Newtral]

Well, damnit! My oven timer just went off...I'm sending in troops but just in case they don't make it and I have to fight the oven-mitt Mano a Mano and don't make it, tell my daughter I love her!

[Ruby]

How much Creedence should we give that? :dubious:I just noticed that CCR (that's Creedence Clearwater Revival for you youngn's) has a new boxed set out. I wonder if Bosda has it? Because if he has it, then I'll have to have it...keeping up with the Jones's and all...

[EddyTeddyFreddy]

About 7/8. :p
You still have 78s? I have a few 33 1/3 discs hanging around, and a turntable to play them on. Never did get into eight-tracks, but there's a pile of old cassettes in the corner and






What?

Well, but Bosda said he'd sort them out for me when he got back! I've been that worried, you just can't imagine.

WAITING FOR BOSDA

ESTRAGON:
He should be here.
VLADIMIR:
He didn't say for sure he'd come.
ESTRAGON:
And if he doesn't come?
VLADIMIR:
We'll come back tomorrow.
ESTRAGON:
And then the day after tomorrow.
VLADIMIR:
Possibly.
ESTRAGON:
And so on.
VLADIMIR:
The point is—
ESTRAGON:
Until he comes.

Brethren, I say unto you that truly, Bosda is always with us. Even when there is only one set of footprints in the sand, he is there, silently posting intercessions with the Most High Administrators for you!

The news is broken to a stunned President Bush that Bosda cannot be reached. (http://www.cathappy.com/images/America%20photos/Bush%20911.jpg)





I gotta stay away from this thread, but it's so much goddam fun!

[EddyTeddyFreddy]

Meanwhile, volunteer search parties (http://www.humboldt.edu/~extended/olli/images/binoculars.jpg) have not yet given up hope that Bosda will be found alive and (mostly) unharmed.

[Tripler]

If you need me just send up the BatSignal© and I'll be there in five minutes. But without the tights and nubile sidekick.

Tripler
I can't say the same for Bosda: he's got a nubile sidekick.

[Batsinma Belfry]

Are y'all having fun beating that dead horse? Most've you wouldn't have known about Bosda's post, if it wasn't for that place I'm not allowed to mention.

[FinnAgain]

Actually, I think it'd be the multi-page Pit thread this spawned, which was threadspotted... rather than the tantamount-to-proscribed-conduct of finding things on the snark boards and then dragging them here. YMMV.

[Batsinma Belfry]

The idea for the pit thread started there. They were falling allover themselves trying to be the first one to start the pit thread.

[Rilchiam]

Why'n't you shut up about it, if you're not supposed to talk about it here?

[Batsinma Belfry]

That's almost as funny as a zillion posts of everybody repeating, "I wonder where Bosda is."

[NoClueBoy]

Try the decaf.

Really.

[sunfish]

The idea for the pit thread started there. They were falling allover themselves trying to be the first one to start the pit thread.
And you know the timing of events so clearly because you just know, not because you were monitoring The Other Place so closely, right? Right?

:rolleyes:

[FinnAgain]

If you're claiming that Greathouse got the idea from there, and was only posting here to stir up shit, then you should probably be emailing the mods/admins instead of hinting at it on the boards.

IANAM, YMMV, tacos are tasty.

[Batsinma Belfry]

Since someone was kind enough to give me a link, and I was finished reading about how ugly I am. Yes, I browsed around the other threads. I never claimed otherwise. They make glasses for this :rolleyes: .

I'm too stupid to hint. Don't accuse of me of being the type of person that would report someone to the mods. I just came in to ABTMB to post a question and was suprised to see this still going.

[Batsinma Belfry]

Oh, and what the hell does YMMV mean?

[sunfish]

FinnAgain isn't accusing you of anything. He's just suggesting that you follow the rules that the admins themselves have set up for handling potentially objectionable posts.

Frankly, I think Bosda painted a huge target on himself with the creation of this thread, and from the various admin/mod posts I've seen here and in the Pit they found it equally worthy of ridicule. No one needed to go elsewhere to get the idea to poke some fun.

YMMV = your mileage may vary. I'm surprised you didn't know that, since it's pretty commonly used here and you aren't a n00b. Just sayin'.

[Batsinma Belfry]

Yeah, I admit Bosda outdid himself this time.











Where is he anyway?

[EddyTeddyFreddy]

He turned on the Cloaking Device and now he can't find the switch to turn it off.

Hillbilly Queen has not posted here in 38 minutes. Since it's safe to assume she's a white woman, should we call out the National Guard and CNN, or wait a few more minutes?

[EddyTeddyFreddy]

If she's a bride-to be, CALL NOW! ALERT THE MEDIA!!!!

[elmwood]

My clock was wrong.

Anyhow, reading her name again, the adjective Hillbilly disassociates her with the middle- and upper-middle class. Therefore, she may not be worthy of our attention, or that of the media.

Sheeeeeeeit! Sorry elmwood, I don't know how that pesky 'my' slipped into there, I was not deliberately misquoting you. My apologies. Maybe a mod could be kind enough to fix it?

I had to go get my shovel. Sorry guys, for pooping in your sandbox.
I'll just leave the shovel here, incase Bosda's remains turn up.

[Bosda Di'Chi of Tricor]

I had been exchanging e-mails with a Mod/Admin.
The subject was rather urgent, and something that was important to me.
I didn't want to convey the impression that I wasn't intrested.

[faithfool]

Not only has this thread cracked me up, but I did want to comment on Bosda being a good sport. In this situation, it is an admirable thing to do with that grain of salt.

See, I figured it was something like that. But there was no way I was going to mention it. It was nice of the Mod/Admin to pop in and let everyone know. :rolleyes:

Bosda, you've been such a good sport. I could learn a few things from you. :)

[TubaDiva]

Speaking of dead horses, hillbilly queen, if you have a problem with people ON ANOTHER FRIGGIN' BOARD, you need to take it up with them and stop being tiresome about it here; we can't do anything about it here, you must know that.

Since all the fun has been beaten out of this, this thread is closed.
