Folks, are your children bored, lazy, and soft?
Do they lay around all day playing on their video games or hanging around on the internet?
Are you worried that the youths of today are incapable of defending themselves against the onslaught of the Lutheran Millenium?
Will your child be incapable of hunting hobos, because they lack the necessary basic skills?
Do you fear that your children may wind up dressing up in superhero costumes when they are adults, being a fan of Ohio State, posting pictures of themselves when they were eight years old and still wearing pajamas with feet, or bragging about playing a game called “Cornhole”?
Do you fear they will be hanging around late at night with other people from around the country giving dating advice to a poor lad who was foolish naive enough to ask people who frequent Commenting Sites for dating advice?
Well, do I have the solution for you!
Meet Camp Okutta, an adventure camp for kids!
All that needs to be said about the wonders of this camp can be found in this promotional video.
After attending Camp Okutta, your child will be an ass-kicker, or your money back.

Forget the kids; I want to go.
“At the end of the day, it’s the round in your foot you take home with you.” I’d go with Harrison. But he’s got to stay in front of me at all times.
I got a question for yous guys.
Hubby and I have a new business venture, and we need to get some more work rolling in.
I guess we need a website and for somebody to help get it on the Intergoogle.
How do we do this? If anyone has a good trustworthy source of info. or can recommend a service, please email me.
I don’t know from nothing on how to do this stuff.

remove dashes and asterisk, yadda yadda….
S. Weasel would be a good resource for you I think. I ax her.
Yes, she’s a girl.
I could use that video for Camp Geezer. Just need to change the first few seconds and I’m good to go.
We don’t have a mindfield, just a field where you can twist your ankle in a gopher hole.
Death to All Rodents!
(except cute, lovable buttered ferrets)

“It is quite unusual for someone to find a grenade in their backyard, especially one that hasn’t been spent,”
Unusual? I think it’d be AWESOME!!11!!
I have had a little experience doing (simple) websites.
Here’s one I did for Skinbad’s next home.
http://utahmountainforsale.com
Yeah, I’m the WebPageDoc.
Maybe we should have the next IB gathering, after The Texas Version, at Skinbad’s new house.
If everyone who posts here will forward their monthly paychecks to me, I’ll see if I can make an offer on the helipad.
LW, I know someone who is happy with Yahoo’s small business hosting/site creation offerings.
http://smallbusiness.yahoo.com/webhosting/
Awesome! Thanks for the tips, guys.
Now; how do I get hubby to go along with my domain name suggestions?
^ummm…..
Do you need to ask?
Geezer,
that Utah Mountain property, do you have a rough idea of the price? I am just curious, I don’t have two spare pennies to rub together.
>>Now; how do I get hubby to go along with my domain name suggestions?
humpmyhump.com. He would love it.
hmm 8.3 Million asking. Some people have all the money. I am not among them.
^lemme check under the seat in my car.

Looks like a good place to hole up when the zombies come.
Does BrewFan do any websites? I’ve done 3 business sites, but I definitely wouldn’t recommend myself – I have no eye for graphic design, and I haven’t graduated to Javascript.
Asking S. Weasel is a good idea.
Yes! S. Weasel is teh awesomeness!
Forget the kids; I want to go.
I could swear that I saw the little girl carrying the folding-stock AK near the end of the video walking around with her finger on the trigger.
That’s a major safety violation, and it should earn her AT LEAST two days in the sweatbox, IMHO.
^or walking through the minefield.
Russ, you would have wigged out at our SOP in the old days. Finger on the trigger, thumb on the safety.
Eddie, why is that child of yours not digging holes in the backyard, refilling them, and then digging again?
What kind of a dad are you?
23: she does enjoy helping me plant our petunias. Her most fun is playing with the top soil.
She also has the true spirit of things when she sees a squirrel in the yard and says, “stupid squirrels are pulling up our flowers.”
She also loves to play with a dump truck full of dirt, and help me pull weeds.
Ha! The last thing lauraw needs is a moron designing her website. Not with, like, shopping carts and databases and stuff.
You need to find yourself a real outfit and pay them real money to do it right. And then staple their nutsacks to their upper thighs if they don’t make you happy.
*inadvertent flinching here*
Not with, like, shopping carts and databases and stuff.
I don’t think that’ll be necessary for her business. It’s more like a professional presence with easy contact info.
Oh. I thought they were actually going to sell things.
Ahem.
So, Eddie, you iron and plant the flowers.
What does your wife do around the house?
It’s more like a professional presence with easy contact info.
Like an Escort Service?
Not that I iron – the dry cleaner does that.
Or scrub the floors — the Scooba does that.
Just being nosy.
Yeah, it’s really just advertising content, contact info, a web “presence”.
Well, that I could do. But I still say you’re better off not working with somebody you know — even if you just pretend internet know them. That way, you feelier comfier saying, “wow — that really sucks. Do it again.”
Though my other half wasn’t shy about it. When I designed his business cards, he was like, “I really hate that.” O, those Brits and their subtlety and nuance.
No biggie, guys.
We’re not looking for something glitzy, just basic stuff we can probably do ourselves. Unless we can’t, because we’re too stupid.
So we’re going to first check and see if we’re too stupid, then get in a huddle and see what to
drool ondo next.I’m also trying to convey to him how absolutely right I am about the domain name, and it’s slow going.
Lean into it when you fire those weapons, ya little rugrats!!
Feh. Buy it anyway. Domain names are cheap. They’re also a little addictive. I have several that are currently not doing anything, but I can’t bear to part with them.
You can point more than one address to the same site, if you want to try yours and his and see which one gets more hits. We can even help you put your thumb on the scale there. Nothing like a moron army on your side, if you don’t mind smells.
Anyhoo, free advice if you get stuck on your HTML or CSS or anything. That I’ll offer without reservation.
It needed more bayonett training.
As for my wife, she does do a lot around the house. I just do a lot of my own yard work, clothes maintenance, cleaning, cooking, and the like, since I have a personality where I have to be doing something, or I go crazy. I also am not big on having other people do stuff I am capable of doing.
I don’t know if that is right or not. But it’s just the way I am.

M. M-hm. Hmp hee hee…(ahem)
*cough* S’cuse me.
baaa ha ha haaaaa
MWAAAA HAA HAA HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
*cough cough*
Thank you for your excellent offer of assistance, dear. Shall have to wrangle with the ethical ramifications, of course.
But it’s just the way I am.
NTTAWWT
The ethical…? Oh, crap — have I been indicted for something? Because, I’ll tell you right now, everybody in the neighborhood knows that german shepherd is a damn liar.
I don’t know if that is right or not. But it’s just the way I am.
That’s what’s great about being married to a man with service experience. They’re so much neater.
lauraw, start here. The basic stuff is all free and at the very least it will let you dip your toe in the water.
let you dip your toe in the water
Heck, you can do that here too.
Lips:
I’m normally not that neat; usually, I’m a wreck.
But, some things just get to me.
Shall have to wrangle with the ethical ramifications, of course.
Perhaps I can help, being that I am the resident Lutheran here.
*Michael consults the Book of Concord.
Here’s my conclusion: Cheat, but make it up to him by giving him a . . . well, you know what.
Give him a casserole?
Lutefisk?
Jello?
Hot Cross Buns?
Hahahaha!
Smack on the back of the head with a wooden spoon?
That’s what LauraW gave me after she escaped from the catacomb prison under my house, and I took it as a sign of affection.
…stern lecture?
…hump job?
…purple nurple?
…a pleasant smile and a nice meal once in a while, for Christ’s sake?
Oh you monkeys. I’m going to pinch you all. Stand still, everybody’s getting a pinch.
Except Michael, whose interpretation from that religious text is highly suspect. Is that thing supposed to have an etching of a mirrored disco ball on the front cover?
Brewfan, thanks for that link!
