New Polyamory group over at Live Journal

Having grown sick and tired of watching (and suffering) the abuse in the polyamory group over at Live Jornal, I decided to setup an alternative. http://community.livejournal.com/poly_support is the new community I've setup. If you're interested in Polyamory, please come check it out.

Note to LJ readers - I'm posting this several places, which is why it doesn't use LJ specific tags...

Porter Arrows

So, I used to run the helpdesk at work, and like most helpdesk people, I delt with mind-numbing stupidity on an hourly basis. One such memorable ticket, said "there are arrows in the porter" and nothing else. That was it! Just "there are arrows in the porter". I had visions of some poor dead bellhop, a mad archer dancing across the roof tops, merrily laughing at his latest kill.

So, we have an internal application that the reps use called "portal". After thinkking our our dear mad archer, I replied back, "Do you mean, 'Portal'?"

"Yes!" Came the indignant reply. The nerve, asking for some kind of confirmation, I guess.

So, this became short hand. Whenever I had to hand someone something really, obnoxiously stupid, I'd warn them first, "Dude - porter arrows." That way, they'd know...

To all my friends who actually have artistic talent,

To all my friends who actually have artistic talent, can someone please
draw me a stick figure in a bell hop uniform (ya know, the pill box type
hat, and jacket), pinned to a wall by several arrows sticking out of his
arms and chest, with X's for eyes, and blood dripping from the arrow
holes sticking out of him? If you've ever played Kingdom of Loathing,
that style of stick figure is what I'm looking for. (see
http://www.kingdomofloathing.com/) The text beneath it should read,
"Porter Arrows".

I need it for the wiki at work.
