Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: Bobert Date: 22 Aug 05 - 08:14 AM Hey, I didn't say who the winner was... Only that we had one so not so fast grabin' prizes folks... |
Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: Wilfried Schaum Date: 22 Aug 05 - 08:15 AM Congratulations, Giok - unkilted but exceptionally good! Wilfried |
Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: John MacKenzie Date: 22 Aug 05 - 08:20 AM That was my thought too Bobert you didn't say who won, nor did I who as a precaution just put Yaaay, and not Yaaay I won, I've been caught out like that before. Giok ¦¬] |
Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: Bobert Date: 22 Aug 05 - 08:24 AM No, no, no... Giok is not the winner.... There must be some wirin' situation in JennyO's thinkerator because yes, this makes twicfwe3 that she and I see the same thing: it is an airplane comin' atcha... Seein' as she's allready in the midst of enjoyin' her last batch of prizes, Prize Central will hold off awarding here new ones... We don't want to choke the gal in prizes... CONGRATZ JENNYO (Sorry, Giok, but them was mighty fine guess but, sniff, not the one that was in the Bobert brainerator...) Bobert |

Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: JennyO Date: 22 Aug 05 - 10:14 AM Good grief - me again! I looked in earlier and thought Giok had got it. Well I must say I've been enjoying that peace you awarded me last time, although some folks I know don't seem to be aware that they aren't s'posed to be buggin' me. I reckon I'll be just about ready for the new batch of prizes in a coupla days. There must be some wirin' situation in JennyO's thinkerator because yes, this makes twicfwe3 that she and I see the same thing I wuz wonderin' Bobert - do ya think this is somethin' I should be worried about? :-) WHOOOOOOEEEEEEEEE! Life is good!! |
Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: Amos Date: 22 Aug 05 - 10:31 AM Ya know, I am sorry, but I don't think it looks much like a plane coming at you. Planes' wings don't curve like that. Cockpits don't have pointy peaks on them. I am afraid this Rorschach game of Bobert's is rigged. A |
Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: MudGuard Date: 22 Aug 05 - 12:59 PM Giok, you are a liar! You have won something - I have witnessed it myself - in May in Niort! |

Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: Ebbie Date: 22 Aug 05 - 01:28 PM Bobert, we don't give up that easy. I just deciphered that it's someone lying on her belly - with a tummy tuck. I agree with Amos- thet's a maghty strange airoplane, Bobert. |
Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: JennyO Date: 22 Aug 05 - 01:40 PM Well, Bobert, seems like folks think we both got strangely wired thinkerators. Oh well........ |

Yeah, go makin' paper airplanes all night long... Ahhhhh, how'd you make that circle wid a line thru it, Cluin??? That's purdy cool... Must be some hotmail graphics... But, keep guessin'... Bobert |
Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: open mike Date: 23 Aug 05 - 01:19 AM | ---Ø--- / \ o o the o with a line thru it is made by holding down the alt key and typing the numbers 0216, then letting the alt key up.but i think * makes a better propeller, come to think of it. |

Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: GUEST,leeneia Date: 23 Aug 05 - 03:36 PM re " the o with a line thru it is made by holding down the alt key and typing the numbers 0216," Where does one learn these things? Can you tell me how to type a German umlaut (double quotation mark over a vowel)? I still think the Bobert's drawing is of Groucho Marx's glasses. I'm also eagerly waiting to hear what the prize is. |
Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: MudGuard Date: 23 Aug 05 - 03:49 PM Can you tell me how to type a German umlaut That's easy: just press the key that has the umlaut printed on it ;-) |
Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: GUEST Date: 23 Aug 05 - 04:23 PM If you use microsoft Word, there is an 'Insert' to click on, which then lets you click on 'Symbol', and lots of letters appear with lots of different accents already on them as well as Greek and Russian letters. when you have composed your message using these you can paste it into the message for posting on mudcat. There may be an easier way, but that's the one I've discovered. |
Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: GUEST, topsie Date: 23 Aug 05 - 04:32 PM I thought it reminded me of Groucho as well - it's the way the eyebrows are sticking out the sides. |
Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: Cluin Date: 23 Aug 05 - 06:28 PM If you use Windows, go to Start/Programs/Accessories/System Tools/Character Map. That will give you the Alt codes for any of the extended character set for the font in question. |

Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: John MacKenzie Date: 25 Aug 05 - 04:11 AM Alt 0252= ü then there's © æ More fun to hold down the Alt key select 4 numbers at random, and see what comes out. G.. |
Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: Cluin Date: 25 Aug 05 - 04:11 AM Bottom right corner gives the ALT+ 4 digit keystroke for any character you highlight. |
Subject: RE: BS: ~o^o~ From: SingsIrish Songs Date: 25 Aug 05 - 07:04 AM Just experimenting.... ALT + 1 thru 20 gave me these... ☺ ☻ ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ • ◘ ○ ◙ ♂ ♀ ♪ ♫ ☼ ► ◄ ↕ ‼ ¶ I've actually used ALT + 3 digit numbers for other characters and accented letters... ALT 155 = ¢ ALT 156 = £ ALT 171 = ½ ALT 130 = é (also ALT 1410 = é) This is fun! but what do I know, computerphobic as I am. LOL These "puzzles" are quite interesting...it took me a while to figure out what you all were doing. Might get brave and give a guess sometime. Keep up the fun. Mary |

Edmund would never get you court-martialled, Giok -- he's on the Defence side. Just don't call us collect when the Redcaps drag you away. |
