Hey, that monkey pooped in my coffee!

Pravda.RU Monkey poop makes the best coffee

Rich coffee lovers are going crazy for a new kind of coffee, made from the coffee beans that have been through the alimentary canal of the Indonesian monkeys.

Hey, it must be true! Pravda printed it!

I've actually heard of this stuff, but I thought that it had been rectally rectified by some variety of catlike creature.

(Apropos of nothing, does anyone else get every single email they send to jpoulos bounced back? Add me to your EmailLoveList if you have one, John!)

I did hear about it with the cats, but not the monkeys. And when I searched "monkey coffee poop" (google, forgive me) I didn't get much more reliable results. But the dancing monkey is cool!

We talked about this on the blue pages about, I don't know, six or eight months ago.

As far as my email goes, here's the deal: email sent to the admin@9622.net email address is redirected to both my home and work addresses (along with the addresses of the other admins). At work, we automatically bounce any incoming maili from hotmail accounts, because my boss is a dink who thinks the spam we avoid by doing that is worth the inconvenience it causes for others.

So if you send from hotmail, it won't make it to me at work, and you'll get a bounce notification. But it still makes it to my home address just fine, and I see it when I get home at night. This only affects hotmail users.

So my question for the group: is there a better way I can do this? I like getting the email at work, and most gets through ok. How can I let hotmail users know that I'm still getting their mail at home?

Errr...you are using hotmail, right stav? cuz if it's not that, it's probably the korea thang. either way, I get you mail at home just fine.

I'm sending email from my kornet.net address, but I get bounces when I send mail to you, flagged with the message :

mmmmmm.......we'll be flinging tonight!

Posted by: Kopi Luwak at July 10, 2002 09:53 AM

hmmm. They could be, but it's a .net domain. I could see if they were blocking all .kr (or whatever korea is) domains, but I doubt they're looking to see where .net's are originating. I'll have to look into it.

Jeez, you'd never know I was in the IT department, would you? :-)

Posted by: jpoulos at July 10, 2002 10:37 AM

I actually made a post about this over on the blue pages.

Icky, icky.

Just imagine the QA department at Kopi Luwak Inc.

"Here, get it to pass this jellybean....OK now eat it. Hmmm. Not good? Well damn, we really had a winner with that coffee bean thing...OK people listen up! Next up we have green beans, grapes and junior mints! Do I have any volunteers?!"

Skittles wouldn't be so bad, I think.

Posted by: jpoulos at July 10, 2002 01:04 PM

If a post on the blue pages is post here, does that make it a double?

If a tree falls and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound?

If someone kills a mime, does anyone care?

*imitates Bobcat Goldthwait in Shakes the Clown*

MIMES!!!

Posted by: adampsyche at July 10, 2002 01:17 PM

Double posts are not a crime at 9622.net.

Imitating Bob Goldthwait, however, is.

Kafkaesque! Fetch me my "learnin' stick"!

Posted by: jpoulos at July 10, 2002 01:32 PM

Sorry, I'm busy imitating that Funny Mouth Noises Guy from Police Academy.

Posted by: kafkaesque at July 10, 2002 01:43 PM

do you think there's a group of people who googles for monkey poop as often as 9622.net does?

Posted by: witchstone at July 10, 2002 02:03 PM

I'll bet the japanese do.
If there's a disturbing thing to do to women, they've thought of it first, the little monkeys.
There's probably a "monkey leftover kisses your naughty schoolgirl tonsils with much force" pornsite or two floating about.

Not that I'd know.

Will I go to hell because I always think it's that David Byrne record label? Or that it could be sung to the tune of "Louie, Louie"?

Good to the last dropping.

Good lord, Crash.
If that isn't the tagline to end all taglines, then I've never been rushed to the ER with something stuck in my exhaust.

Posted by: dong resin at July 11, 2002 12:51 AM

wait wait wait. we have two crashes now?

Posted by: witchstone at July 11, 2002 09:43 AM

Good lord, Mars.
If that isn't the tagline to end all taglines, then I've never been rushed to the ER with a subdural hematoma.

Get your rat poop coffee here

"Paradoxurus hermaphroditus"???

Hmm. I always heard it was real, too, but that's a pretty damn fake fake sounding classification, like "Coyoticus Hungrius" or something.

Tangentially, I'd like to start a company that makes little signs that say things like "UH-OH!" for you to hold up should you ever find yourself mid-air over a canyon, about to fall to your death.

I can't tell if he's smiling at me or just hyper caffinated.

Name your company "Acme", and you're golden.

jpoulos, How can I let hotmail users know that I'm still getting their mail at home?
you'll get a bounce notification

Put it on the front page, like a disclaimer.

Now I understand my problem when I first e-mailed you guys. I actually liked it, as, if your intentions were to screen, your mail. It fooled the sender. Yet this was not the case and I kept sending more e-mails which were answered by the different gods of the site, after the fact. Boy did I feel like a monkey. I feel for you, monkey as it's too bad your boss was not more acceptable to his understudy, anyways, give him a banana for me.

Well, someone's getting off to a good start...
