Sorry. It had to be done.

[KittyWampus]

26. Ditto!

[phrigndumass]

51. Looks like this might be a duplicate thread!

another pun

:dunce:

[DemzRock]

2. LOL!

Funny but I've worked with Xerox machines before and some of them are real turkeys.

[Renew Deal]

3. I'm sure they appreciate the free advertising.

Someone should lookup Xerox lobbyists and connections to Hillary's campaign. :evilgrin:

[islandmkl]

4. they are willing pawns to all the plagiarists of the world!!

[uppityperson]

5. Kleenex makes great tissues too!

[blogslut]

6. Leave Xerox Alone!!!11!!!1!!!

Seriously, they do make a nice machines. I am of a certain generation. The term "Xerox Machine" isa not foreign.

Then again, I can still remember the smell of mimeograph paper. :hi:

[madinmaryland]

9. OOOHHHH!!! The smell of freshly mimeographed paper.

Great way to take a test!

[blogslut]

13. I went to Ebay

There's a mimeograph machine there. Now I'm all wanting one!

[BOSSHOG]

21. What is your Avatar?

Part of jigsaw puzzle?

[tinymontgomery]

49. I think his avatar

is the state of Maryland.

[phrigndumass]

53. Glad to see I'm not the only one ...

(my handle seems to work on so many different levels)

My deepest apologies ...

:spank:

[BOSSHOG]

10. AAhhh! The old mimeograph machine

a nice stroll down memory lane. And our first "fax" machine which rolled the paper round and round, took about 20 minutes a page.

[blogslut]

15. I kind of miss the blue ink

:(

[Bake]

39. I miss the SMELL of the blue ink

I think it used to get us high.

Bake

[blogslut]

42. We sure thought so

I did make me dizzy. Wheee!

[iconoclastic cat]

7. I did not have sexual relations on that copier. nt

[yellowcanine]

11. "Let me be clear. That copier is not gay."

[madinmaryland]

19. and that copier has never been gay!!1!!

:rofl:

[yellowcanine]

23. Not that there is anything wrong with that!

:rofl:

[madinmaryland]

28. But my copier is making this strange tapping noise?

[yellowcanine]

31. Does it also have a wide stance?

[iconoclastic cat]

34. My scanner has forgiven me for my youthful indiscretion. nt

[madinmaryland]

37. Oops, Dupe.

[yellowcanine]

36. I just got a massage from that copier. That is all.

[iconoclastic cat]

45. And then I'm going to rub a falafel all over the keypad... nt

[bunnies]

8. sure.

But can they copy change?

[ronnykmarshall]

12. I'm a Ditto Machine fan m'self!

[yellowcanine]

29. But somehow I don't think "change you can mimeograph" works so well.

Not that "change you can xerox does either." She should fire the person who wrote that one.

[Bucky]

14. If anyone says "Xeroxgate" I'll scream

[scheming daemons]

17. "xeroxgate". Ok... let's hear that scream...

[Bucky]

32. "And we're going on to New Hampshire! And to Idaho!! And to Texas!!! And to Nebraska!!!!

YEEEAAAAAHHHH!!!






(is that okay?)

[underpants]

16. Xerox is actually very picky about heir name being used like that

Just saying

[IDemo]

18. What's a copier? You mean like a mimeograph machine?

:)

[islandmkl]

20. why does 'X' sound like 'Z'????

at the front, but 'KS' at the end???

[madinmaryland]

25. Hey!

Ecks-er-ocks ROCKS!!1!!

[Catherine Vincent]

43. And some X's have no sound....as in Boudreaux. :)

[dysfunctional press]

22. didn't they also create the graphic user interface...?

that apple and then microsoft both pirated?

[madinmaryland]

27. That's too gooey for me!

[KittyWampus]

30. is that true? Man, Technological Piracy. Who will play Bill Gates in the movie?

[dysfunctional press]

35. how about anthony michael hall...?

[Tesha]

59. Apple licensed the basic "Star" GUI technology from Xerox. (NT)

[Virginia Dare]

24. I think it was one of the worst inventions known to mankind..

along with the automobile.

[Bake]

41. Which one? I'm confused ...

the Xerox machine, the GUI interface? Something else?

Bake

[Major Hogwash]

33. What's their slogan?

I haven't seen a Xerox commerical for a long time. I can't even remember it.

More importantly, will this revive Rob Schneider's career?

[yellowcanine]

38. This is really lounge material, not GD-P.

Just sayin.

[Bake]

40. Yeah, because GD/P is on such a higher plane than the Lounge ...

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Bake

[iconoclastic cat]

47. Exactly! nt

[yellowcanine]

54. Which will never change if the people here don't change it. It is our forum.

I mean really and I am serious. People have to police themselves a little, not expect the moderators to do everything. Attitudes like yours perpetuate the coarseness.

[Bake]

58. Like MINE? Really??

I've been here since 2001, by the way -- longer than you. So I know a thing or two about GD, GD/P, and the Lounge. All I did was inject a teensy bit of humor, and in a thread that was already a bit cheeky. What's eating up the forum here is all the venom. And judging from your response, you've got plenty of that on tap.

Lighten up. It's an interwebs discussion board. It's not changing the world. Xeroxable or not.

Bake

[WritingIsMyReligion]

55. GD:P is the Lounge for sleepless, rabid political partisans.

:evilgrin:

[AlCzervik]

44. First they came for Xerox and i did nothing....

[TheDonkey]

57. lol

[HeraldSquare212]

46. And they paid big bucks for the product placement, too.

[AlertLurker]

48. They are also responsible for the GUI. XeroxParc rocked the '80s.

[Bake]

52. Yeah, but so did the Hair Bands.

So that's not saying much.

Bake

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

50. copy that.

[Johnny__Motown]

56. Making fun of using the word as a verb, not the company itself. (very 1987)
