International fame for DonationCoder?
« on: April 01, 2008, 04:03 AM »
Did anyone read a report in the 'Computer Affairs' section of the U.K. Press where it mentions DonationCoder?  Is it true that mouser is being considered for inclusion in 'a select group of global entrepreneurs and innovators' who will be invited to attend Prince Charles' international web-reach seminar this summer?

Rumours circulating around about some security clearance issues. Nothing confirmed yet. Let's have our fingers crossed for mouser.

I can now reveal that Cody himself was knighted "sir bird" by prince Charles.  The ceremony took place in the austere environs of Buckingham Palace.

A minor international flap occured when after being knighted, Cody proceeded to rob the place of a massive collection of British coin pound coins. I understand the coin is his favorite coin in the world, treasured for its wonderful feel in the hand or beak.

Unfortunately our beloved Cody is now on the run from the law.

I am requesting that all loyal DC members prepare a nest and place it in a shaded area of your yard or apartment (leave window open) for Cody to hide out in.

Tell Cody to drop the loot off at my house.  I will protect his booty and give it all back whenever he asks.  Trust me on this.

A minor international flap occured

"Flap"! That's the best part of the whole joke!

It was far too obvious, wasn't it? 
Especially to the bunch of sharpies who hang out here  :Thmbsup:
