The Litany Against Peer.

[flewellyn]

I must have Dune on the brain or something...this just popped into my head:

I must not peer.
Peer is the link-killer.
Peer is the little lag that brings total disconnection.
I will ping my peer.
I will route it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has ACKed I will tune the firewall to see its path.
Where the SYN has gone there will be nothing.
Only packets will remain.


...yeah, I don't know either.

Flewball?

Is it anything like calvinball?

Or the flu?

On the MUD I play on sometimes, they have a command called "punt", which when used on someone of "immortal" level (which requires that you play the game for a good while, and do enough quests), randomly relocates that person to another part of the game world. Depending on the recipient's feelings about being punted, this could be all in good fun, or it could be irritating or angering. Some people will punt you if you make a particularly bad joke (which I do a lot), or otherwise just for fun.

Me, I'm pretty chill about the whole punting thing, most of the time. I even made up rules for a game called "Flewball", where people would punt me around, in a competition to see who could get me the farthest from my starting point, which was my house in the rough center of the world map. This will often result in me ending up in strange places that I've never gone to before, and it's good fun for all.
