Emergency Blogging System – No Runny Eggs

Another test

Emergency Blogging System — Tue, 13 May 2014 13:31:00 +0000

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated to test something else.

Fall back

Emergency Blogging System — Sun, 03 Nov 2013 13:21:12 +0000

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because Steve forgot to tell you this last night. This is not a drill – drills go Husky-Husky-Husky-Husky.

For those of you in the US (and not in those parts that don’t observe Daylight Saving), Daylight Saving Time ended at 2 am local time. If you have a WordPress blog (whether it is on WordPress.com or it is a WordPress stand-alone blog), and you had the time changed for Daylight Savings, you need to change it back to Standard Time (Central UTC -6, Mountain UTC -7, Eastern UTC -5, Pacific UTC -8, and check your clock for other locales). To do so, go into your wp-admin panel, select “Settings”, and under the “General Settings” page that pops up, select the right time zone. Don’t forget to hit “save” when you’re done.

Again, this is not a test. Had this been a test, you wouldn’t have been given official news, instructions or information. This concludes this broadcast of the Emergency Blogging System.

If you didn’t set your clocks back, the EBS has a message for you

Emergency Blogging System — Sun, 06 Nov 2011 14:04:11 +0000

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because Steve forgot to tell you this last night. Unlike the EAS activation set to interrupt Rush Limbaugh later this week, this is not a test.

For those of you in the US (and not in those parts that don’t observe Daylight Saving), Daylight Saving Time ended at 2 am local time. If you have a WordPress blog (whether it is on WordPress.com, a WordPress stand-alone, or WordPress MU – this includes Blogivists and Conservablogs), and you had the time changed for Daylight Savings, you need to change it back to Standard Time (Central UTC -6, Mountain UTC -7, Eastern UTC -5, Pacific UTC -8, and check your clock for other locales). To do so, go into your wp-admin panel, select “Settings”, and under the “General Settings” page that pops up, select the right time zone. Don’t forget to hit “save” when you’re done.

Again, this is not a test. Had this been a test, you wouldn’t have been given official news, instructions or information. This concludes this broadcast of the Emergency Blogging System.

June Drinking Right – 12-hour warning

Emergency Blogging System — Tue, 14 Jun 2011 12:00:39 +0000

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because you need a reason to drink.

The June edition of Drinking Right will be held tonight. As always, the fun is at Papa’s Social Club, 7718 W Burleigh in Milwaukee, and it begins at 7 pm. Come on down, have a few of your favorite beverage and some free pizza with the cream of the right side of the Milwaukee-area branch of the Cheddarsphere.

You have 12 hours to clear out your calendars, dump the tickets to Wrigley Field, and make sure you’re there for the warm-up to RightOnline. Don’t forget, we’ve got some deals for you, including packages that include transportation and hotel.

This concludes this activation of the Emergency Blogging System.

If it’s the second Sunday in March,…

Emergency Blogging System — Sun, 13 Mar 2011 13:13:07 +0000

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated just because it felt like self-activating.

That’s right, kids. You lost an hour this morning. If you still haven’t moved your clocks ahead an hour (and most-likely, if you have a WordPress-based blog, you haven’t), move them ahead one hour.

If you have a WordPress blog (whether it is on WordPress.com, a WordPress stand-alone, or WordPress MU – this includes Blogivists and Conservablogs), and you aren’t using UTC, you need to change it to Daylight Saving Time (Central UTC -5, Mountain UTC -6, Eastern UTC -4, Pacific UTC -7, and check your clock for other locales). To do so, go into your wp-admin panel, select “Settings”, and under the “General Settings” page that pops up, select the right time zone. Don’t forget to hit “save” when you’re done.

This concludes this activation of the Emergency Blogging System.

STF…er, SOTU Drunkblog alert

Emergency Blogging System — Tue, 25 Jan 2011 14:42:00 +0000

This is the Emergency Bogging System. It has been activated because it has come to Steve’s attention that some of you may have missed his “invite update” to Shoebox’s preview.

We will be drunkblogging the Shut The Fu.., er, State of the Union Bloviatio…er, speech. The thread itself will open up at 7:30 pm (if Steve fuc…er, fouled up the coding on the invite, just refresh the main blog page then to find the thread), with the drunkblogging kicking off at 7:45. Speaking of the invite, allow us to repeat it.

Warning; unlike the NewTone taken in this post, the expletives won’t be censored on the drunkblog.

This concludes this post by the Emergency Blogging System.

December Drinking Right – 12-hour warning

Emergency Blogging System — Tue, 14 Dec 2010 13:00:32 +0000

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because it is just too cold for Steve to blog.

The December edition of Drinking Right will commence at 19:00 (7 pm for those of you who don’t see the wisdom of a 24-hour clock) at Papa’s Social Club, 7718 W Burleigh in Milwaukee. Word on the street is that AFP New Media director Erik Telford will be dropping in.

Also, don’t forget about the Drinking Right Christmas Party on 1/2/2011 at noon. Because the Packers stink and there will be no playoff implications, the game will be at noon.

Don’t forget to set your clocks back

Emergency Blogging System — Sun, 07 Nov 2010 00:55:02 +0000

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because Steve is enjoying the extra hour tonight. This is not a test, though you can either pass or fail this situation.

For those of you in the US (and not in those parts that don’t observe Daylight Saving), Daylight Saving Time ends at 2 am local time tomorrow, 11/7/2010. If you have a WordPress blog (whether it is on WordPress.com, a WordPress stand-alone, or WordPress MU – this includes Blogivists and Conservablogs), and you had the time changed for Daylight Savings, you need to change it back to Standard Time (Central UTC -6, Mountain UTC -7, Eastern UTC -5, Pacific UTC -8, and check your clock for other locales). To do so, go into your wp-admin panel, select “Settings”, and under the “General Settings” page that pops up, select the right time zone. Don’t forget to hit “save” when you’re done.

Again, this is not a test. Had this been a test, you wouldn’t have been given official news, instructions or information. This concludes this broadcast of the Emergency Blogging System.

October Drinking Right – Half-hour warning

Emergency Blogging System — Tue, 12 Oct 2010 23:26:50 +0000

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because Steve is about to head to Papa’s Social Club, 7718 W Burleigh in Milwaukee, for the October edition of Drinking Right. He has it on good authority Republican state treasurer nominee Kurt Schuller will be there.

Your official news, information, and instructions are to get to Papa’s somewhere around 7. This concludes this posting of the Emergency Blogging System.

Primary Drinking Right – 12 hour warning

Emergency Blogging System — Tue, 14 Sep 2010 12:00:52 +0000

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because Steve is in line waiting to vote in the primary.

There may be 13 hours left to vote in Wisconsin’s primary today, but there are only 12 hours before Drinking Right. That’s right; even though it’s election day, it is the second Tuesday of the month. That means it’s Drinking Right Night over at Papa’s Social Club, 7718 W Burleigh in Milwaukee, starting at 7 pm. Come on down to the only place where spirits will be raised high no matter who wins.

These are official instructions, news and information. This concludes this broadcast of the Emergency Blogging System.

The quality of this place to improve the next 8 days

Emergency Blogging System — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 03:47:54 +0000

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because the AoSHQ-certified Moron™ who runs this place is off to fight the mosquitoes, walleye and smallmouth of the Boundary Waters. That means you’ll have Shoebox and the guest-bloggers classing this place up until either late on August 11 or sometime August 12.

Your offiical instructions are to have fun and don’t break this place. This concludes this activation of the Emergency Blogging System.

24-hour warning for the June Drinking Right

Emergency Blogging System — Mon, 07 Jun 2010 23:46:04 +0000

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because the second Tuesday of the month is as early as it gets.

Since tomorrow, June 8, is the second Tuesday of June, that means that it is the day of the June 2010 edition of Drinking Right. You are hereby instructed to be at Papa’s Social Club (7718 W. Burleigh in Milwaukee) at 19:00L (that’s 7 pm CDT) and tip a few of your favorite beverage(s) with some of the Milwaukee area’s best bloggers (and Steve).

March Drinking Right – 24-hour warning

Emergency Blogging System — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 01:00:51 +0000

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated to provide official news, instructions and information.

The March 2010 Drinking Right will commence in 24 hours over at the usual place (Papa’s Social Club, 7718 W. Burleigh in Milwaukee). You are hereby instructed to be there. Failure is not an option.

Now, repeat after the EBS – “I will be at Drinking Right Tuesday, March 9, 2010 at 7 pm.”

This has been the Emergency Blogging System.

Open Thread Thursday – the nuclear edition

Emergency Blogging System — Thu, 11 Feb 2010 15:16:55 +0000

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because the Iranians supposedly are “nuclear”. We’ll discuss that after we bring back one of the old Scramble songs…

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3wafLyT451o[/youtube]

The first thing to remember is that the Iranians have had a bit of a history of overstating technological achievements. However, given that the Mad Mullahs that run Iran see the US as the Great Satan and have vowed to extinguish both the US and Israel by every means available, it is prudent to treat the news as credible.

They claimed to have achieved 20% uranium-235 enrichment. That is far beyond what the typical reactor needs, though there are certain types of reactors that do use it, mostly Japanese- and Russian-design fast/breeder reactors. The Iranians claim to want to use it in a research reactor to produce medical isotopes; however, this appears to be the first time the existence of that “reactor” has been mentioned. Also, there are doubts on whether the Iranians can create fuel rods out of 20% ²³⁵U.

20% ²³⁵U enrichment also is significantly below the standard for nuclear weapons. However, it can be fashioned into a crude and huge weapon suitable for shipment in a transport container or cargo plane.

And now this thread is yours. This concludes the Emergency Broadcast System portion of this post.

Drinking Right officially postponed 1 week

Emergency Blogging System — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 20:05:01 +0000

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because for the first time in history, Drinking Right has been postponed due to the weather, with the main Drinking Right next week (aka Fat Tuesday and local non-partisan primary day). However, if one is ~~brave~~ stupid, Steve will still be at Papa’s somewhere around 7 tonight because he has a snow beast, and Nick might be there because he’s within walking distance.

This has been the Emergency Blogging System.

Drinking Right – We’re tougher than DC edition

Emergency Blogging System — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 13:18:58 +0000

This is the Emergency Blogging System. It has been activated because of the approaching Perfect Drinking Right Snowstorm.

Don’t let the storm that’s supposed to dump 14 inches of snow on Milwaukee between tonight and Wednesday morning stop you from enjoying the February edition of Drinking Right. After all, it won’t be 14 inches by 7 pm tomorrow, when DR starts. As always, we will be gathered at Papa’s Social Club, 7718 W Burleigh in Milwaukee.

This has been the Emergency Blogging System.

December Drinking Right – Oh the weather outside is frightful

Emergency Blogging System — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 01:00:17 +0000

PSA – set your clocks back

Emergency Blogging System — Sun, 01 Nov 2009 15:01:29 +0000

This is the Emergency Blogging System. This is not a test; a test has questions.

For those of you in the US (and not in those parts that don’t observe Daylight Savings), Daylight Savings Time ended at 2 am local time today. If you have a WordPress blog (whether it is on WordPress.com, a WordPress stand-alone, or WordPress MU – this includes Blogivists and Conservablogs), and you had the time changed for Daylight Savings, you need to change it back to Standard Time (Central UTC -6, Mountain UTC -7, Eastern UTC -5, Pacific UTC -8, and check your clock for other locales). To do so, go into your wp-admin panel, select “Settings”, and under the “General Settings” page that pops up, select the right time zone. Don’t forget to hit “save” when you’re done.

Again, this is not a test. Had this been a test, you wouldn’t have been given official news, instructions or information. This concludes this broadcast of the Emergency Blogging System.
