Child calls his scrotum poo-bag

Child calls his scrotum poo-bag

DERWENT – A five year old boy came forward yesterday to tell the press that he believed his scrotum was in fact a bag carrying his excrement.

Byron Awes said he was not totally responsible because his mother had told him earlier that the scrotum on dogs were called “poo-bags”.

“I asked Mummy what them things hanging between the dog’s legs was,” Byron said. “And Mummy she said they was the dog’s poo-bags.”

His mother, Deanne Dawes confirmed that she had told the boy that dog’s scrotums were poo-bags.

“He kept grabbing our dog’s scrotum and asking ‘what’s this Mummy, what’s this’,” Mrs Dawes said. “I just didn’t want him handling the dog’s scrotum or fondling its testicles.”

Mrs Dawes said she realised the decision she took caused complications later.

“He would run up to me and show me his testicles and say look Mummy I need to do a poo, got poos in my bag,” Mrs Dawes said. “When he did it in Target it was very embarrassing.”

Fixing Photoshop CS crashes…

I don’t have issues with photoshop too often, but when I do, 85% of the time the problem is resolved by trashing the preference file. Some common problems of a bad pref file:

Among the clues that the Preferences file has gone bad are:

* Freezes and crashes.
* Unusual tool behavior.
* Menu commands unexpectedly not available.
* Missing or blacked-out icons in the Toolbox.
* Unusual colors for interface items.

It’s located here:

* Mac OS X: Users> [username]> Library> Preferences> Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Settings
* Mac OS 9: System Folder> Preferences> Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Settings
* Windows XP and Windows 2000: Documents and Settings\\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\7.0\Adobe Photoshop 7.0 Settings (see figure 3)
* Windows NT: WinNT\profiles\\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\7.0\Adobe Photoshop 7 Settings
* Windows 98: Windows\Application Data\Adobe\Photoshop\7.0\Adobe Photoshop 7 Settings

WoW chat problems?

June 8th, 2005 danielchoe Comments off

I was having a funky problem with WoW where I could not see people messages during game play. Well here is a fix that worked for me.

Goto your warcraft folder, for me its located c:\program files\world of warcraft\

Then goto a folder called: WTF

Then: Account

Then: “Your account name”

then delete a file called chat-cache.txt

That should fix your problem.

Here is the full directory listing where the file is located: C:\Program Files\World of Warcraft\WTF\Account\BONASSES\Bonasses\

If you guys ever come the LLane realm come and say hi to bonasses =)
