laidback.org login banners
The laidback.org login banners are a little bit like fortune cookies.
They are usually useless, funny, and often confusing if you don't know
the joke. For example, the general comment about the Finnish Girls
was "Eh?"
You had to be there.
Previously on Port 23....
laidback.org got quoted in a white paper about login banners?
How very strange!

If it's broke,
fix it.
We're not here yet. Go away.
Laidback.org: for people that don't watch football.
Laidback.org doesn't sponsor Big Brother.
And Jesus said unto them, "And whom do you say that I am?"
They replied, "You are the eschatological manifestation of the

One day, this monkey walked over to me and said "Hey, is that your hat on
that lamp po" ...oh, no. That's not right. The monkey said "Hey, look,

Annoying observation #412:
If someone contacts you, offering a job, they are quite willing to
tell you it's an ideal job opportunity for you, until you ask them
a technical question. They will then announce that they will have
to see a copy of your CV before they will discuss anything else.
It remains, however, a job offer you shouldn't turn down.
Hmmm... Finnish girls...
"...what *did* we do with the
drunken sailor?"
"I know it looks like it *shouldn't*
work, but it does ..."
Watch out - the ground is icy, if
