across this description:
Bork Bork Bork! 0.8
By Anthony Howe

View web pages or mail as spoken by the Swedish Chef.

This version now supports both Firefox and Thunderbird. In Thunderbird any
message which is marked as junk is automatically "borked". Sort of like
Total Peril Sensitive Sunglasses for spam. Tested on Fx 1.0.3 and Tb 1.0.2.
See CHANGES.TXT in chrome/bork.jar for details.

I run Thunderbird and Firefox and have done since before they reached 1.0.
It was the actual extension I was referring to... Bork?

A long time ago, probably many years before you were born, there was a
program on the television called:

The Muppet Show.

Had Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and a bunch'o'other muppets.

One of them was the Swedish Chef.

The Swedish Chef had a particular manner of speaking, and also a
"kinda" theme song which he "kinda" sang whilst bashing things about
in his Swedish Kitchen. This song had the final line:

"bork bork bork"

The rest can probably found with suitable google-fu[1].

HTH HANDA!

Is it ready? Medal coming up...

It is with great glory I can reward you with this medal. Since times
long forgotten for most people, John struggled through times harder
than people will believe nowadays. Now we acknowledge the great act it
was to run Thunderbird and Firefox since before reaching version 1.0.

Please accept this humble medal as an appreciation of the great act,
you've done:

Uhm, that's a Danish 20 kroner coin on top of some string, isn't it? :-)

Ah, I got busted. Yes it is a 10kr. But I still chose it because it
was a real fine specimen and well suited for a medal.

What do you mean? I will die surrounded by pet snakes. They will die
trying to swallow my carcass when they run out of mice. No wait, the
mice should be too intelligent to be eaten. Then - oh rats! I got lost

I must try those one day. It isn't exactly bacon but sounds good.

I use Thunderbird and Safari. As far as I'm concerned,
anything is better than IE (including Firefox). I don't
even need to try them out to find out. I'm opposed to
that borg^H^H^H^Hcompany up in Washington State.

I use gnus and firefox mostly. Once in a while lynx, links, pine and
more come in handy.

IE is not available on the platforms I use, so I simply seldomly use
them because I can't. I am not *that* opposed the the - ehm - borg...

Wait, this got all too serious...

Anyway, I don't hate them. Still I think I will revolt.

Er... I don't understand. How does this thread definitely prove that
Firefox is better than IE?

The answer that can be explained is not the real answer.

6/9: I spent the evening working the crowd at the
Goldfinger and Caesars free concert in St. James Park.
We had an unexpected break when so many people got on
the stage that some stuff broke and the sound system
went dead. Despite it all, the show was simply great.

Very deep. You should send that in to the Reader's Digest. They have a
