All that it's doing is recording that someone from Canada using Internet Explorer has been on their page for an hour.

It's completely harmless and any joe with a web page can do it.

Hm... didn't something like that happen with the google toolbar???

Look at the abuse I put up with from everybody... I think I need a hug.

Matt Enns: 'Take that f**king helmet off and don't wear it ever again!'
Shaun Maclean: 'Purple skis... haha!'
Jeff Thomas: 'Shutup ya little freak, I'm gonna rape you more than you'd want to screw Britney Spears. WTF did you do to my truck???'

Good friends tell you about the time they nailed that broad....BEST friends reach over, tag your hand, and say 'YOUR TURN'


The most unfair thing about life is the way it ends. I think the life cycle is all backwards. You should die first, get that out of the way, then go live in an old folks home, then you should get kicked out for being too healthy, go collect your pension, then on your first day at work you should get a gold watch. You work 40 years until you are young enough to enjoy your retirement, you go drinking and partying, then get ready for high school. You go to elementary school, become a kid, you play, you have no responsiblities, you become a little baby, you go back and spend your last 9 months floating around in a spa and then you finish up as an orgasm!
