They thought it good community service to mount their signs on top of a large decorative fountain. In short order, though, they always got infected with the Goodtimes virus in the form of laundry detergent in the fountain--usually carried by some teenage punk.</p> <p>Then someone thought of adding Rit Dye--royal blue.</p> <p>Crown drained the water after that. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/10045#post-250713 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 04:01:04 +0000 Renee in Arkansas 250713@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Deb, the fish might think the water tastes a little funny! lol </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/10045#post-250712 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 03:58:31 +0000 Renee in Arkansas 250712@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Hmm, new meaning to the saying, "watch it wiggle, see it shimmer"!<br /> Kitties would say "cool", new toys to play with! :) Interesting treats too for the kitties. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/10045#post-250710 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 03:52:40 +0000 jcat 250710@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>*Laughs hysterically for several moments.* ROTFLAO, Renee, wouldn't the kitties love that, goldfish in jelly... lol. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/10045#post-250709 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 03:50:16 +0000 AZDEBRA 5/27 & crew 250709@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>lol, the fish would probably wonder about the jello and the swimming in it. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/10045#post-250707 Tue, 30 Sep 2008 03:45:32 +0000 Renee in Arkansas 250707@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Could be worse, instead of adding kool-aid to the aquarium, it could be jello! lol </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/10045#post-250671 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 23:31:07 +0000 Instinct 250671@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>Goodtimes power is such that it would move a dog and an aquarium in first, then kick the dog and add kool-aid to the aquarium.</p> <p>This is the evil of goodtimes </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/10045#post-250655 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 22:18:27 +0000 petpntr 250655@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I give up.

That is one BAD virus. ;) </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/10045#post-250622 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 20:01:22 +0000 Instinct 250622@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>No, not me, I started the cheese thread and that is more than enough for one man to add to the world.</p> <p>But I do like the Goodtimes virus:</p> <p> Goodtimes will re-write your hard drive. Not only that, but<br /> it will scramble any disks that are even close to your computer. It<br /> will recalibrate your refrigerator's coolness setting so all your ice<br /> cream goes melty. It will demagnetize the strips on all your credit<br /> cards, screw up the tracking on your television and use subspace field<br /> harmonics to scratch any CD's you try to play.</p> <p> It will give your ex-girlfriend your new phone number. It<br /> will mix Kool-aid into your fishtank. It will drink all your beer and<br /> leave its socks out on the coffee table when there's company coming<br /> over. It will put a dead kitten in the back pocket of your good suit<br /> pants and hide your car keys when you are late for work.</p> <p> Goodtimes will make you fall in love with a penguin. It will<br /> give you nightmares about circus midgets. It will pour sugar in your<br /> gas tank and shave off both your eyebrows while dating your<br /> girlfriend behind your back and billing the dinner and hotel room to<br /> your Discover card.</p> <p> It will seduce your grandmother. It does not matter if she<br /> is dead, such is the power of Goodtimes, it reaches out beyond the<br /> grave to sully those things we hold most dear.</p> <p> It moves your car randomly around parking lots so you can't<br /> find it. It will kick your dog. It will leave libidinous messages on<br /> your boss's voice mail in your voice! It is insidious and subtle. It<br /> is dangerous and terrifying to behold. It is also a rather<br /> interesting shade of mauve.</p> <p> Goodtimes will give you Dutch Elm disease. It will leave the<br /> toilet seat up. It will make a batch of Methanphedime in your bathtub<br /> and then leave bacon cooking on the stove while it goes out to chase<br /> grade schoolers with your new snowblower.</p> <p>******* WARN AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN. *******</p> <p>And if you don't send this to 5000 people in 20 seconds, you'll fart<br /> so hard that your right leg will spasm and shoot straight out in<br /> front of you, sending sparks that will ignite the person nearest you.</p> <p>Send this warning to everyone.</p> <p>If you are a blonde, this is a joke!!! </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/10045#post-250611 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:33:35 +0000 petpntr 250611@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I felt they were kind of contradicting the purpose for the warning by adding that information where they did. It does say the "Postcard virus is real" so who the heck wants to take any chances whether it is going to do a huge amount of damage or only a little damage. So does that mean that if CNN didn't say it was the worse virus in history it isn't as destructive. I'm not questioning what you are saying KN I just think whoever posted that information on Snopes put it is a place which can confuse people. Well.........me anyway. </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/10045#post-250610 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:24:30 +0000 gatakitty 250610@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I think that Instinct is behind this ;D </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/10045#post-250608 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:19:33 +0000 TheKnittingNinja 250608@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>you know at the end of the snopes article it says that this is not a big virus and it will not burn out your whole hard drive. Oh and that CNN did not call it the most destructive virus ever.<br /> But it is a real virus </p> http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/topic/10045#post-250600 Mon, 29 Sep 2008 19:10:29 +0000 petpntr 250600@http://www.dailykitten.com/chat/ <p>I personally checked this out and it is real.
