ALL ONLINE DATA LOST AFTER INTERNET CRASH!!

I was sent this YouTube Video by Steve Zehngut and tried, but could not resist posting here. That's right, it has no redeeming value apart from humor. I laughed so hard my stomach cramped up. So, this is either as funny as I think it is or a sure sign I need to start working out again. Either way, you're getting it. "Perhaps even harder hit was America's blogging community... " Simply hilarious.

Enjoy! And I'll see some of you in San Francisco!

I laughed out loud (couldn't help myself) when Tony Snow was quoted as saying they didn't have a back up but they were always meaning to get around to it.  What a hoot! I feel like control alt deleting myself.... Thanks for the laugh!

07/31/2007 12:18 AM by Central Texas Real Estate Jeannette Morrison (Keller williams Realty)

OMG!!!!  I thought this was hilarious!!!!!

Thanks for sharing it!

Hi Jeff,

Well, that clears things up nicely for me... I thought it was just my computer :-)

I am currently sitting here in beautiful Los Gatos at the equally beautiful home of Mary Pope-Handy giddy with anticipation.  in just 18 1/2 hours I will be at Blogger's and Beer meeting some of the folks that I have known only here as pixels.

I can hardly wait.  See you soon!

Take care all, help lots of people and have a wonderful day!

No more minushia, or is it minutia, or is it minusha, what will we do.

07/31/2007 12:38 AM by Michael Eisenberg, Bellingham Realtor (Fairhaven Realty)


Tisza... can't wait to see you and Mary again.

I arrive in Oakland at 11:30am tomorrow and will probably be heading to my favorite Chinese restaurant for lunch, House Of NanKing. Anyone interested in joining me, let me know.

07/31/2007 12:54 AM by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows)


I love the headlines running along the bottom of the screen! I can't wait to see that re-release of Song of the South. 

07/31/2007 01:13 AM by Rosario Lewis, GRI ~ DDR Realty, Orange County, NY (DDR Realty)


Great vid, thanks for passing it on.  Enjoy Shakey town.

07/31/2007 01:18 AM by Darrel Quebedeaux (Evergreen Realty & Associates Inc.)


Darrel... funny you should say that. We just had a small Earthquak we could feel here in Santa Clarita. Nothing big, but enough to let you know you live in Southern California. ;)

07/31/2007 01:22 AM by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows)


Maybe we can get Al Gore can invent a back up for the internet. 

07/31/2007 02:14 AM by Randy L. Prothero - Hawaii REALTOR® (Century 21 Liberty Homes)


Hey Jeff,
 
Roberta Murphy and I are arriving in Oakland at about the same time.  Want to share a cab?  We are staying at the Palace.  
 

07/31/2007 03:03 AM by Laurie Manny, Long Beach CA Real Estate (Main Street Realtors Long Beach California)


Laurie... I was going to take the BART (makes me feel more like I'm in New York) but I'd love to take a cab with you and Roberta. I'm at the Marriott just around the corner. 

07/31/2007 03:50 AM by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows)


Jeff,

The NY Transit system was at the top of a list of the main reasons I wanted out of there.  I don't take public transportation, too many bad experiences.  

I didn't feel the quake down here, but I just told a client on Saturday that I thought we were way overdue, I have not felt one for years, don't care if I never do, that is just fine with me.  

07/31/2007 05:02 AM by Laurie Manny, Long Beach CA Real Estate (Main Street Realtors Long Beach California)


Now that was hysterical!   Have a wonderful time!!!!  My favorite chinese restuarant is Hunan Home on Jackson Street in San Francisco.  I even carry their business card in my wallet. 

07/31/2007 06:15 AM by Linda Davis (RE/MAX Realty Group)


Too funny, I bet this has been viewed thousands of times. Thanks for sharing, a great way to start the morning off.

07/31/2007 06:16 AM by Missy Caulk Ann Arbor Realtor Ann Arbor Real Estate (Keller Williams Ann Arbor)


Mr. Turner, I have a pinched nerve in my neck.  You have dropped me to the ground.  I am in so much pain I can't even cry.  

07/31/2007 06:38 AM by Chris Elizabeth Griffith ~ Bonita Springs Fl Real Estate (Keller Williams Elite Realty, Bonita Springs, FL)


This is great..I am actually relieved that there is a semi-decent plan in place incase this ever happens!!! :-)  Think about all the other disasters that never even had an emergency plan! I guess a tragedy like this could really cause alot of people to "alt/control/delete" themselves like the stock market crash many moons ago!

Chris- are you ok hun ???

07/31/2007 06:54 AM by Michele Connors, Broker in Charge (Coldwell Banker First Realty Morehead City)


Jeff - Too funny.......kind of conjures up a paranoia of "What If?" Really, what would we all do?

Have fun in SF.

07/31/2007 06:54 AM by Indianapolis Real Estate | Paula Henry (ReMax Excel)


I cannot stop laughing. This is too funny. Must go make Rich watch it now.

07/31/2007 06:55 AM by Melissa Kruse (Gryphon )


Awesome!  This really would drop Nigeria to it's knees...

07/31/2007 07:44 AM by Chris Tesch College Station, Texas Real Estate (RE/MAX Bryan College Station)


No wonder I have been getting twice the amount of email from Nigeria recently... It's their contingency plan.

07/31/2007 07:46 AM by Bob Carney Licensed MD/PA Real Estate Agent (Long & Foster Real Estate, Inc.)


Nigeria? What about all the porn moguls? They'd be crushed!

I had to watch it twice, the second time so I could read the scroll..."JcPenny's introduces Gay Sex Only Bathrooms"...What?! 

Hilarious! 

07/31/2007 09:36 AM by Robert Rees - Austin Real Estate (Robert Rees Realty, Inc)


I have to start being careful about all the windows I open at a time :-)  I especially loved what they said about the blogging community being hit and all the minutia that was lost. . .

07/31/2007 09:56 AM by Cathy Tishhouse Royal Oak Real Estate (RE/MAX Showcase Homes)


Very funny and I wish I were able to be with you all tomorrow.  I know it'll be a wonderful event!

07/31/2007 10:00 AM by Cynthia Sloop (Community Property Manager)


I wonder how many takes that took. Couldn't believe it was straight faced!

07/31/2007 11:55 AM by Gary Smith, Realtor® (RE/MAX Platinum)


Prety funny Jeff, I realy got  a kick out of it.

07/31/2007 02:25 PM by Jay McGillicuddy~Real Estate Broker (Prudential Verani Realty)


I was surprised that poor Al Gore didn't get a mention in the video.  LOL

07/31/2007 02:50 PM by Lake Wallenpaupack Pike County PA Real Estate | Karen E Rice (WEICHERT, REALTORS® Paupack Group )


ME TOO!  I thought for sure that the 'inventor' of the internet would have to be the Saviour d'jour ;)

07/31/2007 06:13 PM by Coeur d'Alene Real Estate - Come Live the Life Style - Christina Ethridge (David Swarat's North Idaho Dream Team (GMAC))


This is  too funny.. and clever and just darn good..  have a good time in SF..

07/31/2007 07:55 PM by Manhattan Beach CA/ e-PRO..... Kaye Thomas... (Real Estate West)


I am such an addict -- that was the funniest and scariest thing I have every seen!!! 

07/31/2007 08:06 PM by Sarah Cooper (Real Estate Shows)


OMG that was hysterical! I actually got a call asking if the entire Internet was down when I did tech support. Between the scrolling news stories (Albuquerque got a mention!) and the press conference that was funny! But when they got to passing out poems, diet tips, and gossip in the streets for emergency matters I had tears running down my checks from laughing so hard. I tried to view this yesterday and it wasn't working glad I came back! Thanks!

07/31/2007 10:02 PM by Albuquerque Real Estate | Ashley Drake Gephart (Keller Williams Realty)


{SVW Hubba}...

Okay. It's not just YOU. I thought it was flippin' hilarious too :)

It kind of made me think what everyone would do if that really happened.

Personally, I am not so connected as I can't go back. I'm all for simplicity :)

TLW...ROAR!

08/01/2007 10:21 AM by "The Lovely Wife"...Broker Bryant's Wife... (Co-Owner Tutas Towne Realty, Inc.)


Too funny! What will we do?? I can soooooooooo see a baby boom happening (not for you, Jeff..I think your vehicle is full!).

Have a great time in San Fran.

Julia

08/01/2007 03:09 PM by Julia Fedak (Platinum Home Staging Design)


Julia... :)

TLW[SVW]...  I knew you'd love this.

08/01/2007 11:15 PM by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows)


That is truly hilarious

08/02/2007 05:01 PM by The TaxMan (Self Employed)


OMG!  Did I sleep through it??  Did the crash get corrected??  Oh my!  Am I going to get my email?  I can't live without email!  And my firefox!!  Oh no!  Please please please don't let my Firefox crash!  

I'm going to need a drink and it's early!  Now my day is shot in the butt!  What will I do?

Laundry?  Are you kidding?  You want me to do laundry in the face of this catastrophe?  Grrrrrrrrr 

08/05/2007 08:26 AM by Carol Smith, ReMax Preferred, REALTOR®, Toledo, OH (www.calltoledohome.com)


And here I thought I had caused the crash with my stuffed full archaic pc.

What a relief! 

08/09/2007 10:43 PM by Kathleen Lordbock- HSE,RESA,SEA,SD ~Minnesota Home Stager~ (Re$ale Design & Home Staging)


Oh, Good Lord! If this ever happened, we would all surely be in deep trouble. When you think about it, though, who's to say something like this couldn't happen? Say we hit a global energy crisis - something to think about. What was that? "I feel like CTRL-ALT-DLTing myself" - HILARIOUS . . . for now. LOL

08/10/2007 08:47 PM by Ilyce N. Powell, CMPS™ - Certified Mortgage Planning Specialist (Envision Lending Group)


I just watched this again and it's just as good as it was the first time I watched it. :)

08/10/2007 11:13 PM by Jeff Turner (Real Estate Shows)


OH my God!!! That is TOOO Funny....I cannot stop laughing. I think if you relate at all to what he's saying, you have a problem. I definitely have an Internet problem..lol. Thanks for posting!

08/11/2007 03:54 AM by Erica Wallace (Hallmark Sotheby's International Realty)


We all may have a problem, Erica. :)
