Key’s Cupboard : Welcome To Dabblehub

Key's Cupboard

Welcome to the new DABBLEHUB antisocial faffing-about network. Please note that access to DABBLEHUB is restricted. Within five seconds a new window will open, in which you should type your access code.

If you do not have an access code yet, where have you been?

To get an access code, albeit a late one, you must subscribe to the DABBLEHUB Groupuscule Register. Your unique access code can be retrieved from the database when you receive a confirmation email, unless you are a seedy person, in which case it will be sent by carrier cyberpigeon.

Your access code is different from your password, but must be compatible. For help with access codes and passwords, and to check compatibility, you need to download a PDF file from the DABBLEHUB Document Storage Mirror Site closest to you. A list of locations is available to unregistered users via wingrotesque.

If the new window has not opened within five seconds, there is either something wrong with your computer, or you have a deeply flawed personality. You may even be a seedy person. It is not unknown for the seedy and the dissolute to try to gain access to DABBLEHUB, more’s the pity. But the system is robust and we have a proven track record of filtering out such deplorable specimens. Less sympathy, more deploring, that’s our motto. Much more deploring. Deploring and condemning.

To view the readme file on our vindictive methods of condemnation, you will need to install a plug-in. You can do this even if you are a deplorable and seedy person, because the software has been developed in full cooperation with the Holy See in Rome. Upon installation, your computer will be imbued with Virtual Sanctity (version 4.03) with automatic upgrades. If you are a confessor of a different faith, there is no hope for you, no matter how often you sprawl on your prayer mat or slaughter a sacrificial goat. You are advised to repent your sins before it is too late, and your raiment is torn in shreds and your mouth is filled with ashes.

We are always seeking to improve the quality of users’ DABBLEHUB experience, and we welcome feedback, so long as it is grammatically correct. Those of you who write in as if you were a teenage nitwit sending a text message on a mobile phone will be subject to condemnation so robust that you will wish you had never been born.

    I think we ought to display these intructions prominently somewhere. We get a lot of sinners on The Dabbler.

    Zo! that’s the lie of the land is it, illiterates out, semi’s reapply for your job at the tradeperson’s entrance.

    Accordingly, I shall not seek, and I will not accept, the nomination of my browser for another term as your commenter stroke commentor..
    But let men everywhere know, however, that a strong, a confident, and a vigilant Dabbling commenter stroke commentor stands ready today to seek an honourable post–and stands ready today to defend an honoured comment–whatever the price, whatever the burden, whatever the sacrifice that duty may require.
    Thank you for listening.
    Good night and Fred bless all of you.

    Has Frank Key finally reached that impasse, viz… two Yale’s short of a lock.

      Have you coined two Yales short of a lock, Malty? I think if Jonathon Green met you he’d have to rewrite his dictionary…

    Is this the Dabblehub? Thank God. I am from Nigeria and I need your help is releasing two hundred million dollars U.S. which was wrongly frozen in my husband’s bank account by the current military dictatorship after they chopped him up into little pieces and served him with yams and claret at a state dinner. I am willing to split this amount with you in return for your help. I trust the mere fact that I am here proves my good faith and is conclusive proof that I am not a seedy person.

      Do you think Nigeria’s reputation will ever recover from the Era of Email Scamming?
