KATIE: I don't know, Waffles. You were the last one to change it.
WAFFLES: Oh yeah, it's something like I M AWESOME. Oh wait, no. It's CHICKEN. Totally chicken.
KATIE: Totally Chicken? Or just Chicken?
WAFFLES: No, just chicken.
KATIE: Upper case C?
WAFFLES: Not SEA CHICKEN, Boss. There's no such thing as a sea chicken. Is there?? Ok no, just CHICKEN.
KATIE: No, Waffles, I don't mean Sea CHICKEN. I get that it's chicken. I just want to know what's upper case and what's not.
WAFFLES: What's not what???
KATIE: Great. Now we're locked out. We need a new password.
WAFFLES: I know! I know! WAFFLES. Totally WAFFLES. Ok, not totally Waffles. Just Waffles. Totally.
*heavy sigh from Katie as she tap taps W-A-F-F-L-E-S*
KATIE: Uh yeah, it says your password is WEAK. True on so many levels.
Today Glogirly got a huge laugh out of an email exchange she had with a fellow Cat Writers Association member. Her friend sent her some login credentials for the CWA blog. (Glogirly has a guest post that will be publishing sometime this week!) The temporary password she assigned to Glogirly was WAFFLES.
Of course there was quite a protest once I got wind of this. What about KATIE? Or perhaps KatieIsBEAUTIFUL? KatieIsSMART would work too. But WAFFLES??? So Glogirly emailed her back and told her I was more than a little upset, upon which we received this prompt reply:
"Tell Katie the computer told me that password was WEAK" *giggle*
To which Glogirly burst into giggles and guffaws.
Do passwords make you as crazy as us?
But what if there WERE sea chickens? Would they taste like chicken or tuna or somethin' in between? And would they know the password?
ReplyDeletePurrs,
Nissy
Chicken and waffles - I's gettin hungry!
ReplyDeleteI think the password should have been CHICKEN anyhow!
ReplyDeleteThat is clearly one exasperated tuxie.
ReplyDeleteYou should see ours for the blog.... no really Chicken doesn't even come close....... Or TuxieKatie Loves Chicken,,,,
ReplyDeleteKatie has to endure soooooooo much!!!
ReplyDeleteThat is funny
ReplyDeleteThe password is *always* CHICKEN. - Ashton
ReplyDeletetoo funny......guess passwords should be left up to the boss
ReplyDeleteMOL! At my house the fur kids think it should be TREETZ! *s*
ReplyDeleteYou know Google wouldn't accept that password because it doesn't have a number, a letter, a non numeric or alpha character and hasn't ever been used on your google account before. EVER.
ReplyDeleteDon't even get us started! Love Dolly
ReplyDeleteSea chickens now those sound interesting. LOL. Passwords drive me nuts too. Have a great week.

LOL - that is a good one. Passwords do drive us crazy.. M has a document with 6 pages of sites and various passwords. She says if it ever gets lost, we'll be in real trouble. Many of those are to sites we don't visit anymore, but for every one we eliminate, we seem to add two more.
ReplyDeleteHaha yes PW's do make our Mom crazy!
ReplyDeleteCan so relate, Katie! Passwords make me and my entire family crazy. I have so many, it's hard to remember them and if I'm not really diligent and forget to update one in my iPhone, I get locked out too! I've learned how to get past the password police, tho', so I don't get hit with a WEAK assessment of my choice. I throw everything in there, like a great stew (yes, Waffles, a CHICKEN stew), and I get great feedback every time! Loved the post!
ReplyDeleteOMC, passwords are a nightmare ! We have the same situation as Mariondacat here ! Purrs
ReplyDeletePasswords are so hard to deal with! Wait, did somebuddy say sea chicken???
ReplyDeleteKatie looks as discouraged as me about passwords!!!! Four cats to incorporate their names in passwords. Then they do have nicknames. I could use those and then numbers and symbols. Which birthday number to take?! Which symbol?! Argh!!
ReplyDeleteBTW, when I saw the subject in my mail I thought you guys were doing TV shows. The password is....that show was so much fun!! I love love love Betty White! Maybe that could be your next TV show blog.
Those sea chickens..do they have wings or fins??..I think they could be tasty!
ReplyDeleteIf you can get Sea Monkeys, why not Sea Chicken too?
ReplyDeleteWHERE MOM AND DAD ARE RIGHT NOW, THERE ARE LOTS OF OCEAN CHICKENS...EVEN BABY ONES. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May, Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
ReplyDeleteThat's hilarious Katie!! Oh, by the way Katie...did I ever tell you that my Mommy's favorite girl name (seriously now) is Katie and if I had a sister...her name would probably be Katie? Yes. True story. THAT'S how awesome your name is because Mommy only loves awesome names. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, passwords make me and Mommy BOTH annoyed at times.
Love, Pixel
BOL! That is too funny! Yes, passwords make us SO crazy - although we're bloggers, oddly enough we are always running out of good words to use as passwords! Grrrr! Good luck choosing a new interweb (Hee, Hee!) password, one that isn't Weak!
ReplyDeleteLove & Biscuits,
Dogs Luv Us and We Luv Them
Passwords absolutely drive us crazy!!! Just on Friday I was trying to order from an online store and it would not accept the password that I know is correct, plus their emails to me to reset it wouldn't work either!!! Grrrr...
ReplyDeleteYES they DO!!!!
ReplyDeleteUm, Waffles...there is Chicken of the Sea. ;)
ReplyDeleteMum does write stuff down for the passwords, except for the green paper place.
ReplyDeleteMOL at Island Cats’ comment. Katie, make up your own password.
