Finding an outlet when your battery dies in the middle of an auction: Priceless
In 1996, Andrew Conru had a vision – to create a one-stop solution for seeking, finding, and managing all types of online relationships. JewishFriendFinder.com Was launched!
Lonnie, in his overwhelmed and dazed state, absent-mindedly plugged his laptop into the dirt while trying to figure out how to pay the large domain renewal fees…
Wow! another bid on my domain
The outdoors once belonged to the Cowboy, the Logger, and the Fisherman. Today the Domainer is giving them a run for their money.
My wife is in big trouble and you too Elliot and Manny
The Walk of Shame…..Domainer Style!
In order to succeed in this industry, one needs to have vision, a strong work ethic and the ability to find an outlet almost anywhere when your battery dies in the middle of an auction.
“Damn it! $0.01 per click? How can I pay for my vacation?”
Let’s see…ServiceDock.com, taken. IslandBridge.com, taken. PleaseAccessThisRideAtTheIslandBridge.com, available!
“I wonder if Island Bridge has been registered?”
Andrew beat me, damn!
Can you paint a little faster? This laptop’s getting heavy.
Lone on the range.
Lone ranger.
The world is my workplace.
Changing the rules up a bit. I am going to pick the top 3 tonight and have readers vote tomorrow. This will be more democratic!
“Dear, I said leave the laptop at the hotel.”
“Look. This ride has an outlet. I can check my auction now.”
Who says I have a problem–I can stop domaining anytime I want to!
“Missed the boat, but caught rawfish.mobi in the auction!”
Kids, can you stop with the scenery for one damn minute and take the opportunity to look at these auctions with me.
Not only is ‘Green Energy’ convienently everywhere, it’s kosher!
There comes a time in every man’s life when he must stand up and tell his mother that he is an adult. This usually happens at around the age of 40 and in Lonnie’s case, by email.
CNN is reporting that the sun is shining and the grass is green! Let me check Fox.
Why ride when you can domain?
NO rides on this DOCK im busy!
The Internet Never Sleeps! Neither Do I!
“C’mon, c’mon hit me! I am getting nothing here…I am standing under a fruit [apple] tree next time.”
I can’t believe a bird just shit on my head! Well, better my head than my notebook.
“Napolean, don’t be jealous that I’ve been chatting with babes online, and buying domains all day”
lightning – what lightning???
” WOW, Elliot sure knows his stuff! “
Parental Advisory, don’t try this at home.
“dotMobi? You’ve got to be kidding me!”

Dear Mom,
I’m getting out more, but I still think I’m missing something…
Expert domainer Lonnie searches innocently while sniper extraordinaire “Timothy-Tree” captures his next great sniped domain.
He waited and waited and waited. Like Moses in the desert, he wondered when his day would come. Though the ride would always leave without him. It took several years before Lonnie finally realized he had been waiting at the wrong dock, the Service Dock.
