No, ping is utility built into Operating Systems to check if a networked device is responding to requests. Also morphed into "hit me up" "call me" "shoot me an email" ad infinum. Ping is also a term used in sonar that refers to the signal sent out to find targets.

EDIT: I just realized you may have been joking so please ignore this mansplaining bit if it is so.

Oh, the cool lady who had me at warped cotton on the gin... hat tip to you again. I found your story a delightful read, maybe you should put all that experience into a book or small story of sorts?

:) I got a million of 'em!

Would you believe before I hit NC I was in NYC at The Limelight, partying with John Taylor from Duran Duran and saw Andy Warhol?

I've lived a bit!!

Wow, the Limelight. Haven’t heard that in a while. So many stories...

Now, if I could only remember them.

Yah, my desire to over-achieve always lands me in tryhard land. My lack of desire to let some shithead touch the back of my neck gets me muh beard, though it is on the wrong side of the head I'm afraid.

c'est la vie.
