Join The Decorum Room Wednesday where Mags will be preparing a multi-lettuce salad, and will be
cooking up cheese bacon meatballs and gnocchi. Mags will also be discussing how to win your way into his heart through food. The wine tonight is Verdicchio.
Verdicchio is a grape variety from Italy that produces a wine of the same name. Verdicchio (the grape) is a rapid growing, high acid grape grown almost exclusively in Central Italy where it is thought that the grape developed. This grape has a yellowish green color. Verdicchio grows best in well drained soils of sand and limestone.
Verdicchio (the wine), is slightly green-yellow in color and has a delicate bouquet. It is medium bodied with surprisingly strong flavors, a crisp acid balance and a slightly bitter finish. It is best consumed within the first two years from the vintage date.
It all starts at 8pm here!

As a follow-up to this morning’s post, Paltalk and, now Paltalk Express, are still under heavy denial of service attacks and logging in is impossible.

Paltalk has updated their blog, and at least reassures users that their lost paid time on pal will be recovered.

Quote from facebook:

I see a lot of questions about compensation for our paid subscribers for the lost day(s), I have it direct from our CEO that subscribers will be more than compensated for the lost service time and he would like me to thank you all for your patience, loyalty and understanding.

The End is near for Paltalk?

For 36 hours now, Paltalk has been dealing with a major DDOS attack which has crippled it;s servers and left chatters facing a login screen, or a screen where they are chatting to themselves.

Paltalk Chat program

All Paltalk is officially saying (as of midnight PST) is:

For the last 24 hours Paltalk has been under a DDOS attack of unprecedented size. Our Engineers have been working around the clock to fend off this malicious attack and keep the server interruptions to a minimum. We thank you for your patience and apologize for any inconvenience caused. Thanks for stick…ing with Paltalk! If you are having problems logging on please try www.paltalkexpress.com.

So where are all the insulters and cam whores going to go if Paltalk can’t get the ship righted from the iceberg? Many think Beyluxe, but that program is a knock off of paltalk, so how stable can that be?

Sufficient to say, Paltalk will have a hard time recovering the user base from this wholesale attack, which is a simple yet devastatingly effective weapon — hackers are simply using server pings to overload the paltalk chat servers, from various places all over the world. It’s basic, but has paltalk on the ropes.

Just given to me tonight, the actual prank call that started the KFC evacuation incident. Download the file here, or hit play to hear the call below. Sorry file removed due to bandwidth limits. Just download it.

Note: The call is unedited, 59 minutes, with other KFCs called as well. The Manchester KFC was the sucessful prank.

This call took place in the now closed “Pranks Inc.” chat room, by Canadian Paltalker and prankster “Dex” and his co-admin “Slayer.” The Manchester Police are still currently looking into the matter.

KFC Incident Led to Closure, Ban

As a result of a prank phone call which closed a KFC and injured 5 people, Pranks Inc. has been shut down by Paltalk. The call is alleged to have originated from the Pranks Inc. room, and involved Dex, the room owner, as well as some other veteran prankers. During the call, the Manchester, New Hampshire KFC employees were instructed to test their fire system, disrobe, and urinate on each other. The employees became suspicious when the caller asked them to urinate on each other.

Police are currently investigating the matter and Paltalk as shut down the chat room as a result.

KFC Employees Treated After Being Exposed To Fumes

KFC Closed to Dex Prank Call

MANCHESTER, N.H. — A Hazmat call to a Manchester Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant was determined to have been sparked by a hoax call, police said.

Firefighters were called to the restaurant on Hooksett Road because employees reported eye and skin irritation from a fire extinguisher. When emergency crews arrived, they found three employees disrobed outside of the building.

The employees told police that the restaurant got a call from someone claiming to be from corporate headquarters who asked them to test their fire suppression system. When they did and reported that they had chemicals from the extinguisher on their clothes, the caller told them they needed to take their clothes off.

The workers said they became suspicious when the caller then told them to urinate on each other.

Two officers were sent to a hospital for treatment from being exposed to chemicals inside the building, and two employees were also treated at a hospital. The third employee refused treatment.

Police said they are investigating the incident as a criminal matter. The restaurant was closed until health officials could determine that it was safe to re-open.

Editor’s Note: It is widely suspected that “Dex,” a Canadian Paltalker who runs the room “Pranks Inc,” is likely responsible for this prank call above. H/t to Kishy for the original article.
