I just spent alot of time posting!
I see that, looks like you hit a small bump.
Pictured: Small Bump
What happened?
Well, someone set up us the bomb?
I'm serious!
Oh, well.. looks like your post got pulled.
Augh! I spent alot of effort on that! How did it happen?!
Couldn't be because you were doing it wrong?
What the, how'd you get that video of m-- uh.. I don't even wear that!
Right Skippy. *cough* Well, since you asked, here's how posts get removed.
First, if it is against TOS it gets seen.
Then it gets marked.
Okay, I have that much.
Then the mods gather:
Pictured, mods gathering.
I don't think that's how it looks, I..
Look, do you want an answer or not?
...Yes?
Right, carrying on.
Then they back their vehicle up to your post.
Whoah! What the heck is that thing?!
It's a machine, that eats other machines.
With this:
I don't see what this has to do with my post vanishing, can you tell me wha-
Watch it question boy! I have a flamethrower!
You want to vanish like your dog did?
What the?! No, not Roozer too!
To be fair, your dog WAS drunk.
What?! Who would even... please don't point that flamethrower at me.
Right, and after they saw your post off the entire forum, they set it on fire.
Wait.. that man. His face, and fire! Oh GOD WHY?!
Oh, HIS post was all about his face, so the mods set it on fire.
After that, they used the ashes to open a gate between our world and theirs, like this:
BLECH! That's horrible!
And those tentacles! GAAAH!
If you think that's bad, you should see what happens when the mods get their hands on a bad thread.

Oh look, here comes a mod now.
Looks like they want to ask you about that thread you just posted.
Gaaah! Tell them I'm indisposed!
Pictured: Moderator, dunno which one.
Tell them yourself, they're right behind you.
Wait, don't run away!
We haven't gotten to what happens when they edit your thread title!
This concludes our sordid fictional tale.
If you liked that, we have plenty more in the book "Oh the horrible things you'll summon!" rumored to be written by IamnotaMod
It’s OK, Sis. It’s just Magick Under the Hoode! (Bonnet!)
I loved “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” It was a silly movie with lots of sight gags if you are quick enough, and humor that wasn’t blatant.
And no, I didn’t know it was based on Homer’s Oddyssey.
Idunno...that looks like bowling to me. ;o]
See? I knew that! I can crawl under the car with the best of them, but I can’t name all the engine parts. I have a good idea about what goes where and why, but I can’t write a dissertation on any of it.
There was a day when I could tell you fairly closely what the noises meant and what needed to be fixed but engines are quite a bit different today than they were when I learned all that stuff.
Thanks for posting. They both sound interesting.
There we have it then...
You understand one of the most complicated items in the male generated part of society.
Give a man a food processor or washing machine and watch...
But is it microwave-safe?
Lol!
I had older brothers and a mechanically-minded husband. I have an advantage, I think! LOL!
I think it would probably leave a ‘splody mess in the kitchen...
Thank goodness. We prophylactically look around to see what's available in case our cars suffer an untimely demise, and we're talking big-time sticker shock here. If you do decide to design and build your car, would you keep us informed re: the process? That sounds very interesting.
Prayers up and continuing. I know that the whole family is suffering.
We gave “O Brother, Where Art Thou?” five stars, and yes, the Netflix blurb says that is “loosely” based on “The Odyssey.”
That was 13 years ago before I realized what a turd George Clooney is.
You’re right; he really is Odyssey.
Garlic spray for ticks? Could you elaborate?
Good morning, n-t-i. Put on your raincoat and enjoy the Global Warming!
That would be my guess, too.
52 and raining. Unnngh.
Thank you! (And I wonder why all those tech books didn’t just say that.) What amazes me is how did somebody develop this idea. (Same thing about math formulas. I came up with a maximization problem of limited utility—it only applies to rectangles—the perpendicular bisector of a line drawn between the coordinates and the point of origin yields the upper outer coordinate of the rectangle with the biggest area. Is that clear? Sounds wonky now. Haven’t thought about it in years.)
“Armature” sounds familiar.
