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
To justify spending money fixing up the Jeep?
Seriously, I thought it might be handy to have portable electricity available. Looks as though you have things covered.
I saw some Guineas roaming my back lot today. I called my neighbor to let him know his birds had gotten out.
He said the same thing, that Guineas are good at clearing out ticks.
I told him it was okay for the birds to picnic back there anytime.
Hey, I meant to ping you to my #2,346.

Sorry Love.
You holding up OK?
Wah?...
Having problems navigating the Project List...
I’m trying very hard to get Marshall’s hoodie done. Then there are several other projects, and one for me and OHSHUCKS! Will I have time to get it all done?
I also have some things to write and/or transcribe. I feel so inadequate!
PS: My SiL/5th cousin once removed/friend/sister passed away April 23, and I am trying to be worthy of her respect. Her children are awesome and I miss all of them terribly.
Guinea hens love weed seeds and ticks. And most other bugcritters too...
Not to mention that they taste sort of like a cross between chicken and turkey..
I’m off to the side and down for the night.
We weren't expecting much, but not long after the movie started playing, we looked at each other and said, "Hey...this is GOOD!"
I thought the cinematography was outstanding. The smoke-covered battlefields took my breath.
That sounds good. My neighbor has peacocks that wander over here. Mr. Sg put a fence around the garden for same, but I’ve seen them fly into the trees, so they’re probably pointing and giggling hysterically at the fence behind our backs.
Weed seeds, too? Wow, I hope we can get a couple or three next year!
Tell Mr. Sg that you could rig up an alarm system.
I'm sure they would show up on Gaydar.
We liked the huge, crashing, train-on-fire scenes. That movie stays with you. There are plenty of memorable scenes.
You mean those peacocks look like this?
BoondocksBabel fish update service ,recommended patch.The term boondocks is an American English term for a remote, usually brushy rural area; or to a remote city or town that is considered unsophisticated.
OriginsThe expression was introduced to English by American military personnel serving in the Philippines during the early years of the 20th century. It derives from the Tagalog word "bundok", meaning "mountain". According to military historian Paul Kramer, the term had attached to it "connotations of bewilderment and confusion", due to the guerrilla warfare in which the soldiers were engaged. "Bundok" as originally used by Filipinos is a colloquialism referring to rural areas inland which are usually mountainous and difficult to access (most major Filipino cities and settlements are located near the coastline). Other equivalent terms used are the Spanish-derived "probinsya" ('province') and the Cebuano "bukid" ('mountain'). When used generally, the term refers to a rustic or uncivilized area. When referring to people (Tagalog "taga-bundok"/"probinsyano", Cebuano "taga-bukid" – literally 'someone who comes from the mountains/provinces'), it acquires a derogatory connotation referring to the stereotype of country people being unsophisticated, ignorant, uncultured, illiterate, or naive.
Expanded meaningsThe term has evolved into American slang used to refer to the countryside or any implicitly isolated rural/wilderness area, regardless of topography or vegetation. Similar slang or colloquial words are "the sticks", "the wops", "the backblocks", or "Woop Woop" in Australia and New Zealand, "bundu" in South Africa, and "out in the tules" in California. The diminutive "the boonies" can be heard in films about the Vietnam War such as Brian De Palma's Casualties of War. It is used by American military personnel to designate rural areas of Vietnam. Many from the urban East Coast of the United States have presumed the word to come from "boon docks," a description, not used by mariners, to describe floating docks more common in remote fishing villages than in busier ports. "Down in the Boondocks" is a song written and produced by Joe South and sung by Billy Joe Royal. It was a hit in 1965. It tells the story of a young man who laments that people put him down because he was born in the boondocks. He is in love with the boss man's daughter and vows to work slavishly until, one day, he can "move from this old shack" and fit in her society. Throughout the song, he asks the "Lord [to] have mercy on the boy from down in the boondocks". |

Morning TC,
‘We’ have a National day off today.
Has it manifested itself o’er yonder?
No. We have a day off on May 27.
"Stand up straight, boy! Nothing wrong with being a hillbilly."
(A' course, if'n ye'r a Redneck, that's a nuther thing ...)
We always said “out in the boondocks.” I didn’t realize the word denoted an elevation.
