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
Yes but they go off.
Imagine sugar mines, and tunneling into a vein of confectioner’s sugar.
Instant wave of powdery doom.
Am certain OSHA would require a respirator. Did you read about those ice tsunamis in MN and Canada? Wow! Those poor people!
And you know well that powdered sugar can explode.
That is puzzling. Since Spanish is derived from Latin, you’d think they’d have a relatively easy time of it. Do you do “Confirma hoc Deus”? I also walk around doing chores singing “Gaudeamus Igitur.” Unfortunately, I can’t seem to recall what goes after “iuvenes et su-hu-mus.” Of all the things I’ve lost....
They probably did their training in the TN summer humidity.
*snorkle chortle* That brings to mind the Calvin and Hobbes selection that demonstrates a knock-down-drag-out fight between Calvin and the spinach on his dinner plate.
Powdered sugar can explode? For goodness’ sake, keep that quiet. I don’t want to wait for a background check simply because I need to make some frosting. These restrictions are becoming entirely too extensive and involved. Blech.
Gonna turn in soon. Good night and sweet dreams, y’all!
Yeah, “be careful of the blob, it slinks, and creeps, and gliiiides and slides..”
The one where he pokes it and it grabs a weapon to defend itself?
Again...could be wrong.
A vast array of powers can be made to explode ,given enough air.
We have a frost warning again tonight as well. I’m glad I covered everything last night as we went to 29f. Tonight we should see 37f, so I’ll only cover the most tender plants. By Wed. night it warms up again to the low 40’s minimum.
Almost all organic materials, in form of dust, can oxidize quickly and robustly, (I.e. “explode”).
No doubt you have heard of explosions at grain mills and loading facilities. We had a sugar explosion at Dominoes on the Baltimore harbor.
Coal dust is explosive. Fine fibers in the air can explode. Some rocket fuels utilize finely ground materials as reactants, including, yes, sugar.
Seed packages and gardening books say that the last danger of frost for my area in Maryland is on May 15th.
The local master gardener organization claims the 10th of May is our average last frost date.
Are you still getting frost?
We had pellets of frozen precipitation falling over the weekend.
The plants, the weeds and vines, don’t care about the temperature; they’re activated and motivated by the light.
Anyone who wants to grow his own food anywhere should have a bit of greenhouse space. A pit greenhouse, preferably.
Very few people are aggressive enough about securing their own food. We worry about energy independence, but most world empires were fueled by adequate food. It’s our industry that needs fuels. Everything else needs food.
While she didn't teach them all at the same time, over the years she was certified in the state of Ohio to teach English, French, Latin, Library Science, Botany, Biology, Zoology, and that's just what I can pull off the top of the memory stack. Seems there was a math of some flavor in the mix also. She never went for her Masters. When something came up she would take more hours to get that cert. Seems she had her BS plus something like an additional 60 plus hours of credit on top of that.
She used the Latin pronunciation as opposed to what she called 'church Latin'... so it was a hard 'c'. And 'v' was pronounced as 'w'..
And yes, I still know the words to Adeste Fidelies by memory - with 'proper' pronunciation, of course... ;-)
