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
She came with her Pretorian guard.
Their heads were the diameter of large pizzas.
Sounds about right. With biscuit-seals to match.
Weak floors?
Do 'merican GSDs have the sloping backend or the nice straight back?
I think it’s the “fear factor” that set the rules for pet size. Larger animals are a threat to the neighbors and maintenance workers. And of course, the tenants who don’t pick up after their animals cause some of us to step on some rather large “land mines.” NOT pleasant.
All the buildings here have cement slabs for floors. This is mostly because the desert soil is packed so hard that basements are seldom heard of.
Farther north, of course, basements depend on whether the water table is higher than the basement floor.
Although large structures have “basements” for support purposes in case of the odd quake or two, they are the exceptions.
Can we have a sympathetic sigh for Poor Bill? I just had to explain to him that, with two additional drivers, the time available for him to use the car would decline.
“I was going to go out tonight and be back after noon tomorrow.”
“Sorry, we’re going to need the car for Elen to start driving.”
My goal is to make him sufficiently uncomfortable that any job looks better than hanging around here!
Rats! I missed your birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FACE!!!!
That’s OK, SJB...I had it anyway! LOL!
Thanks for the wishes, though. They all count. :o]
LOL!
I love your logic! He was probably thinking that with two more drivers, he wouldn’t be called on to be the Designated Driver for various and sundry family members.
Obviously, the plan had a major flaw...too few cars! LOL!
There wouldn’t be time for Elen to drive this evening, or I’d have said he couldn’t go out unless someone else came to get him. DP and I will have to hold a conference regarding Prioritizing the Car, and then present it to the drivers-and-trainee, or I’ll have them all griping at me constantly. Well, I probably will anyway, but it will be less stressful if I have a document at hand.
Documents is GOOD! I keep everything that comes into this place so that when the need arises, I can copy it and send it to those who are questioning my eligibility. Ohyes...and I have a bright red “COPY” stamp so they don’t have to send back what I send.
Of course, it means that I have a virtual tsunami of paperwork and not enough room to file it all. I priced one of those “Neat Desk” scanners, as that would solve everything for me, but at $500, the cost was totally out of my league.
So, like I do with everything else, I will wait until they are popular enough for the price to come down.
I might get the VHS-to-DVD machine for my birthday in July. After converting our tapes, we could do the ones the church owns.
I was never allowed to drive my parents car, ever.
All of my driving experience came from 3.5 ton vans ,10 ton trucks ,Earth movers and other assorted tracked vehicles.
Until my own car arrived on the scene.
So he is luck to be driving it in the first place, or an I sounding to much like my ol’man?
Yes, he is lucky. Apparently none of his friends has a car or use of one, because Bill drives everywhere.
Too bad ... he’s just going to have to get a job to replace his social life, because in addition to not taking the car every day, he’s also not going to lie around the house with his computer.
Ooooohhhhh....now I’m jelly....
I have one DVD case filled. It is HEAVY!!!!
Of course, that still leaves probably 200+ VHS tapes that need to be converted. And I haven’t started on the CDs. Lazy, I guess.
I drove my dad’s truck twice before he passed away. Then it was sold. It could have been sold to me. But it wasn’t.
I never had my own car to drive until I was divorced almost two years. I walked a lot, in a town where there was no bus service and no taxis.
(((Huggs)))
I feel rough, so ‘Heading Eastbound and Down’, (hope I got that right.)
See you tomorrow, Folks.
Storm brewing outside by the sound of it.
We’ve had non-stop wind for the last three days and nights, and the sky was overcast yesterday and this morning. We have sunshine, b=now, but still the wind, and it feels a lot cooler than 81 degrees.
I’m sorry you’re feeling rough, Moosie. I hope a good night’s rest will improve your feelings.
Take care of you!
These are very good principles. Would that everyone ascribe to them.
Oh, joy! Congrats, Elen!
Is a biscuit seal something you feed or something you eat?
You are an incredibly effective strategist! You could have written the Girl Scout Manual right along with Tsun Tzu!
