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
Big changes are scary. Just reassure her that flexibility is the key to adaptation.
That is exactly how they started.
Each town had it’s own Credit union or Co-operative.
They started late 19th early 20th century to enable the poor folk who only had a few coppers to invest to make something out of what little they had, and when required borrow some at a small interest charge.
The Banks wouldn’t touch investors of this small size, never mind lending money to them.
Over time these small unions/co-ops joined together to become more effective and profitable.
There are only a handful left now as they have merged or become banks, having been carpetbagged.
They are now every bit as large and powerful as the main Banks in this country, but have retained a little of their history in their names.
Eg Norwich Union.
Tornadoes happen in every state. The BIG ones happen only in tornado alley. Something to do with Canadian air masses and Gulf air masses having tiffs and tossing things at each other. And in our midwest, there’s nothing to stop them except a little barbed-wire fencing.
It stands to reason the zombies would ignore a Clinton.
Zombies only eat brains.
Oh, yessir, tornadoes? We gots ‘em! Are American Students in town a good thing, a bad thing, or some neutral observation? Glad you arrived home intact!
Why do they cancel swim team practice when it rains? Are they afraid of getting wet?
LOL+
Good old XP battle-tank to the rescue.
That is one smart Dawg!
Did swim team practice occur as planned? Hope so. Fluffy, the Stainless Steel Cat does not obey the laws of gravity. Please feel free to consult with him. He speaks VietNamese so you might need an interpreter. Otherwise, brush him and you’re his friend for life.
None of my other catz speaks Vietnamese.
Swim team practice starts at 5:00. It looks like it will be okay, as of now, but there’s still an hour for storms to brew.
They liven the night up on their first sniff of Alcohol, that's for sure!
It's the uppercrust English students that are the biggest problem.
Don't know when to shut-up, especially when drunk.
That was one thing that was learned that night.
She walked though a crowd of zombies without a scratch... .
I’m sure they cancel the swimming when it rains for the same reason they canceled it when I was a kid: The risk of being hit by lightning while in the water is about as high as that of standing under the tallest tree around to get out of the thunderstorm.
It’s a safety precaution.
I’m seriously thinking of getting a swim suit since the local pool is just a few blocks from here. But it will have to go on my list of things behind the things I need the most. A swim suit is a luxury of sorts.
It would be nice to feel less gravity, though...
I was born in a swim suit.
:)
They don’t cancel just for rain, only if thunder is heard or lightning is seen. James is at his practice now; the older 4 go at 6:00. Tom will drive!
I have a house and my own well, as well, and a back yard garden, but none of that other stuff.
Sounds nice.
Where I grew up, it didn’t just rain in the summer. It was T-storms, so the pool was closed until the danger had passed.
I don't have much of the other stuff either. That's one reason to make a list.
I have the low-tech version of security; a collection of hand tools. I can make or repair most of the things I need, but I can't make the time I need to do that.
