What Happened When The Mods Pulled My Post?

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.

Pictured: Mod hands

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

The body and the tail look like it, but I’m not certain about the head. Seemed like the head was rounder. The Wiki groundhog face looks kind of like a rat. Thanks!

Eating kudzu is a good idea (I love greens and throw them into everything—they’re really good in hot German potato salad with bacon). Apparently, though, someone has figured out a solution to the kudzu problem because we see less and less of it all the time.

You have the best-organized brain I know of. However, I can’t find the poem.

We have a tikiroom? It sounds like a good place in which to have a drink after work. If you’re available at about 1700, why don’t we all meet there for libation, relaxation, felicitation, etc.?

Maybe it’s the angle of the photos, but the marmot picture looks more like the critter we saw. The geographic distribution documentation seems to support groundhog, though. Thanks!

Have you ever made it through the entire “Attack of the Killer Tomatoes”? I’m constitutionally incapable.

"If TEOTWAWKI occurs, people will need warm garments and blankets."

You know I have a poem for that.

"You have the best-organized brain I know of. However, I can’t find the poem."

Oh, it's just this old thing.

The World’s Going To End

The world’s going to end, some day, some day,
But I can tell you when.
When I stop cranking out for it,
The impetus to spin.

Oh, yes, it’s me who’s at the heart,
Of every thing’s conjunction,
I noticed this while still quite young,
Who else could make it function?

Nothing happens when I’m not there,
Though some pretend it does.
They cannot fool me for I see,
It’s just the way it was.

I feel perplexed and puzzled,
You all will go some day,
When my senescence brings a close,
To all you have to say.

Like silent ghosts you’ll drift away,
While I in sleep descend.
And on that sad and somber day,
The world will have its end.

NicknamedBob . . . . . . July 6, 2007

Basically, if I'm not available to keep an eye on things, then you all are on your own.

God help you.

We have bars, kitchens, restaurants and gyms that are open 24/7, so any time of day or night, you can wander the Habitats and find something to your liking!

Keep in mind that a woodchuck/ground hog is a marmot...

Profile/appearance wise they all look about the same, coloration differences sometimes differentiate among the various Marmota. There is a clan of Marmota monax (ground hog) living on the farm here. One of their entrance burrows is underneath the fence separating the back yard from the corn field (they can access the den from either side of the fence.) Their coloration varies from dark brown to reddish brown to a gray-brown, but they are all woodchucks.

"We have bars, kitchens, restaurants and gyms that are open 24/7, so any time of day or night, you can wander the Habitats and find something to your liking!"

Actually, what we have in our microcosmic world are three continents or large islands each a hundred and twenty degrees out of phase with its neighbors. As divided by time zones, that's eight hours.

You can get from one Habitat to another in about two minutes, riding the tubular elevator system with the spherical elevator cars.

The system is made that way so that during travel and upon arrival the car can freely rotate so that the floor aligns with the local "down". (On a rotating Space Habitat, down is away from the axis of rotation. Up has a limited distance, but down is forever if you leave the Habitat.)

Most establishments operate on their local time, but some specialize in morning customers, while others try to appeal to the evening crowd. In any case, you can find activity, and food and drink, somewhere within a short distance.

It’s official: the type of driving I do allows me to go 265 miles at the rate of 24.09 mpg. That’s combined freeway and short hops in the berg.

I ran out of gas on the freeway last night. Not what I wanted, as I had no money for gas, but I called a friend who had a 5 gallon container, so I’m good until Monday!

You’re so good at describing things and working things out, you should write a book!

Oh. Wait. You already did. And quite good books at that...

Trivia time! (Or, something for your Department of Useless Information!)

The Mandalay Bay hotel and casino has a monthly power bill of $1.7 - $2 million dollars! One casino, one month!

GAH!!!

I’ve looked at writing the comprehensive history of the Flying Castle, from its ill-fated beginning until its declining importance in a post-apocalyptic nightmare.

Man survives in this telling, but man’s culture has changed in drastic ways. It’s like watching a child grow from six to sixteen.
