Troll sighting confirmed, Jim!

This could be hugh! -Sam, let's have the IBTZ count.

.

.

.

Current IBTZ count is 24- including 9 mushroom cloud gifs and one picture of
Donald Rumsfeld with laser beam eyes and lightning bolts coming out of his left nostril.

.

.

.

No cats with machine guns?

.

.

.

No sir.

.

.

.

What about those two "We're doomed!" guys?

.

.

.

Nothing yet.

Do I have to think of everything?- Enable 'doomed' configuration!

How Ralph got the ZOT9000 assignment is beyond me! He has no clue what he's talking about.

overthrusters running at one billion jiggiwatts with Flux Capacitor capacitating flux at maximum two
tons per second! Defliberation Laser Transmogrifier speed set to...um... spork-weasel!!

Spork-weasel???

.

.

.

Spork-weasel, spork-weasel..... just as I thought. No such phrase exists in the specs.
---Ralph's making crap up again!

.

.

.

Ralph, did you just say spork-weasel??

.

.

.

I'm not sure, chief!

.

.

.

Idiot! I put in the years! I paid my dues! That should be me up there behind the wheel of the ZOT9000!
---It's all politics, Joe.

.

.

Commence ZOT countdown!

What is a ZOT anyways?

[ffusco]

Bingo!

[Tijeras_Slim]

History of the ZOT! posted here

[cibco]

A ZOT is when the Admin Moderator summons the Viking Kitties on a Troll to purge them from the FR membership rolls.

A ZOT awakens the FR collective and the result are long threads, such as this.

Deffy - have you seen this classic yet?

[cibco]

Never mind...

[greyfoxx39]

I'll bump for the weekend.

[defconw]

:) Yes I have seen it.

[MrEdd]

Lest it be forgotten,

BOOMP!

[Nam Vet]

Excellent! But I have one question.

Which one of those highly advanced units handles the flash messages to our VRWC Decoder Rings?

Nam Vet

[Mom MD]

If I told you, I'd have to kill you

[texas booster]

Last to the party bump.

This is really an excellent thread!

[FatherofFive]

Is it just me or have the number of ZOTS declined in the past year?

[MrEdd]

lest we forget, BTTT
