Okay, that's just beyond the limits of good taste...

(Not like any of us ever knew what the limits were... come to think of it, not like any of us ever knew what "good taste" was...)

The only thing that seems to be missing from the list is the hijacking of the thread for some F-16 or F-18 bashing.......<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

Nope, we're actually going to attempt to keep this one on course, for as long as possible, anyway. Nice try though, Sparticus.

No he's saying that the list in M&M's post is missing hijacking.

What we need is some big assed swords to smash the lightbulbs.

Then none of it will matter.

LOL, M&M this is proof that almost anything is entertaining when you got this motley crue discussing it.

Speaking of high jacking a thread... Am I the only one who gets irritated when people call BDU's "cammos"?

LOL.....or.....Why do they have braille instructions on an ATM?

I think the question is why they have Braille onthe drive-thru ATM's and the answer is that the banks are cheap and just take the normal non drive-thru ATM's (with Braille) and install them for the drive-thru customers.

Think about that question again bigross......why would they EVER have braille on an ATM machine? Is the screen in braille? How would they know what the screen said as it changed from one to another? Its one of those govt things gone crazy!

"face it....perhaps your only purpose in life is to serve as a warning to others!"

Absolutely hilarious!!!

You forgot a couple though...

5 posters emailing the webmaster to request that order must be restored.

2 posters asking for technical specifications of the light bulb and 3 view rotatable drawings in CAD format.

1 poster saying that it is all a waste of time so he is going to drink beer and surf porn.

And some clown who always has to stick in the "You forgot a couple though..." line and try to correct your posts....


get muddy

Can I be the beer drinking porn surfing one? Please???

What about the one who joins the thread late,
Doesn't read it properly,
Picks up one interesting sentence like "Leather Clad Lesbian Twins"
And then tries to join in not knowing what the hells going on...

BTW, it's actually a Vacuum Restricted Electroluminant Filament Device
