Annoyed at thread drift

One day God was looking down at earth and saw all of the rascally behavior that was going on...
So He called His angels and sent one to earth for a time.
When the angel returned, he told God, 'Yes, it is bad on earth; 95% are misbehaving and only 5% are not.
God thought for a moment and said, 'Maybe I had better send down a second angel to get another opinion.'
So God called another angel and sent her to earth for a time.
When the angel returned she went to God and said, 'Yes, it's true. The earth is in decline; 95% are misbehaving, but 5% are being good...'
God was not pleased.
So He decided to e-mail the 5% who were good, because He wanted to encourage them, and give them a little something to help them keep going.
Do you know what the e-mail said?
Okay, I was just wondering, because I didn't get one either.

I dunno what just happened, but # 700 just happened three different times! :eek: :confused: :confused: :confused:


I think someone's deleting posts to falsely affect the post count!

First I had it, then "snubbyfan" had it, and now "kwselke" has it.

I call shenanigans! I call foul!


:D

I've been thinking about this event. I thought my post was 701 and came back a few minutes later and it was 700.

Last night on post 700 I used Quick Reply. In the past when using Advanced mode for posts I've submitted the post and immediately noted a typo. If I edit it fast there is no notation that it has been edited.

I'm thinking there must be some time delay between submission and the post being finalized and numbered.

I'm starting to drift now. You got 400 and 500, and I got 600 and 700. :p Snubby deserves 800. ;)

I didn't think it went that deep....
I just figured a couple questionable posts got removed by the Mods.

I have noticed the edit feature you mentioned though.



Maybe this place is like The Twilight Zone. :eek:
 
Isn't there a bar called the twilight zone? But maybe that post 700 was away from the zone for a moment to make his bladder gladder? Where is this thread going? I just bought a Henry 44 Mag rifle.( just wanted to make it gun related)
 
I hope to be in the running for a later thread "centennial", but I'm again in Texas visiting my folks, & my Dad's PC is set up weird to me, so I'm not able to do half the stuff I can on mine, which in its day was a hot rod. This one is just too slow. According to Lumosity my brain power has dropped quite a bit because this computer won't play the programs like I'm used too, but that might have happened anyway

I had a rather memorable Twilight Zone experience. Me and some buddies had been backpacking on the Appalachian Trail for 4 or 5 days completely disconnected from civilization. We came out of the woods at Harpers Ferry and there were people shooting at each other, wearing civil war uniforms.
For a moment there we were having a Twilight Zone moment. The tourists ended up paying more attention to us then the reenactors.

One of the more remembered TZ episodes.

"Twilight Zone" A Stop at Willoughby (TV Episode 1960) - IMDb

Ad agency executive Garth Williams has had a particularly rough day - his young protégé has left to work at another agency and took a $3 million account him. He falls asleep on the train home and wakes up in another place and another time. It's July 1888 and he's in the village of Willoughby, a peaceful town where life is easy. He comes to back in his own time but as the pressures of works and his home life continue to mount, he decides Willoughby is exactly where he would like to spend the rest of days. Written by garykmcd

Hey, wouldn't the tree-through-it busted shed be the -1 model, and the new one be a -2?

It seems to me that a tree through the shed is a "major change or revision".

Just sayin'....


:D :D :D :D

You can recognize a "no dash" by the large tree in it. My question is, are they safe for +P?
 
On the first day, God created the dog and said, "Sit all day by the door of your house and bark at anyone who comes in or walks past. For this, I will give you a life span of twenty years." The dog said, "That's a long time to be barking. How about only ten years and I'll give you back the other ten?"

And God saw it was good.

On the second day, God created the monkey and said, "Entertain people, do tricks, and make them laugh. For this, I'll give you a twenty-year life span." The monkey said, "Monkey tricks for twenty years? That's a pretty long time to perform. How about I give you back ten like the dog did?"

And God, again saw it was good.

On the third day, God created the cow and said, "You must go into the field with the farmer all day long and suffer under the sun, have calves and give milk to support the farmer's family. For this, I will give you a life span of sixty years." The cow said, "That's kind of a tough life you want me to live for sixty years. How about twenty and I'll give back the other forty?"

And God agreed it was good.

On the fourth day, God created humans and said, "Eat, sleep, play, marry and enjoy your life. For this, I'll give you twenty years." But the human said, "Only twenty years? Could you possibly give me my twenty, the forty the cow gave back, the ten the monkey gave back, and the ten the dog gave back; that makes eighty, okay?"

"Okay," said God, "You asked for it."

So that is why for our first twenty years, we eat, sleep, play and enjoy ourselves. For the next forty years, we slave in the sun to support our family. For the next ten years, we do monkey tricks to entertain the grandchildren. And for the last ten years, we sit on the front porch and bark at everyone.

Life has now been explained to you.

There is no need to thank me for this valuable information. I'm doing it as a public service.

EDC comfort is often overlooked, made fun of and poo - poo'd. Sometimes people try in intimidate EDC-er's.

Loctite and guns - do they mix? This subject keeps coming up - hence another thread for those who wonder.
