While we are complaining....

[truckemup97]

What's with folks digging up three, four, or even five year old threads? I keep opening what I think will be an interesting thread, only to find I commented on it in 2009!!! Cut it out, fellas! Let the past die! Focus on the future!

JUST KIDDING, O.K.?

All the recent zombie threads have caused me to reconsider my home defenses!

I like the term "zombie threads" that somebody came up with on here. Wish I'd thought of it myself.

Threads that come back from the dead.

As for the rest of the whole Zombie Apocalypse thing, I gotta confess that I just don't get it. I have a hunch it's the biggest joke around for those who participate in it, but I'm an outsider to those insiders.

Anyway, truckemup, those of us who weren't around here in 2009 do enjoy reading some of those old gems. I've caught myself replying to one or two before realizing how old they are and how ridiculous it sounds to chime in, here three years later.

I have seen the same especialy on some likes. I see a new one every once in awhile, click on it to see who I fooled and it also might be on something I wrote a few years ago. Now I know how those pretty girls that are stalked feel!

Bear gun - .22Short Just shoot your buddy in the knee with it and run.

Cheapest - Ain't no such thing in the gun world anymore.

Hope that helps.

I think the first time I saw the expression was in one of Lost Lake's posts. I've done the same thing;start replying & then realize that I'm about two or three years too late.

 

[feralmerril]

How did I do?
(Always want to reply, "Ya got took!" But I am too nice.)

Someone will let you know in a couple of years!

......and did we ever find bigfoot?
I thought I smelled one one time, but it may have been another patron of that particular juke joint.

Anybody have a connection for cheap tinfoil?

 

[kozmic]

I admit I cringe when I see the word "broccoli" show up but most of the old stuff is new to me and I usually find them an interesting read.

If you can find a truckload deal on tinfoil, I have a truck.

Oh, and that was probably me you smelled. Size 14 boots, dontcha know.

Tinfoils all being bought up by homeland security. I read it on the interwebs. I saw an 18 wheeler with giant rolls of it disguised as drill stem and irrigation pipe. Can't fool me.

Darned if you do. Darned if you don't.

Hmmm.... Let me see.... If someone starts a new thread with a question or info that was addressed in an old thread, they are told by someone that they should have done a search and found the old thread. If someone finds an old thread and then adds a new question or info to it, they are told by someone they shouldn't have resurected the old thread - it's dead.

Maybe it kinda stinks not to be one of the old timers here.

Yeah, I too get tired of rehashing some stuff, but I tell myself that the other guy posting has just as much right as I to post, and there just may be something new added that I either didn't know or hadn't thought of.

I'm sure glad my first, last and only poll is ending forever at 6pm this evening.

I spotted this black helicopter on Wednesday. I'm pretty sure that line puts electricity in my house. I've been using batteries until I find out more.

Other forums show the thread start date as well as the latest post date and time. That way you can spot zombie threads before opening them and becoming infected.

Sometimes I sit at the computer with a nice hot cup of tea and open a thread, and start reading without looking at the date of the original posting. When I get to page six I need a pee. By the time I have finished peeing I have forgotten what I was doing, and make a cup of tea. I then start doing something else, maybe some gardening or decorating, until I need the next pee. I finish up with half drunk cups of cold tea all around the house.

Eventually I return to the computer and start reading the same thread from page one because I have forgotten that I had already read six pages. This time I have a glass of whisky. It doesn't matter if it gets cold, because it was cold to start with.

I have now forgotten why I started writing this, but no doubt it will come back to me. In the meantime I will post my ramblings before my computer loses its memory.

You're just over analyzing it, oh wait that's what you were trained to do. (nudge nudge, wink wink).
