I DID NOT put the very last item in!


(by the way I hate that garemin "twisted" emoticon, so I changed it to a better one)

i was only smirking until the last one....then I actually laughed out loud......120% true based on my observations

LOL too accept for the last one.... since I just dug up an old post myself... and am NOT a lurker....
Maybe you could change it to 1 Ass-Hat......

LoL...

I remember posting this on ADN...It is fairly true for the most part... /laugh.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":lol:" border="0" alt="laugh.gif" />

LOL! Maybe we should plug some names into each of those roles.

Before we do that, can you clarify 1 thing? Are we talking fluorescent or incandescent? /wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=";)" border="0" alt="wink.gif" />

"6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to

hilarious!!


nice post Pete...thats funny shit!

Most of them were good but the one that really cracked me up was the one about the forum lurker who brings it back up 6 months later. LMAO!!!

Forgot the ones to say "Why the fuck did you bump this, you shithead with one post?" after someone bumps it.

THEN it starts over because people have different lightbulb (light bulb, anyone?) issues.

Then the forum crashes. Everything is lost.

AYHJA moves his site around a few times because he's fed up with one host.

Then the same post happens again.

Repeat the WHOLE process.

Depending on your theories/beliefs, world/universe eventually ends or something wipes out all life sometime in the future, thus ending the vicious cycle.

Then someone argues that although probability indicates that the end of the universe/world or total extinction is likely to happen at one point in time or another, nothing is saying it must and therefore it may never end, however likely it is.

With 96 posts....I'm impressed.


Nice post btw...I liked the grammar/spelling....then the people who flame them for correcting....then the people correcting the flamers....good stuff all around though.
