The biggest cover up in ARFCOM history.

The secret can never come out about the range report. I'm a former member of the "range report" hit squad that took out members that asked about it. They fired me for cutting out vocal cords and cutting off fingers instead of just killing people that asked to much about it. STOP asking.

it's been talked about to much already.

You must be mistaken. There was never any such thing as a "range report".

Or a forum of just the "best" threads...

The Carwash Draw Down

That one of the stuffed animal pics all over the world.

"You can't bring fire on a plane!"

Most Air$oft threads (esp. with pics...)

There are some real, laugh-out-loud threads that don't deserve to go away.

I see (and am told that I sometimes write) some single posts that, with a few words of introduction for context would be classics. This is what made me think of it. In this thread my description of the Congressmen backing an AWB renewal drew the concluding suggestion by ARDUNSTAN:

Quoted:
They are the usual suspects: a reliable nest of communists, traitors, crumb-snatchers, beggars, thieves, and hydraulic lawn-jockeys, spewing self-righteousness and entitlement at the flip of a switch. They are the pixel-sized elements of the target at which Jehovah's almighty J-Dam of vengeance will be directed on judgment day, whe He at last determines to cleanse the Earth. The eyeless, multi-eared exoskeletal vermin gnawing the marrow of the bones of such as Jefferson and Madison, they flee with a gut churning skitter whenever the Constitution is invoked. They are the conscientious remnant, who can be relied upon to speak truth to power - and loudly - so long as the grand jury is out of session and the per diem is guaranteed. They are so many 3 pound blocks of government cheese with carboard wrappers and arms and legs and character which being neither hot nor cold must be spat out. With every breath they draw they argue forcefully for monarchy or oligarchy or anarchy or any archy but the archy that got drunk and shit them out near the levers of power. Their mere living indicts Abraham for having importuned the Almighty in advance of His cleansing of Sodom and Gomorrah. They breathe and thereby beg Jesus to reconsider, to invert time, and to remain in the bosom of the Trinity, aloof from the sufferings of His poor creatures. Individually, they are proof that .22 long rifle cartridges cost too much to waste; collectively, they are a fleshy, self-inking rubber stamp reading "Deposit Only" and visible only on the back of a welfare check. One day they will die. Thank God that even then rats and roaches will hunger, or those Democratic stalwarts' lives would have been entirely devoid of purpose.

Heaven grant that a hundred years hence, in the pre-dawn gloom of some dusty crossroad, a penniless, toothless vagabond without fortune, hope, or prospect may find that an undercooked tamale has forced him to seek untimely relief for the griping of his bowels; that he may thoughtlessly squat over the open end of a trickly culvert and in the groaning release of his tired and crusty bung shit upon their unmarked and disremembered grave.

You know L1A, you should write an anthology of these brooding, razor-like missives you
so effrortlessly create.

"You can't bring fire on an airplane."

"There is a Tyranny Sneaking Up On You." and It's companion screed against the ARFCOM Psychopoliticians.

"Carwash Drawdown."

"Aquabumping"

These threads would also help explain a lot to newbies several terms seen frequently on ARFCOM.

Don't you people learn? Stop asking!
While back a n00b decided to post pics of himself, and his girl and him raw doggin her. He was new and didn't know any better. It went several pages, a ton of IBTLs, etc etc etc before someone contacted him to let him know about the violation so he didn't get banned. He got the photos edited out, and EVERYONE got their posts edited to cover for him. He changed the name of the title to "The range report" It's the biggest coverup in arfcom history.

Btw, if ask real nice, and pay for one of the "I'd rather hunt with Cheney than ride with Kennedy" bumperstickers I'll send you the 2 surviving pics

No response from the mods? Did I burn the wrong incense?

In my personal opinion...NO

Pinned items are for important anouncements, keep it that way.

Edited to add - the idea may fly in the Team Forum however.

I think that thread a while back with the pirate would had a good chance if it wouldnt have been locked so quickly.

Am I right, shipmates?

The "Can Ye Smell It?" thread was the funniest I've seen in a long time...

I have no idea why the mods locked and trashed it...

I must admit the uber-gay "church function back rub" ranked way up there on the classic thread list.
