| Save me from repeating the past........Show me examples of classic screwups so that I will not embarass my good name |
|
There was that guy who's buddy gave him an M16 because he was apparently bored with it.
Trying to remember that kids screen name......I'd know if if I heard it. ETA - it was "Napalm" I think...couldnt find anything in the archives so I'm guessing the thread got trashed. Would have been back around 4 years ago. I dont know why I remember this stuff. |

If you received it in an Email that was FWD: to you, chances are it's already been up... same with news, check first. 2. Use the spellcheck. I'm pretty sure you have to pay for it in the form of a team membership. If not, SPELLCHECK IT ANYWAY. 
3. Do not lie, or try and pull some BS because it's teh internetz. Somehow, the hive has the most acute BS olfactory senses on the planet. You will get found out... Can't think of anything else, this is all I tend to go by. Of course, an epic fail on a big enough scale, becomes a win. So either fail big time, or don't post it.

ETA: Whatever happens between your anus and a shotgun shell, should stay between you and said shotgun shell. We do not want to know. Walmart drawdowns are okay up to post 1000, then no more. |

the 'longbow' thread!!! I wish I had a link! ETA: An arfcomer basically faked an online argument with his "anti-gun mother in law", and posted as the MIL under his normal screen name.... EPIC FAIL That was a good one, I remember that... forgot to log out and change screen name and put the wrong argument up with the original screen name. |

Two threads off the top of my head:
1) scottryan and his "upper level management" thread... 2) a while before the election, when some poster started a thread questioning McCain's leadership ability because apparently he was the one who shot the rocket that blew up all the planes on his aircraft carrier...God that was stupid. |

We actually have one in the making right now:

Wasn't me. I don't know why you "remember" this stuff either. Thread failures: frdmftr and his psychopolitician call-out list N_T booting his stuff down the driveway DK-Prof's goose thing the Ryan's Steakhouse Incident is good for a laugh |

EPIC FAIL I believe it was sister in law. What ever it was, it was FUCKING FUNNY!!! I think HEAVY_METAL was the poster who was able to call his BS before he slipped up. I would love a link if anyone has it. |

NEVER state that you think the nutcases at Waco were wrong for killing ATF agents and setting themselves on fire and that it was NOT the FBI/ATF's fault.
NEVER state that McVeigh was a nutcase terrorist who actually blew up the OKC fed building and that it was NOT the .gov actually doing it and framing poor McV for the act, even though there is NO evidence of this conspiracy theory or any fucking reason for it in the first place. NEVER, NEVER, EVER even mention these things even in passing or the thread will go instantly epic, go about 87 pages and you will be called every bad word out there along with near death threats. And you will be called a troll. |

What, not Timmy McVeigh Thread mention? Too recent? No, no link, I'll leave that to N_T since it was his thread. uh, IIRC, that was a pretty decent discussion from both sides. I'll consider the source on that one. ah, i see... you're one of those guys who thinks a thread is an epic failure if you don't agree with the OP

Hell, if there weren't this thread would be BORING. |
