Waiter, waiter, there's an Catholicgalactic Gargleblaster in my soup! | |
For no discernible reason, posts to this category are most often the work of newbies, whose ideas usually run along the lines of: "My [male] genitals look like a turkey drumstick if I pull on them and look into a mirror at the same time".
Posting anything to this category launches a popup, showing
the Help File and [krelnik]'s Be Kind To Newbies Day website, or whatever it is.
It might help to moderate the moderators' moderation effort, moderately?

Linky for the super lazy [Jinbish, Oct 07 2004]

Oddly enough I've only seen two posts on that topic, and [UB]'s been the author to both. |
|
| |
I don't like the idea of popups if for no other reason than the latest windows update allows you to block them. But bringing you to a page that has those links isn't a bad idea. |
|
| |
Shouldn't this be in other: [general]? |
|

[World], late one night a few years ago there was a troll who kept going on about this cool thing he'd discovered about his (presumably recently surgically added) genitals. [bristolz] removed the idea and the user after he got a little too excited. |
|
| |
I think the idea he posted was called Chicken Leg, or Chicken Drumstick. It was pretty bad... enough that it has stuck with me for years. [bris] may remember it, too. |
|
| |
Heh. That's great and terrible at once. |
|
| |
As in "Oz, The Gweat & Tewwible"? |
|
| |
I recently installed a popup blocker on my notebook, not realising it would stop a popup app on one of my own websites. Doh! |
|
| |
Hey UB, well now my feelings are hurt, my Creature Scratcher was moved to Other:General, and I have no idea why. isn't it a product? |
|
| |
I vaguely recall that there was once a bug that moved ideas to Other:General. Since we're looking at an old copy of the software, maybe it's back? I can't recall the timeframe nor whether it was discovered or introduced at that time. |
|
| |
I think it unlikely that an admin would have moved it there. |
|
| |
Yeah, that bug had something to do with hitting new in a certain context, or perhaps editing your own idea after posting. Other: general would get selected in the category list box instead of the correct existing category context. |
|
| |
Thanks [Half] I moved it back, let's see if it stays put. |

You mean, Pan Galactic right. I really
can't stand those Pan Galactic Gargle
Blasters, so often times I will order
myself a Virgin Galactic. |
|
| |
Inter, Pan, All-encompassing, Catholic... whatever. |
|
| |
Actually, Catholicgalactic sounds pretty cool. |
