I have dry skin and I haven’t found anything that moisturizes my face as well as brown shoe polish. Do you think this will cause any problems when I’m walking around Compton this Saturday night?

lso, why do you want to do something you know has a pretty high risk of “freaking people out”? Are you so self-indulgent the concerns of others means little to you? Have you so little courtesy that you’d choose to make others fearful so you can indulge yourself?

You nailed it in one.
“Wait, officer! Just let me show you how connecting up this battery to this circuit will make this LED flash and a buzzer go off. You’ll lik…”
BANG!
Are threads routinely locked because of “stupid” questions?
Also, I see that **VCO3 ** has been around for a while. Has he deliberately created problems in the past?

I just got back from work-did I miss anything?
Wow! I’ve been pitted! It still counts if there are over 140 posts and only one person is pitting me, right?

Some say yes. The rest say ‘Is a bear Catholic? Does the Pope shit in the woods?’

For the first question, not really
For the second, yes, yes he has. See Bryan Ecker’s* post at #185 in this thread for an idea. He tends to go in cycles. He had to take an involuntary leave of absence not to long ago. When he came back he behaved himself for a while, but it looks like he might be beginning to slide again. It’ll start with a ridiculous OP in General Questions or Cafe Society, a mod will lock it, and VCO3 will start a pit thread why it got locked.
Check out Is Rape Real? for an example.
*Bryan, that was brilliant, but you get points off for not working porn somewhere in there. Urban pigeon coops would have given you bonus points.

Why would you say this? I barely EVER fly. I think I’ve flown once or twice since 9/11. I wasn’t even aware of these weird liquid bands until recently. I wanted to know if I was legally permitted to carry that stuff onboard or if it was banned, and then on an opinion level if others thought that would be problematic. Since it isn’t banned, I still really don’t think it would or should be a problem and am probably going to do it when I fly this Saturday. If anyone wonders what it is, I’ll show them how I can make a little LED flash or make a little buzzer squawk, and they’ll probably be delighted.
It’s NOT a stupid question.

Yeah, you just keep telling yourself that. :dubious:

I don’t see a fight. I see an agreement to share you (and WhyNot is certainly included in same).
VCO3 is starting to remind me of that andrew kid who was always asking stupid questions, starting really stupid threads, then whining because he didn’t get the answers he wanted.
I don’t think they’re the same person, just that they’re probably first cousins.
I go away for a couple of hours and when I come back, the mods are stuck together like dogs. Oh, the humanity!

(Yes, I think I was just whooshed, but on the other hand this is the one usage error that drives me straight up the wall.)
I feel bad for VCO3… especially since I try to take him at least somewhat seriously.
I simply can’t understand what it is about him that he can’t seem to see patterns and adjust accordingly.
We are obviously not accusing him of ACTUALLY building a hoax bomb, and repeatedly pointing out that, especially these days, the mere APPEARANCE of anything RESEMBLING a bomb is enough for a squad of cops to tackle you on sight, if not worse. It was NEVER ok, pre or post 9/11, to carry anything that resembled a bomb or even make joking threats about bombs in an airport. The more and more he continues to refuse obvious logic and easy to understand patterns, the more I’m inclined to stop viewing him as a misguided but potentially educatable (that’s not a word, is it…) poster and more as an intentional troll. shrug.
On that note, however, it does seem like a lot of people sit around specifically for an opportunity to jump VCO3, but then, if he’s a troll, I guess that’d be ok (except if you abide by DNFTT).

I mean, in the past WEEK we’ve had such Nobel contenders as “Wait, is this “confidence in a bottle” real!? How did they fit all that confidence in there?”, “Is it somehow magically true that it’s bad luck to light three cigarettes off of one match?” , and my favorite, “Why is there somehow a magical monster voice coming out of my laptop?” [all my own paraphrases to highlight the complete stupidity of the questions at hand] - and NONE of those were dismissed with “stupid question” and locked.

You are so full of shit. I looked at those three threads. Your “paraphrasing” is, in each case, a complete misrepresentation of the actual post; I don’t believe you’re stupid enough not to realize that, so that means you’re doing it deliberately, which kind of makes you a lying cunt. You owe each of those posters an apology. Unlike you, they all asked reasonable questions.
Look, if you want to start a thread debating the wisdom of “security” measures in airports and on airliners, just do it. This coy, disingenuous bullshit only makes you look like a puerile asshole. Which you are, and there’s nothing wrong with that, but don’t abuse it.
I’ve been reading this train wreck and finally noticed that VC03 was planning to try this brilliant stunt “this Saturday” and that his location is Chicago. I’m going to be flying into Chicago this Saturday. I’ll keep an eye out for any news of some lunatic being bounced off an outbound flight.
