Disappointed it wasn’t about somebody’s 2 inch tall green fashion plate poodle…
How do you get stereo from a pancake speaker?
For some reason I imagined one of those financial seminars at IHOP and OP is looking for advice to ensure the door prize is a stereo.
I wasn’t sure what that style speaker is called. Pancake? Skillet? Hockey Puck? Cow Pie?
/shrug/ I was hungry and went with pancake. 
It’s an unique shape for this post boomer. I’m used to boxy shaped speakers.
The “Dragon vs Starliner instrument panel” thread makes me think dude_roberts is back: “Who would win in a fight, a dragon or a Starliner instrument panel?”
I pit Elmo and his Tesla heist
I trying to figure out how Elmo the muppet heisted Tesla. The thread doesn’t seem to have anything about Elmo in it. Is “Elmo” a typo for Elon? Is it a epithet for Elon? I can’t figure it out. (I didn’t read the whole thread.)
“Elmo” is the standard pejorative nickname for Elon Musk and has been used all over the internet for a couple of years now.
They (the OP) meant Las Vegas and you see Chevy Vegas.
Now I’ve got sorta the opposite problem. Here they (the OP) meant people who don’t eat animal products and I see “people who live in Las Vegas”:
How dare you criticize my home town! Besides, your tourist shirts and dirty crocs are tacky; at least dress up better than at Wal*Mart to come here and pay my taxes! Damned proles ruining everything! And quit bogarting the crab legs!!1!
I thought this thread would be a polemic against people who dine on too much broccoli:
Jackmannii in the other thread thought this one said “Prom”…
Tennessee’s New Pron law–How does it affect me?
…while I thought it had to do with pronouns, maybe the newfangled gender-neutral singular “they” or such.
That was my first reaction too. Probably some anti-woke-pronouns thing, but maybe it’ll be about porno. Once I opened the thread to find out which I haven’t had the problem of still misunderstanding the thread every time I see it. Which often happens to me when the first impression is really strongly in the wrong direction.
I took this to mean that someone never had peanuts that weren’t on a kebab or something…
I admit I opened that one because I could not come up with any sensible meaning to the title.
Mr Bear: Hey Mr. Rabbit! Do you have a problem with peanuts sticking to your fur?
I took it to mean the OP was trying to find peanuts that didn’t have a bunch of sticks and stems and whatnot mixed in.
Here I was trying to figure out what style or technique “white vinyl” was, and if it would help you win your match, a la Bonetti’s Defense or Capa Ferro…
Unless the enemy has studied his Agrippa…
Was this seriously your initial response? Or did you think it gave you an opportunity to post in this thread?
I used to fence, and am quite aware that fencing can apply to sport or barriers. But if I saw a reference to Oympic fencing, I woul dnot assume they were referring to barriers.
This is twice today where you seem to have taken offense at my reply, in two threads where yes quite a few of the established norms are that some posts can be tongue-in-cheek and all in good fun.
In this case the first keyword I glommed onto was indeed “fencing”, but it did take just a second or so to figure out which kind you were referring to. Yeah then I came here with it. So what?
In the other case, I thought you, the OP, would have heartily agreed with and chuckled along with my misreading, and was rather mystified that you felt the need to explain yourself in a totally pointless manner.
Lighten up.
Not a thread title, but a headline on ABC News’ website that puzzled me:
Girl accused of smothering cousin over iPhone
That must’ve been one hell of a conversation…
