Misread thread titles

Frankenstorm hits on election day–what happens?

Ah, this revived 2012 thread:

London Death Pump

I did not mis-read it, but I did hear it in Nigel Tufnel’s voice.

The thread has been around for a while, but today’s the first time I skimmed past it and read the title as asking if teenagers who claim to be trains are just acting out.

Hehe, on first glance I read your link as “Lincoln Death Pump” and went through “So, they install death pumps on Lincolns, now?” and “Surely, they’re trying to pump the death out of the Lincoln division” before I read it correctly.

Whole lotta Lincoln owners might need the sort of pump, or paddles, that postpones death for awhile.

I think I’m being scammed by a progressive. If they ask you to donate to “polka dot lives matter” or to the goFundMe for their cousin’s transition surgery into an Apache attack helicopter, they’re probably just faking being a progressive.

I need to be educated about dish cameras

Just in case, you know, the dish tried to run away with the spoon.

Not a misread thread title, a title I misread when I tuned into The Today Show this morning. But it doesn’t seem consequential enough to start its own thread…

So I turn on the TV, haven’t had my coffee yet, and the topic title at the bottom looks like:

RAISIN BRAN ANEURYSM AWARENESS

I think for one second, “now Raisin Bran is bad for us? What’s next, Wheaties cause cancer?”

Then I blink the sleep out of my eyes and refocus:

RAISING BRAIN ANEURYSM AWARENESS

Reusing, recycling ideas at work

If you’re going to recycle your coworker’s ideas, you should at least give them credit for them.

Saw a doozy over at the ESPN website.

Thieves ripped off Dodger pitcher Buehler’s arm, cops say.

I know what they say about million dollar arms, but jeez.

Why do hurricanes stay organised?

The power of unions, of course.

Let’s see Pinkerton break up this battle line!

Should we import Chinese Erotic Vehicles?

Can’t wait to test drive one.

Cannibal businesses can’t get insurance?

No. No, they can’t.

Wrong thread.


I’m done with the doobie-smoking cannibals from now on.

A lightly religious, but serious math question

Does it have something to do with the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin?

Sadly, the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin turns out to be zero.

Angels can’t dance to save their immortal lives.

Is there an online place I can buy tinted kitten herrings?

Cat following drones.

Look, its sleeping, should I wait?
