So what's this about banning for hijacking threads?

[celestina]

:innocent eyes:

Oh dear, I’m confoosed. :0( Would somebody tell me what constitutes a hijack?

I’d heard a rumor that people who hijack threads with complete non sequiturs will be banned? WTF? Is this a new rule?

Oh heavens yes. We are now making a number of official rule changes. Posters will be notified of these new rules through vague suggestions made by random members of an IRC chatroom that is not in any way affiliated with the boards.

We think that’s the most logical way to do it. snort

You’re notifying posters about rule change?

Buncha wimps!

But, we know who you are and this isn’t chat. Are we supposed to not believe you?
New software and sarcasm is more than I can handle.

Oh, don’t get all smarmy with me, ya weenie. I just wanted to know from whence the rumor sprung, and, as already linked, it was rooted in a thread on the temp board (one which I - amazingly! - hadn’t read).

(shocked, hurt look that someone would suggest I’d lie when it is easy to prove that I did)

Proof will have to wait until the board speeds up. I don’t want to slow the board down with a search.

(That oughta buy me a bit of time!)

[wring]

Nice try, droppy, but all the threads from December something or other until the hack have been lost.
BWaaahahahahahahaha

Tavalla, I just got your sig. After seeing it I don’t know how many times. (Do we have a “duh” smiley?)
(It is a mouse, right?)

Yep, it’s a computer mouse : pause for groan :

Actually, you haven’t seen it that many times - I only changed it to the mouse since the board reopened, so you don’t need the duh.

Stoid that is one of my favorite jokes!

If you’re running through a forest and your cannoe gets a flat, how many pancakes does it take to build a dog house?
12 cause…Ice cream has no bones!

But you gotta’ say it really fast to really messed up people.

Oh wait?!
You mean that wasn’t the OP? Shit!
Guess I’m outta here with the rest of you.

It just occurs to me that :o should be coded as “:hummer:”.

Don’t you think?

Cars equipped with Lowjack are recovered over 95% of the time within 24 hours of being stolen.

Incidentally, what eventually happened to D.B. Cooper?

y’know, hijacking and all…

We don’t. Perhaps you mean Daylight Saving Time? **

Quite common, evidently. *Perhaps * you’re a pedantic :wally

Tell time by the U.S. Atomic Clock -The official U.S. time that governs ship movements, radio stations, space flights, and warplanes. With small radio receivers hidden inside our timepieces, they automatically syncronize to the U.S. Atomic Clock (which measures each second of time as 9,192,631,770 vibrations of a cesium 133 atom in a vacuum) and give time which is accurate to 1 second every million years. Our timepieces even account automatically for daylight savings time , leap years, and leap seconds.

NOAA satellites use Zulu Time or Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as their time reference. The satellite images that appear on NOAA’s Web sites are stamped in Zulu time.

To make the conversion to your local time, see the chart below. Find your local time in the first column. If you are on Eastern Daylight Savings Time (EDT), you would use the second column to find your Zulu Time/UTC. For instance, if it’s 11 a.m. Eastern Daylight Savings Time in Washington, D.C., it’s 1500 hours in Zulu time/UTC

does anybody know what kind of glue i should use to attach marbles to my bowling ball its going to go outside and will in the sun and cold so temperatures from 0 to 100

[Nenya_Elizabeth]

Does anybody know where I can get a good Grade 11/12 chemistry course by distance ed, preferably Canadian?

However, the burning question is, Dave316, what on earth are you doing up at the ungodly hour of 8 am on a Saturday???

(Actually, I’m dying to know what you’re doing with those marbles and bowling ball?!)

[dave316]

i will be using the bowling ball as a substitute for a gazing ball (those silver looking globe things you see in peoples yards )
They are more durable than gazing balls and also very cheap Since i got this bowling ball for a dollar at goodwill . You can also attach coins, buttons or just paint them with metallic paint
