The Warning I got in the Bond thread.

Do not read this post under penalty of law.

I’m not worried, I use Bertrand Russell’s attorney. He’s expensive, but he works hard - he represents everyone who doesn’t represent themselves.

Not only do I not understand this thread, I don’t understand half the posters who posted in it.

I don’t think this is going to be an issue.

I’m confused. Does this refer to a newsletter or a magazine? Can I subscribe?

Heh. This reminds me of when Mark and Brian (L.A. morning drive jocks at the time) snuck some equipment into Graceland and did a live remote for their show. They got caught, brought into Elvis jail and dressed down by the head of security. Besides saying that he wished he could drag them out onto Beale Street and shoot them, he slapped them with lifetime Being-a-Fan-of-Elvis Ban, meaning that they’re forbidden to enter Graceland, own any Elvis memorabilia, and enjoy any Elvis music.

I cannot believe no one has taken the mod to task for using “disinterested” instead of “uninterested”.

That’s my issue with the mod note.

Man, you guys have gotten soft since I stepped down.

I would have but I was disinterested.

Modulator Warning

Right. IvoryTowerDenizen, this is an official joke warning for being too intelligent to post in this thread.

Reporting the post for reporting the post because it means they understood the thread.

ETA: Oh shit. Does that mean I understand the thread?

[Guinastasia]

@Czarcasm

Once again: It has never meant that. This is the first time in the over twenty years I’ve participated on these boards that the possibility that the mods meant “do not look at this thread!” when they told someone not to return was even brought up, and I couldn’t even begin to figure out how the mods could enforce such an order.

Oh for god’s sake. :smack:

[Left_Hand_of_Dorkness]

I’m worried, because I’m pretty sure I understand this thread, but Colibri’s warning about warnings about understanding the thread contradict’s aceplace’s advice on how to change my car’s oil, so I’m not sure what to do about that.

Agreed. Since the OP was clearly not disinterested, the warning is meaningless.

@Kropotkin

Agreed. Since the OP was clearly not disinterested, the warning is meaningless.

Well, the OP was not “misinterested” in a female Bond. Hmmm. Would that be “not missinterested” or “dismissed interest”?

All jokes aside, I believe there was talk of belt onions at one point? Is there a preferred type of onion for this?

White onions of course.

White onions of course.

The yellow onions are a couple of bees cheaper.

Before you fry, you see the onion ring.
