Hmm, since I was already kissing **Marley’s** beautiful behind in the other thread, do I need to do it here? Quandary Oh hell, go for the safest! I’m sure you’ll do a great job!!! 😃 ---

That was the funniest satire on the design of that stupid panel and it’s almost invisible unless you’re watching for it. I know, right? Obviously, the designers did not have to submit to either QA or a technical writer! > [@Exapno\_Mapcase](#): > > Oh, and just so I can contribute one obscure fact to save face for being too late to the party, that cartoon is a parody of [[The Further Adventures of] Ma and Pa Kettle](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0041613/) and the ultramodern, push-button house they win in a contest. This I did not know, because they are a bit before my time. Thank you, I suspect there will be searching on youtube for this, at least. ---

> [@Marley23](#): > > Before my joke gets out of hand, I should explain seriously that I did ban one IP address this morning right before whatever happened happened. The obvious inference is that that ban caused the big lockout. Hmmm, possibly you’re taking this Administerminator title too seriously. ---

So you get a pay raise for this, right? If not, do you accept paypal donations? Just kidding. Sort of.
