How many times do you see a great thread get trashed or hijacked for various reasons and I'll take the "Stand" and say I'm the worst for doing that.. So when I'm acting stupid tell me to trash it here, get it?? Rants - Cheers - Pet Peeves - or your Aunt Lilly, bring it.. (More then likely the dumbest thread anybody started, but I tried to keep it stupid, stupid) - The Forum Moderators rules still apply, no obscene pics, raunchy language and personal attacks, those will be reported and deleted if not changed...

To Quote the Great Rick Becker.....
"When a perfectly valid and good question is asked, the thread gets a lot of great answers and some more questions. Once the questions has been answered to each persons (this includes you and me) satisfaction, we no longer need or want the discussion to continue.
We get the emails notifying us that another (and another and another and another...) post has been made and we get frustrated with the time wasting and we get snarky.
The other thing that seems to happen all too often is a post gets hijacked. The discussion moves off of the initial topic (ONE and TWO...) into many sub topics. Sometimes this happens and the initial question hasn't been totally answered."
Another Great Quote from Dennis Dohogne
"Hey, SWX guys and gals, what if we used THIS post for some of our more fun or tangential comments so we keep the other posts with more serious discussions from getting distracted/off-topic (polluted)?"
How about this from BMX'rerer Todd Blacksher
- In an effort to keep the posts somewhat on topic, and make it easy to pick out the "good information," a couple of us thought it would be a good idea to put in a water cooler. Are you completely confused? It's simple, if there is a thread where we are all helping someone find a solution, and it makes you think of something semi-related, you can say "Head over to "The Kitty Dump"
We need a good quote from Kelef Man to get it started.....
Save the Kitty Litter (Google) and Search with dogpile.com - the best search engine in town....

...just reminded me of Statler & Waldorf in the balcony... "Tomato Tossers"
well John Stoltzfus
as my boss said at the HEP station "no pressure then"
while in principle I can see the watercooler being right
where "nope- not talking about you or your problem for now"
and pearls of wisdom such as-
"no never hit a man when he's down-
kick him- your feet are nearer"
or "in the good auld days......."
(for myself I heard 100 times a day "before the war we...."
and
"when young'ens had respect for their elders,
the long haired yobos"
I prefer to misquote the most misquothen
from The One and Only Julius Robert
"There are students and interns
playing on their iPads
who could solve some of our greatest problems in design and invention,
because they have modes of sensory perception and vision
that I have lost too long ago.......
No one should be released from our schools and universities
without knowing how little they know-
or will ever know"
and as for the kitty dump
I feel we may miss out on the greats-
like this one-......

I must respectively disagree with the sample you picked.
Every reply was Spot-On-Target for the original poster.
I can't see a single answer that swerved from the topic at hand.
Great Likenesses
Désolé monsieur Rick,
I respectfully agree- even though
the OP headed for the hills
t'was all misunderstood then
kelef
Nope, me neither!

Very fitting!

Missing office item for Edward Poole & John Stoltzfus -
There isn't a beer fridge "in the office", but there is this . . .
It's the picture on the far right side of the desk.
(I have some of my favorite pictures on the wall, just like you would at your "regular desk.")
You did it John, You made the Thread!
