Thanks for quoting it, Frink!

AdBlock Plus Element Hider to the rescue!

I had a dream that I was staying at my parents’ house; my Mum was doing washing in a dressing gown looking very tired and dishevelled, and seemed really pissed off at me. I asked “What did I do?” and she said "You keep freaking out and when I ask what’s wrong you keep screaming “I can’t tell you!”.

What had happened was this - four or five of my friends and I were camping on top of a mountain near where I used to live and we stumbled upon this Mad Max type encampment where a hundred or so local outlaws lived, racing and jumping dune buggies and dirtbikes in a giant dirt half-pipe, drinking and doing drugs and generally being outlaws.

We wandered in and were hanging out watching the dune buggies when someone realized we didn’t belong there, and yelled out for the guards to capture us. We got away and hid from them but were then discovered and ended up in a huge battle. We blew up some of their camp and got away but then they were about to find our camp and there was no escape because we were practically camped on the edge of a cliff.

So we made a trap using a rope net and placing it on the next highest escarpment with some of our gear. The dozen or so outlaws that were about to find us were tricked into going up there and then we all pulled the net down, tumbling the bad guys off the escarpment and into the valley below.

I had been trying to block out the incident, but I broke down and told my Mum that we had been at war with a local gang and that we had only just managed to escape and “I think a few people might have even died!”

Thanks for the advice guys. I have been using AdBlock Plus for years - it’s a fantastic add-on and I never see ads on YouTube (or virtually anywhere for that matter). I used Chrome for a while but there were a few things that bugged me and I ended up back on Firefox. I think I am just going to make an account; I guess I can just delete it if things become even more annoying, but I doubt that’s possible.

AdBlock Plus Element Hider is great too, you can use it to block signature images, animated gifs and bunny skyscrapers. On the same topic of blocking unwanted/harmful crap, you can use your hosts file in Windows to block websites and popups that persist despite your browser settings: Blocking Unwanted Connections with a Hosts File The page makes it look fiddly but it is just a matter of finding the location, backing up the original and replacing it with the hosts file provided. You can also add to it yourself using Notepad.

I find YouTube sucks. Should I just go ahead and make an account so that I can block unwanted recommendations and purveyors of clickbait? Is it possible to filter out the garbage to some extent? I usually hate signing up to things, but I am beginning to reconsider.

Those are the same as the ones in my Posters.rar if you downloaded that. I didn’t include the second one as the quality was poor, but the best one is here. Here is the full painting but very small and blurry.

Probably due to my own fear of death, there seems a huge difference between a death depicted on film (no matter how graphic) and seeing a real person actually lose their life. My fear of penises must rank a lot lower, because the difference between a simulation and the real thing seems a lot less significant.

Speaking of people getting fake bitten in half…

The Shallows
There aren’t many good shark movies. I enjoy Jaws, Jaws 2, Open Water, The Reef, and even find Deep Blue Sea entertaining though ridiculous. (I did get a bit of a laugh out of Sharknado 2: The Second One, but wouldn’t watch it again). Added The Shallows to my list.  6/10

Movies aren’t real. I have no problem with someone getting fake bitten in half, I don’t want to see it for real.

Real stuff happens too. I was a Surgical Tech in the Army. I’m sure I saw stuff that would probably make you reconsider at least half the stuff you’ve probably done in your life and maybe even half the stuff you’re still thinking about doing.

Yeah, I rarely swim in the ocean any more. Bull sharks also make it into land-locked bodies of water as juveniles and then grow to full size. Also why I stick to the bail sections on official skate videos and steer clear of YouTube compilations. Don’t need to see people getting killed by cars or cracking their heads open either. Especially since I don’t wear a helmet. Probably should reconsider that…

YouTube is fucking ridiculous sometimes. You have to register and confirm your age to see a video that might have partial nudity in it, but try to look up something about sharks and you are instantly greeted with pictures of a dead surfer who has been literally bitten in half and other grisly shark attack videos. Then it recommends more videos of people dying or being injured in horrific ways… WHAT THE FUCK.

Except for that last one it just looks like his side cape dealie is pulled around to the front.

Why can’t R2-D2 make some new beeps? He just says the same shit over and over…

I was talking to greenie (I made his avatar, hence the wink), but yours is nice too!

Hey! Nice avatar  ; )

Godzilla vs. Magilla Gorilla

Screw Crystal Pepsi, I want a goddamn Pepsi Perfect without paying a fortune on eBay for it. Limited edition bull-ish…

I’m sure most people have seen them before, but anyway…

(Photobucket kinda sucks… any suggestions for what I should use instead?)

You ALL have a niece who is African-American? What a strange coincidence.

Good thread! I included Mondo stuff with my posters upload in the Covers section, but it appears I am behind the times. The ones by Olly Moss are still my favourite, particularly Star Wars and Empire. Can’t be arsed posting them right now… sorry  : )

I suspect the devs at Malwarebytes might be Wu-Tang fans.

How the fuck is my pizza supposed to cook properly in this stupid Euromaid oven which has the element at the top?? I’ve tried putting it right down the bottom, tried no tray, tried oil… I think I’m going to have to cook the underside of the base prior to making the damn pizza in future.

Are you sure that’s not a grill or a convection oven?

It virtually was a grill… turns out the fan was broken. Not the fan I could hear that blows hot air into my living room, but the one that actually does something useful.

I would like to state for the record that I HATE PACKING/MOVING.

Sorry to hear about your friend Ray.

People were getting sick of the computer, I thought a virus might be a good way to get rid of it. I took DE’s ball and ran with it. I’m pretty sure he sent no PMs, that was all me.

Maybe it’s telling that it was Jetrell Fo and HansiG that enjoyed the idea, or maybe you’re all a bunch of babies who wouldn’t try a fun way to end the schtick by turning the tables on Frink. Apologies to those who care, and for the record I never complained to the mods.

WHY DID I HAVE TO BE CLONE 1? SLAVE 1 SOUNDS A LOT COOLER.
CARP, I'M A SLAVE!

WELL MET CLONE 2. WAS YOUR CLONING PROCESS INCOMPLETE?
