An Absolutely Amazing Discovery

[Pedersen]

Before I go off on the thing I most hate, I have to mention something I just found on this board. Honestly, I think it might be the most important discovery ever found in this entire forum.

You see, I noticed a hidden button this morning. I, like many others, had never seen it before. I decided I would click it, and see what would happen.

But, before I tell you what did happen, let me tell you what did not happen.

• The universe did not implode into a new singularity, awaiting a subsequent explosion to give birth to a new universe.
• The galaxy did not start spinning in the opposite direction, throwing all into chaos and wiping out any/all life that might be contained therein.
• Our sun did not go supernova, incinerating the earth.
• No new wars broke out.
• No natural disasters were reported.
• My computer did not catch on fire, or otherwise cease to function.

In fact, as far as I can tell, absolutely nothing negative happened.

What did happen?

I found myself on a page, just like I would be replying to a post. But... There was nothing to reply to. It was empty. I could put in a new title, and a new message. I could make it anything I wanted.

The power! The phenomenal power of it all! I could type anything, since I didn't have to reply to anybody, or stick to any topic! I giggled maniacally with laughter, and then began my plotting... Yes, soon, soon I would give voice to my own ideas, without regard for topic!

This was, and is, simply amazing. There's no other term for it. I hope you can all share in the joy, and the power. Let the maniac giggling commence!

Oh, that button... I suppose you want to know which button I clicked, don't you? Well, I won't tell you. It's my precious, and you nasty peopleses can'ts have it, no. My precious "New Thread" button.

*pets the precious while gazing lovingly at it*

I've decided that the design in the upper right hand corner looks like an old man's hairy ear.

Kind of skeeves me out now....

[ArenaBoy]

Call me dense (In this case incredibly dense) but you're making fun of that particle thing right?

[Pedersen]

Damn, seems my sarcasm is lost. I'd say wit, but wit has to be understandable to *be* wit. Which means it can't have been that.

I was trying to get across to people to make a new thread rather than derailing existing ones.

Also pointing out that I'm as bad as others.

[AFPheonix]

No, I got your sarcasm, and chose to be a turd and derail your thread right out of the gate

[Pedersen]

Bravo sir, well played.

Kinda funny side note: I didn't get your reference at all because I use the "Default Style" theme, and there is no design in the upper right hand corner. Had to switch to "fusion_x" to figure it out.

Speaking of fusion....





hehehe

But sometimes, what comes up is sort of related, though I do get that threads will go for pages completely OT, or at least as a sideline, and it can be ...'interesting' to throw a curveball which goes back to that topic. Sort of makes it look out of place...
