We can delete posts? I can get myself down to three digits forever?

We do not have the ability to delete posts.

QE
 

Ack. You shouldn't be.

Help, someone with technical skills.

QE
 

Huh. Well then, what was that big banner on the top of the screen when I went to edit my post that said, "Do you want to delete this post? If so, check here [box for checking]." for?

Dirty Rag Guy
 

Yeah, but if he doesn't wipe the counter off before creating your masterpiece, pieces of someone else's condiment could end up in your sandwich - LIKE ONIONS, for example - so for that reason alone, it's worth it.

A church youth group seeking to perform "random acts of kindness" left hidden boxes of candy for strangers to discover and enjoy.

Unfortunately, those strangers were the bomb squad. {Spree: Yahoo.}

Geeze, dtb, you're like a kid at the door of the store yelling "hey . . . HEY! . . . you gave me a free candy bar - I'm not supposed to get a free candy bar, am I? . . . . Shouldn't you charge me for this?! . . . Is this really mine??!"

You're spoiling all my fun. I had almost all of the Survivor posts deleted.

I think it doesn't actually work if you try it. I think I tried it once.

QE
 

Just for the jokes. And I still dont get what it means. AM I to picture one of those claymation Davey & Goliath htings that represents some legendary Jew?

I seem to have gained this ability as well. The banner also tells me that if my post is the first in a thread the entire thread will be deleted.

It seems that even if Paigow can't get her numbers down to three digits, I could do this for her relatively easily thanks to the thread deletion thing.

So that those of us with The Power can delete your errant reality tv posts.

I'm guessing your Hebrew school was unaccredited.

It doesn't work if you actually click it.

It's like the IP logged button -- it works only for the admins who have the power (if even them).

fucking telemarketers
 

Concur wholeheartedly.

I am amazed at the reporting on this issue. NPR had a story on a recent telemarketers convention where the industry kvetched about the Do Not Call list and lamented the loss of jobs.

I lose no sleep for telemarketers. I want them to lose their jobs. I want them to lose their cars, their houses, their wives, their husbands, their girlfriends because they have no money. (In fact, I don't want anyone to fuck telemarketers.) I want all telemarketers to get caught in a spiral of debt and depression.

Why do I wish so much pain on so many people?

Because after they fall behind on their payments, they'll start getting calls from collection agencies.

And don't get me started about metermaids...

As if there is such a thing as an errant reality tv post. And thanks to all for pointing out to me that QE was new last night. I'll have to check out the Tivo soon.

Delete me, e/o?

A golem is a kind of monster, which is created from earth using magic by an evil alchemist or wizard to carry out his will. They are usually humanoid, and occasionally are supposed to pass entirely for human. They cannot be reasoned with or deterred, since they exist solely to carry out the will of their creator. They are very scary because, being made of earth rather than flesh, they cannot be killed or destroyed. They were supposedly often used as unstoppable assassins.

See, also, homunculus, a related (smaller) monster.
