Shits and Giggles

[PhillyDave]

I am Mikey.

 

[Black Swan]

I'd eat the insects.

Not bad, really ! Kind of crispy and salty. It is the aftertaste that brings the WTF thought to your mind!

 

[Pogue Mahone]

Life Cereal and being named Mike could get tiresome being that age in 1970s. There was also the ground-breaking song "My name is Michael and I found a nickle" and the classic children's verse, "Michael, Michael Motorcycle, stepped on the gas and burned his ass..."

The more I think about it, Life Cereal wasn't so bad if you put enough sugar on it... especially scrapping the remainder from the bottom of the bowl.

That looks more like a tumour than a unicorn horn.

INFLATABLE TUMOR didn't look as good on the package.

I can't view the last 3 posts on my phone. It says that this plug in is not supported. That has never happened before.:fog:

 

[mjp]

What about videos that were posted earlier?

 

[Black Swan]

I can only see the photos, none of the videos.

 

[mjp]

I can see the videos on my phone...it's Android 5.1 which is a few years old.

 

[Black Swan]

Mine is android 7. I wonder if I did anything to it. I'll try to figure it out.

 

[gabilager]

some day i'll be mature enough to not laugh as an idiot when i see this. but not today.

 

[Black Swan]

I can see the videos on my phone...it's Android 5.1 which is a few years old.

I can watch videos elsewhere. It is only here that I can no longer see them. Anyone else has that problem?

 

[mjp]

I don't see any mention of this in the XenForo forums, and since this is still a "pre-release" version of the software I can't ask them for support, so unless someone else is having the same problem I'd have to assume it's something in the phone configuration or settings.

 

[Black Swan]

I get it. I have been searching my phone and have not done anything to it. I' ll ask a tech about it. Thanks anyway.

 

[Johannes]

A historical document :D

 

[PhillyDave]

Ha! "Allison, can you explain what internet is?" Dude is sooo confused.

 

[Johannes]

Just your average Jaguar, tripping on DMT.

Job ad for a 1914 South Pole Expedition, making rounds on the internet.

Actually sounds like the present job market to me, minus honor and recognition.

 

[mjp]

Like many (most?) things that make the rounds on the Internet ("Find what you love," anyone?), the Shackleton ad is not real.

In advertising anthologies, one prize-winning entry crops up repeatedly. It was said to have appeared in The Times of London in early 1907:​

​

MEN WANTED FOR HAZARDOUS JOURNEY. LOW WAGES, BITTER COLD, LONG HOURS OF COMPLETE DARKNESS. SAFE RETURN DOUBTFUL, HONOUR AND RECOGNITION IN THE EVENT OF SUCCESS.​

​

The copy has been singled out as a masterpiece of deadly frankness.​

​

Unfortunately, it seems that the advertisement is as spurious as it is famous: It has never appeared in any newspaper anywhere. Regardless, the conditions it implies, as well as the spirit it conveys, are so hauntingly evocative that I extracted from it the title for this book.​

FAKE NEWS! From 1914 (or not). Sad.
