You're talking about something totally different. The problem discussed here was an issue with our cache files. This issue has been resolved and is NOT still around. The problem you're talking about has to do with browser hijacking. That's something that is still fairly prevalent and not anything we can control. A reduction in surfing those lures of free questionable pron sites usually helps.

It's probably not known which is the very first, but in 1928 a test signal was broadcast of a felix the cat doll on a turntable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wJqeufU_BQU It was broadcast 2 hours a day so engineers could study the television technology. Probably scared all those little green men back to the delta quadrant. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAGp-WQHfXo

I was living in San Diego in the 90's and I won a call-in contest for all inclusive AC/DC passes. These boys played their backsides off to a packed house and it was a great memory. After the show we met the band and Angus signed my Gibson and gave me three pics from his pocket that were reduced to nothing. Cased and hanging on the wall in my office is this icon to my younger days. These Scottish lads get my vote if they'll give us a release to use it, I for one would be tickled black.

I was kidding. I've never known anyone to have a copyright on a name. Wrench does like to model tho.

Ratchet Wrench is good too ... but then you'd have to model the character after our Wrench here.

Probably rebels flying Syrian equipment without Assad's knowledge. Seems legit.

Yeah there's more of you guys than there is of me I can't remember my own name sometimes, must be someone else. Regardless the link I supplied has the answer you're looking for. PM me with your details and I'll get you fixed up.

http://combatace.com/topic/78615-new-badges/?do=findComment&comment=627323 Last I read about you you were in heated discussions with a recruiter.

Just goes to show you with the right amount Viagra and sizable checkbook anything is possible though I doubt he'll be "engaging" anything at a warp factor these days. Good luck SPS I hope you have a good body double.

If there is and they aren't posting their work here ... well in the native tongue, "big chief'ums need have a powwow, ugg."

I would have hoped you were already here. If not we're doing something wrong.

In order to rate files you first had to download them, or should I say rate them on the download screen. I've changed it so you can rate the files on both the file description page and the file download page. So this should be fixed now. Thanks.

Can you link me to the file?

Super funny, even funnier did you notice how most everyone's flight or fright reacted the same way? Jumping to the corner and point of entry. Interesting ...

The transportation security administration (TSA) has just released the screening results.

Lou is welcome to create as many sets as he likes for as many themes as we have. I have not placed that restriction on him, nor will I counsel him on his terrific decision to use our logo in the primary set.

Where did piss poor come from ? Tanneries used to use urine to tan animal skins, so poor families used to all pee in a pot to make money. Then once the pot was full it was taken and sold to the tannery. If you had to do this to survive you were "Piss Poor". Worse than that were the really poor folk who couldn't even afford to buy a pot. They "didn't have a pot to piss in" and were the poorest of the poor. The next time you are washing your hands and complain because the water temperature isn't just how you like it, think about how things used to be. Here are some facts about the 1500's. Most people got married in June because they took their yearly bath in May, so they still smelled pretty good in June. However, since they were starting to smell, brides carried a bouquet of flowers to hide the smell of body odor. Hence the custom today of carrying a bouquet when getting married. Baths consisted of a big tub filled with hot water. The man of the house had the privilege of the nice clean water. Then all the other sons and men, then the women and finally the children. Last of all the babies. By then the water was so dirty you could actually lose someone in it. Hence the saying, "Don't throw the baby out with the Bath water!" Houses had thatched roofs-thick straw-piled high, with no wood underneath. It was the only place for animals to get warm, so all the cats and other small animals (mice, bugs) lived in the roof. When it rained it became slippery and sometimes the animals would slip and fall off the roof. Hence the saying, "It's raining cats and dogs." There was nothing to stop things from falling into the house with those straw roofs. This posed a real problem in the bedroom where bugs and other droppings could mess up your nice clean bed. Hence, a bed with big posts and a sheet hung over the top afforded some protection. That's how canopy beds came into existence. The floor was dirt. Only the wealthy had something other than dirt. Hence the saying, "Dirt poor." The wealthy had slate floors that would get slippery In the winter when wet, so they spread thresh (straw) on the floor to help keep their footing. As the winter wore on, they added more thresh until, when you opened the door, it would all start slipping outside. A piece of wood was placed in the entrance-way. Hence: a thresh hold. Getting quite an education, aren't you? In those old days, they cooked in the kitchen with a big kettle that always hung over the fire. Every day they lit the fire and added things to the pot. They ate mostly vegetables and did not get much meat. They would eat the stew for dinner, leaving leftovers in the pot to get cold overnight and then start over the next day. Sometimes stew had food in it that had been there for quite a while. Hence the rhyme: "Peas porridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas porridge in the pot nine days old". Sometimes they could obtain pork, which made them feel quite special. When visitors came over, they would hang up their bacon to show off. It was a sign of wealth that a man could, "bring home the bacon." They would cut off a little bacon to share with guests and would all sit around and chew the fat. Those with money had plates made of pewter. Food with high acid content caused some of the lead to leach into the food, causing lead poisoning and death. This happened most often with tomatoes. So for the next 400 years or so, tomatoes were considered poisonous. Bread was divided according to status. Workers got the burnt bottom of the loaf, the family got the middle, and guests got the top, or the upper crust. Lead cups were used to drink ale or whisky. The combination would sometimes knock the imbibers out for a couple of days. Someone walking along the road would take them for dead and prepare them for burial. They were laid out on the kitchen table for a couple of days and the family would gather around and eat and drink and wait to see if they would wake up. Hence the custom; of holding a wake. England is old and small and the local folks started running out of places to bury people. So they would dig up coffins and would take the bones to a bone-house, and reuse the grave. When opening these coffins, 1 out of 25 coffins were found to have scratch marks on the inside and they realized they had been burying people alive. So they would tie a string on the wrist of the corpse, lead it through the coffin and up through the ground and tie it to a bell. Someone would have to sit out in the graveyard all night (the graveyard shift) to listen for the bell; thus, someone could be, "saved by the bell" or was "considered a dead ringer". And that's the truth. Now, whoever said History was boring?

Not a ruffled feather here.

To think they only found 133 transvestites is incredible and goes to the quality of screening, because just one trip to LA Fitness will find you that many. Whatever you do, don't "hang" out there.

If it could simulate a flat spin that would be amazing.

There's a reason I dropped this into "The Pub" as it was designed for entertainment purposes only. A bar story and just something fun to read without any fact checking. Where it came from I have no idea it was a link I ran across when doing some research on a more morbid topic. Never-the-less it did link me to the exact site you referenced (http://www.phrases.org.uk/meanings/life%20in%20the%201500s.html) which I read and laughed about as the original article did it's job because there I was researching and debunking the noise. Now if I thought that everyone at CA had only 2 brain cells which fired on a random pattern I would have definitely made it extremely clear that the intent of my post was for entertainment only. I can't even imagine the amount of content, from stories to screenshots, that would have to be removed as disinformation on this site because it has no basis in reality. I stand by my post as I've heard far worse sitting at my local pub and will be happy to go into detail if the need becomes apparent. If life doesn't include some fun mixed into the daily grind then I'm thinking about getting a lead cup and a couple bottles of spirits so I can call it quits. Thank you for clearing up any misconceptions and falsities I posted.
