All I need to say is over the past few years the flaming has become children bickering and trying to make them selves feel good. If you are a flamer think of how many people like you irl, if any one cares to flame any of my messages go breathe some water.o yha the joke ...
In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed by stupidity, here are some actual label instructions found on consumer goods:

On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping.

On a bag of Fritos: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (The shoplifter special.)

On a bar of Dial soap: Directions: Use like regular soap.

On a Swann frozen dinners: Serving suggestion: Defrost. (But it's just a suggestion.)

On Tesco's tiramisu dessert (printed on the bottom of box): Do not turn upside-down.

On Marks & Spencer bread pudding: Product will be hot after heating.

On packaging for a Rowenta iron: Do not iron clothes on body.

On Boot's children's cough medicine: "Do not drive a car or operate machinery after taking this medication."

On Nytol sleep aid: Warning: May cause drowsiness.

On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only." (As opposed to what?)

On a Japanese food processor: Not to be used for the other use. (I gotta admit, I'm curious.)

On Sainsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts."

On an American Airlines packet of peanuts: "Instructions: Open packet, eat nuts."

On a child's Superman costume: "Wearing of this garment does not enable you to fly." (I don't blame the company, I blame the parents for this one.)

On a Swedish chain saw: "Do not attempt to stop chain with your hands or genitals."

On a bag of Fritos: You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (The shoplifter special.)

You know I wonder how well that would hold up with the store owner, or the cops. If you just opened the package and ONLY read the details on the inside, cause technicaly the packing did say: "NO purchase necessary. Details inside." See so the manufature is telling you that you don't have to buy the product to get the information to win. And I can't recall any law that states if you open a product you must pay for it. :P

Blast you.

Now I gotta go get a bag of Fritos because you made me hungry.

On most brands of Christmas lights: "For indoor or outdoor use only." (As opposed to what?)

Well, you know, everyone's just dying to light up the bottom of their pools for the winter, without having to drain them...


What I want to know is who went lookign for those warnings?

"Warning: Do Not Read The Warning Labels."?

"Warning: Do Not Consider My Flame As Personal Against Muir."

You be bin redarded buttwpie-monkee. Keep ypur hands off me generals no felums for u nogood drok man.

--On Sainsbury's peanuts: "Warning: contains nuts."---

Thats nothing, i saw a peanut thing that said "warning: MAY contain nuts." Like it was a chance.. I mean, its bad enough they are warning you that it has nuts in it, but saying that it only MIGHT have nuts in it? can you imagine that? opening up your bag of peanuts and there were no nuts inside? like all you got was the peanut skins?

What is our world comming to? *sighs*

What about on the end of a gun barrel, "warning: objects exit from barrel at extremly high velocities." well... DUH...Yeesh...

Not totaly weird you know, ever eaten Krab with a K. Could be artifical peanuts. Ya never know these days what their making things out off, they might be soy nuts!

In fact, peanuts are not nuts. They're legumes, edible seeds enclosed in a pod, like peas. The package states that simply because peanuts are often processed in the same location as actual nuts, such as walnuts. A package of peanuts probably contains no nuts at all.

and Thus he Kills the Humour

Yes. Facts own the humor.

In the first release of "Settlers of Catan" in the United States, the instructions for a single-player game insisted (i.e. underlined, bold, italics) that one Must Not Use The Red Pieces if one is playing the game solo.

No reason is given, and the color of your tokens in Settlers matters almost as much as the shape of your token in Monopoly rules-wise.

My personal favourite was the serving suggestion on Sun Maid Raisins: "Why not toss over your favourite breakfast cereal?"

Quoth Flac:
'What about on the end of a gun barrel, 'warning: objects exit from barrel at extremly high velocities.' well... DUH...Yeesh..'

What worries me Flac is that you were holding the gun barrel close enough to your face to read it. At least assure us it was unloaded or pointed away from you.

Osiris??!!

Whoa..dude I thought maybe they hauled you away to the old folks home. (hopefully without some icky space clown stealing your brainwaves to power a theme park...)

It is really good to see you. How have you been?

(Okay, okay..back on topic...mutters)

On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping.

Grin...it is a leftover from the old hair dryers you placed on the couch or chair next to you. They had a hose connecting the motor and a cap to put over your head.
(sort of like a home version of the old beauty shop chair) It took forever to dry your hair and people often dozed off while they waited.

My favorite was on the little wading pool we got our daughter when she was a toddler.

"Warning! Do not attempt to dive in this pool."

Kitkat - the mind boggles -

Osiris??!?

Oh my God, it is still alive?

Hey, you old geezer, remember you still owe me that zone featuring wellknown TMC posters?
Just think what you could do with someone like Tyche...
Or... nah, I'd better not say it... :P

Quoth the lovely and gracious Molly O'Hara:
'Hey, you old geezer, remember you still owe me that zone featuring wellknown TMC posters?'

I do vaguely remember working on such a thing, but I don't remember where it went. Also, there seems to be quite a turnover in posters. Whatever happened to mouseglove?

Our mud Divine Anathema had a great building system that Tamara setup. I'm trying to recover the DA code so I can play with building. I'd also like to see my Brothel area properly finished and distributed.
