Just because

I just love this one so much...


In the event of a nuclear explosion, drive around it.

Again, the full thread is here.

Note to those who don't understand what stealing bandwidth is - I have not linked to Internet Infidels' host to display this graphic; that would be stealing bandwidth. Rather, I grabbed the graphic from ready.gov, uploaded it to my own server at thechicagoloop.net, and am linking to the source there. (Since ready.gov has made the icons publically available, I did not need to ask permission.) That's how you do it properly. Otherwise, every time anyone accessed my lj, or their friends list with me on it, or their friendsfriends list with me on it, Internet Infidels would take the hit. End of aside.

I think my favorite is the rendering of the "All Your Base Are Belong To Us" text, which is eerily accurate.

I like that sequence too - but man, the Talking Heads thing...

Remember, kids, when you see the flash, Duck and Cover!

Thanks for clearing that up

Although I'm not generally thick as a plank, I've been having a helluva time getting my head around exactly what "stealing bandwidth" meant. Thanks to your example (and speaking really sloooowwwly) I think I get it now.

I had also been wondering vaguely how people get pictures in their ljs.

So in one short paragraph, you have cleared up two of life's mysteries.

Thanks and see you at Toronto Trek.

You're welcome! if you need help putting a picture in your lj, let me know.

Alas, no Toronto Trek for me this year. Maybe next Escapade?

But wait!
You and your merry band are supposed to be MSTing again this year. That's what I heard.
Goldfinger, I thought.
Is that no longer on?

Actually, you should drive backwards around the nuclear explosion. Those look like headlights to me.

If I drove backwards around a nuclear explosion, would I be giving Internet Infidels their bandwidth back? It would be kind of like Superman flying around the Earth backwards to turn back time.
