Just a blip on the radar screen. Tell which is more interesting, a WOD thread or a Trent Lott thread.
You need PZDS - Poster ZOT Defensive shield. We sold out during the holidays though.
How Not to Be SeenThe thread: Cut to a wide-angle shot of hedgerows, fields and trees. Voice Over (John Cleese): In this picture there are forty disruptors. None of them can be seen. In this film we hope to show you how not to be seen.
(Caption on screen: 'FreeRepublic, PUBLIC SERVICE FILM NO. 42 PARA 6. "HOW NOT TO BE SEEN"')
Voice Over: In this film we hope to show how not to be seen. This is Mr. freerepublicsucksass1 of Napier Court, Black Lion Road London SE5. He can not be seen. Now I am going to ask him to stand up. Mr. freerepublicsucksass1, will you stand up please . . .
In the distance Mr freerepublicsucksass1 stands up. There is a loud crack of thunder as Mr freerepublicsucksass1 is zot in the head. He crumples to the ground
Voice Over: This demonstrates the value of not being seen.
Aw, what a shame. I could've given it as a Christmas present.
(Will I banned for saying Christmas, oh that's at the DUmb forum, nevermind)
You win. I rather enjoyed the WWJDrive threads.
Don't get cocky. I'm recharging my ZOT battery as we speak! ;)
