Where is the "Report Theft To Moderator" button when you really need one? Being the amiable scamp and all-around lovable rapscallion that I am, I recently Googled the much-beloved term " squabulator" to see what I'd get. Now, I wish I hadn't. Oh, sure, it turned up a couple of links to this here very fine message board, as you might very well expect. It even turned up a pair of links to dennyp's site (they were dead as a doornail, again, as you might very well expect). But to my abject horror, I found a couple of links in the search results that left Yours Turdly a little, well ... disappointed in some of the Registered Members of this site who should know better. Exhibit A: (for all youse legal eagles out there) Another inferior, competing message board happened to have a thread titled Obama's First 100 Days. Some guy listed as The "Political Moderator" (and of course, I use the term loosely) said the following: Anyone recognize that dude? He shore looks mighty familiar to *me*, darn tootin' ... Then there's another link on the same message board: The Nonsense ThreadSame guy! Again! The temerity! They say that "Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". While that may be true in some cases, it's just outright theft in this particular instance. To The Perpetrator (or should that be Perp-A-Traitor?): My lawyer will call your lawyer. Or better yet, my lawyer will call *you* directly. -- The Litigious Bukkake |

Or better yet, my lawyer will call *you* directly. -- The Litigious Bukkake I don't know, it seems to me that if the alleged perp can't come up with good original material on their own, that the use of "squabulator"elsewhere is a small price to pay to keep them there pretending they are clever in that way. Obviously, you might have different feelings on the matter, and I can appreciate that you feel the need to stand up against plagiarism. Zilla ("I'm making a note here 'Huge success'.

I'm at a complete loss here. Who could this 'Perp-A-Traitor' possibly be?

I have to admire him a bit, he's got balls for doing that. All of this could have been avoided had he simply added the proper copyright and trademark disclaimer
Edited: I just cleaned out some space in the utility room for the body.

I never could figure out why we needed a machine to regulate our pigeons anyway.

Technical point, the pigeons are a catalyst required to achieve squabbulation. Without them the squabbulator would be essentially useless.

I never could figure out why we needed a machine to regulate our pigeons anyway. Because doing it by hand can be rather labor intensive. |

I’ve said this many times and it’s worth saying again.
Many years ago, upon arriving in Jamaica, a fellow came up to me and said, "Re-set the squabulator, Mon! You SEE JESUS!!"
Now, I truly hope to see Jesus one day. However, on that particular day, seeing Jesus was not a major priority so I politely declined.
Of course, during a later trip, some fellow who apparently HAD re-set the squabulator imagined he grew wings and leaped from the bus he was riding on in downtown Negril right into the path of oncoming traffic. No, his psychotic delusions of flying didn't protect him from the impending problem of trying to occupy the same space as the vehicle headed towards him.
*DYING* in Jamaica while re-setting a squabulator is not on my top ten list of Earthly exists. However, your mileage may vary.
IFFIN, YOUSE NOT A SQUABULATOR TECH. DO NOT RE-SET SQUABULATOR!!!! (unless you want to see Jesus)
