He was pretty enthusiastic about using the 5 lb. sledge hammer this afternoon. Perhaps he is being called to his true vocation.

I know someone who had the bright idea to spray lighter fluid in a beer bottle. and drop it in the top. For about 10 seconds nothing happened. Then as another friend tried to finish “well that was la..” a fireball like your photo happened. Note never put lighter fluid in something and then drop it in.

He had the flames rolling for about 10 minutes. No lighter fluid required.

Hey so far all I’ve managed to do is set an alfalfa field on fire, and I made myself a spring-loaded fireball launcher at age 10!

!!! UNKNOWN CONTENT TYPE !!!

When I read this word the first thing that came to mind was “Chimaera” and I was all like, “Your son’s setting fire to TVRs now?”

Once when dropping the gas tank on the Willys I had a lot of gas-soaked paper towels to dispose of, and thought the chiminea would be a perfect receptacle for said paper towels. There I was, BIC lighter in hand standing in front of a gasoline soaked paper-towel-stuffed chiminea when the small “hey don’t do this it’s stupid” voice in my head was nowhere to be found. With a quick flick of the BIC and small extension of my arm I transformed my parents chiminea into what looked like a terracotta-colored General Electric F404 turbofan engine, and managed to singe the hair off my right hand and forearm. That was the last time I have been allowed to put anything in a chiminea.

It’s my understanding that spam usually means multiple posts or advertising. This clearly doesn’t fall under either of those definitions.

I have been encouraged by other admins in the past to move posts up to share with other crowds. I’ve also seen plenty of instances where people have shared their previous posts so they show up in the feed again at a later time/date. I would also note that there is nothing about spam or time/date adjustments in the OppositeLock Handbook for Commenting and Posting .

My intent was to share with my normal daytime (U.S.) crowd since a. they may have missed it; and b. it was funny. The evening post was spur-of-the-moment.

Now that I know that some of the admins are persnickety about these things, I will be hyper-vigilant about when I post and policing others when they commit the same infraction. Lord knows that I am worthy of the attention of the spam police.

You can find those guidelines in this post

not the one you linked to

You can find those guidelines in this post, for both the post updates you mention and your post (which has no real update)

http://oppositelock.kinja.com/sharing-can-be…

not the one you linked to, which is just general commenting guidelines.

Sorry for the confusion. In the future though, just schedule your post for the future, or just wait a week or so to re-update it, unless there’s an actual update in there. It gets annoying very quickly if we don’t enforce these guidelines which we admins worked more hard than most appreciate to establish.

I get it. I’ve been in your shoes before. The annoying thing is the inconsistency from the moderators. While one is admonishing me for bumping the post, another is busy contributing to the discussion with his own story.

I will take your comments under consideration as I create new content to share.
