Last chance to own a piece of short attention span hashtag greatn.. Wait, remind me what was this about again?

Which means that (looks at watch) it’s already been running longer than a Honda RA615H Hybrid Power Unit.

This is not the Jalopnik/Blipshit contest shirt, BTW...

OK, how long can Arrivabene tolerate Kimi borking everything until he gets sacked?

Hey mcmike are you an Oppo god? I can comment but can’t compose a post anymore. Or when I do it’s not working. Am I grey, or having some other issue?

Sorry, not a mod. Just a t-shirt salesman.

So I take it you won the jalopnik contest or blipshift knew this was brilliant and had to make it?

ok darn. Thanks. I think I’m having cookie problems as I was messing with my browser settings the other day, but I have allowed kinja.com to set cookies and keep them... and I can comment fine. If a mod happens across this please let me know.

Within minutes, # placesalonsowouldratherbe was getting some traction, and images were rapidly flying their way around the internet. On the beach, in the jungle, on the moon, in the Mercedes garage, at the Last Supper, at a WEC race, on the Titanic. Alonso was everywhere.

It became the talk of the paddock as people huddled around mobile phones to laugh at yet another genius creation.

Alonso himself joined in the fun ahead of his regular Saturday afternoon media briefing, and by the time he had arrived at the track on Sunday morning, his team had prepared a special ‘best of’ picture board for him.

So question about submitting ideas, how do you work it so you get $1 for each shirt sold? When I was poking around it only seemed like they’d send me a shirt with my design on, do you need to submit shirts on the regular to get to that point?

Also I bought one because I too dream.

I can't decide if I need a shirt or an inspirational poster for my office. Help!

Oh god thats wonderful

McMike > TheBloody, Oppositelock lives on in our shitposts.

Not sure how it all works. If you supply the artwork, you apparently get a $1 a shirt. In this case, they wanted to do it before I even submitted anything.

This was a rare case.

I love this so much, I think I'll have to get it. Not sure if I want a hoodie or a tee (I'm not getting both).

[suspending final judgement]

If the trio’s new Amazon show is great, and the next iteration of Top Gear is also great, then firing Clarkson may have been the best thing the BBC’s ever done for car enthusiasts.

Granted, the odds of both being great is probably slim to none.

Sweet. Whatever that means, I am become death too.

Just checked and you’re still listed as an author and not blocked so I don’t see anything wrong from our end. Try logging out, clearing cookies and back in again. If it persists, make a post (on your personal blog if you can’t post on Oppo) with ‘Kinja Help’ as a tag and someone should get back to you from tech.

deekster_caddy > DasWauto
11/18/2015 at 16:24

Thanks. I got a notification that “Oppositelock started following you” at 10:00 AM today, so not sure if somebody just did that. I’ll try again tonight, I lost the draft of the post I had been trying to make. Will let you know if it works or not.

DasWauto > deekster_caddy

Being followed for Oppo doesn’t really affect authors, it just takes comments out of the grey automatically if you’re not an author. Someone must have clicked that button randomly. It shouldn’t but I’ll un-do it to see if it makes a difference.

deekster_caddy > DasWauto
11/18/2015 at 16:42

I was having trouble before that happened. I’m guessing somebody clicked it ‘just trying to help’.

deekster_caddy > DasWauto
11/18/2015 at 17:10

Still the same. Anytime I hit Publish, whether it’s to Oppo or my own blog or whatever, it just reloads the Compose page I’m on and never publishes. So I can’t start my own thread to ask for help... I’ll try again from a different browser without the cookie privacy settings enabled.

DasWauto > deekster_caddy
11/18/2015 at 17:12

If that doesn’t work I can make a post for you. I think the techs have an email address too, I don’t know what it is but I’m sure Google will find it if you end up needing. it.

deekster_caddy > DasWauto
11/18/2015 at 17:13

Thanks. It seems to have worked. (refresh Oppo to see). I’ll mess around with my cookie settings some more and see if I can make it stick in the other browser.

You technically didn’t win, but you still won.

I’m surprised he came back after Ferrari first bought him out, and even more surprised they took him back the second time. I loved that motivated Kimi I saw with Lotus but I just don’t see it anymore - I know it hasn’t always been his fault due to technical issues, but he’s so far off of Vettel it makes me question why he’s on a top team.
