These moments seem to be happening more often :(

[Slapnuts]

Yes, you have been informed/told by staff to keep your VPF bashing spam in the junkyard. So guess what, the post you just re-posted (2 or so posts above this) was also just split to the junkyard, stop spamming the thread with your VPF rants and stop re-posting posts that were junked for a reason.

 

[Shockman]

No I havn't FUCKNUTS I have been told that I can post them in the junkyard or the poll thread. I was told that the poll would stay. I don't care if the staff decided to lie about that as well, I really don't. Now that I don't have a poll thread that I can post my opinions in I will have to put them wherever I can. This however does not apply. We are all talking about the same thing. IS THE BOTTOM LINE GOING TO BE THAT yogi's suggestion many times that it would not hurt a bit for them to keep their word and test me on mine is going to happen as I have been promised, or not.

This is about yogi's concern that he is not being listened to at VPF. That is the discussion that every one is in here in this thread. That is the discussion I am in in this thread. Leave it be or Junk the whole thread. It is in defence of yogi. I seem to be the only one to agree with him that he has no influnence to even suggest that the obvious right thing is done.

It was such a nice thread too

BTW it has nothing to do with semantics, Phil no friends, just likes to abuse people

True

 

[Slapnuts]

Shockman's VPF rant post has been split (yet again) to the junkyard. Shock - This is your final warning on this, you have posted the same damn post 3 different times in this thread that I have moved each time. Yogi has already told you he didn't even want you responding in the thread and you just use it to spew your garbage on how you were
"wronged" and your post has nothing to do with Yogi, it is only for you to re-gurgitate what you have been going on and on about for years, we are sick of it.

 

[Shockman]

Yogi, you have a lot of influence at VPForums! :)

If you ask a question, it will be answered
If you make a suggestion, it will be considered

You take part in many discusions, you have opinions on many matters
I think that you are an important part of what is good about VPForums

TMFP

Do you believe this yogi? I have seen you make posts there that made nothing but sense, and you ask why to questions that you have not got a answer to. For example, I have saw you ask why I should not be given a chance in ligt of the fact that the staff at VPF said they were going to do just that.

Junk this one too 'nuts if you want, but you know what yogi means, and he is right, that should not happen, He seees the staff give their word and it is so clear that they did it just to fuck with me because he calls them on it, and asks them why they don't then. He is smarter than the rest of you all put together. He asked why they siad that but then refused to do it. He knows 'nuts. He knows he is right.

Can't you see that yogi has a problem with seeing that happen. Don't try to take that away from him. Don't try to convert him too.

 

[Shockman]

yogi thinks he is right, in light of what I was told. how about you Peter, do you think he is right? That you should give me that chance, in light of what YOU said?

Hes always up to sem-antics (geddit??? semantics-some antics??? *gets coat*)

Fuck you.

 

[Pop Bumper Pete]

Here you have your nice thread back :flower:

'Senior moments', who doesn't have?

I already made some very painful experiences when I forgot about this and that. Things like that do happen from time to time in a single man household.

1. One day I detected that the windows in my sleeping room really need to become cleaned. I couldn't see what the weather was anymore. I put the things standing on the windowsill on the floor, so that I can open the windows to clean the outside also and started the work. Once done the windows kept open because it was a warm and sunny day. Late night I went to my sleeping room to go to bed. All lamps already switched off it was pitch-black. Then I noticed the open windows and wanted to close them down. 1, 2, 3 footsteps, then the hell of pain from two causes. What happend? I was bare-footed and made a step directly into the damned cactus from the windowsill!

I had to remove all the spikes later in troublesome detail work. The worst in that story was, that I was appalled very much and made a larger step with the same foot by reflex. Guess where the step ended. Yes, directly in the heating device

below the windows. Once returned to life again (I think I was insensible from pain for short time) I started to think about all the broken bones in my foot. I wasn't sure if I can walk normally again ever. In the end there wasn't anything broken and I could walk same as before after removing the cactus spikes.

2. Similar story as before. I didn't put the vacuum cleaner away, but let it in the hall, where I stopped to vacuum-clean. Late night from living room I went to my sleeping room to go to bed. All lamps already switched off it was pitch-black. ... . Short version: It ended with this
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bänderdehnung. Sorry, I don't get that translated. It took half a year to become free of pain.

Can you report from similar accidents?

 

[yogiholzer]

Hello!!!???

No reply!!!???

Thread is back!!!

No???

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

yea, doesn't sound fun, yogi. the time with the vacuum cleaner it sounds like you sprained a joint? maybe tore a tendon or ligament?

as opposed to a 'senior moment' with cactii, i've had 'stoopid moments' like the time i touched a cactus because it looked and felt furry. only to discover that the 'fur' had been absorbed into my fingers, similar to fibre glass or asbestos particles. it took a few days for all the little hairs to fall out...

i also used to have the problem in this apartment of mistakenly turning the stove burner knobs to 'low' instead of 'off'. my roommate would later discover there was a flame burning and come frantically pounding on the door and start screaming at me. he thought the whole place was going to burn down somehow. chances were prolly far greater that the low flame would burn out and the place would slowly fill up with gas.

ironically when we really did have a fire earlier in the year i was the one who woke him out of bed and directed him out the back way to safety. instead, he rushed back into his room to call 911, then rushed out the front way in his bare feet, where the fire was burning, only to scorch his feet and require a trip to the emergency room.

 

[yogiholzer]

Ouch!

The best of stories like these is, that, when endured/survived, you and people you tell about have a good laugh.

Yes, I sprained a joint or tore a tendon or ligament. Something like that. I didn't contact a doctor. But the cactus/heating device story felt much more worse.

Ever underestimated the length of your nose?

To test if the iron already is at working temperature I wanted to hold it near to the face to feel and smell the hotness. Result: I had burnt tip of the nose for 1-2 weeks. Everyone everywhere asked me what happened!

 

[Isaac Sauvage]

ouch!!

and i've heard more than once that the nose continues to slowly grow throughout one's lifetime.

 

[yogiholzer]

Oh no, it's already large enough!

About this site/forum is dead: It's not dead as long as posts in threads like this still continue.

Maybe I'm not able to post the stories from above in more funny/humorous way/style (that's probably because of language), but I would have expected some more responses/replies than only yours, because the thread views increased by a good amount. Ultimately I posted some awkward details that should have make some laugh about at all and I don't believe people can't contribute similar stories for common amusement.

In case there are no more replies than only yours, nic, I probably will come to conclusion that this site/forum is really dead, especially because there are no much other threads from really important interests.

I'm sorry, but there were requests to get back the nice thread. I just tried to contribute. Probably I will stop that independent from any Shockman issues.

That explains mine then LOL

Last couple of days I've been trying to finish my kitchen.
Bought a new cooker hood but unfortunately there wasn't enough space between the wall units and the cooker to accommodate it. So simple job is to raise the wall units by 5". Great until I remove the first unit and the wine that was stored on top of the next unit (which was not to be moved) got displaced and 2 fine bottle of red crashed to the floor. Spent the next 2 hours cleaning up the gas hob jets etc, cutting my hand in the process! Strewth there's an awful lot of wine in a bottle when you spill the entire contents. After that the lift went reasonably well.

Today, I just had to trim the units out to cover the places that weren't tiled - shit I screwed up bigtime but cutting the timber too short! So, I spent the rest of today machining oak, jointing and gluing it so that I can try a repeat tomorrow. So a 1 hour job today has turned into a 2 day job!
Am I gonna have a few beers tonight.
The moral of this story is to measure twice, cut once! :)

I've got a kitchen remodeling story that involves the nose too.

I decided to replace the original 60’s cabinets in my kitchen with new oak cabinets. When it came time to remove the old hanging cabinets, I soon found out that the person who mounted these old cabinets used 16 penny nails into the studs of the wall rather than screws. Because the nails were inside the cabinets and near the corners, I couldn’t get a cat’s-paw tool in there to pull the nails. I tried using a flat bar from the outside edges of this 36†x 24†x 17†cabinet to pry against the wall, but ended up punching new holes into the sheetrock wall instead. Great! New holes to patch! I didn’t want to destroy the old cabinets, because I was going to use them in my shed.

The whole time, I’m standing on a rickety wooden chair. Finally, I decided that I would just grab the cabinet from the inside ridges of the face and yank… at least until I had a space behind the cabinet to where I could pry with the flat bar on a stud. So I would yank and then check for progress… nothing. Yank some more… still nothing. Yank harder… then WHAM! The cabinet decided to come loose and slammed into my face. The doors on the cabinet swung shut pinching my fingers, blood from the bridge of my nose trickled down my face, while I was balancing on an old wooden chair, knocked senseless and now holding the weight of a large wall cabinet in my hands. :ko:

I shouted for my wife who was watching the TV and enjoying a morning cup of coffee in the living room, which is visible from the kitchen where I was at. I had to look quite the site to her when she looked over and saw a man teetering on a chair holding a large cabinet and blood streaming down his face. She helped hold some of the weight of the cabinet while I manage to climb off the chair.

I think I reversed the nose growing process a little that day, because now part of my nose was pushed into my head. I have a nice little war wound to show my friends.

I also drove a self tapping metal screw through my left thumb while constructing a steel stud frame closet during this kitchen remodeling job, but that’s another story all together. Short and sweet... zip, skip, zing, and OUCH! The screwing part of it was quick… the unscrewing part of it was painful and slow.
