#1 Amusing and somewhat funny I'll agree, but why is this posted here? Yahoo's "trending now" section maybe but not at Rantburg. Let's get focused people. This is a War on Terror blogsite. I've been lurking here since the beginning. The very beginning. Due to my own paranoia, I've only started commenting recently, but I've gleened so much knowledge from the regulars here. Let's stay on point boys and girls. The occasional "Idiot of the Day" is cool, but we will never beat an insurgency until a little cold rice and rat meat is our idea of R and R. Carry on.

P.S.

Stop picking on Joeseph Mendiola

#4 Once again, this is why I think an ephemera link dump on the right main page column, just above the Sink Trap, would be a grand idea. While looking for WoT links, it's inevitable that you'll find lots of junk that is not WoT related, but you think the other Rantburgers might get a hoot out of.

It might even take over what appears to be the unused My Burg link. A simple entry box, with poster's name, brief title, and the link itself. No need to even archive or eliminate spam. At midnight all the links are just wiped.

Unless the link is by a known Rantburger, just don't click on it.

It would help to keep the main page and O Club clean, and mods could use it for posts that didn't make the main page cut, so they wouldn't just be lost.

If it needs a name, call it HALO, for High Opening, Low Oxygen.

#5 Joseph is a big boy, he's been taking the same shit from the beginning too. Of coirse it's not like he reads anyone elses comments.

#6 Joseph M. is an oracle. He is his own justification. I'd ask him what to name my firstborn - if he read our comments. :)

#9 JosephM does very occasionally respond to something someone writes in a thread. But mostly he posts his links/summaries in random threads rather than use the article posting set-up Fred set up for our use.
