Thread Bombs
I love em', use them more in the music sites because the humor is a bit more caustic in there, but they are my kinda' humor.
Though I have been meaning to make some more positive ones recently.
Please, post yours and let's make some cool new one!
Rules... there are none!!!!
Stealing is not only acceptable, but encouraged. Mean spirited bombs are meant to be used tongue-in-cheek, so the meaner the better... if you are offended, you need to think about why. (Though I am offended by the term retarded, and it is used a lot. I was a coach and hugger for the special Olympics. I made a bomb about how I felt about the term....)
Oh, bad grammar is also encouraged.
I may have invented the term Thread Bomb... but I'm not sure, so use it with impunity.
Lets go.
Honestly, I've been trying to think of a comment for this one, but it is effective on it's own...
BTW, Tail-Posting is another term I came-up with. It is when some dufus posts on a thread at the end without reading all that has come before it.
By the bomb, you can see how I feel about it.
Cuter if smaller, methinks. However, the 'you made baby jesus cry' one made me snicker. :)
I think the size is right, any smaller and they would lose any impact.
I can't read the google image... what does it say?
Cuter if smaller, methinks. However, the 'you made baby jesus cry' one made me snicker. :)
I agree, the smaller ones suggest wit whereas the big ones suggest ham-handed bullying.:2cents:
If you read that much into it perhaps I will look into resizing it. I had no idea someone would be so touchy over something like the size, lol.
Perhaps on a site that has ads and flashing sig lines, you know lots of colorful distractions. But here, with basically text and occasional pictures, some of the big garish ones strike me as a WMD, rather than a statement added to a thread. That's probably because I'm an old fart.:lol:
Oh, I should add, I'm not making rules, just expressing an opinion.
Gotta agree. I've often been known to throw in images I think are relevant--especially cartoons...but if all you have is a comment, and your words can't do the heavy lifting, maybe your words need work. Lots of colorful pics (that somebody else made, in most cases) aren't a substitute thoughtful posting. MySpace is for illiterates.
On the original Cellar, you had to download and view images separately; everybody was on a character-mode connection.
Now THAT'S what I'm talkin' bout'!!!
The ORLYOWLS!

jeez, arkansangry, you sure hit a nerve here... 20 posts in four hours... didn't know the cellar could move so fast....
oookay.. feel better now? I'm glad that's behind us.
On the original Cellar, you had to download and view images separately; everybody was on a character-mode connection.
And we rarely used smilies.
In the current incarnation of The Cellar our thread bombs tend to be limited to the occasional use of the venerable "Grammar Nazi" image.
Well, I did
post a Nelson "Ha! Ha!" image in the SUV limo thread. While I thought it was a good comment, I thought it was much too large in its original format. So I shrunk it considerably.
There are still many Dwellars out there on dial-up connections. I think large images should be used judiciously. If they appear in threads outside the usual image areas, they can be an unexpected drag for those on dial-up.
Well, I did post a Nelson "Ha! Ha!" image in the SUV limo thread.
Yeah, that rocked because it was a meaningful part of the comment; you could just hear Nelson's voice and 'tude.
But this "I put a big, slightly strange or gross image here mostly to generate a gut reaction I can't get from my words, which are neither particularly clever, insightful nor well-supported on their own." is annoying.
Not as annoying as the cutesy animal pictures. Christ I hate those.
jeez, arkansangry, you sure hit a nerve here... 20 posts in four hours... didn't know the cellar could move so fast....
Counting my posts...
stalk much?
You're arkansangry? :confused:
Nope... thought he was making fun of my alias. Did not see anyone by that name on the page.
I didn't either. :confused:
Ah....his was post 20....he was probably refering to the thread getting 20 posts in 4 hours.
Hmmmmm.... perhaps. Either way, sorry if I was incorrect.
Nope, GravyBoy was right.....I was referring to the thread as a whole. And I was making fun of your alias,in a light-hearted way. I have this habit of morphing names into something the letters suggest to me....
Hmmmmm.... perhaps. Either way, sorry if I was incorrect.
But you are angry right? I just wanna make sure I'm on the same page as everyone else.
Is a zen rage what comes after the raising of the bodhi mind and then finding out that there isn't a self after all, so thus you can't become enlightened?
Just wondering, maybe this isn't the time to bring that up.
Gravyboy?
Jesus, this is what happens when you go away for a weekend.
How do you think I feel ... I was only gone for like 12 hours and look at the place!
But you are angry right? I just wanna make sure I'm on the same page as everyone else.

You are reading a whole lot into a simple pun.

Well, it keeps me off the streets.:blush:
Just saw this one.
I really don't want to know how they managed to get a basset up that high. If it's a PS job, not bad. The flash would throw some weird big shadows behind the dog.
who cares if it a PS job or not - its still bloody funny!
A friend of mine and I once played a drunken "toss the puppy" game with his irritable cocker spaniel.
The dog LOVED the game and kept coming back for another round.
No need to whimper, no need to SHOUT! This party's over so get the fuck out.
GET THE FUCK OUT!

If .... he'd be a good guy wouldn't he? Not put us on balls (planets) in a vast dark frozen vacuum with all those disasters and dangers and evil in ourselves....like Sim City gone wrong.....and just watch?????
And I really like these. they've been around a long time but I still love to use 'em every now and then.
Sorry if they are big. Too lazy to resize them before I uploaded them.
Are you are morning person?
...hmmm. need to figger out how to put a whole thread on ignore... :rolleyes:

See... It's already come in handy...
lol I love cookie monster
Awwwwww...you're a sweet guy! What a lucky lady.
That fine line between fratboys and homoerotica.
I love all these "I am in ur..." pictures. Now, to profess my ignorance: where did these kinds of things originate? Is it always cats or is that just a Cellar thing? Anyway, I laugh out loud every time I see one.
http://www.encyclopediadramatica.com/index.php/I_am_in_your_base_killing_your_d00ds
It is blocked where I work, but supposedly this site explains the origins of the whole cat thing
It explains the origin of the catchphrase, but not why some are cats.:(
Probably blocked for language.
My theory is that widepread copy-cats of the FRIDGE/F00DZ variation are responsible for the popular "cat" theme.
There is a whole site with the cat bombs... same for the owls.
I stumbled upon a thread, written in French and filled with thread bombs:
I did not do the cat.
post #69 made me wonder what ever happened to Bri and her videotaping neighbor.
post #70 made me lagh totally out loud. Good thing bossman went to seminar.
That looks like 9thengineer!
I made these from pets posted on the Manson board.
I have gone from very complex bombs back to just dropping text into them... weird how we come full circle.
You may recognize these...
:lol:
My wife saw this the other day...
he's yawning at your boring pic!
oh, wait....
would be more effective if it was spelled correctly :)
/grammar nazi
Maybe it means your seal is stupid i.e "your stupid seal is always screwing up."
It's The Cellar's Good Grief! Seal of disapproval.
it's 10X funnier w/ the mis-spelling
it's 10X funnier w/ the mis-spelling
I mite agee with u if u hadn't misspelled misspelling. :p
We are thick with Nazis!
Some good ones here.We are thick with Nazis!
Good thing I was joking about him joking about misspelling!
I was also joking about the Nazis... people gotta' lighten-up, been getting tense in here lately.
I know! We are a sensitive bunch, aren't we? (OK, I am, I mean!) Besides, I like to pick on Flint because he's afraid of me. ;)
I love those thread bombs. :)
happiness is a walrus with a blue bucket. that's what i always say.
This thread reminds me of the Tom Jones song:
Thread bomb, thread bomb, you're my thread bomb ...

My husband left me this one on the desktop of our computer awhile back...
Is it wrong that I laughed?:blush:
Lumberjim stole my fucking bucket
At Nightsong:
That Daffy used to be on my desktop at home. I love Daffy Duck. He's so me. ;)
I love thread bombs. They make me laugh.
I hated this thread when it was started, but I don't anymore. Some funny shit...
Lumberjim stole my fucking bucket
holy shit! that's what i would look like if i lost like 50 lbs! still ugly! crap!
You referring to the one on the right? :lol:

Not really a thread bomb, just an interesting alignment of thread title and user name. :)
If only it read "back that shit up"
Or "Backing up TO thenewguy"
Not really a thread bomb either, but I like it....
That is so friggin cute! Hahaha
Yeah, I like that one.
OMG. I must have that (#157) on a T-shirt.
You can't have it your way.
just found this...
OK, that is gross. True, but gross.
Edited to say, shawnee slipped in during my reply to the bedbug bomb.
.
Bwahahahaha I dont know why I think thats soooo funny...but I do!!
Use the "manage attachments" option when you post to upload your pic :)
Thanks, monster. For some reason (new to the cellar?) I was't allowed to post attachments or edit posts until now. Anyway, now that all this has made it somewhat anticlimactic, here ya go:
Standard procedure for sorting out spammers. Undertoad doesn't post a whole lot, but he's working behind the scenes constantly, to make this place run smoothly.
O.K. -- that's about what I figured; it does seem to work, too. Thanks for letting me know, though.
Uisge, your thread bomb is at the top of the page now, so the delay was fortuitous. Lovely submission, by the way.
where is the "manage attachments option" pray tell?
Pull up a reply box, it is below that where the post icons at the bottom.
Thanks, lizzy, but now you've done it -- you've encouraged me! :D
Let's try another one:
I have a bunch of these things, heres another.
Just saw the Hammertime pic
I think a little bit of wee came out
thank you
I'm sooo glad I wasnt the only one that found that terribly amusing SG :D
The origin of LOLCats.
Awesome. Awesome. Awesome. Brilliant.
Here's one for richlevy...
It's a trap
How could I miss that?
The owner is Akbar, as well.
Yeah, I noticed that, after I already started putting together my little presentation.
I love how Ackbar is posing in that pic I found of him. ...It really completes the gag.
The compacter one made me laugh out loud :D
thread bombs marry thread clones
The goo pic is going to give me nighmares... I'm upset.
My grape ape was a feeble attempt to erase the goo from our minds.
I think it's gonna' take an ice-pick and a blowtorch.

Yeah, that's a good one, isn't it? ;)
I like this one, too:
The caption fell off the picture? It should read
[SIZE="5"]Reservoir Cats[/SIZE]
Brava, Shawnee! That's a great movie and the pic really hits the mark.
I can't take credit as I didn't do it. I found it, but I'm not sure why the caption didn't copy. Anyway, you are right, it's a great film and the cat photo op is perfect. :)
Just made this from the new news story.
Another one. Text could be improved.
Here is a blank - go nuts
heeeheeeehee...he said nuts.
I can't resist. Caption:
Watch as my husband Bill demonstrates how he holds his licker.
lol - that wasn't by mistake. You could cut the pic in 1/2 and have two good pics to play with.
Hill: Who invited Monica Lewinsky?
Bill: come talk to Daddy!

Another one. Text could be improved.

You may want to back up a bit....
Good job BigV - I knew it wouldn't take long
Now who wants to blow bubbles?
I aint blowing bubbles....must be your turn Shawnee?
Hey, how come it's always my turn?
'Cause you ain't smart enough to run away.
That, n I only like to blow the cute ones ;)
I really hope you don't mind, please let me know if you do.
I mean it, I do not want to offend.
K. I want that dog. I would gladly swap my dog for that dog, my dog's rubbish.
Have at it, the more the merrier.
PILAU--AVERT YOUR EYES, LOOK AWAY LOOK AWAY!!
Ohhhh.....you're right....I should never say such things.....but I would swap him for a gerbil. They're way less stress.
Friend of mine's poor tomato plant.

Do Not Want, is the obvious one I guess.
Uh-huh, not mine, dude...

Yeah, LOLcat-speek and loopy fonts don't play well together. But I think the gist is "We were so high, you wouldn't believe it!"
