I could watch this over and over. And did so.

Needs to go viral
Re: Hijack This Thread
I like to scroll comments for a minute or so when I look at certain tweets. I was not surprised at how many thought this was one of the funniest things they ever saw and went on to mention something to along the lines of Biden being too classy to ever behave this way.

Re: Hijack This Thread
This reminds me of that old joke where the guy is sitting on his roof when his house is surrounded by water and two different people in boats come by and ask if he needs help and the guy says, “No. The Lord will provide.” Then the Coast Guard comes along with a helicopter and offers to rescue the guy from the roof and he says, “No, the Lord will provide.” And then the waters rise and he drowns. And while he’s standing there talking to Saint Peter and he asks why God didn’t save him, Saint Peter’s response was, “We sent you two boats in a helicopter. What more did you expect us to do?”

Re: Hijack This Thread
I would like to know WHY all smoke alarms are programmed to start chirping about their frickin' frackin' consarn low batteries at frickin' frackin' consarn 1 or 2 a.m. Why can't any of them start chirping at 2 in the afternoon?
I read - and verified on the goog - that the average person swears 60 to 90 times a day.
(I just hijacked my own post. Don't try this at home, this is the expert stuff.)
Anyway, my fucking daily fucking average of fucking posts on Fogbow is only 6 fucking posts a day. Can you imagine what they'd look like if'n I did 60 to 90 swears in them?

Re: Hijack This Thread
I don't know WHY either, but the same thing happened here two weeks ago.

Just recently I was enjoying my internet time when something started to click, I say CLICK, like C.L.I.C.K
My expertise let me diagnose that the clicking was coming from the recently freshly replaced microwave oven. When the clicking did not stop after a day I consulted with the seller about warranty (of course two years in commie Europe). So I fetch the packing from the basement storage and prepare it for return. Then the clicking did not transfer itself to box. conclusion - the new microwave must be just fine.
Next candidate - the deep freezer was the clicking culprit I can hear it clearly clicking and clicking and clicking and I have a service contract for the machine. So I panic, cause at anytime now, real soon now, the freezer will finally break down and thaw all my food, and I order the service engineer to come asap. Though freezers seem to have a low priority - three days of clicking pass. I detect that the frozen food remains frozen stuff - relax.
The service engineer shows up, friendly guy, but he insists he will fetch his toolbox later and first look at the freezer. So he gets to see and hear the clicking. And I insist that I hear the clicking clearly coming from the freezer. But then he starts to look around the kitchen, then finally gazes to the ceiling. Attached to it is this small smoke detector box directly above the freezer and the guy goes on to remove it. and suddenly the Great Silence, no more clicking after four days
this box in the past neevaahhhh evahh clicked - it always flashed its battery low warning light and chirped.
the friendly service guy wrote soemthing about a fix to a glitch in his service report, so I did not get charged for this "user error"
