    There is a town called Barksdale? WHAAAAA?

    Matt really loves telling everyone that Frank's full name is actually Franklin Whirlyburl Barksdale. I'm actually vaguely unclear about the middle name, he has an accent when he says it and I just nod politely. Whirly...something something. He would be tickled that the town of Barksdale exists.

    I think @Randomacts can fish you out a slightly used one from the river.

    @ChrisTurk I knew the omnipotent forum administrator had to be around making sure we behave with all this turkin' boredom and forum social interaction.

    :tinfoil:

    You disappear too often, can't leave shifty transient characters unattended on the forum or the server might spontaneously combust.

    Why is spellcheck telling me combust isn't a word but googling it brings up a definition from MW.. I've had a beer and I'm writing code, I can't take this level of anarchy :flail:

    I've never seen this before.. interestingly I decided "fuck this, I'm getting a beer" because I've been stuck on the same UI problem for like.. 4 hours now. Drank it on the porch, came back upstairs and boom, its like the template spoke to me. Problem solved.. Rattling off FA icons like I'm divining tarot cards.

    ..the world makes so much sense now. My rambling not so much. One problem at a time :flail:

    Hey now its not like I have the root credentials or anything... Plus, DO has a fire suppression system and they sometimes need to earn their keep. I can assure you downtime would only be minimal. But since your writing code how bout you get a distraction courtesy of my OCD.

    For your enjoyment:

    So why did my own placed spoiler cause the original message I was replying to, also get spoiled?

    Forum is very stupid. If it sees the 4 characters NSeffW together it will hide your post from those with weak stomachs and strict morals. It can't be bothered to read the rest and figure out if its being overly ambitious or not.

    A clarity that can only brought on by the well-controlled imbibement of mind alter substances. Oh damn and it's Friday, I shall blame you for the complete deterioration of my productivity for the night.

    Damn overly ambitious safe space generating forum, but why spoiler @Randomacts original if mine was the self-tagged NS(F-U)W reply.
