It's a bit like satire.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Yeah, almost like it wasn't true, but not quite.

[passel]

That was actually one of my thoughts last week. If Trump lost, would he actually refuse to leave the house. It certainly wouldn't seem to be beyond his character.

[Shaggy Hiker]

BOB: Big Orange Baby.

[wossy]

Sounds like a CIA black project code-name.

[Shaggy Hiker]

More like orange project.

[wossy]

Man, that is so right. I'll never get the hang of mirth.

[Shaggy Hiker]

That was one of the gifts intended to be brought to baby Jesus, but they messed up the spelling and brought myrrh, instead. We've been suffering for that mistake every since.

[wossy]

Probably the only controversial thing in the whole bibble. To be fair though it's not the first time spell check has got us in a bit of bother. Covfefe be praised.

[dday9]

I just finished an “on the fly” bootstrap confirmation modal. If y’all have any web experience, I’d appreciate any feedback.

You need a lava wrapper.

[wossy]

You need a lava wrapper.

Depends. If the headless Drupal integration layer is mockable with a Restful stack then yes you're right on the money.
If not, jeese, there's a whole lot of work to do to if you want lava. You have to break through the Earth's crust for starters, and that's a problem because Earth's crust does not support the latest Github API. Last time I needed lava I had to boot up an OS/2 image with RCS!

Nah, screw all that. Here's what you do: hire yourself a kanban architect with some good contacts in agile scrum captaincy and thinktank that **** out over a live weekender in the Slack mindspace.

By the end of the month you'll all be synergising to whale-song and storming the IPO like a boss. Artisan latte for everyone, all the way bro.

Bootstraps CONFIRMED! Amirite?

[Shaggy Hiker]

The earth's crust is just a CRUD layer.

[RobDog888]

He needs Sandpaper™

[wossy]

Sandpaper^TM v7.0, will be available for Early Access on Steam very soon. Pre-order now to ensure disappointment.

[Shaggy Hiker]

As a testimonial: During the moon floss shortage, I bought Sandpaper since it was the only thing available. Man did that chafe!!

[Delaney]

that's because you forgot the associated cream that goes with it

[wossy]

Please do not panic-buy Sandpaper^TM there is enough for everyone if we all consume sensibly.

* This public service announcement brought to you by Everclear! Hurry, limited stocks available worldwide!! Buy buy buy NOW!!!

I knew I smelled a dead cat a mile away.

[wossy]

I knew I smelled a dead cat a mile away.

Like a bad penny.

[Delaney]

Seems more undead than dead.

[Shaggy Hiker]

That might explain the glasses.

[wossy]

That might explain the glasses.

Astonishingly, the glasses are not real!

Special effects were employed at considerable expense (actually many years ago now) to give the impression of the feline subject in my avatar being the wearer of assistive eyewear.
The thing about avatars is that they are not a realistic depiction of the actual person posting. The beloved cat in question was not aware of VBF (not even the Chit-Chat section) or the internet in general, because he was a cat.

Thus it is with considerable trepidation that I must emphasise that I an not a cat in real life. This will no doubt be an earth-shaking revelation to many VBFers. I apologise for my failure over the last twenty or so years to indicate this with sufficient clarity.

In closing I will also inform those reading that the specific cat in question is now long ago passed. He has ceased to be. Dead. As a doornail. Kaputt. Done in. Et cetera.

But he was a good boy, yes he was, oos a good boy den? Awww.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Ceci n'est pas un chat.

And I am not a pineapple.

[Delaney]

well, if you start to speak french...

By the way you are the first person I know that put fishes instead of flower in a terracotta pot

[wossy]

And I am not a pineapple.

Not only are you not only not a pineapple, you cannot even get your avatar to sit in the middle of the 64x64 pixel frame. Even VisualAd can do that most of the time. Maybe.

By the way you are the first person I know that put fishes instead of flower in a terracotta pot

Check out the new guy huh? Hehe. It's clearly a pineapple.

[dday9]

Is it a terracotta pot or is it a bong (or both)?

[Shaggy Hiker]

I suppose it could be a hookah.

As for centering the image...that's just bad art. You want the subject somewhat off center to draw the eye into the image.

[FunkyDexter]

I can confirm that I am, in fact, a hamster. And JMc is certainly some kind of indiscernible dog/puppy/bear thing.

[passel]

Gee, I would have guessed guinea pig. Must be a bad angle.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Your mother was a hamster, and your father smells of elderberries!!

[FunkyDexter]

I actually think I might be part guinea pig. I'll have to sign up for ancestry.com.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Don't do that. Ancestry.com is pretty well established. If you are part guinea pig, you should sign up for some service that is still in beta.

[wossy]

Don't do that. Ancestry.com is pretty well established. If you are part guinea pig, you should sign up for some service that is still in beta.

Yeah, like American Democracy.

:MicDrop:

[Shaggy Hiker]

C'mon, having a guinea pig use a program in beta is WAAAAYYYY more of a mic drop.

[FunkyDexter]

I mic drop all the time. It's the lack of opposable thumbs.

[Shaggy Hiker]

It's no easier when you're a vase of fish.

[wossy]

Bromeliad!

[Shaggy Hiker]

That's a very airy and flowery post. Also, it's almost a bromide.

[dday9]

I like turtles.
