    Under my name is my gift to you, PK, read the introduction and then click ‘Begin’ on the right.

    • Seth says:

      That’s a classic. I remember when these cards first came out. Which Flame Warrior do you all think you are? I, of course, am the Kung Fu Master. Or Pinko, depending on who you ask.

      • Czernobog says:

        Everyone thinks they’re the KFM. Personally, I’ve been more of these then I’d like to admit.

      • lowly grunt says:

        Philosopher, definitely. You, that is. Seth.

        • rhorho says:

          When, LG, you, Yoda did turn into?

        • Jane St.Clair says:

          That’s what I was thinking too! I think I fit entirely too many of them, and they’re not flattering at all! But I’m most likely Cyber Sisters.

          • rhorho says:

            I’m thinking that very few of us are only one FW. Even The-One-Not-
            Named (TONN™) is a combination of Ego and Issues, imo.

            Seth strikes me as Philosopher and Eagle Scout.

            • Jane St.Clair says:

              Well, I definitely think he’s KFM as well. So many of them I was like, that’s Uncle Fester, no THAT’S Uncle Fester! It was fun. :D

            • ACSIS says:

              I am curious about this TONN™ I’ve seen mentioned numerous times
              recently. Someone you all had a crush on I’m guessing? ;-)
              .
              jk

              • Jane St.Clair says:

                I don’t know what TONN ™ stands for, but I DO know Rho is trying not to invoke She Who Must Not Be Mentioned on PK. You get demerits for summoning, you see. Maybe Rho can link you to the smackdown.

                • rhorho says:

                  From my earlier post, “The-One-Not-Named (TONN™)” is
                  shorter than “She Who Must Not Be Mentioned on PK,” and
                  easier to remember.

                  @ACSIS: Link

                • rhorho says:

                  The-One-Not-Named (TONN™) I shortened it up, because
                  SWMNBM is so last month, doncha know…

                  @ACSIS: [LINK]

                  I posted a link earlier, so it will probably show up in a
                  little while. Sorry if it does, and this is a duplicate.

                • rhorho says:

                  The-One-Not-Named (TONN™)
                  I shortened it up, because SWMNBM is so last month,
                  doncha know…

                  @ACSIS: PK ate two posts with links, so, if you want to
                  see TONN in action, go to the top of this page and type
                  “wash” in the search box. The first LOL it brings up shows
                  a girl in a wash sink. In that one, it won’t take to long to
                  find TONN. If you look for Seth’s icon, it will go faster.

                  • ACSIS says:

                    Cool, thanks. I’ll take a look.

                    • Jane St.Clair says:

                      Oh, and then look at the one where froo and rho mercilessly beat her down. Which one was that, Rho? Seems to me the lol had like a bombed out car or something on it.

                      • rhorho says:

                        If this works, this is one of my favorites.

                      • rhorho says:

                        For some reason, PK is not letting me post with
                        links. I’ll look up the one you just mentioned,
                        but one of my favorites can be found by
                        searching the word “pretend.” The exchange
                        is close to the top of that LOL.

                        • ACSIS says:

                          Now I know who this is. Once I read Froo taking her to task it all clicked.

                        • rhorho says:

                          As you noted, she runs hot and cold.

                          It takes newer people by surprise when she
                          erupts, because, as far as they know, she
                          has been just dandy until that point.

                  • ACSIS says:

                    Ok, I’ve seen that person before and I don’t remember thinking they were anything ‘special’. There are certainly others who have stood out more to me, but I haven’t read the thread yet. I’ll do that, and I’m sure I’ll understand then.

              • Summoner says:

                Hell Hath No Fury, we summon thee, and pray for your guidance.

                • rhorho says:

                  Okay, that’s the usual three demerits, plus an extra
                  punishment. Here, hold this small, sweet looking vine,
                  while I think of a chore for you.

                  *gives vine to Summoner*

                  *paces, watching out of evil amusement as vine creeps
                  up Summoner’s arms while tendrils inject paralyzing
                  toxins*

                  • Steve says:

                    This is how I’m picturing you in my mind from now on Rho, and there’s nothing you can do about it! You may be cute and/or adorable on the outside, but you’re an evil temptress, I’m sure of it! I feel sorry for the poor trolls…

                    • Steve says:

                      ^ There’s a [LINK] there.

                      Submitted too quick.

                      • rhorho says:

                        LOL–Well, my boobs are bigger, but, okay.

                        (I also prefer Passion Vine, but that’s just
                        getting picky.)

                        • Steve says:

                          Passion Vine..don’t have that here in the North. Can you grow them outdoors in Texas, or are they in a greenhouse? Google images show sort of a 3 fingered, glossy pot leaf, without the jagged edges. Do they all bear fruit? Or do passion vines have different phenos?
                          -
                          From the sounds of things I don’t think they would provide much coverage for you…but I don’t see that as a problem.
                          *mental image stored*

                        • rhorho says:

                          There are 500 species, and many hybrids.
                          Most are vine form, and some are suitable
                          for the climate here. I grow three hybrids.
                          One of them bears fruit, but it’s hollow. The
                          nickname, “Maypop,” refers to the fact that
                          the fruit pops when stepped on. (It’s what
                          they had before bubble wrap, I suppose.)

                          The leaves are 3 or 5 lobed, usually, but the
                          leaves are simple, unlike those of your
                          favorite weed. I grow the plants because
                          they play host to the Gulf Fritillary, a
                          medium-sized butterfly.

              • Summoner says:

                Evil Pundit and Megabob, your presence is requested!

      • eddiepscetti says:

        I may be a few of them, but probably artful dodger would be closest.

    • lowly grunt says:

      Hee! This is great! I’ll amuse myself with this list while waiting for something new and funny.

    • rhorho says:

      Thank you for the fun read, Czernobog!

    • Uncle Fester says:

      Big Dog – Evil Clown (but I don’t care if I’m the only one who finds me funny) – Xenophobe – Rat – Enfant Provocateur – Jekyll and Hyde – Therapist – Yuk Yuk – Pithy Phrase – Jerk – Archivist – Nitpick – but enough about me (ego)

      @Eddie – I’d say ‘Godfather’, simply from ‘horse sense’… quite how you’ve remained faithful to a party defeats me, but then, I’m fickle…

    • Anniee451 says:

      I love the flame warriors. Somewhere around ten years ago I was dealing with the Cyber Sisters – yikes, they were a scary bunch then.

      I was probably necromancer; not sure now.

  2. KaBooM says:

    How is this funny? *sigh*

  3. Eric-in-STL says:

    It’s funny ‘cos it’s stupid. I like it.

  4. JW says:

    IR thermometer 0 – Fire 1 *sigh*

    Keep up the great work firefighters

  5. rhorho says:

    Brilliant man vs. nature metaphor: The author has captured the poignancy of the epic struggle between the two forces, and made great use of the ‘darkness and fire’ elemental contrast…

    *nibbles edge of cucumber sandwich while taking in the nuances*

    • pittypat says:

      *snags a sandwich*

      Darkness is the more evident of the two in this particular LOL, since the hero, the firefighter, must be brought down by his own dark doings. In this case, the blinding light of his ambition and deeply dark deceitfulness are the firey elements of ultimate darkness that lead to his darkly ruined life. The dark gun of course is one of his instruments of darkness capable of creating fire or being, quite literally, fired in the dark creating light patches of fire in the diminished light of the dark night …

  6. ACSIS says:

    This is a test post.
    This caption sucks…

    • acsiss says:

      Ok, I screwed up the gravatar thing, so, I think this is what the new-ish name is going to look like, but I have to wait until it all takes effect.

      • Uncle Fester says:

        you may have to force the system to log you out of Gravitar

        • acsiss says:

          Thanks. I tried a couple of things and it’s not ‘forcing’ me into the new username/email address yet, so I guess I can just keep posting like this until it does, then I’ll know for sure.
          Not like there’s a lot here to comment on right now anyway.

          • Jane St.Clair says:

            I see a fish/shark thingie and that your name is now acsiss (which I’m unclear about). Is something else supposed to be different too?

            • acsiss says:

              That is a cookie cutter shark.
              .
              When I screwed up the registration on gravatar earlier, at some point, it stopped showing me the Name and email field here, and only showed me the Comment field. Above the Comment field were two links. One had my nickname and the other said logout. I guess that’s what I’ve been waiting for.
              .
              Now that I think about it though, I think it also hid the URI field which shouldn’t happen.
              .
              The other thing is that even though the post says that I’m ‘subscribed to this post.’ I’m not getting emails telling me of new posts (like yours above) even though the email is listed properly.
              Eh, I’ll just wait and see what happens.
              .
              Oh, and the extra ‘s’ can now stand for satanic in addition to stanic. It wouldn’t let me register ‘acsis’.

              • rhorho says:

                Next time you post, just above the comment input field there is a
                blue underlined link, that says something like “log out.” If you click
                on that, the familiar three boxes (name, email, URI) will reappear,
                and you will be ACSIS again.

                • rhorho says:

                  Oops! Copied and pasted from below, without changing
                  the hard returns…

                  • Mr.Wholesome says:

                    I still don’t know what a hard return is.

                    I also continue to be unable to imagine “hard return” as something that isn’t naughty.

                    • rhorho says:

                      Among other, dirtier things, a “hard return” is
                      what happens when you hit the “enter” key, which,
                      on a typewriter, is called the “return” key.

                • acsiss says:

                  Right, those links are what I was waiting for, but they’re not there.
                  I do have the three fields now, but I registered the old email with a nickname I didn’t want to use. I was stupid and didn’t realize that that nickname would apply here too.
                  So I created a new email, and new login here and copied over the same shark pic I’d just switched to there.
                  .
                  The links that you’re talking about might just take time to appear here, but what I’m confused about now is that I’m not getting any email notifications even though I’ve verified the email addy.
                  .
                  I’ll wait to see what happens. Maybe I’ll go back to the old email address and just use the new nickname instead of this some form of ACSIS.
                  .
                  With Seth’s brilliant steps for ascertaining socking, you’ll all know it’s really me anyway ;-)

                  • Jane St.Clair says:

                    My nickname on Gravatar isn’t anything close to my name here…

                    • acsiss says:

                      Really? OH, I think I understand now (Thanks to both of you.). Let me try…

                    • ACSIS says:

                      Thank you both rho and Jane!
                      I’m me again, such as I am…

                      • rhorho says:

                        YAY!!

                        So glad to see you back to “yourself” again!

                        • ACSIS says:

                          I haven’t commented on your new icon. Is this the Spring look?

                        • rhorho says:

                          It’s Passionflower “Incense.” It should be a
                          summer one, but I was tired of the other.

                          The Passion Vine produces Passion Fruit, but
                          this particular hybrid is sterile. I have this
                          one, but didn’t take this photo. I plan to
                          replace avatars from time to time with
                          different photos from my gardens, like the
                          other (Shasta Daisy) one.

                          It will keep the sharks guessing. ;-)

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          Ummm, I still see the Daisy with the caterpillar. Is this not what I should be seeing?

                        • ACSIS says:

                          Nope, clear your cache. it’s very clearly a passion flower.

                        • Summoner says:

                          It’s both. Some posts have one flower and some the other.
                          She must be socking. GET HER!

                        • ACSIS says:

                          So is it the new custom now to blame rho and her troll kibble (or whatever it is called) whenever one of these shows up?
                          .
                          You also might want to consider getting the kind that makes gravy when you add water. They might leave prints behind and we could be sure they’ve gone back under their bridge.

                        • rhorho says:

                          [Link] Here’s a better photo of this cultivar.

                          There are at least 100 named cultivars, in
                          all shapes and sizes.

                        • rhorho says:

                          Sorry, *colors and sizes

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          I don’t know how to clear my cache, as you put it Acsis, sorry! I’m a techi tard. Btw, Rho, I just got back from reading that lol with the girl in the sink you and froo were talking about. I’m so sorry I missed that one! I could only stand to get about halfway down the page of that trainwreck though.

                        • ACSIS says:

                          @Jane
                          The easiest way which should work on both IE and FF is to hold down the Shift key when you click on the Refresh/Reload button on your browser.

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          SWEET!!!!!! I love learning new stuff!

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          Oh and I like your’s and Rho’s avatars now that I can see them!

                        • ACSIS says:

                          Thanks. The one that’s showing for me now is a second one. What do you think it looks like? It is still the cookie cutter shark, I just think it looks like something else too…

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          I like it! I gotta tell you, though, it just looks like a fish to me.

                        • rhorho says:

                          Thank you, ACSIS! Fun to learn, and good
                          to know!
                          -
                          Quick question, Dear: How *exactly* do you
                          know that the Troll Kibble™ doesn’t make
                          gravy when you mix it with water, hmmm?

                        • ACSIS says:

                          @Jane, if you search on thsi page for acsiss, you’ll see the first one I used.
                          I think I like the other one better.

                        • ACSIS says:

                          @rho,
                          umm, well you see, umm…
                          hmmm
                          I..no, you, umm, no
                          I know! Jane told me!

                        • rhorho says:

                          Jane, to search, use control + f, and a
                          search box should pop up.

                        • rhorho says:

                          ACSIS, that’s not a fish tale, is it?

                        • ACSIS says:

                          This new one? No, that’s still the cookie cutter shark’s head, seen from below.

                        • rhorho says:

                          No, I meant “fish tale” as in a sorry excuse
                          or weak defense. I’m not convinced that
                          you’re being forthright about the Troll
                          Kibble™, and there is the matter of the
                          missing bag.

                          Further, there is the fact that tonight’s sock
                          posted under you three times…

                        • ACSIS says:

                          Ok, I’ll let you in on a little secret, but you can’t tell anyone
                          I really am every troll who has ever been on this board since the day you first started making your delicious kibble.
                          I can’t help it damn it! It’s addictive!
                          .
                          If you’d left out the crack!, I wouldn’t be addicted and I wouldn’t have to come and steal it so often.

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          Ah, I found it. Type ‘Stereo’ as a search, it’s the first one.

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          Crap, this wasn’t supposed to go here. Nesting fail on me. :(

                        • rhorho says:

                          Shhh! You’re not supposed to ab-blay
                          about the ack-cray!

                          Well, now that you’re ooked-hay, I’ll keep
                          you supplied until one of those do-gooders
                          comes along and tries to reform you.

                          Are you any good at minioning? I just hired
                          one minion, but really need two, because
                          no truly evil person has “minion.” That’s
                          just not done. If you could work with Eric
                          (the other minion), then we could call this
                          whole little TK™ controversy a foggy
                          memory, and I could freely use the word
                          “minions,” and mean it.

                          Not to tempt you overmuch, but my newest
                          formula is good for your teeth and makes
                          your coat shiny.

                          *slips ACSIS a sample*

                          How about it?

                          *shakes bag noisily*

                        • rhorho says:

                          @ Jane: PK has been acting weird tonight.
                          I got one post with a link on here, then
                          none of the others with links would “stick.”

                          You don’t think this place is haunted, do
                          you? *nervously glances around*

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          Yes. The twisted souls of vanquished trolls will occasionally cause havoc to those that brought them so low. You hear they’re moaning on nights like tonight.

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          See! They even changed my their to a incorrect they’re!

                        • rhorho says:

                          Uh, Jane? That was you just then, wasn’t it?

                          …that loud, eating-with-mouth-open sound?

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          Umm, hate to break it to you Rho, but I was browsing past lols (I found the first lol I ever commented on, *sigh* I was so innocent in those days…)

                        • rhorho says:

                          Something tells me the difference between
                          a dead one and a live one may be hard to
                          gauge, anyway. *shrugs*

                          How fun for you! I love to go through the
                          old LOLs, but I have to fight back the urge
                          to post on them. Do you get that?

                        • Jane St.Clair says:

                          Yes! I’ve had maybe once or twice started to jump on and burn somone and then I remind myself that it’s from freaking June, no one is gonna see it!

                        • rhorho says:

                          LOL–Thanks! I’m glad I’m not the only one!
                          ;-)

          • rhorho says:

            Next time you post, just above the comment input field there is a
            blue underlined link, that says something like “log out.” If you click
            on that, the familiar three boxes (name, email, URI) will reappear,
            and you will be ACSIS again.

    apparently no firefighters looking at this…what’s funny is that this guy is actually the one burning the shit. And he’s probably enjoying it, too!

    • firefighter_raven says:

      He’s using a Very pistol (like a flare gun) to do a burnout. It’s a tactic used in wildland fire to remove fuel between a fireline and the main fire… especially on large fires that you can’t get close to.
      and yes I know many that find using the pistols fun

  8. Aedriel says:

    On a not-really-related note, I have this glass alcohol lamp, and about 5 minutes ago I tried to blow out the stone. It was being stubborn so I blew really hard, and the whole thing went *FHOOM* and the stone/wick launched from it like a flaming projectile, and when it landed it nearly caught the carpet on fire. Luckily I was wearing shoes and so was able to smother it before it engulfed anything.

    There’s my excitement for the evening…

    • pittypat says:

      Aedriel now honey it’s time to put down that peach schnapps-filled bong and go get yourself a nice strong cuppa black coffee there’s a dear ;)

      • pittypat says:

        PS: you ok? You still have eyebrows?

        • Aedriel says:

          LOL… yes, I’m fine. It was just a shock, it’s never done the projectile thing before, although it’s not the first time the thing nearly burnt my apartment down. It must be cursed… I think I’ve only lit it 2 or 3 times in its whole history and had it act normal…

        • rhorho says:

          That happened to me at my first rent house, with a hallway natural gas
          heater. I had to draw my eyebrows on until they grew back in. For
          weeks, I looked like my grandmother’s sister, except she drew hers in
          a little higher…like her forehead, pretty much. That woman always
          looked surprised… /ramble

          • Aedriel says:

            One time my dad asked me to go start the grill, and I couldn’t get it to ignite, (I’m sure everyone’s done this at some point, on purpose or no…) Eventually it *FHOOM*’d and yeah…

    I’m pretty sure that looks like Will Smith.
