  • For more like this, try: matchsticks
  • The shockwave matchstick tricks are pretty neat. The second one stumped me for a while, but once i got the pattern I was able to get though them fairly quickly.
  • OK, bobbo ... that makes five links posted by you and all five are to mindbluff.com. I think it's time you explained exactly why that is.
  • Wolof: He wears pants?
  • Ooh, a callout. Could bobbo11, aka John, be John D, of Rhode Island, registrant of mindbluff.com? Stay tuned, folks. bobbo11, we're not here to judge, but if there's anything that you want to talk about...
  • I...I...being a webmaster is hard...I had...lemme finish...I have to make some tough decisions.................Of course I plan to link to other sites. I have to link to mindblu...I mean other sites.......I know that. And I will. But........................being a webmaster is hard work.
  • I vote that tracicle should reposition two - and only two - of bobbo11's links, so that we end up with four links to other sites and no links left over.
  • I vote that tracicle should reposition two - and only two - of bobbo11's links, so that we end up with four links to other sites and no links left over.
  • I also challenge her to reposition one - and only one - of the above comments, so that I do not look like a total fucktard and people do not laugh and point at me in the street.
  • ha! ha! /nelson
  • Furthermore, I challenge everyone to reposition two - and only two - petes_best, so that we end up with four Wolofs of equal size with no Nostrildamuses left over.
  • Oh, fuck, I know this one...it involves dirty underwear and a speedball somehow, doesn't it?
  • I guess the question is whether bobbo11 -- and only bobbo11 -- can confirm or deny the above conjecture, before I reposition the links to oblivion.
  • One may assume that a lack of a denial means that he has been found out after a certain ammount of time has passed.
  • Yes, deathly quiet in here. I vote to give himself a day to reply -- if nothing, nuke the links from orbit.
  • It's the only way to be sure.
  • Yes, it's the only way to be sure little bits of assploded ancient crappy puzzles don't get all over your best smock. Ring ring! Dat you, bobbo?
  • *smears on black face paint, hunkers down, waits for orders to "liberate" the thread*
  • Be free, little thread! Sally forth! Tally ho! The rest will be permanently, eh, liberated.
