Magnetic letters
on your fridge?
Imagine if anyone on the web could be moving them around.
It can leave one feeling some what helpless.
Friday fun.

pesky letter-stealing apes!
-
Oh darn. Why doesn't this show up when I search the site with the link? / hides letters, in shame.
-
it's coming from a different URL in the first link, so it won't show up in a search. otherwise it's the same thing. sneaky!
-
Thanks, patita, I'll have to do more through keyword searches in future. I thought that url's stayed in place.
-
someone probably got the code from the original and put up their own site or something... I remember the penguin baseball game had about 10 different sites hosting it, all with the same content.
-
oh my. missed it the first time 'round. that's amazing. heh. i love dismantling peoples' piles of letters they've been carefully working on.

Why is it that almost anything like this reveals the worst in human nature? My time there showed a predomination of racist, obscene, and misogynist words/comments. Is it some sort of E-Tourette's where the barriers to the prohibited are lowered? I dunno. But, to me, it's mind-bogglingly puerile.
-
It reminded me of when I worked in community corrections and had put some of these on the front of my metal desk. Clients would play with them as we talked and I always enjoyed seeing, afterwards, what they had done. Some sorted by colour, others by vowels and consonants. They would spell their or their loved one's name and countless variations. Strangely, I rarely found profanity, even when I was the bad guy in their life. I was always trying to analyse their efforts, after.
-
I don't find the language used as distuburbing as the destuctiveness towards each other resulting in a complete lack of communication, but it is not surprising.
-
I don't have even the least fucking problem with profanity per se. But there's something very disapointing to me that spelling out "fuck" is the #1 activity there. What, are people nine years old? I don't get it.
-
Muffpub: You are mean. Leave my letters alone or I'm going to tell on you.
-
kmellis, perhaps it's the inner urges of unsatisfied geeks being expressed. No offence to monkey geeks intended. They just have one basic need...to get fucked? Or it's the need for shock value. Too minor a detail to bother about. / wish I knew what granma was trying to spell.
-
Join me in my crusade to keep the upper left corner free of all letters.
-
I remember visiting this (or something just like it) during a time when the letters were being formed into pictures like a fish or an arrow. It was cool.
