Angry AARRG! II Failed me! Where's that damn page???

A cute girl in the computer lab I sat down next to was looking at one of those knockoffs of Oxidizing Material's "if you've set yourself on fire, do not run" government signs. I proclaimed I knew where there was about 20 pages of the things on the original website, to impress her. I come here and start looking. I know I saw someone post the mirror site address around here somewhere...

BUT NO! It's GONE! I can't find it anywhere! Eventually the cute girl has to leave, not only robbing me of my chance to get her e-mail address, but making me feel very sheepish and embarassed!

*kicks II*

You suck.

I've found it to crash sometimes too. It sucks. I mean, yeah internet traffic may be high, but...

Three times I've randomly run across places where someone had plagiarized portions of that thread that included ones that I did. Damn I almost feel special. I wish they would credit the authors.

Two weeks ago a friend of mine, who has a great sense of humor, e-mailed me a link to one of those knock-off sites. I was happy to let her know that I had been aware the thread since its inception and pointed her to this site. I say "great job" to Oxidizing Material, et al., for such an ingenious send up.
