Wonder what that was. Looked like the top popped off an LP or gasoline tank - perhaps a gasoline generator? Whatever it was, the arcing stopped when it blew.
Edit: Apparently it was a diesel generator substation.

Anyway, has anyone seen my pet squirrel?

Looked like that could have cost him a finger. Fortunate for him and for whoever threw it, I suspect.

A most cubist beaver.
One might even mistake it for a box.




So, how do you feel about your beaver being felt?

Perhaps you were thinking he'd be pleased to punch you?

I want very much for this to be real. It just seems like a lot of fun.
There's so many unpredictable variables involved, though, even before the actual launch.

I like the German(?) word for beanbag chair (from the source file name): Leenbakker.
Leen Bakker is a Dutch\Belgian furniture store, but the German term for "beanbag chair" is still awesome: "sitzsack".

Note: Kitchen Gun only functions if user exclaims "bang" with each shot.

Wait, there's been a comment section this whole time?

Dangit, now we have to move again.

Once this community grows too large, people don't know each other and they become strangers.I think you're describing the Monkeysphere.

@zombieater
It seems like the solution there (at least in theory) is robust, scalable, tiered community self-moderation. Pure democratic up\down voting like some communities have isn't enough, I don't think. You need to have a way to distribute moderation powers to those who demonstrate the responsibility to wield them, and I like the idea of different levels of power (e.g.: power users, deputies, moderators, administrators, owners, etc).

Thanks, Sifty! Gotta keep on my toes, or @ant might try to reclaim his spot on the Badge Top!
