    Search the I&S forum. Then NEVER mention it again. Much like F reedom L oaf, the joke is offcially dead.

    Arg. "no matches returned" my arse. Can you just provide a link?

    ~edit~

    Sent PM but I don't think he's going to answer. I've never seen a guy named smartbomb around here.

    <a href='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/index.php?showuser=11434' target='_blank'>Smart_Bomb</a> and his title are easy to find, but I think that the origional thread might be hidden away from view.

    I can find his return thread, but not the HWOF thread, lemme go look again

    I found the link in Forlorn's 6000-post post, but it appears to have been moved to a pt/dev/admin area.

    I recall it got locked, and then In most likely hood zunni nuked it when he was reorganizing S & I, but NSF never deletes stuff unless it's unwarented, so if you guys really want to find it PM'ing Nem0 is the way to go

    I visited the webpage & read the signature.

    Outside of a interesting name for a server and two pluggins I don't like (self-weld & no-onos) Don't really see any joke.

    Well if you can't find it that'll be fine, maybe it was deleted. I'm not going to force anyone to retell a joke if they don't want to.

    It was basically SB giving a lot of stupid ideas, and an alien lifeform (that looked like a scorpion) that hovered without flapping was one of them. I can't honestly remember whether SB was actually just dim or if he was pretending.

    Basically, he gave a big long list of really silly suggestions, made even more humorous by his overall lack of proper spelling and grammar. The catchphrase from the post was a suggestion that the Kharaa get a scorpion that "hovers" without flapping.

    They were pretty run-of-the-mill as far as I&S went back then. My personal favourite is still the Hive Slug. This slug could move hives around on its back, like a snail's shell. I think someone (Dr.d?) has it as his avatar.

    It's a pretty common misconception. He did not say a scorpion that hovers without flapping. He said a scorpion OR SOMETHING that hovers without flapping.

    honestly, I dont' know. I stopped reading the post around.. oh.. say, when I realized he was talking about venus fly traps eating people.


    x5, these vines are vines that will attack you when you're <b>looken</b> the other way.

  • docchimpydocchimpy Join Date: 2003-07-19 Member: 18266Members
    No, sorta like Tentacles.

    Ask Venmoch OLOLO.

    That's another running joke- Venmoch is a tentacle fan, apparently.
  • ThansalThansal The New Scum Join Date: 2002-08-22 Member: 1215Members, Constellation
    Venmoch is the one who knows to much about tentacle pr0n

    smart bomb's post was a long list of very bad ideas

    the scorpion that hovers with out flaping

    the equivilent of barnacles
    and some other bad ideas.

    basicaly it was "This is how NOT to make a thread in S&I" (and yes, when he posted it was still S&I)

    There are ALOT of silly injokes in ever comunity, this is no exeption.

    free dome loaf is another (was a very well done joke, that got ruined and then officaly burried)

    badkarma's death will probably be added

    MonsE's hatred of sunyD drinking kids is another.

    there are many instances.

    just stick around and you will learn of many new ones that always come up <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/smile-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

    nah, freedomloaf (still in there?) was a prank pulled by a few members, unfortunatly it didn't work perfectly, though close.

    it was officaly declared taboo though. (thus why it might stil lbe in the swear filter)


    Oh, and Bob.

    Bob, bob, bob, bob (bob also used to be in the swearfilter)

    bob was the original nick name for skulks (back when they were levels 1 - 5)

    I'm a snark fan. (or squeaks or herpies as some people call them)

    They're so cute and then they gore your eyes out, but they obey my every whim.

    [GP] Kitty is my master.

    I have unofficialy calimed the title of God of the Ant Lion on the Steam forums.
