Wow, I almost posted about punching you in the tulips, but I found it too ambiguous as to where I'd be punching you.
Anyway, you can lilac my balls.

Not to mention it didn't carry on the momentum and direction created by the previous post. It wasn't a good flow-er.

It did take me about 10 minutes and 5 google searches to come up with that. I am a mortal amongst gods.

I thought the ad had gone, but it's back again.
Do you guys running the show want me to use an ad-blocker or something?
Edit: Actually, it looks like it's no longer dropping down. Maybe.
Edit edit: Ooops. Yes, it's still dropping down.

Sorry, Doofy, but even when the front office folks get the news about a stupid ad, they often have to wait until "real" people in the advertisers' offices are at work to do anything about it. It HAS been reported and it WILL be addressed.
And if you use an ad blocker, who will know but you? <wink, wink, nudge, nudge>

I'm not into that. Hurts your revenue.

Please tell me the other one is not some kind of insinuation towards me ‘popping’ someone’s ‘corn’?

No, it doesn't. Ad blockers simply change the CSS display value from block/inline/undefined to none once the entire page has been loaded. The ads are still fetched.

Doesn't your screen get sticky over time from all of the tape you put on top of the ads?
