To be honest, I thought this was going to be a post timeout rant.

That happens to me a lot. Can't say I've had a "think before post moment". But, I have had it where I write a post, click submit, and then proceed to watch that little green bar creep along to see if it actually goes through.

I hate that. I use the iPhone app and sometimes when I hit the send button it tries to send for the longest time and then says there's a connection error. About 3/4 of the time it doesn't go through. The rest of the time I just cancel it and my reply shows up anyway.
 
He'll be my evil minion and my beer acquisition director. He can also take the fall if my dastardly plans go wrong since he can regenerate. I assume he can. Any self-respecting demon can do something as elementary as that. BUT, if the zombie apocalypse were to happen, he gets to take over and rule. I'm going to be too occupied making zed dry-limbed ale.

Mission accepted.....(my glasses explode now...........right?)

I think you saw my secret memo on letting the zed apocalypse (I prefer Zombie insurrection) occur and then become heros as we stamp it out, and THEN become Beer heros, since we saved a few zeds in our stable to provide fresh zeds, whose limbs we harvest to create a non reproduceable brew.

It can't fail.....as long as we can pass laws that allow convicted murderers to be infected by the zeds......

cheezy I really need to know what are you smoking and if you are willing to share some of it.

caught me red handed! Captain Black my love, nothing more.

No, my love of the nonsensical is to the core, far beyond what any drug could provide.

please get back on topic.......

Now, once the zombie insurrection begins, there are 5 key points to my plan.......

Well.... Captain Black and my over the top India Pale Ale.;)
 
What about posters regret? After the I'm replying, I'm replying, I'm.......not replying, ok I am replying. Then I sometimes get the "Why did I reply? I wonder if anyone will notice if I just delete it...."

I have done that as well.
 
A lot of the time I start typing a reply and when I re-read it I find that it's either sexist or racist. But it's not sexist AND racist, so I just say forget it and press back.

Try harder! You can do it!! You idiotic white males can't be expected to do that great so expectations are forgivingly low!
 
At least a few times a day this happens to me. I open a thread that peaks my interest, read the OP and any replies and decide I have something to add to the discussion. So I type out a reply(sometimes long), read back over it and decide I don't like something in my wording, or I want to add or take out something. Then I end up changing my mind and cancel the reply all together. Does anyone else do this often?

You mis spelled piqued. You really should at least glance at what you typed ;)

Yeah I guess my obsessive over thinking and re reading of my posts still failed me! That's it! I'm done! No more posts!
BTW, this post has been edited, re-edited, edited again and almost deleted four times.

That's nothing.

I deleted this reply 87 times, soaked it in bleach, Edited for color, re-edited to taste, erased the whole thing and typed a love letter to my shorts. I deleted that with extreme prejudice, wrote something obscene on my computer monitor with permenant ink, did 865 push ups and then hit submit, but ONLY after blindfolding myself and typing all of these random characters. It will be a miracle if this says anything in english.

It's not like moving your fingers around a keyboard is very taxing (pulmonary speaking). Wuss.

Depends on how heavy his fingers are.
 
Heavy fingers and the fact that I can't permenantly die do change the ballpark a little, but I compulsively hold my breath during a countdown.

Inadvertantly caused the apollo disaster.

So that's what started the fire. Bastard.
 
Funny, I do the same thing all the time. I'll think I have something relevant to add, and then realize I'm pretty much just regurgitating/rearranging what's already been said.
