[mnreefman]

omg that is the funnies thread i have ever seen

[Thomas712]

I've seen it and I know where it came from.

125inTX - What the heck is on that cats head?

MNreefman - obviously you never read the Red Sponge Thread.

I'm not 125inTX, but I can answer the question.

I originally saw that pic in an email that was sent to me with this caption... "What to do when you have too much time on your hands, a lime, and a cat that you really don't like." :rotfl:

[mnreefman]

no i havent.... please link me up!

[Thomas712]

Not a chance, look for posts by a previous member Mr. Bubbles.
Warning longest thread ever.

[mnreefman]

thomas all you had to do was say "Sponge" then i woulda remembered..... lol that was hilarious

[kreach]

Ok, after seeing this legendary Red Tree Sponge thread mentioned multiple times, I finally broke down, did a search for it and then spent over an hour reading the whole thing.

Even without the pictures (which no doubt were hilarious), I couldn't help but actually laugh out loud at times simply because the whole thing was so ridiculous... :rotfl:

P.S. I am not a fake!

[mattiej]

I use to work in the industry and light bulbs are actually termed 'lighter uppers'. Their sole purpose is to allow us to see how much money we spend on our tanks on a daily basis.

HAHAHA great post:na-na:

Haha:rotfl: how did you remember that? Did you guys delete that tree spunge thread? I tried to fine it but couldnt. Your crazy!:D

[Wrassecal]

Shouldn't someone start a new thread called "how many forum members does it take to start a new thread called how many fourm members does it take to change a lightbulb"?
