Wikipedia image description win. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanguard_(rocket)
"Rapid unplanned disassembly:" a common occurrence for Vanguard rockets

[KaguroDraven]

I am now in love whoever made that description.

[warhammer651]

I am now in love whoever made that description.

seconded. I'm going to use that phrase from now on when something goes catastrophically wrong.


In other news, the Trebuchet I built in my Engineering class underwent unplanned rapid disassembly

[Leonon]

Alright. Toad spoke so... I guess we should try our part and keep this sub forum from spinning out of control. I thought it was a bit of an overreaction but if Toady is saying it too we're doing something wrong here.

I think it was because he wasn't happy in the happy thread. Now we can all go back to being happy.

[Gunner-Chan]

It makes me wonder. Does that make a planned demolition a rapid planned disassembly?

[warhammer651]

I think it does

[KaguroDraven]

Most likely Janet. Speaking of that topic, I used to want to be in the business of "Rapid Planned Disassembly", most becouse said job would let me blow stuff up.

Yeah, sounds about right to me.

All hail the magnanimous Toad, and it's nice to see some people agreeing that yeah all the character drama and ~~~~ and stuff was getting seriously overboard.

[Leafsnail]

Well... at least this thread didn't suffer the same fate as the Vangurad rockets.

[LordNagash]

I'd appreciate a little more direction or on-topicness or something.  Things are slowly headed toward a place it's best we not return to.  I'd also appreciate it if people not pick fights.  Dasleah has been muted for 3 days (I removed several posts relating to that from this thread).

So, everyone else fills this pointless thread up with a load of stupid shit, and Dasleah is the one to get muted? What could he possibly have said that's worse than the content you didn't delete?

Any big forum I've ever been to, pointless zero content stream-of-thought threads like this are locked on sight

I really wish those posts hadn't been deleted, so I could see what was wrong with them.

He kinda mentioned it there. And despite how many times this thread gets drama it is ultimately a good place for people to chat and have a conversation.

[Vector]

Basically, having one big rambly thread like this means that we don't have hundreds of little mini-threads about random crap that made us happy.

And xkcd (which is far larger than we are) has an equivalent thread.  They're a little bit less off-topic, but it's not like it was "instantly deleted," as you posited.

[Urist Imiknorris]

We're somewhat more laid back in the happy thread, partly out of fear of Janet.

[Keita]

Off Topic: Can we not talk about this in the same thread that just got in trouble? I feel really bad fro contributing to the maddness or not helping it and getting off scott free while someone else takes the fall but no one can do anything about it.

On Topic: Happy because I've got a new NinVidea graphocs card on the way which means I can finaly use the new AMD chip I've got XD
