In the late 60's to late 70's a popular exhibit at Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago was a video payphone that hooked up with another one in the same area.

It was also tied into the regular phone lines so when we got home we were able to call into it and prank the visitors bigtime.

I would love to know who originated the "Is your refrigerator running?" prank.

Probably the same person that originated the "Do you have Prince Albert in a can?" prank.

What happened to all the good threads, the controversies, the bannings, the bitter arguments, the complaints about Nazi mods?

Where is the passion?

Good lord, if there is anything worse then arguments, controversies and complaints it's good threads. Vanilla and congenial - that's the forum for me. And anybody who has a problem with that can shove it right up their ass.

and why should anyone start a thread about anything in this subforum? any legitimate questions will be met with stone cold silence because all mods protect all other mods even when they KNOW they're wrong. so what's the ****in point?

cowardly moderators is what happened to atf

I always thought that ATF was a forum for mods to troll the mundane posters.

We could let some of the more "memorable" posters back on.

Last edited by Doc T River; 06-03-2014 at 07:42 AM. Reason: Actually, we could ask for them to be let back on because I have no power to unban people.

I believe it ought to be a comma after the first arguments and a semi-colon after the second, though I'm not 100%. Can someone from the grammar nittery thread in oot please confirm?
