Sorry, that's just too lame compared to Quark's. You don't even get to shoot anything.
Tall tree, short ropes, fix stupid.

Agreed. If you didn't know, if you do the Quark one like 7 times in a row it changes  :cool:
edit: (so you need to make enough elements to keep "deleting")

So there's one thing Quark has done better.

Quote from: pspdfppdfx on January 16, 2014, 12:26:37 PMGot a painful ear infection today, and well, this just cheered me up a bit.  :drunk3:

Hope you're luckier than me - my eardrum ruptured on Sunday night due to an ear infection I didn't even know I had! Take my advice - if you feel the pressure building in one ear and it doesn't get any better within a few hours, go to the ER! Mine started with a slight feeling of my ear needing to "pop", but it wouldn't and it got more and more uncomfortable. From the first sign til it ruptured was about 7 hours. Now I have ringing in that ear and a constant flow of pink fluid for the past few days.

Holy crap! Glad I went to the walk-in clinic then, they gave me drops and antibiotics. My neck was getting swollen and my jaw was starting to ache.

He told me if it got worse to get to emergency asap. He said my ear drum was inflamed and well, what happened to you could have happened to me.

Now I get to see an Ear, Nose and Throat specialist on Monday to find out if I need surgery. At least the drainage stopped, though!

I had ear surgery once where they had to cut through the skull behind the ear. Most painful thing I've ever experienced. Hopefully you won't get to experience that!

So what are you guys sticking in your ears to cause all these infections?

to be perfectly honest  :drunk3: i have a tendency to get excessive ear wax producing and am prone to straightening out a paper clip, looping the end up and yanking and scraping the said wax out.  :drunk3: so the wife finds these tools all over the house and yells at me alot for doing this. when i told her about the infection, she slped me upside the head telling me she told me not to poke about in my ears eith the damned clips.  :drunk3:

just sayin...
