[03:05:52] <Bytram> 200 lashes with a wet noodle ==> spaghetti for dinner
[03:05:34] <cmn32480> equals 200 lashes w/ a wet noodle...

[03:05:18] <Bytram> I dunno why my broswer pukes on those
[03:05:09] <cmn32480> that's what I get for copying the source from a page w/ ads that I don't see.. and half listenign to the yammering of the cub scout training

[03:04:37] <cmn32480> plausible
[03:04:28] <Bytram> or, maybe, incomplete morons?
[03:04:12] * cmn32480 notes that if people fail this they must be complete morons
[03:03:47] * cmn32480 is also half listening to the required cub scout training
[03:03:39] <Bytram> so: <a href="..." rel="noopener">
[03:03:30] <Bytram> actually the <a >...</a> was correct, but the <a also had: rel="noopener"
