Moreover, for me and other shipmates with hearing problems, a video without text is frustrating and useless.

A youtube example my apologies.
For the hard of hearing it's two giraffes fighting. As giraffes dont speak there is not much else to say.

At first glimpse, the idea of fighting by flailing their tiny heads at each other with their ponderous necks seems idiotic. But then you realize it's actually punk.
I suspect we need to check our Hellhost Benefits package to see if we cover gouged-out eye sockets.

Youtube took so long to load I had lunch instead. I'll save the eye-gouging for retaliation.

30 seconds of whacking each other with their heads then walking slowly side by side, presumably until minor concussion, headache and dizziness wear off, then repeat until one drops down dead/they have circled Africa.
How utterly dim. Why don't they just bite each other, or give each other a good swift kick? Or bribe a lion to lie in wait, or take out a Facebook page and unfriend each other, or something?

But enough with the giraffes. I've been thinking lately that this TICTH thread has been living for far too long. Maybe it's about time I closed it and forced you all to generate a proper thread about whatever thing is pissing you off, instead of piling it all up here.
I'm with you, dude. Listen, when the queen of tangents is saying, "Hey, the tangents are getting out of hand..."

Well then, TICTH idiots who won't let it go, despite numerous warnings and kill a thread for everyone else. Yeah, I suppose this includes me, so fuck it. This is why we can't have nice things.

Right, cue the trumpeter.
What do you mean, he's quit and left the trumpet behind on the grounds that it's a piece of shit? We paid good money for that on eBay.
Well get someone else to blow it.
Well, YOU blow it.
Prrrrp. Flghhl. Zhrrrr.
Oh forget it. FORGET it. ENOUGH!
Right. Hand me the scroll.
I gave you the scroll. I needed both hands to lug this fucking lyre up here.
Because this jacket doesn't have any fucking pockets, okay? Just hand me the fucking scroll.
Tomatoes. Pumpkin. Aspar...
What the fuck is this? This is your fucking grocery list! Where's the fucking SPEECH?!?
Right.
Hear ye, hear ye, hear ye.
Whereas this thread is now almost a year old, and it is not good for threads to have birthdays.
And whereas the original post that I wrote referencing pomegranates, and an unknown number of following posts, will randomly disappear from view, we know not whence they have gone (your guess is as good as ours).
And whereas the thread is showing other signs of ill health latterly including an infestation of giraffes.
Therefore the Regents of Hell declare as follows:
That the thread known as "TICTH (Special Edition)" shall henceforth be closed.
That Shipmates shall henceforth be encouraged to create new and separate threads to detail their greivances, rather than merely preceding them with a 5-letter acronym (although frankly there's nothing to stop you from using this acronym elsewhere if it makes you feel better).
That the deaths from mental exhaustion that will arise due to Shipmates being unused to composing opening posts are thoroughly acceptable. If you're looking for regret you've come to the wrong place.
BE IT SO ORDERED
-------------------- Technology has brought us all closer together. Turns out a lot of the people you meet as a result are complete idiots.
