An Article About Flashaholics in the Huffington Post

Maybe I should switch my avatar from the green lantern to the riddler then. ;-)

Nein, mein Deutschelanders!

Li-ion ist nicht fur der fingerpoken UND mittengraben! Earschplittenloudenboomer! Spitzensparken! Blowenfusen! Ja!

Oh no! Ze Germans are coming!Frown

Oh_No!

LOL! What a great, written article. :slight_smile:

Thank you! Well, most of you.

Yes, I've been hiding in plain view.

Clearly there are some here who don't consider this probing, serious-minded investigative journalism. But those people are probably interested in dull stuff like revolution and famine. They can't be helped.

Nice article visigoth! quite entertaining.

This will certainly boost HP's readership. Their stock will definitely rise for a day or two after this article makes it way through the net. Normally that rag of the left wing propaganda machine would never be seen on my screen. Even a dead clock is right twice a day. Thumbs up to HP on this one in a million accurate articles.

It was awesome, Douglas and your affection for Solarforce was merely a confirmation . . . for better or worse, you are one of us. There is no escape. I tried a rapid detox for a few months . . .

BTW - Did you ever find an L2r?

On February 7, 2011, AOL acquired the mass market[7] Huffington Post for US$315 million, making Arianna Huffington editor-in-chief of The Huffington Post Media Group

If AOL wants BLF ... they just need to bring a bucket full of cash . Mr.Admin . will cave to such pressure .

Glad to see that BLF is having an external influence on the world at large .

No, I never found an L2r.

(And the politics of the Huffington Post are a bit less homogeneous than people might think. Especially in Canada: my editor is the wife of the man who coined the term "Axis of Evil.")

Croatia Rules!!

LOLz

at least Toni Kukoc does!

The Puffington Host usually brings-out the Andy Rooney in me.

Very nice read. The style is standard and you missed the cooking threads - embellishing it would have been hilarious.

How to bake you flashlight thread.

Excellent story... I laughed, I cried, you know the rest...

...you peed your panties???

LOL!

Especially this part...

"She thinks I've become financially irresponsible. But money can purchase diverse things, and why should our rent be more important than superior knurling?"

LMAO here :-)

It was a Dark and Stormy night, the kind of night when a nice cuppa Earl Grey tea would not come amiss. When at last a cheery "ding" emanated from the microwave across the room, I arose, and had taken nary a step, when suddenly the room was illuminated by a blast of lightening that was reminiscent of the terrible glow which once hovered over Hiroshima. And then the lights went out.

As I stood uncertainly in the pitch black cavern that had been my kitchen, I was suddenly filled by a warm feeling of confidence as I recalled that within my very pocket I had the perfect solution to my dilemma!!!

As a regular member of CPF, I had read asiduously the golden words authored by the Masters of the Flashlight Craft. Therefore, within my grasp was my Webley-Vickers 48650 Pocket Light Canon (V3.9). I had learned my lessons well!!! No silly Budget Lights for me!!!

But alas!!! As I confidently pressed the tailswitch (forward clicky with momentary On, of course), my hopes were dashed as my $800 flashlight blinked three times and then went as dark as the mouth of the cave that leads to the Temple of Doom.

But wait! Across the room, near the table where I had left two Red,silver and black Ultrafire 3000mA cells in the charger 24 hours before, a pair of glowing red spots stared at me like the eyes of some rough beast, its hour come round at last, waiting to be born.

As I watched, the pair of hideous eyes grew and grew, illuminating the room like the glow from the gates of Hell. One of the glowing spots began to spew noxious fumes, smelling not of brimstone and sulphur, but of Lithium!

As my mind struggled in vain to grasp the meaning of this macabre scene, there came an explosion, as if two IEDs had gone off in my face.

As my life's final curtain came down, with my last dying breath, my final thought was, "Why didn't I pay more attention to that article by Douglas Anthony Cooper in Huffington Post?".

Nice Steve!

Aw shucks

Well whaddya know? A news article that mentions BLF! A huge thanks to all of our friendly, informative users here that make this such a special place.

I *love* the article! :D

Funny and utterly sincere. Written by a real addict, with all the *real* knowledge of a person that knows the depths of the darkness (and how to fight it). ;)
