Ambiguous posting icons Can't Post

Been a bit red-faced to inquire about this before because I figure it's explained somewhere but oh well ....

How are the above icon symbols supposed to be used: the spotlight (?), the mug, the megaphone (?), and most especially, the green weevil ?????

P.S. I used the infuriated frownie icon because I wanted to have a chance to use it just once. No harm intended! Wink Angelic

A farm emergency! [In reply to] Can't Post

While drinking hard cider out of your mug and spotlighting around the fields, you note the dreaded green weevils in the corn and megaphone a warning to other farmers.
*Ta-dum*
Note this has no actual relevance to using the icons, I'm just entertaining myself.Wink

Ha ha, that's how they do it in Tolkienia, right? [In reply to] Can't Post

Phew, and I've always fretted on what to do if I ever found myself in that situation.

Thanks, Brethil!

Yes, its Tolkienia-style, in the 'Thieves! Fire! Murder!' school of thought [In reply to] Can't Post

and I wonder what the math is when calculating the amount of hard cider imbibed proportional to the number of green weevils seen.


Maybe we can study that at the University of Tolkienia.

No, that only offered at Ag. College [In reply to] Can't Post

over near the Entwives museum. It offers quite advance coursework, including a Scholastic Phlosiphy course where the students try to determine how many weevils can dance on the handle of a pitchfork.

Oddly, while the college is have trouble attracting grants, thousands of aphids have applied.

I've seen them do The Wave at other aphid-inclusive campuses. "Weevil, Weevil rock you!" Very stirring.


Of course as soon as their little bug checks clear, I'm going to douse them all in neem oil. Can't help myself.

You know, maybe 'weevil' (small letters) isn't so bad [In reply to] Can't Post

Maybe its a clever mashup representing mild naughtiness, like 'evil' that is 'wee'; as in, "I ate the last English muffin and put a rolled up napkin in its place to fool you all,' versus WE! EVIL! as in Trump's hairpiece.
