I'm assuming this photo was taken right before the neighbours smelt the burning flesh.



In other news, Christmas has come and gone. It's been a hectic time all round. If anyone wants to help out with the site please post me an email.





Brian commented on January 6, 2008

And how many Darwin awards will we be needing today? Poached eggs, anyone? The plugs look European . . . German, actually! Welcome back, Q.



J.B. commented on January 7, 2008

I think this is the pic that Q took right before he disappeared. Welcome Back Quintem!



Skitzn commented on January 7, 2008

Who invited "Sparky" to the party anyway? Welcom back Q...



BW commented on January 7, 2008

Clearly not plugged in. These guys wouldn't have enough time to get a picture taken. Looks like this photo was staged. Btw, after stealing/wrecking that car and being put on house arrest Q, you should have plenty of time to run the site.



john commented on January 7, 2008

"Anybody feel a tingle?" Welcome Back



Q commented on January 7, 2008

nayger please, that extension cord is not plugged in. Funny pic, though



reality commented on January 7, 2008

Quintem is back!!! yippy yippy yippy! New posts too, Hooray!!! Yeah yeah yeah yeah!!! Okay, now that I got that outtadaway, another innovative way to put your flip-flops to good us.!



reality commented on January 7, 2008

I meant "to good use." I was too excited, sorry for the mistype, heh.



Konfuzed Monkee commented on January 7, 2008

It ma not be plugged in now.. but who wants to guess there was some drunk debating it in the backround waiting for the shutter to click. Welcome back Quintem!!!



vontar commented on January 8, 2008

sure it is faked, but lets have fun. Beer protection system is now enaged! Hell for an alcoholic? last one Ok guys, here is the contest, whoever can stay in the pool the longest gets the cold beer.



Dbagger commented on January 8, 2008

I cannot see from the picture what the item that is suposidly plugged in is anyway. Any suggestions



vontar commented on January 8, 2008

I believe the item in question is an electric Grill.



Yippee! commented on January 9, 2008

i had just about given up hope that you would come back, Q nice to see you around again!!



BW commented on January 9, 2008

Did anyone volunteer to help out with the site? If not, I see another month before any updates...



anon commented on January 9, 2008

I nominate Humberto, the illegal alien



vontar commented on January 13, 2008

To answer BW, I did Volunteer to help with the site, emailed him as requested.



Earnie commented on January 15, 2008

I wonder if the amount of water in the pool would make this dose of electricity non-lethal, does anyone have any thoughts on this? I know that amount of water has to factor in somehow.



stan commented on January 17, 2008

Pure water does not conduct electricity so it would really depend on the amount of contaminants in the water not the ammount of water in the pool as I am sure they used distilled water to fill the pool and mitigate some of the risk. And besides it looks like it is grounded so lets hope they plugged into a GFI.



Q commented on January 17, 2008

My comment should, like, totally be in yellow. WTF?



Reality commented on January 17, 2008

Yes, I see, scientifically speaking the gravitational pull of the moons gravity in conjunction with the circular motion of the Earth's perpetual spin and the lights from the sun reflecting off the surface layers of Mercury, Venus, and Mars, The Electro-magnetic frequency of the region at the time the picture was taken, along with humidity indicator, wind speed, and atmospheric pressure, wait a minute, were they using a two prong or a three prong cord and did they use a water filtration system while filling up the pool or did they fill up half cold-water and the rest Hot-water by running a hose from their water heater? Can anyone please tell me the molecular structure of the base of that pool? And another thing, did anyone urinate in the pool, because we need to determine how lethal the current would be if you happen to get electrocuted. No we do not care how stupid you are if you actually try to pull off this stunt. On second thought, that would be a great scientific finding. How low would your I.Q. have to be to actually plug in the damn extension cord? heh (I am just joking with this comment, please don't take seriously because I know some of you will)



Skitzn commented on January 17, 2008

LOL @ (Reality's comment)!!! That's some of the funniest psycobabble I've read in a long time. LOL!!! Now someone plug that puppy in to an outlet so we can test the theory.



Troy commented on January 19, 2008

You know I have looked at that picture over and over - and just noticed they are floating the power strip with a pair of sandals on each side



G commented on January 20, 2008

Sheesh! What some people will do to heat a pool.



mojo3000 commented on January 22, 2008

BOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! This website now officially SUCKS!!!!!!!!



anon commented on January 24, 2008

why doesnt this website just shut down ? its incredibly useless...no new information ever whats the point ?



Houston commented on January 25, 2008

Picture of Snap and Crackle... taken by Pop.



Earnie commented on January 30, 2008

BW, are you and A.W. one and the same? You sound like the same person.



BW commented on January 30, 2008

We do? Explain the logic behind your enlightening hypothesis...also, don't you think that if I was posing as two people, I might come up with screen names a little less alike?



Skitzn commented on January 31, 2008

Something like C.W. would probably fool us all...right Earnie?



vontar commented on February 2, 2008

30 days? Quintem did you ever look into getting some help with this site? I know I sent you an email on it.



Jazz commented on February 6, 2008

This site f*cking sucks now. What happened?



Earnie commented on February 8, 2008

Yeah, I think you would probably come up with something less similar...That is if you had an ounce of intelligence. I am just saying that it's odd that once the comment tracking was introduced, A.W. stopped posting, and you continued. Plus, you have the same style of writing...When I posted as my alter ego, I tried to use a style that was totally opposite of the way I write as Earnie...Can you guess who else I am? He is pretty well known here.



BW commented on February 11, 2008

You had an alter ego? On the internet? What a f'ing loser. Get a life.



Earnie commented on February 11, 2008

I have just as much of a life as you do BW/A.W., you douche bags. That's funny, I can remember instances when you were arguing with each other (yourself)....and you tell ME to get a life?



Reality commented on February 11, 2008

wow, I am only a spectator, but let's keep the arguing going Earnie and B.W., Sure gives me a reason to visit this site, heh. Earnie, your alter ego wouldn't happened to be skitzin would it?



BW commented on February 12, 2008

You had an alter ego? On the internet? What an f'ing loser.



Earnie commented on February 12, 2008

Reality- No, I'm not skitzin, but nice try. BW/A.W., why don't you just go off in some corner and start arguing with yourself, since that seems to keep you entertained. I tried being nice on here, and I have to say, it was about as fun as sitting in an empty room talking to yourself. (That's why BW/A.W. had so much fun with it). Since there is never any new material, my only joy here is burning BW/A.W. I bet I can guess what their next comment is: "You had an alter ego? On the internet? What an f'ing loser."



Reality commented on February 12, 2008

Wait a minute, I GOT IT! Earnie, your alter ego is A.W.! Or am I wrong again? Okay, this getting hard, throw me some clues here please. hahaha



Earnie commented on February 12, 2008

Nope, reality, you were way off with that one. I have only posted as him a couple of times since comment tracking because I can only post as him from home, and I don't like to waste my time on this crap at home, only work;). That's the only clue you get, and strike 3 means no more guesses, so make it a good one!



Earnie commented on February 12, 2008

And by a couple of times, I meant 6.



Skitzn commented on February 12, 2008

Well at least there is a little activity on the site. Q



Earnie commented on February 12, 2008

WTF kind of name is Skitzn anyway? It sucks that we have to resort to bashing people just to get our kicks. Does anyone know of another site like this that you can leave comments on pictures, articles, etc? Anyone interested in starting one?



Jimmy John commented on February 17, 2008

this picutur is reel. it definittly is not altured in any way shap or form. the olny thing i can think of is that mabee the power cord was not pluged in to the lite sockit. and scru all you jurks that are sayin that on pictur is a dolpin, BECAUSE I NOW FOR A FUKIN FACT THAT IT IS A SHARKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!



Reality commented on February 19, 2008

It's a dolphin.



Skitzn commented on February 20, 2008

Skitzn is our way of abbreviating here in the nut house. (schizophrenic) You see, I've been here for about five years now, the internet is the only real entertainment I get. They wouldn't even let me watch the World Series. Earnie...Jimmie John, it is a dolphin.



Reality commented on February 20, 2008

They didn't let you watch the World Series, but yet they let you surf the World Wide Web??? Help me out here people cuz I'm confused. stumped



Skitzn commented on February 21, 2008

I sneak into the doc's office to use the computer when they are seeing other...well...nuts!!!



BW commented on February 22, 2008

I'm sure there are plenty of mental facilities that have doctors who allow their schizophrenic patients to sneak into their offices and use their computers. Anyone else smell that? What is that smell???



Skitzn commented on February 25, 2008

Well if the doctors allowed me, it wouldn't be sneaking now would it? "One Flew Over The Cookoo's Nest"...Great movie!!! Good thing I saw it before the meltdown. Got to go, nurse Hackett is coming.



Is it done yet? commented on March 4, 2008

Is it time to stick a 'fork' in this website and says its WELL DONE, AND OVER with?



Reality commented on March 4, 2008

I agree. This website has been abandoned. If found, please return to rightful owner.



J.B. commented on March 4, 2008

yep this site is officially dead



Shane commented on March 17, 2008

Perhaps the photo is authentic and Q was in the pool?



vontar commented on March 18, 2008

I have to agree, looks like Q is MIA, I sure would like to own this website, it could be fun I am sure.



EvilWon commented on March 28, 2008

This is sad this was such a fun site to check out during working hours



Rizzo commented on April 1, 2008

Major bummer



Brian commented on April 8, 2008

Deleted from my bookmarks.



chihwikud commented on April 12, 2008

perhaps the 2girls1cup post did him in. this was a nice site that wasnt blocked at work-ok so is mentalfloss and that isnt blocked either.



BW commented on April 14, 2008

FYI: Hey I just received an email from Quintem. He says new stuff is coming next week (and on a regular basis for that matter)!



Reality commented on April 21, 2008

Now that's news BW!!! heh



Diamond commented on April 22, 2008

Thats great! Hopefully it was not a late April Fools Joke.



Earnie commented on April 25, 2008

Hey guys, FYI, I just received an email from Quintem, he wanted me to tell you guys that the sky is falling! Everybody RUN!! BW, you are full of ****e.



vontar commented on April 29, 2008

Just checking in, still no updates. wondering if BW is telling a story.



BW commented on May 1, 2008

Hey everyone, just received another email from Quintem. He says the site should be back to normal when Earnie quits getting off by responding to everything BW posts. I guess that means the site is officially dead.



Quintem commented on May 5, 2008

Sorry that I haven't been updating the website as of late. I've been overloaded with work for the past few months. vontar, I've read your e-mail and replied, check your mailbox. Thanks for being so patient.



vontar commented on May 5, 2008

To bad that was not the real Quintem, all i had to do was click the name to know it was not Quintem, as that poster had 1 post. Nice Try. Quintem has my email if he wants to contact me.



Earnie commented on May 7, 2008

A Haiku: Ah, BW; What a fracking gay homo!; He dreams about men!



BW commented on May 8, 2008

I wish this site would get back to normal...new material everyday, intelligent posts, no guys writing poems about me. Is that too much to ask?



Earnie commented on May 14, 2008

It is what it is...



Rizzo commented on May 15, 2008

OMFG where are the new pics Q???? Dear God in Heaven what has happened to this jewel of a website?



Wire commented on May 16, 2008

What ever happened to that Spanish typing guy?



Diamond commented on May 16, 2008

Hey guys, I found this site that is similar to this one, they post random pics and you can comment on them. They post new stuff several times a day, and they have a RSS feed. Ya'll should check it out, since Q decided not to come back after all. Here is the link: www.myconfinedspace.com/



siteis done for commented on June 6, 2008
