Answer - A bomb is really a package of cigars that has been sent to a person unsollicited and unannounced. They are a gift to the person who recieves them. Some people may fear getting this type of a gift.



Maybe I missed the message..
Both question and answer stated above

That wasn't the question.... That was a copy and paste from the FAQ on bombs.. The question was when did bombing become an announced event.

I guess it never got announced, but did become just that at times. Perhaps we should change the name from bomb to something else to appease whoever is offended by the wrong use of the term.

Would that work? Perhaps we can start a separate thread with a petition

Bomb - unknown sneak attack

Proposal
Nuclear/postal/etc - partially known attack to a fellow BOTL in the interest of surprising the receiving deserving party with gifts, without interest of recognition or personal gain of any sort.

FWIW, I think the rash of recent incoming posts have been a riot and I enjoy watching the tale as it's told. That being said I also like the posts where somebody post pics of carnage with no idea who its from. Usually with both you get some sort of report on how the gift made somebody's day, which as Scott so eloquently described above is what it's all about. It's a gift and the giver can give it however they want.

(This just about the least "look at me" place on the interwebs).

I haven't seen anyone post on here that they are offended or that they wanted the name to be changed. Seems like the only one offended may be you. Strange coincidence, eh?

Not at all my friend. Takes a lot to offend me as I don't care for trivial things. Is just that question can be taken by some as sarcastic due to the timing of it along with all the bombing threads taking place right now, when it might be a very legit question.

In any case I have proposed a suggestion that could help differentiate the two types of bombing that seem to have taking place as of late. This will help fellow BOTL not get confused and pose the same question you posted in the future.

There should be more warning than simply the noise accompanying the smell. I believe that Mike could attest to the fact that certain people should be required to give warning so that evacuation can occur before the actual event takes place.

As an expert on the subject, I can tell you that evacuation is exactly what is taking place.

But on the other foot, giving a warning my take away from the desired effect. Mike can attest to this.



Frank as well



With forewarning neither one of these guys would have shown up.

The answer is, when people started announcing bombs.

I've been on the forums for about 8 years or so (predominately here, and before that, CS). I think some bombs have always been announced (since I've been active). Here, I can say that's definitely the case. Organize the Bombs Forum by date in descending order and you'll see "announced bombs" within the first week of CA's creation. I really don't want to go back to the other place to do further research.

Is the percentage of bombs that are announced higher than before? Probably. But to an extent, some bombs have always been announced, here at CA anyway.

I could say more, but I keep deleting what I type...that usually means I shouldn't post it. I urge others to do similarly.

You're right Tom. I'd rather visit a proctologist in dire need of a manicure.

Bombs, gifts, care packages, are all great. We all love them, and there's nothing better than to come home to a surprise box of two. Everyone will have their own 2 cents about this topic and there's nothing wrong with that. Personally, I don't care. I feel most of the time it's a "look at me, look at me" kind of thread, but than again, that's my opinion and why I don't bother with the bomb threads often.

I'm pretty sure that's saying something right there.
I'm over 40 and have had the checkup, that 'other place' must be horrible.

I've been here a little over 2 years now. I've seen all kinds of crazy bombs/bombings. I love them all.
Just like I love the diversity of people we have here. Some bomb, some don't, some are opinionated and voice it, some aren't. But regardless, they're all good people to me.

I think announcing the bombings became popular when certain members here started cowering in fear of a new skirt fitting.

There is some truth to this.

Default Re: When did bombing become an announced event?

I must echo Vin's words.

I often send care packages (I never bomb anybody) out to people for the purpose of reminding them that they are not alone, or to fill a need where I see it, or...

Also, I usually do not announce them beforehand, and often request that they only acknowledge to me privately that they received it, and not to go public with it - PLEASE!

Every once in a while though, I do get caught up in the passion of the moment and want to see/hear/read people squirm as they wait for carnage to descend upon them.

I think that bombing announcements are not so much about receiving accolades for good deeds as much as they are a moment to watch the madness that ensues when such announcements are made. It is fun to watch the speculation about where a package might land, and the fear that it instills in people.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Todd
