Thunderbird vs. Adramelech
 
Thunderbird:



Quote:

It is especially important, and richly depicted, in the art, songs and oral histories of many Pacific Northwest Coast cultures

The plural thunderbirds (as the Kwakwaka'wakw and Cowichan tribes believed) could shapeshift into human form by tilting back their beaks like a mask, and by removing their feathers as if it were a feather-covered blanket. There are stories of thunderbirds in human form marrying into human families; some families may trace their lineage to such an event. Families of thunderbirds who kept to themselves but wore human form were said to have lived along the northern tip of Vancouver Island. The story goes that other tribes soon forgot the nature of one of these thunderbird families, and when one tribe tried to take them as slaves the thunderbirds put on their feather blankets and transformed to take vengeance upon their foolish captors.

Adramelech:



Quote:

Like many pagan gods, Adramelech is considered a demon in some Judeo-Christian tradition. According to Collin de Plancy's book on demonology, Adramelech became the President of the Senate of the demons. He is also the Chancellor of Hell and supervisor of Satan's wardrobe.

I think this would've been much better if the question was Thunderbird or Firefox.

The fun thing, of course, would be there being a real animal called a firefox :p

Thunderbird vs Adramelech
 
Yesterday I asked about Thunderbird randomly refusing to send or save. I was told to go to default profile and delete default profile with msf as part of file name. I dont have a default msf file. Both files have mnq as part of file name. So, what now?

Thunderbird as in Firefox's calendar software?

Is that some weird kind of bot that doesn't advertise anything?

Re: Thunderbird vs. Adramelech
 
My question exactly! I can't figure out if it's a bot with no profit motive, or if it's an actual person with English as his or her second language. Both seem implausible.

Could be like the previous spammer duo...or one guy posing as two.

Just have to wait for the partner to come by and link to a program as a solution to their problem.

But what's the point of spamming free software that has been around for a while?


Maybe someone just created a sentient fufubot, ever roaming the internet.

Thunderbird
17.5% alc. by vol.

As pictured to the left, look for the pigeon feces and you'll find this old bird. As soon as you taste this swill, it will be obvious that its makers cut every corner possible in its production to make it cheap. Self-proclaimed as "The American Classic," Thuderbird is Vinted and bottled by E&J Gallo Winery, in in Modesto, CA. Disguised like Night Train, the label says that it is made by "Thunderbird, Ltd." If your taste buds are shot, and you need to get trashed with a quickness, then "T-bird" is the drink for you. Or, if you like to smell your hand after pumping gas, look no further than Thunderbird. As you drink on, the bird soars higher while you sink lower. The undisputed leader of the five in foulness of flavor, we highly discourage driking this ghastly mixture of unknown chemicals unless you really are a bum. A convenience store clerk in Show Low, AZ once told me that only the oldest of stumbling indian drunks from the reservation buy Thunderbird. Avaliable in 750 mL and a devastating 50 oz jug.

The history of Thunderbird is as interesting as the drunken effects the one experiences from the wine. When Prohibition ended, Ernest Gallo and his brothers Julio and Joe wanted to corner the young wine market. Earnest wanted the company to become "the Campbell Soup company of the wine industry" so he started selling Thunderbird in the ghettos around the country. Their radio adds featured a song that sang, "What's the word? / Thunderbird / How's it sold? / Good and cold / What's the jive? / Bird's alive / What's the price? / Thirty twice." It is said that Ernest once drove through a tough, inner city neighborhood and pulled over when he saw a bum. When Gallo rolled down his window and called out, "What's the word?" the immediate answer from the bum was, "Thunderbird."

WARNING: This light yellow liquid turns your lips and mouth black! A mysterious chemical reaction similar to disappearing-reappearing ink makes you look like you've been chewing on hearty clumps of charcoal.

This is what I thought. We've seen it several times now.
