there are 5 posts b4 yours, you posted 28 minuets after the first post, out of the 5 of them, 3 whine about the title being misspelled, another 1 makes a crude 1 sentence joke about splinters in the butt.

Agreed, Liz. I grew up on a farm, and we played on a wooden slide too. If the wood is smooth enough, you’re no more likely to get slivers than if you slid across your dining room table.
Neil :
Also, the title should use ‘than’ rather ‘then’.
“then” is right. What’s missing is the punctuation. “No worse? Then hot metal!”, which what they tell the kid after he slides down Splinter Lane and hasn’t yet noticed he has to climb the ladder of untefloned death again.
nope, not barefoot. Look closer. Those are known as “japanka”s here in (my part of) the third world. They are almost able to stop а tack from penetrating your foot…
English fail on my part guys, sorry. I’d change it but it would make you all look nuts in the comments, so I’m leaving it up in the spirit of “Fixer-ness”.

I thought you were going to suggest that there was a cauldron of hot, molten metal at the bottom of the wooden slide the kids would land in.

(Unless, of course, you have wooden plates and bamboo flatware)
The ‘saftey’ rails on each side of the slide appear to be a infinate source of slivers however. Don’t think I’d drag my hands on those on the way down!
Look at the entire slide structure. There is clearly already a chain ladder in the back, so the metal ladder next to the wooden slide looks like it was put in to replace another wooden slide. That’s the real fixedit element.
You know how there are always those people who look like idiots for not reading the entire thread? Congratulations. You are officially an idiot, despite your name.
NO. Change the title to have proper grammar in it. Geez you people. It’s THAN not “then”.
I see this mistake more and more. Must the a new generation taking….not many brain cells.
Rob :NO. Change the title to have proper grammar in it. Geez you people. It’s THAN not “then”.I see this mistake more and more. Must the a new generation taking….not many brain cells.
Er, Rob? Look down and you’ll see that you’re on page two of these comment pages. Rev up those old brain cells and take a look at page one. Oh, and we accept your apology.
@Rob
Ok I can see that you must have been typing fast by the fact that you weren’t concerned with things like spaces between periods and the next word and whatnot, but I’ll need you to explain the last sentence, is it something the new generation is TAKING? or is it the new generation TALKING? and I’m going to infer that you mean must BE the new generation… but what do I know I’m only 21 and my lonely brain cell is off looking for another to play hopscotch with…
@scott
Yeah, your all idiots, we cant spel anymore. Why bother with grammer? If you can read it, why bother to right it proper? What’s a mistaek or to? Your all idiots, is all I can say. Agen.
C’mon kid. It builds character (and immunity). What’ll be your fancy today? Bruises or splinter? (If you haven’t had your tetanus shot lately, I’d suggest the bruises… take the ‘slide’ on the right.
Yes, the title should be “No worse than hot metal”. Please fix it to have proper grammar.
Than: 1. Used after a comparative adjective or adverb to introduce the second element or clause of an unequal comparison: She is a better athlete than I am.
2. Used to introduce the second element after certain words indicating difference: He draws quite differently than she does.
3. When. Used especially after hardly and scarcely: I had scarcely walked in the door than the commotion started.
Then: 1. At that time: I was still in school then. Come at noon; I’ll be ready then.
2. Next in time, space, or order; immediately afterward: I watched the late movie and then went to bed.
3. In addition; moreover; besides: It costs $20, and then there’s the sales tax to pay.
4. Used after but to qualify or balance a preceding statement: The star was nervous, but then who isn’t on the first night of a new play.
5. In that case; accordingly: If traffic is heavy, then allow extra time.
6. As a consequence; therefore: The case, then, is closed.
No worse THAN hot metal. There. I fixed it.
wonder what is hotter the sand or the ladder
Splinters in the butt just makes kids tougher.
No Worse *Than* Hot Metal
There, I fixed it.
There; I fixed the title:
█
No Worse Than Hot Metal
█
Except, perhaps, for the splinters in the butt.
Also, the title should use ‘than’ rather ‘then’.

there’s nothing wrong with this. we used to have a wooden slide at home.
Agreed, Liz. I grew up on a farm, and we played on a wooden slide too. If the wood is smooth enough, you’re no more likely to get slivers than if you slid across your dining room table.
@Liz
A wooden slide is supposed to be varnished. This looks to have lost it’s varnish a long time ago, if it ever had any.
I thought the “fixed” part was the ladder at an angle until I read the comments.
if you hit your brother again, you will have to go down the splinter slide!
Wish there was a link here to post over to ‘blogger’. I’ve laughed my way through much of your site….=)
“dear god, what’s wrong with your ass?”
“well, y’see when I was a kid…”
“then” is right. What’s missing is the punctuation. “No worse? Then hot metal!”, which what they tell the kid after he slides down Splinter Lane and hasn’t yet noticed he has to climb the ladder of untefloned death again.
I notice that the kid is barefoot, which makes me think that this cannot be as hot as we are all imagining, btw.
I don’t see anything wrong with that — it’s kind of cool.
nope, not barefoot. Look closer. Those are known as “japanka”s here in (my part of) the third world. They are almost able to stop а tack from penetrating your foot…
And indeed, it should be “than”.
>.<

This is a really cool looking slide. The corners are rounded off and the wood looks really smooth….next!
This proves it: Legoland is a much better theme park than Chutes And Ladders Land.
He is not barefoot he has flipflops on!
(Unless, of course, you have wooden plates and bamboo flatware)
One always assumes they’re sliding down the wood and not the ladder…
The ‘saftey’ rails on each side of the slide appear to be a infinate source of slivers however. Don’t think I’d drag my hands on those on the way down!
And… notice the kid’s shorts are made of emery cloth. So, the slide gets a good sanding every time it is used.
THAN. Better THAN.
@Demetrius
Emery cloth shorts… clever and hilarious!
Fine, until the wood wears down to the bolt-heads. Then someone is in for a coccyx injury.
@Brett FTW!
@felix
It looks like a perfectly good slide to me too. I guess most of these kids grew up in that bubble-wrapped world…
Look at the entire slide structure. There is clearly already a chain ladder in the back, so the metal ladder next to the wooden slide looks like it was put in to replace another wooden slide. That’s the real fixedit element.
Bruce is correct. And here in the playground equipment world, we call that a “Sladder”.
A rear full of splinters and tetanus shots. Sounds like a date.
it looks perfect
That was actually one piece of wood before the kid slid down it with the Stanley knife in his back pocket…
Than… THAN!!
“As you slide down the banister of life, may the splinters always face in the right direction!”
That sounds like a wager to me!
before the iron age there was the stone age, before that…
why is the ladder even there? it is at such an angle that you could just run up the slide without too much effort.
Mmmm…butt splinters.
Hey! I used to play drums for the Butt Splinters!
Maybe a coat of high gloss or polyurethane might ease the ride down. Either way this creation is priceless!
It’s “THAN”. Learn proper grammar if you’re going to run a website making fun of others, idiot.
No, it’s OK…the gap between the planks is a coccyx groove!
@Kensey
wow me too…lol
Hey! I used to play bass for Coccyx Groove!
@Notan Idiot
You know how there are always those people who look like idiots for not reading the entire thread? Congratulations. You are officially an idiot, despite your name.
Don’t see anything wrong with this.. I had played on such slides when I was a school kid.. and nothing wrong with my butt so far..
Now that’s what playground equipment is supposed to be like!
I can change the title too:
Before: “No Worse Then Hot Metal”
After: “Picture title designed to see how many idiots will say ‘It’s than not then!!1!’”
NO. Change the title to have proper grammar in it. Geez you people. It’s THAN not “then”.
I see this mistake more and more. Must the a new generation taking….not many brain cells.
I don’ think this was broken to start with. It’s made from scratch apart from the ladder?
Er, Rob? Look down and you’ll see that you’re on page two of these comment pages. Rev up those old brain cells and take a look at page one. Oh, and we accept your apology.
@Rob
(BTW- What does “Must the a new generation taking…” mean?)
Its soooo sad!!!
@Daniel
Look again. He’s wearing flip flops. They’re orange.
at lest that kids have a playground where have fun. How many kids in the world would like to have something like that or dont know the funny things.
then …..than what’s the difference? your all idiots
Ohhhh.. so THATS what splinter A$$ feels like..
@Rob
