MERCEDES: "We actually came here with the intention of unearthing what was Bubbles doing with her hair because it's so magnificent, but apparently that's also hidden behind encryption and smoke and mirrors"

Is it just me, or is this image failing to show up for anyone else?

CREEPYBOT: "That's quite a bump! Right on the 'firmness' mark too! This explains so much about her 'winning personality'!"

Now... Who will be the first to get the reference?

I can't see it either. The older caption threads don't work either! Firefox is complaining about some unsecure connection or unsafe material such as images. I tried tinkering with FF settings (32-bit version 51.0.1. here),
but that didn't help.

In fact the spiral indicating that FF is loading the page keeps on spinning.

Just in case it helps some knowledgable person figure out the problem: In addition to the images, the like -buttons are also gone.

I see all the images just fine, using the same version of Firefox that Skewbrow's using.

Grayface: There is irony here if you can appreciate it.  I am the construct of a vast but non-conscious intelligence, and Bubbles here is the construct of a vast number of conscious intelligences.  Also, paradoxically, at the moment I am conscious and Bubbles is not.

Skewbrow: I think I was using the same version of Firefox (on Windows). I'm currently on my phone, using Safari, where it does load. It's Emily holding the head thingy while CreepyBot talks to Bubbles.

Oddly enough, I can't see the picture now either, though it worked fine this morning when I posted it. It could be that Photobucket is having issues again. It's happened before. Let me see what I can do to fix this.

Okay, now I can't see the image either. Weird.


Edit: And now it's back. I tried a "forced reload", which (in Firefox) means holding down the Shift key while clicking the Reload button, and the image came back. Could be coincidence, of course.

And now back to captions:

Creepy:  ♪ Once there was a way to get back homeward
              Once there was a way to get back home
              Sleep pretty darling, do not cry
              And I will sing a lullaby ♪

Try quoting it, and before you preview, change http:// to https:// and see if that makes a difference.  Not very hopeful, but worth a try.

It reminds me of my problem with Tumblr and IPv6; however, it's not Tumblr, and I very, very much doubt you're using IPv6!

Forced reloading did help. At least temporarily.

It may be related to the URL of this thread being an https://... Is that the way it is supposed to be? If I type in http: instead, it gets immediately replaced by an https: version.

I don't get the reference. There have been many occasions in the history of pop culture where amateur phrenologists have similarly found "scientific evidence" confirming their preconceived ideas of a "patient's" psyche and/or mental capabilities. I'm afraid I can't point at one. The ones I recall having seen are probably "dated" :-)

Actually, you got the only reference that matters - Phrenology. I'm not a believer myself but it just seemed funny.

Gray-1: "We still need to check that no residual threats to her memories lie hidden somewhere. Ms. Azuma, I trust you are familiar with the game MindSweeper. It will be just like clearing a level. Only this time the playing field will be 16-dimensional. That shouldn't make you dizzy."
