In the long and storied history of the F.A.N. forum there have been threads that have taken a life of their own just because of how strange, outlandish and hilarious they are. Among them are The Technical Difficulties screen thread started by Lenny: Smooth like Keith Stone on November 29, 2005.
It all began during an episode of Monday Night Raw on that date so many years ago when a technical difficulties screen came up. Lenny asked if anyone was able to get a screen grab of it so members of the forum could photoshop it. Luckily someone was able to leading resulting in much laughter.
The pictures below are some of my favorites from the thread.
This one features Carlito not being thrilled about technical difficulties.
This one features Dennis Stamp, best known for his appearance in Beyond the Mat.
This next one has Mr. Anderson, known as Mr. Kennedy during his WWE stint announcing the technical difficulties.
Last, but not least, this picture suggests the lack of cowbell is the cause of technical difficulties.
The Technical Difficulties screen thread is archived at the F.A.N. forum and can be read here.
