Damn straight, if there's one thing LV is good at it's pulling his own
wire.


Yours has obviously been pulled. Again.

Here's your sign.

Son, if there is one thing a guy who has himself photographed wearing a big,
floppy crocheted hat and pointing an unloaded handgun into the camera needs
it's an ability to laugh at himself. Loosen up boy, if there is one act you
can't carry off it's stern authority figure, you just don't have the chops
for it.

'Vagina' is a real word, 'alnico' isn't,

Vagina has a proper latin root meaning "sheath". Irrespective of what
Webster's says, alnico *is* an acronym, which makes it not a 'real' word in
the sense that I was intending, as I'm sure you really understood ... ;~)

However, that said, I do accept that a language is a living thing, and
that's how new words become part of it. Common usage by uneducated people
though, doesn't make them "right", and I wince every time that the Oxford
English ( IMO, the only proper dictionary of the English language ) publish
a list of half-arsed 'new' words, which are actually slang, that they are
going to include in their next edition.

Some years back, my kids were coming home from school telling me how
"face-ty" other kids had been that particular day. It took me ages to get to
the bottom of this. It turned out that what they were trying to say was the
word "feisty". Thickos ( not a real word either ! ) at the school had
actually 'invented' a new word, by mis-pronouncing an existing one. My kids
have now left school, and know what the word should be, but I'm willing to
bet that this 'new' word is still in use at the school, and will spread,
until in 30 years' time, the Oxford English are listing it in their latest
volume !

See, that's just the sort of thing I mean, son. All pinecone-up-the-ass and
whatnot, makes you come across as a big ol' blowhard who takes himself
waaaay too seriously. Those folks who haven't seen you down at the Karaoke
bar Friday nights dancing and signing Abba tunes to the wee hours don't
understand that the self-righteous pompous ass you play on Usenet isn't the
real you. You need to show your true nature more, probably sell a mess more
tubes if folks knew about your organic vegetarian diet and such like.

We used to use the dollar bills to clean the KG's in the field.

What I used to like about the matchbook cover is that it's absorbent
and will hold a fair amount of contact cleaner as you rub it between
the contacts.

And now you're stuck in a feedback loop too, not a good sign at all.

You wear it with pride.

It's a sad thing to see the once-mighty LV curl up like a burnt feather, I
never thought I'd see the day.
