NAPKIN? You said that you designed it on a cocktail WAITRESS!!!

"Michael A. Terrell" fired this volley in
:

I live in Florida. We use solar heating, year round.

Yeah... yesterday was especially 'efficient' in that respect.

For probably only the third time I can remember in 14 years, we had no
breeze until about 3pm. It was hot!

For those who think Florida heat is bad, remember that we're almost
totally surrounded by water, so we almost always have a good breeze
blowing.

I've lived and worked in SC, NC, TN, GA, and VA, and they're all further
north than Florida, and all hotter by a LONG shot in the Summer.

My first year on the Y2K project in Columbia, SC, it hit over 102F four
or five times during the summer. I cannot remember the last 100-degree
day here. Heck, it was hotter in Anchorage, AK yesterday than in most of
the Southeast.

Where are you going to find a small enough hammer? ;-)

Have neither of you heard of Scary Sharpening(tm)? Once you get a
blade that sharp, it has to be moved slowly or it will immediately
begin splitting atoms. Pete, figure it out, with or without a
cocktail waitress or napkin. And, as Keanu did, send it to all the
physics guys around the world for the public good when you're done.

The Selectric was easier to convert, with just seven solenoids.


I installed one of the conversion kits into a brand new Selectric.
Pretty fussy to keep working and very slow. Don't remember the
company- but the controller came in a blue-painted steel box about the
size of a shoebox.

Just like a daisy wheel printer. Decent quality, but very slow.
There were some surplus Burroughs converted Selectrics available
surplus, and I heard they were just as troublesome.

And that...is absolutely correct.

When I was younger and traveling around the planet...I never hit the
Georgious ones. But the sexy (to my standards) earthy ones...or the
intelligent plain ones. And for several reasons...only one being
really self serving

1. Generally smarter and more fun to talk to
2. Less competition from the other guys
3. As good or in most cases...FAR better in bed then the "foxes"
4. More likely to be an equal partner..not a money sink

5. And the self serving one....far more likely to be wonderfuly ready
to play in bed due to apparently less interest from the other guys.
Most of them I found to be absolute sex machines simply because they
were getting far far less interest than the foxy ones...had more to
prove to themselves and to their lady friends...that they were hot!
Wanted sex more because it was less likely for them to get it.
And with them being smart..one could talk to them about this and they
would understand and agree

The only negative...was countering their tendency to fall in love with
the guy who treated them nicely, turned their eyeballs into the back
of their skull during sex and was a nice guy. Which could be worked
around if you were smart and honest.

I had some wonderful nights, mornings, afternoons and
nooners...Sigh...to be young and handsome again.....whimper....

So?

But that is what she said when she showed up at my door. Who am I
to argue when she next says "It's hot, I'm hot, Let me in, I want to

Use waldos to make smaller machines, to make the parts to make the

Unless something goes wrong, and you end up with ninny-tech. ;-)

I've done it in CAD, where adjusting the one end of a object
causes the sides to cross. Maybe if I could do that in Real Life - I
could start making Klein bottles.

A few women, and even fewer castles are worth doing battle over.

Who has the song "I want a woman just as tacky as me"?
Brings his date for the prom home and his folks observe/object
"Son, she's a cocktail waitress
in a Dolly Parton Wig.
I know - ain't she cool?"


Lyrics to Trashy Women
by Jerry Jeff Walker ../


Well I was raised in a sophisticated kind of style
But my taste in music and women drove my folks half wild
Mom and Dad had a plan for me, it was debutantes and symphonies
But I like my music hot and my women wild
You see I like my women just a tad on the trashy side

When they wear their clothes too tight and their hair is dyed
Too much lipstick and too much rouge
Gets me excited, leaves me feeling confused
I like my women just a tad on the trashy side

Well you should have seen the look on the face of my Dad and Mom
When I showed up at the door with my date for the senior prom
They said, "Pardon us son, she ain't no kid,
That's a cocktail waitress in a Dolly Parton wig"
I said, "I know, ain't she great, Dad?
That's the kind I dig."
See I like my women just a tad on the trashy side
Find more similar lyrics on http://mp3lyrics.com/8CQ
When they wear their clothes too tight and their hair is dyed
Too much lipstick and too much rouge
Gets me excited, leaves me feeling confused
I like my women just a tad on the trashy side.

Yea, I like 'em sweet.
I like 'em with a heart of gold
But I like 'em brassy.
I like 'em brazen and bold.
They say opposites attract, well I don't agree
I need a woman that's as tacky as me
I like my women just a tad on the trashy side

When they wear their clothes too tight and their hair is dyed
Too much lipstick and too much rouge
Gets me excited, leaves me feeling confused
I like my women just a tad on the trashy side

Yeah, I like my women just a tad on the trashy side.

Hmm, there's an interesting if geeky pickup line "Would you be
willing to come to my place for a quick sensor scan?"

A 'nerd' would have a portable scanner and not have to waste time

Nearly all of us have a tactile sensor or two....

That's precisely why I want the tesseract. It does away with size and
weight constraints altogether. The briefcase is the only weight you
feel. Why do you think I _want_ one, eh?

It'll need more than cheap plastic in its construction.
