The ultimate test of a computerized language translator program is its
ability to reverse translate its own translation. The results are often
comical.
Years ago, some computer scientists gave their program the job to
translate: "The spirit is willing but the flesh is weak."
It translated it into Russian and back again:
"The wine is fine but the meat is spoiled."

WTF does that have to do with woodworking?
Lemme explain. I woke up this morning all full of **** and vinegar to
get cracking on this 3-level bathroom vanity top.
As I left the house, I noticed something of substance peeking out from
my mailbox. I remember thinking to myself: "don't do this, Rob... take a
look later..."
I did look.

It all comes down to weak flesh.

Well running Lee Valley through the computerized language translator
(into Swahili and back to English) gives "Need Money."

From Mandarin gives "Place still has non-China made products"

From French give "Suck Hole of Yankee Capitalist pigs' money"

Funny, I ran it through the "SWMBO translator" and it came back "You
send them one more nickle and I will beat you with a ball bat."

Hey, I'm between cherry bowls right now, finishing lunch, and my fresh copy
of FWW is sitting on the stack of mail within arm's reach. I'm only
trembling slightly.

Of course the new LV catalog isn't here yet....

I got my big shiny new LV catalog in the mail yesterday, and I've
managed to put it off this long... But I got my fix from their smaller
catalog of new woodworking stuff, which I enjoyed very much. Can't
wait to dive into the big one, though! I think I might "need" a
Mk.II... Maybe for Christmas...

Through a diabolical combination of the absolute necessity of saving for
upcoming property tax season, a kid still in college, and the exercise of
enormous will power, I have apparently been exorcised from "The List".

Should I go ahead and sue the appraisal district and Dept of Education now,

Yes you is, ya bastid. And now, with the Shrub's deflated ducats and
your annual price increases, we can't buy nearly as much "stuff" as

We're living in a car because the bank has just taken the house, my six
children only get potato and bread sandwiches for their school lunches and
my pregnant wife is holding down three jobs. And NOW, you're telling me that

tools for me.

Hell, Uncle Scrooge has nothing on you.
