I just came back from a buffet. I ate too much. And I'm tired from last night's corporation-induced spending of midnight oil. I need a nap.
abi @ 374... I didn't end up sparring with the non-smelly beginner
...which means you ended up sparring with the rank and flies beginner?
Fragano @ 375... Linkmeister @ 376... I haven't taken a bath in years. Showers are much more efficient. Besides, the bathtub is where I put the cat litter box, to keep the 'goodies' out of the reach of my weirdo dogs.
TexAnne @ 24... Right. They'd have had to make an even bigger cannon, to fit a turkey in.
A followup to my comment @ 19...
I also want to thanks storytellers for their tales. Speaking of those yarn spinners, one of them, MK Hobson, suggests here that the Granny featured in Norman Rockwell's famous Thanksgiving painting has to be an atomic mutant endowed with superstrength because how else can she be carrying that huge bird around with such ease?
Thanks, all of you.
abi @ 371...
The other rank beginner?
Don't people take showers anymore?
John Houghton @ 20... Apparently, the first diving suits didn't have that failsafe. Without it, the results are quite messy, as the MythBusters found out.
My many thanks to Teresa & Patrick, who created their version of Rick's Café Américain. If not for this place, Life would be very lonely, and poorer because some of my dearest friendships would never have happened. What we each do affects other people's lives, and the Law of Unintended Consquences sometimes throws the Ball in our Court.
Earl Cooley III @ 6... Heh. And here is the frozen turkey I am planning to watch tonight.
I looked for a YouTube clip showing the time the MythBusters built an air cannon to shoot frozen turkey at airplanes, but it's not there. So, no cannonfowl.
(By the way, their experiment last night showed what would happen to a deep-sea diver 300 feet under the surface, should his air supply be suddenly interrupted. 'Disgusting' is one way to describe it.)
Happy Thanksgivings, and, while MST3K's movie marathons are now a thing of the far Past, may your day be brightened by turkeys. For those who want to go on a brief ride down Memory Lane, click here.
I stay away from Foul-Wart, but are there reasons why I should do the same thing with Target?
Stefan Jones @ 85... Drat!
Stefan Jones @ 80... Would you by chance be planning to be there on December 19-20?
As far as I know, Jay Lake will be undergoing surgery to deal with his cancer within the hour. My best wishes to you.
Bill Higgins @ 341... Tevatron vs Hadron sounds like a Saturday-morning cartoon of the 1980s, or like one of Godzilla's wrestling matches.
Terry Karney @ 105... Leonard or Elmer?
Bruce Cohen @ 330... these collisions did not result in the Earth being eaten by a black hole
...in spite of its being a sucky movie.
David Harmon @ 325... Not Deanna Durbin, aka "Winnipeg's Sweetheart"?
janetl @ 14... You should have said that one of the devices was an interrocitor.
