The Anything Thread

[Swampfox]

Good night gentlemen...

I'm signing off for the night. If I'm asleep too long, don't hesitate to send me an email. I'd love to respond to them after I awake from my slumber.

By the way. P90X + 8 years of NO workouts + 4:30 am wake up call= suck + vomit in copious quantities

That is all. :closedeye

:blink:

[jpb286]

Come on now, that can't be the only reason! :001_tt2:

If you only knew...:out:

[jpb286]

I passed the EIT. I guess that's somewhat of an accomplishment.

I don't know of many PE's in my line of work. They mostly use it as a side business signing documents.

So, what flavor of engineering do/did you practice?

Finally! A Treet has been located!

Aww! :001_wub:

Yes, yes. Mr. Crafty and I are fond of each other.

G'night!


I'm leaving that one alone.



Now... Jamie is neither electrical nor an engineer. Discuss.

He is neither because he is Jamie.


True enough, I never did take the EIT or PE test...
Are you saying you are... inadequate?


*face palm*

But is it a Picard-Riker face palm? Those are the best kinds.

[jpb286]

Don't wake the boys.

:scared:

Nothing short of the apocalypse could wake them now, even then it would be iffy.

[a_bit_crafty]

Don't wake the boys.

:scared:

It's hopeless. We are laughing at opposite ends of the house.

[RichGem]

But is it a Picard-Riker face palm? Those are the best kinds.

I'm thinking more like the lion + paw facepalm.

Hmm... they might not want to miss that one.

Hey, James, that's not custom title I see, is it? I mean, not before me.

Yeah, the wiki needs to be updated by people in the know. It also appears that multiple titles are used for the same post range.

So are the boys gonna get woken up from all the extra noise, or will they sleep better from lack of sufficient breathable oxygen?

I'm a Mechanical Engineer, by training. You should ask me sometime about my Senior Design Projects.

[SRock]

Now, I've laid hand son people before but for different reasons. My mom got attacked as a teenager by a creeper. She got away but is a little paranoid for the rest of her life. My dad was a police officer. He is trained to be paranoid and always know what is going on around him. Thus, I was raised with an ingrained paranoia and learned how to react. So, you know how some people will think it is funny to sneak up on you from behind. Well, when they do it to me, bad things happen. I have reacted rather harshly before. I have thrown people over my shoulders. I have grabbed them and had them laying on the ground ready to strike before I realized who they were. My boss' son did that to me once in a dark corner of a parking lot and got quite the beat down. It is pure reflexes which were honed to a razor edge in high school where I was in fights all the time. The look of shock on someone's face looking up at you after the joke has going horribly awry is hilarious. :lol:

One thing I have learned is size is very deceiving. That patient that took me down the hardest was half my size.



:lol::lol::lol:

So what you're saying is had I walked up behind you and knocked off your fedora the first time we met it might have ended in a fight? :lol:


In a completely unrelated note, how many tabs of B&B are currently open on your screen. Me, 2. I halfway expect Blake to have 4 monitors with 10 each...

I usually start with around 40 or so (all of the threads I'm going to reply to for the day).


I only have four open right now. When I am working on a project, I have a lot more.

Not post doping, just missed it.

If I'm crafting or doing research for crafting, I could have 10 or 15 tabs open at a time. In general, it's 3-4. One for e-mail, and then the rest will be B&B or some blog I'm reading or some article.

Sorry, even Super Blake has to sleep once in a while and my proxy posters are down.

I got woke up early this afternoon. My Aunt was running about an hour late and her son was getting out of school in fifteen minutes. So, I ran and got him. I think I was the only motorcycle there.

Wow only a page and a half since my last visit. You guys really went easy on me this time.

(12:49:12 PM) Kristina: I think.

[DunEdinRanger]

My final project for my photography class what documenting Jamie's Seniour Design Project. I still have some of the photos. Good times. :001_smile


From the night before our presentation to the faculty and classmates, after turning in the written report, and having it reviewed by our Professor.

Professor: Well done boys. As we're about to leave, he has a Columbo moment and says, "Oh, wait, there was one thing I've been meaning to ask you. Your numbers worked out so well, how did you arrive at the height?"

Now picture four college seniors with an absolute look of shock. We are turning white and start stammering.

I can see the ole Prof turning beet red and yelling "NO!!! DON"T SAY IT! DON'T EVEN THINK IT!" and of course one of our group members does say it, does utter the magic word that sent chills down the spine of our faculty advisor - "We guessed."

That was the first, last, and only time I ever heard a string of profanities coming out of his mouth.

When he calmed down, he said, "You can not go in there tomorrow and tell the rest of the faculty you guessed. They will kill you. When you get asked how you arrived at that number, and you will be asked, you will say 'We adopted a heuristic approach to the solution of the problem.' and that is all you will say.


Sure enough we were asked. Sure enough I was the one nudged to give the answer. I recited precisely what I was told, and all the other professor said was "Excellent, thank you." :drool:

So I got my hands on the *modern*/current issue Wild Country (avon) trifecta today: edt, AS, & ASB.

The vintage stuff smells much nicer ... richer, smoother, more mellow. The modern stuff is nice, but definitely sharper (higher alcohol content?) and more powdery, a little less masculine somehow. At least that's my initial reaction.

[moonshine44]

And this from the guy who, when I first described Wild Country to him, decided without a sniff that he wouldn't like it because of the base notes listed in the description... :001_tt2::lol:

And in other news, I managed to finish 5th in my category out of 6 shooters, and 119 out of 148 overall at the Idaho State Cowboy Action Championships last weekend...

At least I wasn't last in either category...

Oh yeah, and I got a silver medal in the long range black powder buffalo rifle match...

Well, I already have (from a previous BST purchase) a full a 5oz bottle and another member has already offered to be my pusher, um, supplier, I mean, should I need more.

btw, the modern WC ASB smells like plastic and "artificial" with some WC scent thrown in. But, we'll see how it performs.

Alright here is an interesting story from work...

About 2 years ago my group moved to a newly renovated floor of a 60's era reinforced concrete building. Last week there appears small piece of sticky caution tape over the manual advance wheel for the paper towel dispenser.

http://www.stainlessrhino.com/images/thumb/2860lg.jpg

So we are thinking that they (who ever they are) are forcing us to pull one paper towel at a time instead of manually advancing however much paper towel that we need. Slightly irritating, but I can live with it; if I have to, I guess. The next day, the entire dispenser is wrapped in black and yellow sticky caution tape to make sure that you can't just pull off the little piece covering the manual advance wheel; now it is getting ridiculous.

Several days later there is a safety bulletin emailed out describing how an employee was injured on the sharp sheet metal around the manual advance. It further states not to remove the tape until the dispenser is repaired to prevent further employee injury.

I could understand if it were easy to cut yourself on this dangerous piece of bathroom equipment but you would have to be on ingenious, injury prone individual to even scratch yourself on dispenser.

Anyway, it's been two weeks and now they have stopped stocking the dispenser and now there are tri-fold paper towels available on the counter that are pre-moistened. I expect next they may take away our scissors and replace them with safety scissors...

Do you work with M? :001_smile

Let's say this by way of background, "M" is accident prone, and normally forgetful. I mean he forgets what day of the week it is, the date, his birthday, anniversaries. His famous one liners include "How much is that 45 cent cup of soup" and "This is the best Christmas we've had all year!"

So a few years ago, I'm in the main office and his mother-in-law, who worked for us, gets a call from her daughter. "M' has been in an accident. He slipped on silicon oil as he entered the machine room, she tells us. The adds, very worried, "Louie, they asked him the date, and he didn't know. They asked him what day of the week it was and he didn't know, and he didn't even know his birthday!"

I just breathed a huge sigh of relief and told her, "Oh thank God, he's back to normal!" :001_tt2:

And then there was my classmate who got run over by his own car, but that's a story for another time.

The next day, the entire dispenser is wrapped in black and yellow sticky caution tape to make sure that you can't just pull off the little piece covering the manual advance wheel; now it is getting ridiculous.

Several days later there is a safety bulletin emailed out describing how an employee was injured on the sharp sheet metal around the manual advance. It further states not to remove the tape until the dispenser is repaired to prevent further employee injury.

I could understand if it were easy to cut yourself on this dangerous piece of bathroom equipment but you would have to be on ingenious, injury prone individual to even scratch yourself on dispenser.

Anyway, it's been two weeks and now they have stopped stocking the dispenser and now there are tri-fold paper towels available on the counter that are pre-moistened. I expect next they may take away our scissors and replace them with safety scissors...

[a_bit_crafty]

Alright here is an interesting story from work...

About 2 years ago my group moved to a newly renovated floor of a 60's era reinforced concrete building. Last week there appears small piece of sticky caution tape over the manual advance wheel for the paper towel dispenser.

When you told me this story, you neglected to tell me that it was CAUTION tape. That makes it so, so much funnier.

Do you work with M? :001_smile

Let's say this by way of background, "M" is accident prone, and normally forgetful. I mean he forgets what day of the week it is, the date, his birthday, anniversaries. His famous one liners include "How much is that 45 cent cup of soup" and "This is the best Christmas we've had all year!"

So a few years ago, I'm in the main office and his mother-in-law, who worked for us, gets a call from her daughter. "M' has been in an accident. He slipped on silicon oil as he entered the machine room, she tells us. The adds, very worried, "Louie, they asked him the date, and he didn't know. They asked him what day of the week it was and he didn't know, and he didn't even know his birthday!"

I just breathed a huge sigh of relief and told her, "Oh thank God, he's back to normal!" :001_tt2:

And then there was my classmate who got run over by his own car, but that's a story for another time.

:lol::lol::lol::lol:

It's safety for show, mind you there has been an electrical outlet missing a face plate since we moved to the new area (it's been on a few of the safety audits).

[blackfoot]

From the night before our presentation to the faculty and classmates, after turning in the written report, and having it reviewed by our Professor.

Professor: Well done boys. As we're about to leave, he has a Columbo moment and says, "Oh, wait, there was one thing I've been meaning to ask you. Your numbers worked out so well, how did you arrive at the height?"

Now picture four college seniors with an absolute look of shock. We are turning white and start stammering.

I can see the ole Prof turning beet red and yelling "NO!!! DON"T SAY IT! DON'T EVEN THINK IT!" and of course one of our group members does say it, does utter the magic word that sent chills down the spine of our faculty advisor - "We guessed."

That was the first, last, and only time I ever heard a string of profanities coming out of his mouth.

When he calmed down, he said, "You can not go in there tomorrow and tell the rest of the faculty you guessed. They will kill you. When you get asked how you arrived at that number, and you will be asked, you will say 'We adopted a heuristic approach to the solution of the problem.' and that is all you will say.


Sure enough we were asked. Sure enough I was the one nudged to give the answer. I recited precisely what I was told, and all the other professor said was "Excellent, thank you." :drool:

:lol::lol::lol:


And this from the guy who, when I first described Wild Country to him, decided without a sniff that he wouldn't like it because of the base notes listed in the description... :001_tt2::lol:

And in other news, I managed to finish 5th in my category out of 6 shooters, and 119 out of 148 overall at the Idaho State Cowboy Action Championships last weekend...

At least I wasn't last in either category...

Oh yeah, and I got a silver medal in the long range black powder buffalo rifle match...

A toll is a toll, and a roll is a roll. And if we don't get no tolls, then we don't eat no rolls. I made that up.


So I got my hands on the *modern*/current issue Wild Country (avon) trifecta today: edt, AS, & ASB.

The vintage stuff smells much nicer ... richer, smoother, more mellow. The modern stuff is nice, but definitely sharper (higher alcohol content?) and more powdery, a little less masculine somehow. At least that's my initial reaction.

The vintage definitely has a powder element, but it is not overpowering. The new stuff is nice, but the old is far better.



And this from the guy who, when I first described Wild Country to him, decided without a sniff that he wouldn't like it because of the base notes listed in the description... :001_tt2::lol:

You and me both!


And in other news, I managed to finish 5th in my category out of 6 shooters, and 119 out of 148 overall at the Idaho State Cowboy Action Championships last weekend...

Congrats!


btw, the modern WC ASB smells like plastic and "artificial" with some WC scent thrown in. But, we'll see how it performs.

Of the new, I only have the ASB. Not bad, but I am not much of a balm guy, so I only use it for travel.

[RichGem]

Sigh. Yes, you were right too. :blush:
I totally don't notice the powder in the vintage. In fact, on my skin, it smells rather different from the modern. Almost like "the real thing" vs. "designer imposter." Anyhow... I'm sure I'll be looking for more at some point. Not quite time to start hording, but I can see the day coming. Just what I need; another AD.

However, my transponder failed at one of the tolls today and I was "that guy" holding up the "EZ Pass only" lane. Funny thing is there just happened to be two attendants standing there and one seemed to say to the other, "there it goes again." So because he was right there it didn't take as long.

It's funny that you mention EZPazz because it was a topic of discussion this morning in the office. It seems that rental companies are using the transponders in their cars and tacking on an extra fee. If we choose to use the built-in transponders, we are responsible to pay the extra fee. Needless to say, I just stop at the tollbooth and pay or avoid toll roads.

[DunEdinRanger]

On the outskirts of a small town, there was a big, old
pecan tree just inside the cemetery fence. One day,
two boys filled up a bucketful of nuts and sat down by
the tree, out of sight, and began dividing the nuts.
"One for you, one for me. One for you, one for me,"
said one boy. Several dropped and rolled down toward
the fence. Another boy came riding along the road on
his bicycle. As he passed, he thought he heard voices
from inside the cemetery. He slowed down to investigate.
Sure enough, he heard, "One for you, one for me. One for
you, one for me."

He just knew what it was. "Oh my", he shuddered, it's
Satan and the Lord dividing the souls at the cemetery.

He jumped back on his bike and rode off. Just around the
bend he met an old man with a cane, hobbling along. "Come
here quick," said the boy, "you won't believe what I
heard! Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery
dividing up the souls." The man said, "Beat it kid, can't
you see it's hard for me to walk."

When the boy insisted though, the man hobbled to the
cemetery. Standing by the fence they heard, "One for you,
one for me. One for you, one for me..." The old man
whispered, "Boy, you've been tellin' the truth. Let's
see if we can see the Lord himself." Shaking with fear,
they peered through the fence, yet were still unable to
see anything.

The old man and the boy gripped the wrought iron bars of
the fence tighter and tighter as they tried to get a
glimpse of the Lord. At last they heard, "One for you,
one for me." And one last "One for you, one for me.
That's all. Now let's go get those nuts by the fence,
and we'll be done."

... They say the old man made it back to town a full
5 minutes ahead of the boy on the bike.

Sure enough, he heard, "One for you, one for me. One for
you, one for me."
He just knew what it was. "Oh my", he shuddered, it's
Satan and the Lord dividing the souls at the cemetery.
He jumped back on his bike and rode off. Just around the
bend he met an old man with a cane, hobbling along. "Come
here quick," said the boy, "you won't believe what I
heard! Satan and the Lord are down at the cemetery
dividing up the souls." The man said, "Beat it kid, can't
you see it's hard for me to walk."
When the boy insisted though, the man hobbled to the
cemetery. Standing by the fence they heard, "One for you,
one for me. One for you, one for me..." The old man
whispered, "Boy, you've been tellin' the truth. Let's
see if we can see the Lord himself." Shaking with fear,
they peered through the fence, yet were still unable to
see anything.
The old man and the boy gripped the wrought iron bars of
the fence tighter and tighter as they tried to get a
glimpse of the Lord. At last they heard, "One for you,
one for me." And one last "One for you, one for me.
That's all. Now let's go get those nuts by the fence,
and we'll be done."
... They say the old man made it back to town a full
5 minutes ahead of the boy on the bike.

Hey. I got a cute skirt out of it. So shut your pie hole.

[a_bit_crafty]

Oh? This sounds like a good tale!:w00t:


Very quickly: Our high school had the tradition that the night of graduation they would take all the grads to an undisclosed location to have a night of fun. Everyone would stay all night. There would be games, swimming, shows, etc. Now, because it was an all-night deal, there was a room that had the lights off with a movie playing, in case anyone wanted to go in and relax or sleep.

Jamie, a mutual friend, and I were in there watching a movie when a very tired Jamie starts cracking up in his hilarious and unique (read LOUD) way. My friend turns to me, in the dark, and asks, completely serious, "Who is LAUGHING like that?"

[Swampfox]

Buttless chaps.

[a_bit_crafty]

OK, now that we've nearly worn out Ohm's law I think we should induct Henry and Farad into the flux, if you have the capacitance for such energizing topics. I think Rich said he was eating a pi filter earlier, so that might count.

This is as exciting as a phase locked loop, the oscillation is killing me. This could even increase the frequency of my posts and I'm certain Mr. Crafty won't lag.

I tried the Wild Country ASB this morning.... it's not bad. Still more powdery than I care for (but I can deal with it) and at least on my skin, I didn't notice the plastic notes I mentioned last night. It seems to soothe pretty well too. Too bad most of the ingredients list is unpronounceable without a chemistry degree (oh, wait, I have one of those).

[blackfoot]

You may write me down in history
With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise.

Does my sassiness upset you?
Why are you beset with gloom?
'Cause I walk like I've got oil wells
Pumping in my living room.

Just like moons and like suns,
With the certainty of tides,
Just like hopes springing high,
Still I'll rise.

Did you want to see me broken?
Bowed head and lowered eyes?
Shoulders falling down like teardrops.
Weakened by my soulful cries.

Does my haughtiness offend you?
Don't you take it awful hard
'Cause I laugh like I've got gold mines
Diggin' in my own back yard.

You may shoot me with your words,
You may cut me with your eyes,
You may kill me with your hatefulness,
But still, like air, I'll rise.

Does my sexiness upset you?
Does it come as a surprise
That I dance like I've got diamonds
At the meeting of my thighs?

Out of the huts of history's shame
I rise
Up from a past that's rooted in pain
I rise
I'm a black ocean, leaping and wide,
Welling and swelling I bear in the tide.
Leaving behind nights of terror and fear
I rise
Into a daybreak that's wondrously clear
I rise
Bringing the gifts that my ancestors gave,
I am the dream and the hope of the slave.
I rise
I rise
I rise.

And this concludes Blake's broadcast day, Good Night.

:thumbup:

For some reason, I have a recent interest in poetry. I have never had more than a cursory interest before. But, I really like some of the...I don't know..darker(?) poems. I have always loved this one:


No man is an island, entire of itself;
every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main.
If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less,
as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were:
any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind,
and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee.

Edgar Allen Poe had some good ones too. But I don't just like creepy dark ones. I had one that I quoted to someone the other day in a text. I had to look it up but can't find it now. I liked it too. I will have to ask her what it was because I have no idea now.


And that's how skklog got scope marks around his eye.

:lol::lol::lol:

Except Klog doesn't drink. :001_rolle

We would probably get in way too much trouble if he did.


I'm not sure if I should say this out loud, but I will anyway.

I wonder what the spread (statistics) of formal education the members of B&B have? It appears that most are fairly well educated and I believe that I've seen a few "advanced" degrees.

Funny story:

Once, on a long ago thread here, we were posting pictures. It may have been the Picture Tag thread, I don't remember. Someone posted a picture of a shark. So, I wanted to respond with a picture of a lawyer. How do you demonstrate a man in a suit is a lawyer. Well, I found an article about the top five lawyers in Boston. When I posted it, one of the gentlemen participating says, "Hey, watch it! I am number so&so on there."

I was horrified. I mean, I was talking to a lawyer. I felt so dirty! :huh: No, seriously, I was horrified but he found it very amusing and was very good natured about it. I don't even remember who it was but I remember what he looks like. :lol:

That was when I realized I seemed to be way out classed around here. :blush:

Wise man. I read about it in the Steward's Forum but chose not to check it out. Enforcement is not my job and there are plenty of Stewards and Mods already watching. I can get myself in plenty of trouble on my own, thank you very much. :001_cool:

[Intrigued]

I could shine my pennies or clean my lava lamp. I could spend all day in my underwear watching "Ernest Goes to Camp".

Some interesting threads going on elsewhere. Have you seen this one about the new US made DE razor (http://badgerandblade.com/vb/showthread.php?t=162826)?



Yes, I've been following that thread pretty closely. I wish people would back off a little and wait for some of the reviews to start posting. If and I mean if this razor is exactly what the guy supplying it claims* then I don't think that thread is exactly a shining example of the B&B welcome he should be getting.

I'm kind of glad you brought it up here. It gives me a chance to get that off my chest without adding to the fray of that other thread. So thanks I feel soooooooo much better. :001_smile




* What must he be think of us if sees that thread?

PS This is in no way directed at you. I'm just talking about the thread as a whole.

I know exactly how you feel. I have been in that situation more than once, myself. Thank goodness for TAT!
