  1. South Padre at Thanksgiving. Not a soul on the island. Except us. This summer a safari to FLA and every DZ on the way.
  2. I was a Marxist for 2 weeks in college, but my parents threatened to cut me off. So now I'm just a Blue Dog Democrat. You might mean Yellow Dog Democrat unless you are conservative. Nope, Blue Dog moderate. http://www.house.gov/cardoza/BlueDogs/bluedogs.shtml - Didn't realize you had swung that far to the right since your marxist Days. - Well to be perfectly honest,...there just isn't any money in socialism these days.

  4. OK...... would everyone please excuse Michael for the next 48-72 hours. He is rather febrile and may be suffering from a respitory infection compounded by a severe case of the heebie jeebies. Have the prescription doubled Mikey. L.A.S.T. #24 Co-Founder Biscuit Brothers Freefly Team Electric Toaster #3 Co-Founder Team Non Sequitor Co-Founder Team Happy Sock

  8. After a brief look at their website I'm conviced this man is a psychotic anti- christ. He is the definition of false prophet.

  9. Strange,.. we were talking just today, about all the different kinds of critters we had tried. We found your selection to be overall not bad. However we had to draw the line at possum and raccoons. Pretty nasty stuff that.

    Hmmm...I have pretty much everything I need and most of what I want, great wife, good kids(mostly), lots of friends. Mostly I would like to learn to fly head down this summer or today. Whichever. Learning is half the trip anyway. L.A.S.T. #24 Co-Founder Biscuit Brothers Freefly Team Electric Toaster #3 Co-Founder Team Non Sequitor Co-Founder Team Happy Sock

  23. Oh... this I can do. As you can see the item in question (a Farberware Ice Cream Scoop {ScoopOverview.jpg}) was approximately 8.5" long initially and fractured at the location where the metal portion of the scoop entered into the plastice handle. The item failed catastrophically while in the process of serving myself a bowl of Ice Cream (a previously mentioned Turtle Treasures Flavor see attached photo...) Prior to serving the ice cream the offending item had been removed from the dishwasher (its possible that this contributed to item failure) As you can see the fracture surface (ScoopFracture.jpg) has indications of multimode failure (indicated by the two tone nature of the fracture surface. My suggestion would be to section the part as indicated in Figure3.jpg and then loaded into a SEM (after examination of the surface using a stereomicroscope) to determine the probable mode of failure... Let me know if I should send it down... (oh... in case you don't know... don't try to hold the pieces together... its can and probably will destroy the fracture surface ) Further evidence of my dorkiness... btw: I did this for a living for about 2 years... so I do know what I'm doing... Right. This will be very helpful...very helpful indeed. Was anyone hurt, seriously injured? I hope you notified the authorities. Anyway. I'll check into this first thing tommorrow. I think the photos will be very convincing. L.A.S.T. #24 Co-Founder Biscuit Brothers Freefly Team Electric Toaster #3 Co-Founder Team Non Sequitor Co-Founder Team Happy Sock
  24. I work at a pretty well endowed University. If ya know what I mean, and I think ya do. If you could devise a more technically complex description of your scoop, exactly what it's function is, and how it will change the course of human history if we scan it. I'm sure I can get permission for a brief look under one of our many obscenely expensive imaging devices.

  25. I recommend Shelby Foote's 3 part narrative on the war. It is a definitive history of the period and a great read. L.A.S.T. #24 Co-Founder Biscuit Brothers Freefly Team Electric Toaster #3 Co-Founder Team Non Sequitor Co-Founder Team Happy Sock
