To be totally honest, there was another party in the room (female). She actually poked at the new boobs, and said "don't they look great?!?! Do you want to touch them?"

(For the record, I didn't touch OR WANT TO TOUCH. . .)

I'm pretty sure the only connection between "Please Touch' and fi.edu is that Please Touch is across the street. At least that used to be the case.

The Franklin Institute was a fixture of my youth and a profound influence on me; I was a student member for ages. It's been excruciating to watch the Professional Museum Fundraisers^h^h^h^h^h^h People turn the place into a goddamned theme park over the years.

The last straw for me was when they tossed W3AA out. I'll never go there again.

I miss the airplane. That was my definition of coolness. Not quite up there with the Nazi sub of my favorite childhood museum, but good.

I assume you mean the 707? There was also the T-33 inside (still there last I knew). Before the T-33 there was a P-47 Thunderbolt in the same space. Amelia Earhadt's Lockheed Vega was there too, as was a (flyable) Wright Flier Model B; both have since gone to NASM.

I had a young lady (HA!) get on my bus Friday evening, wearing a skirt, high heels, clearly going downtown to party. Sat right at teh bak of the bus and spent the whole trip with her legs spread - no panties. Sometimes I wish the rear view mirrow wasn't so damn big

W3AA (oringinally licenced in 1952 as W3TKQ) was a public demonstration amateur radio station.

In the 1960's:

Yeah, in his face.

Yes, the 707 that was parked outside. One of my friends had a row of seats from that plane installed as the back seat of his car.

I've watched a sergeant shoot himself in the foot while showing a group of privates how to clear a weapon (i.e., how to make sure there's no rounds left inside)...
I've seen an IED go off dead center on a Humvee- the glorious thing being that the moron who set it used an illumination artillery round instead of a high-explosive one, thus treating us all to a harmless, but pretty, fireworks show.
The best one, though, has to be the marine who accidentally discharged an anti-tank missile over/across an air field while giving a class on how to use it. (The thing has something like 6 safeties on it).

(By the way, the soldier/marine above are two of the very few exceptions, not the rule. Or we'd all be dead, of course.)

Has anyone ever seen the clip of a couple police officers who had apparently just arrested someone and brought him into the station, only to find that they didn't pat him down, the officer leaves the room and the man blows his head off?

xoxoxoBruce · 06-22-2006, 05:41 PM

That was posted in the video thread....or the links thread, but I think the former.

We love that one at work. Very good lesson on making sure you search someone before you bring them in.
