It's a gift, and a curse!
I looked back at some of the old covers and 6th grade came roaring back to me. Good stuff.

Held hostage by a pig?
Sorry, I meant to say does your machine download updates automagically from Microsoft on Patch Tuesday? Does your machine's native search function now invoke Windows Search instead of the old search my computer? Want the old one back? Here you go. Too lazy to click? Here you go: Quote:

The only thing that would make that funnier would be if there was 2 of them.

That was awesome. It made me happy. Very simple, but totally cool idea.

There's a group that do a whole show with those things. They were appearing at one of the Atlantic City Casinos this summer.

This is a link to a thread in another forum. It's a building forum, and one of the guys there is a farmer who makes ends meet by designing trusses at a day job. The rest of the time he farms with his extended family.
He started a thread two years ago to describe life on the farm (with lots of pictures included.) I've been following that thread for a long time, and am always pleased when there is a new entry. It's got a couple thousand posts in it right now, but if you just skim through reading his (BossHog's) posts you get to see what it's like working the land, repairing equipment, dealing with mother nature, etc. etc. all from a simple point of view. He's not a smooth, eloquent writer, just matter-of-fact. It's a perfect example of what make the internet beautiful. You read about his experiences and you come away thinking that you "get it." You know what it's like to be a farmer. Or at least hanging around with one. I'm pretty sure you need to register to read the thread, but I think it's worth it. |

Why would I want a job with a machine gun?

It's fun to go out with them after work and do shots? They're a barrel of fun? Working with them triggers your inner talents? They get fired a lot but then they just get loaded? They have good stock tips?
Why wouldn't you?

Shoot, I'm not just afraid of getting fired, it would kill me. I can just imagine it: round and round we'd go, blazing away at one another, until some little misfire jams everything. NOW I'd have a potentially explosive problem on my hands.

OK, OK, y'all just take a break now. Relax. I know better, really! I think the error was 'triggered' by the physical appearance of the letters and number, and I guess my fingers just tapped away all by themselves. They have no brains.
As neither do I. Or something!
