I met, wooed, kissed, slept with, married, divorced, beheaded (killed), fileted, sauted, ate, threw up, cleaned up, and sprayed febreeze all over, a hobo.
Shawnee123 • Jan 12, 2010 3:48 pm
Oh, beheaded.

(Just read a book about the Boleyns, I'm bit obsessed right now.)

Again, both. Mad as a box of frogs (as Dana might say). But look at his work and weep for the beauty and the pain.

Who?
Shawnee123 • Jan 12, 2010 10:05 pm
You're totally missing the connection. Here, allow me:



From The History of Radar


One of the hundreds of concepts generated by Nikola Tesla (1856-1933) included principles regarding frequency and power levels for primitive radio-location units. In an interview published in The Electrical Experimenter, August 1917, Tesla gave the following:

For instance, by their [standing electromagnetic waves] use we may produce at will, from a sending station, an electrical effect in any particular region of the globe; [with which] we may determine the relative position or course of a moving object, such as a vessel at sea, the distance traversed by the same, or its speed.

Tesla also proposed the use of these standing electromagnetic waves along with pulsed reflected surface waves to determine the relative position, speed, and course of a moving object and other modern concepts of radar.

Tesla had first proposed that radio location techniques might help find submarines (for which it is not well-suited) with a fluorescent screen indicator.


So, Tesla...Radar.

It was an eloquent transition. Without radar, what would the submarines do?

They'd do Brianna?
Shawnee123 • Jan 12, 2010 10:21 pm
OH hell, the submarines don't even know who Brianna is! Stupid submarines. :headshake

I respect you for challenging me, and that's why I came on the show. --MM

Can't watch the vid at work, but I was referring to the entry above sky's (see same timing on posts)...I'm not sure what it says as it's on ignore, but it certainly is demented.

I'll watch MM later...thanks!

Actually I have heard him speak before and he didn't sound demented to me either but don't by me MM show tickets but I would go backstage. He would be someone I would meet absolutely.
glatt • Jan 14, 2010 2:25 pm
You're sounding a bit demented there yourself sky. What does that even mean?
skysidhe • Jan 14, 2010 2:37 pm

responding to the responses about M.M.


I've heard Marilyn Manson do an interview before.

He sounded ok.

I still wouldn't see one of his shows

but I think he would be an ok person to meet.

Thanks for nothing.

OH, forgot to tell Flint: I watched the video last night. Mr Manson was quite eloquent and intelligent. IMO he made O'Reilly look more assier than normal.

Somewhere there is a video of Zappa taking on 3 morality vigilantes. I think Spode might have posted it.
FOUND IT! It was Flint:

IT was Crossfire 1986 on Censorship

Thanks for linking to that video. Awesome.

Well, let's put it to a vote: Frank Zappa. Enlightenment or Dementia?

Yabbut, I kinda just coined "assier." I'm hoping it'll catch on.
Shawnee123 • Jan 15, 2010 7:01 pm
Zappa: Enlightened, of course.

I've often said that who said one series of letters means something "worse" than another series of letters. Who decides?
Shawnee123 • Jan 15, 2010 7:06 pm
Zappa: I love it when you froth like that.

He is so awesome.

ha!

Do you know I saw a part of a concert on a public broadcasting network! Yes and the guy was nakid and it was defo xx rated.

This what my face looked like standing in the middle of the room with the remote. :eek:

Call him demented or enlightened but what hits the eyes is still hard to process either way.

It felt something like brain freeze,hemorrhaging and shock.

Conjunctions are not a good substitute for punctuation, "by" means near, and I wonder if it is possible to meat someone partially?

Simple short sentences should start with a capital letter, shouldn't start with a conjunction and should end with a ".", "?", or "!". ;)

Tonight it doesn't appear to be a singular fail for monster so she had to have been joking.

Too bad meet was misspelled though. It would have been funnier.
