Affirmative action and liberal requirements for foreign students in the Space Academy. Duh. Now that's rich!

How do you think they fight off the cougars? Isn't that what the bolt gun is for? , one for each answer

I thought it signified a "sprayshield" of some sort. "Mr. Sulu, raise the shields!" "Shields inoperative, Captain!" "Scotty, WTF's happening down there?!" "Ah dunno, Cap'n. The circuit's shot!" "Try Auxilliary Power!" "Aye!" Sidebar commentary: I've always wondered, how did this clown get to be Chief Engineer of what must be a multi-bazillion dollar machine if he couldn't take it upon his own initiative to try AP when the shit hits the fan?

I'll watch it only if there's nitroglycerin involved somehow.

you're not serious, right?

Don't know, but it sure is bringing out the heavy-hitterz! Nice joke.

Yeah, but erik's was funnier cuz you were doing laundry. Even if you're doing something else, ALWAYS say "you have to work" cuz nobody's really gonna diss you for keeping your livelihood intact.

My math sez that a settlement check of $2,700 less $500 in parts and home labor nets $2,200 profit, not $500...

EXCELLENT avatar pic, BB!

Way to go, Muffy! Welcome to the workin'stiffs of the world! For you...

I'll dance witcha, but I'd like to know the reason for which I dance... What's UP?

WTF happened? I've been off the boards for 2 days straight this week. I'm so busy. I'm so out of it. I'm so

Woah! They don't wear helmets!? Didn't realise that. I thought they'd do it at least for the aerodynamics. They don't for the road race portion. Too hot, probably. See the pic a few posts above. Not a helmet among the bunch of them. But they do for the time trials. Real pointy-back thingies. I think the next time trial is on Saturday.

are you referring to "jp", he whose parents own the winery? WERD PRETTY DECENT GUY AND A MACHINE AS A CLIMBER I would agree with you on both counts, after seeing some of his noteworthy routes in the Tieton. I met him only once, in the Paradise ranger station gearing up for a rescue about 3 years ago. Quiet, confident, and unassuming, in a powerful sort of way. I sincerely doubt he would remember me, tho. I'm just a punter...

DFA, Although I'm partial to the deeper reds, you should give the Bonair Chardonnay a try. Also the Barnard Griffith Chard. Both WA wines. Both good values. A wee bit above the quoted price range, but I think you might enjoy them, just the same. Cheers!

FYI: crabs, lobsters, shrimp and the like don't turn red until they get cooked. But the question is well taken. I've often wondered WTF was on some people's minds when they decided to eat something the very first time. "Liver and onions... mmmmmmm... let's cut out and eat the one organ that removes most of the toxins from the body and then concentrates them all in one place. It's gotta taste good, huh?"

One word to describe Lance... "machine" I heard he and his wife have sorta patched things up a bit and are back together. Good for them!

In Freudian thought, doesn't everything signify something sexual? ...and this is now I spend my 1,000th post...

yeah, but ALL CAPS make it look like you're raggin' on folks. But I'm ok, I'll get over it...

gee, erik, that's harsh! what's got your goat - err, I mean, sheep - today? I sense misdirected anger. I know I'm no match for you spraylords, I wuzzunt trying to start something. Just was getting bored, and the beer arrived. SO I'd thought I'd share teh news, just like dru did earlier. Am I so wrong in that?

let's just hope it's not George Tenet again...

welll... ummm... ok, whatever. It's just that we're a bunch of engineers, and so getting an hour's headstart on the Friday drinkfest is news to us. I'll stop sharing then. I just realized, 5 more posts and I'll break 1k. I've been spending way too much time on this board lately.

Two, yes count 'em, TWO cases of ice cold hoppy refreshment have just arrived at Ye Olde Grindstone to round out the Friday drudgery. It's going to be a long crawl home tonight...
