Sarge, the Sage.

Yes. With Thanksgiving coming up, that is always good advice.

I would be very careful either calling Sarge a turkey or telling him to get stuffed...

I keep wondering why people insist on advertising to all drivers that their children are mentally handicapped. They keep saying "SLOW CHILDREN AT PLAY".

Or what happens when they grow up - SLOW MEN WORKING.

Ooooh, yes. Especially when you're dealing with putting patches into code.

Try it with an octal front panel sometime...and yes, I used to do it on PDP-11s... and 8s. And a few Sperry-Univac behemoths...

My only question is - what was the original Lion Tamer Incident? Monica and Kevin's Halloween costume?

My personnal guess would be Neil vs. Phix...

Good one, Warrl. Good to see one of the smaller bits make it out - we crank out a lot of these but few of them make it here.

BRAVO!

I finished book one and realized I was relieved to finally be done with it.

30 pages in it hit the recycle bin...blargh. Thankfully it was given to me and not something I wasted money on or I'd have been quite annoyed.

I actually thought someone had put a shell on one of those Spyder trikes when I saw it, but this thing had four solid wheels. The story is intriguing behind it, but I wonder if the guy asked too much for it, and just decided to keep it? Strewth that is the ugliest thing I've seen with a license pla...

Man Plus ? I don't remember the title, but I do remember reading a book of that nature... They had to incorporate a computer into the guy's brain, to be able to process the input from the bug-like eyes they had designed for him (the previous guinea pig, err, guy, lacking the help of such a computer...

Enjoy your break and your family, Pablo.

Time for a good solid archive dive, then!

A Land Rover dodging wildlife on snow-covered trees? That seems as if it would be a job better suited to the Weasleys' flying Ford Anglia, with a good set of snow tires added.

Remember who you are speaking to here, my good man...

And by wheel-breakers, I mean “they’ll rip yer god damned wheel off if you hit them too fast.” Welcome to New England. When the plows do their thing every year we end up with potholes that will swallow a Volkswagen (and good riddance to them). There's a reason i drive a Land-Rover - the roads nearl...

What's the probability that her book caught at least one button?

That, or it's hiding the fact that she isn't wearing a bra.

Are you complaining? Please tell me you're not complaining.

Day-umm. That works.

Catawampus, mate - the best place to shop for a quality bottle jack for lifting cars is in the SUV section of your local scrapyard. Personally, I have screw jacks in my antiques (looks like a bottle jack but works off a bevel drive and a screw). SUVs have the most annoying lifting requirements, and ...
