Fantastic word game

Bubblicious bubble gum, no matter how hard it's chewed, still does not remove the aftertaste of Illusions, Mexican Coca-Cola, or many of the other disreputable activities in which Valley Girls, hippopotamus women, part-time club dj's and people who do not like Bananarama engage.
 
Selective Service registration upon the 18th birthday of young men is not mandatory unless, according to the commercial you want to freeload off the government.
 
To freeload off the government of PowerWorld, you need to be pretty sneaky because they've seen every trick in the book.


Marc, thanks for dropping in. Page 2000 will occur before the end of the summer or even sooner...depends on how much of your life we add into our contributions.
;)

quad, I like Mexican Coke!

Silkie, I was required to register with Selective Service when I turned 18 (Oh so long ago). Thank God I was never drafted or anything.
 
They've seen every trick in the book thanks to the vast library archives, which probably have the Library of Congress beat for historical data.

WMC, like I said, it's all accordin' to the commercials. I recognize it is required of young men to register.
 
For historic data, one needn't look any farther than my personal collection of high-school and college textbooks.

[size=8pt]@WMC2006--

Let me clear the Pendleton situation up before someone gets suspended:
Band Camp's Pacific Northwest division/ward (whichever) is holding its 4th of July festivities in Pendleton this year and I was asked to run it. (That it's happening during the same period that I'll be there for vacation, and thus already conveniently in town, is entirely coincidental.) Bongwater could attest to it, as he has volunteered to come down there and assist. I'll be running the motocross tournament on the 3rd. Afterward the Show of Powers Most Explosive will be provied, again through volunteerism, by mi amigo on the Reservation.

That's why the TV remote/relay is also necessary, and why we'll be simulcasting it on Channel 37 as well as our microwave feed on ITFS channel D4. I sent you a memo on it via UUCP; I also left a paper copy on your desk when I was in your office at the University on Thursday night, replacing the RS232 cable connecting your terminal to the network after it had been "moused" (see next paragraph.) I assume you didn't get the memo? Robin can provide you with more of the details, but that's basically it in a nut's shell.

The damned Biology Lab freshmen managed to let one of their test rats loose in the building earlier this week and it chewed right through your cable to its bare conductors. I also had to replace two CAT-5 ethernet cables just yesterday in the DXer's Club room, them having undergone the same fate. The University Pest Control students, incidentally, deserve special commendation in this matter for their military-like efficiency when strategically placing the rat traps all along the halls of the Biology/Main Office building. Those guys are FAR more organised than I'll probably ever be and to them, I have to give a special 'Well Done!" My only hope is that the rat doesn't breed; that'd REALLY be trouble.
 
My personal collection of high-school and college textbooks are so old that they are in The Smithsonian.

As Director of Fun, I feel compelled to remind you all that Father's Day is one short week away. There will be a gift shop this year for those who could not make their own cheesy little gifts and gadgets for Dear Old Dad. Naturally they are all handmade, so the lounge will offer a special on end of the day tequila, so that pops can go abstract to figure out what the heck he got.
 
The Smithsonian has often inquired of Darth to display is varied collection of computer knick-knacks.


Darth, thanks for all of that info. I was out of the office on Friday (though still working) so I didn't get your memo.
 
Computer knick-knacks are often quite expensive, but usually all they do is sit on a shelf and beep.


Yeah, I imagine Mexican Coke is pretty good WMC. I just can't imagine that's what it says on the package. [see other thread] :)
When I registered for SS, it was required to do it to apply for college, not even including the grants and stuff. But then again "government support" wasn't really a selling point back in the late 80s as much as it is now.
 
Sit on a shelf and beep while the Roadrunner takes a breather, Wile E Coyote still manages to blow himself up and fall off a cliff.
 
Off a cliff is where I wanted throw my Computer yesterday.


I actually went to Office Depot last night and got another one, an HP with a 500 GB hard drive and 5 GB memory, my old one was at least 7 years old and I bought it used off a friend and didn't have much memory, and couldn't update it to Windows 7 along with many other things.
 
Yesterday I washed all the tablecloths, napkins, placemats, tea towels and finger towels for next weekend's big dinner.
 
Next weekend's big dinner must be invitation only because I hadn't heard it about until now and no invitation has arrived in the mail.

:'(
 
Next weekend's big dinner for the outgoing graduates will have audio abd background music produced and run by yours truly.

Finished with putting that together last week. Right now I'm at the computer centre getting everything ready and in order for opening night to-morrow. Of course, Bruce isn't anywhere to be found, not that I'm all that surprised. To-morrow morning he'll be getting a good tongue-lashing if I can help it! Robin did an exquisite job of straightening up the WGZOO room last night; you'll get to see that to-morrow. A magnificent server should be displayed in an impeccably clean computer room.

Oh yeah, they caught the rat early this morning, near the west exit of the building by the library. But I see they still didn't get the splattered rodent blood cleaned off the wall yet. (Must have been a pretty juicy little creature!)

And wouldn't it be a shame if WMC hadn't beaten me to the punch?

In the mail the other day came the LNB for a forthcoming satellite downlink centre I plan to install this summer at my Mum's house.
 
2 feet in front of me are liable to get stepped on if they come close enough, given my size 16's, and I imagine that having 245 pounds of pressure exerted upon someone else's feet by a cowboy boot could not be all that pleasant an experience.

[size=8pt]Unless they're wearing steel-toes, like I do. Those do help.

I'm done straightening up the computer centre and boy, it sure looks swell. Come one, come all, to-morrow through Wednesday! I'll even have a simulated TOPS-20 "operator-mode" login set up on the PDP-10 so you, too, can get in there and play Sysop; to learn how it all works and find out how we make it all work.
