LUDDITE says: “A must have in every home in America !”
*** begin quote ***
For everyone who would rather not have a gun in the house!
In view of the recent Supreme Court ruling, sales of this new product may skyrocket.
The dummies in Washington think they are going to take away our guns, so check this out. I like it!
They’d NEVER think of NAIL GUNS!
They’re concentrating on doing away with the BULLET-TYPE of ammunition! HAH! I think I’m going to buy some NAIL GUNS and NAILS,
and, we don’t even have to REGISTER them or have LICENSES for them!
HA! HOW STUPID ARE THEY?
In addition, you don’t have to worry about them being CONCEALED!
Once in awhile something so totally cool comes out that even a guy who doesn’t normally even know what he would like for Father’s Day or Christmas would immediately ask for it:
Thank you, DeWalt!!!
New Nail Gun, made by DeWALT
It can drive a 16-D nail through a 2×4 at 200 yards.
This makes construction a breeze; you can sit in your lawn chair and build a fence.
Just get your wife to hold the fence boards in place while you sit back,
relax and when she has the board in the right place, just fire away.
With the hundred round magazines, you can build the fence with a minimum of reloading. After a day of fence building with the new DeWalt Rapid fire nail gun, the wife will not ask you to build or fix anything else, probably, ever again.

*** begin quote ***
“You are standing at the end of a road before a small brick building. Around you is a forest. A small stream flows out of the building and down a gully…..”
That’s the beginning. The beginning of Adventure, also known as Colossal Cave, but also the beginning of adventure games as we know them today.
This title, being a historic game, also has an interesting history. In 1973 its creator, Bill Crowther, was a developer involved in the creation of ARPAnet. He and his wife used to be enthusiast spelunkers, as well as regular Dungeons and Dragons players.
In their spare time, the Crowthers explored and mapped portions of the Mammoth and Flint Ridge cave systems in Kentucky for the Cave Research Foundation.
During this period, the couple split up. To be nearer to his two daughters, Crowther decided to write a program for their amusement. A simulation of this cave he explored, mixed with elements from his fantasy roleplaying. They enjoyed it a lot, and the game was passed from friend to friend during the early days of the internet.
Eventually, in 1976, programmer Don Woods found a copy, enjoyed it as well, and contacted Crowther to ask whether he could expand it. Crowther gave his permission. So Woods, who loved the Lord of the Rings trilogy, added some typical Tolkien elements such as Elves, Trolls and even a volcano (inspired by Mount Doom). The game was then completed as we know it today.

Boy, I loved that game. Played on an old TI with the thermal paper. Made maps and charts. It was a hit with all the injineers. Sigh! Lost youth.

*** begin quote ***
All you need to know about the cool new World’s Largest Gummy Worm is that this completely disturbing edible ribbed invertebrate measures in at a massive 26″ long with a 5″ girth, weighs 3 pounds, has 4000 calories, is equivalent to approximately 128 regular gummy worms or 840 regular gummy bears, serves up to 34 people and even has a creepy smiley face.

This disgusting thing just seemed seasonally appropriate?

SS: Brady sucks- J E T S Jets Jets Jets!! Sorry I have to disown you now- it’s been nice knowing you for the past 20 years. Your family is still welcome in my home, unless of course they too like Brady.
ZF: Scott prefers overrated teams. You’ll have to excuse him. He’s from Jersey and just doesn’t know any better.

MP4B = “Millionaires Playing For Billionaires”
And we should care, why? Don’t get me wrong I’ll watch. But I also stare at traffic accidents, train wrecks, my legal mentor Judge Judy, and can be disgusted by Jerry Springer as the tv gets surfed thru channels.
But to quote the pre-eminent Social Philosopher of our day, Ms. Betty White, watching the NFL with any sense of attachment, concern about the outcome, amusement at the childish antics, or even empathy for the players, is “a colossal <synonym for the act of procreation> waste of time”!
Amusement from a day of working in the mines, distraction form life’s vicissitudes, or even a dalliance on a whimsy … fine.
Just remember that these bozos, who can’t even act human, are making more money that you’ll EVER make, to entertain the mob. (That’s you and, at times, me.) At least, Vana White has the class and the wisdom to acknowledge that she was lucky to get the easiest job in the world and feels an obligation to do “charities” when they ask.
So, now when anyone “talks sports”, you’ll silently think “MP4B”. But don’t say anything. Lest you be thought of as a crotchety fat old white guy injineer who can take the fun out of anything.
“Son, we live in a world that has walls, … …. And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, saves lives. You don’t want the truth because deep down in places you don’t talk about at parties, you want me on that wall, you need me on that wall.” Colonel Jessep in A Few Good Men played by Jack Nicholson
On the “wall” protecting you from self-delusion and the Gooferment in my tin foil hat and with my “urban yute discouragement devices”.
Sigh, it’s gonna be a long day with little respite.
p.s., You should thank your lucky stars for new jersey; look at all the corrupt politicians we absorb. Next to chicago, we’re probably number 2 in that. But we’re trying harder. If we didn’t absorb them, they might infect the Bible Belt. Argh! I gotta get to NH for the Third American Revolution.
p.p.s, In case you were wondering, the Second was the War of Norther Aggression.
:-)
Facebook too is a …!

Triage
Once upon an ER dreary, while I pondered the weak and the wearying,
Over many medical folk, in their forgotten verse, yelling,
While I watched my loved one suffer and wait patiently for some healing.
The noise became a deafening discordant dissonance jarring,
I heard a cacophony of urgently demanding machines a beeping,
But my pen, to a happier place, was me a-taking,
Where no one is sick, hurting, or for a bed pan waiting.
And, in this place, I sit in quiet contemplating,
That everyone is perfect, vibrant, and sitting
in quiet enjoyment of the sun shine setting,
all together, at peace, healthy, in my happy place.
