MMC = maximum military climb.

Evasive maneuver of an F4.

Pio,

Before you edited your post, you said there were four conditions. Okay, just guessing here:

1. Don't tug on Superman's cape
2. Don't pull the mask off the Lone Ranger
3. Don't p*ss in the wind.......

What's number four?

LOL Todd

I never realised Pio had edited his post.

Hint: Once I read a post Pio I don't go back and read it again.

LOL

I am very happy for you Pio. Those 4 rules work a treat.

Rumor has it that cape is the only thing keeping you decent as you repose on your sofa. I don't think any of us want to pull that.

I think #4 is you don't mess around with gem(ela).

I am not sure what it is about the word repose, but when I hear it, I conjure a man lying (laying?) on a sofa, dressed in a smoking jacket, smoking a stale, cheap cigar while watching rasslin'.

A guy in a smoking jacket watching wrestling? What planet are you FROM?

Guys who watch wrestling have on a dirty T-shirt, boxer shorts, haven't bathed in a week and are drunk asleep on the sofa in front of the TV with a beer spilled all over them that was in their hand before they passed out and a cigarette butt currently burning a new hole in the cushion.

The following are the contents of a memory test given to me in 1972. I have never done it in writing before so not sure of some spellings but the way you give the test is to recite to the person as follows:

One hen
one hen, two ducks
one hen, two ducks, three squawking geese.....etc.

It is a lot of fun to see folks try to repeat it. Some even get where they can not count while trying to recite it.

Have fun.


1. One Hen
2. Two Ducks
3. Three squawking geese
4. Four limerick oysters
5. Five corpulent porpoises
6. Six pairs of John L. Versos tweezers
7. Seven thousand Macedonian warriors dressed in full battle array
8. Eight brass monkeys from the ancient sacred crypts of ancient Egypt.
9. Nine apathetic, sympathetic, diabetic old men on roller skates with a marked propensity towards procrastination and sloth and,
10. Ten lyrical, spherical, diabolical descendents of the deep who haul and stall around the corners of the Quill, the Quo and the Quay all at the same time together.

BTW it is rasslin', not wrestling.

Look, I cannot explain it. It is simply the vision I get when I hear or read the word repose. Do not like that word.

I think Hugh Hefner has something to do with it.

And I suppose you think Hugh passes his time watching "rasslin'". I got news for ya dude.

I can't even remember where I was in 2002.

No, but he does wear a smoking jacket. And he engages in rasslin'.

I cannot remember where I was in 2002 either, but I do remember 1972. One of the things DS3 "helped" me with this past weekend was to narrow my zone of spotty memory to the last five years. He told me about a steak house we used to go to all the time. I cannot remember ever going there, eating there or the name of the place. What is so weird is that I could describe the logo to him. I asked him if I enjoyed the steak there and he said that I did. At least that is something.

well booka,

based on your response I am a bit disappointed because I guess we cannot discuss the benefits of analog computers. Too bad.

Couldn't sleep last night Todd? Was it the dreams of Hugh reposing on a sofa? That would keep me awake. I never understood what women found attractive about him. Maybe some found the lifestyle attractive. You know, lounging by the pool with Hef, work consisting of having your photo taken nude, entertaining with your looks...I guess it appeals to a certain type.

Pio, you're probably sick of people telling you to hush with your anger & be nice but here's my version anyway.

All you really need now is to want to learn to love G again. Keep in mind that's one goal & let her work to make that happen. It's not easy to keep the anger at bay but it will feel better to approach this from a loving place rather than a hateful one.

Hi Nams,

DS1 came by last night and visited a while. After he left, I fell asleep at about 9:00 pm. I woke up somewhere around 2:00 with my pillow, bed and me drenched in blood. I assume it was from a nosebleed but no evidence of that. It was kinda weird really. But then, it is Halloween.

Unfortunately, that would be true. But it's a small negative. I'm sure that we have much more in common than we both can guess. We can talk about power tools. I'll start.

Last Christmas, I received a gift from the wife and DD13. I had left specific hints baout this gift. If you need the exact model number, I can find it for you, but it's a Bosch 14.4V impact driver. This is not an automotive impact driver, but one instead used to shoot screws. And shoot screws it does in a far more superior manner than a normal drill-driver. It really excels at remove stubborn screws. It does not have an adjustable chuck and instead only accepts hex-shanked bits. It is not intended to be used as a drill. It operates under the same principal as the automotive-type impact driver. It will not twist your arm off like some drill-drivers and long screws can often be shot one-handed. This is the single best new tool that I've used in quite a while. If you shoot a lot of screws (excluding drywall, etc.), it's a great addition to your shop.

Hi TKO,

Happy Halloween!!! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />

Todd,
Are you feeling OK?

Hi Estrela,

Thank you. I am fine.
