Bring back the Fizz-nik, dammit!!!

Congrats!

Spoons at a session? Uh. Okay, that would bring out the not-so-nice....

Notwithstanding the "To Serve Man" references, I spent an evening with MT down in San Diego and he really is a great guy. My correspondence with Nano has been all cyber but he's a prince. I ain't suckin' up, because I don't really have anything to gain. I am prejudiced toward people who I ...

thanks for taking the time to update us. Ebb and flow regarding interests. You did start something that's been good for many, many people. Never forget it. And frankly, the two new mods are some of the best humans I have encountered. I even met one of 'em in person to verify it. Still hopin to meet ...

Fashion Items that Need a Comeback

None. Form should follow function, not fashion. Style and custom should adapt to function and that function should not be just style and custom.

Buzzkill.

I had a velour shirt, like a polo but maybe looser, with a zipper for the closure from mid-chest to neck. I think it had a rolled collar of some sort. It was cool and I took my fourth grade class pic with it. Unfortunately, during playground skirmishes, my friend grabbed it and tore it. I was heartb...

Rent "The Atomic Bomb Movie" which has the de-classified info about US testing. All the footage in one movie. Growing up on the far West Coast of the US (right in the wind pattern of SF Bay), I have my non-scientific fallout theories about why four out of five in my family have thyroid dis...

Not too many bites so here we go:

People groan at punsters because it's just a few that utter so many. It causes a kind of "resentment annoyance" because not everyone has that talent, i think. If most people uttered them it would be so ubiquitous.

I truly have been wondering about you, so it's timely and great that you posted. I hope you are well and have fond memories of meeting you when you came to visit. I think Tony is planning a whistle party for August so.... When someone "goes away" I always ponder that something bad has happ...

Hope it lasts.

Sez you. WIth the above-mentioned opener, you don't get yucky tuna juice all over the opener, etc. etc. No more black mystery crud buildup on the little wheel of the old kind. Those things are unsanitary as hell.

Yuck. No, no lickin', just scrape with whatever into the next vessel. But I am getting a bit wary of using canned food because of that coating stuff. As for sharp lids, I got one of those Pampered Chef openers that separates the lid without so much sharp edge risk. I highly recommend it. They're abo...

Holland is smokin' Of course I am wrong in my predictions of finalists as Argies out. All I do know is that the games Friday and Saturday were much more interesting and exciting than all previous. Things are really tightening up. And of course, going out of town and will miss games the rest of the w...

Hard to fight nature. Strange, I would say quite the opposite. Driving instead of walking, sitting at a desk from 9-5, food that is out of season or unrecognizable, sterile environments that are a constant temperature, etc. Modern life is spreading and not what I would call natural. Okay, then, sma...
