Blah-ditty-blah

one other thing i wanted to post. . . . but first, or last, note the new quote at the bottom ;o)

so, some other person on a forum posted this picture which i will share with you momentarily.

so far, while working with people in the shop, whenever i have not understood what they are talking about i've asked them if they remember that farside cartoon. . .. this one in fact



i can understand numbers or certain words. . . but not the entire concept of what they refer to. one of the guys is way into hawling and crawling. . . in other words tricked out off road vehicles that can climb mountains and really rough terrain. . . it's pretty neat. .. and we've watched a couple of videos that he brought in.. . . but when he started talking about vehicle modification, my eyes glazed over, and my brain turned into a gelatenous goo between my ears. . .

but i found something new to reference, or in this case, post or hold up when i get that 'i have no clue' feeling. someone else posted it .. . . and i liked it . . and took it.




now i also have a small theory that the pancake is, in fact, not a pancake. . . but a japanese cookie. . . notice, if you look closely, that it appears that there are two thin pancakes. . . well there is a traditional japanese cookie that is made out of stuff that looks like a pancake, but in between its two layers would be something like a sweet red bean paste. . . . not that it really matters. just thought i'd point it out.

so when anyone starts talking about structural engineering near me. . . i have printed out a large version of this picture. . . --though i have yet to mount it on something reinforced and add a stick handle--. . . . anyway, i hold it up. . . and the idea is conveyed.

this morning. . . a couple of people were talking about gunsmoke and other western type tv shows. . . that i have never seen, or really had the inclination to go out of my way to see. . . . without the stick and reinforced back, the picture has ended up in a few piles of paper. . . but i quickly searched it out and held it up. . . .

if nothing else, it tends to get a giggle from people who notice my eyes glaze and a small amount of drool form at the corner of my mouth as i pretend to listen intently. . . but don't understand a bloody word.

have a good one!

This is football we're talking about here, which you call bananas and you're reluctant to play it. But you play baseball, the World Series. You've won every year, America's won every year in that. Well done America.-Eddie Izzard
