Irony at its best! Thank you. I make spelling mistakes all the time so don't take me seriously.

I'd hope that you would like it. And really np I've seen enough of your posts to realize when you are being serious and not.

Oh, that's okay, we can improvise. I think I saw some fava beans next to the pickled onions. We'll have to wait for Gokul or polyb to come back and tell us if there's any chianti, otherwise we'll have to settle for the Guinness on tap.

damn, I tried to cut and paste that last comment onto here, but it didn't work.
Moonbear, do we have any more bandaids?

I think we ran out of bandaids a while ago. There's still a lot of duct tape. You'll have to settle for that. Or, we can just use freeze-cautery to stop the bleeding. Did you blow up the nitrogen tank in that last explosion, or do we still have some of that?
 
  • #98
Oh, the canister of nitrogen is still full. Wherever it landed, it landed full.
hmm. what's this?
...may cause intestinal bleeding...blindness...night sweats...horrible, horrible death...
may? cause.
may not? cause?
Doesn't look so tough.

Well if Trib didn't waste all of the superglue there is always the Nam fix, also if we needed LN2 several years ago we could of stolen it from the physics building at my collage, the door combo was the first 5 digits of the atomic weight of N2. Sadly they changed it my junior year :cry: all of that fun with LN2 gone.

Now they basically sell superglue as an alternative to stitches, but give it a different name, which allows them to sell it at 10 times the price.

Okay, I'm going for either the 100th post or 100th reply (depending if someone beats me to it here), and then I think it's time to call it a night.

That's alright. I'm already working on the oatmeal raisin cookies for Enigma. Now that he's all respectable looking...well, when you're done playing with those batteries and belt sanders, could you take the whole thing over to the hot tub? I've got a nice insurance policy on you, but remember, you have to make it an accident. :biggrin:

This sounds like the kind of thing that will get people hurt so to avoid injury I'm going to call it a night and leave this party (ducks to avoid a flying belt sander).

There's a couple bottles of Classico Riserva. Will that do ? How many glasses ?

There's also this great bottle of Bushmill's Irish Whiskey, but we'll save that for later.

Franz...you've been drinking all weekend...today should be your day off !

Yep, that will do! Can someone less drunk than me double check the label on those "fava beans?" I seem to recall something else was supposed to be stored next to the pickled onions, and I think they were important to tribdog. :rolleyes: :blushing:
 
  • #107
Are we calling it a night then ?

It's been fun. Yeah, I missed some of the fireworks, but the aftermath is quite entertaining ! Moonbear, I'm glad I emptied the 150 proof Bacardi into your hurricanes.

Awright people...we finish these here Chiantis and then, pick yourselves up and march...
 
  • #108
Trib, I'll doggie-bag the Bushmills for you.
 
  • #109
Thanks Gokul! We'll have to make the Suggestion Box our regular watering hole. Great place here. Goodnight everyone. Anyone need to share a cab?
 
  • #110

Bartender...3 shots of Robitussin (jager) please...and can you turn on the tv and play the video of those insane motorcycle wrecks-n-stuff and some equally raucus music like Ramstein, Motorhead or something, and while you're at it can you turn on the strobes, smoke machine and disco ball please. (looks down the bar and sees a few Nuns wearing skirts that are a liii-ttle too high and 6 inch pumps(drool)) BARKEEP! Just put the bottle up here.

If not, could you play Bob Marley-One Love and turn down the lights, please?

*Or anything from the Legends album.

what's worse 0 hours of sleep or 2 hours?

Depends.

For me, i'd rather have no sleep actually. Two hours of sleep leaves me groggy and comatose. None, I'm still running full steam, that's why I'm awake.

I used to have trouble sleeping, but with this trebuchet I've been building I usually end up knocking myself out and get my rest that way.
