Back in the olden days, a guy had to spin the prop to start the plane.

WTF did he yell "contact" of all words? I could come up with a hunnert better words than "contact."

-Starting
-Here we go
-Ya' Ready?
-Aight!?!

What about the guy that spins the prop? That must be some job. I bet his mother tells everyone her son's a drug dealer.

While the comercials may try to define all IBM compatable computers as PCs and Apples as Macs the truth of the mater is that PS stands for Personal Computer, not Pentium Computer. Not that would even matter anymore since Apple is now using Intel chips.

So PC = any Laptop, Desktop, or Tablet computer.

PS stands for personal computer? What does PC stand for then? I'm confused.

Landry way too quick for me... I was still rolling on the floor with the propellor thing when this wee chestnut emerged. OOOHH my stomach hurts!!

LYSOL and all other Antibacterial sprays/cleaners... States that they kill 99.9% of bacteria, viruses and germs...

Thats all good and whatnot but what about that other 1% ?!?! I mean what is this mysterious 1% that nothing can kill? Have we contacted the CDC about this 1% cuz it must be so horribly dangerous that nothing can kill it!

So to hell with these products that don't kill everything.. I use gas now and spray it all over whatever I am touching/sitting then light a match up and let the fire kill everything.

I just hope I don't get whatever is in that 1% that nothing can kill.. cuz thats one bad germ/bacteria/virus... dang..

Just fyi, 100% - 99.9% = 0.1% not 1%.

I'm with ya, Don. I've never appreciated being asked, "Mac or PC?" What, a Mac's not a PC? IBM trademarked the words "personal computer"? It's always just been trendspeak.

The guy in the cockpit was making "contact" in a switch that engaged the magnetos. It was a warning so the prop guy didn't get his arm lopped off.

They say they kill less that 100% not so much because some critters are unkillable, but because even non-porous surfaces offer protective hideouts. Also, it takes some threshold number of virii to infect a person. One won't do it.

You can stop setting things on fire now.

Cooties. Specifically "feminism cootaliss", more commonly known as "girl cooties." The only thing that kills them is crossing one's fingers when they touch a girl.

Nothing worse than Old School Lysol being sprayed over the top of a turd.

It can be a battle of the titans. However, the turd usually wins. And...as an added bonus.....You still get to smell medicinized shyte.

I guess....but at least it warmed the commode seat before I sat down.

We did some work once at the old train station downtown. The bums lived in the tunnels, and used them as restrooms.

This really sweet girl named Betsy stepped in it. A LOT OF IT. Gross.

Why do people for no good reason pretend you are not there or they can't see you when you pass by in a corridor.
Then the very next day greet you like they've been waiting to see you all day....
Selective ignorance??

jgreth · 03-06-2008, 10:56 AM

I'm sorry, I can't respond to that right now.... I'm temporarily ignoring you.
