Hey the old nomorelibs is back!!

much better than the pink hat wearing one! :lkick:


Remember when you ran away
And I got on my knees
And begged you not to leave
Because I'd go beserk
Well you left me anyhow
And then the days got worse and worse

And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa
They're coming to take me away ho-ho hee-hee ha-haaa
To the funny farm
Where life is beautiful all the time
And I'll be happy to see those nice young men
In their clean white coats
And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa
You thought it was a joke
And so you laughed
You laughed when I said
That losing you would make me flip my lid
Right?
You know you laughed
I heard you laugh, you laughed
You laughed and laughed and then you left
But now you know I'm utterly mad
And they're coming to take me away ha-haaa

That was because Californicated decided to charge three times what a bill was the month before. One or two $600 electric bills that last month were $200 and we did what Texans do. Yes, we do have our own grid and no longer have to come hat in hand to another state for our power.

My job is to keep the megawatts pumping out to ERCOT.

Wow!. Fox, that song is disturbing (and too true.)
Yeah, I don't have a cell phone. Sometimes it's a bit of a problem, someone could die and I wouldn't be able to dial help. TB2K and the rest of the Net is enough of a distraction. Recently here, Internet went down for several days, (Hence the continuous log in). No news. If that happens, (thread drift), if that happens I'll have no idea what is going on. Expect it.

As I hide under my bed scared of WuFlu, and now see other “issues” posted here and in BS (and I do not mean bovine excrement)...
...with the OP from the boss, and noting this is getting to even his thick skin, I think we could all use a wee bit of “kick ass”:

TB2K is all about awareness, preparation, and a wise response. Keep the faith!

Alright, where did I leave that can of “whoop ass”?!

I wonder how much of this is intentional?

In Neuro-Lingustic Programming (NLP), there is a “confusion techique”, related to hypnosis: The Hypnotic Art of Confusion

This link may not be the best reference, but it is a commonly employed technique. Essentially, by confusing the dickens out of someone, there is a tendency to bypass the normal filtering, and “speak to the subconscious”.

Commercials do it a lot, with mind-numbing scene after scene (the confusion part), with last scene selling something: “Drink Pepsi!”

I am too dim-witted to do it myself, but I can often see when it is being done. Used to have an IT contractor that used to use a lot of manipulative NLP tactics like that: after learning a bit about NLP, it really pissed me off when he pulled it on me.

Interestingly, a LOT of mega church preachers use NLP.

Had the 78 record as a young child (age 6). It came from a Scholastic book order Mom placed at school.

Now on the flip side the song was played backwards. It made the hair on the back of my neck stand straight up the one and only time I played it. Yeah, it did. It's imprinted in my memories as one of the prominent ones of that era. Yes, it is!

Haa! You know Sarah never said that. But you can see Russia from certain places in Alaska. You're quoting from a silly Saturday Night Live skit, not what she said. :P

Big Diomede and Little Diomede Islands in the Bering Sea, which straddle the International Date Line and are part of Russia and the US, respectively, are only a few miles apart from one another. So from Little Diomede, you could actually walk to Russia when the water between them is frozen. (I've been into maps since I was a kid and always found little oddities like that fascinating.)

Nice work Raven
I really can't wait for the space aliens to arrive.
I need to repair the washing machine valve box, and fix the gutters, and get some electric work done and replace the garage doors and openers and replace the pier caps on the driveway stanchions, and replace a couple of those ornamental concrete pineapples on the castle wall . . . oh yea, and clean the moat again.
A good invasion by inter dimensional EBEs should give me enough time.

Seems like you are putting any down time to good use.

Nice moat! You need an alligator float in it though.
