OT Things to ponder

As many of you may know, the US experimented with creating guided bombs using pigeons inside the bomb that were trained to peck at certain types of targets on a radar screen, namely ships. I have now perfected a mod that allows you to do the same thing, using a trained pigeon and your computer monitor.
If you wish to receive the mod let me know. You must capture and train your own pigeons, though. For a small extra fee I will send you a manual on how to do that. Wait, there's more! For another small fee I will include a monitor repair kit that also has everything you need to remove pigeon guano from you keyboard.

Imaginative...but pigeons are vulnerable to the falcon counter-measure.
The Germans used the more reliable parrot system, whereby the parrot would give voice commands.

My counter measure is called a storm window with a screen. Keeps the peregrines out and the pigeons in.

edit: It sure would be a better world if gorns could count.

As a young boy I thought Tina Louise was ab-so-lute-ly hot.

[geofflambert]

There's a photographer named Marc Boily who has got the goods on Tina. http://solismagazine.com/Portfolioshowc ... arc-boily/

edit: sorry, wrong Tina Louise

[geofflambert]

I do get your points. Here's the right Tina Louise

Red hair does something to me. But so do black, auburn, blonde, sandy and all the others.

[geofflambert]

I think if I had it all to do over again, I would choose a career of teasing women's hair.

I might add the specialty of for women who want their hair streaked of doing that so that their heads don't look like chess boards moving at warp speed.

Here's a little favorite of mine, Suzanne Pleshette. You may remember her from Hitchcock's The Birds where she was one of the victims.
Anyways she played Bob Newhart's wife in The Bob Newhart Show which ran for six seasons. Bob Newhart was a straight man who didn't need a sidekick.
He could make anything seem hilarious. After that show he did the Newhart show, which ran for eight seasons. In it he was a New England innkeeper and the show was similar to Fawlty Towers except instead of John Cleese you had the straight man, Newhart, and nearly everyone else was crazy.
Anyways that show came to an end as all shows must, but this one had a twist. In the final episode Bob wakes up from a dream, the Newhart show and tells his wife, Suzanne Pleshette, who's in bed next to him, all about the dream where he was a New England innkeeper. It was flipping hysterical. In any case, I wouldn't mind waking up from a dream and find Suzanne Pleshette in bed with me. [:)]

Of course, if I couldn't have that, walking into my bathroom and finding this would do.

One more. Stefanie Powers

She's a bit older here, but she could still use my pool anytime.

On a national battlefield, the only people doing digging should be archeologists. Ever.

In many ways this behavior is mystifying to me because, when it comes to the American Civil War, for every protected national battlefield there are literally 100 with no protection at all. Even national battlefields are often protecting a portion of the actual battlefield.

I am a member of the Sons are of Confederate Veterans, and once new someone in my chapter who was an avid metal detectorist. He'd go to national battlefields armed with the knowledge of a amateur civil war historian and metal detect areas not on the national battlefield where fighting took place. I often thought he was mad because he, on many occasions dig up 150 year ago old unexploded parrot shells.

Ask the farmers of Belgium and Northern France. Old munitions can still explode and kill you dead.

Gorns like dirty bathwater?? Who knew?! [;)]

[geofflambert]

Well, nothing's too dirty for me, but I try to keep control on the forum.

Are Gorns cold-blooded?

Depends on who we're with. If I was with you, probably. [:'(]

It's the day after Memorial Day. There are many other ponderous issues to consider, I thought I'd just present you with two.

Wise words indeed.
