Bring me the head of Diego Garcia...and the Mayor of Addu Atoll too!

You would be too if the locals decided this was the way to capture the tourist dollar.

The juxtaposition of that jeep driver's arm required a double take before I was willing to agree that was a little bugger.

Buggers can multi-task

Technical Support Issue (no really):

The demolition and 20 year old shrubbery destroyer gang were using a reciprocating saw and it tripped a breaker. My desktop was on. Next time in went in the room it was off. [:(]

The little green LED by the power connector is on but no fans are working and the power on button doesn't work. When you unplug the power cord the LED goes out after about 10 seconds (probably some emergency capacitor or something). When you plug it in the green light comes on again bu that is it.

I figured in might be the power supply got fried because the fans wont fire up (or worse). Even so, considering the power supply is cheap, I thought I might just buy a new one and try it.

But I can't get the damn 24 pin connector out of the mother board socket. The little plastic release catch on one side appears to be properly clear but it won't budge despite significant force. I'm afraid I will flex the mother board and destroy it (if it isn't already) if I pull any harder.

It just doesn't seem I should have to reactivate Neanderthal genes to get the damn thing lose. Is there a tool for this?

Note that this motherboard was already replaced once under warranty when my irrationally exhuberant labrador subjected it to 80g.

Take photos and post them. Get all four sides as clear as you can.

Editrix Note: We wish to remind the readers that in no part of the English-speaking world is the use of an "h" in the word "exuberant" considered correct. The only possible exception would be some remote backwoods areas near the Tug River valley.

To be clearer than my Argletonian colleague-he meant to take pictures of the motherboard. Please do not post pictures of yourself from four sides, in spite of his somewhat vague suggestion.

Thank you.

Or maybe the neighbor who sought comfort on your couch when she had a bad spirit reaction or bad reaction to spirits.

[Cap Mandrake]

O, I got the pictures from all 4 sides. I don't really have 4 sides so I did front and back and the two sides. I did kinda hurt my neck trying to get the picture from behind. I hope this was really necessary.


Now I need help posting them from my I-phone.

****************Pranning********************

The first wave lads from Seattle have already left followed closely by the Canadians from Victoria which will assault Onnetokan-jima.

A regiment of 24th Div and engineers and armor are now two days out from Pearl and headed North.

Troops from Dutch Harbor and Kodiak and Anchorage are all on their way. Half the troops from Adak are embarked but also have the shortest to travel.

The carriers, Essex and a CVL and their DD's , will top off in the big rendezvous area South of Adak from AO's and then everyone moves generally West, trying to elude the likely recon from PJ, until we run NW for the two bases in the Kuriles and, 1-2 days later, Sakhalin.

Admiral Lord Sprior's landing force for Moulmein is in the Bay of Bengal and will move NE to hug the coast of India and the bases in Northern Burma.

He will arrive before the attack in the Kuriles.

The destruction crew was short-handed yesterday because one guy got arrested on an outstanding warrant for a traffic violation. [:)]

They were demolishing concrete spindles yesterday on the balcony. At one point the big boss above and Moses, on a platform below, were hammering at the same spindle from both sides. [X(]

I watched that for about 15 seconds then I went inside and reinstated my insurance umbrella policy.

Nice Lady from State Farm: What policy limits would you like Mr. Mandrake?

FAM: I want the one Bill Clinton had.

Nice Lady from State Farm: Do you mean the President?

FAM: Yep, THAT ONE. I want his policy.

Are you suggesting that these fine upstanding contractors you've hired may not be fully licensed and bonded, good sir? [X(]

They are making up for that by charging you 25 pounds for postage though.
