I need one of those.

My first thought was "tommy needs one of these!"

Yeah, I've seen videos, etc. of R/C jets like this. Very cool, if rather expensive. (I've seen jets as sophisticated as this one for sale for $20,000+. I think the engines themselves are about $2,000 apiece. So my big fear is if something goes wrong, you're left with a rather expensive hole in the ground.)

Oh, and somewhere on the web is a video of an eight-engined R/C B-52 crashing. It looked just like a real crash - it dove behind some trees, followed shortly by the appearance of a big pilar of smoke - yes, crahes of R/C jets often result in fires....

Ah, here it is: [link] (just pictures.)

Damn, the thing is as big as some homebuilt aircraft.

Timelies all!

Another folky weekend, with the open sing tonight and the Mini-Fest tomorrow.

My first thought was "tommy needs one of these!" And then I figured Gud should have one too, and the list started getting unwieldy, so I figure one for each Buffista. To start.

I'll say upfront that I don't have the storage for it, so if Emaryn or someone wants mine, that's cool.

I used to be all...well, business at the office. No personal information of any weight, and absolutely no trash talking about anyone else.

I was nice to everyone, and they were nice to me. It was pleasant.

I think Allyson textually yelled at me about forming bonds at work, and I figured I'd give it a try.

Which is why I now get a meta laugh out of walking past a co-worker and cracking him up with a hand signal for "Dear Lord, she's on the phone again????"

I still have my hard and fast rules--that one wedding was the only time I've knowingly seen co-workers outside of the office other than krav (for which they're paying, so it's all good). But the cohort-having is pretty fun.

Which reminds me of the term work-wife or work-husband. Would anyone here say they have one?

I've only recently heard the term.

I think I have a work-dog.

I do not in anyway need that plane.

I used to refer to myself as my boss's bitch, but I think that's not the same thing.

We can make it pink. And sparkly. And paint monkeys on it.

While at a Toy-R-Us for their going out of business sale and spending money that probably should not have been spent (but getting cool and heavily discounted stuff for the kids), I saw the Hello Kitty DVD player. Wow is that pink.
