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.

Huh. I just got a letter from the landlord asking if we want to buy the house we're renting.

On the one hand, great location.

On the other hand, we were thinking of going to something with, say, another half a bathroom.

On the other other hand, priced below anything else in the neighborhood.

And again I say, huh.

edit: way below, I think.
