I've seen one in person and it's beautiful. I want to find one for DH someday.
Dear Mr. Cashmere,
The stories I've been hearing about you lately have made you out to be Ideal!Husband, so breathe easy. I'm pretty sure your wife means a slide rule above, and not the aforementioned Tucker Carlson wood.
Aw c'mon. I can't be the only person that had to think when reading Cashmere's second post.
OH MY WORD. YOU'RE ALL AT YOUTUBE.
Here's a bunch of virtual slide rules: [link] With these you can actually use your computer to perform arithmetic!
"The latest information is available on our website. Are you sure you want to speak to a customer service representative?"
Grrrr. This one makes me see red. Especially when they keep asking you this while you're waiting for the next available customer service person.
I don't watch Dancing with the Stars, but I've heard Tucker Carlson got an embarrassing errection during his number with a sexy dancer.
Ya know, as much as I like to see Schmucker Carlson humiliated publicly (*sigh* - and what did I inevitably typo for that word initially?), I could have gladly gone my whole life without seeing his name and "erection" (or "wood") in the same sentance.
House: I think they should have other doctors on there more often, because without Vogler, House is his only antagonist.
I didn't see any wood, myself, but 1. he so cannot dance and 2, my god what was she wearing, a bra made of fringe??
My horoscope says: Clark Kent had Superman. Diana Prince has Wonder Woman. Now it's time for you to develop your own alter ego. Be detailed, down to the kind of clothes he or she wears. The next time you're feeling shy, bring them out instead.
I'm too lazy to design an alter-ego.I have enough problems with the ego I have now.
I'm eating wasabi potato chips. I'm not sure yet if they're good or nasty...
Now I totally want a nice old sliderule....
My favorite scene in Apollo XIII is when all the guys in mission control break out their sliderules and start calculating frantically. I'm like, "dudes, don't invent space ships before calculators, m'kay?"
