Let's say you were allowed to borrow an industrial robot. Of course, you'd take it to the desert and have it throw bowling balls at an RV, right? Flaming bowling balls....
I'm supposed to deliver you to the Master now. There's this whole deal where I get to be immortal. Are you cool with that?

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Allyson, don't know how your finances are in regard to handling a $40 extra purchase. But for $20 or under you can get a cheap pay-as-you-go phone (Virgin or some such), add a $20 top up card and then choose an appropriate card for how you will use it that month. It will be good only for voice, and maybe texting. Once you get your real phone, you can still use the cheap one for some calls until you use up all the minutes, so it does not cost you $40 net. After you use up your minutes, then put it aside for a spare in case you are ever between cells again. After a while they will take whatever number they assigned away, but if you ever have to use it again you can activate it again from scratch with a new top-off card.

Hrm, I wish I knew the OB's name that delivered my friend's baby. Because I want to sent her a pic of Miss P and the new one. All the others she's delivered, they got a pic with her, but she had another delivery almost immediately and had to dash (who knew a 10 person L&D could get so busy?! I was empty but for L when I got there!)
They called her Hillis, but google isn't helping me at all. Phooey. I also want to thank her for her wonderful treatment of Miss P and me.

Have trouble concentrating on your studies? Try the German Learning Egg. Shut yourself inside and absorb information from tape recordings, color slides, even an old-fashioned book or two. Six minutes inside turns you into a hard-boiled expert.
Dammit, now I want one. And I didn't know books were old-fashioned as far back as 1971....

Bearded Men of the 21st Century (1939)
Gilbert Rhode banishes buttons, pockets, collars, ties. The man of the next century will revolt against shaving and wear a beautiful beard, says the designer of boilers, pianos, clocks, and metal furniture. His hat will be an an antennae - snatching radio out of the ether. His socks disposable, his suit minus tie collar and buttons.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
From the comments in that link
the feet, presumably with streamlined bunions, are to be encased in nothing more or less than congress gaiters 'with pores just large enough for air, but too small for water'
Someone predicted Gore-tex! And was mocked for it. That's wonderful.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Sure, Joe, Aimee will let you do this...
