Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

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

Coolets. Christmas tree. Evah!

Tesla tornado xmas tree

It's funny how you can't even tell from the technical description that it's an X-mas tree:

This Tesla Tornado is made using a Subaru blower fan motor, complete with its 3-position speed switch mounted on the base. The blower motor has a flywheel fabricated out of Lexan with 6 neodymium magnets mounted in it. It magnetically couples with 6 magnets in the Tesla Pump disc pack, which is inside the vortex tube. The Tesla pump discs are magnetically driven by the blower motor flywheel magnets, so there is no direct connection. The pump disc pack is self-centering, and there is no rotating shaft, shaft bearings, or seals required.

The gun store Hubby prefers stocks pink BB guns. Also green and yellow, for the full co-ordinating experience. From what I know about Utah women, though, they would insist on matching power as the boys' BB guns.

I've seen little girls at the range in pink coats, proudly toting their pink guns.

Huh. Van Morrison is a father again at age 64.

Actually, that may partly be due to the fact that, at least in California, the law allows BB guns as long as they are obviously toys, i.e., in bright colors like pink, purple, etc.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Why, why did I click? Not that gross but I still didn't need to see it.

Who wants to do a physics problem for me?

How much would the tire pressure of my bike drop (in %) when the temperature of the air goes from 70 degrees to 10 degrees?

Crap, I could have done this when I was in high school....
