  1. When was the last time you saw a tube tester at a drug store? I used to hunt in a remote [roadless] area in Alaska that was a former DEW site in the 50's. Most of the structures were long gone, but when they demolished them apparently they hauled all the electronics to a big dump. There were huge rack's of electronics laying around, all filled with hundred's of vacuum tubes. Remember this was military, so it was state of the art. I suppose the same function could be accomplished today with something you could put in your shirt pocket.
  2. Terrell Davis is the reason Elway has rings. Marino was a wimp, I saw him dive out of the way many times after throwing a INT. As far as Kelly, where not the AFC Championship games playoffs?
  3. America's team player go's after Minn sideline Poor JJ. I know you all feel bad
  4. You just gave me a great idea for a new trendy shop selling kitchen appliances and Woman's Winter wear. "Where did you get that espresso machine?""Why from intelligent Design" "And that lovely fur coat?" " From Global Warming-They explained the poor animals don't need their fur anymore, so I bought these Gorgeous Mink coats".
  5. The thing that always amazed me[and I have excellent credit-I have no personal Axe to grind here] is how a person with a CC balance at say, 9.99% faithfully pays their $200 minimum payment every month till one payment comes in at 12.02 AM EST instead of12.01, and the company jacks their interest to 29.99% with the new minimum payment at $300. [$100 being strictly interest] now the creditor defaults. What a lose/lose situation. I am just a small potato's landlord but I swear I have more business sense than Citi/Chase. Would I double the rent on a good tenant because they where a day late on the rent? Seems like a great way to go out of business. Oh wait then I could get bail out money
  6. ANY personal problems can affect workplace performance. How much they do depends on the individual, not a arbitrary, secret formula credit score. Should I not hire someone because he was late on a child support payment 3 years ago?
  7. You ought to see the price on a jar of whole peppers. If I could pick a peck of pickled peppers I would be a wealthy man. But I find chili completely unsatisfactory without them.
  8. I think it's Tabasco. I never cared for the sauce but I get the whole pepper pickled in jars[Trappey's- can be hard to find] They are cute little guys, no longer then your fingernail, but are absolute killer in a bowel of Chili.
  9. Did that happen when Satan spread his wings?
  10. Pants on the ground? What happened to cool song names like War Pigs?
  11. BS. People have bad credit scores for a million reasons. A divorce, medical bills, cosigning a bad loan, etc. Whats that got to do with job performance?
  12. Remember when TV's came in "cabinets" and took two strong men and a mule to move?
  13. He shouldn't have needed to. It was in on the catch before.
  14. 15 yards for that? BS.
  15. You lost me. What does getting a job have to do with governing the economy?
  16. I had to blast it again final solution God I love that stuff[pardon me for slipping into my native language on the film]
  17. I am not military, but I do subscribe to the Powell doctrine.Don't use a tackdriver when a piledriver is available. Or the Tim Allen home improvement doctrine, if you prefer.
  18. I Keep the spare in a shielded area. God I love being in weapons research. Comes in so handy for those little chores around the house.
  19. I may have more then one computer?
  20. Fixed it!! my solution No more problems!
  21. Amazing I drove from Buffalo to Alaska in a 1972 Blazer with a 99 cent pocket atlas from 7-11.
  22. Honestly I am shocked you forgot "Bull Moose" Teddy was my favorite 3rd party candidate Now we get drooling morons like Nader and Perot
  23. I thought this was going to have pictures of bare chested woman
  24. Where would you get a replacement keyboard?
  25. Last night I spilled a beer[Alaska pale ale, good stuff] on my laptop. Well at first it went bat s..., wouldn't work at all. Now it seems to work OK except some of the keys are non-functional. Most are, but I can't type a j or x for example . Is there some sort of way fix this?? A cleaner of some kind?
