  3. Turn them into the police and file a report. After 30 days, they're mine!
  4. Gizoogle it! Repost, but still funny as hell.
  5. Apparently some of the staff really, really, like 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force'
  6. CNN headline: 'Several killed in suspected Florida tornadoes'
  7. Depends on the board. Might be worth sitting down for coffee and a chat.
  8. Wow, this one could be really bad. Watching it on Fox right now. When you think about it, central Florida is, for the large part, a glorified trailerpark.
  9. i wan vomit to ths drinkng game s hard
  10. Would that be plexi out in a hallway like that or glass?
  11. Oooooook. It is now officially a slow workday.
  12. I'm buying the raft for the first raft dive. We'll spot it over the Olive Garden.
  13. Just as an aside guys Dublin is a big draw that weekend for the Harley motorcycle crowd as well so rooms may be tight if you wait. Last year I took my suitcase with Sat morning in case I didn't make it back (don't want a DUI, ya know) and upon my return same night I found the fockers rented my room out again, probably at a higher rate even though I was reserved and checked in for the whole weekend.
  14. I call 'foul' on claiming the all-girl road trip! Hans is a 'boy' dog.
  15. Not to mention they're making an extra 9% on the exchange rate. BOOYA!
  16. Can you get a lower interest rate on a car loan than the CD savings rate?
  17. Didn't we jump out of one of those?
  18. The problem I've always had with higher order math is that nothing related to anything in the real world. Here's an equation- solve it. To me it was a bunch of triangles and letters and squiggly lines. Well, you solve it and it tells you the triangle D over the triangle y is equal to arctan of the greek d times the elongated e raised to y times s. OK- big friggin deal. Glad I'm paying 350 a credit hour for this. The only thing I really understood out of diff eq was the spring/dashpot situation. you displace the spring and depending on the degree of damping you can extrapolate several equation to describe the position of the spring at any time. Neat stuff- so what. Turns out when I started to study process control the spring problem is a perfect representation of what happens to a process control loop when you feed it an upset or change the tank level setpoint from 70% to 85% That's the key- finding something tangible you can grab onto and visualize.
  19. I take it the 'Roaming Gnome' isn't available?
  20. Buy some ishares of IJT Trouncing the S&P500
  21. Stranded on the cheapest caribbean getaway which operates on the devalued Venezualen currency. For two days. Bummer. I actually went on the internet and started checking prices for houses and condos on Margarita Island. Hey, I could learn HL7 and be an interface specialist working remote. From the deck at my house. On the beach. On Margarita Island. Uh oh. The wheels are turning now. (EDIT: Seriously though, I am glad they made it back OK.)
  22. The joys of homeOWEnership. I knew I turned a corner in my life when I stood in my basement with Dad and had a 30 minute interactive conversation about how he installed the new furnace and water heater.
