| "So you've heard?" I was there too, remember? Lighting guy # 2?
Were you ever able to forget that weird smell in that studio?

| Speaking of smells - I burnt out half a dozen TTL chips a few days ago, all in one fell swoop. It smelled pretty bad.
Stupid power supply...

| I wonder if they could be used to help patrol our borders? At least one of which is a sieve, with, apparently, the tacit approval of our elected leaders and captains of industry. | |

| Probably have to augment them with better eyes and ears. Turn them into cyborder collies...

| Cyborder collies probably wouldn't qualify for the AKC. The AKC is being pretty picky. They won't touch goldendoodles. I can't believe they're breeding poodles and golden retrievers but the puppies are darn cute!

My golden will be kept away from all poodles- toy, standard, or coup!

| I stepped in a poodle the other day, it got my sock wet and everything. I hate when that happens. | |

By the way, wooden legs seems very handy. It'll help you stay floating should you fall overboard, you can use it as a bat, extra campfire wood etc etc.

This may be a concept which perplexes epeeists, of course.  | |

| I refer to my dogs as "poodles" when they do something dumb.
And I hate the AKC, which is just a front organization for puppy mills and people who ruin working dogs by breeding them for looks, rather than brains and ability.

I heard they weren't allowed to use the full name now because it's not really chicken any more. But ground puppy? That's going too far. Goodness knows what McDonalds use now; Soylent happy meals, perhaps? Puts a whole new meaning into Big Mac, d'ye ken.

| Maybe THAT's what Taco Bell is putting in their burritos. By the way, whatever happened to that talking chihuahua?

| I keep waiting and hoping that the movie "George and the Dragon" will finally be released in the US. What's the hold-up, anyway? James Purefoy's all over HBO now in "Rome", so by now he must have some sort of following here besides *me*. And it can't be half as bad as most of the drivel we see coming out of Hollywood. Anybody know where I might get a bootleg of it?

| Was the talking chihuahua in that movie? Otherwise, I'm not interested in seeing it.

| My last dog use to open his mouth along small dogs as if he was sizing them up when they were too yappy... it was quite funny... I swear that dog had a sense of humour!

My favorites are the electrical-field sensors of some underwater animals. And the pit viper's pits, actually infrared eyes, always make me think of that movie "Predator."
