Talk about SCA!!!

I loved the 'proto-trombone' - what's it actually called?

And what are those reeded instruments? Surely not Oboes - (no valves, just finger holes) but maybe?

I take it that thing on screen right is a drum? (JK)

I think it's called a sackbut.

My question is - Who was the first guy to blow through a hollow stick, make a sound, and amaze the shit out of everyone standing around?

Not a SCAdian in the bunch. :rotflmao: I had a client, an engineer at Tektronics back when it still occupied the Beaverton campus, that was a SCA member. Huge dude. Six foot plus, well over 300lbs, had to drive a Dodge Powerwagon because it was the only thing that fit him. He said in his local club...

My questions would be where, when, and how. How does an infant possess an unknown virus it was never exposed to?

My speculations are enormous.

St. Vincent Broken Man. Headphones on, set it to eleven, break the knob off.

Took me a minute.

Hey! The bottle can be recycled!

That song is still in rotation on the FM station I regularly listen to. Love it.

Are you liking it? Rotten Tomatoes gave it a green splat.

Gilda is amazing!

My computer has one on its mouse. Stops the mouse getting lost when the computer wipes out. :rotflmao: :rotflmao: :rotflmao: I'm obviously an advanced keyboard warrior since I have a wireless mouse and don't need no stinkin' safety equipment. PPE is never about *your* safety. It keeps the company l...

Yeah. All these memories bring a tear to my eyes. Those were good days. Really good days. And so far behind me now.

Pooper scoopers.

I always enjoy stories about your career. Sounds like you have enjoyed a lot of widely varied and challenging adventures in your corporate life, just as I have. Keep 'em coming! Thanks John. I'm trying not to be "that guy", but as I'm crushing 71, I'm becoming the old guy with stories of ...

In Mr. V's Northfork thread I tell about my work on LIRR equipment, and about the trips Mrs and I took together. My sister found a photo album from the period. Most of it is of buildings and boats. But I have a couple pictures of us in Boston.

The LIRR is one of my success stories. It's the 1990's. Telecom and communications companies were thriving. Our company had a strong presence in the west coast public safety market, but very little in the utilities and transportation markets. We also wanted a national presence. My task was to find s...

The board is your flotation device, plus the cord helps prevent the board hitting you or others head.

Vincent Prince for sure.

If there is a casting call for zombies, he's a natural. He'll get SAG scale, but it's not nothin.

He's become Beetlejuice. I didn't know he and Bobo were dating. Or maybe this is him being aspirational.

Me thinks there has been some editing, but I approve of the new look.

You missed all the protesting. Drats! Tis the Season, though a tad early. Global swarming.

It's not a meme you really want to develope and encourage. I'd talk to your creative dept lady.

Very good. Marvelous in fact. Better than most. When my Mother died, I folded a garbage bag full of paper angel airplanes from subscription cards in magazines, and flew them off a cliff with one of my brothers. When my Father died, I did nothing. That was as much as I could muster for him. I gave hi...

If only the students had occupied while toting rifles and sidearms expressing their 2A rights as well as their 1A.

True. When my brother died I was thinking about some common experiences we had, and a memory popped in my head. I was a young’n, about 20 or so, and I was giving him a ride to our Dad’s. I got in a fender-bender (my fault). The cops were called. No big deal. I got a ticket and we went on our way. (...
