That'll learn ya.
And since it's been 2 years - have you won the lottery yet?

A few $2 winners, but all in all, my winnings are far below the statistical level they should have.
I suppose I'll just have to settle for good looks instead of money.

Well, some can claim to have won the genetic lottery. More power to you.

Yes - when one realizes they are somewhat further evolved - the next genetic increment - they still have to be nice to mere mortals - play carefully with my toys lest I break them.

That QA post should have been reported and removed. It was not a question, just some lame joke.
Now you complain about it getting down-voted ?
Considering how infrequent your contributions to QA have been over the years, in my view you have no leg to stand on, let alone a soapbox.

Fortunately, neither I (nor anyone else, it seems) asked you.
It's still not too late for you to down-vote it.

Admittedly, an 'Ad' (barely), but you'll find this dear not only to those of us who grow cacti but a large selection of other CP Lounge Lizards.

Consider, as well, the possible implication if one eats a salad and then acts rashly.
This being said, Agave <=> Tequila and some interesting implications.

Hi All,
Well maybe not rival but for shear strangeness 'Can I have the floorcloth, I need to clean the ceiling?', all through saying that my brain was going 'are you sure?, well too bad you are on your own'. I all wanted to do was get some cobwebs off the ceiling in the office. Why airtex you can't use a duster.... 
|
|
|
|
|
Use a carbon fiber rod. I just did that as well and harvested a nice little ball of cobwebs. For unknown reasons the spiders seem to be great fans of my old Commodore ST.
I have lived with several Zen masters - all of them were cats.
His last invention was an evil Lasagna. It didn't kill anyone, and it actually tasted pretty good.

Commodre ST? While Sam Tramiel was booted out of Commodre went to Atari and created the ST, I think you meant Amiga, I noticed the spiders I think they get attrachted to one of the chemincals leeching out of the plastic.
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe Commodore ST stands for: Commodore Spider Thing 
|
|
|
|
|
Good point (also Atari used differnet plastic...doesn't attach spiders as much!) 
|
|
|

Indeed, the Atari plastic scares the spiders away

In fall, my house has often been bothered by an invasion of tiny little flies; I believe they are banana files. Last year there were none. I suspect that is has to do with this mosquito repellent I bought, the only one that I have found to work: Beck-olja[^] (besides, that leather bottle holder for your belt is really classy!) I keep the large refill bottle on the shelf in my hall; when I am close up, there is a slight scent of tar from it - Beck-olja is tar based. I suspect that is what has kept the flies from entering my house the last year.

I know. It's just that Tramiel brought along the guys who designed the C64, so the ST is its 16 bit successor. At the same time Commodore bought a small outfit named 'Amiga'. These guys were designing something like a game console, but Commodore wanted a 16 bit computer. However, these guys once worked for Atari and had designed the chipset for the 8 bit Ataris, making the Amiga the 16 bit successor of them.

There are many YouTube videos of Aaron Copeland's Quiet City, but I think this one (uploaded in 2010) fits the music really well - and perfectly captures where we are right now:
Copland's Quiet City - YouTube[^]
P.S. To be honest, I don't think a video is essential. The music alone does it.

I'm not very familiar with Copland, but this is nice.
Good one!

Didn't know either.
I don't hear a lot of fanfare music.
Fun fact, I was actually in a fanfare orchestra for three years.
We may have played one of his songs, can't quite remember.
Not these anyway.
