  1. I'm as sane as they come. Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.
  2. Got bored, went back, put down $200... Left with just under $900.
  3. Employers can look up previous employers and ask them questions. There's nothing wrong with looking up his record. Generally, you're correct, but this is an appropriate application.

  4. Put $300 on the table today. Walked away with $3000.
  5. nah... was a long flight and I felt like goin' for a marathon. Had to use both cuz the first one went numb. Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.
  6. That we know of It has been theorized that it may have occurred before but not by the hand of man. Read dude read, you will rise to the head of the class. http://www.ocrwm.doe.gov/factsheets/doeymp0010.shtml The informtion theorized includes assumptions of billions of years. Myself being of a religious nature, I don't believe in all that mumbo jumbo. However, we know the sun conducts in fission on a constant basis. Hence, it puts off the light and heat we are all well aware of. Some people refrain from beating a dead horse.

  7. keep your eyes on e-bay and the classifieds here on dz.com. Wouldn't surprise me if it popped up there if it's stolen. Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.
  8. Loses it's glassy coloration pretty quickly. It oxidizes kinda like silver does, but faster. There's quite a bit still out there, but you gotta look pretty hard to find it. Most pieces are smaller than a marble. It being a national landmark, it's illegal to take the trinitite. Again, not much at the site, but it's kinda cool to be able to say I've walked where the first nuke ever went off. Some people refrain from beating a dead horse.

  9. I saw stuff related to nukes at the museum and the trinity test site and spoke with an individual who was at an accident in the 60's. I never specified the nature of my training.

  10. Well, been here a week and a half. Last Saturday, I got a chance to go see the Trinity Test Site. Not much there, but then again, didn't expect to see much at the site of a nuclear detonation. I did get to see and hold some trinitite, and so far, I haven't grown any extra appendages and I don't yet glow in the dark. Haven't gone out much, but I did hit up a restaurant called Tucanos. GREAT FOOD! It's an expensive meal, but it's all you can eat and well worth the money spent. At the course I'm going to, they have a complete museum containing every nuclear weapon we've ever had in our inventory. Pretty amazing how far we've come in our technology. Last week, we had a older gentleman come speak to us that was at the 1968 Thule, Greenland accident. Lots of photos and lots of knowledge. Tomorrow, we should get a chance to talk to a gentleman who was involved in the Manhattan Project. Some people refrain from beating a dead horse.

  15. You're in Albequerque? Not broke. Didn't play with anything I wasn't willing to lose. I make no promises on the presence or absence of my britches.

  16. You should listen. I did. I went to the casino here in Albuquerque, NM. Bet lots at the right time, bet small at the right time and it won me over $2000. Unfortunately, I didn't listen when it told me to leave. Now I'm down $400. SONOFABITCH!!!! Just thought I'd throw out that friendly reminder. Some people refrain from beating a dead horse.

  18. I'm driving down from NC. What time's your flight come in? I can swing by on the way. 2 rules... no bitchin' about my drivin' like an ol' lady and no bitchin' about my music selection. I'm leavin' Sunday though, since I have to be back in time to be at work on Monday morning. Gotta get to the rifle range My flight will be getting in around 4:30 or so. I'm not one to complain about other's driving, its usually the other way around. sounds good. welcome aboard the Gonzo Express.
  19. Hated that movie, as is the common consensus among the other EOD techs I've asked about it. HOWEVER, we're the individuals who do that job, making us the largest critics of the movie. Also, we're not the target audience for the moviemakers. All that being said, the inaccuracies do have benefit. They don't give away our tactics and standard procedures. The wheel fell off the wagon! SHIT, I'm goin' down in the suit. We can't drag a wagon with only 3 wheels. We might damage it. Or even better... The wheel fell off the wagon! Shit... lets go home. Can't work without a robot wagon. We'll come back for it later. Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.
  20. And I think you fixed that for another year or so! I can't just let people go around thinking I have class or something. Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.
  21. Billyvance Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.
  22. I got a letter from him last week. I don't know why the hell he can't email....the postage on those stone tablets is outrageous, and my cuniform translation skills are rusty at best. Don Maybe he needs one of these.... Use to listen to "Rock & Roll" long before Buddy Holly came along! So you're sayin' Rolling Rock beer is a copyright infringement?

  23. I have one that says that... Personally, I think it should read... 'If you can see what I'm doing, you're probably too close. If you hear me yell a profanity, you're definately too close."

  24. I've posted a thread regarding this at some point... I'm amazed my name hasn't popped up yet. Maybe that means I've regained my dignity and lost my not-so-classy reputation? Some people refrain from beating a dead horse. Personally, I find a myriad of entertainment value when beating it until it becomes a horse-smoothie.
  25. OOPS! Which one's red? I'm colorblind. What's a bomb? Do I HAVE to blow it up? You mean you're NOT supposed to eat the C-4? I'd rather be doing paperwork. In Billy's case... well... you know... On the opposite side of things, you might hear... Q: Where's Bob? A: Over there, over there, and up there... I love the smell of time fuze in the morning. That was better than sex! What? The door's stuck? I CAN FIX IT! That little guy? I wouldn't worry about that little guy. Pick it up... it's safe to carry. Just don't drop it. I told you not to drop it! Don't touch that one. That's a no mover. Hey! What's this thing? (Spoken gently) Remember that thing I told you not to touch? That's that thing I was talking about. Very carefully and gently, set that back down on the ground the way you're holding it and step away from it. Some people refrain from beating a dead horse.
