Hey, by trade I'm a welder. It pays very, very well. Just not enough to get blown up over.

I imagine you have to paid pretty well for that.

My uncle almost got it today when his fireworks backfired in the tube.

Well, I guess it's time for Bunny to stop sleeping on this thread, and go do it for real. Good night, John Boy!

Ouch! You gotta watch out for those explosives. Oh I forgot, in high school I made a type of plastic explosive that detonates when severely compressed. I made about 100 bb sized pellets and scattered them in the hall and waited for the football team to come in for tutorials. They stuck to the cleats and sounded like M1000 firecrackers going off! Unfortunately someone ratted me out.

And John Boy says "good night Bunny", as does J.D. . Good night all.

Wow! What a night. Y'all did this thread proud.

 

[Bunnylady]

Yeah, there was some serious yackiness going down. 6th most active thread on BYC yesterday!

But what are we going to do with JD? He's got teenaged cashiers coming over their counters after him, and even older ladies can't keep their hands off the merchandise. He needs more than a garbage can, he needs an armed escort!

I can think of one thing that might help. At a couple of the grocery stores near my house, they have automated check-outs where you can do the whole transaction yourself. They annoy me - I guess I'm not fast enough, the machine is always telling me to "scan the next item" or to "please put the item in the bag." Though come to think of it, the voices on those things are female. With JD's luck, even the machines would flirt with him!

 

[sourland]

JD's situation is not all bad. Teenaged girls and intimidating older ladies aside there must be some more interesting ladies hitting on him. Sourland never reached that stage.

Sourland does not do 'automated checkout'. Trust me when I tell you that technology hates me. Even the register at TSC goes berserk when I try to check out - Happened twice on Purina rebate checks and once just spontaneously. The cashiers now start wailing as I approach.

Yesterday was indeed a good day for the hi-jack. If we can maintain some semblance to that level of activity, 12,000 posts are a given - is a given?

JD doesn't seem to attract the appropriate women... What are we going to do with him?

 

[Tanichca]

Hey, Uncle Sour! Thanks for the birthday present!

There's another broody out there today, so I'm blam-er thanking, you!

 

[Bunnylady]

Happy for-real birthday, Tani! I guess this makes you younger than Sour after all!
