Well, it was MESSENGER’s ten year anniversary yesterday. The world is not a safer place, no lives have been saved, and milk still goes sour after a spell. Kittens still die, killers still live, and Obama is still president.
But MESSENGER is one thing that seems to be working mostly as it was intended, so I am content, at least until Ebola or the wave of the world’s illegal immigrants swamp us under.
Two weeks ago as the wife and kids were still in the PNW visiting family, I was shopping for myself and muttering. Muttering is something I forgot that single people do (or at least I did) and it came back surprisingly quickly.
Mid-mutter I saw a display sign that said simply:
Food Alternatives
Wow. If I had checked it out I could have found an alternative to food, but I had a house to go clean and a MineCraft mine that needed digging.
****
According to Thomas Sowell, thinking may now be obsolete. I think he is right.
RE: food alternative …
The Dems need never starve. There’s always “crow”. Unfortunately, they seem to never quite get around to eating it.
Now that doctors are dropping those who are on Obummercare because it is so cheap they can’t make what they think it is all worth, I think a crow pie is being baked. And south of the border and slightly north of it, the porosity and effects are purely owned by Obama. If Reservoir-Tip can actually pass that off on Bush I will bow down.
If this election doesn’t turn senate and house around we deserve what we get, even those of us who do not.
Agree with the above comments (I’m totally stealing “Reservoir-Tip”). The geek-ish part of me, however, keeps gawking at the Messenger site, I’d totally forgotten about that little guy!!!!
Yes, Reservoir Tip kind of sums up his thin-skinned nature, doesn’t it?
The guy is nothing short of a malignant narcissist.
Isn’t there a bit of LK DNA in the Messenger genetic heritage? Methinks you should be pleased at your bright and well-behaved offspring!
Oh, I am pleased, yes. I wish the world could be better for it in a more tangible way, though.
completely unrelated to anything but I thought you would like it.
I don’t smoke but after watching that I could use a cigarette and a shower. Thanks hilljohnny… That is amazing. I shudder to think of the wear and tear on the bearings in that milling machine.
Yeah – look at the wobble on the chuck! I also shudder to think what will happen if the thing jams, or breaks a bit.
