Maybe we're overthinking things here. Perhaps everything doesn't need a processor. Or Bluetooth, Hifi, Wifi, HDMI, MP3, dongles, USB, IR remote, auto-sync, or even an app.

Maybe I could start up a service to provide virtual gf's that are technologically
inclined. ...Guys sometimes ask me where they can find a tech savvy gf like me.
(If they are really cute I say "well, here I am ...if they are creepy pests I say
"I don't know, I've been looking for one for years"" LoL :-)
Just like me.
Boids of a feathuh...
(sometimes a wise-*** it has been alleged) LoL
I have to fight the urge everyday to be sarcastic...it's sometimes
really tough to hold back...unleashed I'm more Joan Rivers than
I am demure.
I mean, you RULE the motion control world: http://www.galilmc.com
I too have the Sarcasm Gene. It gets me in more trouble.
The galil I referred to is a firearm....but of course you know that.
In uniform I look like a nervous girl scout with a weapon. I don't carry it
around though, I'm classified as someone who will never see combat.
The course we take is called "Gunner 02"...nothing like the actual
troops take. My Dad begged me to send him a few pics of me in my
uniform while holding out that scary gun and making a grimace.
I refused, I don't want him dragging that out at family get togethers
till the day I die...arrrrggghj I told him they don't like even the low
level officers posing in ways that could tarnish the dignity of the force.
They called me in when I decide to get my mandatory service over with.
and asked me why I had such a big mouth. I was stunned, I had no idea
what they were talking about. They felt that I may have said sensitive things
about defense equipment and methods on some internet blogs. I just started
scratching my head and saying they must be looking at the wrong blogs
they just couldn't be mine and that I would never reveal unpublished data of
any sort. It took 3 months for them to scour all the websites, blogs, boards
...etc etc and research to make certain I was right. Finally a report was worked
up and it stated that not in a single instance was confidential information breached.
WheW! Once that was over I started posting on the web again, you may have noticed
my 3 month absence,... I never even went back to my assembly language blog at all.
The ordeal just took the wind out of my sail for that project :-(
After all that hoohaaa and a bunch of tests it was decided I would make a passable intelligence officer so
I got the lowest rank you can get and still be an officer, Segen mishne סג"מ
Your full of surprise and you seem to lead an interesting live keep up the good work
When you have a flair for sarcasm and a ready wit you are packing
dynamite. The stuff just pops into your head and you know that the whole
room will erupt with laughter if you would just spit it out. It's like trying
to keep away from drugs if you are an addict.
I can't handle hurting someones feeling and with sarcasm, no matter
how hilarious it is, feelings will be hurt. :-(
I once was about 10 years old back in the southwest US and was with
my Dad checking out at a car repair place. This place was called the Pep
Boys and had a mascot sign with three guys on it named Manny Moe and Jack.
The guy in front of us in line felt he was being cheated and treated unfairly and
was arguing back and forth with the clerk. finally something sarcastic popped
into my little head and I just blurted it out and grinned real big. I said "Manny, Moe
and Gyp" Everyone in line started laughing, I though one guy was going to fall
on the floor LoL You had to just be there...it was scream out loud funny in person.
I was somewhere else with an uncle and he asked the plumbing guy if the boy he
was sending out to replace the shower did good work. He looked at the wall where
an old sign said "Service is Our Middle Name" I instantly quipped "is your first name
Shoddy"? (shoddy is not the word I used..I cleaned it up for the forum) every man
in that place broke down laughing..it was a riot.
