| Endorsed   Joined: Jul 2005 From: Nampa, ID I Ride: '06 Ducati ST3s, 07 Triumph 675 | Thanks Beans. Much appreciated. Mrs. rtc_id was told not to get me anything. The rugrats got me a watch. My old man got me the gift of meat (Omaha Steaks). Hashbrown Boy hasn't come through yet but his sister-in-law told me at dinner tonight that he called asking her what gear I've been asking for lately. Looks like I'd better TM him and let him know what I want before he gets me a strap-on or gallon jug of Brut or something similarly inappropriate. Later, Rob. |

I've also found that this stuff does make the local strippers (umm, sorry, Exotic Dancers - capitalization used out of respect that the artform deserves) think I'm quite the big wheel. The regulars typically smell of diesel, anti-sieze and sweat (human, I think). Then again, our gals take coins so little things like being all clean goes a long way. It's not as flammable as the scent would indicate. Ran out of lighter fluid so tried the Brut on the old Kingsford. F'd up pretty bad because I couldn't get the stuff to light. My Weber was then suddenly engulfed by a black cloud of deer flies and mosquitoes the size of sparrows. Brut must catalyze charcoal into some kind irresistable insectoid pheromone. Out came the handheld bug zapper and we went to town. Being a mad scientist, I knew a wimpy 9V battery wouldn't be enough, so I grabbed one of my handy dandy 24V - 2A bench top power supplies I normally use to blow up integrated circuits (oddly enough, that's what I do for a living - no shi*t) and hooked it up to the capacitive tennis racquet. Holy crap, that did the trick. Bugs were blowing up like little fireballs. As luck would have it, the flaming diptera (the insect ordera in which mosquitos and flies belong) that landed on the charcoal did wind up lighting my pile. The brisket kind of tasted funny though. So yeah, the gallon jug of Brut is coming in handy. Not as handy as that sophomore biology class I took at Medical Lake High School in 1985 based on the way this posting has turned out. Who'd have thunk I'd remember certain insect orders 20 years later. Wazzu Mille took the class too but I don't think he paid attention. By the way, here's something to throw out at your next nerd party - bees and wasps belong to the order hymenoptera. They get their name because their wings look like a membrane. A hymen is a membrane. Scientists are little jokey jokesters, aren't they? More info than you asked for, but you asked for it... Later, Rob. | |
