I have a border collie, so I suppose anything's possible.

And I have a house bunny that is pretty fierce, and she can smell anything that is edible or dangerous.

People forward emails to me. This is from one of them:

"HISTORY OF THE FAMOUS MIDDLE FINGER GESTURE


{random snip}

consonant cluster at the beginning has gradually changed to a labiodentals fricative F',....
"

I've been headgamacated, I've learnt a new word: "Labiodentals"...
Stripping the word into syllables I got as far as "Labio... dentals" and got really excited for the first time in years.

Blast! My neighbors foiled my plan to wait until May to first mow my lawn. Oh well, at least the $85 riding mower worked as expected today.

On a totally unrelated note, I went on a random YouTube journey after watching the bulldozer battle vid, and I ended up here (if you choose to watch the following, I'd recommend turning down the volume first):

I suppose my current avatar would make it apparent that I kind of like watching large trucks doing offroad things.

I have been using spare time at work to fill in gaps on my training online. I had these two generic courses on IT hardware and software. The one on hardware had 30 questions and I passed it the first time. It was getting near end of day and I wanted to knock down the other test before end of day. As luck would have it, two of my IT guys were back in the shop. These guys are excellent at what they do, so I felt good about this. As I read the questions aloud, they couldn't help but take interest, discussing it among the 2 of them and coming to a consensus on the answer. Did I mention how good these guys are? 20 question test, first time out, scored a 53.

I was delivering some toner to a business but a sign on the door said 'NO WANKERS'. As I turned to leave I re read the sign and it said 'NO HAWKERS', phew, mission accomplished

Konica. It's one I should have done 15 years ago. Had questions that referenced Windows 95.

Re: The random thought thread

Ever had problems with truck eating bridges? There's two out here, and here's the lesser of them:

Truck eating bridge.jpg

I got to see a tall cube van get its top ripped off there. What a mess.
The major one is two blocks over, and it is right at the very bottom of the river bluff, so due to the angle of the street it will wreck trucks even if they are shorter than the listed height on the bridge if the truck is long enough. There's automated height warning lights on the way down the bluff to that bridge now though, so it hasn't eaten any trucks lately.
