poast78 Buys Wind Up Clock!

[44mayg]

I heard you bought a wind up clock, set the alarm and put it by your bed, but
kept being late to band practice after that. They said you forgot to wind it. Is this true, or just a nasty rumor someone started? Did you get an analog wind up clock or a digital wind up clock?

HEH! HEH!

[poast78]

It was a hybrid, digilog clock.  Yeah, I kept forgetting to wind it, so I wrote a reminder for myself and placed it right next to the clock.  Then, I kept forgetting to read the reminder!  So, I wrote a reminder to remind me read the reminder to wind the digilog clock, but guess what...
But yeah, it's pretty much true... :-[
I'm guessing that Jeremy told you all about this? ;-)

[44mayg]

Yeah, right, Jeremie's spoken. Unleashed him last week. He roared, kinda like a lion.

Do you have to wind up the batteries, or is it a solar powered auto winder?

Maybe you should sell that clock to Honda. Bet they'd retake the ad just so that clock can be the one to start the whole thing all over again. Maybe they'll even use ramps made by nature, you know, like wood or something.

Maroons should be marooned on the moon.

The batteries wind by a hydro-powered gear, lever, and pulley system.  I'm a few miles from the ocean, so they had to build a special tunnel to carry the large mechanical structure.  After all, how else would I get electricity to the battery? The thing makes a lot of noise, too...
If they were to retake the ad though, I'd use a bowling ball.

Maybe they'll even use ramps made by nature, you know, like wood or something.

I'd use natural plastic; you know, the stuff you find in Washington State parks and forests.  What, do you think they manufacture that stuff?  You can't make plastic that pure.

[44mayg]

OK, I was gonna call you crazy, kinda like the analog clock thing. When you talk about plastic being natural and growing wild, my first thought was..... oh no, heeeere we go again.

But I won't do that. Nope, No can do. Someone might come along with a key and lock things up. Then we'd never get to finish OUR conversation.

Anyway, I've been thinking about what you said, and it seems to make sense. No, not the analog clock. But the plastic growing natural. I have to concede cuz I've seen this myself. Heck, the stuff is all over the place.

Some people and business's tend to leave it in it's natural state, while other companies change it into other products. But I like the natural stuff better myself. More color and very durable. I think everyone has seen examples of this in homes, stores and other places.

Heck, I think we have some too..... somewhere anyway. But most people like to leave it right out in the open. I tell yuh, it does last a long time. Put it on the coffee table in it's natural form of flowers, maybe fruit or something like that. Dang stuff lasts for years. Centuries!

Stores usually have it all over the place too. Sometimes the flowers, sometimes the fruit, sometimes trees, and even sometimes all three forms.

So, you got me on that one. OK?  Plastic is natural and grows in the forest.

But I still don't think Honda will buy your clock and re-shoot  the whole Dang Cog ad.

Haven't found where bowling balls grow yet.

[poast78]

Someone might come along with a key and lock things up. Then we'd never get to finish OUR conversation.

Nah, nobody would do that.  That's just crazy talk.
I remember when I was a kid and used to play in the plastic fields.  I'd come home with cuts and gouges, but it'd be worth it.  I'd do that just before a date, so I'd smell of fresh milk cartons. Oh yeah, you can guess how those nights ended...
I don't need no stinking Honda money; I'll pay for my own dang cog ad, and it will include nothing but clocks and bowling balls (which, incidentally, grow in Cleveland).  I'll count down the time it takes for ten new Accords to be smashed to dust with fifty bowling balls.  Maybe sixty, if on the highway. :o

[44mayg]

Crazy? You calling me crazy?

Crazy talk? Don't dare try to have a serious debate with me about crazy or you'll find someone WILL jump in and lock our stuff up. Or lock us up. Locked up.

Due to the mass of neurons, or neurotics, in my head, it's PHYSIC(s)ally impossible for me to be crazy. So they say, anyway.

Cept for the time I cut the top off a milk carton, stuck it on my head, and ran clean around Indianapolis Raceway naked and carrying a bowling ball in each hand.

HEH! HEH! I actually qualified fourth position on the pole :-) They gave me a new Honda, with an analog clock no less!

Plastic? It's not just for breakfast any more!

Be sure to try Mr. Clean laxative......., cleans like a white tornado.

[poast78]

Humbug...  They don't have the guts to lock up one of our threads.  Nosiree.  They're just not cool enough.  And when I say "they", I mean "them".  You know, "those".  They're watching me all the time.  They're watching you too, mayg. :-\\

Oh man, I think they're following me, too...  I keep hearing thi...  What was that!?

oh my god oh my god oh my god oh my...

[44mayg]

HEH, they (them) (those) can watch me all they want. Maybe they (them) (those) can learn something.

Wonder what happens in DC when the SUN comes up. Probably gets chased away by the anti-gunners. Democrats. Jerks. Commies. Socialists. People Control. Rulers. Sadaam.

Physics are, it'll probably happen, locked up, you know. "My understanding of physics is not to be questioned by you." OK? :-)
