Hope he has one of those leather cases on it. No tellin' what might drip into it if it were unprotected. Especially, considering who he's been keepin' company with of late.

And remember: This is a guy who can't figure out how to microwave popcorn. No doubt in my mind someone else programmed the remote...

Did you see the episode where Ozzy tried to change channels (I think). He was almost really pounding on the touch screen (not pronto), and shouting for his wife really loud. They even showed an interview with the guy who installed the system, and it was quite amusing to here him say how good, and easy to use the system was. I felt so sorry for mr. Osbourne, but at the same time I thought it was very funny because; here you have "the master of evil", "the prince of darkness", and he can't even operate his own TV.

This incident, and the one where he sits down on a chair, and then falls backwards with the chair, is two of the most funny moments in TV's history (in my mind anyways).

A few of my favorite Shakespere quotes, rather jumbled together.
.


Something is rotten in the state of Denmark. What brazen faced varlet art thou? A foul and pestilent congregation of vapours. What a piece of work is this man!

Four of his five wits went halting off, and now is the whole man governed with one. This is the foul fiend Flibbertigibbet. You whoreson cullionly barbermonger. Thou art a traitor, false to thy gods! It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing. An admirable evasion of whore master man, to lay his goatish disposition to the charge of a star.

Pray you, stand farther from me. From the extremest upward of thy head to the descent and dust beneath thy foot, a most toad spotted traitor art thou!

How to microwave popcorn, Prince of Darkness style:

1) Stick the bag in the microwave.
2) Stare at the microwave for a while.
3) Take the bag out, read the directions, stick it back in.
4) Push a random (as far as I could tell) button.
5) Stare at the microwave for a while.
6) Push another button.
7) Stare at the microwave for a while.
8) Curse the microwave for a while.
9) Stare at the microwave for while.
10) Walk away, call for wife, continue cursing...

Where's that microwaveable cat with discrete power/input codes, Mr K? Maybe it could take a crap on the Osbournes floor just like their dog.

My genetics experiments are'nt developing as I had planned. My Ferret hasn't given birth yet to the litter that contains the microwaveable cat, so I guess you could say that the microwaveable cat is still in the oven . . . ain't that ironic?

Maybe someone here could help me with another quandry . . . my time reversal experiments are going slower than I expected, and I just can't figure it out. Any body got any ideas? Personally I think it has something to do with this damned black cat I keep seeing walking across my doorway.

What make of rubber band are you using for the time line?

Acme's double strength extra long stretch is very good but their manufacturing process/quality assurance does leave a lot to be desired.

Apparently it's not uncommon for a simple 4" diameter band to extend far beyond what one would expect; reports of several miles having been noted. Imagine then the ramifications if one were to extrapolate these results to the size of band required in time line experimentation. It might be that you've not allowed enough time for critical peak stretch to be achieved.

Hope this has been of some help.

PS
I have heared, albeit from a not entirely reliable source, that a "judicious" application of Marmite might help - though how and in what quantity I do not know.

Actually, I have just started using a new device called an Air Muscle. My problem to date has been keeping a sufficient supply of compressed gases on hand for extended trips. I think I might have come up with a solution though . . .

If I can convince either JJP or Gregorious to accompany me on my next trial run, I think I may have enough. And then I thought . . . if I were to feed them a large bowl of Texas Chili prior to the trip, I might even have enough compressed gas as a byproduct to extend the trip even further.

Which begs the question . . . If I were to add a dollup of Marmite to this Chili (barring inedibility), mighn't the yeast provide an even more forceful expellation of gases? But now I wonder if I'm going to have a problem with toxic waste storage. I fear that if GreenPeace gets wind of this, I may be accused of "Not being Green", I feel confident that merely showing them John & Greg's pallor, might ease their concerns. . . hmmmmmmmmm

I still think it may have something to do with that damned black cat . . . heeere kitty, kitty, kitty, kitty!

I knew of a guy who microwaved a cat.
But he got his just desserts, the microwave was part of $2000 radar range.
That he had to junk. And this was in the
early 80's.
