Back up rigs

Saw this ad, "Flex 1500 - Virtually NEW condition. I purchased this on August 1, 2011 direct
from FlexRadio to use as a back-up rig."

Back-up rig? What is the deal here, hams cannot be without a rig for a few days?
A rig is not like a spare tire, toilet paper, back up for what?
Do hams have back up TVS, freezers, computers, cell phones, wives?

There is nothing wrong with redundancy in ones hobbies. Fishermen have spare poles, Golfers have spare clubs, Photographers have spare cameras and hams have spare radios.

Based on the videos I've seen of yours, which I like BTW, I would hazard to guess that you have more than one radio. Am I correct?

Truth be known, there are times I could use a back-up wife...one with lots of money to buy me more back-up radios, but for now I'll just have to keep my old one operating as best I can, with lots of super glue and duct tape...

Yes I have a Flex 5000 for current technology, a KX3 for QRP on my deck and the beach and a DX-40 for the memories. But I have no need to have a backup in case of failure, each one serves a different purpose.

[NQ6U]

I have several backup rigs, but mostly just because I like radios and find it enjoyable to collect them. If you don't like radios, why bother being a ham?

[K7SGJ]

Real hams have backup radios.

[W3WN]

Well Burt, everyone can't be perfect like you. Some of us just have to muddle along.

"Back up rig" may not mean the same thing to everyone. For example, strictly speaking, my Corsair II is my "backup" rig these days, even though I still use it. I consider it the second station & in the winter the dedicated 160 station.

[XE1/N5AL]

I prefer to think of my half-wave dipole as a quarter-wave monopole and its backup. :)

Thanks for the reminder, though. I'm off to check the backup TP supply.

This is my reasoning as well...

Burt, say for example your Flex 5000 crashes (heaven forbid) in mid QSO with an extremely rare DX entity - like North Korea. Would you not like having a spare piece of equipment to fall back on and complete that once in a lifetime contact?

[K7SGJ]

Nah, he's got a life.

[XE1/N5AL]

I'm off to check the backup TP supply.At my place, each bathroom has two TP dispensers (by the builder's design, not mine). The backup comes in handy 'cuz you don't have to search around the house, pants still around the ankles, with a job half-finished!

I've found that it really pays to look before you squat.

As for hobbies... It is what it is. Got a few rigs here, but never considered it to be a "backup thing." The camera stuff appears to be breeding, however.

[W8XLR]

Nah, he's got a life.

So do I. I'm self employed with 30 years experience in HVAC, but I don't ever go to a job with just one screw driver... I have a large van PACKED with everything I could possibly need to perform ANY task. The same rationale applies to my love of wireless...

I tried that with the main wife. She did not like it when I broke out the duct tape out and hit me really hard...

But, I really should know better than to apply duct tape to women. My first experience with that resulted in the birth of my twin sons 9 months later... :twisted:

Once again K1OIK demonstrates both his superiority over us mere mortals and his inability to grasp a point.

Look, Burt, this ham radio thing? It's just a hobby, see, something that is supposed to provide you some pleasure. Different people pursue this in different ways and just because someone's way is not the same as your way doesn't mean it's wrong.

[KJ3N]

That's because he's got his hands full trying to grasp his head to pull it out of his ass. :roll:

Where did I say it was wrong? Among the general population I am very average. In ham radio it is the one area where anyone with average social skills can be above average
By the way has Labor Day passed?

SKYPE is not radio, and whose to say you could not have a 90 min QSO via wireless with a North Korean if one is ever allowed to operate, without a gun to his/her head? Im an optimist. I belive this may soon happen, as all oppressive communist regimes eventually are discarded to the ash heap of history. I for one would like to have many radio contact options at hand to welcome that newly free person to the human race.

BTW, congratulations to your lovely daughter, and for your other outstanding work with young people.

I measure my backups in the dozens, and in metric tons.

But then again I spend more time modifying/repairing/restoring equipment than I do actually getting on the air, so an accumulation is to be expected.

My original post questioned the NEED for a backup rig as if it were critical to one's life. Having many rigs for a variety, for rebuilding, for experimentation, for modifying/repairing/restoring I do not question. Ham radio is a hobby. If your only need for an extra rig is in case the first one fails, it points to a desperation, that you have nothing else in your life to relish that you need a backup rig.
The several post about toilet paper is a critical need. Run out of that and you will need a hand?

I have back up computers and I have had to use them. However, both my wife and I do NEED computers as we use them for our work. We both have a laptop and a netbook. The netbooks serve dual purposes. A: as a portable for taking to lectures and conversation classes. B: As a backup because all of our files and lectures are saved on our computers, students names, numbers, addresses, our scheduled, etc. Now, I know that is not why you asked and I do understand the difference. One is something needed for work whereas the other is something for a hobby that you can live without for a day.

PS: We keep spare toilet paper too. Never want to run out of that, ew.

As for a backup rig, I have a rig that I call a backup but you may not refer to it as the same thing. Sure, I can use it if I decide to sell off all of my gear and put together a new station (which I have done). In fact I have done this and taken a few months to find what I have wanted since I have at times used classic or vintage setups. Items I can not pick up everyday of the week. It is also kept for other reasons. For example: A friend or family member gets their ticket and wants a rig to use to get a feel for the bands before committing to buying their own. I lend it to fellow hams that go on camping trips, hunting trips, etc.

Anyway, that is why I keep spares of some things.

Of course. On your average day ham radio is not a necessity, any more than it is a necessity for me on any given day to fly a radio controlled copter or play the violin. On the other hand the need for a "backup" or a "second radio/instrument/ etc." can arise. Say in the event of an emergency where traditional communications fail and ham radio provides a vital link to cal for assistance or to coordinate things and one radio conks out. A second or "backup" radio can be pressed into service. Or, say my main violin is in the shop for repairs and adjustments and I have a concert. Having a second instrument (backup) can save the day.

On a typical day is ham radio on a par with hospital life support systems which must have backup generators, backup batteries, backup systems ? Generally no. But most hams have more than 1 radio and will use one while the other is being fixed. Take my example. If my Viking 2 goes down and I still want to get on the air I can fire up the Valiant. Or vice versa.

[KB3LAZ]

I forgot to mention that for me AR is really a winter hobby when I can not get outside. I am not too active in the Spring or fall months as I love that time of year and I have always had a lot of overtime during the Summer months. I would not call it a necessity but in the winter I really have little else to do. I do not like driving in the snow so aside from work I do not go many places during that time.

2 TP dispensers .... now thats what I call real backup! :agree:

I don't have 2 TP dispensers, but I DO have 2 rolls of TP in the restroom just in case one gets used up. Can't be without that INDESPENSIBLE material!!! For that would be DISASTORUS if we were to RUN OUT!! (NO, we don't have an corn cobs!)

[wa6mhz]

I also have many many backup radios, for DXing is TOO IMPORTANT to go at it without. In fact, I have 2 rigs in the station with a coax switch, so that if one has a failure, I can immediately go to the Secondary radio. Then, I have a Kenwood TS-450S on standby should either of the 2 go down. And, I have a Heathkit SB-200 in case the Drake L7 ever fails. Can't have a situation where I might miss a call in a Pileup. There are multiple antennas and backups in that area too. I believe in being WELL PREPARED for the worst,and happy if the worst doesn't happen. Even if the power went out, I can run the station off a backup battery (but not the Kilowatt). Or if there was a TRAUMATIC Failure of everything, I can run a coax out to the Town Car and work the DX from the Icom 706 in there.

DX is TOO IMPORTANT to chance any failures!!! NOTHING is more important than DX (though Burt will greatly dispute that)

Running the FT 2000-D spare radio's FT 847 Collings filters, FT 100 Collins AM filter added.
Holliday use, cleaning out the FT 2000-D and using the FT 100 daily to listen to 2/70 of as FM radio.
Since i'm home a lot the radio's are on from the early morning till i go to bed.
No doubt compensating many years i worked all day and i had no time for the hobby, or now just filling spare time, getting my mind of things.

[W3WN]

Ever been in the middle of a nice, long ragchew & had your finals blow on you?

I had that happen once. It was a real disappointment; I was talking with another IT type down in VK, and was giving him some suggestions on an old Windows NT installation he was working on (yeah, that is dating myself a little). The room's circuit breaker popped unexpectedly; I went over & reset it, and then 2 minutes later, the finals in the T4XC gave out suddenly; I guess they decided to save the fuse in the transmitter.

At the time, I had no "backup" or alternate rig handy. The Hallicrafters station hadn't been set back up yet. So that, as they say, was that.

Was it a life changing moment? Did it change the course of world history? Of course not. It was merely frustrating and annoying.

So... someone bought a Flex as their "backup" rig. And are now selling it, probably because they have something else they prefer. Big deal. I don't see why they ought to be criticized for this, or be insulted by having their lifestyle (of which nothing is actually known) trashed, simply because of a choice of phrase.

Why, next thing you know, we'll start questioning the motives of people who feel the need to go out of their way to criticize the choices of operating styles, methods, or equipment choices of other amateurs. And we wouldn't want to do that, now, would we?

I'm curious why you would question anything that one does in this or any hobby. Once again, you've found a reason to attack this hobby and the ones in it. Why does a race car driver have a back up car? Why do radio control ops have back up planes, boats or cars? Why do I have a back up cordless drill/driver. Why do fishermen have spare rods and reels? Why do hams have backup radios? Who gives a shit. It's their hobby, their money, and their decision to make, not yours. It often seems that being a ham radio operator isn't your hobby, but finding fault of those in it, and how they chose to participate is.

Although there are times you post something positive about this hobby, more often then not, it is a negative posture you assume. Why not get out of radio, and find a new hobby? Maybe you could try skydiving. It really is a lot of fun, but you'll need a backup chute.

I was called in to cover a teacher at school ( I am a sub) who was taken by ambulance while I was working Vietnam, of course I told the school nothing is more important than DX
They prevailed to come anyway, I brought my SPARE lesson plans. When I get there a little girl asked why I was a little late, so I said I needed a rare QSL card, I showed her one.
She said, "screw the QSL card" teach me.
After class she gave me hug.

Seriously suggesting that he puts DX'ing over the welfare of a child -- which you inferred (incorrectly) but which he did not actually say -- is insulting. Now, clearly he's wise enough to not say anything directly to you and further enflame the situation. But I do consider him a friend, and I don't care for seeing my friends insulted.

IMHO you owe him an apology.

Not to worry. I know better. Still, it had to be said.

He could very easily have spent the weekend wandering the flea market and leaving little room in the Town Car for his wife to ride back. He didn't.

So I know how absurd this is. And I know the Burt owes Pat an apology. A public apology, in fact. Not that I expect it.

Pat seems to have a very thick skin...one that came with experience. He takes alot of grief here in cyberspace. If I had a FRACTION of his bargaining and technical skills, my QTH would be packed tight with radio "stuff" too...well, maybe not so many "twoer's"(useless).

The point is, Burt (whom I do respect) likes to stir the pot playing on age old stereotypes of amateur radio operators. I don't think it's malicious, but is his way of having internet fun by being provocative. He makes us look ourselves in the mirror - and laugh! Some deal with this better than others, depending on personality type. By responding to his commentary in defensive/counter attack mode, we only prove his point.

Fact is, sometimes when I see the mirror in the morning I think "WTF, are you shitting me?....REALLY? Then I go about my day and excel....

A phone is a need, a ham radio is a want

[k1oik]

I believe you are pretty spot on about Pat. However, I can't buy in to the rest of it. I think the other station is just an angry, lonely, miserable, old troll. That's what I get from the tone of the majority of his posts.

I am not an angry, lonely, miserable, person.
Nothing in ham radio gets me angry.

[k1oik]

So, are you saying you're a pushy asshole?

I can be

[W3WN]

Isn't Pat the same person who was at Dayton whose wife and kid was totally bored and wanted him to leave and he paid them no attention?
I do make mistakes and I do apologize but I do not apologize to ANYONE that says a truth that is reprehensible then claims it was in jest
Many a truth is said in jest.
I once had an electronics student in high school that called me the biggest asshole in the world. I told her to listen to ham radio, she apologized, in part, after listening she gave a partial apology saying the hams are worse but you are still an asshole. Ten years later Deanna apologized fully saying pushing her was what she needed(1) No. For one thing, WA6BEN wasn't at Dayton. For another, his wife (whom I met) was not 'totally bored.' Pat's hyperbole on his many tall tales told over yonder not withstanding.
(2) He didn't say anything reprehensible, nor did he claim it was in jest.

Either you need to work on your reading skills, or you are deliberately being provocative. Or both. Whatever. I've said my piece.

Saw this ad, "Flex 1500 - Virtually NEW condition. I purchased this on August 1, 2011 direct
from FlexRadio to use as a back-up rig."

Back-up rig? What is the deal here, hams cannot be without a rig for a few days?
A rig is not like a spare tire, toilet paper, back up for what?
Do hams have back up TVS, freezers, computers, cell phones, wives?

I have a few TV's in my house, that I can shuffle around should the need arise. Also, a deep freezer, in addition to the freezer in the kitchen. I also have about 7 computers in the house, and yes, even a backup cell phone (Or two).

Backup wives? Not I, but I'm sure some do.

I also have a backup screwdriver, and other tools in my house.

I heard a truck make beeping noises when it backed up.

The Corsair, serious inquiries were non existent. Tire kickers abound.
I'm seriously looking for a loaded Corsair II if anyone with such a rig happens across this post.

It'll serve as a backup to my (forthcoming) Omni V, which is itself a backup to an Omni VI/Opt 3. The Paragon IIs in the shack are backups for the FT-980s...or is that the other way around?

Speaking of Yaesus: The '980 can accommodate a transverter such as the FTV-901r after it has been appropriately modified for use with the radio. Given two of those in the shack, it now looks as if the four FT-726Rs are becoming somewhat redundant...even though one of each "pair" is set up with HF/2/432/Sat module/CW filter and the other with 6/2/440/tone encoder. Hmmm...may have to convert a 'backup' 432 module to 222 and a 'backup' 6M module to 4M. RX only, of course.

I was called in to cover a teacher at school ( I am a sub) who was taken by ambulance while I was working Vietnam, of course I told the school nothing is more important than DX
They prevailed to come anyway, I brought my SPARE lesson plans. When I get there a little girl asked why I was a little late, so I said I needed a rare QSL card, I showed her one.
She said, "screw the QSL card" teach me.
After class she gave me hug.
The italized comments are true

Note: Children are TOO IMPORTANT to chance any failures!!! NOTHING is more important than a child (though wa6mhz will greatly dispute that)

Speaking of BACKUPS, my Kenwood TS-450S and TS-830S are going to get some SERIOUS USE next Weekend in the California QSO Party. The nice thing about this is no radios have to be DISTURBED in the main radio shack. If anything happens to the Kenwoods, I am NOT off the air, which would be a TRADGEDY!! TOO much serious DX to be worked. Coming up this week is the ZD9 DXpedition which will be an ALL TIME NEW ONE for me if I can score it. So that is IMPERATIVE that I get in the log on that one!!!!! My whole life DEPENDS on it!!! And the Kenwoods are nice enough radios that the operation will go nicely with them and my BACKUP Heathkit SB-230 Kilowatt, which is a BACKUP to the BACKUP SB-200!

I should have bought that Swan 1200X I saw at Chino Hills for $125 a few weeks back, so I would have a BACKUP BACKUP BACKUP!

Please do not use a word no decent woman would ever do with you.

To be thought an ass by you, disliked by you is a compliment.
Examine the following, see if the grammar sounds like me. I have many more similar

Teacher Recognition
There are many teachers that have made a major impact on my life, and how I think. My 8th grade math teacher used to play games with us so we could remember the math formulas better. I couldn’t stand math until 8th grade. There also was my 7th grade social studies teacher how only assigned essays for work. I couldn’t stand it then but now its so easy to write a paper. But there’s only one teacher that stands out above the rest. This teacher of mine helped me be more aggressive in getting what I wanted; he taught me to stand up for myself in many situations weather it was against a student or even a teacher; and he wanted me to never let anything get in my way of reaching my goals. He was a very strict teacher and wanted things done before they were due. He rarely thought of me as a student some one lower then himself because he always treated me like an adult, someone who could do things on their own. Another thing that made him a great teacher was that he was always straight forward with everything. If something was good he’d tell you and if it was crap then he’d let you know and make sure you still get it done before the deadline. He was also one of the few teachers that actually listens to his students and took action to what they had to say. Recently I asked to have some allotted time out of shop to so the Horticulture Banquet video and Promotional video for the school. He has done everything he could to get me that time that I needed because he knew that I would use the time wisely. Sometimes we would argue on what music to use in the video or what footage to use but he never said I’m the teacher it’s my way or a zero for the day. We would always come to a compromise.
If you don’t already know, I would like to thank you, Mr. Fisher, for taking the time to help me recognize my talent and improve upon it. As well as supporting me on all my videos and any pieces of work that I’ve done, and for speaking up for me when no one would listen. You always left me alone when I needed to be and respected me more the most teachers. Even though everyone else can’t get along with you and says you made high school hell for them, I have to say thank you for making my high school experience sane and on common ground. Even though some of the shots you made me get were annoying, and the music you thought would work, was completely wrong, and even the bickering and hinting to me you wanting cookies, got kind of long, but you still made it a fun experience and something I’ll never forget. Thank you again.

The one fault I do not have is truth. I never lie.
I do not role play. I am sincere here. I may be an ass, but an honest one.

To be thought an ass by you, disliked by you is a compliment.
Examine the following, see if the grammar sounds like me. I have many more similar

Teacher Recognition
There are many teachers that have made a major impact on my life, and how I think. My 8th grade math teacher used to play games with us so we could remember the math formulas better. I couldn’t stand math until 8th grade. There also was my 7th grade social studies teacher how only assigned essays for work. I couldn’t stand it then but now its so easy to write a paper. But there’s only one teacher that stands out above the rest. This teacher of mine helped me be more aggressive in getting what I wanted; he taught me to stand up for myself in many situations weather it was against a student or even a teacher; and he wanted me to never let anything get in my way of reaching my goals. He was a very strict teacher and wanted things done before they were due. He rarely thought of me as a student some one lower then himself because he always treated me like an adult, someone who could do things on their own. Another thing that made him a great teacher was that he was always straight forward with everything. If something was good he’d tell you and if it was crap then he’d let you know and make sure you still get it done before the deadline. He was also one of the few teachers that actually listens to his students and took action to what they had to say. Recently I asked to have some allotted time out of shop to so the Horticulture Banquet video and Promotional video for the school. He has done everything he could to get me that time that I needed because he knew that I would use the time wisely. Sometimes we would argue on what music to use in the video or what footage to use but he never said I’m the teacher it’s my way or a zero for the day. We would always come to a compromise.
If you don’t already know, I would like to thank you, Mr. Fisher, for taking the time to help me recognize my talent and improve upon it. As well as supporting me on all my videos and any pieces of work that I’ve done, and for speaking up for me when no one would listen. You always left me alone when I needed to be and respected me more the most teachers. Even though everyone else can’t get along with you and says you made high school hell for them, I have to say thank you for making my high school experience sane and on common ground. Even though some of the shots you made me get were annoying, and the music you thought would work, was completely wrong, and even the bickering and hinting to me you wanting cookies, got kind of long, but you still made it a fun experience and something I’ll never forget. Thank you again.

You want me to post more obviously
every time you accuse me of writing my own letters, I will post more until this thread is locked
Here are some comments that students wrote about me in my copy of the yearbook:
(without spelling or ANY corrections)
Mr. Burt Fisher:
These past two years I have spent with you have been very
special to me. I have enjoyed your company very much. Even though Mr.
Helms is always really nice & never yells but he hasn't done for me what
you have so therefor you simply have to be my favorite teacher. Most of
my friends would smack me for saying that but it just goes to show you
that the obviously don't know you very well at all. Thank you for
teaching me all you know I don't think I'd know what I'd want to do for
a career without the knowledge you bestowed on me. As you wrote to me
I'll write to you: I will always remember you as long as I like. I mean
live. Try not to be so grumpy. I will see you this summer. I expect it
to be fun. Stay in touch. Call me anytime. Don't worry, I'll comeback.

Always (female) (phone number)
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Heh, heh, Mr. Burt !
Mr. Fisher
I told you how I feel about you. You have been an
important part of my life. I have to say I glad that everything that
happened, happened. YOUR a good man, I know you know that, but I'm sure
lots of students in the following years will tell you otherwise. DON"T
LISTEN TO THEM! THEY SUCK!
male student
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear Mr. Burt E. Fisher,
First I'd like to say thank you for 4 great years of Shop &
Theory. I have to admit that at first I thought you were a complete
jerk. But after spending a lot of time with you I came to know you
better & I got to like you. I hope that we NEVER lose touch with each
other, so I'll be talking to you often. You played a big part in my life
& I hope I did in yours as well. I Also want you to know that I consider
you a fairly good friend. If you need a favor of me, just ask and it's
done as long as it's within my capabilities. God knows you did a lot of
favors for me. So have a great, healthy, fun filled life, and don't
forget to keep in touch. See you 'round!!!

Some backups are necessary. Ham radio and everything to do with it is a want, not a need

It depends. I remember being in a remote wilderness area and ham radio becoming a "need" when we by random chance encountered serious trouble along a mountain lake shadowed by mountains at dusk. The only savior was a 2 meter FM handie talkie with a rapidly dying battery that was able to reach a repeater almost 100 miles away in another state. The one reassuring thing was that my friend has his HT with a fully charged battery in his backpack should my battery have died before the mission was completed. Backup eh ?? Fortunately all worked well, help arrived thanks to a phone call from a lone ham well over 100 miles away alerted by radio.. This was long before widespread cell phone coverage and 3G/4G networks. And, I wouldn't be surprised if there is still no cell phone coverage there.

Point being, ham radio can be many things depending on circumstance.

I don't like contesting either. I simply click the off switch. Works great every time.

"One incident, Mr. Fisher I lost my respect for you the day you made the comment about pigs flying before I would have the intelligence to get my A+ certification. That sticks in the back of my head along with all the other feelings I have that tell me I can't do it."

In the end he actually turned out pretty successful and proved me wrong. Of course my insult spurred him to prove me wrong which was my intent.

I've also seen the director's name listed as Spike Jonze, just to throw another monkey wrench into the works.

And, for the record, I botched the hint. I should have typed "Feetlebaum" . Which will direct most people who do a lookup, most likely, to refer to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Tell_Overture_(Spike_Jones_version). But that's not the source of the quote.


Thats probably where im getting it from. Cool, i dont feel so bad. My dad used to have all those old albums that Dr Demento used to love, just sitting in his collection...wish i still had a few. Tom Lehrer was a favorite of his.

AS far as my English and grammar, not good but I was an electronics teacher. Would you like your plumber to quote Shakespere or fix the crap coming out of your mouth?
My license test tested my electronics knowledge, not my writing skills.
I can't get a regular gig? I had 30 years credit and am prohibited as a condition of retirement pension to work in the public sector to exceed $12,000 a year.
You question my writing skills when the best you can come up with is potty mouth and gutter language.
To be called an asshole by you is a compliment.


>sigh< You still here?


Good, take it as a compliment, whore, now go fuck yourself.

Now where were we? P-61's, J-Lo's ass, Dr Demento...all FAR more interesting subjects than some socially retarded 1-lander who desperately needs everyones attention.

You know, i think you are a fake...you can photoshop just fine, you can make up shit, nothing you posted is verifiable and im sure as hell not going to take your word for it. All this, and you are now starting to sound like a broken record. The rest of the islanders are friends of mine, i enjoy their conversations, yours are fun until it gets old, which it has. I will continue to hijack your threads wantonly, i will have a laugh at your expense from time to time as you are a very fragile and fat, floating target, but for the time being, im getting back to more interesting subjects that you. I should have taken the hint that i was the last one left even feeding the troll.

Now, go talk to yourself.

I saw a kid eat a booger this morning.

[N7YA]

Gross....fuck that kid! Little motherfucking twerp! :lol:


He should learn some goddamn manners, little fucking bitch! :agree:



Booger eating cocksucker.






































....fuck.

[KG4CGC]

Maybe the kid was low on salt.

[NA4BH]

His mother was looking at canned oysters. The kid must've been thinking about having them steamed.

Right seat (or better yet left) in a P-61 would be a hoot. The only way that would happen for me, if any were airworthy, would be through make-a-wish. And a sizable bribe.

Been up in a few warbirds, and I can't get enough of it. Love the feel and sound of the old radial engines.

Never found any boogers under the seats, either. Puke yes, boogers no.

Hey, gimme a novice class license. :twisted:

[W3WN]

Hey, gimme a novice class license. :twisted:I'll make you a copy of one of mine. Complete with Ben F. Waple's signature.

... no? ...

OK, try this one then:

No, can't, but if you hum a few bars... [cue: rimshot]

Thank you, thank you very much. We're here 'till Thursday... tell you friends! Don't forget to tip your waitress (when done, please return her to her original upright positiion). Try the veal!

Maybe the kid was low on salt.boogers have salt?

The chance of this thread being locked is very low.

Carry on...


Sorry, Dave.

This thing outlasted any useful discourse about two days ago.

It's now turning good people into bad people. Unlock it at will, I won't object. Your call.

[WØTKX]

Naaa, I'll let it alone Rob. FWIW, the citizens of our "Fair Isle" have had their say.
As usual, most "get it". It's why we are here. Beats the heck out of Facebook.
Or should I say "hell". ;)

Anyway, it's become quite circular, with no logic. I'm sure it will happen again.
