Hahaha!

There’s no denying that the country is a mess, but can you imagine the trouble we’d be in if Trump or any of his enablers were actually intelligent?

Too Much Innuendo

Comedy gold from my guilty pleasure:

Marty: This thing has been way harder than I thought.

Marty: It’s made me feisty.

Marty: Once more into the breach!

Dan: I exposed enough of it to tell what it was.

Dave: You wanna see it!

Rick: I wanna see it! I want to expose the entire structure.

Jack: How big are we talking?

Clotworthy: A mud-filled void.

Marty: It’s still in there, then.  Craig: Exactly.

Clotworthy: Taken from the same hole.

Gary: Look at this, Rick.

Marty: You can swing that metal detector.

Charles: You ain’t seen nothin’ yet. Marty: You ain’t seen nothin’ yet!!!! Gary: winks at Marty.

Marty: You ready to get after it?

Clotworthy: It is a day of great anticipation for Rick, Marty, and their partners.

Marty: So Craig, are you excited about this? It’s been a long time coming.

Craig. Yes, excited and nervous.

Marty: We get to see what your dad has been dreaming about forever, right Dave?

Clotworthy: Each hole will be filled with a small blasting cap.

Rick: We are well on our way to defining a hard target.

Marty: I’m rolling up my sleeves and everything, Gary.

Gary: We pounded this area last year.

Marty: Keep going!!!!

Gary: This is good!!!!

Marty: We have a very mysterious structure under here.

Rick: My hope is that we can expose all of that, or enough of it.

Henskee: First thing is to estimate the diameter. This looks like it was part of something that was pretty large.

Rick: Don’t let your imagination run away from you.

Rick: Peter, I designate you to take it there. Peter: I will bring a couple of guys with us.

Gary: It’s quite deep as well.

Gary: Give me ten inches, just there mate.

Rick: Oh baby!!!!!

Clotworthy: This will generate a series of seismic pulses deep within the underground test area.

Jack: I didn’t understand until I got here how big we were going.

Gauthier (the big guy from Eagle Canada): We were super-excited.

Jeremy (the bald guy from Eagle Canada): At that point where I believe the shaft or opening is.

Rick: I get choked up. You should be proud of yourselves. You hit the mark, you hit the bullseye.

Unidentified Eagle Canada worker: We’re gonna chew up that money pit pretty good.

Dr. McFarland (New Brunswick University): We can get it going.

Dr. McFarland (New Brunswick University): Very nice…

Dr. McFarland (New Brunswick University): This is where all the action happens.

Dr. McFarland (New Brunswick University): When I push it in, you will actually see……doink!

Gary: Look at this!!! A fricken’ hole!!! (sticks finger in and out of hole in rock). What the heck has someone been doing here?

Gary: You can see where this has been pounded in.

Gary: It’s obvious these two holes are connected.

Irving (the suit): We’ve got a couple of tricks up our sleeve.

Irving (the suit): Here are the engineers, and a couple of guys from the pile-driving department.

Craig: So we said sure, we’ll do it with you guys.

Marty: I did see the picture that you sent, and it is exciting!

Rick: This is more about eyes and boots on the ground, getting dirty, jumping in.

Peter: So there’s something really big/deep. Mike West (geophysicist with

GPR): Yeah, this isn’t a subtle response.

Gary: You never ever know what is going to come out of your next hole.

Rick: Gary reached in, and there you go.

Quote of the Day

Socialism is a scare word they’ve hurled at every advance the people have made. Socialism is what they called public power, social security, deposit insurance, and independent labor organizations. Socialism is their name for anything that helps all people.” ~ Harry Truman, 1952

Omens and Portents?

I woke this morning from a disturbing dream. I was at work in a meeting when we heard emergency sirens. While my colleagues remained in the conference room I went to the window (I work on the 19th floor) to see a ginormous tornado moving through downtown. It was almost the width of a city block, and was black as coal. The twister was close enough that it should’ve impacted the building I was in, yet all it did was throw debris at it, none of which seemed to do any damage.

Then I looked off to the west and saw it approaching: a tsunami wave, a wall of water fifteen stories high, heading directly toward us. The scene was straight out of 2012 or Deep Impact. My last thought before the wave hit the building and I awoke was, “So…this is how it ends.”

This is not surprising considering where my head has been at lately.

A wall of water that high approaching Phoenix could mean only one thing: a civilization-ending asteroid strike in the Pacific.

Shower Thoughts

The car cigarette lighter transitioning to the car mobile phone/electronic device charging port is one of the greatest repurposing success stories in world history. It’s also indicative of how society has traded one addiction for another.
