Post Race!

[szlamany]

Miss the horse race? No! Post late!

[szlamany]

Post Office closed? No! Post late!

And that's got it two ways - that's Post Great!

[szlamany]

Naw - Frosted Flakes - now that's Post Great!

Two ways again - post cereal?

[dday9]

I had frosted flakes this morning. Or the Wal-Mart equivalent of it.

[dday9]

I am the ultimate post racer.

[dday9]

I can post and post without a 30 second delay.

[dday9]

Theoretically I'm 30x faster then y'all!

[dday9]

Now if only I could type sentences in one second.

[dday9]

I always use alt+s to post my post race posts.

[dday9]

How much post could a post race post if a post race could post post?

[dday9]

I can't believe that the Saints lost last night... to the Cowboys!!!

[dday9]

I wish there was a smiley that was throwing up.

[dday9]

That would sum up my response.

The Saints suck everywhere but the Superdome. They couldn't even win in Cleveland! LOL

Tell me about it... I don't think that we won a single away game last year

[Shaggy Hiker]

I have nothing to say.

[Gruff]

You just said something. *Heh*

[dday9]

And that is why I love the post race Shaggy!

[Shaggy Hiker]

Actually, I was pressed for time and had to flee.

[FunkyDexter]

I was pressed for time and had to pee.

[Gruff]

I was pressed for time... so I dropped it off at the cleaners. Had it starched and folded. Now I can get from here to there in no time.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I was impressed at the time and had a flea.

What is the meaning of the word: Invalid?

There are two distinctly different meanings, and which one is correct depends entirely on the context. English is a weird language.

[Gruff]

I alway thought it was a bit of a lame word.

[dday9]

I'm cold.

[Shaggy Hiker]

It IS a bit chilly today.

[dday9]

It feels like I could hang meat in my office, but if we raised the thermostat then the rest of the office would be hot.

[Gruff]

One can always put on a sweater when cold.
You can only take off so much when hot.

[dday9]

The epidermis isn't to tough to take off.

[Gruff]

integuments are kind of necessary.

[Shaggy Hiker]

You don't want the rest of your office to be too hot, or else you won't be able to hang your meat.

[Gruff]

Not touching that straight line.

[Shaggy Hiker]

That line wasn't straight, it bent slightly to the left.

I was trying to tip-toe along the indefinite edge of acceptability.

[Gruff]

I've seen underwater impellers in rivers proposed for power generation.

Seems like it could actually slow the speed of the river if you had too many.
Not to mention the damage if a ship keel grazed those turning blades.

What about DIY geothermal? What is the current technology for drilling down 10 miles or so.
I read somewhere that that would be deep enough to tap the necessary heat. (Not everywhere has active geothermal vents.)

I read somewhere that they did experiments with the space shuttle where they dragged a conducting cable below the shuttle and were able to generate a considerable amount of juice.

This sounds pretty cool until you realize that your just tapping the energy it took to lift the shuttle to orbit in the first place. I mean by bleeding electric power off the cable you would slow the speed of the shuttle.
(Bleed enough and your orbit starts to decay.)
I suppose you are also slowing the rotation of the earth by the tiniest fraction as well.

Make you wonder if you could reverse the process. Pump power into the cable and raise the craft to a higher orbit.

If so I could imagine some sort of tug boat style spacecraft that could descend from high orbit, dock with a vessel sent into low earth orbit then tow it back to high orbit, all achieved without rockets. Just a nuclear or solar power source to generate electric power.

Wrong thread gruff, but right thread at the same time.

[Gruff]

Doh!

[Shaggy Hiker]

Classic. Double post...of a sort.
