It used an artificial whale design, with fins and flukes instead of propellers.

Just stay away from Japanese ships!

Good Night ‘Face!

[sionnsar]

Good night, 'Face!

Don't know but that I won't be too far behind. Woke up for a couple of hours in the middle of the night and am dragging a bit myself.

[rottndog]

Submarines are to Japanese ships as Tornadoes are to Mobile homes.

[sionnsar]

But are Japanese Ships to Whale Submarines as Tornadoes are to Mobile Homes?

[rottndog]

I’ll probably turn in early meself....I went to bed early...sleeping conditions perfect...my phone woke me up at 3am with a low battery alarm...and of course I couldn’t get back to sleep after that.

Needless to say, I’m kind of dragging today.

[sionnsar]

my phone woke me up at 3am with a low battery alarm

Part of the reason mine is on vibrate except when on the charger.

No more getting woken up in the UK at 3 AM by a stateside colleague wanting to talk.

One of the advantages of operating silently is that one can avoid detection by intrusive authorities, or noisy Japanese fishermen.

My characters used it to operate a black market in technology and tax-exempt commerce.

"But are Japanese Ships to Whale Submarines as Tornadoes are to Mobile Homes?"

How're they gonna find me? I don't surface.

Took me a second to realize you weren't talking about cell phones!

I've never had a noisy Japanese fisherman bother me because I forgot to turn my phone to vibrate...

[sionnsar]

I don't surface.

A good thing, that! Run silent, run deep.

[sionnsar]

I've never had a noisy Japanese fisherman bother me because I forgot to turn my phone to vibrate...

A good thing. I am sure it would be an experience you'd never forget!

[rottndog]

I forgot to charge it....

The problem is my new phone is only supposed to be charged when it’s off, and I don’t like to have my phone off when I’m away from the shop, as that’s the first number the security company will call if the shop alarm goes off.

So I have to remember to turn it off and charge it, for short periods when I’m home. The good thing is that it charges quickly.

I don’t know if the low battery alarm will sound if the phone’s on vibrate...

[rottndog]

Problem is Japanese fisherman use sonar to find the fish/whales....

But I’m sure your submawhale has a sonar-proof stealth coating...

[sionnsar]

The problem is my new phone is only supposed to be charged when it’s off,

Wow -- that sounds like a step backwards! What phone is that? I think I'll stick with one that needs to be recharged every two to three days (at home I am a LONG way from two nearest towers -- my old phones wouldn't even work indoors) but can charge while on.

[rottndog]

It’s an LG by Qualcomm.

My inlaws got the same phones, and my Father in law, whose a tech geek, told me that. I couldn’t find it in the manual, but for now I’ll take his word for it—the phone’s gotta last 2 years.

[rottndog]

Time to run home and paint awhile.

[sionnsar]

Hm. Not familiar with it. But I haven’t had a problem with cellphone longevity. The Mot V300 I have now is (OMG!) 3-1/2 years old!

[governmentstillsucks]

Dude. That’s, like, SCARY convincing. You do a wicked BOR.

You think that is scary? I'll have you soiling your armour, good Sir Knight.

I might as well make the announcement now: Ben O'Rourke's "In the Element" show will debut tomorrow night, 9/07.

This is a strictly mathematical viewpoint...it goes like this:

What Makes 100%? What does it mean to give MORE than 100%? Ever wonder about those people who say they are giving more than 100%? We have all been to those meetings where someone wants you to give over 100%. How about achieving 103%? What makes up 100% in life?

Here’s a little mathematical formula that might help you answer these questions:

If:
A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

is represented as:
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26.

Then:

H-A-R-D-W-O-R-K
8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11 = 98%

and

K-N-O-W-L-E-D-G-E
11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5 = 96%

But ,

A-T-T-I-T-U-D-E
1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5 = 100%

And,

B-U-L-L-S-H-I-T
2+21+12+12+19+8+9+20 = 103%

AND, look how far ass kissing will take you.

A-S-S-K-I-S-S-I-N-G
1+19+19+11+9+19+19+9+14+7 = 118%

So, one can conclude with mathematical certainty that While Hard work and Knowledge will get you close, and Attitude will get you there, it’s the Bullshit and Ass kissing that will put you over the top.

Good night everyone.
