You could pick up and move, I'm sure St. Vince's here could use an X-rayted technician...

That's X-rayted Technologist, dear. St. Vince's huh? Do I have to be Catholic? Cuz I just don't think my knees could take it. Maybe I could just listen to confessions?

[Kitsune06]

*suppresses awful urge to make an awful joke* X, thou leadest me to temptation.

I don't think you have to be Catholic. Sorry I messed up your title... I still want you to help me install the turbo chip in my little blue racecar and maybe take 'er for a spin sometime...

[Xrayted]

Turbo huh? Ever try Nitrox? Nah, better not, we'd get arrested. Would be fun tho.

I'm gonna ignore what I think you were gonna say cuz I'm nice like that.

[Kitsune06]

Thanks. I've been told I could try Nitrox, but the risk of blowing seals (Neons and head gaskets... it's a love-hate relationship...) and cracking the engine block are just... not things I want to do. The cold air intake and flo-thru exhaust system *coughsemiillegalmufflercough* help up the HP too. It's my baby. Now I wanna bike commute so I never have to drive 'er.

[KnottedYet]

Are you doing all this sh*t to a Geo Metro!?!?!?!

[Kitsune06]

HA! No. *sniff* The metro was my baby and my first car. This is a '01 Dodge Neon. yeah, cheap, I know, but cheap and with minimal modding you can make it one of the fastest Dodges on the market (aside from the SRT-4, Charger and the Viper)... so... yeah. I've never been clocked, but I did have a good run on I-5 with a Camaro where we both topped out at ~120.

[Xrayted]

OMG!!! Kit you just kill me! I may as well just sell the tv. This is so much better.

Flo-thru... I knocked out the baffles on my Harley to get a little sound. Then went to straight pipes, rejetted the carb and ZOOOOM! Sadly, I'm supposed to be a grown up now. S**ks.

[Kitsune06]

"grown up" just means you haven't managed to kill yourself before reaching maturity. Either tone it down or try harder.

You should *hear* the purr the engine makes. It idles at a G flat and coordinates remarkably well with Tool.

[crazycanuck]

OI..What is it with you ladies? OI..Stop posting so much. Those of us at work can't keep up with yers..

Hawumph I say..

It's so hard to come to TD and try not to giggle whilst working...

Yummmyy lunch...Want some fruit salad?

CyclChyk - OMG, you know what a 45 is? Ya old woman. Think I got a turntable (or record player as they were called back in the day) stashed somewhere in a closet. Not sure.

Yeh well my first record player played 78's, 45's AND 33's.... Now if I had a Victrola THEN I would be old

And on the 'Stang, I'll be there at dawn for a spin. What he don't know won't hurt him. We'll just turn back the odometer like Ferris. Oh, wait, that didn't work, did it? Shoot. Well, I know how to unhook the cable so we're still golden. Do you have keys or do I need to bring my "tools"?

Come on down - I got keys and we have to get the manual choke warmed up but Man does that baby purr!!! You ok with Skynard??
(We just can't crash it like Cameron did.... Frank might get a little pissed if I did that )

[Kitsune06]

You ladies promise me you'll pick me up on this little joyride, okay?

[CyclChyk]

Flo-thru... I knocked out the baffles on my Harley to get a little sound. Then went to straight pipes, rejetted the carb and ZOOOOM! Sadly, I'm supposed to be a grown up now. S**ks.

OY X!! You killing me here with the memories. My DH's first bike after we got together was a Kawi Classic 800 (he later upgraded to the 1500; looked alot like a Fatboy) but anyhoo, we knocked out the baffles too and dam* was that thing LOUD! I still have the scar on my calf from the pipe when I "dismounted" from the wrong side of that baby.....

Sigh - those were the good ol days.

Ok KIT but you and X get to fight over shotgun cuz I'm driving first!

[Fredwina]

Fredwina- Was that with or without punch cards? I don't want to overguess the era, but the concept of computers using punch cards is just wild to me... The things you miss, jumping through space-time...

Kit, that job was really back to the future. In 1984, we had a hospital with CPU that used Vacuum tube memory....
Punch cards: It was decided that I had promise as a systems programmer, and they could not get parts for the punch card readers, so I was given the task of making the punch card drivers read a tape drive. The instructions we sent to the sites was to read the cards we sent first, then read the tape with my programs. you can guess which order the operators followed. fun job, but the company went bankrupt.
anyway, Monday, I go back to being a career dinosaur... COBOL is so much fun.. not Maybe I can get some more Java studying done.

CyclChyk - South Carolina, 71 'stang, Skynard... ah, I think I'm home!

I went to a Skynard concert last year. First concert in a looong time. They still kick azz. Nuthin' like a little southern fried rock to get the blood pumpin'.
Get this... SO fell asleep during the show!?! (Yeah, I know. , right??) SO also got bored at the Earth, Wind and Fire/Chicago concert. Started nodding off so was sent for a nice cleansing walk. No more concerts w/ SO. Period! **shakes head** At least I don't have to sit still anymore. I can get up and rock as hard as I want when I go with my GF's. What happens at the show, stays at the show.

[CyclChyk]

Ok X, I can accept that you fell asleep at an EW&F concert, but Skynard??? How is that humanly possible??? Do you have an "L" tat on your forehead?? I realize Ronnie is no longer with us (may he rest in peace) but we still have Johnny and Donnie.......

I can't believe you feel asleep..... just for that KIT is riding shotgun and you are banished to the back seat......

(my last concert was in July - it was Def Leppard and "Journey" (if you can still call them that). I tried to rock out but my DH got a lil embarassed so I have to "act like an adult" - GAG )
