That made me laugh out loud. That 'sin cos tan stuff' is what triggered me to ditch my TI and switch to an HP with RPN. Still have one on my desk.

I'd forgotten about those Walt Garrison Skoal commercials: Two Walt Garrison funnies: 1. His 'signing bonus' when the Dallas Cowboys drafted him was a horse trailer. He asked for the trailer so that he could trailer his horses and participate in rodeos. 2. Long after Walt Garrison retired...

I think if you win a very close game/match against a much lower rated opponent, your Fargo score can be negatively affected.

I'm using one similar to this: but I don't recall the specific brand. It came with several different shaped holders. I use the round for Taom. I put it in my shirt pocket instead of my pants pocket and it works great as long as I don't forget and 'sit the chalk on the table'...

I really like this! I have several very old Dufferin basic 'house cues' which are all in very good condition. I'd love to have one made into a SP, the more plain, the better. What you've done is pretty much what I have in mind. Now I just need to find someone to make the conversion for me.

You've lived enough for any three normal people, Rusty!

Don't know how I got along so far without one of these! Definitely needs to be part of my BBQ repertoire!

Looks like Johnny Trigg!

I see two flaws with your example: 1. In an unrestricted, free market system, the 500 'wise ants' certainly would have accumulated enough wealth through application of their superior knowledge in order to fund the solution amongst themselves without the need to 'tax' another 'couple hundred...

I occasionally consider replacing my 28 year old set of Centennials with a new set. Last time I looked, maybe a year ago, seems like they were around $250 USD. I just looked again and they're now $560. Has the price increased this much due to inflation, etc.? Has the formula or...

This makes me want to go out and fire up the smokers!

Karen?

Formula One racing's worldwide TV viewership and personal attendance is topped only by that of soccer. I expect if you included all of 'auto racing' or certainly all of 'motor sports', the numbers would be greater than soccer.

I expect the 'Red Bull Story' is the focus of countless MBA classes and dissertations, especially the marketing aspects. As a long time F1 fan, I was at first skeptical of their entry into the sport (most newcomers fail miserably and suffer huge financial losses). However, they quickly...

Also a batting aid for Houston Astros.

In the mining industry, it's MSHA, which has even more rules and more restrictions than OSHA. While working at a gold mine, I recall at least two instances where employees were fired for posting photos taken inside the mine site on social media. The company was absolutely paranoid about some...

Reminds me of the time my middle-school-age son and I got into building and modifying model rockets. We had the not-so-bright idea of omitting the parachute and filling the nose cone with black powder. The plan was that the engine charge intended to dislodge the nose cone and deploy the...

No TV! And I wish I could ban cell phones. Drives me mad to complete a run to look up and see my competitor on their phone.

I have attended some Oktoberfest events in small Wisconsin towns, and have to agree that accordion music can be a bit much. On the other hand, I've been blessed to see live performances by Percy Cardona (Mavericks) and Wayne Toups. Now when an accordion is played at that level, I can listen...

My dad had one very similar to this. He eventually traded up to a motor home.
