The waiting and waiting for a chance to use this new and, oh so clever,

Thank you!
I was wondering whether you'd get it...

Rather pathetic really.

Do I detect a hint of grudging admiration?

Not at all, John, I'm CEO of a small company which is developing a new

Nonsense, you're far too stupid, and any actual CEO beholden to
stockholders would keep his stupid mouth shut.

What's sad is that Slowman has to waddle out of his poochie pad to bark

Now that the Supreme Court has struck down the Texan anti-sodomy laws

"hetro"? No, but "openly hetero" would be more accurate.

Anything you say, John ...
And devote correspondingly less time to claiming that your critics are
"limp-wristed" and in other ways effeminate?

No, and I suspect that with the change in the law you'll soon be here
begging for citizenship.
Not likely. My wife did her Ph.D. at Austin, Texas. The Ph.D. was very
successful, but she didn't think much of Texas as a place to live, and was
out of the state as soon as her Ph.D. examination was completed. She did go
back there once, about twenty years later, and didn't notice much in the way
of improvement - I don't think that she'd be too receptive to offers of
post-retirement professorships in Texas.

Bent over the bar spread eagle in usual positon, pants at his ankles and jarWouldn't you have had to program in a
suspect phone number or area code before the fact? If the latter,
wouldn't
you be risking losing a lot of potential business?
The next thing ya know, they'll all be blaming me for it.... again.What is even sadder is that people who I have respect for can act so
childish, I have received help and guidance from both John and Bill ( helped

"Bzzt WRONGO! What consolation prize do we have for our guestSteve, you may be an expert in electronics, but you obviously have no clue
about product development.

Gee, why yes, I believe I have. ;->Have you never heard of patents.

You may ask. That is all.At this point
in time, the product needs all the publicity it can get, even in such a

Keep checking the technical press, the publicity will be going out very
shortly.

Which is the derived and which is the original meaning? My theory is
that it's ultimately an onomatopoeic word. If you can't see that,
you're probably not doing it right. ;-)
