How 'bout a Nuc-u-lar device for the kitchen?

Why not get the latest techknowledgy as specified by our prez for the
people?

Since typical installations don't involve invading any new countries for
billions of dollars, we can more easily afford to offer our proven
endless support with the initial sale.

If your nuc package ever wears out, just drop it on the doorstep of your
local nuc power station for proper storage for the next 2 or 3 -
100-thousand years.

Too bad the greenies don't grasp that a
few years of use now outweight the
disadvantages of the millenia ahead.

The prez that introduced the term "nucular" was Jimmy Carter. He was
actually trained as a nuclear engineer, wasn't any good at it, but did
nicely as a government-subsidized peanut farmer. He went on to pioneer
economic concepts like malaise, stagflation, and the misery index.

S'funny, I remember JFK mispronouncing it that way too. Actually
I think he got it from the generic Washington lexicon; Words Used By
Government Officials That They Really Don't Understand. Probably
goes back to WWII.

I'd rather kick the bad-assses butts than go back to Jimmy's stag-flation,
thanks. Even Jimmy's brother was a "sincere man", when he could crawl out
of his vat of Billy Beer. A "sincere man" isn't the end-all in leaders,
though there aren't too many that are less sincere than GWB. He tells you
exactly what he's going to do, then does it. ...and your ilk sits back
saying "he can't do that!". Stupid you.

On the pronunciation aspect, I've often heard Americans pronounce Tuesday as "toosday"


so the pronunciation of nuclear (noo instead of new) doesn't surprise me at all. However the second "u" suggests lack of
familiarity with scientific concepts.

It really depends if you believe he is sincere in his statements that his objective is to bring democracy to the people of the
world - or if in fact his intention is to plunder their oil, build US military bases and flood their markets with quality food
the likes of which is pushed by McDonalds (in other words ghastly !)

The job is too important for nice/sincere to matter. He was one of the

Well, could you correctly pronounce a chemical name
when you heard it just once or twice ?
Assuming this not your field of course.

So Dude, if we're plundering oil, why is it $60 a barrel? Is somebody

Must be a British english thing? The current preferred pronunciation,
when I look it up, seems to be "tooz":

When I read your noo/new I didn't see any difference. Same issue, I
guess:

However the second "u" suggests lack of familiarity with scientific concepts.

Even for me, that extrapolation is a bit of a stretch.

Yes, it's a difference between US and UK pronunciation.

Does your cat mew or moo :)

Well, notwithstanding I don't have a cat, and wouldn't allow one of
the evil filthy things into my house, 'mew' is pronounced the way
it is because there's an 'e' in it. There is no 'e' in the first
syllable of 'nuclear' - that's 'nu'. The 'clear' part was the original
bone of contention here, but now there's some brit interlopers who
claim they you're supposed to interpose a 'y' everywhere.

The phonetic pronunciation of 'tuesday' is 'twezz-day'.

If you want to rename it "Tiu's Day", that's fine with me, but
I'll go with "toozday."[1] ;-)

Cheers!
Rich
1. It's the only freakin' pronunciation that can be typed on
a standard ASCII keyboard! ;-)

Agree absolutely about cats.

The project for this is a wall mounted, directed "water pistol" with
a webcam and image recognition/tracking software to drench the verminous
creatures that dare to venture into my garden.

I have found that car windscreen washer pumps provide a powerful jet though
perhaps something more substantial would be preferable.

Nah! Gerry Ford has been a much better ex-prez. He's kept is big mouth

Neither. He tribbles (yes that's the word, and from where ST got the name).

Besides, cows moo! Some cats may me-ow.
