Well, THERE'S the @#$% light we've been seeing!!!

Hollow dog == O, glow, hold! The light we see is filtered through a dog? That dog-gone light! Or are we inside the dog, looking out? I know which end I'd prefer...

You have to uplift the tail before you go in? :thumb: (snap) Turn your head and bark.

More than one, but less than twenty-one. It - like so many of my ilk - are dimbulbs.

There sems to be some confusion about darkness. If we, as individuals, are in total darkness - like the inside of a dog - then *any* light from outside will be visible. The source of the light need not shine directly into the opening; some photons will find their way to our retinas. We have all...

The sun will (appear to) turn itself off every 12 hours or so, depending on where you stand on the globe. If it goes dark, then that rules out the sun. If it doesn't go dark - or you're above the Arctic Circle - you will need that dang Trilithium probe.

It has yet to be determined what the phenomena are, so to call it a "light" at the end of the "tunnel" is premature.

And don't forget "O, Tannenboom"

"I saw Mommy kissing Santa Claus, Underneath the missle keys last night..." I think it's from "Nuclear Winter" starring Bang Crosby.

No pin, no gin. I can't live in a world without A's...

Well, SOMEONE has to be imagining me SOMEWHERE because try as I might, I cannot think myself thin enough to fit into my high school band uniform. It must be a conflict of thinterest. Speaking of music: "8 to 5" has a different meaning for us old marching bandos, eh? Our director had us marching...

Reading the previous existential and nihilistic rants gives one pause (or paws if one believes in Dog). If one accepts the tenet, "I think, therefore I am", how does one refute a Zen master, whose goal is "to not think, and therefore to not be"? As Schrodinger pointed out, "The cat is dead and...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the "light" at the end of the "tunnel" is actually a white hole at the other end of a black hole (commonly called a "wormhole" in S.F. literature). The "tunnel" is just empty space surrounding the white hole.

"Come, Gather 'Round, People..." "...for the times, they are a-changin." If there was no "progress", then we would have no fond memories, eh? I had a garden plot when I was in college, and didn't realize there were RR tracks behind it. One morning, I was out cultivating and a steam loco passed...

...and the Umpire said, "Strike three!" thumsup: argh, a tragic tale, but with a silver lining. Is that a light I see in the tunnel? Don't worry, you'll get no pity from me - things don't work for a reason, usually something I did, or something I didn't do. Kinda like the $20,000 Pyramid ;-)

RR logos Ralph: Your Penn Central logo inspired me to find one of my all-time favorite corporate logos, Illinois-Central. Growing up in Cleveland, I saw a lot of IC cars. The logos that stand out most for me are B&O, C&O (I had a cat named Chessie ;-), Erie Lackawanna, Penn Central. I liked...

aitch tee em ell N Gauger: I create web applications - design is not! my strong suit (unless you like squares, lines, etc.) No flash for me, sorry...just database connectivity, web pages that behave like Windows applications (no flickering), etc., etc., etc. Don't get me started... Oh, yeah -...

Get a hobby? Sheesh... N Gauger, I am a computer programmer. I am consumed by computer programming. I cannot LIVE without computer programming. Sounds to me like the definition of a hobby, no? :) Oh, I do ride my bicycle now and again, and I read voraciously. I cook almost every day for...

mea culpa thumsup - you know better :cool:

The Roundhouse Kids abutt - funny story. Castles made of sand, eh? (meaning your mom's expectations were dashed by that "hint o' steam", but I bet your Grandpa was near hysterical ;-) * * * So we all have had early experiences with...
