I'm going to hold off on reformatting the laptop until monday, in case of a fatal crash... I want my machine working on the weekend... glad that I've backed up the important parts of my machine, though. Some very important pictures and data I would prefer to not lose.

A Programmer and an Engineer were sitting next to each other on an airplane. The Programmer leans over to the Engineer and asks if he wants to play a fun game. The Engineer just wants to sleep so he politely declines, turns away and tries to sleep. The Programmer persists and explains that it's a real easy game. He explains,"I ask a question and if you don't know the answer you pay me $5. Then you ask a question and if I don't know the answer I'll pay you $5." Again the Engineer politely declines and tries to sleep.

The Programmer, now somewhat agitated, says, "Okay, if you don't know the answer you pay me $5 and if I don't know the answer I pay you $50!" Now, that got the Engineer's attention, so he agrees to the game. The Programmer asks the first question, "What's the distance from the earth to the moon?" Then Engineer doesn't say a word and just hands the Programmer $5.

Now, its the Engineer's turn. He asks the Programmer,"What goes up a hill with three legs and comes down on four?" The Programmer looks at him with a puzzled look, takes out his laptop computer, looks through all his references and after about an hour wakes the Engineer and hands the Engineer $50. The Engineer politely takes the $50 turns away and tries to return to sleep.

The Programmer, a little miffed, asks, "Well what's the answer to the question?"

Without a word, the Engineer reaches into his wallet, hands $5 to the Programmer, turns away and returns to sleep.

How doooo!

Welcome to my shop
Let me cut your mop
Let me shave your crop!
Daintily! Daint-til-ly!

Hey yoooou!
Don't look so perplexed
Why must you be next
Can't you see you're next?
Yes, you're next!
Yoou're so next!

How about a nice close shave
Teach your whiskers to behave
Lots of lather lots of soap
Please hold still don't be a dope
Now we're ready for the scrapin'
There's no use to try escapin'
Yell and scream and rant and rave
There's no use you need a shaave!

Ooh ouch ouch ooh ouch ooh ooh ouch!

There, you're nice and clean!
Although your face looks like it might have gone through a ma-chine!

Oh, where do I get that waabbit?

What would you want with a waabbit?
Can't you see that I'm much swee-ter?
I'm your little Senyeree-ter
Yooou are my type of guy
Let me straighten your tie
And I shall dance for you!

Oooooh!

I've suddenly been inspired to find the un-cut versions of the musical Looney Tunes cartoons....my favorite is "What's Opera, Doc?" ("Killed the waaaaabbit..."). There's a bunch of stuff out there, some of it out of print and going for big bucks on eBay. I'm still trying to find out if they're the non-violent versions that were hacked up unmercifully by ABC censors back in the 80's or the fabulously brilliant originals.

Ooooh, that reminds me! Must also find the "dueling hillbilly" cartoon (that one was completely ruined by the censors....as if there's something wrong with a couple of guys in overalls whacking each other with 2 by 4's!)

Still depressing to think of Chuck Jones have passed away not that long ago. He was a true and utter prince and a genius.

We were lucky to have him for so long!

Yes we were, and to have grown up with the master's work.
