Well, it's been a while and I've come back better than ever....okay, not really. But I am back.
In this podcast:
Like everyone these days, I complain about the heat for a while.
Speaking of heat, the robot movie, "Automatons" is now out there trying to create some heat for itself at festivals. It is, in fact, discussed within...
-(by the way, they have cool, new, pink, skull girl shirts at their store, here)-
Everything in the actually semi-almost-useful tool section will probably be a little easier to understand if you check out the photos on this page first. They make a lot of tools but the one on the front page is the one I talk about in the podcast.
Music is by a Dallas (Howdy Mike!) band inexplicably singing, constantly, about New York,
The Old 97's.
Also covered:
The Brooklyn Ale House.
Mansquito.
Millicent here.
ReplyDeleteAs usual, yet another masterpiece of pop culture puncutated ramblings. I had this puppy looping on my computer all day long in an effort to fully appreciate it all, but I only managed to hear bits and pieces. Oddly, the Mansquito bit was one of the bits I heard just about everytime it came around...
Henry's too cute for words. Is that a naturally occuring mohawk hair-do or did you cut it that way?
ReplyDeleteSorry about your B-Ball team, but on the other hand the bar team and a free first round of beer sounds unquestionably good. Any free beer is unquestionably good.
So you're the big fish in the little pond on your new team? Not too shabby.
ReplyDeleteWhy is it that most tool terms and construction terms have some sort of sexual double meaning? Is it a function of those fields being male-dominated? Does someone think up these names to amuse themselves? Nuts, studs, screws. I'm just wondering...
Henry, that is a cool-looking 'do, thank your daddy.
Amysue, you forgot a few-
ReplyDeletehammer

lay (as in carpet)
butt joint
double hung (as in window)
caulk
concrete vibrator
tongue and groove
rim joist
I shall stop this now.
Caulk? I don't get that one, must be out of my league. But, yeah, that's exactly what I mean. I've always wondered about that. Which came first, using those terms in a professional way or a slang way. These are the kinds of thoughts that suck up my mental energy. Sad.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, Cat, that was impressive. :)
I am thinking the carpentry terms came first, and the double entendres came later.
