Mooved to Montana? Shoulda stuck to dental floss, not investor floss...

I might be moovin' to Montana soon

Just to raise me up a crop of dental floss

Raisin' it up

Waxin' it down

In a little white box

That I can sell uptown

By myself I wouldn't have no boss

But I'd be raisin' my lonely dental floss

I had a six-transistor AM Radio as a child

Shirley you could build a wooden one with six of these?

DXC

...had an acronym bot at one time but apparently DXC shut it down after too many inquiries about, wait for it, DXC

p.s. After some time, DXC stated its acronym is short for Delivering eXcellence for our Customers WTF LOL

Earth, Gasses, Moon...and Grateful Dead

Deadheads are everywhere. Cosmic!

So it seems you CAN tune a fish!

Trevor, play fookin' Oasis!!

Guy thinks Amazon Echo is called Trevor

My Yugo was named Slavia

...with a state-issued vanity plate to match. Speaking of match, I met my wife (at the time also a Yugo owner) via ol' Slavia as she thought that was the cleverest vanity plate ever.

While her car was soon traded in for a VW Golf, Slavia was eventually driven into the ground years later with the only major repair being a carburetor replacement while still under warranty, although he did suffer a major incident when a neighborhood thug ripped out the duct tape-attached cassette deck taking the entire heating system box with it.

Luckily the adjustment cables remained so I could still regulate heat/defrost although there was a learning curve to understand which cable did what...

My Dell 755 is running Win10 21H1 quite fine thank you

although boosted to a max capacity of 8GB RAM from original 2GB albeit on equally-old spinning rust and the stock Core 2 Duo @ 2.66 GHz CPU. Sadly, looks like no Win11 in its future.

2 thumbs up for Malvina Reynolds reference

Little Boxes - Malvina Reynolds 1962

Pete Seeger had a 1963 hit record during the Great Folk Music Scare but I have always preferred her own version with her slightly creaky-sounding voice adding even more authenticity.

Little boxes on the hillside

Little boxes made of ticky tacky

Little boxes on the hillside

Little boxes all the same

There's a pink one and a green one

And a blue one and a yellow one

And they're all made out of ticky tacky

And they all look just the same

And the people in the houses

All went to the university

Where they were put in boxes

And they came out all the same

And there's doctors and lawyers

And business executives

And they're all made out of ticky tacky

And they all look just the same

And they all play on the golf course

And drink their martinis dry

And they all have pretty children

And the children go to school

And the children go to summer camp

And then to the university

Where they are put in boxes

And they come out all the same

And the boys go into business

And marry and raise a family

In boxes made of ticky tacky

And they all look just the same

There's a pink one and a green one

And a blue one and a yellow one

And they're all made out of ticky tacky

And they all look just the same

Often the system doesn't work for VALID claims...

I've sent APC at least 75 claims for their infamous power strip recall involving more than 15,000,000 units. Despite following proper procedure involving taking/sending closeup scans of each unit, individually as determined by their cryptic serial numbering system to determine eligibility, we've received exactly ZERO replacements.

Immortal album but the narrator's observations of The Lamb Opening the Seals is the best part. What a Revelation!!

You have not responded for two minutes...

We will close this ticket if no response is forthcoming.

TICKET CLOSED (ONE SECOND after "You have not..." appears on the screen). And you can see the one-second-later time stamp on your CLOSED ticket.

No logo, just the name...
