Bizarro

Every now and again I'm freshly reminded that my friends aren't exactly....average.  Exhibit A....from an IM a few minutes ago:

"I have a partially-constructed electric wind turbine I'm all into."

How many times do you hear something like that in casual conversation?  Not talking about his job.  No.  It's in his garage.  Of course.

that's f'ing awesome.

I have new friends here. They would have made a place for me just because I'm a Laurel and the only one they have. The SCA here is like Atlantia 20 years ago. Srsly, the only Laurel between here and LA. Anyway, then we were all delighted to find that we got along.

Which is good because this is the wild, wild west and my new buds are all cops, lawyers, or own ranches. Having people you can hide behind is a good thing.

Never had that in da hood........

That is pretty handy. At a regular fighter practice in Nimenefeld, probably when someone new was on the beat, we had some cops show up, checking us out, lots of back-and-forth on their radios.... I was disappointed that they didn't try to make a big deal of it. Would have been fun to see them find out that the guys beating each other over the head included a lawyer, a district attorney, a county sheriff, a head park ranger and an MP.

Sounds like Curtis :)

While at a bookstore Faith was looking at Make magazine, talking about all the cool things they show you how to build. My question? I wonder if they have a sex toy and sex machine edition... Now that would be an entertaining project.

When you're talking about a personal wind turbine in one's garage, who else could it be? Now I'm picturing a sex toy edition of Mythbusters......

That would be entertaining, we should write in and suggest it :)
