America: A Nation of Certifiable Morons

I have the entire Futurama series on DVD. :)

Moon v2.0?

Or display their true identity, always hiding behind a nom de plume.

But I guess that's what cowards do. ...Jim Thompson

I'm looking for work... see my website.

Thinking outside the box...producing elegant & economic solutions.

We have tree up at the cabin that was bent 90 degrees, basically horizontal, by last winter's massive snowfall. Mo names all her trees, so we call that one Bender.

Even worse, some people don't even use their real names.

As are short measure US gallons that have planes falling out of the sky.

It must be really tough though if you are actually called John Doe in the USA - or is this name strictly reserved for unidentified stiffs now?

It is another arcane archaic custom that the US keeps going that was abandoned in the UK way back in 1852 and mocked since (at least) 1834.

So, she's branching out into humor? ;-)

Futurama doesn't seem to get quite as much exposure here as the Simpsons or Family Guy and American Dad which is a pity, as I think I could get into that (I believe it's from Matt Groening's stable so should be worth a watch). American cartoons have always been the best in the world by a million miles. Terrific humour.

My response was "in general", but why the need for a nom de plume on an engineering group? ...Jim Thompson

Oh. Good one.

Here's Bender, partially recovered, with a 2x4 pushing it up.

I wonder if pushing a tree towards upright makes it better or worse.

Yes, it's a disgrace. Someone really should put a stop to it.

Probably helps. It might recover, or just the "upper" part might return to vertical. I've seen a number of trees around here with such shapes, bent over due to wind storms. ...Jim Thompson

That would depend on the tree. I have a Palm tree growing almost horizontal, out of a shaded corner of my lot.

It looks like that tree of yours is reaching for sunlight, as well.

It will never recover. And you say it's been that way almost half a year? The fibers on the compression side will tear before it allows you straighten it.

How silly; everyone knows we go around the moon!

It got bent almost 90 degrees without breaking.

I don't see old bent trees up there. Either they straighten themselves or they die.

We're pulling on it pretty hard, but it's sort of fighting us. It must like leaning over.

million miles. Terrific humour. "

One thing you might try to get is Knighty Knight Bugs. I got it off P2P. It is great.

I remember as a kid we used to watch the coyote and road runner which had n o sound. Well at least dialogue. It had sound effects though. It is just th at the characters did not talk. I could ever seem to get any of those, perh aps nobody ever ripped them. I got the one where the coyote builds a huge r emote controlled robot.

There is so much out there you just can't get. But watching them did not ma ke me stupid.

Without that coyote as its best customer, the Acme Corporation would probably have gone out of business.
