Foul !
"We live in a world ruled by fictions: mass merchandising, advertising, politics as advertising, instant translation of science, technology, into popular imagery, increasing blur of identity in realms of consumer goods, preempting any free, original, imaginative, response to experience by the television screen. We live in an enormous novel. For a writer it's less necessary to invent a novel's fictional content: fiction's already there. A writer's task is to invent a reality." J. G. Ballard, 1974

I finished making some middle-ages style headwear for my wide - but for some reason she was upset about it and tore it in half, stormed out.
 
It was a wimple done grand slam torn garment
 
Many apologies.

Upon further reflection, I should have seen this coming. A few years back, I asked for a Cowboys hat for Christmas. Meant NFL. Got a Stetson. Apostrophes, people. Use them wisely.
 
Mom's email- So, what would like for Christmas this year?
 
My reply- Well, I've been wanting to build an AR-15, and could use some stuff. How about 30 rnd magazines, if you can find them?
 
Mom- I'll see what I can find, but are you sure you want 30?
 
Me- Yep, I'd prefer 30 rnd magazines over 10 rnd magazines.
 
Mom- Ok, but it just seems like quite a lot. Love you.
 
....
 
Mom- It was tough to get some of the older issues, but I got 30! Hope the R n' D magazines help! Merry Christmas!!
 
So, does anyone need some extra copies of Popular Science and Popular Mechanics? I have plenty.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

GeneralRe: Always be clear in what you ask for.memberCDP180221 Dec '12 - 13:14 
No Popular Electronics? I would like to have several issues between 1976 and 1981.
 
And forget magazines. Get yourself something that has the ammo on a belt, all in a nice steel box for 500 or 1000. As a bonus, your enemies will need fresh underwear when they just hear the noise that thing makes and let them pray for their only chance of about six or seven seconds if you must change the hot barrel.

You are so right. Last year I ended up with a foot-high piano player Wink | ;)

You'd think with someone as organised as Steve his estate would have been in ship-shape condition and this would not have happened. Maybe someone needs to have astern word with them, put the wind up them so they get all hands on deck, take a different tack and pay up. It's not fair to leave the builders high and dry.
cheers,
