Bruce was at dinner??? His first time back and I wans't there *AND* he pissed
off Janey???
I hate it when I miss things!!!
Bruce--seriously--don't piss off the womenfolk! It's not as if our geeky crowd
attracts that many members of the opposite sex to begin with--we don't need you
to push away the ones that actually, you know, like hanging around us.
And what's this dissing things that aren't robots? I'm told that i'm a prety
good 'bot builder but I don't limit myself to all things RCX! It's a *LEGO*
hobby--and I love all that the little plastic brick entails (even the naughty
bits found over on jLug but won't be mentinoned here for fear of the 'morality
police' coming down on the operation)
Anyway, off to build a 'gentlemanly robot', who will open doors for the fairer
sex and kick heinies of those that aren't polite.
