Major nerd cred there, Wack. We used to do the brass plaques at Harris, too. I never got one.

In semi-engineering-related news, sometimes you come back to the truck to find that you have a new friend:

Trouble report:

Audio faders 26-29 inop. A raccoon pissed on the mixer.

 

Time to replace the Cat 5 with some Coyote 6a cable to keep the data intact.

 

We were invited to the Valentine's special on a quiz show.
I got to plug both "my" TV shows, and we did pretty good, too...

 

You are getting to be quite the celebrity. Are people hounding you for autographs yet?

 

No autographs yet, but this minor celebrity thing is actually pretty cool.
I get recognized a lot.
Oh, and people want selfies.

 

Its $2 a selfie. That is what you tell people. At least that is what all the famous people do in the US at Cons.

 

Be sure you're standing in the green box if you pull that trick in Times Square. Otherwise it's a ticketable offense.

 

 

 

Here's your ticket to major celebrity things. Just drop this pic in the right producer's "lap" and you'll get your own secret agent series- turkish style.

 

This is true. I have never seen Hakan and James Bond in the same room...

 

"The name's Commie. Godless Commie".

 

My wife was not pleased with the fact that I posted a less than flattering picture of her.
In the name of making it up to her, here is another pic...

Cops couldn't spin this guy out without him recovering at speed!

Don't these idiot cops realize they put everyone in danger when they chase someone like that?
They can just call ahead and close the road - that's what they do over here. No one can outrun the police radio.

Also, I would assume recovering that stolen car should be an objective for law enforcement. What is the point of destroying a theft victim's property?

Trigger happy idiots who have no problem shooting innocent people and household pets. They do get away with it, that's the problem.

 

Agree with Godless Commie here, in Australia they close off the road ahead and use spikes, it's far too dangerous to others using the corner nudge in traffic - a satisfying buzz for the police when they get it right though.

That driver is pretty awesome, recovering from multiple high-speed spins.

With regard to insurance claims, will the insurance company pay out on this given that the car was will-fully damaged by the police in pursuit of the stolen car?
