I AM THE DIDJERIDOO MASTER ~ LET ME PLAY YOU THE SONG OF MY PEOPLE

4. 7 or 11?

On the first roll it doesn't matter, both numbers are good, you double your pass line bet. But on point rolls, you only want 11s. In fact, don't even say the first number at the table. Some people find it to be bad luck.

5. What do you put in your coffee apart from a spoon?

Half and Half, no sugar. And not the ultra-pasteurized. My nose picks up a sulphur scent from that stuff.

8. Which word do you most enjoy mis-saying or mis-pronouncing?

I pronounce "root" as if it rhymes with "foot". An instructor I had 34 years ago said it like that, and I thought it was funny. But since then I could not stop. ("root" is the administrative account under Linux/Unix)

I also pronounce "berry" as if it rhymes with "hurry". And all the associates, strawburry, blueburry, etc.

I also pronounce the "p" in raspburry.

As far as Home Despot goes, the name is, "Home de Pot".

9. What have you most enjoyed about the year so far?

Corporate job is still working out well!

10. How are your legs positioned RFN?

Welding

[lumberjim]

That's a good one too. Good question. Where and when are these classes?

[xoxoxoBruce]

All over but none are free.

[monster]

So BajaBoy is employed by U of M as a welding trainer and has his own welder and table, and I can teach you to throw a pot. When are all y'all arriving for the house party?

Then you gotta learn to flashdance.

[xoxoxoBruce]

There's Arc welding, Torch welding, TIG welding, MIG welding, Tack welding, Spot welding and Electron Beam welding. Each of those specialties has sub specialties, and that's without getting into complications like overhead and under water shit. It's not a simple craft.

[Undertoad]

I have always been told that if you can weld and pass drug tests that you can make big moneh

apparently there are a lot of people who can do one but not both

scarily true, I reckon. I suspect the reason my grocery store doesn't drug screen for employment -even though they reserve the right to- is because they'd have no frickin' employees. Except me They recently trained all the managers how to do a gob-swab for when employees are suspected of being off their trolley on the job. They used to babysit them and then frogmarch them down to the place where LGBoi had to go, but now I think that's reserved for the drunks, who usually just admit it. I'm pretty sure that out of nearly 100 employees, there are less than a dozen of us who can still drink
