Mostly complete Mindstorms that retailed for over $200 ca. 2002 but now obsolete.

Fully functional electrics and electronics but missing the serial cable to the IR interface. I imagine it was still attached to whatever Dell desktop on the way to the recycler. I have one spare.

White 2x4 brick was unexpected. It's very likely from a 1969 set.

A little sunburnt.

A few bite marks.

Clear bottom with black inserts is unique to the original set.

Everything you need to know about this Republic picture is here:

The least ridiculous aspect (and there are scores) of this movie is that Keye Luke is assigned the McGarrett-like role:

Philip Ahn is featured throughout:

The only vehicle of note is a beaut:

Yes, that is Elsa Lanchester and yes, she is a hack that cracks wise ... and in one of eleven thousand lines of pointless exposition we discover that she was a school teacher in Wisconsin.

The only reason to watch this mess. Jesse White is a loathsome drunk and would-be rapist. He's also incompetent at his job which is to be a goon, which is why Ahn threatens to kill him with a coffee pot.

But is reminded that he will have to clean it up himself.

Funny from an old e-mail

2011-01-20T13:51:00.000-08:00

The quotes (probably from Wikipedia) crack me up.

"The cocoa industry is dominated by three chocolate makers, Barry
Callebaut, Cargill and Archer Daniels Midland Company."

further:

"In Finnish, the candies are usually called salmiakki, although this
can also refer to other products containing ammonium chloride. The
terms salmiakkimakeinen (salmiac candy) or salmiakkilakritsi (salmiac
liquorice) are also sometimes used. For pure ammonium chloride, the
term raakasalmiakki (raaka = raw) can be used, if necessary.
It is also often used as a salty treat for various pets like horses
and monkeys."

I conclude that the Finns are best capable of naming confections and I
wish that they had been on hand when truffles was appropriated for the
confection and ditto ganache, which is even more confusing. Ganache,
meaning jowl, but understood to mean fool in the always wide context
of Frankish insult, is not to be confused with fool, as in the dessert
like a trifle, no, not a truffle! Damn it!

Apparently Facebook, Blogger, Twitter, etc do not really play very well together. I thought it would be swell if my Facebook status updates could be rendered as Blogger posts, but there does not seem to be a way to that.
I created a Twitter account (which I have been resisting as unneeded) and there seems to be a similar one-way situation.
So yes, this post is a test.
