Rolf,

I know you mean well but your obviously a "marketing" guy, any geek knows that when the computer is turned on and there is a beep and its says error 0175 stops with that message as the last line that the frizzlator has a low battery.The zinkle valve would have caused the PC to beep 27 times, stop for 1 milisecond and repeat three times before blowing a cloud of toxic smoke into the room.

You are very observant and quite correct when you say i`m obviously a marketing guy. To be frank I looked up the error message on Microsoft`s website and that`s the answer they came back with. In saying that it was my understanding that the zinkle valve is connected allbeit indirectly to the main lower nudge-sprocket which as you are aware protects the computer`s invisble shield from overloading and going into immediate and utter tremorteror meltdown. Of course I could be totally wrong but that`s my educated guess anyway.
P.S. Without sounding offensive did you use to call yourself Arnie until Hollywood Arnie came along? Just a thought.
The reason I mention this is because my Surname was Harris until I changed my name by deed-poll.

Rolf,


You must have gotten some out of date information, as the main lower nudge-sprocket is no longer used in new computers, instead it has been replaced with a lefthanded ratcheting deadmans switch. The pawl of the main lower nudge-sprocket was prone to cracking and becoming jammed which caused many a invisble shield to go into immediate and utter tremorteror meltdown with the associated loss of life to anyone within 2 Km. There are still many problems with the zinkle valve’s especially the ones from China.

Of course all this is moot if the PC is running UNIX as the internal Kernel ignores all warning flags from the main processor. Frankly these things scare the hell out of me and as a measure of safety I tele-commute from several Kilometers away and only use the phone to call in and ask about when my pay will arrive.

As to you question re: Arnie, in fact I did change my name some time ago, it used to be Harold Obenhouser.

Arnie
Thank you for putting me right on that also. Actually as I understand it on some later cheaper pc`s they did in fact install lower nudge-sprockets and the lefthanded ratcheting deadmans switch only came into play after a couple of OAP`s brought lawsuits against the computer manufacturer Ding Electronics. Their sister company Dell Electronics bailed them out settling out of court and paying the old-folk in question a derisory but unspecified amount some years later.
You are also correct when you say that "the pawl of the main lower nudge-sprocket was prone to cracking and becoming jammed" but this was resolved by the tech guys at Ding by replacing the lower nudge-sprocket with a plastic square tube rachetted in the middrift to allow for any electro-magnetic fallout among the nearby RAM and neighbouring diotic membrania. Anyway I hope this has cleared things up.
All the best Arnie.. aka Harold Obenhouser.

Rolf,

How fascinating, I had no idea you were also a goat herder like myself. I have a herd of Myotonic goats, these please me very much and when I get bored I just sneak up behind them and clap my hands. Flop they all go down and twitch on the ground.

What breed of goats do you herd?

It is indeed a very small world. I`ve been farming a very obscure breed of goat called "Pygmy Robustus."
As the name suggests the pygmy robustus is a very hardy animal and can be left out in all weathers and in fact revels in high level hurricane weather storm force 9.

Because the little beauties are so tiny (average adult stands at 2.6 goat-hands at the shoulder) they have the ability to hide in rock crevesses and other nooks and crannies that other goats would`nt be able to even get their
goatee beards into:-).

The pygmy robustus is a great delacassy in Mevagissey where the locals can quite often be seen munching to their hearts delight on the poor little devils. Obversley, because of their devil-like features and horned-heads, the goats in question are considered as being merchants of doom by the people of Papa New Guinee and are beaten with giant leaves of the cocoplopper tree until they are banished from their villages.

Are Myotonic goats very tall?

Regards
Rolf

Rolf,

Small world indeed, I have been researching Pygmy Robustus for quite some time now. I thought that a cross between my Myotonic goats and Pygmy Robustus would provide a lap sized goat that fainted often, was hated by the people of Papa New Guinea and was also good sport for beatings with giant leaves of the cocoplopper tree would be a huge success. In addition your news of the Mevagissey having such an appetite for said goats, what could be better than a breed that would fall down and make catching them easier.

As all I have at this moment are doe’s (the bucks succumbed to a lorry last week) I was wondering if you could perhaps "milk" some of your bucks, pack it in dry ice and send it round? I would of course be willing to let you have half of the kids from this enterprise and we could pick up a good chunk of money after they are fattened up.

Harold,

I do apologise for the delay in getting back to you but my mother-in-law blew a gasket yesterday evening and we had to call out the alternative AA.

I was very interested to hear that you have been doing research into pygmy robustus and would be pleased to know your findings?

What a wonderful idea, to cross Myotonic goats and Pygmy Robustus. I have an excellent sire in mind, Trevor has already covered 96 pygmy robustus mares and to date in total we have 345 little ones. I can supply stilts with Trevor if required and also the relevant extra strength goat viagra.
I`ve tried it myself (purely for research purposes you will understand) and the wife, her sisters, and mother-in-law would be testemant to the fact that I was up all night!

The wife has offered to knit woolly jerkins for the offspring, so that when they stumble over, their injuries will be kept to a bare minimum. Please see below some ideas I would like to put forward as suitable names for this superb new breed of goat.

(1)
Pygmy Myotonic (obvious but holds a certain charm)
(2)
Titchy Twithchy (my favourite:-)
(3)
Mevagissey Squealer
(4)
Mevagissey Munchbreak
(5)
Mevagissey Turkey
(6)
Little Big Horn

Please let me know if you think any of the above names are worthy or even better if you have any suggestions yourself I would be very interested to learn more.

Regards
Rolf Hook

Rolf,

Sorry to hear about your Mum-in-law, mine is a teetotaler however she does get into the opium from time to time and it causes some problems. Your Trevor sounds like just the answer to sire my doe’s. I really didn’t know there was a goat viagra and extra strength at that.

I would think it may be dangerous to have Trevor on stilts however, as in his excitement I would fear for his safety. Perhaps we could arrange a little step stool if necessary or dig a shallow trench to lead the doe’s through. The name Titchy Twithchy is fine with me although Mevagissey Munchbreak also has a ring to it.

I don’t know if you saw the advert for goats wanted posted, as it would be too late now to breed my doe’s in time for October’s event you may want to contact them and sell some of yours. I suppose you might somehow blind them and fetch a better price.

Tell your wife the idea for woolly jerkins is ideal, looking forward to Trevor’s visit and launching the new breed.


Harold Obenhouser
