That's neat but I'd rather have a real one to play with.

For all of us in the cubicle world....don't you love the guy in the cube next door that does all of his conference calls on a speaker phone, full volume? Yeah, you. Here's a micro mortar in the neck for you, buddy.

I worked with a guy at USASOC who thought that everyone shared his love for gay 70s and 80s hits.

Had a huge personal speaker system hooked up to his government computer.

He would turn it on high volume and leave the room for extended periods.

Nothing like trying to have a meeting with visitors from higher HQs while David Gates and Bread's Greatest Hits are playing at volume 11 in the background.

David Gates and Bread were gay!?!?! They made great "make out" (and more) music for those of us in the 70's!

Doesn't this disclosure fall under DADT?

I need some FOG help here, but that reminds me of something I bought from an ad in a comic book as a kid. It was a small pistol that fired primers...unless I'm remembering a dream. It had a key-chain on it.

PSM,

You're not that old. I had a little pistol just like the one that you described complete with keychain but it fired those little red plastic blanks and not primers. Loud as hell for it's size. Didn't buy it from a comic book but got it from a souvenior shop somewhere.

Submarines? Sea Monkeys? Hell, I sent for the "X-Ray" glasses!

And... the chicks dug David Gates and Bread! Put their music on in your "pad" - decked out like "Otter's" in "Animal House" - and you were "in"! I swear.
