Victor Should Write a Book

You are first cat!

Thank you.

It was a very good well written article! I enjoyed it!

Spelling counts, huh? Well, that counts me out . . . .

Imagine this generation! They're so dependent on spell-checks, calculators and computers.

Hey, Victor, guess what I found in amongst our hundreds of books???? An old paperback called "Simplifiying the Slideruler" - gee, I had one when I was in grade 9 - sure wish I had it now - I could probably figure out how to use it!

Wow. Never had one. The older engineers at work still used them just a few years ago!

I used to own that book! Well, actually, my mom bought it for me when I was in high school, so many eons ago. I do think, however, that I have forgotten how to use a slide rule by now.

It always looked like fun to me.

Once I had the darned thing 'mastered' in high school, I felt so important showing off my skills to the amazement of the lower classmen.

Sliderulers were scary things. My sister was a whiz with one........didn't help the sibling rivalry any.

I'll bet!

So let us write the epilog
For slipsticks, now a fossil.
Not digital but analog
With cursors made to jostle.
Just dug out mine today and now
I'm feeling like a fool.
Forgotten half the scales somehow
On my log-log sliding rule.

Very nice, Don!

a log-log slide rule - does that calculate in cords?

I'd like a Lincoln log-log slide rule.

Impressive, Don.......again!! How about publishing a collection for us!

If Victor isn't writing a book, maybe he could read one ;^)

I didn't invent Victor but I put him in Sing-sing.

Nah - I think I made the jail thing up in response to a post where someone commented that they had never seen me.

Great wit, Don.

Whoever put Victor in Sing-Sing, the rest of us need to make sure he stays there.

LOL - Good one.

I don't think he (Victor) exists! I think he is a figment of his imagination! Eleanor

I've been trying to tell you all that! That's why no pics, no RU's, etc. It's a mass hypnosis thing started when the media co. bought Dave's.

Victor, are you "Bubble Boy" in real life????? I think I like your prison schtick best of all. I'm sure that isn't spelled correctly, but you get my drift! LOL

Hee hee. Yes, I like the prisoner one myself. Remember that show - The Prisoner? Great one.

No

Me neither. Guess your mass hypnosis isn't working anymore, Victor.

That only works in the present - can't create past experiences - yet.

I don't think that I had a television during those years - I didn't - I was in college!

I don't think I ever saw the TV program, either.

Victor, I was the copper that got you put away. As I remember, you perjured yourself about knowing Martha Stewart

I think Victor should write a book too. Let me know when you find a publisher!

You can use this thread as a forward to the book.

Another Fan,

And Don can write some poetry for publication. Whadya think?

Thank you Gloria! Cat and Candyce - I didn't see the show until years later on re-runs. Not sure I would even like it now. I'm not really into sci-fi. Weird when you see something as an adult that you loved as a kid and think, 'WHAT was I thinking?!!'

Oh yeah.
Remember 'Lost in Space' anyone?
I love it when I was younger. Now, it just looks really odd!!

I still like Green Acres!

and ham!

'Darlin', I love you, but give me Park Avenue!'
My favorite line!
