Figured if I had to have a PC in my living room, it needed to look cool, and be quiet. As far as I know, I was the only person with one that looked like that lol
It's now in Uncle's single malt man cave.

That is very cool. What kind of oil?

[SteamWolf]

It's a light medical oil called Ondina. Canola or even olive oil can be used, but I know Ondina is used in HV transformers and electric motors so figured it would be safe. Also, it is almost completely transparent unlike vege oils.

I shut down Black Flag in 1986 at an outdoor show at University of Oregon. I warned the sound man three times that it was too loud. Last time I told him to pull the plug. I was terrified that we would have a riot. Nope. Just a bunch of punks walking away. Didn't even yell.

I saw Rollins and the rest of the band get tossed into the Paddy Wagon outside the old church in Hermosa.....sitting on my balcony with a beer and spleef laughing my ass off.

I scratched my butt.. No one else has ever scratched my butt, nor ever will I reckon.

When I was in high school, I asked a friend if I could borrow a pencil. He flung one in my direction at a fairly high rate of speed. I missed it. The pencil bounced off my chest and fell to the floor. Our school was old and had the standard tan, linoleum square tiles of the day. The pencil fell and landed standing straight up and down with its point in the intersection of four of the floor tiles.

We all freaked out a bit. What are the odds of a pencil landing on its point standing straight up and down??? After staring at it for a few minutes I got down in the floor and barely touched the side of the pencil. It immediately fell over. We spent the next 10 minutes trying our best to manually stand a pencil on its end between the floor tiles. We couldn't do it.

It is my humble opinion that they significantly over-reacted to the issue with my DoD credentials.

Ha, it can be quite a laugh getting escorted off after the even I mean. When I was a teen the thing to do amoung our circle of drinking buddies was to go into large organisation's lunch rooms/cafeterias and buy lunch, sit down and enjoy it pretending you worked there. I'd done it lots of times IBM, Telecom, Railways, the list goes on. BUT when I was in NY I thought I'd go to Pan Am's and enjoy lunch then take a photo out the window down Park Ave and that would have been my big one. Umm, a plain clothes security guy slid in next to me and said "What are you doing here?" I said "meeting my girlfriend for lunch and carried on." Not so good, he said "No you're not, come with me." and saw he me off the premises.

Some great stories here.

I once got rufied by a gay dude, figured out what happened and ran to the bar across the street. It was a strip club. I woke up on the floor of the place in the morning. My credit card had 3 grand worth of charges on it... Must have been a fun night. Wish I could remember it.

I have a similar job where the armed guards and 20' fences topped with razor wire are there to keep people out, not in. That's all I can say about that.

On a lighter note; I once shook the hand of a man who was 2' taller than me and weighed three times what I did at the time. It was Andre' the Giant. He was 7'4" and weight 450 pounds.

I don't think I've done anything unique... But I've done some extraordinary stuff.

Probably the most special was 9 months in Namibia with the UN.
Helped some locals as a medic and did some risky stuff that scares me now when I think about it... Crazy times
