Gettin' my geek on.
Borepatch touches on Percival Lowell, General Eisenhower, the Domesday Book, and John Carter of Mars, all in one fabulous post, immediately vaulting way the heck up my list of "Bloggers With Whom I'd Like To Have A Beer."

Since the other researcher's conditions might differ from those of the present experiment in unknown ways, differences in the outcome might have no relation to the independent variable under consideration}
I'd love to buy a round or three. And I second Jay's comment - if you ever wanted to stop by the Northeast Gunbloggers blogshoot, we could invade Canada or something!
You're more than welcome to come out our way to collect on that beer, Tam... :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yeah. Borepatch is, as we like to say out heah, "one right smaht bahstid"...

ReplyDeleteShush. I have to tune my bamboo radio to make the planes come with my rainbow-farting unicorns.

ReplyDeleteThank you for the link. I will visit Borepatch more often.
ReplyDeleteWe didn't get a beer, but I did have lunch with Borepatch today.
ReplyDeleteLike Jay G said, Borepatch IS one smaht bahstid. I'm thinking "best new(er) blogger award" material.
ReplyDeleteNow, JG & BP, let's get workin' on her to get to the next NEBS (that's Blog Shoot, not something else...well, mebbe not).
doubletrouble - imagine, if you will, getting Paul and Tam in the same place at the same time.
ReplyDeletePure gunnie bliss...
