Message-ID: David to use the advice you have often given, you could use the delete button. Its not as if you and others haven't gone off on tangents on occasion and the rest of the list has tolerated it. Plus the list is quiet today. I have seen this too over the last week or so. But its amusing. Also I thought its nice that for once its not the English, French, Germans etc who are at the wrong end of some light hearted humor! Of course it could be that I'm an English born Canadian that I'm more used to being at the humorous end of jokes...... ;) btw if the above offended, I appologise in advance!

The catalog says it can only be cut with a cutting wheel or carbide jawed cutters, but with the small diameter wire I use, I can cut it with my plain ole everyday side cutters. So, yes. You can cut it to length and glue it. I would recommend wearing eye protection when working with this stuff. Although it has never happened to me, I can certainly forsee the possibility of a small piece of this wire "springing" into my eye while I'm trying to affix it to my model. The one problem I have when working with this wire is that the wire tends to "stick" to my tweezers when I'm working with it. I need to find out how to de-magnetize my tweezers so the wire won't want to stick to it. Any advice on this is most welcomed.

Well, apparently, he (my son) learned after the over-severe admonition I delivered last time. I left him with a nearly full tube of Testors' orange and a Testors SNJ Texan. When I returned from Nostalgic Plastic, where I'd bought the Roseplane SE5a resin thing (more on that later) and a brand new tube of Testors, the Texan was built and the Testors tube I gave him looked like it hadn't even been used.

Message-ID: <3A16E6A8.253C94C9@bellsouth.net> Since it's come up again, I thought I'd offer some thoughts I've been having on how to best settle this election nonsense once and for all; The Jelly Bean Resolution; Fill a jar with jellybeans and each candidate takes one guess at how many beans are in the jar. Closest to the actual number wins. (May require several re-counts) The candidate who gets the highest score on the LEAP test wins. A classic duel to the death with rapier and buckler. (It can't be pistols, Gore probably doesn't know how to use one) The survivor moves to the Whitehouse, and the loser isn't around to complain. Each candidate cuts a deck of cards. High card wins. "Survivor" solution. Drop the candidates off on Pulau Tiga Island and concoct all kinds of bogus challenges, like; Gore and Bush each put a hand on a fake idol and see who lets go first. Here's the good part. Don't ever go back and pick them up. Paper, sissors, rock. Twister Tounement between the two hopeful first families. Last person standing wins. Presidential Smackdown 2000! A WWF sanctioned tag-team match between Gore/Leiberman and Bush/Cheney. Show it on Pay-per-view and all proceeds go toward a tax cut.(this one's my fav).

But DB's ideas were so brilliant, I'd name him chancelor, or regent, or whatever and he could help me rule. However, on Mistress Lorna's suggestion, the national anthem will be "Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch-a, Touch Me", which is in line with my number one campaigne promise to "boink all the cute interns who are interning in The Velvet Palace of Love, formerly know as The Whitehouse."

Incipient Oldtheimers disease. >- new pic of the pilot > standing in front of Pfalz that I don't think I've seen > before. Clearly > shows black line along lower wing LE and engine has a battery > of straight pipe exhausts. I think that the black line is what we'd call a Furphy (a good rumour, but that's about all) It extends over Holtzems sleeve, almost from side to side and then stops. Just guessing but I'm betting it's a pencil line on the surface of the print, possibly put there by some modeller in just the fashion I do when trying to see whether there really is a dihedral (or whatever) as shown in the plans Another explanation is a scratch along the surface of the negative. It's a bit much of a coincidence that it runs along the LE but it's near enough parallel to the edges of the photo. I have personally damaged plenty of 4"x5" film negatives in exactly this fashion by dragging them out of holders which had a bit of grit in the frame. I'm sure it could have happened to this film too whether the negative stock was acetate film or glass plate Anyway - you can all take a guess why the line along the leading edge also runs across the pilots sleeve when *he* is standing in front of the wing. I doubt if many of the answers will convince me to paint a black line on the LE as RLR appears to have done Shane ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and is intended only for the use of the addressee(s).
