Dude! What's the obsession with burlap hoods? Are you in a hangin' mood today? *lol* -da5ve
You work with RiffRaff? -scooby111
Yay for beam tetrodes! High power & no secondary emission characteristic! -lineswine
the improved wav file is very nice. :) I will pass it on. -Bynar
You got a star!! Yay! -Tekkie
I loved those TVs with ultra-sonic remotes... I could change the channel or turn it off or on by jingling my keys. -Brf
Your have a choice for your new password: burlap hood, starfish or gas pipe... you are too damned funny man. I'm LMAO once again.:) -THETECHFROMHELL
"Too many Dee Dees & not enough Dexters" -I LOVE that line and will use it often, always giving you credit. -Avalon68
No racism, even tho i have a shaved head, im not a skinhead. -burrkiss
Would you happen to have any 6550s that you would be interested in selling? I am looking to purchase any non-Soviet/non-Chinese/non-Yugoslavian 6550/KT88 tubes for my home audio amplifier. Thanks in advance, Sam Bennett -audiomagi
Vermin! Dogshit! Blow 'em away! Your loving big brother... -MisterTerrific
thought you would like to hear how jaws pronounces your name, i thought it was funny file will follow -blindtech
Y'know, you have an overactive e-mail filter on the address you use! I can't seem to reply to you without it failing to get through.... -Grue
Vcuum Tubes are great! I just finished my cheap-a$$ one-tube amp, using a 25EH5 from an old record player, using my tube-FM tuner, sitting on top of my Hammarlund HQ140x, along with my test bench full of tube gear... I always get strange looks from the electronics techs 'cause I'm only 17... But tubes can be more fun. My 'lil regenerative set picks as many stations as most superhets out here! Have any tips for someone who needs to build some test equipment? Although it'd be cmos/ttl, I need to build a frequency counter... -renaultguy
I don't get it... what are you doing in the phone booth a eharmony.com? -QuinTech
Hehehe. When I saw the line I just had to use it :) Sarah,root -fearmyroot
Thanks for the Karma! It's very appreciated. -TechOgre
Royko? A -Hoosier- citing Royko??? OMG - it's a miracle! :D -Grue
Good news! I've recently been lucky enough to accquire a WWII ARC-5 command set receiver in mint condition! And, this Saturday I'm going to pick up my very first real Ham transmitter. Now, I just need my licence... Oh well, I've got my eye on a callsign. Perhaps someday I'll show up as VE7YJA! -renaultguy
Oh yeah, one last thing: Horrah! for the 807 (and 1625 [12-volt filament]) Those tough PA tubes can handle everything you threw at them and more! My father remebers running them red hot on CW... and they still wouldn't die! We have an NOS RCA Radiotron 807 mounted in a wood base for display.. just as a tribute to fine engineering. -renaultguy
re: your comment on http://www.techcomedy.com/single/new_stories.php?content_number=45862 WTF is Ball State? -lineswine
I have always wondered whether it would be possible to make a sort of 'integrated circuit' vacuum tube. Basically a flat pan with multiple small tube arrangements with the pins through the bottom and a hermetically sealed lid on top. Push the whole mess into a set of inline contacts (ZIF?) and put a little fan on top. -TieDyedDinosaur
"Shebednigo" i think i must have been out sick for this one. Whas dat then? -Armakuni
Aahaahh... More Leroy Jenkins! Ack! Isn't it wonderful how WoW brings people together... until they find out they play opposite factions, then a fist fight breaks out. -Galandar
That blow up doll comment made me spew soda all over the keyboard and moniter. Thans for the great laugh. -THETECHFROMHELL
Hail, vacuumtubes! I'm new to TSC; happened across your nick. It's good to see that some people out there still get turned on by a space-charge. I don't really work with tubes, but one of my oscilloscopes is an old Bell & Howell that puts off a beautifull glow. I don't think I'll ever have the heart to part with it. -Voltage
Hey VT - got some tubes n' stuff you might be interested in - w/b me your email addy... -Ulfgaard
is that a honkeydonk padonkadonk? :) I love that song -neuman1812
Hehe... good 'ol sweep tubes... I have a hybrid Yaesu that uses two of 'em for finals.... -renaultguy
Don't You Just Love Being In Fuckstain? Compliments of the ad slogan generator. -THETECHFROMHELL
Congratulations! Hope all continues to go well for you and MrsVT and Babygirl. -Mahal
Congrats on the delivery of the new life-form! *raises glass* Here's to hoping the new family unit are all doing well. -wolfprince
All kinds of congratulations for you and your family! -Mango
Congratulations VT! I'm sure everything will be AOK. -beatmewithstick
Congratulations and best of luck with the tinytube - Divinar 2.0 was 9 lbs, I can only imagine how tiny your little one is - keep us posted, and pictures when you get a chance? -Divinar
Congratulations! Health karma on the way for Mrs. VT and Tubelet. -slowANDeasy
Congrats! Here's to good health and fortune to you and yours! -Zayda
Congrats to you, mrs VT and VTjr :D good news indeed -Jax
"I read the news today, old boy..." <g> Huge Congrats!!! -MadJack
VT: actually it is both you and Riff that are the bad influences. Everytime one of you posts a EUPOTD, my life will host that damn phrase within the next year. -Chipsterian
Congrats on the shiny new star! -NOFXfan
Star looks wonderful. -Rabbitt
"Redrum". That was just perfect. I was already laughing at Tekkie's post, when I reached your comment. I didn't fall of the chair only thanks to the seatbelts. <Yes seatbelts. Yes, that's why I installed them.> -TheGhost
Just left of the center there's the record catalog number 'CS 9138' and a quick google returns that it's the album 'Dear Heart' by Andy Williams -maciarc
Mapquest for Fucknuggets. I've GOT to use that tomorrow. Royalty fee? -beatmewithstick
Saw this on Fark, thought you might like it: http://www.ntcn.jp/img/page3/7408.jpg -CTYankee
OK, I'm new here, but what/who exactly is Otis ?!? -EtherRabbit
VT, do you need a vacation? OK, stupid question. You've been madder than usual lately, is it something specific or do you just need some extra venting? -ManyHats
VT - I got some *really* old radio schematics and manuals... you interested? email or whiteboard me! -Ulfgaard
VT If my memory serves, your big into antiaque radios. If you are, I have a antique coming from a passed relative from NJ, you might be able to tell me what its worth, andor if you want it. If you arnt into radios, just send me a naked pic of you with a cheeseburger. -burrkiss
Good luck and a speedy recovery to you, my tech brutha. Hopefully I'll be able to post a story that will keep you in stitches..er...no pun intended =) -beerman
LOL @ Queer Eye for the Fucknugget. -concept14
Thanks for the nomination! =) It was my first real LART. I feel I did when I lost my virginity. -beerman
VT you are on a roll today with the comments, I am sitting her wiping food off the moniter and laughing so hard that I nearly pissed my pants. -THETECHFROMHELL
Good looking star there VT. -Rabbitt

http://www.techcomedy.com/single/new_stories.php?content_number=76009 Sorry Bill, it just seemed SOOO appropriate! -lineswine
Nice butt! -evolvedstarfish
vt, if I ever drop by for a visit, I'd really love to see some of those radios. I don't know how delicate they are, but it would be truly awesome to see one. BTW, in tech calls volume 2, where the short horn clip plays, was that where you're having a screaming fit? :D BTW, do you have that clip anymore? -AdmiralLaurie
Sometimes I wonder if you work for my company... Our competitors seem to be identical, our customers appear to have an identical level of intelligence (starfish of course) and regularly engage in temper tantrums about things that are not our fault. -Noncompliant
Sometimes you just want the wistle to go WOOO WHOOOP!!!! -burrkiss
If you got the weasel's name, send it to me and I'll see if I can get someone's heinie raked over the coals for you. -PerkyCecilia
""Wha's that thar cameraman a'doin'?" "He's gonna focus." "....Bof' us?" You first VT -burrkiss
Hey VT check out this link. http://www.craigslist.org/about/best/den/1442777790.html I can't believe that there is another person using the same words that you created only he spelled it differently. LOL -THETECHFROMHELL
Heya! I got a battery/electrical supply question for you. Email me at exzyle2k@gmail.com when you've got a spare moment if you could! -exzyle2k
Heh. AGVN just used the word "fucknugget" in his latest video. I think someone owes you a quarter. -linkv
