Is There Engraving Machine Anonymous?

And don't get me started on how bad a look being white, completely bald, and without any facial hair is. Black guys can pull that off, but whitey, grow a beard, okay?

(Now how's that for subject drift?)

Hey, don't be taking shots at hairy guys!
 
Honestly? And don't get me started on how bad a look being white, completely bald, and without any facial hair is. Black guys can pull that off, but whitey, grow a beard, okay

You misunderstand - it's a shot at the cue-balls. I'm bald, but rock the "Santa look".

I was just having fun!

But I rock the Santa Look with or without the hat. I let my hair and beard grow every Christmas. I'll send you a PM!
 
I love telling stories.

One year I was playing Santa for my wife's skating club. A hundred kids and a few mom's were lined up waiting for their turn to sit on my knee. This little girl came up and asked if I could bring her a kitty cat. I said I couldn't promise that but would see if her parents were ok with it. Next up was a little boy who wanted a puppy. I asked why he wanted a puppy. He looked me in the eye and said "cuz I want it to eat my sisters Fugging cat!

A while later a little boy was just wild. He sat on my lap and proudly pronounced that I was a fake. I was already on edge but he was faster than me. He stabbed at my beard and tried to yank it off. It was attached. Should have seen his attitude change!

One year I was flying to Ottawa. A mom and her little girl walked past me. The girl stopped and said "where are you going"? I said Ottawa. She said, Is that near the north pole? I laughed, and told her they had a lot of snow there. She went and sat down. After we took off she came back and pulled at my arm and asked if she could sit with me. I looked at her mom who nodded her approval. What a sweet little girl. She never once asked for anything for herself - just things for her family. We talked till it was time to land.

I get asked about being Santa regularly even when I don't have a full beard.
 
We should have a ranking system for topic diversion. How did this go from my uncontrollable urge to buy engraving machines to becoming a discussion of Jeff Bezos, white guys without beards, Telly Savalas, and Santa Claus?

Nobody brought up torque wrenches, their dogs, nautical rules or the metric system. I'd say this was fairly tame topic drift

Whelp....... from what I gather the calibration of your torque wrench differs depending on whether you are on the port or starboard side of the shipping lanes but only on the Newton meter side of the scale when the black dog chases its tail...... 😛


.... you don't make anything easy do ya Dave 🙄

As long as you remember mercury is perfectly safe to handle on the starboard tack, and if your Australian shepherd is in the bow for port tacks, the foot pounds torque wrench must yield to an inch pounds torque wrench going upstream. Add in the ferry with the cannon is legal to run over sailboats, and lathes don't get sold with tail stocks but Santa Claus will gift you a new tail stock if you sit on his lap. Not to muddy the water but only true machinists use the Kelvin scale for temperature, anything else is shenanigans 🙄

I wasn't around then, but the stories from family members travelling overseas during those years have determined they lie like an old rug 😀

I like the saying, "nobody was born old", everyone had their youth and time shouldn't judge

I'm just impressed they'll bald face lie about it 😀
