You should get ten points added just for your Tata post. I went from over 3000 to 439, and most of those seem to be Atomic Toaster comments. Yep. Weird.

My Metro has an empty fuse slot. When the Check Engine light comes on, I stick a fuse in there and one of the dash lights blinks out the trouble codes.

Yeah. Sorta wish they'd gone with another shade of blue/purple instead of the pink. The rest of the bike--the headers, especially--help me forget it, though.

Earlier attempts at the photograph resulted in multiple concussions and a new alternate meaning for the phrase "head-on collision". When Wilhelmina, the student intern, suggested they take the picture with stationary cars instead of moving ones, the art director fired the project manager on the spot and gave the job to the Wilhy.

Well, Britten's "factory" produced something like ten bikes total. But those were ten totally bitchin' bikes. And they looked amazing. <img src="http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/40/Britten_V1000.jpg" width=450>

Atomic Toasters : User Input: Pride and Praise

Yep. Always get comments on my knives, most of them of the freaked-out sort. This is my usual pocket weight, a CRKT M16-14Z. It's 9 inches long, 1-1/4" tall and opens switchblade fast with a heavy metallic snick. It helps, in the office environment I spend most of my time in, to remind everyone every now and again that I'm a bit of a savage. <img src="https://www.copsplus.com/products/large/cr-m16-14.jpg"> My daughter was out in my garage with me a while back, just hanging out with me while I tidied up. She kept finding knives stashed everywhere, just about my head height, on shelves all around the place. Her comment as she pulled down the fifth, a Fairbairn–Sykes: "Holy crap, Dad! Are you some kind of ninja?"

I've gone through three editions of Uncle John's Bathroom Reader. Great stuff. Like a big book of Atomic Toasters articles.

Nice. Both remind me of this xkcd gem: <img src="http://imgs.xkcd.com/comics/circuit_diagram.png" width=500> http://xkcd.com/730/ Simple electrical I get. Electronics, not so much. I sorta like parts big enough that I can see them and understand what's going on mechanically.

First time I ever saw this place was in an episode of Airwolf, 1984ish. I never forgot it, and every time I see it I start humming the show's theme song.
