In one of your posts about one of your dates, you said a guy took you out on a date and only took you to a VFW, Legion, or similar type club. You said it was a boring date or the guy did nothing for you. It was soon after I posted something on one of the threads you posted on and the thread was about what women want in a man/dates.
Although I don't really know your whole personality, likes, dis-likes to any real deep level, I can joke around with you when I add the "cheap guy image" to my posts. To me, it kind of makes what I write look like (my image, to other people and maybe you too) something that is not going to happen or who would take Lou seriously.
I over do the chit chat with you and then throw in some imaginary fault I have, like only going to the VFW or similar cheap date site, and mostly just drinking a diet soda. That way if I go overboard in some area or topic, I want anyone reading my post to you, to have a little bit of "O right (negative), is this guy serious" moments.
Short version, it makes joking with you safer for me and hopefully for you too.
To other posters here on SSM, on many of the primary forums Jill post on, the more outragious, funny things your post, the more you are part of that group. I kept posting some serious things (maybe too whiney or cemarish) and Jill suggested I was being a drag and attacking their ideas or the posters on her thread. She asked me to stop posting on their thread so I did. I was trying to change some of my MO's with BB to be more attractive and looking for and giving my opinions.
Later Jill posted on my thread and had what I would call emathy for what I was writing about in my situation. I took some of Jills advice (especially with her) and started to kid around more.
Hairdog has me beat by a long shot in the kidding dept. but being serious is alright with me.
I don't watch a lot of movies but will have to be more aware and look for the reference "the caterpillar" drive.
I like many science fiction movies untill I learn some of the scenes are so off base from the laws of physics.
Star Wars was good, but turns in space that don't involve gravity and mass and doppler effect sounds? Come on. It did make the movie more exciting.
2001, A Space Odyssey was not as exciting but the EVA activities were most likely more realistic.
Quote: --"Engage caterpillar and secure main engines!" Of course, there are also times when it's necessary to uncrank the main engines and steam "all ahead full"...and the hallmark of a good and tactically-astute skipper is to know when each is appropriate.
I KWUM. When to with hold and when to ask and when to take and when to give?? To be or not to be is easier.
Quote: I had forgotten all about that arj. Good memory!!!
One of my specialties, chromosphere...remembering little bits of information and tossing them in here and there.

Hair, I would stop and see you at your house if I was driving. I want one of those puddings. We could set up a test.
You could say "Lou help yourself to anything in the frig and then I would take 2 puddings while MS HD was looking just to see if could keep a straight face.
Nope, better not touch the puddings. We might need an obstinate earthen dam to hold back our laughter. I am not experienced at pulling off practical jokes at someone elses expence.
Not dissing Ms. HD either but had to write what was in my mind. I had a quick mental picture of Ms HD thinking "what is with this old country dude, going in my frig and taking D4's pudding."
Hay, a guy has to have some fun even if it is only the mental type.
You have me beat with that throwing something Lil's way and breaking her window. That was a good one.
"2001, A Space Odyssey was not as exciting but the EVA activities were most likely more realistic."
YES! The scene where HAL controls the pod to knock the guy out into space was MUCH creepier because there was no sound, as it would be in the near-vacuum of interplanetary space.

Re chromosphere Try this one out (meant to add it to previous post): http://science.nasa.gov/ssl/pad/solar/the_key. Good simple site and very simple explanations about MHD and other solar weather effects. Thanks for the link. I can imagine there is lots more to the MHD aspect of the sun.
Montana and Wyoming have lots of coal and MHD based electricity generation is on the news once in a while.
