I'm picturing the "wire department guy" as a guy who sits in a small closet full of spools of wire, waiting desperately for someone to need some wire.
Then, when someone finally comes to his closet, he's probably way to excited and creeps them out with his enthusiasm.
"Oh? You need some wire?" he'll say. "Don't worry. I've got you covered! What kind of wire do you need? Stranded or solid? What sort of gauge are you looking for? Do you have any preference with regards to jacketing or insulation? What sort of material? Most people just want copper wire, but I just got some AMAZING fiber optic cable in the other day!"
"Umm... Sorry dude. I was just looking for a broom..."
"Oh... Well... Let me know if you need any wire..."
Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
