I'd like to see you (or anyone) try to lick a badger once!

 

[Mr. Vern]

Badgers?!?

WE DON'T NEED NO STINKING BADGERS!!

Oh shoot, it didn't get the whole meme.

Here is more context

Go crazy with it.

Fascinating. I gave it a try and typed in "It's never easy to eat water" and here's what I got:
AI Overview

The saying "It's never easy to eat water" highlights that drinking excessive amounts of water can be a burden on the body due to its frequent need to eliminate the extra fluid. This phrase is often used in the context of encouraging people to prioritize eating hydrating foods, as these provide water more slowly and efficiently, leading to better overall hydration.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• The burden of excessive water intake:
  Drinking large quantities of water can lead to frequent urination, which can be inconvenient.
  
  
• The benefits of "eating your water":
  Foods with high water content, like fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens, allow the body to absorb water more slowly and efficiently. This sustained hydration helps to maintain optimal hydration levels without the frequent trips to the bathroom associated with drinking large amounts of water.

FRACKING Reavers would add another reference to the mix

I know I would have laughed really hard at this when I was younger.

The trick of course is to find that person where you have the same phase and with whom you have very little mutual signal rejection.

Gotta love this one after a career in the electronics industry, and a summer job at Tektronix ("Oscilloscopes are Us" at the time.)

Very funny, but I have never met an electrical engineer who can look up long enough to actually receive a signal when in the presence of a woman!

 

[day_trippr]

As a practising EE from 1973 through 2019, I received a signal from a feminine source at least once - resulted in a now 48 year latch-up.

There was no reset pin...

Cheers!

I love my 465B!

[day_trippr]

Ah, nostalgia!

Once upon a time this was my daily driver. Predates the meter backpack of the 465B so I had to pack a Fluke as well. When the company I worked for back then got taken over the deposed president told me to hold onto it.

That blue thingie with the probe tip socket was used for 'scoping the ends of IBM mainframe controlled impedance cables (called "trileads") which had three paralleled conductors with the outside pair being grounds. You'd stab the back of the cable termination from the wire side and it'd pick up a ground and the signal. They cost $149 each (back in the late 70s/early 80s) so I was tight fingered with mine (I think I still have a half dozen around here somewhere).

I hadn't powered this beast up in awhile but it still works and is actually sharp (my camera, not so much)...

Cheers!
