I’m not sure I want to hear one exciting $6M Man Christmas adventure let alone four involving astronaut Steve Austin/ Lee Majors. I wonder about people who purchased it in 1978… How many times did they listen to it before they understood the plots to all four adventures and relegated it to the 25¢ pile at the flea market?
Fortunately for all of us, it’s still available here, and it’s very likely it’s in mint condition for obvious reasons.
Maybe we can all chip in and have Steve Austin Open Mic Night in the rec room sometime between now and never on The Overnight Open Thread.

Santa Claus. A man barely alive. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world’s first bionic man. Santa Claus will be that man. Better than he was before. Better…stronger…faster.

The best Six Million Dollar Man episode in my recollection was the one where some sort of robotic tank with an all-seeing LED eye was tracking Steve Austin. I can’t remember the plot or anything else at all but do recall being on the edge of my seat watching that episode. I think it was a two-parter with a cliffhanger, if memory serves.

its a question of economics, hospital can pay a nursing assistant $10/hr to do the hygene and routine or, they can pay an rn $25 to do it which would lower the ammount of patients that that rn could handle from 6 down to about 2 or 3…multiply that out…that is why there are assistants.

it is a high performance toilet. maybe i can rent wind tunnel time in the head?
@ The Osprey:
The thing is…being a Transylvania Saxon of German descent, my Dad’s side of the family would bitch if you called them German. They considered themselves Austrian…because of the divide of the dual monarchy. Being called German pissed them off, even though they were. Maybe they wanted to distance themselves from German = Nazi?
@ Calo:
Lotsa interesting people out there with that name. lol

Because the payoff will be worth it.

I think the government should give you some money for that potty

Austria Hungary. It is sooo friggin confusing over there. I have immigration papers from some relatives on both sides. The Croatian relatives at times were considered Hungarian even. It’s all frakked up. I have the papers from my great grandfather denouncing his allegiance to King………..shit, I can’t remember. I would have to dig out the papers.

@ NoThreat2U:
There would be a lot of people on sites like ancestry.com that would be interested in that stuff. My sister has been looking into our ancestors and she said a lot of times you’ll cross paths with people interested in the same person.

@ mjazz:
I did have a membership there. I found some information but not very much. In fact, I was shocked at how little info I could find. Now I did have an aunt, my grandpap’s sister in law, who researched the whole family. The file use to be available at the Country genealogical society. The whole file is now gone. The family doesn’t like to share the info for some reason. There aren’t that many of us in this family either. There is me, my 2 kids and my two cousins who have 4 children between them. The line will eventually die out. Very strange situation actually. I have tried church records also. There is something weird about these people. I really think they were trying to hide something. Funny thing too, when they came to America, instead of being evangelical Lutherans…who have Mass in German, they went with the english Mass. It is like they tried to wipe away of vestiges of being from Europe. I may never know the truth.
@ coldwarrior:
The whole “denouncing the King” paper is awesome. I have never seen anything like that in my life.

Don’t own one though, but I have several CZ-75′s, two 9mm’s (one in stainless steel) and a .40 with a .357 SiG custom conversion barrel made by Angus Hobdell’s CZ Custom Shop.
I also have a VZ-58…
Oh, and a CZ-82 in 9mm Makarov.
I like Czech hardware.

Ain’t that the truth? And now, half a dozen (at least) manufacturers of street rod components sell versions of the “Mustang II” front suspension to buyers who are probably unaware of its humble origins. Ford didn’t design it to be robust and good-handling. They designed it to be, above all else, cheap.

ROTFLMAO… Yea, I kind of figured that when my cigs went whosh and were gone in the blink of an eye… that was when I thought to myself, Hmmm better leave the homeowner a warning about not flushing when she was sitting on it…

They are wicked pistols. They made them to be able to fire the hotter load 7.62×25 that was meant for PPsh submachineguns, but you probably knew that. Not the most ergonomically friendly firearm design though, which is surprising when you compare it to other Czech designs.
Upstairs, everybody. The floor is creaking.

Could you equip it with a nice big blue nitrous bottle, for those moments of extreme urgency?
