  • Interests
    Model railroading, backyard astronomy, space exploration, music (composition, play the French Horn, Oboe, Alto Recorder, and Cornet), learning to play the ukulele (seriously, I am :D), kit-bashing, camping, and hiking, reading great science fiction, and escaping the university campus any chance I get!

    I teach World Civilization, U.S. History, and U.S. Foreign Policy at the college/university level. So, with that said, I love history, love to do research, and enjoy good conversation.

  1. Even in the military, we used the term "near miss" to mean it was almost a hit. The word, near means the object that would collide was extremely close to being where it was undesired -- similar to "that was a close call!" Each language, English included, has idioms that can confuse native and non-native speakers alike. Near miss happens to be one of them.
  2. Yep, just in time, I see! What about @Mr. Kerbin? Still around waiting for a ping? I bet that will make their day!
  3. Banned for not having an inchworm in your profile picture (sorry, @ColdJ, you're in the way!)
  4. Oh, good guess, but not right. So, maybe we can see if @Kerbalsaurus is poking around the buffet bar.
  5. Banned for having a highly pixelated avatar.
  6. Floor 5779: A large LED sign that reads: Welcome to FLOOR 15!
  7. Sure we do. We can talk about how we appreciate it when (the bad thing that happened before) is not currently happening! Be creative!
  8. Yeah, I have no idea what happened to @kerbiloid. With these pings adding up... (the forum profile says the last visit was January 6th of this year).
  9. "Hello, this is 911; state the nature of your emergency." "Yes, I'd like to report a major crime. Someone just tried to serve me decaf coffee!"
  10. I'm here, not yet caffeinated, but here. What about @darthgently?
  11. Banned. Theo may have remembered, but I didn't.
