Time to switch to battery power on that dildo.
No problem, just hop down to the Home Depot and rent a generator. Should keep your power tools humming over the course of the vacation. A little noisy though.
In this case it was the dishwasher + vacuum. The dildo is powered by an on-board nuclear reactor, so I'm safe on that front.
With us it's the toaster and the microwave. We've been told that the microwave needs its own dedicated circuit.
Where the hell are you living now, Baghdad? First it's dial-up, now it's inconsistent electricity. You haven't been posting much lately because you're what, painting schools?
Dishwasher + vacuum is easily solved. Get a Roomba! Battery-powered!
She sells bras, too, FL. You might as well buy one of each or you'll never get rid of her.
Oh, Labs is already one of my best bra customers.
Oops, did I just violate the sanctity of off-blog communication yet again?
We have various combinations of things (dryer + vac, toaster + m'wave, t'mill+dryer) that trip the breakers but at least the breakers are accessible. The computers, and the net gear each have their own UPS.
All of which is very well but doesn't solve your problem. Can you call the landlord and have the breaker reset? He or she should have a key for emergencies. Have your story about Aunt Zelda and her iron lung prepared.
No one would have suspected that 9 was a violation if you hadn't posted 10, genius.
Well of course if you run the Thundermill it'll trip the breakers.
It's like the Unfunny Olympics with you two.
17: Yeah, but who wears a bra with five cones?
Teach me to be gracious.
I fear that's beyond our combined abilities.
"Cones" is the term a friend of mine uses for man tits. "Look at the cones on that guy..."
Can you call the landlord and have the breaker reset?
I left a message with the maintenance people, but the office is closed for the weekend. Too bad I don't have a video of my face as I realize first that it's Friday night then that it's spring break. Eyebrows of surprise and dismay!

Okay, so it wasn't funny. I'm in good company here, and it's been a long, long week.
Is all you power off? Everything's on the same circuit?
Break and enter? Leaving a nice note behind?
Also, if your power's off, how is it that you're online?
That's why it's so easy to trip it, my dear boy.
...where you'll be spending the weekend, it seems.
(That's my solution to everything today.)
Why would I do that? I can sleep without power.
But what about the heater for the waterbed?
Ogged, how in the hell do you find this stuff?
I have a google alert set for "hungarian rapper."
Tragically, I couldn't convince Mr. B. to watch it. I bet if he had, we'd be knocking boots right now.
This version is pretty funny, too.

Bidzniss. Yih, coom on.
This version is pretty funny, too.
Oh man, it sure is.
Steven Seagal plays, explains the blues.
You have a landlord, no? This is what they're for.
This does not address the problem of why you've elected to sublet a cardboard box, but it will probably get the lights on.
Damn, that makes me want to make a war. Yea, come on, once again.
Cala, the office is closed. I think someone checks the maintenance messages over the weekend, though. Maybe.
There should be an emergency line for maintenance emergencies. ("1-800-Corrugated-Box")
Maybe Ackerman can put you up for the night.
Cala-- hilariously, the maintenance answering message refers me to the emergency numbers "found on [my] lease agreement." As if I signed that, since I'm subletting. It's as if they don't want to be bothered.
Ok, time to spend a night in the box. Yeah, that's right, comeon.
that steven segal clip is spectacular. thanks to him, i know understand the blues: "[mojo] is an acronym or slang for 'power'".
He sure is working hard on that Southern accent for a guy born in Michigan and raised in California.
One of those links TLL posted the other day, with all the military quotes, had a Segal incident. Apparently he was telling a bunch of SEALs how carefully he chooses his team for his "missions" and one of the SOCOM officers responded with "Dude, you're a fricking actor."
Found it.
"Dude, you're a frickin' actor..."
LT (SOCOM) after meeting with actor Steven Segal, who had been telling SEALs how hard he works to put together the right team for his "missions"
Such third world conditions. Have you applied for foreign aid or an economic development grant?
Wow, that sucks. My old apartment was the same way, although we had access to the circuit breaker. Also, sparks would start to fly out of the living room overhead light if you turned it on. So glad not to live there anymore.
62: sparks would start to fly out of the living room overhead light if you turned it on
I think we've lived in the same apartment at some point...
I have to make sure I plug in appliances very slowly and gently (sparks are usually involved, yeah baby!) or I might short out the house, or perhaps the whole village. And sometimes it happens anyway. And then a guy has to come and poke around amongst various bare wires until it is all fixed.
Although I guess third world conditions are kind of part and parcel...
hi nakku, how's it shakin? have you decided what to do with all your stuff yet, or did it just get devoured by mold and obviate the problem?
Hey mysterious one.
Many mouldy clothes, and a thick layer of gecko shit on my books. But otherwise most of the recording equipment mostly still works, with the rather important exception of the video camera. But this at least gives me plenty of opportunities to waste time in Provincial Capital Z. Yay!
Also I made up some story about how I promised my kids I wouldn't eat dogs and cats, and that seems to have kept the festive meats off my plate this time. So far.
now you should look into giving up bats for lent. um, and next year's lenten season as well. and the intervening period. no, I know, give up bats for pentecost, cuz it's pentecost like 8 months out of the year.
