And you think your luck is bad?? - Lindy - 7/31/2007 2:59:40 PM
- No puns, this time. Just more bad luck. - ER - 8/4/2007 7:30:42 PM

      - Nah, it was just a flash in the pan (n/t) - Lindy - 7/31/2007 7:30:09 PM

        I might short-circuit in such limited capacity (n/t) - REB - 7/31/2007 6:51:46 PM
        
        Only without the proper insulation. (n/t) - ER - 7/31/2007 7:00:14 PM
        
        Of course the current situation can alternate and become direct. (n/t) - REB - 7/31/2007 7:01:59 PM
        
        Do you mean like the series of parallel puns now making the circuit? (n/t) - ER - 7/31/2007 7:10:52 PM
        
        You win. I have become static. I feel drained :) (n/t) - REB - 7/31/2007 7:18:18 PM

        In fact, I'm positively recharged. (n/t) - ER - 7/31/2007 7:49:15 PM

        I think the spark has gone out of it. (n/t) - REB - 8/1/2007 2:06:20 PM
        
        Yup, totally discharged (n/t) - RNE - 8/3/2007 4:07:11 PM
        
        a Good Conduct(or) discharge? (n/t) - Fox - 8/3/2007 5:26:46 PM
        
        Hmmmmmmm, think I'll sine off on that one. (n/t) - RNE - 8/3/2007 5:54:02 PM

        I am getting a charge outta this thread!! (n/t) - Jody - 8/5/2007 4:43:38 PM
- Perhaps he's just well grounded in reality. (n/t) - ER - 7/31/2007 3:08:27 PM
  - Clearly the guy pissed off Zeus - ds - 7/31/2007 3:11:14 PM
    - Na, just a stroke of bad luck. (n/t) - ER - 7/31/2007 3:15:04 PM
      - he's living up to his potential, though. (n/t) - podrock - 7/31/2007 6:15:54 PM
        
        As long as the unfortunate victim doesn't die electric. (n/t) - ER - 7/31/2007 6:45:04 PM
        
        Maybe he was negative all the time (n/t) - podrock - 7/31/2007 6:52:40 PM
        
        He was known to blow a fuse. (n/t) - REB - 7/31/2007 6:57:10 PM
        
        Because he failed to conduct himself properly. (n/t) - ER - 7/31/2007 7:01:04 PM
        
        Before the incident he was quite the energetic person. (n/t) - REB - 7/31/2007 7:03:26 PM
        
        Unfortunately, he's pretty static now. (n/t) - ER - 7/31/2007 7:12:48 PM
        
        but well grounded (n/t) - podrock - 7/31/2007 7:51:09 PM
        
        I wonder if he'll make the talk show circuit. I bet they would get a charge out of him. (n/t) - REB - 7/31/2007 8:41:26 PM
        
        Until the lightning, he was having a faraday. (n/t) - podrock - 7/31/2007 9:22:05 PM
        
        This thread has become an electromotive farce (n/t) - ER - 8/4/2007 2:54:20 AM
        
        it's experiencing a surge (n/t) - podrock - 8/4/2007 3:05:32 AM
        
        It's finally lost its charge. (n/t) - Eri - 8/4/2007 10:35:06 PM
        
        LOL but it needs a boost? (n/t) - Lindy - 8/5/2007 2:50:44 AM
        
        Time for me to bolt (n/t) - Jody - 8/5/2007 4:48:55 PM
        
        but we are so close to 60 cycles! (n/t) - podrock - 8/5/2007 6:08:29 PM
        
        That would complete the arc. (n/t) - ER - 8/5/2007 9:38:08 PM
        
        What happens at 60 cycles? Static discharge? (n/t) - Eri - 8/5/2007 9:37:44 PM
        
        Nope...just the shock of your life! (n/t) - Jody - 8/6/2007 2:57:06 AM

        I'm still getting a charge out of this (n/t) - Lindy - 8/6/2007 7:10:52 PM
        
        Mind if I Tesla that theory? (n/t) - Jody - 8/7/2007 3:36:34 AM
        
        I'm utterly revolted! (n/t) - Eri - 8/8/2007 3:24:24 AM
