Damn HAL.

Someone call Conners!

*beg for one more chance dear Hal.

Open the toaster bay doors Hal!

with a dash of homicidal tendencies (think HAL-9000).

Yeah, that setup seems like a b*tch to setup.
Blinking blue, red, green, rotations...
Would be embarrassing, in the middle of the concert, flipping through the user's manual that was taped on the back side of the guitar.

I'm sure there was a more cohesive way to design the interface...instead of this mini HAL embodied in a knob. What a knob though. Yeah.

Reminds me of a noisier American version of HAL,

Cool stuff. I'm sure they're pretty far away from military application though.

Like Mauricio Wilson (Jason Alexander) in "Shallow Hal"

Bulldog Mansion - Happy Birthday To Me

Monday, I'm still lying in bed
Tuesday, yep that's right

I am in a sleep colder than she is cold
Wake me up shockingly please
I am not sufficiently shocked yet

Wednesday, I don't want to go to school
Thursday, but even so I still have to go

A day is not to be spent lazing around
Even if I don't know what's going on, let's run around and see

It's my birthday, just me and my birthday
My heart is beating fast, I might change in a second
I don't know about you, but if I were to be reborn
I would still run to you

Friday, can't find my motivation
Saturday, the day that all students wait for
It's supposed to be Saturday Night Fever
But I have nowhere to go

It's my birthday, just me and my birthday
My heart is beating fast, I might change in a second
I don't know about you, but if I were to be reborn
I would still run to you

Today is a sweet day with you, please don't stand me up

t's my birthday, the sweet day with you
Our first day
Don't put my hand next to you
I love you, birthday,
it started with a first day
My heart is beating so fast, I might change in a second
Although you don't know it, I am spending the whole day with you, only today

Even if you don't know it, I am spending the whole of today, just today, with you

Clever idea for a false paradigm.

A bunch of Hal Lindseys in flip-flops are going to look awfully dumb in 10 years when nothing drastic happens to dee oith's climate.

"come on HAL..." ha! first time I notice this reference

I remember this song from an episode of Malcolm in the Middle. The boys are making a mess througout the house, and Hal (Dad) is just sitting on the couch, jamming to his Stealers Wheel records, oblivious!

Blood. Good ol' Hal went for the telephone to the face move.

From the Fox Sports website...

Hal McRae hates stupid questions. Ask him one, and you just might get a telephone to your face.

After throwing a series of questions about pinch-hitting options back in the faces of the gathered reporters, Hurricane Hal buttoned this line of inquiry with "You think I'm a (bleepin') fool?"

At this point phones and tape recorders were flying and the press was beating a hasty retreat into the safety of the hallway. But McRae wasn't done. He appeared in the doorway and capped the classic meltdown with an old-fashioned idiom: "Now put that in your (bleepin') pipe and smoke it."
