perfidy

Geek Lethal, the lethalest geek of them all, is a saint and a man for all seasons.

His Christmas gift to me: Arthur S. Locke, et al., "Principles of Guided Missile Design" (Princeton, NJ: Van Nostrand & Co., 1956). Sweeeeeet. Now all I need is a backyard, an engineering degree, and money. Oh, and also a total disregard for my neighbors. Ever read Dad's Nuke?

I also recieved this weekend a pack of "Iraq's Most Wanted" playing cards. I opened the package, went to bed, and woke up the next morning to find that the Ace of Spades had turned up in the flop. Woo!!! Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again! And other Motorhead-related elations.

Truly this is a blessed fricken' season.

[wik] I have changed the link to the Guided Missile tutorial above, lest people get the mistaken impression that Mr. Lethal is some sort of nut. He's not. He's a very specific form of nut.
