Re: Helen Waite
So what you're telling me is, it's them boys in Washington DC playing around with nukes that caused us all to go through a mysterious time warp? Hawk, did YOU go out and see that big remake of a famous sci-fi movie this weekend?

Re: Helen Waite
This brings to mind a point : Everything man has ever done has failed. The pyramids take the prize for the longest triumph of man made things- but alas, they too are slowly falling apart, and they are after all just piles of stone.
Mans hubris: We can make bombs that will wipe out mankind? GREAT! Lets build 30,000 of them- what could possibly go wrong? We figured out how to splice the DNA of a fish with a tomato so the pasty fruits will last longer on the shelf? GREAT! Lets plant billions of them and feed them to everyone- what could possibly go wrong?

Re: Helen Waite
Forgive me if I'm a bit dense, but who is Helen Waite, and why is this thread named for her?
Re: Helen Waite
I believe the thread title is a wordplay "joke", i.e If you have a "Problem" go to Helen Waite....

Well, I just spent the last two minutes typing my answer, only to find you beat me to it Stoker. (I'm a bit of a slow typer)
Oh well! You got it right.

Re: Helen Waite
Kind of like the "Complaint Departments" plaque with a hand grenade on it, with a big "1" on the pin. If you have a complaint just pull the pin and wait, someone will be right with you.... I think they give out those plaques with salvage yard licenses as every junkyard in the nation seems to have one behind the counter.

Re: Helen Waite
Guess I must just be behind the times and out of the loop. Makes sense now.
On a side note, I was well into adulthood before I learned about the "pull my finger" ploy.

Re: Helen Waite
Ahhh- construction pranks- now your talking. "Hey Newguy, grab me some toenails." Newguy says "Where they at boss?"--- "They're in the box next to the boardstretcher" --"you know-- the big 3 cylinder one on the bottom".....
