Kat's Running Commentary On:
"All I Need To Know In Life I Learned From Being A Gadgephile"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
By: Robert Hollingshead (The Adventures Of Gadget Hackwrench author and pagemaintainer)
I took the idea from a Star Trek poster that I have called "All I Need To Know In Life I Learned From
Watching Star Trek." I then adapted that Idea to one us Gadgephiles should enjoy.
And I just had to comment on it ;)

Improbable
Remember. Nothing's impossible, it's only improbable.
Sometimes it's impractical, too.
How to dress
It's always okay to dress casually.
Then why won't anybody here let me?
Cosmetics
Never wear makeup. It only hides who you are.
YEAH!! It smells funny and feels weird, too!
It Should
These two words, coupled together, can be a dangerous combination. Especially if you are a Rescue Ranger on one of Gadget's latest inventions.
And when I use those two words, satisfaction is NOT guaranteed.
Salesmen
Salesmen try to sell you stuff that doesn't work. I don't like salesmen. Salesmen are bad.
Telemarketers are VERY bad--but how can you build booby traps for them ?!?
Explaining Things
Never try to explain something if you think the person on the receiving end can't understand it. I mean, receiving in meaning, the person who you are talking to. Or it could be a group of people, but that could also be shortened down to persons on the receiving end. I mean, ohno
I've never been really good at explaining things. Does that mean I shouldn't bother trying? I know I'm trying, but that's beside the point.
Propulsion
Baking soda, popsickle sticks, and the occasional rubber band, are excellent sources of propulsion.
(Insert rude burrito joke here)
Soda Showers
Soda showers can stain your clothes. Remember to wear something you aren't meaning to wear later.
Well, if you'd stop shaking the can before you open it, that wouldn't happen J
Gadget's Go Coaster
When you are on the Go Coaster, remember to scream. That tells other people that you are a diehard
Gadgephile that stands a 99.999999% chance of riding this ride again.
Have you been on it?!? I haven't. This is yet another reason I wish I could teleport--so I could go there and ride it whenever I wanted to! ;)
Lock Picking...
If you are faced with a door that won't budge because it is locked. Just use your tail.
If you don't have a tail, a crowbar might work. Better yet, remove the hinges. Of course, teleporting mutants don't have to worry about this J
Wearing A Dress
If you are a Rescue Ranger, never wear a dress. Chances are, something bad will happen.
Even if you AREN'T a Rescue Ranger, something bad will probably happen.
Outbursts
For the sanity of Gadgephiles everywhere. Never, ever, resort to shrewd emotional outbursts.
NOTE: This is a reference to the episode "Shell Shocked"
Aw, but they're so much fun! Just kidding! Hmm. What about the ones that aren't shrewd?
The Opposite Sex
The opposite sex will constantly try to get you to notice them. This interferes with work. It is best to ignore them.
Good advice (unless you're the one doing the flurting)!
Blueprints...
Blueprints are always best for writing down ideas. Aside from a rodent sized clipboard and pencil.
The truly desperate use napkins ;)
Matters Of Life Or Death...
If you are about to be fed to a cheese cutter. Never trust Monterey Jack, or another cheese crazed mouse for that matter, unless they are your only hope.
NOTE: This is a reference to "Mind Your Cheese and Q's"
And if they ARE your only hope, you are TRULY desperate!
