As long as there was no confrontational snapping, I fail to see what the problem is.

This is way better than those roving bands of barbershop singers, confronting people with demands that they “lay down some tags.”

Once I was working on a project that involved a spinning 8mm shaft. The sample bearings I had ordered were all crap, and I was on a deadline and getting desperate.
Then, when driving to the supermarket, I noticed two boys skateboarding in an empty car-park. The figurative “light bulb” illuminated over my head, and I turned in, drove over to where they were, and asked where the good skateboard shop in town was. They told me, I drove there, I bought a set of skateboard wheel bearings, I returned to the lab, the bearings were perfect.
When asked about the source of the great bearings, I related this story, and to a person all of my colleagues said something like “you can’t just drive up to children and ask them questions! You’ll get arrested!”

Mr. B is my favorite. Although Professor Elemental recorded a “hello” message to me after my friend got to meet him.

This happened to me and I let it slip. I felt bad about it for a while but it didn’t do any good dwelling on it, and I think I have a healthy outlook these days. Oh great what is this weird stain on my sweater?

Cops nowadays are such wimps. When I was young, a solitary punk rocker could toss an electric guitar off the top of a tenement and cause a pile-up in an intersection.

Sure, today it’s just poetry in the street, but if you don’t nip this thing in the bud there could be dancing :frowning:

If this documentary is any indication. I believe that this sort of thing has been going on for centuries in varied parts of the world.

Sadly Oliver Wendell Holmes, T S Eliot and Robert Lowell are all dead.
