They may be more indulgent with you than I am. And they will be taking all new questions for me while I'm out of town, like I will be this weekend.

Are you sure you want to do that? I have seen what happens when the boss lets the apprentices run the show for a day or two. Arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!! Not really only joking.

While the boss is away, the minions shall play.

Rip would be the first to tell you that I am able to summon my inner Rippetoe, and shut down Silly Bullshit© as required.

Shall we test this theory of yours Steve? He did say "indulgence".

Alt går ikkje som ein gjettar.

Just keep them away from brooms and buckets of water.

May be. But you could tell me why things get heavier as I get older. Does gravity increase the weight of the plates or am I just getting weaker? I picked up 100 kgs the other day, I swear it felt like 200. Where is the tipping point, 35, 40, 50 years?

To quote the great Jim Croce, kind sir,you are indeed,sometimes, meaner than a junkyard dog.

Maybe.

Somewhere in that range for most, but for the others, it may be different.
