There was a cox utility guy in our back yard tracing the cable with his orange paint a little while ago.He told me that they're upgrading the cable in the neighborhood.

I asked if they were going to trench the neighborhood and he said, "no, we'll just be digging a few 2'x4' holes along the right of way and will be sending a missle through pulling the cable."

I guess they have a pneumatic missle that just pounds its way through the dirt about 2 feet down and pulls cable behind it. They aim it from hole to hole and send it on its way. Apparently, it's not even bothered by tree roots.

He said you can hear it tink tink tinking its way underground when it moves through.

That's kind of cool.

I remember when they were digging ditches over by campus about 10 years ago. Are you sure missle isn't codename for "illegal immigrant"?

I think this is secret testing to overcome the "cave-gap" developing between us and the Russians.

Or the doomsday-gap.

probably a directional boring machine, and they are neat.

That's one of the wife's pet names for me.

Come on, comon!
Come on, comon!

On those Saturdays, when kids go out and play
Yo I was up in my room I let the stereo blaze
Wasn't faded, not jaded, just a kid with a pad and pen
And a big imagination
All this, I seek, I find I push the envelope to the line
Make it, break it
Take it, until I’m overrated!

Tink Tink Boom!
I'm comin' down on the stereo, hear me on the radio
Tink Tink Boom!
I'm comin' down with the Gas Main and you know it's insane
Tink Tink Boom!
I'm on the radio station tourin' round the nation,
Leavin' the scene in devastation

I can see it in my mind
I can see it in your eyes
It's close enough to touch it now, but far away enough to die

What the hell is wrong with me?
My mom and dad weren't perfect
But still you don't hear no cryin' *** bitchin' from me
Like there seems to be on everybody's CD
So just sit back and relax
And let me have your head for a minute
I can show you somethin' in it
That has yet to be presented, oh yeah!

Tink Tink Boom!
I'm comin' down on the stereo, hear me on the radio
Tink Tink Boom!
I'm comin' down with the Gas Main and you know it's insane
Tink Tink Boom!
I'm on the radio station tourin' round the nation,
Leavin' the scene in devastation

Why have I clouded up my mind
Why's my mother always right
And will I make it to the end
Or will I crawl away and die
Tink Tink Boom!
Tink Tink Boom!
Tink Tink Boom!

Tink Tink Boom!

On those Saturdays, when kids go out and play
Yo I was up in my room I let the stereo blaze
Those Saturdays, when kids go out and play
Yo I was up in my room I let the stereo blaze

It's all inside of me
It's all inside of me
It's all inside of me
It's all inside of my head
It's all inside of me
It's comin' over me
It's all inside of me
It's all inside my head!
Yeah!

Tink Tink Boom!
I'm comin' down on the stereo, hear me on the radio
Tink Tink Boom!
I'm comin' down with the Gas main and you know it's insane
Everybody, everybody come on!

Come on, comon
Everybody come on!
Come on, comon
Tink Tink Boom!
Come on, comon
Everybody come on!
Come on, comon
Tink Tink Boom!
Come on, comon
Everybody come on!
Come on, comon
Tink Tink Boom!
Come on, comon
Everybody come on!
Come on, comon
Tink Tink Boom!
