Last seen around 5.27.19. Reward offered.
Last I heard it had hooked up with a band and was in a van on it's way to Pensacola Florida.
The fifth day of the twenty seventh month, 2019?
Americans have twenty seven or more months?
Perhaps EBK (http://www.madbeanpedals.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=22485) snuck off with it?

Consequence of our normal language use. We tend to say "May twenty seventh" when referring to a date in common speech, rather than "the twenty seventh of May". So, our date format goes month/day/year rather than day/month/year
That always confuses me a bit. Rather than small-medium-big, DDMMYY, or big-medium-small YYMMDD, you guys go medium-small-big MMDDYY.
It's to the left of the stencil.

Is it any less confusing then the whole Imperial measurement system? ;)
I ate it.

I feel like we are getting off the subject here, which is my allegedly kidnapped solder paste tube. I have not received any demands for ransom so I can only assume he's in a shallow grave upstate.
We aren't truly off-topic until armadillos are introduced.
or sausages
I'll lay odds if you find it you will also find all your lost picks, a string winder, a tube of 8 pin DIP sockets, a bag of zip ties and a couple left socks.

Was it authentically thick, rich, and meaty Oatey No. 5?
Have you looked down the back of the couch cushions?
If your couch is also missing, you may have a larger problem...

...which is my allegedly kidnapped solder paste tube.
Is this an SMD paste tube? For SMD soldering??
Aren't you supposed to put the tube in the fridge/freezer to preserve it over long periods of time??

Yep. And generally it still has a relatively short lifespan. Usually rated for 6 months.
It's only a real derailment when there's a discussion on how to prepare and cook rotten corn.
Well, this is bizarre. Earlier today I received an anonymous email with the following image attached. I'm not sure what to make of this. We did get some new neighbors a couple of months ago. I wonder if I should put them on the suspect list. I know for a fact it can't be from one of my dogs.

I think you're going to have to compare the intrinsic value of the meatballs (materials + prep time) vs. the devalued (due to age) cost of the solder paste.
Remember that solder paste ages logarithmically.
Oops, I thought the label said Preparation H. I gotta get my glasses checked...
They're after a Meatball... a Lovetone fan, then...
LaceSensor, give Brian back his solder paste!

True, but mine also read and write at 7th grade proficiency so I eliminated them based on spelling and grammar. Unless it's a ruse.
Under a pile of FV-1 and j201 SMDs?
Go to the place that you are SURE THAT THE PASTE HAS NEVER BEEN AND WILL NEVER BE, and there you will find it.
I'll ask the Armadillos at work tomorrow if they've seen it. Granted, they're skeletal, but worth a shot I suppose.

Date formatting is super confusing when you're trying to book hotels in another country for an early date in the month.
It's even worse in programming where we use number of milliseconds since Jan 1, 1970. Then we convert that to a readable date and send it somewhere else which has to convert it to its own time zone (which would have been easier if it was still in ms). I've spent a significant amount of my career just changing the formatting of dates.

Well, the last place I would suspect is behind the toilet in the women's restroom at the local Arby's but I already have a lifetime ban there and I am
not going back to jail.
I decided to review security footage from that period and found something interesting on the night of June 2nd. Not sure what to make of it.
If your security cam weighs more than a banana peel then I'd say you have your answer.
That guy looks familiar. I never forget a moustache
I'm not one to give into turrist demands (or tourist demands for that matter) but I really need that solder paste. So, I have prepared a batch of meatballs for the abductor. Tonight I will place them in the backyard per the ransom note and hope for the best.
Normally these are made for the dogs but since they have been eliminated conclusively as suspects I will give them a reprieve.
... you cook for your dogs?
Wow, Dad used to have a dog, and the only time it got cooked food was when we had leftovers no one wanted.

Indeed. We found that cooking their meals was much cheaper than buying dog food (and ultimately healthier). We cut our monthly dog food budget in half. About every 5 or 6 days I put a few chicken breasts with peas and carrots in a roaster and let it cook for a few hours. They love it, actually. One of them is getting pretty senior and we are trying to put more weight on her so meatballs are the new thing.

It was inspired by Zappas label Bizzarre. I thought I could adapt and it and screw it up a bit to make the name more interesting.....
