BadNick · 08-11-2009, 07:59 AM

unc, are you in Colorado Springs? Very soon I hope to accept your thumb wrestling challenge...my secret weapon: ambidexterity. I can hold my beer mug with either hand thereby optimizing my thumb power!

uncle phil · 08-11-2009, 08:46 AM

BadNick · 08-11-2009, 03:55 PM

are you at Knob Hill? ...famous as the location of Nikola Tesla's laboratory

At this location, in 1899, Tesla, several of his assistants, and a local contractor commenced the construction of Tesla's laboratory shortly after arriving in Colorado Springs. The lab's primary purpose was to conduct experiments with high frequency electricity and other phenomena. Its secondary purpose was for research into wireless transmission of electrical power. The lab possessed the largest Tesla Coil ever built, fifty-two feet (16 m) in diameter, which was a preliminary version of the Magnifying Transmitter. This coil reproduced the effects of lightning and its accompanying thunder for the first time in history. On January 7, 1900, Tesla's lab here was torn down, broken up, and its contents sold to pay debts when Tesla left Colorado Springs.

ps: we should hook up when you come here to see the rowing...it'll be on the Schuykill River about 10 min. from my abode. Have you ever been to the Eulogy Belgian Tavern? ...or plenty of other nice places. We also have a few good steak houses if your highly carnivorous...I'll buy yous a good steak

uncle phil · 08-11-2009, 04:14 PM

i'll take you up on that if the opportunity arises...

not at tesla's place, though my high school physics teacher would cream his drawers seeing that stuff...

BadNick · 08-12-2009, 03:55 AM

are you at the HQ of the Oracle Corp.?

uncle phil · 08-12-2009, 04:00 AM

nope...

BadNick · 08-12-2009, 08:11 AM

I'm leaving my office now to go give a highly informative seminar to a bunch of engineers and won't be back here until dinner time....but I'm thinkin' about where you might be, unc.

BadNick · 08-12-2009, 06:09 PM

does where you are have anything to do with sports?

uncle phil · 08-13-2009, 03:21 AM

it do...

BadNick · 08-13-2009, 03:35 AM

Might you be at Security Service Field, formerly known as Sky Sox Stadium?

SSF is a professional baseball stadium on the eastern edge of Colorado Springs. The stadium is the home of the Colorado Springs Sky Sox, the AAA-level affiliate of the Colorado Rockies Major League Baseball team.

uncle phil · 08-13-2009, 03:48 AM

southwest of there...

BadNick · 08-13-2009, 06:28 AM

I'm looking for more sports related places....are you at a golf course?

uncle phil · 08-13-2009, 06:41 AM

nope...

BadNick · 08-14-2009, 05:57 AM

Last night I went into my adobe hut and sought to find the true way by getting back in touch with my inner shaman, seeking assistance from mind altering methods and consulting my good Yaqui friend Don Juan Matus...or it might have been some other crazy Mexican friend of Tully.

In any case, this led me to the revelation you are either in a sports bar drinking your ass off, or maybe at the Colorado Springs National Olympic Training Center. So I'll go against my instincts and guess the training center.

ps: I also wish to thank the way of the Yaqui Indians for inspiring me to have this for lunch today, from a local little Mexican taco joint, seemed very fresh and authentic,, it recently opened near where I exist:

BadNick · 08-16-2009, 02:11 PM

attn: Mr. TFP Authority!!!...or Mrs., or Ms., or Miss as said authority may prefer. I know I do.

Halx, in case unc was captured by a bunch of pirates and never shows up again, may I please have another turn or is that against the rules?

Tully Mars · 08-16-2009, 07:26 PM

Uncle Phil would never allow himself or his men (or Aunt P.) to be captured. Go down with his ship or make those left wish they had... them that died would be the lucky I'd say.

But since it's just the few of us and the Olympic site was kinda my idea... take another crack I say.

BadNick · 08-17-2009, 12:50 PM

eye eye, matey....in case Tul's suggestion above is not correct,

unc, are you at the ProRodeo Hall of Fame?

uncle phil · 08-17-2009, 01:38 PM
