well when it comes to volovo's, do you like droping kids off at soccer practice? 
When it comes to fishy buisness, well, do you get to eat the fishes when you are done? if you dont get to eat the fishes, I would say go home and eat fishes. Remember big fish eat the little fish, which fish are you?

1) If you had a time machine or a spaceship, is there any time/place to which you would consider traveling even if there was no chance of return? When there were dinosaurs. I love dinosaurs very muchly.
2) pocket giraffe or talking pumpkin? Pocket giraffe, then I would always have a sidekick
3) Name a guilty pleasure that doesn't involve food and that most people might find "odd"
Im a big fan of cartoon network. I dont know, I cant think of anything good.

...i got america's biggest woodpecker right here, paly 
seriously, though, excellent to make your acquaintance good sir! and good news about the pecker! that's an awesome field you've taken up, my man - read any jared diamond at all? i study history myself, but i think that the fragmentation of knowledge will yet be out undoing. that's why i like diamond - how can you have history without biology, without earth sciences? (this from a died-in-the-wool historical materialist, btw - big surprise, right?)
anyway, we can be snooty academics later - here's what's REALLY going on: if you're building a 140 (you said 140, right?) then maybe you can offer an opinion or two on the matter of SU carbs. i just installed a B20 of nefarious origin (purportedly from a '73 P1800) and converted it from injectors back to the original carbs from my '67 122 - essentially made a B20B out of B20F (i think - more on this later). the question is, what the fuck is the right needle designation for the B20B with dual SU HS6's??? evidently they only put those carbureters on those engines in those years in canada, and the rest of the carburated B20's had Zeniths or SU HIF6's... so far, my best sleuthing abilities have only turned up the KN designation for this engine, but only from one source, as of yet totally unconfirmed by ANYONE - i am a little skeptical because the KN needles have a spring-loaded seat, whatever the fuck that is... there are some serious SU guys in NY that i tried to talk to, but their only advice was "send us your set for a complete rebuild" - fuckers.
...little help?
either way, glad to know there's another volvo head on the site. most people just don't get the beauty of the mighty indestructible swede...
i just went back and rechecked your comment - so it's a '73 142e! we may in fact have exactly the same engine!
that IS kinda strange...
curious: are you going to keep the injectors or carburate it? also, do you have the B20E or B20F, and is there a quick visual way to identify which is which to your knowledge? (see above re "more later") my understanding is that the E has a shorter head, and in turn higher compression, and so is quite the sought-after racer - but i don't know how to tell by looking at it. i'll source the serial number if i have to but laziness prevails most days...
enough spastic enthusiasm for now, yeah?

cool pic.
i also get a kick out of your sense of humor.
i wouldn't be surprised if you knew my friend paula (the girl in the red jacket). those pics were taken at neo, and a few were at exit. i was talking to starguitar about the same thing: chicago is a huge city but certain social circles can be very small...like the alternative/arts scene for example. that's why it seems like everyone knows everyone. we probably do!

yes! I can't think of Rush and Geddy Lee without thinking of that episode...did I spell his name right?
Ender's Game was the book that got me into Scientifiction... that and Startide Rising by David Brin which is a fitting book for you to check out if you haven't yet as it has a bunch of "uplifted" animals, meaning smarter chimps, dolphins, and whales...

How I did that, it is called having to back up for 600 feet and finding a low laying concrete abutment. Yah it was fucking swell.
Oh btw, cool fish, wonder if it tastes good.

Ha, yes, that movie was fucking fantastic. I normally don't go for that type of film at all but it was just so well-done. And yeah, I remember when I first saw Devon Aoki in some fashion magazine and I thought "Here's a girl who's going to go somewhere with that look." I'm glad she got the role - she was perfect. Anyway, thanks for your words of wisdom on teaching. Why are you second-guessing yourself? What would you do if you weren't teaching?
i wanna see pics of the engine as soon as you get it...
