CONTEST It's Labor Day in the US, so ...

CONTEST
My net worth is only 5 bucks
I couldn’t even buy a NUX
If I had a job
Or was willing to rob
I could build a delay that f***s

I need to buy JFETS and chips
But my Bandcamp page never gets tips
College is expensive
And my classes extensive
If only I could sell my dumb quips

I’ve thought about selling my blood
But I’d probably make a big thud
Because although it seems easy
I’d get rather queasy
So I guess that idea is a dud

I need to finish up some designs
To order from Tayda online
And I wish they had more
Enclosures in store
Like the new colors for the big ones, and more

I’ve written too many of these
But I hope you realize, please
I’m procrastinating
Assignments are waiting
I’m burned out already— jeeze!

I’ll probably come back in a bit
With more limericks and unwitting wit
These rhymes are not great
But it’s pretty late
And these are the best I could fit.
 
Fitting for this “holiday” when I was very young I read Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle. That combined with growing up as a second generation factory worker’s kid really had a an impact on me. Despite work feeling like an assembly line of sorts I have been fortunate to never have to brave the monotony of working on an actual assembly line.
 
A lady I work with ask if I heard about the sex maniac that escaped from the Asylum, I said I had not, she then tells me he showed up at her house! I ask what did you do? She replied "Well of course I called the police and ask them to come pick him up........... first thing in the morning!"
 
Some contend that these PCBs
Are bad for the elbows, worse for the knees
Bad for the fleas in the high Pyrenees.
Solder makes fumes in spectacular plumes
Makes for pollution in adjoining rooms
Time for a fan, install it now,
Else you are breathing in solder somehow.
Faults make some men crazy 😝
And they start to drool
Patient troubleshooting
Is the golden rule.
Get out your meter
In case of panic attacks,
Check out your board
For invisible cracks.
Measure your volts
Not forgetting your amps
All nuts and bolts
To dispel all the cramps.
Sooner or later
You know you will win
Don’t chuck your board
In the guilty bin.

With due apologies to Little Feat and anyone else reading this aimless doggerel.
 
Wow there's just been so many competitions over so much time. It's just really hard to keep track of them all. How do you explain them to someone who hasn't been here?

I guess there's only one way to show such a passage of time....






We're gonna need a @fig Montage. Ooh a competition montage. Yeah a Montage. Always fade out in a competition Montag.....

I once saw a police car slowly hitting a light pole on a high traffic Brooklyn street. If you’re familiar with the Grand Theft Auto game series you will know that when that happens in the game, the light pole slowly falls down wrecking havoc. Well, that’s exactly what happened in real life. The pole slowly fell on the sidewalk, I couldn’t believe it. Except thankfully no havoc occurred and nobody got hurt. This was like 10 years ago and I can’t stop laughing about it to this day.
