   He neglected the maintenance schedule for the muffler bearings.

   I got wood watching that one. Really, I did.

   That was pretty good; amazing how bullshit can sound when it is presented properly. A good example is political science professors.

   When I went back to school for some computer training, they had an AS/400 in the lab there; I was always tempted to glue a zerk fitting on it near the controls, just to see what reactions would ensue.

   That is the single greatest example of advanced technobabble I have ever heard.

   Puts Geordi Laforge to shame.

   Sure, it works in the Milford Trunnion, which is impressive, but can it handle the latent incipience in the Universal Thagomizer?

   This is exactly what is needed to make the Transmogrifier work to its full capacity….

   Wait a minute, wait a minute! That’s all wrong! They’ve got the transverse subflexive Bueller bearings improperly pressed onto the Diller shaft. Are they trying to kill someone???

    How bad is it when during watching that I thought “Why the hell are they using Allen Bradley’s stuff instead of Fanuc or Siemens control systems?”.

    All that’s missing from that is the upbeat soundtrack endemic to Industrial marketing films.

    Heh heh. I’ll see your automation and raise you a Chrysler training video. Given the early reliability (or lack thereof) of the A604, perhaps too may techs watched this one:

    And one wonders why ACME’s version, with the added Difiborous Transduction Demodulator feature, never caught on.

    It turns out that the Turboencabulator has a long and glorious history.

    Y’know, we’ve been lookin’ into replacing some of the electromotibulating retroframistans on the starship with turboencabulators. State of the art has not quite up to it but perhaps Rockwell’s latest offerings would turn the trick. Er, do the trick, that is.

    I think I attended that seminar at a trade show years ago in Orlando.

    It was an inspiration, but sadly I could never get my commercial for the Rogers-pulse-doppler-laser- nippleometer (a device that measures ambient temperature by bouncing a beam of light off a woman’s chest) put together before the market was saturated with cheeper chinese knockoffs that made the ambient conditions too noisy for my non-discrete receptors to fuction reliably.

    I called McNaughton-McKay to get more info, and they didn’t know what I was talking about. What idiots!
