I bent my nubbin
(Category: True Stories )

It's true. It happened on Wednesday. I was leveraging around for a scratch and put a bit too much pressure on it. I felt it bend a bit awkwardly but didn't think anything serious had happened.

When I whipped it out yesterday morning I saw the damage. The tip was bent over at a 15% angle. I straightened it out but there must be something wonky in the area where the tip and the shaft meet. As soon as I start using it the damn thing bends over again.

This is very distressing for me. I use the hell out of it - multiple times a day, sometimes for hours at a time. I like a precision instrument. Even if I'm just messing around with it I expect it to perform perfectly. Now my aim is all off and I don't even like using it anymore.

Lovely Wife bought me some "replacement units" a while back. I can use one of those to take care of critical tasks but it's just not the same. They don't have the smooth feel of my original equipment and (not to brag) they're smaller. They don't fit very well in the receptacle either, if you get my meaning.

Speaking of original equipment, that poses some problems all by itself. I'm not saying that mine is one of a kind but I guarantee they aren't making any like it any more. Trust me, I've Googled it. (Interesting images in that search, by the way.) I've been sending messages to the creator to see if there's any way to get mine repaired or replaced with equivalent equipment but I never got an answer back.

So, anybody know where I can get a replacement stylus for a Dell Axim 4 PDA?

This was the longest train of innuendo that I have seen in a long long time... I was sure that it would end in misery... and... I was right.

You had me at "nubbin".

Yeah, consider me duped, too. Damn nubbin...

"Nubbin" is the name of Chandler's third nipple on Friends. Is that a stealth point?

I have questions about stealth points now...

Paul had a post that was the same title as a play. Is that a stealth point?

I guess, my question about stealth points is: do all references (advertant and inadvertant) count as stealth point?

i call stealth point for a re-used joke. I remember the one about the PDA protection covers, again the LW/the brat gave you.

Is it a sign that i'm no longer a pervert that the Fir ting i thought of was your PDA?

Damn, that's almost as depressing as losing a testicle in a knife fight with mom.

:-D

Here's something not directly related to your posting, but kinda messed up.

Look up the definitons for:
wonky
wonk

What a difference a 'y' makes.
