I just got back from a NSAI critique session in Nashville.

You aint gonna believe this but there was at least 42 people in the room.
It was held in Alabama's old studio and I think they musta had at least 42 hits.

And I was hangin' around with Al cause I thought it would make me look smarter
Looks like we was both wrong, or both right, which is it?

I think I'll go check the Cow thread and see if Nathan gave us an answer yet

Jack
Now why'd you have to go and spoil our little game with a technical flaw, we was having such fun.

Remember Jackie Robinson?

Yeah, I thought of this too, Jack. Also, this would translate to an elevation gain of 148,000 feet, or roughly 5 Mount Everests. (Coincidentally {or not}, this would also be about 42 Mt. Bovines).

Then, it occurred to me that, in his wisdom, Bill was simply giving us a theoretical construct to visualize the impact of 42 cows. You know, kinda like "we made enough plastic bottles last year to circle the earth 42 times". No one actually goes out and lays them end to end....

Scott

They don't?

awww shoot. That really spoils it for me.

148,000 feet? for real? I never was any good at math.

42 is an extremely cool math number.

Given 27 same-size cubes whose nominal values progress from 1 to 27, a 3 x 3 x 3 "magic cube" can be constructed such that every row, column and corridor, and every diagonal passing through the center, comprises 3 cubes whose sum of values is...42.

Here's a blog entry that talks to Big Jim's "crap": http://ninetymilewind.blogspot.com/ (in a different sort of way)

Mark: 42 is sort of cool, isn't it?

Kevin

"42
The number of cows farting for 42 minutes to equal the polution from one American made 1942 Cadilac driving at 42 miles per hour for 42 miles up a hill with a 42 degree grade."

42' Cadillac? I don't think there is a 42' Cadillac, that was during the war,(they weren't making cars in 42').
You may have to rethink your theory. Maybe a 52' Cadillac.
Or you could just think of this as a DRIVEBY comment since I haven't been participating in this thread. Ben

There were actually 16,511 1942 Cadillacs made with production beginning October 1, 1941 and ending in February, 1942. 1942 models were the last American made commercially available models until the end of the war.

Ben I thought that too but I googled it before I made the post and yes they made a 42 cadilac
but
Cadillac entered 1942, its Fortieth Anniversary year, with the same 150-bhp V-8 and six series, but model choices were pared to 22. Gone were the two Sixty-One DeLuxes, the Sixty-Two convertible sedan, and the Sixty Special Town Car. Prices now ranged from $1450 to $4060. The 1942 Cadillac was -- and is -- fairly rare because output was halted on February 1 1942. The U.S. had entered World War II on December 8, just hours after the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor, forcing an industry-wide conversion to the manufacture of war materiel. And in fact, the U.S. Office of Production Management had ordered auto production cutbacks back in August 1941, to 73.5 percent of 1940 output.

WELL...........never mind. Ben

They were pretty cool, too. (Sorry, guess I'm the visual type.)

Are you sure that's not a locomotive?

Ben you were close to right.
I knew they suspended automobile Manufacturing from 1942 til I think 46 but When I made that post I thought about it and Googled to make sure they actually made a 42. I thought they didn't either.
They suspended there production in February 1942. So 42 Caddy's are very rare.
But I bet they made a ton of Jeeps, LOL

I'm like that too Bill. If I make a claim and then find out that I was unsure of it I start checking my facts. It's an obsession. Of course I was wrong about the 42' Cad but I thought that all production was suspended in 42'. They also suspended production of kitchen appliances and washing machines. Ben

I know some of you guys have seen this before but here is a pic of my '53 Caddy, taken before I painted it bright pink.



I think I painted it pink so that people would be distracted from the fact that it was a hearse. I don't think it worked.

Cool math cube and Robinson photo, Lyle. Man, I'm tellin' ya, this number 42 is something!

Scott

Tell me that isn't a 1942? If it is you still have it, you should be able to get some big bucks for that baby, specifically because there were so few 42's made.

I love it!

Nah, Jack. It's a '53. And, sadly, that picture is over 30 years old. It's long gone....

I paid $275 for it back in '76 or so

Scott

EDIT: All I have left of it is the steering wheel knob.....

Sure is, Scott. In Revelations (13:5) it was prophesied that the Beast will hold dominion over the Earth...guess how many months?

Yep. 42.

The Cars were one of my favorite bands.

Oh yeah, you said '53. Now that you mention it, it doesn't look much like a '42 does it? Cool car, anyway, you old hippy!

Did they get to number 42?

The Cars? Sure they did.

Mark you are too much!!!!! and quick

Anything for a laugh.

Hey Bill, let me know when you go up to NSAI i'll meet up with y'all. I'm a "coordinator", for what that's worth. I'm fairly new / busy though and so I haven't been there too many times. I've only been like... 42 times. Was at the publisher pitch a few weeks ago but had to leave early. Plus i'm not really looking to pitch my songs, so you know..



Answer for what again?

How come we was talikin' about cows

Why you don't like cows?

Bill, I think Nathan wants to see where the thread will end up. From cows to who knows.
Remember the morality thread? It ended up with people talking about Big Jims avitar. Ben

I bet it wouldn't take 42 of these big guys

This is like...a Big Jim Cow

this one probably holds the record for going in different tangents. I shudder to count how many times.

I love tangerines!

I know a guy who ate 42 of 'em in one sitting!

Gunieps
I like Gunieps
I ate a bunch when I was in Jamaica. at least 42.
Might of been 84. maybe even 126. I was there for a week so it was a lot.

Gave me the runs tho.

It was on the show 42, where terrorists were trying to drive a '42 Cadillac up a 42 degree incline at 42 miles an hour, while singing "forty-two bottles of beer on the wall...", but was stopped by 42 agents from CTU, who stopped them with 42 seconds to spare before a 42 megaton bomb was exploded 42 miles outside of LA.

Jack Bauer got 42 days for DUI.

Keifer Sutherland is 42.

They managed to stop the terrorists with a deluge of 42 tangerines.

That picture Mark posted was taken at the ammo dump on 42nd Ave, and County line 42.

I used to be in the Boys Brigade 42nd Battalion.... straight up.

Did you get 42 whacks as part of your initiation?

Now you are just showing off. I tried to get a picture a while back but my stupid pc will not cut and paste. Well it cuts but it will not paste onto the post. It is greyed out. What can I do.

at 42 degrees north/42 degrees east falls the city of Dzhumati, Georgia...and I ain't talkin' about the Georgia with the good peaches

I used to be a truck driver and 42 was a sign off for the evening. So basically 42 meant done goodbye and good night. I looked it up on wikipedia and it also means this. I especially like fatality

end duty
"Flush and Clean"
traffic accident at ___
malicious mischief
request dispatch times
Home
fatality

I'd go with the malicious mischief. But lay off the malice.

I'm with you Big Jim!
Derek

Dude, ya know, I think Bauer got 42 days for like, 420 ya know? giggle giggle exhale.....Whoops, here comes a spaceship, gotta grab my babble fish....

Midnite
