What part was the Alfred Bester reference?
All your Bank Curve Subgroup A Subassembly Bs are belong to us.
I thought Scylla had turned into a Vietnamese prostitute.
“Fucky fucky long time, but first I build coaster!”
“I kill you filthy.”
The line comes from The Stars, My Destination. Good book.
Thanks! I admit to not ever even having heard of Alfred Bester before. I googled him and read his bio with interest, though.
Yeah, that was my take on his schtick, too. 
Bank Curve Subgroup A Subassembly B: I burning your dog.
Feh! You think the roller coaster is tough, try building the goddamn K’nex Death Ray.
I still havn’t finished my K’nex Perpetual Motion Machine.
How 'bout the K’nex sexbot? That took months.
You can also read it as Rorschach’s big speech to his psychiatrist in Watchmen.
Take heart, Scylla. May be you not have skill do big mechanic job, but you have plenty skill for write mechanic instruction manual. Take time, do not rush, enjoy writing mechanic instruction manual. Make many other parent happy Christmas morning!

I read it as a Tarzan voice and laughed my ass off. I was at my desk at work trying desperately not to laugh out loud. Instead I made squeeky wheezing noises while trying to hold back. I’m so glad no one walked by.
Do it for Great Justice!
You should have given her the box to play with.
Ah…so it’s a 1920s style…roller…
…coaster…thingy…

I’ve tried assembling big K’nex kits before. It’s like trying to make a bong-driven fission plant out of a dead yak, thirteen toothpicks, and a bottle of gin.
So… is it done yet, or what?
Is it done yet?
I have a question.
When you say
I Kill You Filthy, Bank Curve Subgroup A Subassembly B
Do you mean that the Bank Curve Subgroup A Subassembly B is Filthy?
Or
That the method of killing will be ‘filthy’?
Or
Are you using Filthy as a pronoun for Bank Curve Subgroup A Subassembly B?
I’m going to be saying “I Kill You Filthy” quite in the future and I want to make sure I’m using it correctly.
Thank you.
I’ll send Ivyboy over to your house next time you get a K’nex.
He also got a 3 foot high roller coaster (that can be constructed into three different designs) and had that thing up and running in about an hour.
He’s 14, btw.
I am pathetic.
I had a dream. I had NOT EVEN READ THIS THREAD. I was driving on a road, and behold an exit came up for “Subassembly B”. I took it, of course, because I am pathetic. And it led to nothing.
I don’t know what this means. It may or may not have something to do with the 400+ mile drive I had yesterday.
[sub]I’m addicted, I admit it. I can’t stop. But at least I don’t have to admit defeat to Bank Curve Subgroup A Subassembly B. I still have some manhood left…[/sub]
