We had a series going around Atlanta at one time. Here are a few:


You know you're a rural Georgia astronomer if:

(1) the most important part of your instrumentation is the pickup truck.

(2) the sheriff has more than once mistaken your Dobsonian for a still.

(3) you have a Telrad on your deer rifle.

(4) your battery box plays 8-track tapes.

(5) you have a Tasco refractor up on blocks in your front yard.

Any others?

It can be found on www.astronomylinks.com. I was a little curious why you
credited nobody, including myself, for any of the material included. You
did state that it was taken from SAA and I really am flattered that one of
my entries was included, but it would have been nice to have been asked, or
at the least, notified that you were using it without credit.

The problem with crediting is that there are cases when parts of a joke
came from many contributions to a thread and it becomes a nightmare ....
you would also be surprised how it also distracts from the content when
every line is accompanied by a name and/or email address. I tried the
latter (name and email) and it honestly distracts.

The simplest and quickest was to credit the high-level source (s.a.a.)
and allow anyone interested in tracing any of these back to simply do a
search using Google or something similar.

Paul,

I don't remember where I stumbled across it but have been going there for a
couple of years. . .usually to check the "astrowire" section and to see what
new astro downloads are available. Great site, don't you think?
