No. You know what?
I'm not going to do it this time.

I don't want to be anal about this, but is their company name trademarked?
Posted by: ArcticAl | October 04, 2006 at 06:25 PM
Are they based on Uranus?

Tech? What's wrong with Tech?

There's a company over in Kilgore called Analab, and I've seriously felt like the only person around here who saw a joke in that. Of course, as many people as they hire, everyone might just be afraid of bad karma.

No butts about it, Dave, you nailed this one. This company is assking for trouble. I wonder if they ever get behind in their work?
Posted by: ShadowKatmandu | October 04, 2006 at 06:46 PM
I'm sure they'll be bringing up the rear in their field.

Paris Hilton is pressing charges against some broad that hit her.
Link, anyone?
Posted by: Brian | October 04, 2006 at 07:47 PM
I e-mailed their Sales address to see what they say to this:
Hi. I heard about Analtech, so I visited your website. I don't really understand your homepage but I do like your logo!
However, I can't find any Analtech company brand gear on your website, even using "Search". So I need to know where you show your name and/or logo Tshirts, hats, or other wearables. Or even water bottles etc., especially if they have nozzle spouts.
Of course Tender Loving Care is a good thing in any anal technology. But I myself don't need a TLC slogan, just the Analtech name with the triangular company logo of entry to a gastrointestinal structure.
Please e-mail me the URL for your Tshirts, hats, or similar such logo wear. I'd like to order some for delivery this month. You'll be a big hit in our paramedical units here in NYC. Thanks!
-- and I'll keep you posted somewhere if I get a response (right here, if it's soon).

This reminds me of a joke that us biotech types find snorting hillarious. Did you hear about the new biotech company based in Rome? Yeah, it is called GenItalia.

*snork* @ FOH.
I was curious as to what an AnalTech Clearance Item might be, but not curious enought to click it.
Oh and Shadow, your hostess here was the SB, aka Nut Maybe Judi.
P.S. Lost schmost... I see House is on @ 9!
Posted by: CJrun | October 04, 2006 at 08:16 PM
I might have to move to Rome to work for that company.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | October 04, 2006 at 08:16 PM
YAY for House actually being on!

Hate to rain on your parade of "anal humor" but this is one case of mispronouncing their name. I have known about this company way back in the 1960s and we used their products in our lab. The name is an amalgamation of "Analytical Technologies". I must admit that in the last 40 years or so, I never in a million years ever thought of it as you guys describe it! Wow. Do you think Freud would have anything to say about that (either my not recognizing the "anal part" or your taking it as anal). Interesting.
Posted by: Red Rat | October 04, 2006 at 08:24 PM
course we're mispronouncing the name - that would be the fun part
Posted by: TCK | October 04, 2006 at 08:28 PM
ooooookay.......

Posted by: Siouxie | October 04, 2006 at 08:42 PM
Artchick: definitely noticed that, but got stuck on just what a Clearance Item would be, if it was from AnalTech. Made me shudder and think about Mud's Godzilla Fart song.
*snork* @ Sio
DPC, I loved the line last week [to Cameron] 'why can't you be like all the other age-inappropriate females and just love me the way I am?' [that and 'No! Noooooooo!]

what'd I miss?
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 04, 2006 at 08:58 PM
Ahhhhhhhgh! [House is a re-run].
Wyo, please check the Clearance Items, I'm afraid to look!
Posted by: CJrun | October 04, 2006 at 09:01 PM
Wyo -
1. Company w/ funny name
2. Hilarity ensues
3. someone called Red Rat telling us its not really funny.
4. more hilarity ensues because we like it that way
Posted by: OkieDokie | October 04, 2006 at 09:03 PM
Time to go huntin' rats?
Thanks Okie, I'll catch up soon, but a quick overview is handy.
CJ, you'll appreciate this from today's paper.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 04, 2006 at 09:05 PM
Actually, this might be useful:
'Centered between the lamp ports is an integrally UV filtered viewing port with a plastic eye shield.'
Definitely what I would need if I was too close to AnalTech.
Posted by: CJrun | October 04, 2006 at 09:07 PM
but I don't have a plastic eye.
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 04, 2006 at 09:09 PM
Wyo, that was a hilarious revenge shot. Somehow tourists just don't get that real critters aren't cartoons. A crowd chased a young male into my car close to there, taking pictures the whole way.
*did I just say 'chased a young male into my car?' Goes to check mailbox for name 'Foley'*
Posted by: CJrun | October 04, 2006 at 09:38 PM
You must have been wearin' your safety glasses when you commenced slicing digits to not need the shield for a plastic eye.
Posted by: CJrun | October 04, 2006 at 09:47 PM
Rerun or not, I enjoyed House. Shots of Cuddy's butt make it especially worthwile.
I work with a bunch of scientists who proudly admit to being anal chemists. You can pronounce that however you'd like and they would agree.
Posted by: The Dread Pirate Chris | October 04, 2006 at 10:09 PM
OK so who watched LOST???
I'm going to see it online again tomorrow...those first few mins are VERY interesting!
Chris, I didn't get to see House cuz they weren't showing it HERE...but I haven't missed ONE yet! love it!
Posted by: Siouxie | October 04, 2006 at 10:30 PM

*unfunny alert*
I know I haven't been around for very long, but I just wanted y'all to know that 1) three weeks ago my mom fell and landed in the emergency room and 2) a week after that she was back in the emergency room with severe abdominal pain. I've been at the hospital with her all day every day since and while she's finally been diagnosed, treated, and is feeling better, there's still a lot to deal with and pretty much the only thing that's kept me from running into traffic is being able to grab a few minutes at the end of my day to read the blog and chuckle at all you fine, fine individuals. *Stops for a breath*
So I just wanted to say thanks. I'll be back again as soon as possible.
*end of unfunny alert*
Posted by: Just Ducky | October 04, 2006 at 10:36 PM
Ducky, I hope your mom gets better soon! I had a similar experience lately with MY mom. She's still at the hospital but getting better and ready to go to a rehab center tomorow...hopefully!
I can say that being here at the blog has kept ME sane as well...
my prayers and good thoughts are with you...
/end empathy rant
Posted by: Siouxie | October 04, 2006 at 10:39 PM
Ducky, you get a double-shot of
Cuddy'sHouse's Butt.Hang in there.
Posted by: CJrun | October 04, 2006 at 10:43 PM
New House? Where? When?
I missed the season premiere of Lost tonight because my father left the VCR on, and pre-scheduled recordings won't start on our VCR unless it's off. !@#$%*+
Posted by: Bumble | October 04, 2006 at 10:45 PM
Bumble, you can watch it online @ abc.com after tonight. IT was awesome!!!!
House was a re-run
Posted by: Siouxie | October 04, 2006 at 10:46 PM
Ah. I am relieved (about House).
Yeah, somebody else told me that too (about Lost), but abc.com wasn't real clear. Do I watch it on the website or download it? And if it's the former, is there a specific time, or can I watch it any time?
Posted by: Bumble | October 04, 2006 at 10:51 PM
Thinking about how a topic degenerates from AnalTech to House Butt in 40-posts reminded me of this gem I found when I was tracking another topic back:
'You know, there aren't that many places you can go and read the question "Has anyone tried monkey with the French guy?"
Posted by: Jon | 08:34 AM on March 10, 2004'
Dave sent bloglits to a website with speech generators from different countries.
*snork*
Posted by: CJrun | October 04, 2006 at 10:55 PM
I believe they'll have it available to watch online...like they did last season. It used to be anytime. I'm going to try to see that again tomorrow.
Posted by: Siouxie | October 04, 2006 at 10:55 PM
*snork* CJ!
Leave it to the Blog to expand our horizons...
Posted by: Siouxie | October 04, 2006 at 10:56 PM
Sioux, my last email to you oughta expand yer horizons, eh?
Posted by: Wyo Cowboy | October 04, 2006 at 11:03 PM
LOL got it!
Posted by: Siouxie | October 04, 2006 at 11:07 PM
speaking of butts...YIKES!
Posted by: Siouxie | October 04, 2006 at 11:08 PM
Sent you a horizon that you occupy, Wyo. Not snorkable, but my favorite laptop spot when I'm out there.
Posted by: CJrun | October 04, 2006 at 11:22 PM
CJ?? where are you currently living? I was under the impression that you were a Florida bloglit.
Posted by: Siouxie | October 04, 2006 at 11:26 PM
St. Pete. But I have been through Wyoming many times.
I had to go compress it but this is the horizon looking towards Thermopolis, from the west. Where I set up my laptop when visiting my brother. I sent it to Wyo as it's an interesting use of rudimentary cabinets.

Analtech --- not your father's butt plug.
With a name like Analtech, it's got to be good.
Pardon me, would you have any Analtech?
Posted by: Stevie W | October 05, 2006 at 04:04 AM
A man, a plan, a canal - Analtech.
Posted by: Stevie W | October 05, 2006 at 04:09 AM
Anal Tech --Wasn't that the school "Grease" was set in?
-Greased lightnin', go greased lightnin'...
-Summer days driftin' away, but oh, that bum was tight. Wella, wella, wella oomph!

i see the banner now at their anual, er annual meeting. hmmph. 'welcome analtech staff', etc. i guess they enjoy their work and leave all their cares behind.

I guess folks are each wired in their own way, but I could no more look at "Analtech" and NOT see anal than I could look at Aaron Neville and NOT see the mole on his forehead.
(While traveling in the south, I pulled of an exit to fuel up and turning at the end of the ramp saw a "Fuel Mart". My children and I immediately burst out laughing, while my humor-impaired wife said "What? What?" - discuss)
I suggest that our Red friend may have a mild case of humor impairment. I know his Daveness wrote about this subject some time ago - bbut what do you bloglits think? What can Red Rover do to enhance his humor accuity?
Here's what I thought of as a suggested humor-impairment therapy: Drink a fifth of vodka, then spend severeal hours rolling in the backyard, inhaling random insects and studying individual blades of grass.
