At least the hat doesn't look as bad as a PITA hat.

I wonder if the bat hat is ITAR restricted?

Do we allow four letter acronyms in this game? I thought PITA was going to be used as an acronym before being shocked by the link.

SITA would be allowed (either way) - but not iota, sadly

n5bb · 7 Sep 2014, 02:48 AM

Well, this SITE shows that iota can be an acronym, but that might not matter one iota to you.

David · 7 Sep 2014, 03:14 AM

Iota would not fit because of the placement of the letter O - after removing the letter R (from itar) - in that ITEM at least.

Well, if you bend the rules just a MITE ....

David · 7 Sep 2014, 07:34 AM

I certainly will not BITE at that

n5bb · 7 Sep 2014, 01:05 PM

My purpose was just to CITE the iota acronym. I realized it didn't fit due to our rules. It's amazing that we have continued this long without failing to find a word which fits!

That's quite CUTE....

Here (for your enjoyment) is the Cubli, a magic CUBE no less

There also is a magic eye TUBE.

I'm no RUBE -- I used both the 6E5 and 6FG6 indicator tubes about 40 years ago in various electronic equipment.

It would be very RUDE to doubt your familiarity with various electronic equipment

David · 15 Sep 2014, 07:10 AM

Long ago, a RUNE had been carved in the center of the tube.

Your buddy RENE must have been using a General Electric (GE) brand 6E5.
