I give up!

[woodrat]

Ok....I finally give up....I can't figure it out....After all this
time I still don't know what BORG stands for other than a
Star Trek TNC creation.

So WHAT does it mean? I've thought Big Ole Red Garage,
and other variations. :BangHead:

Thanks,

Woodrat

HTH, Dave

 

[jeff...]

Oh and all this time I thought the intent of BORG was "We will assimilate you" and "resistance is futile". Shows how much I know :-D

 

[DaveO]

Jeff...that is the intent of the BORG stores also, do you see new Ace or True Value Hardware stores opening up. The BORGs are assimilating the Mom & Pop hardware store, and the resistance is futile.

From the Lexicon: BORG - Villians on Star Trek: the Next Generation TV series who vow to assimilate all. Used to describe big box stores whose predatory marketing similarly threatens the smaller competitors. (Big Orange Retail Giant)

See how much you know :-D

He he he.....

I felt the same way for months about DAMHIKT.

 

[woodrat]

Thanks for the insight.

I knew it must have something to do places of interest to woodworkers.
I kept trying to fit the acronym(sp) to Home Depot. Their being orange
and all but couldn't make the rest of it fit. :-?

Thanks again fellas,

Woodrat

ps: Any of you know where I can get 2(two) 5 1/2"w x 3/4"t x 6'L
pieces of red oak planed flat & maybe edge joined? Got a project
for a friend and found that the lumber is not square and flat. I will be
useing, for my first time ever, dovetails to join the corners and need
them flat and square. I'd be willing to pay for the service.

Thanks.

You're welcome to bring them by my shop if I'm close to you. I live about 3 miles from the I-40/Hwy.42 intersection. I'll be around all weekend :eusa_danc

Thanks DavO. It is good of you to offer. Send me an email with an
address & phone #, if you don't mind, and we can set up a time.

Thanks again, Woodrat
