Self-Sealing Stem Bolts




Nobody Seems To Know What A Self-Sealing Stem Bolt Actually Does

I guess you could trade them for land, or perhaps make a reverse-ratcheting routing planer.

There are millions of different tools and fasteners deployed by people all over. One of them is the self-sealing stem bolt, and despite this fastener being reliable and even used in trade nobody seems to know what they do. In fact, for much of my time in this industry I have never seen one of these, let alone used one.

As you all know, in my day job I wrench on a lot of stuff. If I’m not keeping a station up and running I’m repairing runabouts and all kinds of ships that come to our dock. I’ve had some bad luck through my years on the job. It seems as if at least once a year I have to endure through some hardship of some kind. I mean, this one time my wife told me to do a bunch of confusing stuff without telling me why. Another time, I was assumed guilty in a trial where I was alleged to be working with some bad guys. O’Brien must suffer, I guess. But hey, through all of it I still kept things running.

Still, when the son of a captain and his friend ended up with 100 gross self-sealing stem bolts I had no idea what they were.

Amazingly, they got them on trade for 5,000 wrappages of Cardassian yamok sauce to a freighter captain. And through their company, the Noh-Jay Consortium, they managed to trade the self-sealing stem bolts for seven tessipates of land on Bajor.

That gives you more than enough Square kerripates to grow some yelg melons.

Six years later, I decided to teach a class so I could tell folks the difference between one of these and a warp matrix flux capacitor.

I guess if you don’t know what to do with these, you could just get rid of them for some land. You can also use self-sealing stem bolts in the production of a reverse-ratcheting routing planer. And in a pinch, a self-sealing stem bolt may be able to be used as an escape tool.

Should you have the need to attempt to figure out what you need a self-sealing stem bolt for, one of them sold for $2,040. Since they’re antiques today and you can get them for about $37.

Do you know of a weird or unique but must-have tool that every 24th century wrencher should know about? Beam your suggestion right to my inbox. I also accept Romulan ale.

Yeah, me too.
Now they need to make them in larger sizes with MOLLE attachments.

Careful! Don't put too many on or your rifle will float away! You'll look pretty silly running down the street jumping up trying to catch it.

New Land ROver Supercar

oday, British 4x4 specialist Land Rover has announced the next Land Rover Discovery will be a lightweight sports car.

Tired of all the traditional sports car makers – Ferrari, Lamborghini, Alpine, Aston Martin and now even Lotus – muscling onto its patch with big lifestyle SUVs, Land Rover has decided to beat them all at their own game.

“We reckon there’s a real gap in the market for Land Rover to deliver a purists’ driving machine,” a Land Rover spokesman told TopGear.com.

“As all of the sports car brands scramble to copy our Range Rover Sport, we’ve calculated sales of a halo sports car could top almost eight units per year, making it twice as popular as the Evoque Cabriolet.”

So why the change of direction for the deluxe Disco-4x4?

“Turns out no-one really wanted a massive, wonky-arsed, school run tank. But we realised if we just flipped the platform around, we had the perfect basis for a mid-engined, 4WD sports car. With a wonky face.”

Introducing our revolutionary O/U/U. Regulations allow for three shots regardless of the bird you hunt, so why not shoulder three barrels? Find the name of our newest model by zooming in on the barrel.

Ha! San Diego Web Cam is promoting today’s Submarine Races, 2nd Annual today. I think the coast Guard may be in in this too. You’ll have to go to YouTube for the San Diego Web cam.

They’ve pinned on thei comment that you’ll need your special underwater glasses to see it.

LockPickingLawyer has done a funny April Fools video every year for the past several years, along the same line with the innuendos about his wife.

If you liked that one, check out all his previous ones.

Thank you for pointing those out Rogue. The way he delivers the commentary is what makes them so funny.

Of all the things that come with April 1st, the LPL’s videos are my favorite.
