Do you have "the knack"?

Ok, you can thank my boyfriend for finding this...

A great portion of FIRST can certainly be diagnosed as having "the knack." Listen and see for yourself if you've come down with this condition.

Re: Do you have "the knack"?

Jess/Jess' Boyfriend, I applaud this amazing find!! The part I liked most was the " "Utter Social Ineptitude". That sure describes all of use true FIRST lovers.

Re: Do you have "the knack"?

What I think I'm afflicted with is the antethesis of "the Knack". The Whack. The inability to do anything technical.

Re: Do you have "the knack"?

It's from dilbert the television show - Season 1, ep. 9, title "The Knack." Hillarious tv show I have the entire series on DVD and I could probably rip that one segment to XviD if someone really wants. Darn, I love the garbage man

Re: Do you have "the knack"?

A couple of years ago there was a longer version floating around the net. This is just the tag end. Previous to this "junior" has taken apart the doctor's non-functioning VCR and turned it into a stereo or some such thing. I lost my copy during an "upgrade" at work. If anybody has a pointer to the full version it would be great if they could post it here.
