Ask the Tech Answer Guy About the Framistat

Yo, Tech Answer Guy,

Lately, I've been having trouble with my framistat. Any suggestions?

Sincerely,
Bah-Ri in Bahrain

Yo, Bah-Ri,

I find that cleaning out the sedge pump helps maximize the efficiency of a framistat. Of course, that assumes that there isn't a hole in the feed line from the gluten pan - that could also maybe be the source of your problem. To be on the safe side, you might want to remove the gluten pan feed line and do a licorice honey test on it. Why not? Even if you don't find anything, you end up with a tub full of licorice honey, and it is both tasty and has a million and one uses in the home.

Yo, Tech Answer Guy,

When Bah-Ri in Bahrain recently asked for help with his framistat, you suggested that he clean out the sedge pump. Are you sure that's the right advice? Because, I'm pretty sure they stopped making framistats with sedge pumps back in '93. Don't modern framistats come with hyper-air injection dongles?

Yo, Hui-Fing,

I think you're thinking of the Elysian framistat. Those are quite rare, and probably more expensive than my readers can afford. I'm not casting aspersions on anybody's career choices, I'm just saying. I was thinking of the homeostatic framistat which has never come with hyper-air injection dongles - they would get in the way of the Gordian piston knots. And, even the most inexperienced engineer knows that allowing anything to get in the way of Gordian piston knots can only lead to madness.

Yo, Tech Answer Guy,

Are you sure you aren't confusing homeostatic framistats with framistatic homeostats? Your average homeostatic framistat sedge pump only gets 15 square inches to the decaliter. Your average framistatic homeostat sedge pump, by way of contrast, gets as much as 127 square inches to the decaliter (in country driving on a warm and cloudless day with a professional rodeo clown behind the wheel). That would put a whole different spin on Bah-Ri in Bahrain's question, don't you think?

Yo, Fugard,

I considered the possibility that Bah-Ri in Bahrain was talking about a framistatic homeostat, but they tend to seize up in warm weather, and, consequently, are only found in heavy machinery close to the poles. Your basic homeostatic framistat, on the other hand, is heavily lubricated with spam, and good to go in all climates.

The Tech Answer Guy

Yo, Tech Answer Guy,

I think you're selling the framistatic homeostat short. Three years ago, Northrop-Grumman (which doesn't actually make any products containing framistats, but had a few engineers lying around idle because of the recession and decided to throw at the problem) came up with the recession-proof kludge to the framistatic homeostat's seizure tendencies. Road and Diver magazine gave it three and a half stars (out of 17.241), even though framistats aren't parts of cars. That's how impressed they were. I think that if you gave the framistatic homeostat with the recession-proof kludge another look, you might come to have more respect for it.

Leon in Lemuria

Yo, Leon,

Oh, I have given the framistatic homeostat another look because of the recession-proof kludge. Lots of looks. In fact, I took it to dinner several times. Not to fancy restaurants, either, because, frankly, I realized from the first date that the framistatic homeostat would show its recession-proof kludges to any guy who was nice to it. Sorry, but I just couldn't find it in me to respect it in the morning.

Yo, Tech Answer Guy,

I'm sorry, but I don't see how any of this will help me get the framistat in my vacuubot working better.

Sincerely,
Bah-Ri in Bahrain

Yo, Bah-Ri,

The framistat in your vacuubot? I thought you were talking about the framistat in your Home PortalTM! Really, how am I supposed to give you good advice when you can't even articulate the problem properly!
