Drug Runner I can't imagine how much fuel that thing must use when running wide-open. Check out the Spider-Shaped Boat on the following page, too.

Thanks for sharing, Newt. I needed a good laugh.

Ainsley has apparently been living on the dark side of the moon, methinks.

That should have been titled, Scenes From an Insane Asylum. Welcome back, Ian.

Didn't Rod Stewart play harmonica in the background on that one? If not I think it was some other absurd song, early on in his career.

Precious and few, by Climax OR Feelings, by Morris Albert Both just AWFUL.

I recall Gerry Castles (aka Argyll) once commenting that if someone wants to leave the forums they should just leave, without making a fuss, or complaining, or explaining, or raising hell, etc. Just leave. End of story. And don't let the door hit you in the arse on the way out, or something to that effect. Made sense to me, anyhow.

Sound like you need to get something straight between you and her.

That happened to a friend while fishing with me a few years ago. He sat down and watched his phone fall out of his pocket and splashdown in 150 fow over the side. I, at least, had a good laugh. I take it you didn't block the sim card, then?

Pretty comical.

I just installed new kitchen cabinetry for a client; they had another company install black granite on the countertops. Great looking stuff, but I didn't care for the seam connecting two sections. Also, granite is a porous surface unlike Corian or laminate products, so care has to be taken not to stain it or ruin it by exposing it to oils, etc. On the other hand, it looks fantastic, particularly with the tile backsplash they selected. I can post a photo or two next week if you wish.

Fairly popular now that all open water except the fastest rivers are iced over. You can catch pike, walleye, perch, steelhead, etc. - the same species as in summer. Personally I like to fish for speckled bass (crappies) at night with a lantern. I lower an underwater light through an adjacent hole which draws them in, then tip a teardrop lure with a grub and jig it. I can "see" the lure and any fish on my Vexilar flasher, which makes it easy to adjust to suspended fish. Great fun.

Right. You could catch a brown trout.

I wish this setup belonged to me.

I liked #7, myself.

If you answered "C" more than 7 times, "YOU DA MAN"

I love that video. It's a scene from Reno 911, but even though it's just an act it's very funny. Thanks for posting it! Snopes

Good one, Peter.

Sigh. The 2008 campaigning season has begun. Hillary and Obama are the best the Dems can come up with. Personally I hope McCain does well.

Well done, Elton. Now go to bed. It's way past your bedtime.

I typically use Schlage keylocks and deadbolts on my jobs, and have installed them in my home entry doors, but when I get a chance I'm going to test them. Haven't had any burglaries in my area, but you never know.

The weather has been a bit harsh in my neck of the woods the past few days; wind and snow combined to create this interesting sculpture on the handrail in back of my house:

-18 c. here overnight. The front of my home looks chilly, doesn't it? I put out bread and seed for the birds but it must be too cold; even the squirrels haven't shown up.

Dang, Chesters, you have green grass without snow. Nice. I probably should not ask this, but why do you call that a toilet tent?

Newt about said it all. Now they have something called "Competitive Cheer" in the high schools in which squads of girls perform whole routines at tournaments, and are judged for their performances. And they take it quite seriously. Do you have that down your way, Newt?
