He caught you, Jan. A Buckeye is nothing more than a nut. Oh,howIhateohiostate!

Actually, I was referring to "Fonzie" of "Happy Days." You've seen it?

You mean to tell me that we exported that crap, too??

It just got worse, Corydoras. READ HERE

You should be scalped for that one.

I once saw a guy with a lawnmower without the engine on the infield at the Indy 500, right after it ended. He was repeatedly smashing it against a parking post while cursing drunken oaths. Really weird. Then another drunk atop a nearby motor home said, "Hey man, when you're done with that you can do my lawn."

Or, how to be cruel to the old guys:

I for one am eagerly looking forward to Saturday's patriotic event. But you can bet that my bony a** won't be parked in front of the local retirement home.

Not familiar, but Invader used to manufacture downrigging equipment about 30 years ago, if that's the same company. Marginal quality. I guess that would be why they got squeezed out of the market by Walker, Cannon, and others.

Wow, what an unusual story.

I recall that Schlitz ads said something like, "You only go around once so grab all the gusto you can", or something stupid like that. Sounds like you grabbed some gusto at sea, Cory. What was that about? If you play one of the tracks - I think CD #2 - from Cream's Those Were The Days CD set, the last "song" is an ad for Falstaff beer that they recorded back in the '60s. It is so corny you can't even believe they stooped to do that.

Lol! Meister Brau. I drank a case of that cheap swill with a buddy of mine one night years ago and thought someone parked a truck on my head when I awoke the next morning. Worst hangover ever. His wife still mocks him for choking into the commode most of the next day.

Excellent. The only ship missing would be the USS Hillary Clinton. Wonder what that vessel might look like?

Her name was Bertha, Bertha Butt -- she's one of da Butt sisters Youtube Video ->

I like that phrase. Reminds me of a similar one by W. Churchill, "Unwisdom reigned".

Many thanks, Dog Fish.

Ditto. A lot of conservatives hate McCain because he's a maverick and has a history of refusing to toe the party line, or vote as the Bush Administration wished. Obama seems to have a handle on how to use the Internet to raise campaign funds, which, as I understand it, is a major reason he came out of nowhere to defeat Team Clinton. And just think, we have over four more months of this horsesh*t.

Interesting. Perhaps I could get an ID on this one, which I photographed last summer in my garage one night. Its size was about 4 inches between wingtips, and is apparently native to the Great Lakes region of North America.

Excellent. The freshman senator from Illinois has zero accomplishments and boneheads like this guy support him. One thing's for sure though - if he's elected there will be changes.

Alan, your first entry was brilliant.

Strangely enough, Hillary Clinton was the first thought that came to mind when I read that.

The monsoons continue here. Docks at boat launches are nearly submerged now. Still, 25 inches in 36 hours is hard to imagine.

"Oops, I dropped the toothpaste", said Tom, crestfallen.

He needs to be put in a place where he'll never hear the dogs bark (apologies to A. Lincoln's Secretary of War, Stanton).

That would suck. I hope I never see sone like that, up close and personal. I just read that taking shelter under a highway bridge is one of the worst places to take refuge from a twister because they function as a wind tunnel.
