Bad furday 57 Posted August 11, 2009 Thanks all! I few years ago I found a photo of Jackie Stewart that had him in that pose standing next to Graham Hill, and liked the pose enough to find a good use for it in the future ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted August 11, 2009 So, I found a bag of nothing but red starbursts the other day. It was awesome Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted August 12, 2009 I don't like those candies, they irritate the roof of my mouth. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ana 15 Posted August 12, 2009 You mean the bag was labelled all reds, or it just happened to be all reds? Because the original reds are the best, but the other reds they've introduced in the all-red pack aren't my faves. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Radioactive Isotope 29 Posted August 12, 2009 the tropical Starbursts are my favorite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted August 12, 2009 So, my wife said pretty much the most blasphemous thing the other day. They were playing Ep. IV on Spike the other day, so I of course, left it on that channel. She didn't notice right away, so before I got up to go to the kitchen to make dinner, I took the batteries outta the remote, hehe. Well, she was on her laptop and wasn't really paying attention. So after about 10 minutes I went and put the batteries back in. Of course, as soon as I did, she changed the channel. So then she says this: "I would rather you play Halo than to watch friggin' Star Wars!" Part of me died inside. But on the upside, I know what I have to do if I want to play video games...just pop in Star Wars. And she's crazy if she thinks that our son isn't going to like SW. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chickenman 9 Posted August 12, 2009 Isn't she the one that decorated her garage with Star Wars things? :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted August 12, 2009 Yes, but she did cause she knows how much I like it. ;) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mara 29 Posted August 12, 2009 She'll decorate for you, but not watch it with you? Silly. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Because the original reds are the best, but the other reds they've introduced in the all-red pack aren't my faves. It was labelled all reds: Cherry, strawberry, watermelon (which were all good) and fruit punch (not so much) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Princess 35 Posted August 13, 2009 So, I was at a concert down on the river tonight and the Coast Guard Helicopter comes up from Detroit and starts flying in what is obviously a search and rescue pattern. Anyways, halfway through the concert the Rob Stewart Impersonator takes a break and the lady in charge of the concert comes out and apologizes for the helicopter and explains that she had called the Coast Guard to see if this was really necessary and if they were drilling could they please move further down the river. But she was told by the Coast Guard that they were conducting an actual search but they couldn't tell her what for. Dude lady, I'm sorry that someone in distress on the water is interrupting your peaceful concert Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, and it turns out today that they were searching for a guy that lived in a boat with a back brace and found the boat with the keys in it and the dog in the water but the guy's lifejacket wasn't enough to hold him above water.

Andy 60 Posted August 14, 2009 So, I been thinking about making a new website for a while... A geeky one of course, and after much brainstorming for names that conveyed a certain amount of geekyness (and ones that weren't registered already, which was the main problem) I settled on Geekysaurus.com hehe, well I like it. Not sure how the content will be though yet lol. Anyone with ideas are welcome to get involved. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted August 14, 2009 But you gotta love her anyway. Indeed I do. Yeah, and it turns out today that they were searching for a guy that lived in a boat with a back brace and found the boat with the keys in it and the dog in the water but the guy's lifejacket wasn't enough to hold him above water. That sucks. hehe, well I like it. Not sure how the content will be though yet lol. Anyone with ideas are welcome to get involved. I mean, what kind of ideas are you thinking of? You've gotta have some idea the direction you want to take it. :p Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
James the Defender 7 Posted August 16, 2009 I just got my car washed today in the drive-through car wash. It's so purty! She's cleaner than the day I got her! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Uncle Du 22 Posted August 17, 2009 Nice!! I washed mine here in the driveway on Friday, then pulled her in the garage to wax her. I waxed half the car, and was walking around it eyeing my handy work, and realized that it didn't look ANY better with the wax on it. Sore elbow for nothing.

Ender 8 Posted August 17, 2009 (edited) Speaking of cars, I spent yet more money today after getting my Mac... Yup, I've fulfilled a lifetime dream. This isn't the car itself, as I haven't gone to pick it up since I went to see it last week, but it's the same color and model. It's a 1968 Alfa Romeo 1750 GT, the engine's been totally rebuilt, and it's got a new clutch and flywheel. So, ostensibly no problems, and I only paid $2500 for it, which is outstanding considering what this car is. Being an Alfa, though, I anticipate arriving back at my apartment in a cloud of steam. :p Edited August 17, 2009 by Ender Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

James the Defender 7 Posted August 18, 2009 (edited) I just got to try out my Gamo PT-80 pellet pistol. It's great fun! Ender...nice car, dude! So, this customer who is a manager of a different convenience store chain comes in to my work and on a whim I asked her if she was hiring. She said yes. I told her my wife was looking for a job. Long story short... CAITY IS NOW EMPLOYED!!!!!!!!! *drinks all around* Edited August 18, 2009 by James the Defender Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
