That first one -at about 15:45. Takes a bite, says it is spicy but not as spicy as he thought it would be. Chews a couple more times - there it is! Reminds me of back when I used to hang around with a bunch of people that enjoyed eating Szechuan Chinese food. We would refer to peppers as being either "one bite hot" or "two bite hot". If it was less than two bite hot it wasn't really considered a hot pepper. The terms referred to biting into the food. If as soon as you bite into it your mouth starts burning - that's one bite hot. If you have to take two bites before it starts to burn - two bite hot. His salsa verde appeared to be two bite hot.

I have seen a couple of video clips, which appear to be from a Superman movie. Clark and Lois are married and have at least one kid. In the clip somebody has done something to their son and Clark is annoyed. That's as far as the clip goes - it's a short. But I've been trying to find out what movie that's from. Duck duck Go does not have any idea. No matter how I phrase the search, they can't come up with that movie. Sound familiar to anyone?

I carried one of those. I don't know what the actual name of it is - we called it a Huffer. It worked fine on my 69 F100. Tried to use it one time on a friend of mine's '90-something Chevrolet, and his spark plugs were on the bottom of the engine. We got it done but - man oh man was it a pain in the butt.

Cost is based on what they think they can get away with. Back in the late 90s I got my insurance statement and my premium had doubled. So I called and asked what the deal was, since I had not had a claim or a ticket in over 15 years. They informed me that Florida drivers were crappy drivers and as a rule they had to pay out a whole lot to Florida drivers. So they had increased the premium for everybody in Florida. And I told them to go micturate on a vertical lariat, and found a different insurance company.

Back in the early eighties, I read about this in an off-roading magazine. Back then pipe bumpers quite common on pickups. And this one fella had capped off the pipes, and installed a Schrader valve. He then filled his bumpers up with high pressure air. One of the ways to get out of soft sand is to deflate your tire down to about 10 pounds. This will basically double your footprint. But once you get out of the sand on the hard surface it really helps to be able to put some air back in the tire. So that's why he carried air in his bumpers. The story I am currently reading, Scott is helping his friend Ed sand his truck and prep it and get it ready for going to the painter. As a result Scott is covered with dust and crap. And that bumper came crawling up out of memory and I was thinking that if Scott had those bumpers on his truck he could blow himself off. But then I got to wondering what the result would be of hitting something with this bumper full of high pressure air. Could it be dangerous? Because I know I haven't heard anything about it since the early 1980s. Which makes it seem like it's one of those great ideas that failed.

And you thought his diaper smelled NOW!

I wonder if this is the same guy?

You ever see somebody post something on YouTube, and you think, "oh my dear God what the hell is he doing? Somebody please take that away from him!" The guy says that he is playing his very best. The cello is fine. But somebody should have took that licorice stick and beat him with it. That woulda probably sounded better.

I believe I would have taken the dress off. They showed one of the guys running and he certainly appeared to have a pair of pants on underneath that skirt. And the dresses looked like they were nylon. If I had a choice between fighting a fire bare-chested while wearing cotton jeans, or wearing a nylon dress that covered my upper body - I would lose that dress in a heartbeat.

"We do things we're not supposed to when you're not around." I love it.

I did not follow this back to YouTube, but I was tempted. I was curious as to how many people in the comments were raising hell about those people. The Billy Ray Cyrus wannabe on the end, drinking a beer. While handling guns!!!???? OH MY GAWD!!!!! Then the guy next to him with that sturmgewagh casually pointed at his brother all through the video. It did not upset me, because I assumed the gun to be empty, and even if it wasn't I wasn't going to get shot. But YouTube commenters - I figure they all lost their minds. The same way with Dad there. If he cleared that Python I missed it.

I was surprised to read, in that link, that in England they considered them guns. I thought over there they were just considered - like a sling, or scope caps - an accessory.

I remember, from the TNT miniseries Rough riders. Roosevelt insisting that his volunteers would have to have the Krag carbine with the smokeless ammunition.

They need to have a recall election, vote all those people out and elect a new city council. Maybe the new council could also vote to change pi to 3.0. It would sure make math easier.

This is interesting. 150-page pamphlet, published in 1899, on the history of slavery in Canada. Since, as we all know, in the entire history of the world slavery only existed in the Southern United States, reading this was quite illuminating. (sarcasm mode disengaged) Whenever I would read about slavery in the early and mid 1800s, they would always mention the underground railroad, and slaves running North for freedom, and usually headed for Canada. Because Canada did not have slaves. It just sounded like Canada never had slaves. That the whole idea of slavery was appalling to Canadians. It was nice to find out that they were just like the rest of us - and by the rest of us I mean everybody else in the world down through history. If they could get somebody to work for them and not have to pay them, they were all for it. https://www.fadedpage.com/books/20250608/cover.jpg https://www.fadedpage.com/showbook.php?pid=20250608

When I was in Little League - and that was 55 years ago - both the first base coach and the third base coach were members of the team. They were not adults. They were kids, just like the rest of us. That's why I suspect this was the coach. If he had been a runner, picking up the ball would have made him out. And the other runner coming to him would have had two people on third base, so that would have made them both out. Seems like if he was a base runner, the coach would have been standing outside the dugout waving his arm and screaming, "BILLY!! RUN FOR HOME!!!!" At least if I was the coach I would have been.

You made a little error there Sage. Just like the 30 carbine was always loaded with non corrosive primers, the 30 40 Krag was always loaded with smokeless powder. It was the first smokeless powder cartridge used by the US military. All of the other volunteer units - excepting for Roosevelt's Rough Riders - were armed with trapdoor Springfields. So yes, there was much black powder smoke in the air. But none of it came from the Krags.

There is an author. He has about seven or eight series of books. Eight or nine books in each series. So he's got some 75 or so books. In these books he has people driving Jeeps, Mercedes, Chevrolets, Opals, Porsches, and Fords. He has people shooting Smith & Wesson revolvers, Colt revolvers, Winchester lever action rifles, Remington shotguns, M1 rifles, and Thompson submachine guns. All of these things actually exist. Then in one of his books he has this Mafiosi. The godfather is very rich. And he is a classically trained violinist. So in this book he is playing along, from memory, with a recording of some symphony orchestra. Now I would expect that this guy would have a Stradivarius. But no. He plays a Strenelli, for which he had paid over $70,000 (this was in the early 1970s). I had never heard of a Strenelli, so I looked it up. To see how it compared, monetarily, with a Stradivarius. According to the search engine, the only mention of a Strenelli violin - in the history of the world - is in that book. Obviously the author made the brand up. Now if he has the hero drive a Porsche 911 and occasionally a Volkswagen Beetle, and carry a Smith & Wesson revolver - all three of which things actually exist - why would he not use an actual real violin name in his story? It's not like he's going to have to pay a royalty to Mr Stradivari for using his name. The man's been dead over 300 years.

Actually he designed it in conjunction with the 1905. https://www.nramuseum.org/guns/the-galleries/world-war-i-and-firearms-innovation/case-36-great-inventors/colt-model-1905-45-automatic-pistol.aspx

Kinda makes me think of the cowardly Lion. When he first shows up in the movie, and he's dancing around like a boxer - put 'em up, put 'em up - just showing that he's ready to beat the hell out of anybody that wants to fight. And that cactus is talking to John Wayne - come on Big Boy, take a shot at me!!
