I detested high school and most of the people who went there. I never fit into their crowd and have never gone to a reunion either. Someone asked me years ago why I haven't gone to a reunion. I told him "I didn't like those people 30 years ago, I sure as hell aren't going to like them now." I watched American Graffiti when it came out. During the time period it was based in ('62), I was still a toddler so it was hard to relate to it. I enjoyed the movie though and will still watch it when it comes on tv.

I sure as hell didn't need a label maker for that! Ever seen what happens when someone decides to hold a range or dryer receptacle together with metal duct tape....that has a Zinsco breaker....and then plug it in thru the tape? I have three or four times. The results are, shall I say, interesting.

I use tap water (County utility) for cooking and iced tea. The tap water isn't that bad here but years in the construction trade doesn't lend to drinking tap water on job sites, unless you just really want to use the portapotty, so bottled water became the norm with me. I just continued the habit I guess. I keep it refrigerated as I don't care for warm water. When I was a kid we drank out of the garden hose without any ill effects.

Yes. Water , milk, beer, iced tea and Powerade all reside in the fridge.

No matter what the manner of death was, it was tragic. She was an incredibly talented singer.

Didn't Mama Cass request that? Ham sandwich if I recall.

I'm one up on ya....they said I was morbidly a beast!

I wondered that myself back when it happened. The fire started on, or near. the Camp Creek Road. Why is it called the Camp Fire? How California's most destructive wildfire got its name

"It's for my safety and your safety".

Well, at least you'd be in the right place, at the right time! Just sit still, those gang banger can't hit s**t with full auto Glocks.

How? Ask or Crocodile Dundee style? Kind of bars I used to go to...there was never ANY doubt.

The first gun I bought for my ex was a S & W Model 49, snub nose w/shrouded hammer, 5 round capacity, revolver with holster. She learned how to shoot it fairly proficiently. Wish I'd have kept that gun for myself.

Bars are cliquish. Chances are that unless you walk in throwing money around, you will be looked at as an outsider and possibly perceived as a "threat" to the pecking order of the regulars. In the bars I used to frequent, I doubt seriously if you would like the result of "announcing your presence as the first time going to the bar." I'd be quiet, order my beer, be respectful, maybe play a video game or a game of pool...but otherwise, I'd just drink my beer, watch the tv and leave. Maintaining a low profile has been preemptive to getting my ass kicked at bars not normally visited by me. Also, I've never been to a bar where the patrons are sitting at a table playing poker. Playing pool at a pool table or playing foosball at a foosball table, even dancing on a table topless...but never sitting around playing poker. Keep in mind that I haven't been a "regular" at a bar ever since the 80's so maybe things have changed....but I doubt it.

I just saw heard this on the news. Although he played many tough guy roles, and some not so tough guys, I'll always remember him for his portrayal of Sheriff Buford Pusser in Walking Tall. For me, Walking Tall is one of those movies that I'll watch in it's entirety if I see it's playing on tv. Thanks for all of the excitement and entertainment over all of the years. RIP Mr. Baker

Many, many moons ago, in 1977 or 78, I went "cruising" with a friend of my younger brother named Teddy. I had only met Teddy once before but had never rode with him or knew his last name. He had a Chevy II Nova with a V-8 that he thought was fast. My brother and I, along with a friend of Teddy got in and started off. He was okay at first but within 4 or 5 miles, started driving like an idiot. I became so concerned and paranoid about his driving that I made him stop and let me out, which by now was about 10 miles away from home...at night...and raining. I yelled at Teddy and read him the riot act about his driving and his complete lack of ability thereof. He really hadn't done anything any stupider that some of my other friends but I couldn't shake that feeling of impending disaster if I stayed in his car. I stuck my thumb out and got a ride almost right off the bat to a couple of blocks away from my apartment. I didn't see Teddy again for many years. Fast forward about 35 years. I took my '86 Monte Carlo SS (a sheep in wolf's clothing with that 305 Chevy stuck in it) to a radiator shop to have the radiator replaced with a new, larger capacity radiator as my old radiator would allow the water temp to climb too high in the Florida summer traffic for me to be comfortable with it. I had already flushed it, replaced the thermostat and had the water pump checked, didn't help much so I decided to replace it. I went to pick up my car after work and walked up to the window to pay my bill, they said "It's been paid." I thought that had to be a mistake so I asked who paid the bill. The reply was "The owner of the radiator shop, Ted ******." I hadn't put two and two together at this point. I asked to speak with Ted to find out why he gave the job to me for free. Ted came out of an office door and walked up to me and said "Hello (my real name), do you remember me?" I said that I didn't. Then he told me who he was, the same Teddy who had scared the hell out of me all those years ago. He told me that the "talk" that I gave him shook him up so much that he never drove like that again and he wanted to show his appreciation for it by giving me my radiator for free. I thanked him for the radiator and told him that he turned out to be a good man. I never saw him again after that. I still think about the "Teddy" ride all those years ago and the free radiator 35 years later sometimes when I look at my temp gauge these days and I smile on the inside.

Particularly popular after a good rain. There used to be a club a little north of Brooksville FL., actually two clubs at different periods of time, that was part of a cow pasture. Every once in a while, you'd see the shroomers out picking mushrooms (while trespassing) in the pasture while driving down the dirt road to the range.

I couldn't agree more. People driving and texting/looking at their damn cell phones are distracted driver and cause a bunch of crashes, many with serious injuries. Driving and cell phone use is one of my pet peeves. Another is people that drive with their dog(s) on their lap, just as bad as driving while using a cell phone IMO. Not only is it distracted driving but the dog WILL die by being crushed between the driver and the air bag. I've seen the end result, wasn't pretty. Yes, I've seen people with multiple dogs on their lap while driving.

A Colorado Rocky Mountain High?

Was it "Tu postes des trucs bizarres"?

Do plastic T-Rex toys count?

When I got my license, I drove that boat many times. Big boat with a 454 motor and a 4 barrel Rochester Quadrajet (sic?). Great for burning the tires off of your parents car and doing lawn jobs on your best friends corner lot house....or at least that's what I heard anyway.

When I was a kid, I'd sit behind the driver because the driver has a much harder time reaching around to smack me. When we got a station wagon, it had a third seat facing toward the rear of the car, a '73 Olds Custom Cruiser, the most uncool car a teenager could ever be seen riding in, looked like a green hearse with fake wood siding. The thing seemed like it was 30' long, didn't worry about getting smacked. Edit - Picture of the car (I remember ours being more of a olive green though)

I have an older (bright) yellow J Hornaday Cooler Shirt. I wore it maybe three times and didn't like it. No pocket w/straight cuffs (no buttons). I'd take $25.00 shipped to your location in IN. If you'd like it, send me a PM.

When is the last time that you actually participated in a match?
