I will be sure and install one of these if I ever find myself driving in the Middle East. Anyone that stalls me and needs directions will be run over unless they use the code words “Excuse me”… عذرا

Can't you buy milk at McDonalds in the U.S?
Pat Riot replied to Buckshot Bear's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Holy Cow!!! I watched the commercials after the milk “shocker” and discovered a couple of things. Aussies calls McDonald’s “Maccas”, but McDonalds actually had a deal where you could get Caviar with your McNuggets in select locations though I couldn’t tell if it was in Australia or the US or both. It was only a promotion of 500 “kits” But here’s the “Homy Cow” part Ford makes a Dark Horse R that is a race ready Mustang that you can buy in Australia. One more “Holy Cow” the video from Oz below had 23 trackers when I opened it in DuckDuckGo https://www.news.com.au/technology/motoring/ford-mustang-cup-on-track/video/afd724bee4cb2c63bba75ca8c37c56e0 Here’s one you can buy in the US. I have never heard of these. https://www.fordpro.com/en-us/fleet-vehicles/mustang/dark-horse-premium/ Oh, if I ever win the lotto… -
Movie fences spark as do movie bullets hitting cars and buildings. In my limited experience with electric fences the ones I have touched or gotten near did not spark. The ones I touched did zap me good though.

Premium grade fuel in small engines
Pat Riot replied to Chas B. Wolfson, SASS #11104's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Sunoco has 87, 89 and 93 unleaded. They also have non-ethanol fuel at a Sunoco near me but I cannot recall the octane number. It’s for off road vehicles only. If they see you putting it in your car they will shut the pump off. -

Here in WV we have 87, 89 or 93. In CA & OR the highest octane was 91. This is a photo of the Exxon pump at the station just down the road from me. -

At first I thought you meant small engines as in cars and motorcycles, like 2000cc and under. I run 93 octane in my Miata and my Kawasaki Versys 650. They aren’t made to run on 87 octane. Minimum is 91. I remember a small engine repair guy telling me that higher octane gas is better for small engines, though I cannot remember his reasons. -
Robert Duvall passed away yesterday
Pat Riot replied to Nimble Fingers SASS# 25439's topic in SASS Wire Saloon
Rest In Peace, Mr. Duvall. Thank you for all of your movies and the parts that you played. -
Thanks very much. I appreciate it.

Mine are gone. I deleted them all last week when the first post was made in this regard. @Eliphalet R. Moderator Is this going to be a problem moving forward? I have a bunch of stuff that I want to sell in the Classifieds in the next couple of weeks.

Never tried their appliances. We’ve had good luck with their electronics, like TV’s, stereos and radios.

It’s called “Sailorese”. I had done this before on 3 very memorable occasions.

Are ducks and Jeeps like black tee shirts and Harley’s?

Ow and Agh! I can see why that was memorable. Did the rose thorns tear up your coat?

As a kid in my hometown there was a street the police would cordon off and kids of all ages were allowed to sled ride down it. The last 1/3 of the hill was like a beginners ski area. The middle 1/3 was of a moderate incline and the top 1/3 was steep and so much fun. There was a huge snow pile at the end on the street to stop everyone from going out onto the two lane highway at the end of the run. I was on my friend’s big Flexible Flyer and I waxed the runners. Me and all my friends went to the very top of the hill on the street and a police officer told us that we were too young for that part of the sledding area. He told us to go down the hill to the middle section of the street. A place we called “the baby area” We told him that we sledded from the top yesterday. He said “Well I am in charge and I make the rules.” With that I turned, dropped that bigassed sled on the slope and dove onto it. The day before I was on a small Flexible Flyer. The big sled didn’t maneuver well but on the stretches it flew! I was flying down that hill. I have no idea how fast I was going but my eyes were watering from the fast cold air. Kids and adults alike were cheering me on and I felt like the king of the hill. As I approached the big snow pile people were yelling at me to slow down. I ignored them thinking “How would I do that? I am not ruining my new boots dragging my toes” I hit the snow pile and went right up the incline and over the top. I was airborne. I landed and shot right across the highway and ran right into the front wheel of a parked car on the other side of the highway. My head put a dent in the hubcap. Luckily the pavement on the highway was snow free so I slowed considerably before hitting the wheel of the car. That was the funnest sled ride ever. The next year the snow pike was moved up the street about a hundred feet and the street between the snow pile and the highway was salted to slow any sledder that got over the pile. Oh, I had to pay for a new hubcap. My Dad was angry with me until I showed him where I started from on that hill. I do recall him saying to my Mom, “That kid is nuts!”

Nope! I am envious.
