They recognize him everywhere, even in Texas! His fame precedes him!

It's like the warning to not drink fluids from your car's battery! I hope everyone complies with the request - it seems fairly reasonable.

I like, "Half of one, and six dozen of the other."

Frontwards. That was the funny part. They used their hand to aim, and did fine.

At the Summit in Houston (now Joel Osteen's House of God and Money), girls would use the Men's Room at big concerts. It was funny, when the stalls were full, some would use a urinal! Didn't know chicks could do that! They also got on their boyfriend's shoulders to flash their charms on the big-screen tv's! And you could smoke indoors, too! High times were had by all!

Burger looks pretty tasty - plenty greasy, with grilled onions and American cheese. Or do y'all call it something different? One more thing: 1. Please cook the bacon crispy, if that's for me. That's just kind of warmed. 2. What do you put on the bread - mayo, Miracle Whip, other dressing? 3. Where's the beetroot? I haven't tried that yet, but I will, the next time I'm in Australia! 4. And what do you wash it down with? Cheers!

Dang! Tom was a badass! Here are more details: Felipe Espinosa - Wikipedia

How desolate is Betoota? Mark Harvey - Google Maps (Right click on the link, click on Open Link, and it will open.) But at least they got rain recently! Another fascinating introduction to Straya by Buckshot Bear! Thanks!

Sunday's High will be 98 F. Friday was 109 F. That's even hotter than Texas! Stay cool, Mates!

In Indiana in the '60's, the school bus was used to break through snow drifts on our road. It cleared the road enough for traffic to pass, and to take us to school.

No, I hadn't seen it before. But with his name, Raymond Lee Hubert, I found more info: Photos of PFC Raymond Lee Hubert - Find a Grave Memorial The photo of PFC Hubert was circulated nationally during late July - early August 1944, appearing in the Washington Post, Bakersfield Californian and many other newspapers. This photo later was the basis for a mural at Camp Pendleton. Hubert was 19 years old at the time of the photo and the shell was reportedly still live at the time. Using an unexploded 16 inch (406 millimeter) HC Mark 13 1,900 pound (862 kg) battleship naval shell for a resting place, Private First Class Raymond L. Hubert, of Detroit, Michigan, attached to the 2nd Marine Division, 8th Marine Regiment, shakes sand from his boondockers. 8th Regiment Marines succeeded in reaching the sea in the vicinity of Tanapag Harbor at 1300 Hours on July 4. The regiment went into reserve the next day. A Browning Automatic Rifleman ("BAR Man"), Hubert was washing his feet in the surf when Staff Sergeant Andrew B. Knight (November 8, 1916 - March 25, 1959) of Washington, District of Columbia, asked Marines to pose for photos. Knight was a former Washington Post photographer. Hubert was putting his shoes on when the photo was taken; Knight asked him to "do something" so he sat on the dud shell. Hubert sat on the shell knowing full well it was armed and could explode any time. A buddy handed Hubert his M1 Garand rifle for the photo. Hubert was a tool and die maker for the auto industry after the war.

Amid tattered palm trees, a Marine (I recognize the helmet's camo pattern) on a Pacific island dumps sand out of his boot. His pants are torn and frayed. Rather fashionable, nowadays. And that is probably a naval projectile from a US ship, used to tenderize the occupying army. My Navy Dad brought back a Marine poncho and knife, so I could play Army. It's all torn up, but I CAN'T throw it away... God Bless all of our Soldiers, Sailors, and Flyers - Past, current, and future.

Where is his lower body? Artificial Intelligence ain't so intelligent, now, is it?

Remember Rube Goldberg? He invented a better Mousetrap! Unfortunately, his Medical Career was not as successful...

In Texas, it's the decision to be made by our new visitors. Thank goodness for the benevolence of the Northern Sanctuary Cities. And Greyhound!

Hu's on first.

So does that mean my friend has 20 households? Just asking...

That's how I learned it, too. I read a lot of racing fiction by William Campbell Gault in junior high, and I think that's where I got it. But, I've used it in hilly towns with a manual tranny. Especially at stoplights. Heel on the brake, toe on the gas, and left foot on the clutch. Release the clutch, ease off on the brake, and give it gas, all at the same time, without rolling backwards into the guy behind you. Today's kids might not cope too well. Automatics spoil a person... (Farm kids not included in the group above.)

The Downshift picture is when you're going into a turn, or similar situation, you want to slow down and downshift, so you break, clutch, and downshift, while giving it gas, so you can keep your rpms up, and accelerate out of the turn. The next one means someone in front of you messed up.

What ARE some things... Improper grammar bothers me. But I still participate in this Forum...

Pass the Eye Bleach!

We used to live right next to a rice field that attracted migrating geese in the fall, in Katy, Texas, West of Houston. Thousands of them. We could hear their wings flapping when they flew over the house. There were no goslings at that time of year, so we were safe. Katy was known for excellent goose hunting, and farmers made lots of money leasing their fields to hunters. Now, the whole damned area is subdivisions and Walmarts. Progress, right?

That's what SHE said!

I like where his green cranial contents are oozing from the top of his head. Did I assume too much calling it a He?

You couldn't take a step to the left?
