Maybe those things are earbuds, or whatever they call them, not pipes. Different times... Or, am I totally missing something?

Line 1: OK, three pairs of pipes = 30, 1 pair = 10, 1 pipe = 5. Line 2: 1 pair of pipes = 10. 20 – 10 = 2 people, so 1 person = 5. Line 3: 13 – 1 person = 8, so 2 pair of phones = 8, and 1 pair = 4, and 1 phone = 2. Line 4: Therefore, if 1 pipe = 5, 1 person = 5, and 1 phone = 2, then, 5 + 5 + 2 = 12. This was fun! Thank you, sir, may I have another?

I googled this, and it's REAL! I would try it, but I'm not sure about how chocolately gas might smell! Probably better than hard-boiled eggs and beer....

American Pizza! Japanese oven.

Wore? You mean I should have stopped? That's about all I have in my closet. Well, I do have my Wranglers, but those are for dress-up occasions. And they're long enough to wear with boots. I wear my Levi's with my moccasins. But don't go drinking in 501's. Those buttons are a bi+ch if you're trying to pee quickly!

The Golden Fleecing of Us All! I remember these pumps that had to be reset to zero before pumping your gas. Are those glass bubbles on the side to show the flow of the gas? While driving and refueling in Germany, I was misled with the pricing. Here in Texas, it's priced by the Gallon, not by the Quart (y'all call it a Liter)! The prices posted were the same, but not the same volume! But the Autobahn made up for the cost! It was GLORIOUS!

Every single one of these photos could be here in the US version of Texas! But do any of y'all have one of these? You know, I wouldn't be surprised if some rich Aussie had one! But bigger, of course!

A great Aussie-ism! Y'all sure can turn a phrase!

So, if the Scarecrow is wrong about this, what else is he wrong about? And what about the Lion and the Tin Man? And Dorothy herself? Did she have ulterior motives for dropping her house on a citizen of the foreign land that she was visiting? Was it really about Ruby Slippers, or something much deeper? The flowers, maybe? Were they poppies? And what if the Flying Monkeys weren't the bad guys after all? Or were they just pawns in the game? It's hard to know who you can trust nowadays...

We had a Rifle Club at Morris Hills HS in NJ back in '71. We shot Army surplus .22's in the school basement 50-foot range, where they kept the rifles in a locker. We shot against HS teams with actual target rifles and nice shooting jackets. I had a tan Army shirt with my NRA Marksmanship patches on it. We never won, but I would place near the top. New Jersey seems to have changed in 50 years.

But kept the Land and the Lakes. They kept their land, and they won't give it back, And they sent Geronimo a Cadillac. Oh, boys, take me back, I want to ride in Geronimo's Cadillac...

Yes, they do, but I still think he's a snappy dresser! Although I dress more like Mr. Greenjeans! Copying is the most sincere form of flattery:

Excellent photos for the comparison! Thanks! I don't want to meet either of them out in the wild, regardless of where I am. I've seen gators from a distance, and that is fine with me. And I doubt if I'll ever make it down under to see a real croc. Or a magpie. Or any of the other killer animals y'all have down there. Spiders and snakes and drop bears, oh, my!

Muchos garcias, amigo.

Sounds like here in Texas! They've been trying to keep out North-bounders from South of the Rio Grande for years, but most attempts have been unsuccessful! Or met with opposition. Are y'all allowed to shoot rabbits and dingoes? Just wondering...

Sounds like here in America! Texas scoundrels mastered that technique many years ago. Texas needed roads. Brown and Root built roads. Everybody in Houston worked for B&R at some point, on one project or another. Times were great!

Did it work?

You mean to say that there's a word for it?

In vino veritas. But it's a little early for me for either one...

It sounds fun, but, as insane as people are, they might retaliate. Key your car, bash your mailbox, torch your house, who knows how far some animals will go? Sorry. I'm not feeling funny tonight....

This must be a new IRS Agent! It's really only 3.27 years, after taxes and interest.

It looks like the lady on the right has a camera. Cool!

Her husband...

This is ingenious! It allows you to apply torque in line with the lug nuts! You can step on the handle, and it applies a lot more torque than a regular wrench! I would want to fashion a base plate, so it doesn't sink into the Houston sand and mud. Mud? We haven't seen mud in a month and a half!
