The Thread

[Nikademus]

I've played enough SP to know what happens when a bunch of crap British excuses for tanks armed with popguns go up against REAL tanks. Everyone knows a Pz-III could take care of any garden variety British crap cruiser.

Go drive into an 88's gun sight. PPPFFFTHH

I just been catching up the last 3 pages of THE THREAD since I read it as a guest at lunch. Mogami posted to THE THREAD. Welcome to the area of enlightenment (but not peace judging from the last several posts[:D]).

We don't do peace around here, it's the War Room...

[BrucePowers]

One of my coworkers is very interested in the world cup in Germany. I told him it would not hold a candle to the Olympic curling this winter. He just shook his head. I have never been able to get into soccer (or football as some call it).

edited for spelling.

Come on England![8D]
 
P.S. Nik right on with 88's T lost a Sherman Dozer to one near Cassino in our last phase.........

[BrucePowers]

Every time I think of Sherman tanks, I think of Oddball in Kelly's Heros. These tanks go faster in reverse. We want to be able to get ourselves out of anything we get into.

Hey - we went over 11000 posts and nobody noticed, or at least no one mentioned it... [X(] [8D]

Gentleman! You can't fight in here, this is the War Room![:D][:-]

Almost 5 hours and no one gets the Dr. Strangelove reffernce. Sad. [:(]

[BrucePowers]

I knew it came from a movie. I could not remember which one. I apologize (with my head hung low using a low voice[:D])

[Mynok]

Don't fret. Most allusions here get ignored, unless it is Python or MST3k.

For instance, if I were to mention that British cruisers were called "Handbaskets", few would catch the allusion to "going to hell in a handbasket". It's just the way it is.

Now, now, that one has been used on at least 2 occasions in the past on The Thread, so is considered a "rerun". Last person to use it was even accused of plaigarism! [:'(]

[DuckofTindalos]

Bump-tiddy-bump...

[BrucePowers]

No one here. I am talking to myself again. So...., bump

Morning Tithe!!!

Another Glorious Day At the Money Pit!!!!! [:'(]



Latest Money Pit Story:

i hate to drive my wife's car - something always happens to it when it do (or so it seems).

My wife wanted to borrow my car (for hauling something) so i drove her's to my workplace. Sure enough, on the way back, the CHECK ENGINE light comes on.

After finally finding someone who will work on it, and $X hundred dollars later, it turns out that either mice or squirrels made a nest under the air cleaner, obstructing the air flow and chewing through the vacuum line!! [X(] [8|] [:@]

So, now, in addition to the SnakeAway (a hellish concoction of mothballs and sulfur) spread around the house, wife is going out to buy coyote urine to spray on her car's engine... [X(] [:'(]

And speaking of snakes, there is apparently a rather large Water Mocassin living at the property line creek. I have only seen pics, but it is apparently as big around as my forearm, and over 6 feet long... for those of you unfamiliar with the Water Mocassin, it is considered "highly poisonous".

i'm hoping it will keep the squirrels/mice at bay, but then again, i don't really want it hanging around the house.

[BrucePowers]

Coyote urine. yeeeuuu....... Water moccasins not nice. Have yet to see one. They are around. Don't ever want to see one. Very aggressive snake.

OK - here's the one in the creek. Hard to get a scale, but the branches in the foreground are maybe around inch across - thickest diameter of snake around 4-5 inches. The head is barely visible in the upper left corner (just enough out of the water to breath).

i didn't actually get to see the snake, just the site later. The snake ID was by a person who has lived in the area many years.

[Mynok]

Yep, that's a biggie. They generally stay pretty close to the water, so as long as you don't mess around in its territory, you'll be ok. They will come after you if you invade it.

Last-post-before-yardwork tithe. [:(]

Actually, it's a beautiful day, but there is World Cup on that I want to see! Thank God for PVR's......[:D]

[BrucePowers]

My opinion is take out the snake. Just my opinion of course.[:D]
