Let’s talk Christmas.......
For me, I have a 69 VW convertible that I started fixing up LAST winter. I got parts for it. If I could just find the time to work on it.
For the wife.....the freezer just died, new freezer, and food to replace what spoiled.
For the daughter, well my 8 year old daughter wants a cell phone and a laptop and Joe Jonas. She’s getting a wired phone in her room, permission to continue to use the computer in the living room, and a picture of Larry the Cable Guy.
Lady of the evening, Lady of the evening, Lady of the evening. Because of PC, Holiday Figure (formally known as Santa) can’t say Ho, Ho, Ho no more.
Merry bloody Christmas.
(sarcasm off)
I have a homemade bike me and my brother built many years ago. Runs and drives but the back tire kind of rides sideways. The seat blew out a few years ago and I made do with a sofa cushion, duct tape and a couple of 2x 4’s ( the ultimate fix! ). It runs like a champ but does smoke alot especially if you are hard on the gas. Uses about a quart of oil for each gas fillup. I usually just put the oil directly in the gas as it is going to burn it anyway and that way it is easy. Can’t drive over 12 miles or so at a time as the motor gets red hot and starts loosing power so probably a good bike for someone who drives locally. Does backfire and squeel pretty loud occasionally so I usually wear earplugs of some kind. DOES NOT pass emmissions so would need to be registered in a county without emmisions check. Great first bike otherwise!

Hey, I know exactly where that is and have even eaten at the Kentucky Fried Children place, except they call it Kentucky Fried Chicken now, must have gotten some complaints about the name, huh? :) Merry Christmas to all of you FReepers(and that includes the moderators:))
| You Are Cleaning the Toilet |
 You are tough, determined, and strong willed. You are willing to take on any task, no matter how unsavory. You have nerves and a stomach of steel. It's hard to gross you out, and it's hard to get under your skin. You have what it takes to go far in life. When other people give up, you're still gaining momentum. You are willing to put in the hard work to achieve the best results. You aren't afraid of getting right in the mix. |
Michelle could you come over here? Something happened to the fireplace!
F16 vs. C-130
A C-130 was lumbering along when a cocky F-16 flashed by.
The jet jockey decided to show off.
The fighter jock told the C-130 pilot, ‘watch this!’ and promptly went into a barrel roll followed by a steep climb. He then finished with a sonic boom as he broke the sound barrier.
The F-16 pilot asked the C-130 pilot what he thought of that?
The C-130 pilot said, ‘That was impressive, but watch this!’
The C-130 droned along for about 5 minutes and then the C-130 pilot came back on and said: ‘What did you think of that?’
Puzzled, the F-16 pilot asked, ‘What the heck did you do?’
The C-130 pilot chuckled. ‘I stood up, stretched my legs, walked to the back, took a leak, then got a cup of coffee and a cinnamon roll.’
When you are young & foolish - speed & flash may seem a good thing !!!
When you get older & smarter - comfort & dull is not such a bad thing !!!
Us older folks understand this one.
ERIC THE COMPUTER WHIZ!
I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Eric, the 11 year old next door, whose bedroom looks like Mission Control and asked him to come over. Eric clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem.
As he was walking away, I called after him, ‘So, what was wrong? He replied, ‘It was an ID ten T error.’
I didn’t want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, ‘An, ID ten T error? What’s that? In case I need to fix it again.’
Eric grinned.... ‘Haven’t you ever heard of an ID ten T error before?
‘No,’ I replied. ‘Write it down,’ he said, ‘and I think you’ll figure it out.’
So I wrote down: I D 1 0 T
I used to like Eric, the little b*s*a*d.
George Bush, Queen Elizabeth, and Vladimir Putin all die and go to hell. While there, they spy a red phone and ask what the phone is for. The devil tells them it is for calling back to Earth.
Putin asks to call Russia and talks for 5 minutes. When he was finished the devil informs him that the cost is... a million dollars, so Putin writes him a check.
Next Queen Elizabeth calls England and talks for 30 minutes. When she was finished the devil informs her that cost is 6 million dollars, so Queen Elizabeth writes him a check.
Finally George Bush gets his turn and talks for 4 hours. When he was finished the devil informed him that there would be no charge for the call and feel free to call the USA anytime.
When Putin hears this he goes ballistic and asks the devil why Bush got to call the USA free. The devil replied, “Since Obama became president of the USA , the country has gone to hell, so naturally it’s a local call.”
