I thought that was appropriate, we all know he didn't mean anything derogatory by it. God knows I'm just looking for an excuse to ban him!

Your Thump Thump only covers the truck axles what about the trailer axles?
I could have figured you'd come up with something like that!

Got a note from Lary

He's got to clean up his computer area
Got into a fight with the MIL over that one. Was visiting them one time and while watching the news there was a story of a couple that swerved to miss a dog on the highway, lost control of their car crashed it and killed both of them. I looked at my loving wife and asked here what to do if a dog ran out in front of her. She looked directly at me as said "hit it". My MIL was furious. She went on a rant about how that was cruel and the dog could have been someone's pet. I looked at her and said that the couple that was killed was someone parents and if they had hit the dog they would more than likely still be alive. I wasn't able to change her mind, but I rest easier knowing my wife knows what to do in that situation.

No, I don't understand. Can you go over that one more time please?

Just bought a '78 Chevy pick up. What a difference over the old '66 that it replaced! I don't understand why some of you buy these newer Dodge trucks when an old Chevy will do the same thing for a quarter of the cost!
