Are you feeling alright?
I never did skanks.
Are you calling all but the first of those girls I just posted, ‘skanks’? If so, please post a few pics of some girls you find attractive.
When I was 15 I designed and built a jet wing aircraft with a span of about four feet. I went to the drug store to get the rocket fuel of Potassium salts and some sulfur. However when I asked to buy some high concentration rubbing alcohol the pharmacy person asked why I wanted these and other chemicals. I told him what I was intending to do and even had made a the launch pad. I was told to go to another store and see if they would complete my shopping list. This turned me from that project to another one which used powder from fire crackers. Other matters stopped me from going further.
Jumping Judas! You made much bigger footprints than I! That is really impressive, to say the least. Thank you for your incredible service.
Once I finished ROTC and received a commission, I got flushed out because we were in "draw down" mode in Vietnam. I always regretted not having a complete stint in the Army.
Now that I am retired, I hope to make some more experimental rockets. Composite propellants are enticing.
Fourteen was a good year for illicitly obtained combustible chemicals. We almost burned down my friend's garage, but we had fun.
Also made my own gunpowder and some Hydrogen (lye in water and add some aluminum foil) - generates a lot of heat but I had some "fun" with it.
Then there was the fulminate of Mercury - paint it on steps and once dry it crackles off at a relatively light touch.
I remember those....never got the kit though.
But I liked the joke:
“Get up at 8 o’clock? Get a potato clock!”
I am sure it would make for some interesting conversation!

What were you calling them when you posted that tongue-in-cheek post?
Obviously they are professional models posing as skanks. (or do normal women dress like that standing in the street by their favorite ride?)
.
So if you meant ‘skank’, as in ‘trashy’, I might agree with you, in some of these cases more than others. I wouldn’t want a serious relationship with a woman that has such a low sense of self-respect that she would flaunt herself that way in public for money. In private (with me), that’s a whole different story! :)

As I thought, we are on the same page.

I forgot about that!
