Make sure you use NO MORE than one bottle per 25 gallons of diesel.

You want to CLEAN the injectors, not blow them up.

pretty sure I have read that there were irish monks living in very small numbers on the island prior to north germanic immigration.

I had this theory about the older of a member you are on FR the bigger of a asshole you become..

I replied that would explain the large population of ugly women in Ireland..

et tu...

My mama told me I could become anything I wanted.

So I became an asshole.

I was MADE for this place...

“If a-holes could fly, this place would be an airport.”

(that’s the sign that should be over the door of any internet forum, ‘blog, etc)

Well it does if they had a problem with Hjörleifur in particular, and not with Ingólfur and Hallgerdur.

outstanding post, thanks.
found the blurb about the sailcloth particularly intersting: high level skill weaving it from wool, good enough for gift to king.

can you imagine weaving huge sail, big enough to power a 60 foot boat, from wool?

I was stationed there as a Navy wife in the nam era. As I recall, no one off base drank whiskey. They all drank aquavit - a licorice tasting white diesel. You would drink it in one small glass next to another larger glass and a pitcher of water to put the fire out. Quite a hangover!

To teach the Icelanders how to drink! I had a mad affair with an Icelandic woman, a smoker, she could drink an Ozzite under the table, believe that if you will.

Thank you for advancing my theory asshole....

Come on, that was good comedy. I worked on that joke for awhile. You should check my journal from last year.

I see you have been making strides toward your three year badge. To get that badge you have to make someone angry on a religion and an economics thread. I guess they are handing points to those that do well on the new Japan threads.

I already done the religion thing when I firsted getted here.

But eyes think they wuz too stupid to get really mad. An’ I tried really, really hard.

And that econ guy was so bizzy screaming about how much he gnu without saying anything about what he gnu, ya couldn’t get an word in edgewise.

I would prolly just bomb out on a Japan thread. I think folks is shook up enuf over that anyhows...

We must get together and compare livers some time. In Iceland and properly chaperoned, of course. Wear a HAZMAT suit.
