A Modest Proposal: The Thread Hijack Drinking Game [vanity]

That’s what the late Igor said about me, but added, “...everything that goes in gets mangled.”

I resembled that remark!

[Monkey Face]

W00t!

Yes, YOU!

"The radio in my truck doesn't work, or I would be listening to music all the time when I drive."

At a first approximation, the simplest thing to check is that all your fuses are good. Most automotive fuseboxes are labeled as to function, so try to identify the instrument panel fuse, or maybe even radio.

Make sure you, or someone with good close vision, checks ALL the fuses that are supposed to be operating. (There may be space in the panel for spares. It's good if they are usable, but not until they get plugged into something.)

This diagram says that the "cigar radio" is a twenty amp fuse.

[ThomasThomas]

Just because you can crochet

Dosen't mean you should!

[RegulatorCountry]

Brown and yellow are very practical colors for crocheted shorts, you must admit.

[NicknamedBob]

Yep; I definitely think you should check your fuses.

The next batch of History we’ll be doomed to repeat will be so old that it will seem like something Biblical.

The fuses were the first thing I checked when the radio went out. My own idea on that is that the vehicle came from a very wet climate to a very dry one, and the coating on the wires may have dried out to the point that they cracked.

I don’t know if that’s even feasible, but the first hot days we got after the truck was delivered, the alarm would sound for no reason, then stop. It works like it’s supposed to now, though. Still no response from the radio.

Like I said, no one is willing to trouble-shoot it for me unless I pay them. You and I both know THAT isn’t going to happen!

[ArGee]

We have a car with a dead radio and good fuses. I won’t pay someone else to trouble-shoot a radio either.

Fortunately, that’s not the one I drive.

[Monkey Face]

I miss the radio in the truck, and that’s the truth. I’d like to have it replaced, but I can’t gather up the $100 I need for it at the place that will do it.

I just saw an article titled “Liberal Logic.” I dropped my sandwich.

My brain just couldn’t handle the oxy in the moron.

[Monkey Face]

I don’t think there IS such a thing as Liberal logic. It doesn’t exist.

[ThomasThomas]

Now we know.

[Monkey Face]

Catz have no bones?

[NoCmpromiz]

I just saw an article titled "Liberal Logic." ... couldn't handle the oxy in the moron.

Oh..

Did it give an example?

You know, like this:

[Tax-chick]

Afternoon, all. I sure wish it was bedtime!

Picked up Tom from school and took him over to our friend Mrs. Atkinson’s, where he fixed her toilets. I got a part from the hardware store and looked briefly at paint options for the girls’ room.

Now I need to find Tom and get him to fix our toilet!

Plumbing is actually one of the few places where I’m a little handy. I learned two key plumbing lessons when I was young from a plumber who came to our house and they’ve helped me ever since.

1) Water runs downhill.
2) Payday is Friday.

[NicknamedBob]

Your plumbing education is incomplete. In addition to the rules you recall, there are three others:

1) Hot on the left.
2) Cold on the right.
3) Water Stuff runs downhill.
4) Payday is Friday.
5) Keep your fingers out of your mouth.
