WFTD's Memorial Day BBQ

Today, we are not having a WFTD. Instead, we are going to have a BBQ. Music, food, beer, and fun. :-) So, relax, enjoy yourselves, because tomorrow there will be a pop quiz.

I believe that photo was taken of xs and Miss Rika dueling over the last parking space available outside a Dick Cheney book signing event.

(Asks quietly ... and in shocked voice ..)

They let blondes drive now in TX?

[Gabz]

You two are cruisin' for a bruisin'.................

[RikaStrom]

ey let blondes drive now in TX?

Oooo You are a rat... rat I say.

C'mere and lie down, I want to see if my car thinks of you as a speedbump. LOL

[Gabz]

speedbump sounds like a good description to me.

[RikaStrom]

You betcha. Hmmm, I will have them know I've only wrecked three cars. ;-)

[Gabz]

That's 3 more than me - although I have done some damage to a few - I guess my aim was off!!!!!!!!!!!!

[RikaStrom]

LOL, I don't believe in doing things by half measure. :-D

[TheGrimReaper]

They let blondes drive now in TX?

Only for purposes of running over cheating husbands.
And, as always, carpooling is encouraged.
And seatbelts must be fastened.

[Robert A Cook PE]

(Heh, heh, heh.....)

I'm too skinny to be a speedbump.....

(Grins. Ducks behind nearest crash bumper.)

[Robert A Cook PE]

If you ruin over cheating husbands 12 in a row, is it a gross spectacle?

[TheGrimReaper]

They may be a dime a dozen, but one must run over 144 cheating husbands to achieve a gross spectacle.
However, splattering 3 on the bumper simultaneously is still considered "the hat trick".

[Robert A Cook PE]

Yo the Misstress Gabz!

You anywhere near the "Burtonsville" or "Tuckahoe" area or Maryland?

The Tuckahoe Steam and Gas Association is apparently working with the CAMS Tuckahoe Steam and Gas Association contacted CAMS Chesapeake Area Machinists Society) to run a small "operating" antique machine shop up there.

Since I'm working with the Glover (antique) Locomotive and Southern History Museum down here in Kennesaw - which is restoring several dozen old (100+ year old belt-driven machine tools = you know, the kind Xsex used to operate in her high school days before shewent to college as a civilized lawyer!) I'd like to know if the Burtonsville town is anywhere near you guys up there.

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmn.

Closest I came to that was a trifecta on the way to A&M one weekend - driving Ronnie's car of course ... Worse, the one SHE had "borrowed" from HER uncle who was overseas in Europe at the time!

The deer saw me coming, hesitated, then tried to cross the road.

Bad decision.

I tried to slow (honest!) but saw a guy behind me about 50 feet back doing (well, fast ... you know) and decided braking hard wasn't a good idea.

So I slowed a fraction, but caught the deer down low - maybe right about knee level - flipping his feet from under him as I bounced him into the other lane of traffic towards a row of cars coming our way on Hwy 21.

He rotated in mid-air once, pointing his hooves directly at oncoming traffic, but landed on the other guy's hood with his feet straight up, bounced back into our lane behind me, and got clobbered by the guy tailgating me right in the windshield.

We didn't even want to think about what his insides looked like ....

That was the first of my 8 road kill trophies.....

[TheGrimReaper]

Hwy 21 offers plenty of roadkill opportunities.
I once smacked an armadillo out there just east of Austin.
I think he rolled about 50 yds, got up slowly and walked off into the brush.

[Robert A Cook PE]

Do you think the average armoredildo is smarter before, or after, he is hit by a car at 65 mph?

[MeekOneGOP]

Whoa! Careful there Miss Rika. Remember Clara? She thought her hubby was a speedbump! Now she's doin' TWENTY years! 'TWAS the second and third pass that got her!

Stay tuned for the next episode of...'As the World Turns'…

Associated Press photos 2-10-2003 Defense lawyers for murder defendant Clara Harris, right, rested their case today after her mother-in-law, Mildred Harris, left, testified that the woman who drove over her son with a Mercedes-Benz is still "like a daughter." Prosecutors, however, immediately called an Houston police officer to the stand to rebut her lawyers' claims that David Harris was hit only once.

hehe ! From what I have experienced with Armadillos, it seems their eyesight is very poor. You can walk right up to them, or at least, when I was a kid that is what I recall. I never really figured out if it was their eyesight or whether they just didn't mind human folks hangin' around them.

[VRWCmember]

She said, "I'm gay. I spend my whole day thinking about women."
A little later a man sat down on the other side and asked, "Are you a real cowboy?"
The Cowboy replied, "I always thought I was, but I just found out I am gay..."

It's supposed to be ... "I'm a lesbian", to which the cowboy says "What's a lesbian?", and she responds, "All I want to do is make love to women in every way imaginable, and maybe even some ways that aren't even imaginable." Then, the cowboy replies to the next person who asks: "I always thought I was a cowboy, but I guess I'm really a lesbian."
