We'll share that with you a little further down. As usual, we provide links on the left and right hand side. The regular sports links are on the right. Click on the images and hyperlinks. A special thank you to MoJo's 8 year old son, Bobby. If you like the cars and motorcycles on this thread, you can thank him. He thought his mommy didn't have a clue and decided to help her out.

Here's some music for the young troops out there that don't like any of the music we've played so far. Enjoy! It will be gone by tomorrow. So? Listen while you can! Thank you!!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good afternoon, Race. How's the shoulder coming along? PT going well?

[wjcsux]

Mine still needs lots of TLC. This one was on its way to the wrecking yard when I got it 8 years ago. It runs real good but is scary to drive because of the worn suspension.

Tower: "Eastern 702, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on 24.7"

Eastern 702: "Tower, Eastern 702 switching to Departure... by the way, as we lifted off we saw some kind of dead animal on the far end of the runway."

Tower: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff, contact Departure on 124.7... did you copy the report from Eastern?"

Continental 635: "Continental 635, cleared for takeoff... and yes, we copied Eastern and we've already notified our caterers."

[Soaring Feather]

Here we go Canteen Crew!!
Kathy is taken us on a tour of Alaska and her fabulous glaciers!

We are needing a tour bus now, how about this one?

Anyone wanting to ride in the limo with ms feather, may do so.

Who owns this car? Argh is this yours?

[Kathy in Alaska]

Unfortunately, "sustained period of rains", as promised earlier in the week, have been changed to "a shower or two". WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

[Soaring Feather]

Kathy did you say you prefered a White Limo?
Well, I'll have my other driver swing around for you!LOL

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh my goodness BOBBY, check this out! Here's a car for you.

[Argh]

Nah, Miss Feather, I'm too broke to own a car and I'm too young to own that car. However, I'd still like to see Miss Kathy's fabulous glaciers someday.

[Soaring Feather]

Here ya go guys, who wants this beauty?
My garage is full of antiques!! LOL

[Soaring Feather]

Argh, you're young????

[Argh]

That looks like one of them talking cars.

Oh, sorry, I got confused, I was thinking of Mr. Ed, the talking horse.

As opposed to Hillary, who's the talking south end of a horse headed north.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Oh boy, tunes and a snack to get me to lunch. Thanks, Fiddlstix.

[Argh]

I'm too young for that old jalopy. 52 isn't what I call young, but as you know from my posts, I've stayed young at heart.

[Soaring Feather]

As opposed to Hillary, who's the talking south end of a horse headed north.

WHOO HOOO, got that right!!

[tomkow6]

There once WAS a talking car. There was a short lived TV series called "My Mother, the Car". Ann Southern was the voice of the car, & I think the co-star was Jerry VanDyke.

[Argh]

You're right. It wasn't short-lived enough. I saw about 4 minutes of it at the time it first aired. It had the reputation for being the worst TV show ever, and the reputation was probably deserved. The four minutes were boring, with completely lame jokes, and if I remember correctly, a laugh track was inserted after a line that wasn't SUPPOSED to be funny! Yikes.

[tomkow6]

Amazing what you can learn here, in the Canteen!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Good afternoon, Pippin. 15 minutes til afternoon for me.

[Argh]

Amazing what you can learn all over FR. And some of what you learn is actually true! :^)

[tomkow6]

 200!!!
