Great Movies!

I immediately pictured a blown 7-litre... :)

when dad whipped me with the switch which I brought
in from the flowering peach tree in the back yard, he
put mercurochrome on the skin and it hurt!!! -- j

p.s. usually happened because I disrespected mom
in some way, like telling her that I didn't believe in God.

Mercurochrome if you were good, iodine if mom was mad at you. OOOwww, mom that stings!

feral kid was my favorite character. . first wife was a
mad max addict. -- j

mercurochrome! -- j

Master Blaster would have one with a hard top! -- j

Sadly this was one of the many creative April Fools items from the 1st. It's great to see all the creativity.

Yes

Go back 70+ years. little Herbie is playing with toy cars and trucks. What is he doing? Why he's smashing them into one another as he makes crashing sounds. Heavens! Call the white coats -- the kid will grow into a monster! Girls play with dolls. Boys play violent games. It's in the genes. Heck, way back then the most fun I ever had was when the boys from all over the neighborhood played Red Rover, and they weren't all pre-teens either. So there were scratches, bumps, bruises and now and then, a bloody nose. Moms expected it and had the bandages and iodine ready and waiting. We have raised a generation of woosies.

Sounds like the way my cat plans his day.

Seriously, I have noticed a little of this but nowhere near what I saw in CA and WA. I did recently encounter an extremely aggressive driver who passed me (I'm in the LEFT lane!) in the left-turn lane doing about 60. After pulling back into my lane he nearly rear-ended another car and avoided it by moving into the right lane. Then he was stuck at a light and I caught up to him. I promptly noted the model and color of his car, his license plate, and when I got to my destination I called him into the non-emergency police department dispatcher. I figured that direct confrontation would be a bad idea as I was not armed at the time.

I did live in Riverside CA for many years. I should elaborate on "worse drivers". In my personal experience, the California drivers indeed were quite aggressive. But they seemed to have purpose and planning. In LV, there is what I call the MTV approach to driving. Dont think and plan, just decide at the last second what you will do. That means dart from the right side of the road to the left hand turn lane right at the last second because you thought of something you needed there. Constant lane changes when it doesnt gain you hardly anything except a better chance at an accident. No one seemingly wants to commit to a plan for getting from A to B. Wait until the last second in case some other travel lane becomes available. Its like MTV in real life here- no one commits. There are no plans made in advance because 'something better might yet come up".

I live in Vegas as well. If you haven't seen worse drivers then youve never lived in the People's State of California; I did for 20 years, then moved to the PS of Washington, then to Nevada. At risk of sounding religious, count your blessings.

Looks like fun. Road rage is the rest of being fed up with stupid and entitled drivers. I have long fantisized having a powerful laser that I can aim quietly at someones trunk who is an idiot driver and bore a hole in it as a message. But I dont do it. There are SO many stupid drivers here in Las Vegas its unbelievable. I have never lived in a place where the drivers are so bad. The automated cars would really be good here !!!

During the homicidal Mad Max apocalypse following the looming socioeconomic collapse, all those cute little killer kids are gonna just have to chip in too.
Remember the finger-chopping boomerang tossing feral kid of The Road Warrior flick?
Well, there ya go!
Go get 'em, kids!
Kill or be killed! Eat or . . .oh,yuck.

Ooooooooh... yes, of course. Sometimes if I read your comments like, say, 10 or 12 times I can figure them out, but sometimes I just don't want to read it that many times, or think that hard, mental puzzle pieces.. sometimes I have to make an awesome dinner while being in the gulch, so..this time the soup won. I want one of those cars...but imagine the insurance cost alone... sigh :( And I don't think they'd pass emissions either...but a girl can dream.

nonmooch understands. keep up! if you leave the gulch for weeks and then pop back in there is dissonance!

sigh. context. I have been called on this. Title from Spain takes a long while and is a dirty road. (figuratively). I think YOU need one of these. But I know you refer to your grandson.

I was thinking, what the appropriate dress might be.
Have I become that predictable?

I can't even play like I know what this means.

Was I gone that long? Captain, please bring me my wine. Nice n' sloooow.

ok, I claim the dilemma of making a point and then wondering the original content. seriously-get title to your house from Spain. that's how these threads work

Oh no you didn't! I know someone who needs one of these. :)

Batteries??? Pfffffft! I'd drop a small block 350 with a cam into it.
