    Unfrickin' Believable ...

    I don't have a problem with what he wrote, either, because the responses are largely fake outrage (or at the very least, hypocritical). Assassinating the leader of a country in order to install the leader of your choice has been the bread and butter of US foreign policy for decades. <saaa-nort>

    Actually it was a problem. Not only was the cheerleading and the numbers getting annoying to everybody, they were presenting a badly skewed picture of Load 1. If you post your numbers for a great week, but fail to post your numbers for a sucky week, people get the wrong impression. They get the...

    Making people laugh and/or scratch their head is a hobby of mine, yes. ;)

    Yesterday I went over to Hobart, IN to the Knot Store. They have the largest variety of knots I've ever seen. All hand made in the USA, of course. I needed some new hitches, sheepshanks, and bowlines. Of course, that place is worse than Walmart, and I never leave there without getting more than...

    Napoleon was captured, imprisoned and exiled to the island of Saint Helena, where he died 7 years later of either a severe peptic ulcer, or arsenic poisoning, or both. :D

    Differential fluid change

    Usually, when people say "no problem", what that really means, whether they realize it or not, is, "hasn't yet blown up or otherwise died." :D There may be all manner of problems that just haven't manifested themselves to those unaware of them. Of course it's necessary to change the...

    Sorry, can't take it any more

    Small grammatical errors and spelling mistakes are one thing, and they're no big deal for the most part. The complaints about the small things are mostly friendly jabs, but are also reminders to those who are guilty of them to think more about them and improve on their communication skills. The...

    Hands on loads

    I drove for Panther for 5 years. Load 1 is about as different from Panther as an expedite carrier can get.

    Sorry, can't take it any more

    Does it really work, though? Would you speak to someone who you wanted to hear and understand you in unintelligible mumblings? You might not speak the language perfectly, but you still want to be understood, to convey to the listener your thoughts. The same holds true for the written word. If no...

    Canada to US.. 'fine, we'll sell our oil to China!"

    Unfortunately, the facts don't support your conclusions.

    How to think about p!$$!ng on the Taliban

    I'm not sure what the "most hardened criminals" angle means. But in any case, as for reactions and actions of war, it really should be clarified as to what kind of war, and what kind of enemy, we're talking about. There are unjust wars and just wars, and they should not be confused. Nor should...

    Bionic Extended Battery

    Ballistic has finally come out with a Bionic case, the Motorola Droid Bionic Ballistic Shell Gel (SG) Series Case. Unfortunately, it does not work with the extended battery. My request for one for the extended battery was forwarded to the "Engineering and Design Team", but if they haven't...

    How to think about p!$$!ng on the Taliban

    I've read the entire thread, cover to cover, and I haven't seen anything even remotely anti American, much less anything that would approach "limp wristed, liberal, self superior, unpatriotic, venom." What are you talking about? Surely you aren't suggesting that the US military can do not wrong...
