Stroke and bore time, yesno? Kidding, that is some pretty nasty scarring there.

In Arabic culture, striking somebody with a shoe means something along the lines of, "You are beneath me" or "I wipe the shit from my feet upon you." It's an EXTREMELY insulting gesture, almost as bad as a slap to the face with the left hand.

There is some vertical flow around a tornado cone, but mostly it is swirling winds. The problem is that a tornado cone is usually a tight funnel of swirling wind, so that you can have 120mph winds going one way at the nose, while the tail is being blown at 100mph the other way. Flying an aircraft of any kind through a tornado would result in a very broken plane. Maybe it COULD be done with a low F1, they only have 70mph winds, but I wouldn't loan them my multi-million dollar drone for it, and I damn sure wouldn't fly the plane myself. Rockets have been done, but the problem is that a rocket big enough to carry much in the way of atmospheric sampling equipment is large, powerful, and not easy to transport. Throw in all the lightning and regular high winds that happens around a tornado, and I'd rather not be driving a truck with a tube of explosive mounted on the back anywhere in the area.

I had a car towed about a year ago, and had to get it from the impound lot. They had dropped it WAY in the back, so naturally I got to look at just about everything as I walked back to it. Most of the cars I saw were typical late 80s to early 2000s drivers. There were some newer cars, mostly low end stuff like Kias and Focuses. There were a FEW high-end cars, but they looked to be theft recoveries and all of them had body damage or were on the ground. One thing to be aware of is that the cars are not touched after they are hooked. So batteries are dead, the oil is old, there could be any number of things broken on the car.

Mallard, I *USED* to work over at that distribution center (Genco, on Crosswinds Dr. off of Georgesville, right next to the Dispatch printing center). That place was BEYOND fucked up for inventory control, and given the state of the company running it, I wouldn't expect it to be any better now. Now.....chances are, there are plenty of that item physically in the building....but they aren't in the inventory system because nobody "recieves" items unloaded during another shift, so they get pushed to the side. When that shift rolls around again, they have no idea what this stuff is since it isn't where they left it, so the buck gets passed onward yet again. Usually, once this gets started it takes at least three days for the stuff to end up in the system. OR...somebody dropped a bunch of them and simply put a "hold" on the stow location rather than actually sort out the damaged pieces, thus leaving it for the next shift to deal with, whenever they feel like it, if ever...so the stuff is THERE, but it can't be picked until somebody actually goes down to look at it and sort out the smashed stuff from the good stuff, again not something that will happen quickly. OR...they were there, and got shipped, but electronically "disappeared" between the warehouse dock and the store dock. Somebody at the store orders it, then cancels the order on the Sears end after has been sent to the warehouse already. It gets picked and shipped, since anything canceled after 2pm is the next days paperwork. BUT since the contract between Sears and Genco makes it Gencos fault for any mis-ships and Sears doesn't track their cancellations.... all Sears has to do is say, "Hey, you lost it, eat the cost." and some store dock worker has a piece with no paperwork, which then goes out the dock door into somebodies trunk. Usually it happened with microwaves and smaller stuff, but I absolutely KNOW that a $4500 riding mower disappeared like that.

My old union steward had a few pieces, all pre-94. He had a PPsh-41, an AVT-38, an M-14, and a M2. I got to shoot the PPsh, and that was a TON of fun.

Yeah, uh-huh. Try OC sometime. Enjoy the massive hassle you WILL have to endure the first time some bliss-ninny actually realizes that you have a gun on your hip and calls 911. You WILL spend at least 45 minutes stuck in the back of a cruiser with your hands behind you. And thats the BEST you can hope for, now if that self-same bliss-ninny tries to make themselves a "hero" by lying that you were waving it around....

There is a calculation to convert lbs of static thrust into horsepower. The long and short of it is that if you know how much it weighs and how fast it accelerates, you can calculate HP. In this case.....it's probably the total of all the HP NOT being used by every person who merged onto the highway in front of me.

Chuck, I think I've seen your van before. Dragway 42 2 years ago maybe, there was a big turbo dodge gathering there in June or July 06 if I remember right. I assume you are already on the forums over at http://www.turbododge.com? There are a few of us TDers about, the LSX and Horsey set may not admit it, but Columbus is a Mopar town.

If it was somebody else's car, I'd say go nuts and rod it. But given that it has family history, restoring it back to factory is way to go. HOPEFULLY, it's been sitting in a barn or under a carport, and nobody ever tossed anything from it. Body parts probably can be found or fabbed, engine parts are probably not that hard to get ahold of, but the interior is going to be the tough part. Fabrics from that period aren't too easy to find, some patterns are simply unobtainable.

Don't forget to check Avengers and Sebrings, they use the same seats. Fabric patterns might be different, though, now that I think about it.

I dated a girl back just after high school who was a midget, but not very much so. She was about 4'6" or so, maybe 90lbs soaking wet, and proportional. Her height WAS an issue the first couple of weeks..... I accidentally walked into her a couple times, but got used to her not being line-of-sight all the time. The sex was a bit weird, she was built like a 14-year-old....but REALLY eager to demonstrate that she wasn't.

Amen, brother.

1) Think it was $165 for the 3day course at New Albany. They have 3day, 4hours each day, or 2day 6hours each, or single 12hour day. I had to do 3day cause of work. 2) only done New Albany, so I can't say for anyplace else. But my class was easy and went well. 3) Pretty much everything, they tend to emphasize the legal stuff more than actual carrying and shooting. 4) Anywhere legal to do so. 5) Springfield XD .45 Tactical in a Comp-Tac M-TAC IWB holster. I'm a big fat guy, so I can hide a double stack long-barrel .45 easily enough.

That's with a manual? Guy must be GOOD with a shift, I never saw the nose even dip, much less drop.

Unfortunately, she only speaks from out of her asshole. The mouth end is for other things, and yes, that WAS Rush Limbaugh you heard crying when he was told.

How very.....odd.

Ironically, he just wanted to steal some Sudafed....

XD .45 Tactical or Service. I like Glocks, they are dead reliable and very accurate, but frankly their grips are all suck.

Sorry for the OT, but....what is it with the psychiatric profession and matchstick ships? Seriously, every psychiatrists office I've ever been in or to has one, and yes, I do have a pretty large representative sample, LOL. Is it some kind of inside joke? I've always wondered about it. Wish I had money right now, I'd be all over that demilune table. Holy incredible tiger-striping......

Did Maurice Clarett make another U-turn?

The T-bird was westbound on Morse, lost control, and crossed the centerline into eastbound traffic. Apparently it was just east of the entrance to the Limited warehouse. That's a bad stretch of road, there are a TON of people that just scream through there.

Distribution center is probably a no-touch. Hell, I'll take odds the driver never saw those carts until he swung down from the cab, since most large places don't even let the drivers into the actual warehouse. My place uses chocks on trailer drops and the ever-popular, "Turn the engine off and bring your semi-driving self inside where we can see that you are not going to do something dumb" method for live loads. Never had it happen to me, but I had a coworker back when who took a trip inside a trailer, after the driver decided to leave during the loading. They got about 1/4 mile through the lot before the driver realized what all the honking from his trailer was about. Never saw that driver again, and the coworker was REALLY paranoid about driver check-in after that. Naturally, the dock manager filled out a fake discipline report and had him thinking he was going to get in trouble for leaving the building while on the clock.....

Don't cross the streams.....
